712 Seeking to usurp the throne
After another three days of tossing and turning, the troops that had gone to recover the Mobil oil field finally changed their outfits and were ready to set off again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Compared to the last time, the preparation before departure is undoubtedly much more noisy.
More than 100 brand-new cars have just disembarked from Djerba, and these new cars have to be debugged by technicians to determine the best condition, and some soldiers will also add some small decorations and small bits and pieces according to their own habits, and there are more experienced veterans who directly disassemble and assemble them, and the seats have been removed a lot, so as to make enough space to carry bullets for the on-board machine guns, so that the whole camp can be jumped.
In fact, for the time being, cars like "Bulldogs" are still in high demand, if it weren't for United Oil to buy, I don't know what year and month to queue up, anyway, the Prince of Basel wanted to buy a batch of "Bulldogs" half a year ago to equip his own guards, but he hasn't gotten the goods yet.
So the Prince of Basel is now more and more certain that this is a conspiracy against him.
Although he understood the taste, the Prince of Basel was also helpless, the money had already been paid, and now the Prince of Basel would not get anything if he tore up the contract, well, then he could only knock out his teeth and swallow tears in his stomach.
Before the troops set off, the Prince of Basel came to inspect again, this time he was smarter, and brought 100 members of the private guard to act together with the troops sent by the United Oil, which was called to increase the strength, but in fact the intention was obvious, that is, he was afraid that the troops sent by the United Oil would not be able to work hard, and he wanted to ensure that his own money was not wasted.
Chris did not refuse this unit, which was only equipped with camels, and only demanded that the people sent by Basel obey the command of the officers of the combined oil force, and were not allowed to act privately.
Basel also did not want to make trouble, as long as it could successfully recover the Mobil oil field, so after a simple communication, the troops immediately dispatched and sent the troops to the Mobil oil field.
The force of more than a hundred cars is still spectacular, at least in North Africa, this is a fairly large force, even if it is used to subvert a certain country, it is enough.
So the Prince of Basel, who was standing in front of the camp gate, had a twinkle in his eyes.
Soon the Prince of Basel found out that something was wrong, and about a third of the cars were dispatched, and the rest of the cars had no intention of starting at all.
"What's going on?" The Prince of Basel immediately asked.
"This is the follow-up force, they won't be dispatched until tomorrow, okay, let's stop here today." Chris is in a relaxed mood at this moment, and the total value of his contract with Basel exceeds 20 million francs, which is really easy to make.
"Let's talk to your office." The Prince of Basel is in a hot mood right now, and he doesn't care about the details in front of him.
"More than happy to serve you." Chris doesn't know there's another good thing coming to his door now, but it's always nice to deal with a guy like the Prince of Basel, who is stupid and has a lot of money.
Chris's office is in the barracks, and this guy is also cautious, and he has to live in the barracks to feel safe.
UMC has the only armored unit in North Africa on Djerba, and although it has only 20 tanks, it is already the most powerful force in the region. Chris's favorite thing to do is to line up 20 tanks in front of his office, like a guard of honor to surprise every guest who comes to visit Chris.
This kind of behavior seems to be a bit of an upstart, but it is indeed very effective, at least in the past few years on the island of Chris Djerba, United Oil can be said to be invincible in North Africa, no one dares to embarrass United Oil, at least those who have heads and faces do not dare.
Like all the feudal officials, Chris's office is richly decorated, with gold leaf decorations everywhere, a large number of antique cultural objects, handmade tapestries and huge taxidermy animals full of North African style, and knives studded with various gems hanging on half of the walls.
Well, it's not actually Chris's aesthetic standards, but it's very much in line with the Prince Basel's aesthetic standards, so the Prince of Basel likes Chris's office very much.
"Drink something? Coffee, or champagne? "As the master, Chris personally served the Prince of Basel, and there are not many taboos in words.
According to North African customs, alcoholic beverages are absolutely forbidden, but Chris is not so taboo about the Prince of Basel, and champagne is also a type of alcoholic drink.
"A glass of champagne, thank you." As a perennial Parisian person, the Prince of Basel's choice did not come as a surprise to Chris.
"Don't worry, in three days at most, the Mobil field will be back in your hands, and you'll see how well you're paying now." Chris thought that the thoughtful Prince Basel was really worried about his money, so he said something of relief.
"It's not about moneyβ" Prince Basel took the champagne, looked up and drank it cleanly, then glanced at the empty glass in his hand, and then looked at Chris's expression of disgust: "Don't you have a little more energy?" β
Well, the Prince of Basel still remembered the rules and did not ask for vodka directly.
Chris shrugged his lips and took a bottle of brandy and put it in front of the Prince of Basel.
Chris is not religious, and only goes to church once in a while when needed, and Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault are Chris's gods.
This time, the Prince of Basel was obviously more satisfied, poured a large cup and drank it all, poured it again to the normal level, and then slowly spoke: "What would you think if-I mean, if I wanted to hire your people to do something, something that might cause you trouble?" β
"Trouble? No matter what you do in this world, even if you go to a restaurant to eat, it will bring trouble to the waiter, but the restaurateur is always willing, so this trouble varies from person to person, for United Oil, you are a partner of United Oil, and at the same time a big customer, you never represent trouble, United Oil is very happy to serve you. "Chris was in good spirits right away.
It would certainly be beyond the norm to make the Prince of Basel feel troubled, but only in this way will there be enough profit. Chris's cleverness lies in the fact that whenever he needs to use the first person, Chris will always use "United Oil" instead, which can give people enough confidence, and at the same time, it also unconsciously raises Chris's value, so that people will not realize that Chris is just a professional manager.
"Then, help me prepare another army - no, this one will do, and when they drive out the Brotherhood, I will ask them to do another thing, you can make an offer." The Prince of Basel was ruthless, his eyes were a little red, and his mouth was foaming when he spoke, which was really rude.
"What do you mean, I would like to ask?" Chris wasn't quite sure about the Prince of Basel's purpose.
"No, no, no, I can't tell you just yet, I need time to prepare, and I'll tell you when the time is right." Prince Basel's expression was gloomy and his eyes were sinister, and he looked at Chris with flashing eyes, presumably assessing Chris's credibility.
"First of all, I want to state that United Oil will not do anything that is unfavorable to the French government, and United Oil will not betray France-" Chris said while watching the reaction of the Prince of Basel, and after seeing Basel shaking his head slightly, Chris continued: "Secondly, United Oil does not do anything to cross the border, although my boss is not afraid of the British, but he does not want to make trouble - then in Tunisia, you can be called 'trouble' in Tunisia-ohoh-oh-"
Chris suddenly understood what Prince Basel meant, and was dumbfounded for a while.
The only person who can be called a trouble by the Prince of Basel in Tunis is the current king of Tunis, the brother of the Prince of Basel, Mohammed V Nader.
This is tantamount to plotting to usurp the throne!
"Actually, you don't need to worry, His Majesty's physical condition is not good, maybe in these two years, His Majesty will die, and you will not have a chance at that time." Chris is also weighing up the gains and losses.
When Chris took office, Qin Zhiyuan drew a red line for Chris, that is, United Oil can only be a commercial company and cannot be involved in any politics.
The "can't" here refers to French politics, even Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to get involved in the French presidential election, and United Oil can't be mixed casually, Qin Zhiyuan established United Oil only to make profits, not to manipulate the regime of a certain country, although United Oil looks powerful, but in front of a country like France, it is still not enough.
But if it's Tunis Si, to be honest, Chris is really a little excited.
With the strength of the United Oil Company, it is a bit overwhelming to decide the president of France, but if it is Tunis, Chris is still very confident.
Tunis's defense is now completely dependent on France, and even King Nader's own guards are limited in strength, and they don't even need to use the armored forces of Union Oil, they only need to send a short and concise commando team to capture the palace of Tunis, and if Basel comes forward to clean up the mess, it seems that the possibility of success is indeed relatively large.
There is only one reason to worry, and that is the reaction of the French government, but with the Prince of Basel's long-sleeved dance in Paris, the French should not be embarrassed by the Prince of Basel, but in that case, Union Oil will definitely arouse the vigilance of some people and breed some adverse effects on Union Oil, which must be taken into account.
"Hehe, even if His Majesty the King dies, it will be my good nephew who will ascend the throne, and I, the third heir, will have no use." Prince Basel didn't want to wait, not for a minute, and the thought of the throne being so within reach made Prince Basel feel a fire burning in his heart.
Compared to the throne, the Mobil oil field is really nothing.
