The Lanfang government has formed a set of effective management methods for treating prisoners of war, which is not a republic-style "preferential treatment of prisoners", nor is it a "humanitarianism" in the mouths of Western countries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 20,000 Saudi prisoners of war in Lan Fang's hands are still very useful, Lan Fang has gained so many territories in the Middle East in half a year, these places need manpower to build, and these prisoners of war can just become Lan Fang's "free labor".

The Saudis in this year are not the delicate and noble Saudis nourished by the boundless oil sea in the 21st century, Saudi Arabia in this year is still strictly speaking a slave country, and there are even slaves in Saudi Arabia, and the Saudis have little resistance to labor, and even relatively speaking, the Saudis are still very useful, let them do whatever they want, and they will never "grind foreign workers", and they do not have many requirements for life, as long as they can eat and starve.

The Saudis of this year are really the best Saudis.

With such a large number of "free labor" in his hands, Qin Haoge naturally wants to maximize his interests.

As far as Qin Haoge knows, several of these captives have a relatively high status in Saudi Arabia, and two of them also have the status of "princes", which must be used well.

Seeing that Qin Haoge was finally willing to talk about business, Jacob Clement also cheered up: "Of course, the problem of captives must be solved, how much money is more appropriate?" ”

Indeed, if you don't know the situation, and only listen to the tone, it is estimated that those who hear this sentence will think that Jacob Clement is not the governor of France, but a trader in the cattle market.

"I heard that the Saudis buy slaves for two camels for one, these serious Saudis should definitely be more valuable, and these are all soldiers, so even if it is ten camels for one." Qin Haoge opened his mouth.

Ten camels is not a small number, camels because of the particularity of the desert area, the value in the Middle East is still very high, if converted into Lanfang coins, the price of a camel is about 200 yuan, this price is indeed a bit high, almost 2,000 yuan a person, a little higher than the pension of a foreign legion in the world war.

Lan Fang has a total of about 20,000 Saudi prisoners in his hands, if it is executed at this price, then the Saudis want to exchange them back for a full 40 million Lan Fang yuan, considering that there are special creatures like "princes" among the captives, then the total price will be higher, even if Qin Haoge offers 100 million, it is not unusual.

The current Saudi Arabia is not the Saudi Arabia of the 21st century, the current Saudi Arabia has not discovered oil, Saudi Arabia is really the same as the name of their country, except for a lot of sand, there is nothing else, let alone 100 million, even 40 million Saudis are estimated to be unable to take it out.

Sure enough, hearing Qin Haoge's offer, Jacob Clement shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, the Saudis are not so valuable, and the Saudi government does not have so much money, this price is too high." ”

"And how much do you think is appropriate?" Qin Haoge didn't care, he asked for the price to pay back on the spot.

"Oh—what if only a few people were redeemed?" Jacob Clement hesitated for a long time and did not make a counteroffer, and simply went straight to the heart of the matter.

"If it's just a part, a million." Qin Haoge immediately became excited.

This, the price of packaging and selling will indeed be cheaper, if it is wholesale to retail, then the price will definitely rise.

"Well, I'm going to think about it." After Jacob Clement finished speaking, he immediately went out to negotiate with the Saudi envoy.

Qin Haoge still didn't come forward, and stood in the window watching the exchange between Jacob Clement and the Saudi envoy.

The Saudi envoy probably didn't expect Qin Haoge's offer to be so ruthless, and his expression was sad at Jacob Clement's pleading. Jacob Clement was unmoved, shaking his head again and again with a sneering face, presumably mocking Saudi Arabia's inadequacy.

The Saudi envoy bowed again and again, and even hugged Jacob Clement's thigh and begged Jacob Clement when he turned to leave.

Don't think that the action of "hugging your thighs" is insulting to the national body, as a messenger, no matter what method you use, as long as you complete the task, it is a victory, and it is a real shame to get nothing empty of both hands and put the country in a more dangerous situation.

Jacob Clement is not a good person, although he received the benefits of the Saudis, Jacob Clement did not mean to speak to the Saudis, and he was even more vicious in the face of the Saudi envoys. Despite the pleading, Jacob Clement's face was no less sneering.

It took a long time for Jacob Clement to return, leaving the Saudi envoy in place.

"Okay, you should thank me, two princes and three generals, I sold you a good price of 10 million." Jacob Clement speaks astonishingly.

This shameless guy actually doubled on the basis of Qin Haoge's bid, he really eats people without spitting out bones, and the Saudis begged Jacob Clement's head, which can be regarded as the Saudis' bad luck.

"No problem, one-tenth of your commission." Qin Haoge is not bad, and what should be given must be given.

10 million is not much to be honest, but if you use this money to hire Saudis, you should be able to hire a lot, at least more than five people, which is enough.

For Qin Haoge, whether it is a prince or a general, these natives are the same in Qin Haoge's eyes, they are all coolies, which is exactly what Lan Fang needs now.

On the same day that the agreement with France was announced, the Lanfang government also announced that it would build an airport and an army base in Djibouti, turning Djibouti into a nail in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

The British were resolutely opposed to the decision of the Lanfang government.

But this opposition now seems powerless, it is a deal between Lanfang and the French, and although it will certainly affect the interests of the British, the British have no right to interfere. After the British Government expressed its objections, the Lanfang Government had not yet spoken, and the French Government clearly expressed its attitude: On the Djibouti issue, the French can do whatever they want, and the British have no right to interfere.

In the Middle East, although the two warring parties are Lanfang and Iraqis, the war is actually dominated by the French and the British, the British have been defeated in the Middle East, and the French now have the upper hand, so they will naturally not be polite.

Ignoring the British and French artillery, the Lanfang government immediately dispatched transport ships and engineering teams to build an airport in Djibouti, and the ships were still flying the French flag.

This is tantamount to putting the British on the fire again, although the British know that this is Lan Fang's ship, but after flying the French flag, will they stop it or not?

If it is not stopped, Lan Fang's actions will be irreversible, and from then on, British ships will be threatened by Lan Fang at all times when passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. In the light of the present bad relations between France and Great Britain, I am afraid that the Second World War would begin immediately, and that it would have erupted between the two major victorious powers of the previous World War, which would be a disaster for both the French and the British.

In fact, now the British can no longer take care of these trivial things, after the defeat of the Middle East, what the British need is a step, a step that can withdraw from the Middle East and leave with dignity, otherwise although the Middle East is like a chicken rib for the British, but leaving the Middle East in such an embarrassing way, where do you put the face of the British Empire?

So the "good man of 10,000 years" appeared in the United States.

In early June, the United States proposed to convene a conference in Cairo to resolve the Middle East issue once and for all.

This proposal was immediately endorsed by Britain and France, not only the British, but also the French who hoped that the Middle East would calm down as soon as possible, and that the French could concentrate on extracting oil from northern Syria.

Lan Fang didn't care, because Qin Zhiyuan knew very well that this place in the Middle East was a powder keg, and the national contradictions and disputes between Persian sects that had accumulated over thousands of years would be tantamount to wishful thinking if they could be completely resolved with one or two meetings.

However, for the Lanfang-controlled area, neither of these problems is a problem.

There is no ethnic division in Lanfang at all, whether it is Chinese or Western, even if one has black hair and black eyes, and the other has red eyebrows and green eyes, they all have only one unified title: Lanfang people.

Lan Fang's religious policy does not have room for Persianism to enter and not leave, just a "freedom of belief", which sweeps away the core part of Persianism, whether it is Persianism or Catholicism, Lan Fang does not prohibit the spread of religion, but if a certain sect wants to make Lan Fang people compulsorily join, then Lan Fang will let them have a deeper understanding of Lan Fang's religious policy.

Without these two problems, it would not be easy for the Persians to play any flowers in Lanfang, and now the Persian Gulf is in the Lanfang bowl, and without the support of oil, it will not be easy for the Persians to export religion like in the 21st century, and without financial support, the extremist sects will have no soil to survive at all.

Although Qin Zhiyuan has his own ideas, the Lanfang government also responded positively to the call of the Americans on the surface.

However, the response is the response, and the promise that should be fulfilled must also be fulfilled, although the Persian Gulf is already in the bowl of Lanfang, but if you want to take it completely, Lanfang has to do more work.

After Chen Kangjian landed in Yemen, the first thing he built was an airport.

At present, in Moon Bay, Dou Yongyi's transport plane brigade is ready to set off at any time, and with the performance of the "kangaroo" transport plane, as long as it can have a base in Yemen, the "kangaroo" transport plane can fly to any corner of the Persian Peninsula in half a day.

Airborne Forces, this is the protagonist of the next stage of the war.
