After the outbreak of the Russo-German War, Russia's strength was greatly damaged and its control over Persia declined. Britain took the opportunity to expand. Strictly speaking, Swift was right. Tehran was indeed British territory.

This is not something that cannot be said, but saying it in front of Gundam is not only disrespectful to Gundam, it is also a serious offense to Adan Company.

Considering the relationship between Gouda and Rock, Swift did not seem to realize that what he just said had risen to the level of offending southern Africa.

"With a person like you as the general manager, no wonder the British and American companies are deteriorating." Godard was direct, speaking too tactfully for fear that Swift would not understand.

Swift's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He didn't expect Godard to be so direct. Where was the gentlemanly demeanor he promised?

Anglo-American Petroleum is not good enough for Adan, but Swift himself is getting rain and wind in Tehran. He has never been ridiculed in public like this before.

"You seem to have forgotten how Anglo-American oil was driven out of the southern coast of the Persian Gulf. Now you want to provoke me. Are you challenging the Adan Company? Or are you saying that your life in Tehran is too boring and you want to have some fun?" Godard sneered.

, if Swift really thinks so, Gundam can satisfy him.

The panic in Swift's eyes flashed away. If Adan Company expands its scale in Persia, Anglo-American Petroleum will really be unable to withstand it.

If it were purely commercial competition, Anglo-American Petroleum could still resist. After all, Anglo-American Petroleum had accumulated some capital in Persia over the years.

The key is that if Adan Company expands its scale in Persia, then Najd Company will definitely follow it, coupled with its lingering protective umbrella.

Competition among oil companies exists only in commercial situations.

Mercenaries are war hyenas who can do anything. Swift might just die on the street one day, so why compete?

"I can't tell you. I'll call Mr. Henry later and ask if this is what he means." Godard was unreasonable. Henry, the general manager of Anglo-American Petroleum, went to Algiers and was seeking help.

Exploitation rights for oil fields in North Africa.

It's sad to say that the biggest rival of Anglo-American oil companies in the North African oil fields is not Adam Company or Rockefeller, but Royal Shell, which is also a British oil company.

Royal Shell has also been having a hard time in recent years. Their oil fields are mainly in Romania and are now under the control of the Axis powers. They are also in urgent need of blood transfusions from the North African oil fields.

"Mr. Gouda, that's not what Mr. Swift meant. You misunderstood." British Ambassador to Persia Kyle took the initiative to come to Swift's rescue.

"It doesn't matter, I forgive his reckless behavior. After all, hyenas will be nervous when lions come to their territory." Gundam chased and fought fiercely. This description is too appropriate. Swift was indeed nervous and overreacted.

"As long as there are enough hyenas, they can kill a lion." Swift was forced into a corner, but his timidity leaked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Okay Harry, you're drunk." Kyle dragged Swift away.

Now that he is finally clean, Pahlavi can finally have a good chat with Gundam.

Pahlavi said that he wanted to talk to Gundam about Khuzestan, which was not all a matter of coping. He really wanted to change the current situation in Khuzestan, such as imitating the cooperation model between Adan Company and the Najd royal family and setting up a new company to jointly develop Khuzestan.

Oil and gas resources.

"Your Majesty, do you want to overthrow the agreement we signed with His Majesty Lisa Khan?" Gundam asked Pahlavi a problem. When Adan Company signed an agreement with the Persian Empire, the person who signed the agreement on behalf of the Persian Empire was the correct person.

It's Lisa Khan.

It was precisely because of the signing of the agreement that Lisa Khan received the support of Adan Company and successfully overthrew the Qajar dynasty.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just want to increase the intensity of developing Khuzestan's oil. After all, this is also a good thing for Adan Company." Pahlavi needed to get back some of the benefits and appease the Persian dignitaries.

Secure your position.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, maintaining the status quo is more in line with the interests of Adan Company." Godard said sternly, too high oil production is not a good thing. What determines the price of oil is not the value of the oil itself, but the relationship between supply and demand.

"If you are willing, I guarantee that Adan Company will gain the friendship of the Persian Empire, eternal friendship." Pahlavi added.

"Your Majesty, this is not an issue we should talk about." Gundam tried to play hard to get, but the conditions offered by Pahlavi were good, but not enough.

While Pahlavi and Gouda were testing each other, Kyle and Swift had an argument in the car returning to the British Embassy.

"Damn Southern Africans, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!" Swift was furious. He still felt very embarrassed when he recalled the scene in the palace just now.

Swift was also careless. He didn't expect Gundam's counterattack to be so fierce. He was at a loss for a while and completely lost his grace.

Looking back now, Swift is ashamed. Not only has his personal honor been ruined, but he has also implicated Anglo-American Petroleum. When Goddam scolded Swift, he did so in front of everyone.

"I advise you not to do stupid things. Gao is the general manager of Adan Company. If he has an accident in Tehran, then all of us will suffer revenge from the Southern Africans." Kyle reminded Swift to calm down, and Southern Africa will retaliate.

Everyone knows that a little impatience can ruin a big plan.

"I will definitely do it flawlessly and leave no evidence behind." Swift is still confident in this aspect. Anglo-American Petroleum is not a serious businessman and is familiar with this kind of thing.

"So I said, we will all be unlucky. I don't think southern Africans are in the mood to slowly investigate the truth of the matter." Before becoming the British ambassador to Persia, Kyle worked in the British Intelligence Service and knew very well what was going on in southern Africa.

Style.

There is no need to provide evidence for this kind of thing, just kill all the suspects. Although this may be suspected of indiscriminate killing, it can form an effective deterrent. If anyone wants to take risks in the future, they must think twice before doing so.

"We lost Port Elizabeth, we lost Khuzestan, now we have to lose the whole of Persia?" Swift sneered, this is all a good thing done by you officials.

"The situation is not that serious. Lord Nyasaland has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Winston. They will meet in Tehran later and they will definitely discuss this issue." Kyle knew that Winston came to Tehran this time.

For the purpose, the battle plan for next year is not actually important. What is important is to determine the attitude of the southern Africans and the Russians.

Southern Africa has now shown its ability to replace the British Empire, which makes Winston extremely nervous. He does not want to become a sinner of the British Empire.

Russia is also very dangerous to Britain. In the past, Russia was abandoned and unknown outside mainstream society. Through the war with Germany, the world had a clearer understanding of the Russians.

The Germans are scary, but the Russians are even more scary. Russia is not only full of blood, but also has a very different political system from the UK. Compared with the former, the latter makes Winston feel more anxious.

Winston hopes to increase his understanding of the bearded man through the Tehran meeting.

Winston currently knows almost nothing about beards.

"You shouldn't have any expectations for that person. If it weren't for someone to be in contact, Southern Africa would not have Port Elizabeth at all." Swift was still heartbroken when mentioning this incident.

No one thought there was oil hidden under the desert in Port Elizabeth.

What's more, I didn't expect that the oil production in Port Elizabeth has not been exhausted for decades, but has become more and more abundant, which is simply endless.

If the Elizabeth oil field is under the control of Anglo-American oil

The picture was so beautiful that Swift couldn't even imagine it.

So not only Anglo-American Petroleum, but also Royal Shell also hate Winston. It is said that Royal Shell's senior executives get drunk and scold the Prime Minister, which has become a fixed part of high-level banquets.

"It makes no sense to say any of this now. I just want to tell you, don't provoke southern Africans. Even if you don't do anything, don't intensify the conflict." Kyle didn't want to discuss this issue with Swift.

British officials are indeed responsible for this issue, but British businessmen are also responsible.

The opportunity was fair to both Rock and the British businessmen at first. As a result, Rock bought Port Elizabeth at a very low price, and the British businessmen showed no interest at all.

When Adan Company found oil in Port Elizabeth, Royal Shell woke up from its dream. Unfortunately, it had lost the opportunity to obtain Port Elizabeth.

As for Anglo-American Petroleum

When Rock purchased Port Elizabeth, Anglo American Petroleum had not yet been established.

Among the leaders of the four countries, Bearded Man was the first to arrive in Tehran. He directly entered the Russian Embassy in Persia. On the way from the airport to the Russian Embassy, ​​an accident happened.

A Polish refugee threw a bomb at a bearded car as it passed by.

The bomb accurately hit Big Beard's car, but Big Beard himself was not injured, and even the vehicle was not seriously damaged.

After inspection, we learned that the bombs thrown by the refugees were produced by Persian arsenals.

Because the technology was not up to standard, the bomb was not very powerful and did not form many fragments after the explosion. Instead, it exploded directly in half, creating a false alarm.

The greatest significance of this incident is that it serves as a reminder to the leaders of various countries who are about to arrive in Tehran.

"Fortunately, the assassins did not use grenades produced in southern Africa, otherwise we could have gone directly to attend someone's funeral." Yang Smuts didn't like beards and was a little gloating.

"The Russians shot 20,000 Poles in the Katyn Forest and slaughtered all the elites of the entire Polish country. The Poles are so pitiful." Martin's words contained pity for the Poles.

Roque did not participate in the discussion. The Poles are indeed pitiful, but they deserve it. This country is a standard little expert in seeking death.

Rock and Jan Smuts, Martin were on the plane heading to Tehran.

Big Beard, Winston, and Roosevelt had already arrived in Tehran, and Rock was the last to leave.

Originally, Rock wanted to go to North Africa and Cyprus, but he gave up under Martin's firm persuasion because North Africa and Cyprus were not safe enough now.

Tehran is actually not safe either, so Roque brought a larger entourage this time, with more than 800 Secret Service security personnel alone.

"His Majesty Pahlavi hopes to re-discuss the issue of Khuzestan with you. I am very curious, is there really that much oil underground in Khuzestan?" Gavin, as Roque's secretary, accompanied Roque on his visit to Tehran. This is what he learned.

good chance.

"It really does!" Martin knew the situation very well. Khuzestan was an area designated by someone, so there was no mistake.

Rock's ability to "turn stone into gold" is well known to everyone. From Elizabeth to Khuzestan, and then from the Pilbara to the Iron Square, South Africa has been able to enjoy today's prosperous world, and Rock has contributed most to it.

"The oil in Khuzestan is not important. What matters is the determination of His Majesty Pahlavi." Roque has now broken away from the level of one city and one pool and is in control of the overall situation.

"Then do you want to meet him?" Gavin tried hard to take notes. This is what old guys are bad about. They are becoming more and more cautious and careful, and they are not straightforward at all.

"There is definitely a chance." Roque did not refuse to meet Pahlavi. Persia is still very important to the oil security of southern Africa.

Southern Africa's oil mainly relies on Port Elizabeth, and Persia's location is right at the outlet of the Persian Gulf. If Pahlavi deliberately caused trouble for Southern Africa, it would be impossible to prevent it.

Apart from anything else, if a certain Persian merchant ship accidentally drops something when passing through the exit of the Persian Gulf, it will be enough to drink up a weakly protected oil tanker.

So it doesn't matter if you meet him, at least you need to give Pahlavi a reassurance and give him some hope.

The special plane was very fast, refueled once when passing through Addis Ababa, and then flew directly to Tehran.

Pahlavi prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Roque at the airport. Winston was also present, but neither the bearded man nor Roosevelt came.

It is understandable that Roosevelt was not in good health and did not come to pick up Rock. Is the bearded man really so afraid of death if he lives in seclusion?

"Locke, my old friend, you look almost the same as you did forty years ago. God is so unfair." Winston looked at Rock and shook his head with a bitter smile. Rock was still tall and tall. Winston

He has transformed from the handsome young man into a bald and short fat man.

"You don't look good. You should take care of yourself." Rock was worried about Winston's health.

Winston has been in poor health in the past few years. He almost fell ill some time ago. The doctor told Winston to quit smoking and drinking. Winston refused directly. In his words: If you don't smoke or drink, then you will live.

What’s the point?

"This is my last time as the British Prime Minister. After the war is over, I will definitely retire. Unfortunately, this time I can't go to Southern Africa to be the governor-general." Winston was even more tired.

After the end of the last world war, the years when Winston served as governor-general in southern Africa were his happiest days, and Winston will always remember them.

Happy days are always short-lived. Winston said this because he also wanted to bring back Roark's beautiful memories.

He succeeded.
