Volume III: Aftermath 28 Largest Oil Fields - Saudi Arabia Ghawal
After some pleasantries, Situ Nan suddenly said something to let Iben? Saudi Arabia's moving words - "I can make you the king of Saudi Arabia, the only king"
"Sounds good, huh, "Ibn? Saudi Arabia raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "Why?" ”
"Just because I can provide you with this" Situ Nan made a shooting motion, took out a dollar from his pocket, and said confidently, "And this"
Ibn? Saudi Arabia's eyes were slightly over, staring at Situ Nan, waiting for Situ Nan's next words.
"I know that you are now preparing to fight against the Rashid family in the north, and that the Hejaz kingdom in the west is also your next target, all of which require arms, large quantities of arms and other supplies. And I have exactly what you need - a gun or money. ”
Situ Nan looked at Ibn? Saudi Arabia, knowing that the other party was already tempted, continued to add a fire, "Maybe you don't know, I have a very good relationship with American arms dealers, they have a large number of arms, aircraft, warships, artillery, all kinds of things, I don't know if you are interested?" ”。
"Oh? Mr. William, you said it beautifully. Don't know how much you can offer? "Ibn? Saudi asked.
"A division." Situ Nan stretched out a finger.
"A division?" Ibn? The Saudis were a little disappointed, although 10,000 guns in one division were already a lot, but it was not enough to satisfy Ibn ? Saudi ambitions. He planned to arm 100,000 troops to unify Saudi Arabia.
Looking at Ibn who was slightly disappointed? Saudi Arabia, Situ Nan smiled in his heart and continued: "The equipment of an American division, this is the first batch. If the cooperation is pleasant, next time it will be 5 divisions. ”
"Is that true?" Ibn? Saudi leaned forward, almost standing up, staring at Situ Nan's face.
Ibn? Saudi Arabia knows that an American division generally has nearly 20,000 men, equipped with nearly 20,000 guns, hundreds of machine guns, and hundreds of cannons. Six U.S. divisions were equipped enough for the Kingdom of Najd to arm more than 100,000 well-equipped troops to sweep across the Arabian Peninsula and unify Saudi Arabia.
Looking at Situ Nan with a smile and nodded, he didn't look good, Iben? Saudi Arabia realizes that the opportunity to unify Saudi Arabia may lie in this mysterious young man in front of him.
But there is no free lunch in the world, and pie will not fall from the sky to your head, especially when dealing with these foreigners, they calculate every penny very clearly, and almost all the assistance is conditional. This, Ibn? The Saudis have long experienced this in cooperation with the British.
What does this seemingly generous American businessman want in front of him? Ibn? Saudi thought to himself.
He tried to calm his excitement and calmly asked, "These should all be conditional, right?" William, what do you want? ”
"Money," Situ Nan replied decisively.
"Ahem—"
Ibn? Saudi Arabia paused, he calculated in his heart, an American M1903 rifle costs about 10 dollars, equipping an American division but the cost of a rifle costs 200,000 dollars, if you add more expensive machine guns and cannons, as well as ammunition, equipment maintenance, etc., the equipment of 6 American divisions will cost millions of dollars?
God, don't say six, but an American division equips Ibn? Saudi Arabia has no money to buy it.
Ibn? Saudi Arabia swallowed hard and said: "Our funds are not very rich, can we take credit first, even if it is partial"
Ibn? Saudi Arabia looked at Situ Nan with a blank eye, which was too important to his career at this time. He looked at Situ Nan's calm and relaxed appearance, thinking that the other party should have a follow-up.
"Your Majesty, I know that you are short of money, so I don't plan to let you pay this money, as long as you promise me a small condition, I will give you an American division equipment, and the rest can also be credited to you." Situ Nan smiled slightly and said. Well, the fox's tail is finally revealed.
"On what terms?" Ibn? Saudi calmed down and asked.
"Quite simply, I need a piece of land. A desert to be exact, you lease it to me, 10 Tunan finished speaking, looking at Ibn? Saudi Arabia, hold your breath. Obediently, whether the world's largest oil field, the Ghawar oil field, can get its hands on it depends on this.
"Where is the land?" Ibn? Saudi asked.
"On the west coast of the Persian Gulf, 500 kilometers east of Riyadh, the Ghawar Desert."
Ibn? Saudi Arabia thought about it and had no impression of the place Situ Nan said, as Situ Nan said, it was just a desert.
It is undoubtedly very cost-effective to exchange a desert for arms. But the scheming Ibn? The Saudis don't think much. He felt that this matter was not simple, could it be that there was really gold hidden under those deserts? This crazy young man has already bought thousands of hectares of land in Kuwait, and will continue to buy land in Saudi Arabia?
Ibn? Saudi thought silently in his heart.
"May you sue me, why is it that fascinates you so much? Mr. William is an important question, and I hope you will sue me. "Ibn? Saudi Arabia looked at Situ Nan sincerely.
"This is a trade secret, no comment." Situ Nan smiled faintly, but remembered Ibn? The life of Saud, knowing that even without his own help, Ibn? Saudi Arabia was united for a few years, and then Saudi Arabia became independent from the British.
Since independence, Saudi Arabia has maintained close relations with the United States, and most of Saudi Arabia's oil fields have fallen into the hands of American oil companies.
Meat, always falling in their own bowls, rather than having a gap between the two sides in the future, why not be honest with each other now?
Thinking of this, Situ Nan changed his mind and said solemnly: "It's oil"
"2000 oil" Ibn? Saudi Arabia stood up in surprise, staring at Situ Nan with fiery eyes, until he felt that he was a little out of shape, and then slowly sat down.
"Your Majesty, I am not to be honest, I am an oil merchant. Now, on behalf of the American Occidental Petroleum Company, I would like to offer you cooperation in the hope that you will grant us the right to explore oil in Saudi Arabia, and we will do our best to help you unify Saudi Arabia. Situ Nan looked at Ibn intently? Saudi.
It turned out that it was for the sake of oil, so why was it willing to spend such a large amount of money? Now there is a mysterious and powerful American oil company, and they have all taken a fancy to the sweetness of Saudi Arabia.
Ibn? Saudi Arabia thought to himself, and couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Is there really oil here?" ”
This question is too important. Although the Saud family had a secret agreement with the British to sell the oil exploration rights in the territory to the British. But the British have invested countless times in the past few years, but they have never seen a single oil field come out.
This makes Ibn ? Saudi Arabia is both happy and sad. In any case, if Saudi Arabia is really rich in oil, the future industrial development of the country will be much smoother.
"This, it's hard to say, we won't know the results until geological exploration. However, I think there is, and I hope there is. Think of it as a gamble to win a million profits, and there is nothing to lose it. ”
Situ Nan smiled faintly, as if millions of dollars were not worth mentioning in his heart.
Such an attitude makes Ibn ? Saudi Arabia's enthusiasm cooled slightly, but he still decided to agree to Situnan's conditions.
Now the rule of the House of Saud is not secure, the tribes of all sizes are in their own way, and foreigners can support the House of Saud as well as other families, so what about Ibn? As far as Saudi Arabia is concerned, the most important thing at present is to unify the state power, let the country and the nation become independent first, and then it will be possible to bargain with foreign countries in the future.
"Mr. William, your honesty is touching. I can agree to your terms and lease that land to you, but you will provide me with the equipment of six American divisions. ”
Ibn? Saudi Arabia said as if he was in pain.
"No, didn't you say that the piece of land would be replaced with an American division equipment? Unless you exchange the oil exploration rights of the whole of Saudi Arabia, it is not worth the equipment of 6 American divisions. Situ Nan shook his head, bargaining on the surface, calculating, but he was overjoyed in his heart-
After some bargaining, Situ Nan obtained the oil exploration rights of a 100,000-hectare piece of land 500 kilometers east of Riyadh at the cost of two American divisions; At the same time, it also gave the Saud family 4 American divisions on credit. If oil fields are discovered in the area, the equipment of the four American divisions will automatically go to the Saudi family.
"Mr. William, I like to see as much equipment as possible." Ibn? Saudi Arabia did not forget to remind.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise you'll get the first batch of American equipment within a month." Situ Nan patted his chest and reassured.
After getting a large field of oil, the satisfied Situ Nan no longer planned to make Ibn on ammunition? Saudi money too. In order to win the friendship of the Saud family, he later gave the other party a large amount of ammunition.
After signing the agreement, Ibn ? Saudis copied the uninked agreement and left the William satisfied.
Looking at Ibn? The figure of the Saudi group disappeared into the night sky, and Situ Nan turned his head and couldn't help laughing. His treacherous scheme began to succeed.
Thinking that the world's largest, with reserves of more than 10 billion tons and accounting for 30% of the total oil in the Persian Gulf, the Ghawar oil field, is about to fall into his hands, can Situ Nanyan not be excited?
Although this super cornucopia cannot be used for himself, Situ Nan believes that as long as he wants to get it, he will always get it.
Saudi Arabia's Ghawar oil field, Kuwait's Great Hamburgan oil field, the United States' East Texas oil field, Venezuela's Bolivarian oil field on the shores of Lake Maracaibo, Indonesia's Minas oil field, Egypt and other parts of the Persian Gulf coast, more than one-third of the world's large onshore oil fields are owned by Situnan
This is really an outrageous fact, although at present those are barren lands, and the oil is hidden deep underground, only Situ Nan knows, but this has reached the point of rebellion.
The Middle East is the last and most important link in Situ Nan's oil layout in the world, and it is also the most difficult link.
Because Situ Nan's influence in the Middle East is very weak now, he has not dared to speak out. The Saudi agreement was also signed privately.
For the sake of oil, vigorously support Ibn? The Saudis are worth it. Situ Nan, who is well versed in history, knows about Ibn? Saudi Arabia is a potential stock, and not only will it be firmly in control of the Saudi regime for decades to come, but it will also maintain a pro-American stance, so the investment is guaranteed.
Whether it's Ibn? Both the Sauds and Stuart deliberately ignored the British, Ibn ? Saudi Arabia wants to use the United States to control Britain, and secretly made up a bridge of "one woman marrying two husbands", and Situ Nan is not very worried about the British, believing that under the open-door policy, Western oil companies will definitely gain a firm foothold in the Middle East.
In fact, the Ghawar oil field is far bigger than the world can imagine, and Situ Nan has only acquired 100,000 hectares of exploration rights for only one-third. In order to compete for this oil field, there will be a bloody storm in the future.
