Hantec. Brown arrived in Rome to meet with the U.S. ambassador to Italy, and then met with Ziano to reaffirm Chevron's friendly relationship with Italy.

Of course, I met Mussolini and listened to the guy's bragging.

Until he met with Sinclair and obtained the specifics of the Libyan oil fields, he was in no hurry to negotiate with the Italians, nor did he have to come forward to negotiate. He came to the Mediterranean after attending the secret meeting on the oil of Achnakari Castle in the Scottish Highlands, (how could there be no Italians in the important meeting, the Italian presence is really low!) The main purpose was to examine the oil situation in North Africa and the Middle East.

Ziano was appointed by Mussolini to negotiate with Chevron, and he was also concerned about the situation of Libyan oil, so he flew to Tripoli and Italo, the Libyan governor's palace. Balbo communicated and cooperated on the Libyan oil issue.

With Mussolini's support, the Libyan Governor's Office and the Italian oil company Eni fully cooperated with Ziano.

Hantec. Brown stayed in Rome for a short time, and saw many of Mussolini's political achievements, well, the beautiful public buildings on the streets, but in terms of industrial construction, not much, and privately thought that Rome could not compare to New Tangshan.

Although Italy is also known as an industrial power, it is relatively large in terms of technology and scale, and cannot be compared with the United States.

Heavy industry is underdeveloped, the petrochemical industry is also very backward, and Eni, Italy's largest oil company, is a fraction of the size of Chevron, which may make it more eager to get Libyan oil resources.

In Benghazi, Handar. Brown met Sinclair.

After the development of oil in the Siirt region, the Benghazi branch became one of Chevron's important overseas companies. The place where Brown was going to inspect.

"Congratulations, Mr. Sinclair! The efforts of you and your colleagues have contributed a lot to the company. I'm sorry for my hasty conclusion that there was no oil in North Africa earlier! The size of the board of directors in Libya could reach $50 million! ”

Hantec. Brown said sincerely, shaking Sinclair's hand vigorously.

Sinclair was a little moved in his heart, and when he heard that number, he opened his mouth in surprise - this time it was really a heavy investment.

Hantec. Brown and people in the American oil industry have a bad impression of themselves, and now that the oil scandal on the teapot is not over, he is wanted and has to run overseas. Like a lost dog, it's normal to be looked down upon.

Can now make Hantec. It's really not easy for Brown to say such things.

Two kind words were not enough to make Sinclair dizzy, and he quickly calmed down and received his boss politely.

Material rewards are indispensable, Handar. Brown told Sinclair that Sinclair was taken aback by the board's decision to award a 0.5 percent stake in Sinclair, who had worked hard.

"yes, I know it's a big reward. Recently, the company's stock has risen quite a bit. Taking advantage of the good stock market, the company is ready to issue new shares without worrying about financial problems. ”

Hantec. Brown laughed.

In addition to Sinclair, employees in Libya and North Africa have received stock awards from top to bottom for their excellent business, and Chevron oil shares worth more than $200 a share more than the dollar.

Hantec. Brown regained the goodwill of the employees of the branch through "buying" and regained the relationship between the board of directors and overseas employees.

Sinclair said he hadn't been back to the U.S. for several years. The family is still in the United States and asked the company to come forward and take his lawsuit.

Hantec. Brown agreed. comforted Sinclair and said: "You know the relationship between the boss and the Mellon family, as long as he says a word, he can handle it." But at the same time, you know how hard it is to get him to ask for help.

However, even if you don't use the personal relationship of the boss, the board of directors will come forward to help you with the lawsuit back then, and you must be mentally prepared that you will be troubled by the Department of Justice for a few days when you return to the United States.

The authority of federal law must be maintained. Hehe. ”

It's actually quite troublesome to get through the relationship and get the Ministry of Justice to let Sinclair go, but whoever told Sinclair to make such a big contribution, the board of directors will not refuse Sinclair's request, and it will not send such a wonderful employee overseas.

Sinclair's heart warmed when he heard this, and he also understood Situ Nan's character. It would not be easy to open up to the Mellon family, otherwise it would not be that Chevron Oil often takes care of Gulf Oil, but the other way around.

Sinclair also did not complain about Situ Nan, and if Situ Nan had not taken him in and supported him, he would have been in worse condition in other places. Without Situ Nan nodding, Handa. Will Brown be kind enough to help him settle the lawsuit?

After talking about personal affairs, the two turned their attention to corporate affairs.

Coming to the port of Silt again, it was a lot more lively, and at the pier I also encountered a passenger ship with Chinese characters written on the side of the ship, the ship is not large, with a displacement of seven or eight thousand tons or even tens of thousands of tons, and what is surprising is a group of black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese wearing blue overalls.

When they came to a foreign country, they showed a curious and restrained look on their faces, and landed on the shore in an orderly manner under the command of the team leader.

I was soon surprised to find that there were many Chinese people with the same yellow skin and black hair on the streets of Sirt, greeting each other to their hometowns and families.

In addition to the two lines of English and Italian that I can't read on the street, there are also familiar Chinese characters Chinese the street signs.

There was also a group of young officers on the ship who did not disembark, standing on the deck and looking at the dock town and pointing, talking and laughing. Their next stop is in Europe, the Royal Navy Greenwich School in the United Kingdom or the Munich Military Academy in Germany.

Xu Xiangqian silently looked at the port of Sierte, behind which was the Mediterranean, the heart of Europe.

I don't know what I think above, I obviously performed mediocre in Nanhua's low-intensity public security operations, and the above actually sent him to study in Germany? Instead of performing well, Hu Zongnan, who eliminated 2,000 bandits at one time?

The Nanhua delegation became a watershed in the future of the students, some continued to fight in Nanhua, some returned to China to be reused, and many lucky people were sent to study abroad.

Xu Xiangqian felt that he was lucky, and he was careful and he also found that Hu Zongnan, Jiang Dingwen and other classmates who stayed in Nanhua and were absorbed into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were suddenly promoted to become rich were all people with quick minds and flexible means. is more fame and fortune, so in the suppression of bandits, more unscrupulous!

In contrast, most of my classmates who stayed abroad are honest people, and their military temperament is more pure.

If you stay in Nanhua, you will do it with Hu Zongnan. I will soon have a net worth of more than 10,000 yuan, and 100 acres of fertile land, right?

Xu Xiangqian didn't want to comment on the experience of "suppressing bandits" in Nanhua, there were too many negative elements of greed and cruelty, but at the same time, he also knew how miserable the hungry people in China were when they went south from the Central Plains!

"If we don't crack down on bandits and don't have enough land to cultivate, then our relatives in our hometown will starve to death!"

Recalling his boss's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Xiangqian's mouth. There was a kind of relief and ease, walking through Singapore, Mumbai, and the Suez Canal, and seeing the swaggering white people, and countless Chinese struggling to make a living overseas, he seemed to be less disgusted by the experience of Nanhua.

"You, your mind is too heavy, don't think too much. The already bitter face is no longer cheerful. Beware of the German girl ignoring you! ”

A handsome young man beside Xu Xiangqian jumped out coldly, he met Xu Xiangqian on the boat. Lin Biao, who also doesn't like to talk, the two became friends who "talk a lot", but Lin Biao studied the navy, and he was going to the UK.

"What nonsense? The state sends us to learn, not to play. Xu Xiangqian said.

Germany was not doing well economically because of the defeat in the war. After the war, a large number of Germans emigrated to South China. Because there were many men, boys and girls who died in France, many Chinese workers abducted French women to settle in South China after the war.

In the South China Army, foreign girls are often associated with war, and the instructors in the army will also joke. This is the price of war. If you can't stay away like the Yankees, then arm yourself for the next wave of war.

"It's been a big eye-opener all the way!"

Lin Biao said with emotion, "When I was in China, what I thought about the most was to overthrow the warlords, drive away the foreigners, and let the people live a good life." Looking at the outside world, my thinking has changed a little, and the angle of looking at the problem is also different, I feel that it is not interesting to stare at the one-acre and three-point yellow earth, or galloping in the sea and frontier, competing for hegemony in the ocean, and it is more magnificent! Life is wonderful! ”

"Who said that he was forced to study the navy, and now he has a strong naval flavor? Don't you look down on our turtles? Xu Xiangqian teased Lin Biao and said, "It's a pity, the ocean hegemony you are looking forward to has come to an end, and now the world's navies are on vacation?" ”

"Nope! There's always a day! Didn't you notice that the state has been investing more and more in shipbuilding this year? The finance department also set up a large number of fishing companies to manage their operations in the open sea, not to mention shipping companies, and the banks gave them a large number of loans.

All this shows that the potential of the navy is growing rapidly, and when we return from our studies, it will definitely be useful! ”

Lin Biao said confidently.

"The country? What country are you from? Xu Xiangqian suddenly smiled and asked.

Lin Biao was stunned when he heard this......

"Let's go! Go down and have a look! See if the restaurants below have old vinegar? Xu Xiangqian tasted back.

"It's good! I heard that for the sake of Libyan oil, the Americans are about to fight with the Italians! Lin Biao said, remembering the news of the US fleet's visit to the Mediterranean Sea today, he couldn't help but say.

In Libya, they were just passers-by, and after witnessing the Chinese actively exploring in Africa, they continued to travel to Europe in search of the legendary "fire and sword"!

"There are a lot of Chinese here! It feels like walking in Los Angeles' Chinatown. "Chevron Oil Company Building, the tallest building in Port Silt, Hantec. Brown looked out the street at the city of Silt and smiled.

"When we first built this place, in addition to white engineers, seventy or eighty percent of the workers were hired from Nanhua."

Sinclair said with a smile, and added in his heart that without these cheap and easy-to-use Chinese workers, if he had relied on the money allocated by the headquarters to recruit workers from the United States to develop the Libyan oil fields, it is estimated that the Libyan branch would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Because of the friendship that grows together, Sinclair and the Libyan branch are friendly to Chinese workers, and in addition to the necessary technical personnel, general worker positions are willing to be offered to Chinese people.

Of course, it must be mentioned here that the Chinese workers and technicians sent to Libya have all had experience in participating in the construction corps or engaging in oil exploration and exploitation in South China, and the quality of the workers is quite good.

"Will a disproportionately high proportion of Chinese workers be too big to hinder the start of work?" Hantec. Brown asked, a little worried.

"If it were elsewhere, it would certainly be politically incorrect. But in Libya, we are Chevron, and they can be trusted, and now they are fighting alongside us. When you meet Zhou, you'll know. ”

Sinclair laughed.

He pointed to the Silt police station opposite, there were several decadent and powerless colonial policemen standing at the door of the police station, and he smiled: "When I was in Tripoli, the Governor said that he would transfer troops over, and a colonial regiment like this is not as good as our company's security team!" ”

Sinclair looked dismissive and did not take the Italians seriously, and if he was in Tripoli or Benghazi, he might have been jealous, but in the port of Sirte, where every grass and tree was built by Chevron, the presence of Italians was too weak.

As long as there is an unclear fight, the Port of Silt or Chevron Oil Company has the final say!

Sinclair's tough attitude, Handar. Brown saw it in his eyes, and secretly praised in his heart that it was necessary for Sinclair to develop overseas, and he would dare to fight and not be reckless.

He became interested in Sinclair's Zhou Ziqiang, a very important person in Libya, and Sinclair did everything in Libya with the shadow of his involvement.

Soon, on a hot afternoon, in a desert with sparse vegetation and low vegetation and gravel everywhere, some broken marble ruins could be seen on the way, which might have any cultural value, but no one cared.

In short, Hantec. Brown saw Zhou Ziqiang, a wheat-colored, tall, military-style man in a security uniform, jumping out of the armored car and walking briskly.

"Mr. Brown, we're meeting again!" Zhou Ziqiang greeted with a smile.

He was accompanied by a group of dozens of people armed with Thompson submachine guns, and Zhou Ziqiang said hello to Sinclair, waved his hand, and let the armed men disperse.

Hantec. Brown hesitated, wondering how he had met him.

"When Chevron invested in oil fields in Sumatra, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Brown in South China, Mr. Brown may not remember me, but I always remember you. I also heard Mr. Situ mention you. ”

Zhou Ziqiang explained.

Hantec. Brown nodded, a "I remember" look on his face. Of course, he really didn't remember Zhou Ziqiang, a nobody, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that Zhou Ziqiang mentioned Situ Nan, Hantec. Brown had to pay attention to it, and felt that this week's self-improvement could not be underestimated.

In the case that he and Chevron Petroleum Company strictly approved the funds of the Libyan branch, Sinclair was able to persevere, and it has to be said that Zhou Ziqiang and the Chinese consortium behind him secretly made a lot of efforts.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Ziqiang is still a diplomat sent by South China on the surface, but now he is in the inland area in a grand manner, with a group of security teams that look like an army, what does this mean?

Zhou Ziqiang is certainly "out of shape", he has a lot of relationship with Chevron Oil Company, and the existence of Italians is too weak. (To be continued.) )
