Expedition to Europe
Chapter 721 Long-planned
What happened at the Mobil oil field spread to Paris very quickly.
It was said to be very fast, but it was not that fast. The people of Basel Oil Development Company did not find out until five days later that the Mobil oil field did not deliver oil to Djerba Island. During this period, the management of Basel Oil Development Company actually sent three teams of cars to transport crude oil as planned. Those cars must have fallen into the hands of the Brotherhood Alliance.
What a bunch of pig brains.
Although Basel is a prince of Tunisia, he does not live in Tunisia, the capital of Tunisia, but in Paris.
After receiving the report about the Mobil oil field, Basel took a special plane from Paris to Djerba Island overnight, found Chris, the general manager of United Petroleum, and asked United Petroleum for help.
"Yes, we do have a cooperative relationship, but not an alliance. We are only responsible for helping you refine crude oil, but we are not responsible for the safety of the oil fields owned by Basel Oil Development Company, so we have no obligation to send troops." Chris emphasized the word "obligation" a little.
Chris is a middle-aged man in his forties with a standard Parisian accent. No matter when or where, he always wears a well-tailored suit and a neatly done hairstyle. The frameless gold-rimmed glasses on his face add a touch of elegance to Chris, while also covering up the commercialism and shrewdness behind the lenses.
"Damn it, the Mobil oil field was robbed, which not only hurts my interests, but also Qin's, and your United Petroleum. Don't you care?" Prince Basel argued.
Before coming, Prince Basel went to find Qin Zhiyuan, but Qin Zhiyuan didn't meet Prince Basel at all. Gao Hongshi's reply to Prince Basel was to go back and wait for news. Who knows how long it would take. Prince Basel couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to Djerba Island from Paris.
"Of course we care, so we are trying to find a way. You know, the problem we are facing now is not just to recapture the Mobil oil field. It is more important to prevent the situation from escalating. So we need to strengthen communication. This cannot be solved by sending troops." Chris was not impatient, and the answer he gave was not unexpected.
Chris was of course not in a hurry. Although the Brotherhood Alliance controlled the Mobil oil field, the oil produced every day would still be transported to Djerba Island. The money that belonged to United Petroleum was not less, and the tax that should be paid to the Governor's Office of North Africa was even exceeded. United Petroleum did not need to pay, but only used some of the old weapons and equipment to pay off the debt, and it could get the share that originally belonged to Prince Basel. The whole process was really easy and pleasant.
Of course, for Prince Basel, it was not so easy and pleasant. No one's money was less, only his share was missing.
"Damn it, you are shirking responsibility! That's not what was written in the contract at the beginning!" Prince Basel was furious and slapped Chris's desk and yelled.
"Sir, is there any problem?" Perhaps because Prince Basel made too much noise, the guard at the door pushed the door open.
Although the guards were wearing the uniforms of Djerba security personnel, they were obviously North Africans.
Unfortunately, the two burly North African security personnel did not even look at Prince Basel, and only looked at Chris.
You have to side with whoever you eat, and this is the same all over the world. Even if Prince Basel is a Tunisian prince, he is nothing in front of these Tunisians employed by United Petroleum.
"No problem, I will call you when I need you." Chris waved to the guards and motioned for the guards to go out.
The two guards with their hands on their waist holsters looked at Prince Basel with a wary and hostile look, then left the office and gently closed the door.
"Damn it, look at them, do they still think they are Tunisians?" Prince Basel was a little irritated by the eyes of the two guards.
Tunisia is an imperial country with strict hierarchy and clear distinction between the upper and lower levels. If it was three years ago, if these two Tunisians dared to look at Prince Basel with such eyes, they would be sentenced to death.
Of course, Prince Basel can't do anything now.
"Of course they are Tunisians, there is no doubt about that, but if you want to gain their respect, first you have to ask yourself what you have done for them? If you don't give them anything and still want to gain their loyalty, don't you think it's too much to ask?" Chris didn't get up from his seat, and his words were quite powerful.
Basel Oil Development Company has been operating for more than three years. Basel has not only recovered all its investment, but also made huge profits. Of course, no matter how much money Prince Basel makes, it's all Prince Basel's own, and even his brother the king has no chance to share the profits, let alone these ordinary Tunisians.
In fact, Prince Basel has made some contributions to the Tunisians, that is, setting a bad example. Basel did not use the money he earned for investment or basic livelihood construction, but used it to pay for his own consumption and to make friends with upper-class people in Paris. He lived a life of debauchery and extravagance. This was the contribution that Prince Basel made to Tunisia.
Basel probably knew that his behavior was not good, so he did not refute Chris's words, and only limited the topic to the scope of the Mobil oil field: "I can pay, pay to hire your army to take back the Mobil oil field. As you said, the situation cannot be escalated. If the power of the Brotherhood Alliance continues to expand, it will sooner or later endanger the oil fields controlled by United Petroleum, and then it will be difficult to reverse the situation. So now, while the misconduct has not been escalated, it should be in our common interest to drive the people of the Brotherhood Alliance out of Tunisia."
Prince Basel actually knew the relationship between the Brotherhood Alliance and United Petroleum. The reason why he hired the army of United Petroleum to deal with the Brotherhood Alliance was that Prince Basel wanted to put United Petroleum on the fire. If United Petroleum did not work hard, Prince Basel could take the opportunity to let the world see the true face of United Petroleum, and it would be even better if it could attract the attention of the British.
As a member of the oil industry, Prince Basel has been paying attention to new trends in the oil industry. Naturally, he also knew that a super-large oil field was discovered in Gharyan, and this oil field was developed by the British and the Brotherhood Alliance.
If the British can recognize the relationship between the Brotherhood Alliance and United Petroleum, then the British will definitely be wary of the Brotherhood Alliance, and may even destroy the cooperation between the Brotherhood Alliance and the British. This is undoubtedly a great good news for Prince Basel.
"Of course, but I must first state that it is very expensive to hire security personnel from United Petroleum." Chris's sword is already thirsty.
The security personnel of United Petroleum are actually regular troops of Lan Fang, but they are carrying out missions in North Africa under the banner of Lan Fang Foreign Legion. If you want to hire such an army, the cost is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if Prince Basel is rich, he will probably feel the pain.
"No problem, no matter how much it costs, I want the Brotherhood Alliance to be completely destroyed. I want to see the heads of those two damn Ibrahim, and I want everyone to know the consequences of angering me." Basel was murderous.
Basel wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and use this incident to warn those who want to reach out.
Well, the enemies that Prince Basel is facing are not only from the Brotherhood Alliance, but also from some people in Tunisia.
The original text can be read in the Six # 9 @Book/Bar!
There is not only Prince Basel in Tunisia, but the only one who can make money from the oil fields is Prince Basel. Even the king cannot enjoy the benefits of oil, so you can imagine the situation Prince Basel is facing.
There is a reason why Basel has been living in Paris.
"Wait a minute, there is one thing I want to confirm. The combat range of the United Petroleum Security Personnel is limited to Tunisia, not including cross-border operations. You know, we are just a company and have no power to compete with a country, especially a country like Britain." Chris first determined the responsibility.
Prince Basel's intention is not only to drive away the Brotherhood Alliance and take back the Mobil oil field, but also to completely wipe out the Brotherhood Alliance, which is beyond the combat range of the United Petroleum Group security personnel.
United Petroleum is a commercial company with French background. The company's behavior is of course limited to the business field. The group's security personnel are beyond their scope to undertake such military-related work. If they still want to enter Libya, it is almost like declaring war on Britain.
"Don't you still have a branch in Libya? Isn't the refinery in Benghazi yours? Isn't the oil field in the Shilt Basin yours? Since you also have security personnel in Libya, why can't you strike the Brotherhood Alliance in Libya?" Prince Basel was unwilling to give up and wanted the Brotherhood Alliance to be completely destroyed.
United Petroleum does have investments in Libya, which can be traced back to the "God-making Movement" period of Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault. It was with the oil fields in the Shilt Basin that Angel Jack was able to get his "first pot of gold".
"Libya is not under French rule, and there is no prince in Libya who can cooperate with us. If your influence can cover the Libyan Governor's Office, then of course it's good. We can dispatch Libyan security personnel to cooperate in the operation." Chris's tone was full of ridicule.
It is precisely because of Prince Basel's cooperation that the United Petroleum Security Force can carry out military operations in Tunisia, of course, it is limited to Tunisia, and Prince Basel's influence cannot penetrate into Libya.
"Okay, then only in Tunisia, take back Mobil Oil first." Prince Basel was obviously choked, and he grunted for a long time before he could say this.
"That's no problem." Chris smiled and took out a list, which listed the expenses required to dispatch the United Petroleum Group Security Force.
Damn, even this thing is ready, it is indeed a long-planned plan.
