Although the Najd Oil Company took away most of the profits from the Najd Oilfield, the Najd royal family still did not dare to neglect it.
Najd Oil Company has now grown into an oil company comparable to Adan Company. If you think about American oil companies, which are restricted by Adan Company and Najd Oil Company in the United States, you will know how profitable Najd Oil Company is.
.
The 10% that the royal family of Najd receives is 10% of all profits, which alone brings in tens of millions of rands every year.
The royal family of Najd does not participate in the operation of the oil company, nor does it have the ability to do so.
So the money is just like picking it up for free.
However, if the royal family of Najd accepts the money with peace of mind and says nothing, then the king of Najd should be replaced.
Like Joseph Lyons, Prince Nasser also wanted to buy the two "Johannesburg" class heavy cruisers that were about to be retired.
It should be noted here that there are 12 heavy cruisers in Southern Africa, the Atlantic Fleet and the East India Fleet, and two each of the four squadrons. The first ship of the "Johannesburg" class heavy cruiser, the "Johannesburg", is in service in the Persian Gulf Squadron.
It is also the flagship of the Persian Gulf Squadron.
Obviously, after the Sultanate of Najd purchased the two "Johannesburgs", they were probably given to the Persian Gulf Squadron for use.
After all, the fighter jets purchased by the Sultanate of Najd from southern Africa are now in Port Elizabeth. The pilots flying those fighter jets are all southern Africans and are under the command of the Persian Gulf Squadron.
Unlike the stingy Australians, the Najdites, who own oil field profits, have deep pockets. They offered a total of 6.5 million rand for two "Johannesburg" class heavy cruisers. With a little more, they can build an aircraft carrier.
Of course it is an aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft.
Carrier-based aircraft are more expensive than the aircraft carrier itself.
"Nasser, I have sold those two Johannesburgs to the Australians." Rock was speechless. Both the Australians and the Najds were too eager. The Royal Navy would probably be envious.
It would be great if retired Royal Navy warships could be so in demand.
"Then what should we buy?" Nasser accidentally said what he was thinking.
Look, people are so simple-minded.
Anyway, I brought the money, so I need to buy some things before I leave. Otherwise, I won’t be able to account for it if I don’t go back.
"Buy some large transport aircraft and go back." This is not a suggestion from Rock.
"Okay!" Nasser said simply and neatly, without even asking about the price.
If the Sultanate of Najd buys warships, then Southern Africa can form an airborne force in Port Elizabeth.
The role of the airborne troops is still very important. Port Elizabeth is located between Cyprus and Changi Naval Base. No matter which direction a war breaks out, the airborne troops can be deployed as quickly as possible.
During the World War, American W. Mitchell proposed the idea of using a bomber group to parachute an infantry division behind the German front to carry out attacks.
After the World War, Southern Africa established the world's first airborne force. Since there has been no demand since the war until now, the size of the airborne force has never been large.
Now as the war approaches, it is definitely necessary to expand the size of the airborne troops. Roque's initial plan is to form two divisions and deploy them all to Port Elizabeth.
During the World War, the Sultanate of Najd sent eight cavalry divisions to participate in the war with the Southern African Expeditionary Force.
After the war, the cavalry division was disbanded on the spot. Except for some cavalrymen who went to the Umbrella Company as mercenaries, most of them were disarmed and returned to their fields.
Now the Sultanate of Najd relies on the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company for the safety of its palace. It can be said that the Sultanate of Najd is the country in the world that needs Umbrella Company the most.
When Roque and Prince Nasser were discussing arms purchase
If this can be considered a negotiation, to be honest, I have never seen such an easy negotiation.
The price of large transport aircraft is not cheap, especially for a country like the Sultanate of Najd.
No matter how high the price Roque offered, Prince Nasser would not even pay back the price. Roque would take whatever he said, and there was no sense of achievement at all in the killing.
In the end, the Sultanate of Najd purchased 65 transport aircraft from Southern Africa at a price of 6.5 million rand, with a unit price of up to 100,000 rand. To be honest, neither southern Africa nor the United States can afford this price.
In order to thank the generous and selfless Najd people, Roque presented the Najd royal family with two latest business jets, which made Prince Nasser happier than 65 transport planes.
Because one of them was designated as a gift to Prince Nasser.
The other was designated as a gift to King Najd.
When Roque and Prince Nasser were discussing arms purchases, a banquet was being held on the garden lawn.
Rock was so busy that he didn't even have time to appear in public, so it was Stoudemire and Henry who came forward to receive distinguished guests from various countries.
As well as the three elders in southern Africa who have also made fewer and fewer public appearances in recent years.
Among the three old men, Ade is the one who dislikes appearing in public the most. Philip has been in poor health recently, so he showed up at the door of the main building in the backyard and went upstairs to rest. The happiest person is Kitchinna.
Southern Africa has begun to pay attention to environmental protection in recent years, and the environment is getting better and better.
Southern Africa originally had a good foundation. After the launch of large-scale infrastructure construction during the economic crisis, the level of infrastructure construction in Southern Africa has reached a new level.
In recent years, more and more people are taking care of the elderly in Southern Africa, including many old friends in Kitchener. After all, the winter in Southern Africa is really nice compared to the winter in London.
It's winter in London right now, but it's as warm as spring in southern Africa.
Kitchener took out the marshal's uniform from the bottom of the box and put it on again. On his chest were a lot of medals, awarded by the British Empire, France, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Federal Government of Southern Africa.
of
Anyway, as long as there are famous medals, Kitchener has them, and all kinds of large ribbons are piled thickly on the shoulders, just like the vendors who resell medals.
"Germany marched into the Rhineland. You French people didn't object to it. You didn't object to it. Why should we in southern Africa object to it?" Kitchina's voice was loud and full of energy. It seemed that he would have no problem living for another ten years.
Speaking of Ade from another time and space, it seems that he passed away in the past two years.
Adelaide in this time and space is actually in good health, and he will be fine for a few more years.
After all, Ade in another time and space was left out in the cold after returning to the British Empire. The last few years of his life were very miserable, and it is normal to die early.
In this time and space, Ade has been the Prime Minister for another ten years in the self-made era. He is in a happy and energetic mood. Looking at the prosperity of southern Africa, Ade wants to see it for a few more years.
"You Brits" are blasting French Ambassador to Southern Africa Henri-Philippe Pétain at Kitchener.
Yes, it was Pétain who served as commander-in-chief of the French army during the World War.
After the World War, Pétain served as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission for ten years. He served as Director of the Army in 2022. From 2025 to 2026, he led the French army to French Morocco to counter the rebellion. In 2031, he served as Director of Defense and Control and concurrently served as Minister of the Army. Germany
After marching into the Rhineland, Pétain was implicated for advocating the construction of the Maginot Line. He came to southern Africa and served as France's ambassador to southern Africa.
When Pétain was the commander-in-chief of the French army, Kitchener was the British Minister of War and the top military commanders of Britain and France respectively.
"I am now a southern African!" Kitchina looked arrogant. The British are all in the past tense.
"Well, you southern Africans" Pétain was obviously not as strong as Kitchener. He had never been a strong person.
Pétain, like Foch, another old French marshal, was a typical example of a late bloomer, becoming a general in his 60s.
Kitchener is another typical example. He started serving as the commander-in-chief of Egypt at the age of 40, a standard colonial soldier.
"I know what you want to say. What you want to say has never been done by us southern Africans!" Kitchener interrupted frequently, not giving Pétain a chance to speak.
The old friends around were very happy when they saw the arrogant Kitchina and the constipated Pétain.
Adé folded his hands on his cane and looked at the quarreling Kitchener and Pétain with a smile, as well as the former marshals and governors who were adding fuel to the fire around them, feeling satisfied.
What could be more gratifying than having a group of old friends gather together happily in the dying years of life?
"Today's southern Africa is the former British Empire. You are also ready to betray France at any time. Don't think that I don't know what you did in Saint-Roch." Pétain looked indignant. He was talking about the World War.
During this period, Kitchener once wrote the letter to Rock.
During the World War, Kitchener once wrote a letter to Rock, which clearly stated that once the war went unfavorably, Rock would try his best to bring the British Expeditionary Force back to the British mainland.
Since Rock wanted to bring the expeditionary force back to the British mainland as much as possible, he had to make some preparations, so the contents of the letter were accidentally leaked.
"If the German army broke through our defense line at that time, then we would have to retain as much strength as possible. Am I wrong? I am the British Minister of War. Naturally, I have to consider the issue from the perspective of the Minister of War." Kitchener disagreed.
If he thought he was at fault, he would do the same thing if he were replaced by Pétain.
"You simply did not spend all your energy on fighting Germany. It was precisely because of your half-heartedness that you gave the Germans a chance to rise again." Pétain was also dissatisfied with British appeasement.
"We at least did what we should do, but you put almost all your hopes on that dead snake-like Maginot Line. This is why we in southern Africa cannot give France full confidence." Kitchen.
Sodium's sense of smell is still very keen, which is an essential quality for a natural commander.
Pétain was still about to refute, but Ade suddenly spoke.
"Henry, Herbert is right, you shouldn't place your hopes on the Maginot Line."
Even Adelaide could see that there was a problem with the Maginot Line, couldn't Pétain?
