The new Governor of Liabi, Alfred Christian, was an old acquaintance of Yang Deshan, and how a Dane became the British Governor of Liaibi was not something Yang Deshan could understand, and Yang Deshan was not very surprised when he received Alfred Christian's telegram.

Although Alfred Christian has the aura of a governor, for Liabi, Yang Deshan is the standard local snake, and if he wants to solve Ghairyan's problem, Kenneth Heckless can do nothing without Yang Deshan's cooperation.

Here's the issue of first impressions.

When Yang Deshan began to meddle in the affairs of the Gairyan Oilfield, the Brotherhood Alliance was still just a weak organization with little reputation, and Yang Deshan naturally could not enter the eyes of Governor Liabie, so although Yang Deshan successfully mixed into the ranks of the shareholders of the Gairyan Oilfield, Yang Deshan was still not welcomed in the Governor's Palace, and this situation did not change until the previous Governor left office.

Now the situation is different, the Brotherhood Alliance has become de facto the largest civil organization in Liabi, and even has an armored corps, which makes everyone dare not despise the Brotherhood. If the former Governor was ready to transfer five British divisions to solve the problem of the Brotherly Alliance, now at least ten.

Ten divisions were mobilized during the World War, but in 1921 it was a luxury, and after the war Britain had only 15 divisions retained, and the rest of the troops had been abolished, and ten divisions were almost a national effort.

With such confidence, Yang Deshan was particularly confident when he met Alfred Christian.

"Compared to the last time we met, you now really have the demeanor of a superior, and I am older." Alfred Christian, who met Yang Deshan in the office, was very amiable and talked about old things as soon as they met.

To be honest, the last time we met, Yang Deshan still left a deep impression on Alfred Christian, Yang Deshan was indeed tough enough at that time, but in the face of the strong Englishman Yang Deshan behaved a little too tough, which made Alfred Christian not much wary of Yang Deshan, and it was easy to fold.

This time is different, with the rise of the strength of the brother alliance, the original external strength and middle cadres have really transformed into both internal and external cultivation, which can be seen from Yang Deshan's ability to look at Alfred Christian at eye level, and this Yang Deshan makes Alfred Christian even more vigilant.

"Whoever ignores you because of your experience, then he will definitely pay the price." Yang Deshan is not as tough as last time, and his opening is a compliment, which may be more acceptable to say this, but the meaning of rejecting people thousands of miles away is still obvious.

"Tell me, what advice do you have for Gairyan?" Alfred Christian does not have the arrogance of the superiors, and his opinion of Yang Deshan is still important, perhaps the situation in Liabi is really quite bad, and it has reached the point of urgency.

"What can I suggest be of any use? You know, this oil field bears a lot of people's hopes, too many people are counting on this to make a windfall, and if their return on investment doesn't live up to expectations, then there will definitely be problems with all kinds of maxims, and that's to be expected. Yang Deshan's answer was a bit general, but it went straight to the heart of the question.

Compared with United Petroleum, the shares of the Gaiyan Petroleum Development Company are indeed a bit complicated, and the shares of United Petroleum are still concentrated in the hands of Qin Zhiyuan and Lao Renault after several rounds of dilution, and the two of them each have almost 30 percent, and together they can completely control United Petroleum, and the other shareholders are speechless. Gairyan oil is different, in addition to the British government controls 30% of the shares, Yang Deshan's hands of 10% is actually the most, the rest of the shares are all scattered in the hands of the remaining hundreds of shareholders, these shareholders include members of the British royal family, cabinet ministers, traditional aristocrats, emerging consortia, etc., such a complex equity distribution, is indeed a headache.

One thing is certain, when these collectives or individuals participated in the Gairyan oilfield, they all came with the idea of "making a fortune", and now although the oilfield has been successfully put into production, the profit does not meet expectations, you can imagine how angry those shareholders are.

The departure of the former governor of Liaby has nothing to do with this, even if he is a governor, he cannot withstand the criticism of the whole society in Britain.

"You mean to raise the selling price? This is unlikely, at least not in the short term, and I have a piece of information here, if you analyze it by scale, our unit profit is not much different from that of United Oil, and considering the input, the return on capital is already very good. "Alfred Christian had done his homework beforehand, and his attitude was quite resolute.

"But it's not far from expectations." Yang Deshan said it again.

Yes, the problem arises in the expectation, those aristocrats and capitalists invest one pound, they want ten pounds in return, if in fact only two pounds of income, then they will think that their interests have been damaged, this kind of account is not clear, maybe those capitalists can accept it, but not all nobles can understand the rate of return on capital.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, is precisely one of the most bizarre social groups in a constitutional monarchy, but they have the greatest energy.

"Is there any way out of this situation?" Alfred Christian asked for advice from Yang Deshan.

"What I can do is to ensure efficiency, the workers are already very diligent, the unit efficiency is not inferior to the employees of United Petroleum, if you want to tap the potential from me, then you can only increase the number of workers." Yang Deshan also has no good suggestions, and Yang Deshan is not from a business background, so it is really difficult for Yang Deshan to find a solution to the problem.

Well, one thing to emphasize is that Yang Deshan's stake is calculated in the cost, and if you increase the number of workers, then the cost will be further increased and the profit margin will be further compressed.

After the world war, the competition between Britain and France was reflected in all aspects, since there was a French-led United Oil Pearl, the British-led Gairyan oil could not be resigned to being left behind, which in fact had transcended the economic level and risen to the level of politics and nationality, which was a political issue.

"I heard that your troops are equipped with tanks?" Perhaps realizing that Yang Deshan could not help in this regard, Alfred Christian turned to Wazin.

"Yes, Cong Lanfang bought it, I said hello to the Governor's Mansion in advance, but it's a pity that the arsenal in Manchester doesn't look down on my order." Yang Deshan's words were really resentful.

It was not an easy task to establish an armored force on the territory of the British, and Yang Deshan still used a method of crossing the sky and the sea to achieve this goal. This is also rooted in the previous Governor's Palace's neglect of Yang Deshan, if the Governor at that time had a full understanding of Lan Fang's audacity, then Yang Deshan's armored force might not be able to be built so smoothly.

Just after the British learned that Lan Fang sold the tanks to the Brotherly Alliance, the British government lodged a solemn protest to the Lan Fang government, of course, this is another round of mouth artillery, the money that has been put in the pocket, the Lan Fang people can not take it out again, at most they promised the British not to sell them in the future, but the contract that has been signed must be fulfilled.

For Lan Fang's audacity, to be honest, the British did not have much to do, although the British knew the route of the tanks into Liabi, but they could not do anything. The tanks were loaded onto French freighters from Lanfang, unloaded on Djerba, and transported via Tunisia to Gudamis and from there to Vazin, with no room for the British.

"So now, two or three months have passed, and your tank unit should already have a certain combat capability, right?" Alfred Christian cared deeply about the tank force.

This is the advantage of making Wazin a pure military base, Wazin is now a military camp, and the eyes of the British cannot survive in Wazin, which ensures that the training progress of the tank units will not leak to the greatest extent, and the British really do not know what the situation of the tank units of the Brotherly Alliance is now.

"It's not that easy, you know, driving a tank requires professional skills, firing a gun while driving is a technical job, communication between tanks, maintaining the overall formation, are all troublesome, without three or five years of training, it can't be called combat-capable." Yang Deshan looked sad, and his confused expression appeared on the square face of this big man, which was still quite joyful.

If Alfred Christian knew more about tanks, then he would have been able to hear some strange things, such as shooting on the move, which was a big problem until the 21st century, if the current tank wants to shoot, it must first stop and stabilize the body before firing, if Yang Deshan's armored troops have the ability to shoot on the move, it is almost a fantasy.

"Even if you don't open artillery, just using machine guns is very powerful, and you can think of those tanks as mobile fortresses one by one, mobile fortresses with strong firepower and strong defense, so it's much more comfortable." It cannot be said that Alfred Christian did not know anything about tanks, the word "fortress" is the current definition of a tank in the British.

Literally, "fortress" is focused on defense, and if you want to attack, it is more appropriate to describe it as "sword" or "hammer", Alfred Christian's words show that the use of tanks by the British is still in its infancy, and if the British only position tanks as fortresses, it would be a blessing for Rommel.

In response to Alfred Christian's words, Yang Deshan just shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

"I still remember that when we were talking, your people were responsible for the safety of the Gairyan oil field." Alfred Christian finally got to the point.

"It's operation, it's not security, these are two very different concepts." Yang Deshan was busy clearing up, which was a statement.

"Don't care what it is, now you have to be responsible for the security problem, there can be no more vicious incidents, remember, it's any!" Alfred Christian was resolute and did not give Yang the room to refuse.

"Okay, I'll try." Yang Deshan was a little crying and laughing.

Those bandits--

Well, it's both an athlete and a referee, so if you can do it well, that's hell.
