Expedition to Europe

Sometimes being simple and rough is the best way to solve a problem.

The British were treated roughly on their own territory, so of course they would not let it go, so the lawsuit was soon brought to Yang Deshan.

Yang Deshan's response was simple. The Mobil oil field in ****** was attacked, and there was enough intelligence to show that the gangsters who took the goods fled to Wajin. The Brotherhood Alliance must protect its own interests, so Yang Deshan ordered the tank troops to wipe out the gang of gangsters with the momentum of Mount Tai.

At this point, it didn't matter whether Yang Deshan's reason was true or not. The key was that the British had no way to verify it. If the British issued a joint investigation notice to the French, it would definitely be thrown into the shredder, and the French would not pay attention to these trivial matters.

The important thing is why the Brotherhood Alliance has a tank unit, which is a very serious problem.

The role of tanks has been proven in the world war. After the war, the whole world was studying the new weapon of tanks. To be honest, it was the British who created the concept of tanks, so the British always thought that their tank research room was at the forefront of the world, but in Wajin, a British officer witnessed the tank unit of the Brotherhood Alliance with his own eyes, which seemed to be no less than the British armored unit.

Even if the British officers' beautification is excluded, the tanks of the Brotherhood Alliance should be more advanced than those of the British.

This is really unacceptable.

Just looking at the appearance, you can see that the Brotherhood Alliance is equipped with the "Hunter" from Lan Fang. This type of tank is not a secret, and the British certainly know it, but the British are not very clear about the specific parameters. Just like the British concealed their progress in tank research from Lan Fang and France, Lan Fang and France also set a trade embargo on Britain.

Of course, this "embargo" is limited to military weapons. The British once wanted to pay a high price to buy a batch of tanks to study Lan Fang's tank progress, but this request was ruthlessly rejected by Lan Fang, and the reason for the rejection made the British angry with nowhere to vent.

Lan Fang claimed that the current tank orders have been arranged until 1925. If the British want to buy tanks, please pay a part of the deposit first, and then queue up.

Five years!

Who knows what the tank will be like in five years. By then, Lan Fang may have launched an updated model, and it will be useless to study the "Hunter".

The tanks equipped by the Brotherhood Alliance gave the British an opportunity to study the progress of Lan Fang's tanks.

After knowing that the Brotherhood Alliance was equipped with the Hunter, the British immediately asked Yang Deshan to provide the British with five tanks for related research.

Yang Deshan did not refuse this request. In order not to suffer a loss, Yang Deshan put forward a condition to the British, asking for ten tanks equipped by the British troops to strengthen their own strength.

The British also did not refuse this request.

But in this back and forth, the British troops that had landed in Libya stopped mobilizing, and the mobilization that had already begun was restored to its original state. Because of this short-term cooperation, Libya, which was originally tense, actually calmed down again, which was also a pleasant surprise.

Of course, the joy was obviously greater on the Brotherhood Alliance side. Rommel was quite decisive in his actions. After arriving at Wajin, Rommel keenly discovered that Wajin was indeed a good place.

As a small border town spanning the border with Libya, Wajin is located on a major transportation route. In the entire border with Libya, Wajin is the only oasis within hundreds of square kilometers nearby, which has brought a certain degree of prosperity to Wajin. Moreover, the desert around Wajin is not a sand dune, but an environment similar to the Gobi Desert. This environment is very conducive to the deployment of armored forces. Whether it is training or combat, there is the most favorable space for tanks to play.

Since the conditions are so good, Rommel immediately wants to upgrade the temporary base to a permanent base.

If you want to build a permanent base, the population in Wajin town is a big problem.

Although the town of Wajin is not big, it also has a population of nearly 10,000. These people are of complex composition, including ****** people and Libya people, as well as some Algerians. Among them, there must be a large number of British and French spies. If you want to build a permanent base here, you must first get rid of the people here.

Regardless of any era, demolition is a very difficult matter. If the residents of Wajin are all supporters of the Brotherhood Alliance, then this problem can be solved satisfactorily with just one order. However, the problem is that the Brotherhood Alliance has not yet covered this place, and the residents here still have a serious resistance to the Brotherhood Alliance. It is definitely not easy to carry out demolition at this time.

Rommel is still very "fox"-like. After knowing that the residents of Wajin town did not cooperate, Rommel did not waste words and directly got a batch of tweeters from Djerba Island. He played the military regulations of the Brotherhood Alliance outside the town all day long. At the same time, he ordered the troops to train in batches, and live ammunition was added to the training program.

Playing live ammunition next to the residential area, Rommel is really shameless.

However, the effect is still good. Within a week, nearly half of the residents finally agreed to move out of Wajin. For these people, Rommel did not treat them badly. One thousand francs per family was enough for them to settle down in Liabi or anywhere else in ******.

The remaining Wajin residents who were still unwilling to leave, except for some who really couldn't leave their hometown, the rest had other purposes.

One night, a group of horse bandits raided the small town of Wajin. Dozens of houses were burned down, and some residents' property was robbed. Fortunately, these horse bandits were relatively restrained and did not hurt anyone. However, the horse bandits left a message that they would come again in a few days.

What was more strange was that although the horse bandits made a lot of noise, the military camp next to the town did not react at all. The soldiers of the Brotherhood Alliance even stood on the sentry post, watching the horse bandits galloping on their horses, without even raising their guns to aim.

At this point, everyone knew the origin of this group of horse bandits. The residents knew very well that when the horse bandits came next time, they would definitely not be so kind, and those soldiers would definitely stand idly by.

So in just two days, the remaining Wajin residents all moved out of Wajin, and the entire Wajin became an empty city.

On the third day, it was not the horse bandits who came, but the second batch of tank troops.

Tian Yilang's efficiency was quite good. As soon as the second batch of tanks arrived in Wajin, Tian Yilang immediately began to organize training and sent some of them to Wajin to strengthen Rommel's power. When this batch of tanks arrived, Rommel's first order was to send five tanks to demolish the previous residential area and flatten all the houses. Then Rommel would build a military base with complete facilities here.

It is really simple to demolish a house with a tank. No ropes or explosives are needed. The tank just needs to increase the horsepower and hit the house. The houses in Wajin are not made of bricks and wood, let alone reinforced concrete. Most of the adobe houses, only a small part of them use stones to reinforce the foundation. These stones are also collected and prepared as materials for building a military base in the future.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @book/bar!

Using tanks to push a house, if the people from the Lanfang military logistics department were present, they would definitely scold Rommel for being a prodigal, but they were destined to have no chance. After these tanks completed the demolition task, they were immediately sent to Tripoli for an agreed exchange with the British.

There are really no honest guys who can get ahead. When Yang Deshan started negotiating with the British, he had already made plans to steal and replace the pillars. The British would definitely not get the "Hunter". Having a few Renault FT-17s was Yang Deshan's biggest concession.

The British were certainly not easy to fool, so when exchanging, Yang Deshan and the British representative Henry Saxton were a little dumbfounded. Yang Deshan took out the Renault FT-17, and Henry Saxton took out the "Big Ranger".

The "Big Ranger" is the first generation of British tanks, which was put into service earlier than the Renault FT-17. These ten tanks are already antiques, the kind that should be displayed in museums. It's really a pity that the British had the face to use them to make up the numbers.

Well, in terms of shamelessness, the British and the Lanfangs are about the same.

Since they are the same, Yang Deshan and Henry Saxton can't turn against each other in person, so they still complete the deal according to the prior agreement.

However, the result of this deal is very sad. The five FT-17s were driven directly to the training ground and served as targets for British tankers. And the "Big Nomad" that the British took out, only four of them could drive to Wajin, and the remaining six broke down halfway, and they were the kind that could not be repaired.

After the deal was done to this extent, it is conceivable how devastated Yang Deshan and Henry Saxton were. It is estimated that greetings to each other's ancestors and female family members are indispensable.

In early April, the Gharyan Oilfield finally began to produce oil in batches. A total of eleven derricks in the first phase of the project were completed, and the daily crude oil production exceeded 150,000 barrels. Because the oil quality is good, it has been enthusiastically sought after by major oil companies since it was launched on the market.

The British have no idea of ​​selling oil. They must first meet their own needs before considering selling it abroad.

Since it was internal digestion, the price could not go up, which caused dissatisfaction among the shareholders of Gharyan Oil Development Company, including Yang Deshan.

Yang Deshan owned about one-tenth of the shares of Gharyan Oil Development Company, which was a considerable proportion. Among the private shares, Yang Deshan had the highest proportion. Therefore, seeing that the price of crude oil could not go up, Yang Deshan was really anxious.

For such things, it is useless to be anxious. The main thing is to coordinate the relationship. As long as the shareholders can reach a consensus, the price is not a problem.

So one day in mid-April, the horse bandits who once ravaged the Mobil Oil Field and Wajin appeared again.
