Expedition to Europe

After a lot of trouble, three days later, the troops heading to recapture the Mobil oil field finally changed their equipment and prepared to set off again.

Compared with the last time, the preparations before departure were undoubtedly much more noisy.

More than a hundred brand-new cars had just disembarked from Djerba Island. These new cars had to be debugged by technicians to ensure that they were in the best condition. Some soldiers would also add some small decorations and small parts according to their own habits. There were also veterans with rich combat experience who directly disassembled and assembled them. Many seats were removed to make enough space for the vehicle-mounted machine guns to carry bullets, which made the whole camp in chaos.

In fact, at present, cars like the "Bulldog" are still in high demand. If it weren't for United Petroleum to buy them, I don't know how long it would take to queue up. Anyway, Prince Basel wanted to buy a batch of "Bulldogs" to equip his guards half a year ago, but he hasn't received the goods yet.

So Prince Basel is now more and more certain that this is a conspiracy against him.

Although he understood what was going on, Prince Basel was helpless. The money had already been paid, and if the contract was torn up, Prince Basel would get nothing. Well, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his tears.

He learned a lesson. Before the troops set out, Prince Basel came to inspect again. This time he was smarter. He brought a hundred or so members of his private guards to act together with the troops sent by United Petroleum. He called it strengthening the force, but his real intention was obvious. He was afraid that the troops sent by United Petroleum would not work hard, and he wanted to ensure that his money was not wasted.

Chris did not reject this army equipped only with camels, but only asked the people sent by Basel to obey the command of the officers of the United Petroleum Force and not to act privately.

Basel did not want to cause trouble, as long as he could successfully recapture the Mobil Oil Field. So after a simple communication, the troops were dispatched immediately and went to the Mobil Oil Field.

The army of more than 100 vehicles is still very spectacular. At least in North Africa, this is a very large force, which is enough to overthrow a country.

So Prince Basel, who was standing in front of the camp, had a flickering look in his eyes.

Soon Prince Basel found something wrong. Only about one-third of the cars were dispatched, and the remaining cars had no intention of starting.

"What's going on?" Prince Basel immediately asked.

"This is the follow-up force. They will not be dispatched until tomorrow. Okay, let's stop here today." Chris was in a relaxed and happy mood at the moment. The total value of the contract with Basel exceeded 20 million francs. This money was really easy to make.

"Let's talk in your office." Prince Basel was in a fiery mood and didn't care about the details in front of him.

"I'm very happy to serve you." Chris didn't know that there was another good thing coming to him, but dealing with a rich man like Prince Basel, who was stupid and rich, always made people happy.

Chris's office was in the barracks. This guy was also very cautious and had to live in the barracks to feel safe.

United Petroleum has the only armored force in North Africa on Djerba Island. Although it only has 20 tanks, it is already the most powerful force in the region. Chris' favorite thing to do is to line up 20 tanks in front of his office, just like a guard of honor to shock every guest who comes to visit Chris.

This behavior does seem a bit nouveau riche, but it is indeed very effective. At least in the past few years that Chris has been on Djerba Island, United Petroleum can be said to be invincible in North Africa. No one dares to make things difficult for United Petroleum, at least those well-known figures do not dare.

Like all the frontier officials, Chris's office is decorated magnificently, with gold foil decorations everywhere, a large number of antiques, handmade tapestries full of North African style and huge animal specimens, and knives inlaid with various gems hanging on half of the wall. It looks high-profile and ostentatious without any disguise.

Well, this actually does not meet Chris's aesthetic standards, but it does meet Prince Basel's aesthetic standards, so Prince Basel likes Chris's office very much.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee or champagne?" As the host, Chris personally served Prince Basel, and there were not many taboos in his words.

According to North African customs, alcoholic beverages are absolutely prohibited, but Chris did not have so many taboos for Prince Basel, and champagne is also a kind of alcoholic beverage.

"A glass of champagne, thank you." As a person who has lived in Paris for many years, Prince Basel's choice was not unexpected by Chris.

"Don't worry, at most three days, the Mobil oil field will be back in your hands, and then you will find that the money you pay now is so worthwhile." Chris thought that Prince Basel, who looked thoughtful, really felt sorry for his money, so he comforted him.

"It's not about money--" Prince Basel took the champagne, raised his head and drank it clean, then looked at the empty glass in his hand, and then looked at Chris's expression of disgust: "Don't you have something more exciting?"

Well, Prince Basel finally remembered the rules of the church and did not directly ask for vodka.

Chris shrugged and put a bottle of brandy in front of Prince Basel.

Chris did not believe in religion and only went to church occasionally when necessary. Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault were Chris's gods.

This time, the Prince of Basel was obviously more satisfied. He filled up a large glass and drank it in one gulp. He poured it back to normal level again and then slowly spoke: "If - I mean if, if I want to hire your people." How would you feel if you did something that might cause you trouble?"

"Trouble? No matter what you do in this world, even if you go to a restaurant to eat, it will bring trouble to the waiter. However, the restaurant owner is always happy, so the trouble will vary from person to person. For United Oil Say, you are a partner of United Petroleum and a major customer. You have never meant trouble. United Petroleum is very happy to serve you." Chris immediately cheered up.

Something that can make even the Prince of Basel feel in trouble must be beyond the norm, but only such a thing can make enough profit. The smart thing about Chris is that whenever he needs to use the first person, Chris will always use "Union Oil" instead. This can give people enough confidence, and at the same time, it also unknowingly raises Chris's The net worth will not make people realize that Chris is just a professional manager.

"Then, help me prepare another army - no, just this one will do. When they drive away the Brotherhood, I will ask them to do another thing. You can give me a price." Prince Basel made a determined decision Come on, my eyes are a little red, and I'm foaming at the mouth when I speak. It's really rude.

"May I ask, what do you mean?" Chris was not sure of the Prince of Basel's purpose.

"No, no, no, I can't tell you now. I need time to prepare. I will tell you when the time is right." The Prince of Basel had a gloomy expression and soft eyes. He looked at Chris with twinkling eyes, probably evaluating it. Chris' credibility.

"First of all, I want to state that United Petroleum will not do anything that is unfavorable to the French government. United Petroleum will not betray France -" Chris said while watching the reaction of Prince Basel. After seeing Basel shake his head slightly, Chris continued : "Secondly, United Petroleum does not do cross-border matters. Although my boss is not afraid of the British, he does not want to cause trouble - then in Tunisia, what can you call me in Tunisia? 'Troublesome' - oh oh oh -"

Chris suddenly understood what the Prince of Basel meant, and was dumbfounded for a while.

The only person who can be called troublesome by the Prince of Basel in Tunisia is the current king of Tunisia, the brother of the Prince of Basel-Mohammed V Nader.

This is tantamount to seeking to usurp the throne!

"Actually, you don't need to worry. His Majesty the King's physical condition is not good. Maybe in the next two years, His Majesty the King will pass away. Then you will not have no chance." Chris was also weighing the gains and losses.

When Chris took office, Qin Zhiyuan drew a red line for Chris, that is, United Oil can only be a commercial company and cannot be involved in any politics.

The "cannot" here refers to French politics. Even Qin Zhiyuan does not want to get involved in the French presidential election, and United Petroleum cannot get involved casually. Qin Zhiyuan established United Petroleum just for profit, not to control the political power of a certain country. Although United Petroleum Oil seems powerful, but it is still not enough in front of a country like France.

But if it was Tunisia, to be honest, Chris was really a little moved.

With the strength of United Oil Company, it is a bit overestimating to decide the candidate for president of France, but if it is Tunisia, Chris is still very confident.

Tunisia's defense now completely relies on France. Even King Nader's own guard has limited strength. It does not even need to use United Petroleum's armored forces. It only needs to send a short and capable commando team to conquer it in a short time. Tunisia Palace, if Basel steps in to clean up the mess, it seems that the possibility of success is indeed relatively high.

The only reason to worry is the reaction of the French government. However, with the Prince of Basel’s skill in dancing in Paris, the French should not make it difficult for the Prince of Basel. However, in that case, United Oil will definitely arouse the vigilance of some people. , will have some adverse effects on United Petroleum, which must be taken into consideration.

"Haha, even if His Majesty the King dies, my good nephew will be the one who takes the throne. I, the third heir, are of no use." The Prince of Basel didn't want to wait, not even for a minute, thinking that the throne was so within reach. At that moment, the Prince of Basel felt a fire burning in his heart.

Compared with the throne, Mobil Oilfield is really nothing.
