Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

It sounds like a fantasy, but Kuwait, with a total area of ​​only 17,800 square kilometers, has total oil reserves that account for one-tenth of the world's total oil reserves.

The fact is that in this tiny land on the coast of the Persian Gulf, every grain of sand seems to contain oil, which is inexhaustible.

But in this era, Kuwait is really just sand except for sand, and no one knows that Kuwait contains rich oil fields underground.

Without Rock's involvement, Kuwait's oil would not have been discovered until 1938. This time, space, and time point would have definitely been greatly advanced.

In fact, just last year, the first oil field in the Middle East was discovered in Iran. However, compared with Romania and Baku, Iran's oil fields have not attracted the attention of the United Kingdom, France and other countries, so Rock was able to pay just 10,000 pounds.

Price to buy Kuwait.

Yes, with only ten thousand pounds and a total area of ​​17,800 square kilometers, Kuwait will become the Umbrella Company's training base in the Middle East.

So Sidney Milner didn't understand why Rock did this.

"What can I do? London has always been opposed to Umbrella Company's base in Nepal. Last year, there were nearly 10,000 people receiving training at Umbrella Company's base in Nepal. This year, there are only more than 3,000 left. London only recruits 18

A battalion of Gurkha mercenaries has been eagerly awaited by countless Nepali youths, but London refuses to expand its scale." Roque is also full of complaints. London just occupies a pit and has nothing to do. He refuses to increase the number of conscripts, nor does he

Let Southern Africa expand its recruitment, so Rock is really not making excuses. Umbrella Company does indeed need a new training base.

Now it seems that Kuwait is the best choice.

"It's up to you, you have more money than you can spend -" Sidney Milner did not realize how much loss Rock's behavior would bring to the British Empire.

In fact, it was not much. Britain had never paid much attention to Kuwait. In 1899, Britain forced Kuwait to sign the Anglo-Kuwait Secret Agreement, and Britain became the suzerainty of Kuwait.

In 1938, oil was discovered in Kuwait.

In 1939, Kuwait officially became a British protectorate.

Then in 1961, Kuwait declared independence.

So even though oil was discovered in Kuwait, Britain still didn't pay much attention to Kuwait. Just like the current Egyptian governor, Roque only offered a tentative price of 10,000 pounds, and the Egyptian governor couldn't wait to sell Kuwait to Roque.

It's like if you agree a little later, Rock will regret it.

"Haha, do you want to participate in a share? Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you -" Rock took the initiative to give money to Sidney Milner, just to see if Sidney Milner could seize the opportunity.

"Ha, I'm not as rich as you. In my opinion, even a thousand pounds is too expensive, let alone ten thousand pounds." Sidney Milner sneered.

"Then you won't regret it in the future!" Rock laughed. This is the advantage of being reborn.

"Unless I regret that I asked you for too little money——" Sidney Milner also laughed. It was amazing. Both Sidney Milner and Rock felt that they had taken a big advantage.

Roark paid for Kuwait, and Sidney Milner acted as a matchmaker, which must have been beneficial, and it was the buyer eating the seller after eating.

Looking back, Rock immediately ordered the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to go to Kuwait. The person in charge of leading David was one of the veterans of the Umbrella Company.

David was previously the head of the Umbrella Company's training base in Nepal. After receiving Rock's order, David led a thousand Gurkha mercenaries to Kuwait, accompanied by Carl, the head of the newly established Southern African Oil Company.

Fox.

Unlike David, Carl Fox is a standard Englishman.

"David, does Kuwait really have oil?" Carl Fox still couldn't believe that Kuwait had oil until he got on the ship.

"Since the Lord said that Kuwait has oil, then there must be oil in Kuwait. Don't doubt this. I dare to guarantee with my life that the oil reserves underground in Kuwait will definitely scare people to death." David is a loyal believer in Rock.

In Wei's mind, it is more important than the position of God.

Roque had already formed the Southern African Oil Company before buying Kuwait.

Previously, Southern Africa Oil Company's main business was to purchase oil from Romania and Baku and then send it back to Southern Africa. Now Southern Africa Oil Company has finally reached the stage of independent exploration.

There were four drilling teams with a total of more than 200 people who followed Carl Fox to Kuwait. Their mission was to search for oil in Kuwait, mainly in the border areas with Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

This statement is not accurate enough, because there is no concept of Saudi Arabia and Iraq yet. Saudi Arabia and Iraq are both part of the Ottoman Empire. It was not until the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire during World War I that the two countries Saudi Arabia and Iraq emerged.

The entire Middle East now has almost no sense of existence within the Ottoman Empire. After all, no one is interested in sand. Saudi oil was not discovered until 1933. Before that, Saudi Arabia even wanted to take the initiative to defect to the United Kingdom and become a British colony.

, but was ruthlessly rejected by the British government.

Saudi Arabia, without oil, is not even qualified to become a British colony.

"If this is the case, then we have to be careful. I heard that the Arab people are tough, so you have to arrange more guards for us and ensure the supply of logistical supplies - God, a place where there is not even water or bread.

, I really don’t know why your Lordship firmly believes that there is oil in Kuwait.” Although Carl Fox was reluctant, he still had to resolutely carry out Rock’s order.

Don't look at countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait that are extremely rich in the 21st century.

In fact, before oil was discovered, both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were economically very backward.

It is hard to imagine that already in the 20th century, Saudi tribal armed forces still use simple primitive weapons such as spears and leather shields.

This time going to Kuwait, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company were not only equipped with general-purpose machine guns, but also equipped with 40mm grenade launchers and 80mm mortars. If the Kuwaiti natives really dare to resist, then they will face new weapons

The combination of weapons strangles.

"There is no water and bread, but it does not mean there is no oil. How many people are there in Kuwait now? Eight thousand? Or ten thousand? It doesn't matter. My task is to drive away all the indigenous people in Kuwait. Your task is to find Kuwait's oil.

As for water and bread, you don’t have to worry about it. As long as you can find oil, everything will be there.” David showed no sense of urgency at all. The main city in Kuwait only has one port, Kuwait City, and the total population of Kuwait City is now less than 3,000. He said

A city can be considered a promotion, and at most it is a town. David brought a thousand Gurkha mercenaries, and it was really easy to clear out these natives.

Of course, planning is one thing, but when it comes to actual implementation, it's another thing.

When David and Carl Fox arrived in Kuwait City, both David and Carl Fox were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Talking about the port is really too flattering to the current Kuwait City.

Even from the perspective of David and Carl Fox, today's Kuwait City is just a slightly larger fishing village. David even bet with Carl Fox that there may be no buildings with more than two floors in the entire Kuwait City.

, the entire Kuwait City seemed to David to be a not too big slum.

Limited to the natural conditions of the Middle East, almost all the buildings in Kuwait City of this era are sand-colored, which can be perfectly integrated with the desert outside the city.

The so-called port only has a rotten wooden pier. Near the pier, there are some local indigenous people wandering around or taking a rest out of boredom. Many of the indigenous people don't even have clothes.

David believes that not wearing clothes is definitely not because of the heat, but because there is really nothing.

The intensity of the sunshine in the Middle East can be imagined. It was David's first time in Kuwait, but he felt like he was back in southern Africa, because the skin color of the indigenous people here is very dark, almost not much different from the indigenous people in southern Africa.

There were also local officials waiting on the dock, one was the tax officer and the other was the sheriff.

Seeing David and Carl Fox disembarking from the boat, the tax collector, whose uniform was also in tatters, rushed towards them as if he were seeing a long-lost relative.

"Great, you are finally here. I thought I would stay in this damn place for the rest of my life, and now someone has finally come to replace me -" The bearded Sheriff cried and laughed, and David instantly

You can feel how bitter it was for the bearded man to be here before.

"Hahahaha - welcome to hell -" the Sheriff was laughing, but it could be heard that the Sheriff was really enduring Kuwait City to the extreme.

"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. Now you can go to the merchant ship to rest, or take a hot bath -" David knew that Kuwait City was short of water, and he knew it just by looking at the looks of the Sheriff and the Tax Collector.

After David got off the boat, the tax officer gave David a fierce hug, which made David almost breathless and dizzy as if he had been poisoned.

In fact, the body odor of white people is really strong, and the sheriff and the tax collector probably haven't taken a shower for a long time, so the odor on their bodies is a bit strong, which is really hard to put into words.

"Hehehe, hot bath, I haven't had a bath in half a year -" the tax officer couldn't wait.

"Let's take this boat and leave this damned place. Don't say anything. I will never get off the boat. If you let me stay any longer, I will really go crazy-" The Sheriff went even more simply and took the whole family directly to the boat.

The boat was so crowded that I didn’t care about the thin gangway.

It does look quite miserable.

David felt a little pain in his tooth.
