Situ Nan has always coveted the oil of the Middle East, and for this reason he did not hesitate to invest heavily in supporting Ibn ? Saudi Arabia, pay for the guns, help Ibn? Saudi Arabia takes power in Saudi Arabia

With the weapons and ammunition promised by Situ Nan, they were transported from the United States to Kuwait via Venezuela and then to the Saudi capital, Yalid. With this batch of weapons, Ibn ? The Saudis soon armed tens of thousands of troops and prepared to conquer the Hejaz Kingdom in the western part of the Arabian Peninsula and unify Saudi Arabia.

Shotguns for guns, sophisticated American-made munitions let Ibn ? Saudi self-confidence began to swell, and to his delight, Situ Nan also sent a pair of more than 100 military recruits to train Arab soldiers.

Under the training of instructors who were mixed with yellow and white seeds, Ibn ? Although the newly recruited peasant soldiers in Saudi Arabia could not be reborn, they finally had the appearance of a few soldiers, at least they could order and prohibit them, and they could play some simple tactical coordination, which could be used to deal with the soldiers of the Hejaz Kingdom who were worse than them.

Ibn? Saudi Arabia was grateful to Situ Nan and thought that Situ Nan was trustworthy, and with his acquiescence, Situ Nan successively obtained a lot of land. Situ Nan's generosity won the friendship of the Saudi family, and at the same time, he also expanded the area of the oil field controlled by Zì to half the area of the entire Gabul oil field!

Of course, in addition to oil interests, the armed recruits sent by Situ Nan to Saudi Arabia will also gain combat experience, and they not only test and train in the Middle East to carry out "decapitation" operations on the first day, and before the war begins, they will kill the enemy's important leaders in one fell swoop, but also accumulate experience in desert operations.

However, thinking that Saudi Arabia is still a British protectorate in name at present, but the oil fields that have been acquired with great difficulty cannot be developed, and the larger the oil field area obtained, Situ Nan's resentment against the British is increasing every day, so he has a grudge against Ibn ? Saudi Arabia has added another point of support. He wanted to strengthen Saudi Arabia and make it as independent as possible from the British.

Ibn? Saudi Arabia is known as the Desert Eagle, and although he knows Situ Nan's purpose a little, he is still happy to continue to cooperate with Situ Nan. At least the United States is not as odious as Britain in the United States, competing to divide Saudi Arabia into three, playing their balancing act in Europe, and toying the whole of Arabia into applause.

Ibn? Saudi Arabia is dissatisfied with the British early on, and once Saudi Arabia is full-fledged, it will seek Saudi independence. In this regard, he is very confident that Britain's strength in the Middle East is not strong, and it controls all places, and many times it is unified but not governed. Britain's control in the Middle East, which had experienced a world war, weakened, Egypt, Afghanistan and other places began to become independent, and perhaps Saudi Arabia would be next.

Since the signing of the Jakarta Agreement between the United States and the Netherlands, and the acquisition of interests in the Dutch East Indies by Western Petroleum Corporation, Hantec? Brown's mission is done.

"This matter is finally over, and it is not in vain that I came from the United States. I'm going to leave Jakarta tomorrow to look at the company's oil projects in Sumatra. ”

Hengda Brown said to Situ Nan with a relaxed face.

"It's also the right thing to do. The market in Asia is also getting bigger, especially in China's coastal cities and Japan, where large quantities of oil are needed. Over the years, we have made a lot of money following Mobil, but it is not enough, we must increase the development of oil fields in Sumatra, build oil refineries in the local area, and at the same time organize our white spoon transport fleet to transport our white spoon oil to Haiyaojin and other big cities. In five years, the production of the Minas field will reach at least 5 million tons. ”

Situ Nan said to Hengda Brown.

If Western oil companies want to become a global giant, they must actively participate in the competition on a global scale. West of Malacca is the British and Dutch oil companies, and all the way from Europe to Africa is the sphere of influence of the European powers, and the expansion of Western oil companies there is not very smooth, so it is best to choose the East Asian market as the breakthrough point. Situ Nan can also bring some private goods by the way.

"Good. Defeating the Netherlands is just the first step in our white spoon, and then we have to expand vigorously in the Chinese market, I see what you mean. "Handar? Brown nodded. It's not that he didn't think about this, but he didn't think about it as strongly as Situ Nan, and he thought more about the U.S. oil market.

"I have good news for you, but this matter has to be kept secret." Situ Nan smiled mysteriously, took out a land transfer agreement from the safe, and put it in Hantec? Brown in front of him.

"Oh! Oh my god! Did you buy so much? Those deserts don't grow an inch of grass, what's the use of buying them? "Handar? Brown looked at Situ Nan suspiciously. The land marked in the agreement is in the Middle East, and it is all places he does not know. In his mind, the Middle East was a desert, hot, camel-wrapped Arabia, poor and backward, on the edge of the world.

"What if I told you there was what we needed most? Think about what line you are! Situ Nan prompted, "Old man, we're going to send it again this time." ”

"You mean oil?" Hantec? Brown's eyes widened. Although the British and Polish oil companies in Iran have discovered many oil fields, they are far worse than Western oil companies.

"That's right, it's oil! There's more oil there than the United States and Venezuela combined, and I've secretly bought large tracts of land from local chiefs that could be oil fields underneath. ”

Situ Nan nodded and explained, "The sheikh there is ambitious, and he wants to unify Saudi Arabia and then become independent from British rule, so he hit it off with me, so I definitely support him." The only problem is that it is still British territory, and we have to do more work to tear down the barriers of British entry and go directly to the Middle East. ”

"Wow!" Hantec? Brown took a breath of cold air, his face solemn.

More oil than the United States and Venezuela combined, what is that concept?

At a time when Britain had made few achievements in searching for oil in the world, but could only watch the US oil companies flourish, Situ Nan quietly seized a large oil field in British territory, and once the news leaked, Britain's anger can be imagined.

Anger is anger, in fact, there is no need to be afraid of the British entry, and the British entry does not know yet.

Hantec? Brown figured it out, calmed down, and smiled, "I think they'll tear you apart if they knew you stole so much from their house." ”

"That's not whether the British are good or not, they're just bandits who started earlier." Situ Nan pursed his lips, a little resentful that Britain would occupy the pit and not.

"That's right." Hantec? Brown somewhat understood why Stuart had tried to get American oil companies into British territory to engage in oil exploration and exploitation. It turned out that Situ Nan had bought a large area of oil fields from the Middle East, but he was forced by the British policy to enter the country and could not exploit them for the time being.

Hantec? Brown glanced at Situ Nan with some complications, and said in his heart: Although this guy is not a devil, he has the magic power of the devil.

It wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this. It's just that this incident is relatively big, I didn't expect Situ Nan's hand to stretch out so fast and so long.

"It's a pity that the British rejected us, and their white-spoon attitude is resolute and stubborn." Hantec? Brown frowned and said that when Britain entered to mediate the conflict between the United States and the Netherlands, the American representative reaffirmed the open-door policy, and had proposed to Britain to allow American oil companies to enter British territory, but unfortunately it was refused.

"That's why I'm letting you keep it a secret. At present, even if Britain is allowed to enter, it is not a good time for us to rush into the Middle East, so let's digest Sumatra first! ”

Situ Nan looked at Hantec? Brown looked regretful, and couldn't help but turn back to comfort him, even though he was already greeting England in his heart.

"However, this time we can get the Netherlands in, but next time we can't get the UK? Rest assured, no one can snatch our white spoon things. Situ Nan's eyes flashed and he smiled slightly, as if he had thought of a way to deal with the British.

"What? Any great ideas? "Handar? Brown asked with a smile. Over the years, he has watched Situ Nan slowly mature, from a young man with outstanding business talent to an influential economic and political figure in all aspects, and he has become more and more proficient in handling affairs in other fields. Like this East Indies oil conflict, Situ Nan has been involved from beginning to end.

"It's an interesting idea, but it's not about oil." Situ Nan shook his head slightly and said, "In Australia, I am going to invest in mining in Western Australia, are you interested in participating?" ”

Australia is a vast and sparse land with abundant resources, and investing in mining is also a good choice. But Western Australia seems to be a place where birds don't poop, where to invest in mining?

Hantec? Brown has a question mark in his mind? But thinking that Situ Nan can even find oil in the desert, it is not outrageous to open a mine in remote Western Australia!

Thought of this, Hantec? Brown gladly agreed to Situ Nan's invitation and said, "Count me in!" Anyway, you won't lose by following you. ”

Say a thousand, a thousand. Situ Nan registered a gold mountain mining company in Australia with a registered capital of US$3 million. He divided the shares into 4 parts, he put in one, Meihua Company one, Hantec? Half of Brown and the rest of the half for the others.

However, Situ Nan couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so he handed over Jinshan Company to Yao Hongmin and asked him to transfer him from Meihua Company to Jinshan Mining Company.

One of the first things that Gold Mountain Mining was set up was to send a geological team, but the Pilbara region of Western Australia conducted a geological survey. Due to the sparse land area of Western Australia, the Pilbara region is a remote and backward area, which poses a great obstacle to geological exploration.

Under Yao Hongmin's reminder, Situ Nan changed his strategy, and instead of rushing to carry out geological surveys, he contracted a large amount of land in Western Australia, cultivated pastures, established Huajin settlements, and sent China's wealthy labor force to Western Australia.

Western Australia's land is vast and sparse, and the economy is backward, and the Chinese investment has brought advanced production technology to the local area to promote the local economic development, so the government of Western Australia does not discriminate against the Chinese immigrants like the east, but welcomes the Chinese immigrants to settle down, and gives the Chinese immigrants a lot of convenience.
