When people encounter danger, they will always subconsciously choose the response that is most beneficial to them.
When the Alliance of Brothers occupied the Mobil Oilfield, Rebus chose to cooperate, so Rebus survived. Leslie chose to resist, so Leslie was shot to death randomly.
It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong, even from the perspective of Basel Petroleum Development Company.
Rebus chose to cooperate with the Brothers Alliance to exploit oil, which indeed harmed the interests of Basel Petroleum Development Company, but this does not mean that Rebus did something wrong. Rebus is just an ordinary person who works to support his family.
The salary given to Rebus by the Basel Petroleum Development Company is not high enough for Rebus to devote his life to it. When force majeure happens, Rebus's choice is understandable. No one can criticize Rebus for what he did.
It's not good enough. The only blame to blame is Basel Petroleum Development Company for not providing a safe working environment for Rebus.
Leslie was shot to death indiscriminately, which is very tragic and sympathetic, but on the other hand, Leslie's death made the Prince of Basel lose a loyal subordinate, which is very important to the Basel Petroleum Development Company.
Generally speaking, the loss is far greater than the oil stolen by the Brotherhood Alliance during this period.
Mustafa is a combatant. From a military perspective, Mustafa has reason to blame Rebus for his weakness, but Mustafa has forgotten that Rebus is not a combatant. Mustafa is the one who fights externally.
their thing.
So Mustafa's accusation against Rebus seems like a shirking of responsibility.
Of course, Rebus will not take the blame, especially after he has given up his mind. Rebus is also not polite: There is no clause in my contract that I must die for the company. That is the content of your contract.
,not mine.
This is not entirely correct. As private soldiers maintained by the Prince of Basel, Mustafa and the others should sacrifice their lives for the Prince of Basel. However, Mustafa and the others do not have a contract. The feudal system is still practiced in Tunisia. Mustafa
They cannot have a contract.
But your contract states that you cannot damage the company's interests. Can you ask how much oil you have mined for that damn brotherhood during this period? Mustafa's question is on point.
This was force majeure. At that time, I was pointed at my head with a rifle. If I didn't get on the derrick, I would be shot. What do you want me to do? Use my life to prove my bravery. There is no way there is anyone waiting for me to go home. Rebus knew
Mustafa had a reason to be angry, so he tried his best to explain.
Under normal circumstances, Rebus's situation is a force majeure. Even the Prince of Basel cannot ask Rebus to do more. Mustafa is obviously using the situation as a pretext and not just to establish his authority.
Just when Mustafa was about to speak, one of Mustafa's men trotted over and whispered in Mustafa's ear.
The expression on Mustafa's face was unpredictable. After his men finished speaking, Mustafa looked at Rebus with a strange look. After a while, he suddenly laughed: It's really good, 8,000 barrels per day.
The production has been raised to 15,000 barrels by you, which has almost quadrupled. This is really good news. I estimate that His Highness the Prince will give you a large reward. Tell me how you did it.
This motive is indeed not pure.
It's very simple. If we are forced at gunpoint and no one is allowed to pray, no one is allowed to be lazy, no one is allowed to ask for leave, and everyone keeps spinning like clockwork, the output can reach 15,000 barrels. Rebus told the truth, it seems that Mustafa has already
Know the truth.
Ha, you don’t even pray, you pagans, you all deserve to die. Mustafa’s expression immediately became ferocious. I guess Mustafa also knows what Rebus said at the Basel Petroleum Development Company.
It's unlikely to happen.
I really don’t need to pray, I believe in Catholicism. Rebus’s expression has not changed, and there is still fear in his voice.
Mustafa, who is both a Catholic and a pagan, immediately opened the map cannon.
Hey, hey, be careful, there are a lot of Catholics here, do you want to burn us to death? Yue Liang interrupted at the right time.
Yue Liangcai is also a Catholic believer. In fact, the members of the Lanfang Foreign Legion now all have the same faith regardless of whether they are devout or not. Of course, the majority are Catholic and almost none believe in local religions.
Mustafa can be ferocious when facing Rebus, but immediately dies when facing Yue Liangcai.
Yue Liangcai's words choked Mustafa a bit. Mustafa didn't say anything for a long time, and only stared at Yue Liangcai with a vicious look.
Yue Liangcai was not afraid, he looked at Mustafa with a smile, and placed his hand on the holster of his waist, seemingly unintentionally.
Mr. Colonel, I am dealing with the affairs of our Basel Petroleum Development Company. Can you please not interfere with Mustafa?
In fact, the contract between United Oil Company and Basel Petroleum Development Company is limited to the recovery of the Mobil Oil Field, so now that the members of the Brotherhood Alliance have been driven away, it means that the contract has been completed, and now there is nothing left for Yue Liangcai and the others.
Stop talking nonsense, the balance of the contract has not been paid, so until the balance is paid, it is not your turn to have the final say here. Now please take your people and evacuate to a safe area. I suspect there are still remnants of the Brotherhood here.
A thorough search is still needed to ensure that this place is completely handed over to you. Yue Liangcai immediately turned against him, and the change was so fast that it was embarrassing.
That's right, Mustafa doesn't have the final say whether the contract is completed or not. Party A and Party B have to confirm it before it counts. At the very least, the handover can only begin after the Prince of Basel and Chris confirm it. Now Musa
Tafa wanted to start liquidation, but it was too early.
Where do you want me to retreat to? Mustafa's eyes widened. He really didn't expect Yue Liangcai to turn his face so completely.
Strictly speaking, the current Mobil Oilfield is a safe zone inside the oil field. God knows if there are any remnants of the Brotherhood Alliance outside the oil field. If there are still people from the Brotherhood Alliance ambushing outside, then Mustafa and the others will just come to their doorstep.
You can go wherever you like, but you can't be here anyway. Although Yue Liangcai's tone was firm, there was still more of a joking element in his expression.
See, this is the result of not knowing current affairs. You are taught how to be a good person every minute.
No, we are also combatants. If we want to wipe out the remaining evildoers, we can also help. Mustafa immediately forgot about Rebus and ensured his own safety first.
Only now Mustafa remembered that before coming, the Prince of Basel had told him to be careful not to be used as a weapon by Yue Liangcai and others.
Look at what you just did. Was it helpful? It was more of a disservice than anything else. Only then did Yue Liang bring the topic back to Rebus, making it clear who was the speaker now.
Well, you have the final say, I won't do anything until the handover. Mustafa settles for the next best thing.
Mustafa really gritted his teeth when he said this.
It doesn't matter, even if we don't deal with Rebus now, when the United Oil Company people leave, there will be many opportunities to deal with Rebus. After all, Rebus is still a member of the Basel Petroleum Development Company, and a monk cannot escape the temple if he escapes.
Then you'd better be calm. After Yue Liangcai finished speaking, he ignored Mustafa and hooked Rebus's shoulder towards the derrick: You just said that the oil here can pump 10,000 barrels a day.
The United Petroleum Company where Yue Liangcai works is in this business, so Yue Liangcai is really sensitive to things like output.
Yes, it is 15,000 barrels per day. It was only 8,000 barrels before. It was only after those people from the Brotherhood came that the production increased steadily. Rebus is not stupid. He knows that Yue Liang is his only support now, so he really knows
Say nothing.
If we start work now, how much more can be harvested today? Yue Liangcai's eyes were literally shining with golden light.
United Oil Company has countless crude oil transport trucks, super large refineries, and mature sales channels. As long as there is crude oil, it can be turned into francs in minutes. This is real money. Yue Liangcai does not mind making a fortune.
If a person doesn’t come here, he won’t be rich.
It's a bit late today. It's difficult to get 15,000 barrels, but 10,000 barrels is no problem. Rebus doesn't care who he works for. Rebus is just an engineer and has no right to pick and choose.
So what are you waiting for? Let's start, move, move. Yue Liangcai doesn't want to waste a minute, because all this delay is money.
I'm afraid it will take some time for them to pray. Rebus looked at the workers who were praying leisurely and frowned a little. If the people from the Brotherhood were still there, anyone who dared to be so lax would have been whipped.
These workers have been really exhausted during this period. It is not easy to have an opportunity now, so they really need to make up for the missed work during this period.
In addition, Mustafa and the others were present, and their performance was still sufficient.
Hehe, United Oil does not raise lazy people. Yue Liangcai immediately laughed out loud and waved his hand to call over a group of soldiers.
These security personnel of United Oil have accumulated enough experience in dealing with North Africans when they served United Oil. After hearing Yue Liangcai's order, these soldiers did not have much resistance. They agreed happily and turned around to go.
The North Africans who were praying went over there.
So Rebus immediately saw Union Oil's work style.
Compared with the Alliance of Brothers, United Oil does not have a whip, but United Oil has a gun butt, and there are field medics waiting by the side. Even if the head is broken and bleeding, you still have to work after being bandaged. No one can be lazy.
.
As a result, the workers who were praying were really on their feet. The speed at which they got up from the ground was completely different from the slow prayer just now. They ran towards the derrick faster than a rabbit with an arrow in its butt.
Rebus was stunned by the sight in front of him, and a sentence came to his mind: No wonder many people say that the relationship between United Oil and the Brotherhood is unclear. Looking at the work style, you can tell that they are exactly the same.
