Also as an ancient civilization, Britain was relatively cautious in the process of colonizing Persia.

In other areas, Britain basically has a Bible in one hand and a sharp sword in the other. If it cannot conquer spiritually, it will resort to force. In this regard, Britain is actually a **** country.

In Persia, the British colonial method penetrated subtly and gradually, and the way it treated ancient civilizations was definitely different from the way it treated African tribes in their primitive state.

However, the specific results of such an approach are open to question. As a country that has been in constant war for thousands of years, Persia has its own pride and will not be easily deceived by Britain's few words, and Britain cannot afford the losses caused by launching large-scale wars.

, so now Persia is still a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country and has not been completely reduced.

The emergence of southern Africa became the x factor that broke the deadlock.

In Africa, Rock has proved with facts that the colonial system established by Britain and France is not impeccable. Now it is not only Portugal and Belgium, two weak countries, that are damaged, but Germany is also sinking in Tanganyika, so

The panic caused by Southern Africa is not limited to southern Africa, but has spread to all colonies around the world.

When Ade heard about the uprising of the Babs in Persia, his first reaction was that it must be closely related to the Umbrella Company.

But then this inference was overturned. The power of religion is more fanatical than the secular government, and it may be out of control. Ade does not think that the Umbrella Company's influence on Persia has reached this level.

"Anglo-American Petroleum Company has part of British capital, Royal Shell is a joint venture between the British Empire and the Netherlands, Standard Oil is an American company through and through, and only Adan Company is a real British company, serving the interests of the empire wholeheartedly. Before that, Adan Company

In the trade with the Ministry of War, Adan Company never maliciously raised prices, did not hoard goods, and did not take advantage of foreign countries. The Ministry of War obtained sufficient oil supply at the lowest price, and Adan Company worked hard to tap oil to meet the needs of the empire.

This is business behavior under normal mode, not the bottomless business competition now." Rock directly targeted Royal Shell and Anglo American Petroleum Company. Forget about those oil companies that have just been established without even an oil well. They

It takes opportunity to become a rival of Adan Company.

"Royal Shell and Anglo American are traitors!" Philip was filled with indignation. On this issue, Philip's position was completely consistent with Roque's.

"Locke, how sure are you about Ahvaz?" Ade values ​​practical results. It doesn't matter how loud the slogan is. Getting actual benefits is the real deal.

"One thousand percent!" Rock vowed.

Just when Rock was trying his best to win the support of Ade and Philip, at the headquarters of Adan Company in Port Elizabeth, Tang En and Li De were hosting a banquet for Alex, the British Commissioner to Persia.

The headquarters of Adan Company in Port Elizabeth is called "Pantheon". This name sounds a bit arrogant, but it is not surprising at all in Port Elizabeth.

Port Elizabeth not only has the "Pantheon", but also the "Sanqing Palace", the "Garden of Eden", the "Venus" and the "Lumbini Garden".

Like southern Africa, Adang Company does not impose restrictions on religion, but it does not encourage it. The entire Port Elizabeth, whether Catholic or Protestant, can only have one church. The same is true for temples and Taoist temples. Port Elizabeth currently has 13,500

There are more than a hundred people, and there are only six religious sites in total. This ratio is already high enough.

The "Pantheon" is a building made entirely of white marble. It covers an area of ​​more than 15,000 square meters and the height of the main building is more than 30 meters. Nearly a hundred people died before and after its completion. It is the tallest building in Port Elizabeth.

.

"Reed, I'm not being picky. It's just that the requirements of your Adam Company are too harsh. No one would agree to it. Ahvaz should not be controlled by a certain company. Only free trade can bring the greatest benefits to the British Empire."

." Alex has not drunk too much and is still conscious.

"With all due respect, Alex, do you think Standard Oil or Royal Shell will serve the British Empire wholeheartedly? Last month, Standard Oil dug out 150,000 barrels of oil from Ahvaz, but Standard Oil paid

How much is the tax? You must know better than me." Li De was half-leaning in the arms of a Persian girl wearing only a light veil. He didn't have to do anything whether he was drinking or eating. The Persian girl next to him would take the initiative to deliver it.

Li De's mouth.

The concept of "barrel" was established by Adan Company. According to Adan Company's standards, a barrel is about 0.16 square meters, which is slightly larger than the American system.

Ahvaz is indeed very rich in oil resources. For Romania, 150,000 barrels is nearly one-third of Romania's monthly oil production. However, the standard oil production in Ahvaz is not the highest.

, the highest ranking companies are Aldan, Umbrella, Anglo American, Royal Shell, and then Standard Oil.

"No matter what, Reed, you already own Port Elizabeth, so you should restrain yourself." Alex refused to give face, and the atmosphere in the room immediately cooled down.

"How do you want us to restrain ourselves?" Reed smiled.

"Get what you deserve, and don't try to get involved in things that don't belong to you." Alex had a bad attitude. I don't know why. From the beginning, Alex had high hopes for Umbrella and Adan Company.

There is some hostility.

This is normal. The influence of southern Africa has not yet spread to the peninsula and Europe. In many people's minds, southern Africa is still a wild land and there is nothing to worry about.

"Alex, if you are not satisfied with what you get, you can just say so." Li De was not polite. This was no different from a direct slap in the face.

"Asshole, how could you say that?" Alex didn't expect Li De to fall out so quickly.

"Then what do you really want to hear from me? Let's be clear, this is Port Elizabeth, not Cairo. I am a Chinese from southern Africa, not a Chinese from the Qing Dynasty!" Li De was aggressive, slapping the table and staring.

A standard looking barbarian.

"Absurd, simply ridiculous!" Alex did not dare to look Li De in the eyes, angrily tore off the napkin from his collar and left.

Li De didn't say anything, his fierce eyes were unfocused, he picked up the cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"How about it? I told you before that there is no reason to argue with these people. We represent Nyasaland, they represent London, and we will eventually have a battle in the future!" Tang En was still adding fuel and jealousy, which was also

Even in the Pantheon, if it were leaked anywhere else, Tang En would probably be in trouble.

"Can you say a little less!" Li De was annoyed. Our ancestors had to hide their heads when writing anti-poems. Tang En was indeed too straightforward.

"I won't say nice things. Your Lordship said a long time ago that some people have deep-rooted prejudices against us. Don't try to change them. If you change someone else, it may have unexpected effects." Tang En was indifferent and changed to Roque.

Probably he would not treat Alex to a meal, but would rather treat him to a gun.

"How to change?" Li De still didn't understand Tang En well enough.

Tang Enjie laughed strangely. That night, Alex died unexpectedly in the apartment. The result of forensic monitoring was that Alex had a heart attack. It only took one minute from the onset of illness to death. In other words, Alex died.

Kess did not suffer any pain and died peacefully in his sleep.

This result seemed to Li De to be abnormal, so Li De went to Tang En as soon as he got the test results.

"The medical examiner said that he had a heart attack and even gods could not save him." Tang En firmly refused to admit that there was an inside story.

"Then how could it be such a coincidence? Alex is the Persian commissioner, which will seriously affect our arrangements." Li De was angry. Tang En and the other mercenaries were nominally under the management of Adan Company.

But there are actually many problems.

If you think about it, you can understand that a single arrogant soldier defeated the Germans and the Dutch, subverting Portuguese East Africa and subverting East India. In the current peninsula, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are almost like the emperor. Many mercenaries have already

Families immigrated to the peninsula and became permanent residents of the peninsula. Some people even deliberately changed their ethnicity to Persian. This was blatant adulteration. Although Li De knew about these situations, he was unable to do anything.

In name, the Umbrella Company is under the leadership of Adan Company, but in fact this is not the case. The Umbrella Company is directly responsible to Rock. In other words, no matter what Tang En does, he is inextricably linked to Rock.

relation.

"That's your problem. What I want to guarantee is only the interests of Southern Africa. No matter who stands in the way of our umbrella company, we will smash him to pieces." Tang En is welcome. Now Southern Africa is no longer the first

Since there are tough hawks in the Cape Colony, naturally there are also moderate doves. Twain is undoubtedly a hawk.

Now it seems that Li De is a dove.

This is not in line with Rock's education to Li De.

"Twain, we want to create profits for Southern Africa, not cause trouble for the lord." Li De moved him with affection and reason. If there is anyone who can restrain Tang En, it must be Roque.

"Reed, you were once the closest person to the Lord. We are not causing trouble to the Lord, but creating conditions for southern Africa." Tang En would not compromise. As of that night, nearly a thousand mercenaries had penetrated into the area.

He went to Persia to launch an uprising of Babu believers against the cruel rule of the Persian Kingdom.

This is not just a day or two. A country like Persia will have such a day sooner or later.
