Expedition to Europe

The Mobil Oil Field is about 350 kilometers away from Djerba Island. If the Bulldog is running at full speed, it will take about four hours to reach the Mobil Oil Field.

After all, it is still a new car and needs a running-in period. The soldiers of United Petroleum still cherish it very much, so at the end of the day, the United Petroleum Company's convoy and the guards sent by Prince Basel are still 200 kilometers away from the Mobil Oil Field.

This is not to blame the "Bullfighter" for running slowly, but because Prince Basel's guards are all "Mamluks" riding camels, and they really can't go faster.

At dusk, the troops camped in a place called Bazaar.

Bazaar was originally a small town with a population of about three or four thousand. Although it sounds small, it can be regarded as a city in Tunisia, which is vast and sparsely populated.

Well, Tunisia's "land" is really not "wide", and the population is also a flaw.

The bazaar is now basically abandoned. It is still a bit close to the Mobil oil field. Many people are afraid of the strength of the Brotherhood Alliance and choose to move away. Those who stay are the old, weak, sick and disabled.

The so-called "migration" is probably not entirely true. At least in Mustafa's opinion, quite a lot of people here should have defected to the Brotherhood Alliance instead of moving elsewhere. Mustafa is the leader of the guard sent by Prince Basel. He is still a prince, but he is already a side branch and has no practical significance.

"These damn untouchables, I really don't know how they live in this hellhole. There is not even water. Do they usually drink northwest wind?" Mustafa, who walked into Yue Liangcai's tent, was still cursing.

Yue Liangcai is the highest commander of the United Petroleum Company security force. Yue Liangcai is also from the Foreign Legion. He lost three fingers in the war. After retiring, he joined the Lan Fang Foreign Legion and was sent to Tunisia, becoming a senior officer in the United Petroleum Security Force.

By the way, the United Petroleum's security force now has 12,000 people, including 4,000 in Libya, 3,600 in Algeria, and the rest are on Djerba Island.

The "Bulldog" used by Yue Liangcai's troops drinks gasoline, but the camels ridden by Mustafa's soldiers drink water. It seems that Mustafa did not find enough water, so he was a little annoyed.

"Don't worry, take your time, do you want a drink?" Yue Liangcai comforted casually, raising the cup in his hand to signal Mustafa.

Although he was away from home, as a senior officer, Yue Liangcai still had full privileges. For example, the tent that Yue Liangcai is using now, although the area is not large, has everything you need, and even a set of professional tea sets for making tea, which is not common in North Africa.

However, it is obvious that what Yue Liangcai is drinking now is not tea, but white wine, or white wine with a relatively high degree. Although he is still one or two meters away, Mustafa can still smell the alcohol.

"Hey, it's impolite to do this. You should know our taboos." Mustafa changed his face immediately, and he didn't mean to be too fierce.

The situation is stronger than the person. Although this is North Africa, it is obvious that Yue Liangcai has more power than Mustafa. When Mustafa set out, Prince Basel repeatedly told Mustafa to be careful and not to offend these abnormal "pagans", so Mustafa chose a more gentle way to express his opinion.

"This is not wine, but a traditional drink in our country. Well, it's similar to milk tea in your country. You smell it. It tastes like standard soy sauce." Yue Liangcai stared and lied, his expression was quite sincere.

"Thank you, your taste is very special." Mustafa was surprised by Yue Liangcai's thick skin. He shook his hands repeatedly to express his gratitude, and then sat far away from Yue Liangcai.

"We should arrive at the Mobil oil field tomorrow, right?" Mustafa watched Yue Liangcai feasting on barbecue and wine. His throat was unconsciously moving up and down, and the saliva in his mouth was getting more and more.

It is undoubtedly a very happy thing to have a hearty dinner after a long journey. But if you are hungry and watch others enjoy a hearty dinner after a long journey, it is really the cruelest thing in the world.

"Of course, in fact, if it weren't for taking care of your camels, we could reach the Mobil Oil Field today, and then we could set off to return to the base tomorrow night." Yue Liangcai was full of confidence and did not take into account the time required to launch an attack on the Brotherhood Alliance.

"Should we wait for the follow-up troops, wait until the troops gather, and then launch the attack." Mustafa did not have the confidence of Yue Liangcai, and his eyebrows were very worried.

According to the information Mustafa received, there are about 5,000 Brotherhood Alliance soldiers gathered in the Mobil Oil Field. This is a very large force. Even if the troops led by Yue Liangcai have strong combat effectiveness, they must be careful to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

What's more, Yue Liangcai does not have 1,000 people under his command. According to Mustafa's conclusion, Yue Liangcai has only more than 500 people at most, which is quite different from the number of Brotherhood Alliance soldiers in the intelligence. Mustafa really doesn't have much confidence.

"No need. Why should we give the credit to them? Let's just launch the attack, and when the follow-up troops catch up, let them clean up the battlefield." Yue Liangcai was full of confidence, and his intention to grab the credit was obvious.

Before setting off, Yue Liangcai knew that there was no follow-up troops at all. This was all the manpower here. Chris didn't want the troops to drive cars to train. Although the United Petroleum had a lot of gasoline, it couldn't be wasted.

"Come on, come on, come on, try this. This is our chef's specialty. Most people don't have the pleasure of enjoying it." A guard brought a barbecue to Mustafa, and Yue Liangcai was very enthusiastic.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Mustafa didn't refuse. To be honest, Mustafa had been craving for a long time.

How can there be meat without wine? Yue Liangcai poured a glass and placed it next to Mustafa. He didn't say anything to give it up, and continued to eat it.

"Hmm, this tastes very good." Mustafa ate happily.

United Petroleum has plenty of money, and Lanfang is a place that produces spices, so the food at United Petroleum is quite good. Take the barbecue in front of Mustafa for example. The chefs of United Petroleum used three kinds of oil alone when making it, and also used chili, cumin, star anise, pepper, fennel, peanuts, sesame and other condiments, which is much more complicated than the local methods in Tunisia.

Of course, if it were in the 21st century, many people might think that only sprinkling some salt can taste the original flavor, but in the early 20th century, it was the right thing to eat fine food and fine minced meat. Sprinkling only some salt was considered the most vulgar way of eating, and people with a little status would disdain it.

Mustafa has a hidden attribute of "prince", and he is also very particular about eating. In terms of eating, no one in the world is more particular than the Chinese, so you can imagine how much Mustafa loves the barbecue in front of him, and he even eats his tongue.

"Don't worry about the battle. We are the experts in this area. You just need to watch and see how we teach the Brothers Alliance a lesson! To be honest, I know the two Ipraxins from the Brothers Alliance. They were originally eliminated by our security forces. I didn't expect that they have become famous now. I will let them know that there is a reason why they were not qualified to join the United Petroleum Security Force." Yue Liangcai comforted Mustafa while eating, and Mustafa nodded repeatedly.

The combat effectiveness of the United Petroleum Company's security forces is second to none in the three North African countries. Even the Governor's Guard stationed in North Africa by the French government is not as good as the United Petroleum Company's security forces. Even the Governor himself admits this, and Mustafa has no objection.

Hearing Yue Liangcai's solemn words, Mustafa also put down the big stone in his heart. The key is Yue Liangcai's words "You don't need to participate in the war", which really gave Mustafa a reassurance.

Before coming, to be honest, Mustafa was a little worried. According to the conditions agreed by Prince Basel and Chris, Mustafa and his people were all under the jurisdiction of Yue Liangcai. If Yue Liangcai asked Mustafa's people to take on some combat tasks during the battle, Mustafa did not have enough reason to refuse.

And if the relationship between United Petroleum and the Brotherhood Alliance was really as close as the legend, then Yue Liangcai might really take advantage of this opportunity to kill Mustafa. The key is that Mustafa could not resist yet, so now that he has received Yue Liangcai's promise, you can imagine how relaxed Mustafa is.

"That's right, the two Ipraxins in the Brotherhood Alliance are pagans. They should be stoned to death and let them never be reborn." Mustafa was fierce and evil.

There is really not much creativity in the way of executing the death penalty in North Africa. Either they are stoned to death, or they are beheaded directly, or they are burned to death. It is really simple and crude, without any artistry. Look at the death penalty methods in the East, such as scorching, slow slicing, and death penalty, etc., which are really varied and have risen to a certain artistic level.

"Hmm, hail my Lord!" Yue Liangcai suddenly raised his glass and shouted, then raised his head and drank it all up.

"Hail my Lord!" Mustafa also raised his glass in response, then raised his head and drank it all up.

But, this is white wine, and it is a strong white wine.

Mustafa's face immediately turned red like a monkey's butt, and I don't know if it was because of his sensitive constitution or because of embarrassment.

"It's just a drink--" Yue Liangcai still had a simple and honest face.

"Yes, it's just a drink, this taste is very special, um, very special--" Mustafa grinned a little, as if he just felt it was a little spicy now.

Yeah, it's really a little spicy.
