"Well, let them move freely, how does it feel to be on the pirate coast?" In the study, Li Zitao talked on the phone with a bright smile.

"Boss, the sun here is fantastic, the Pirate Coast is already 2 centuries ago. Looking out at the beach in the room, the monk said with a smile.

"It seems that you have learned a lot of history, how did you talk to Chief Representative Trusil Oman?"

Trusil Oman, after 1968 had another golden name 'Emirates United.' ’

The training course formulated by Wang Dagou personally went to West Africa is now the course of the 'Alpha Rapid Maneuver Group', with the monk as the chief instructor.

The new training base is located in the Emirate of Sharjah in Trusil Oman.

West Africa, in the primeval forests of Comoe, the training of the 'Ghost Squad' is handled by the first generation of Ghost Squad members.

Samod returned to West Africa, not to guard the mines, but to establish a West African branch belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Let the monk go to Sharjah, naturally there is only one purpose, Li Zitao aimed at the oil reserves in the Persian Gulf.

He doesn't know when oil was discovered in the Persian Gulf Straits, but at least not yet.

And the nine major emirates are currently under the protection of country Y, and to put it bluntly, they are the overseas colonies of country Y, which is good news for Li Zitao.

At least when negotiating with the chiefs, his marquis status will play a role, and the British representative in Sharjah will be able to help appropriately.

This time, Li Zitao has a great appetite, and he wants to obtain a series of rights such as oil exploration, exploitation, and transportation from the 'protected state' at one time.

"Boss, the general representative said that our appetite is too big. The monk smiled bitterly.

In the eyes of the nine emirates, this is not only a big appetite, it is simply a banditry.

If there is no oil, it is better to say, once the oil is produced, the interests involved in it are measured in billions.

Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, um Al Quwain, Ajman, Oman, Qatar.

It is the Nine Protected Emirates, and it is also the colony of Country Y that controlled the Persian Gulf coast in the early 20th century.

"Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, these four must be in hand, if not, give up Sharjah. ”

Then the two discussed the details in detail, and compromise was the most advantageous weapon.

In the 30s, Sharjah and Oman were the most high-profile areas.

In comparison, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Qatar are inconspicuous.

Even in the future, Qatar is low-key, but this future has not joined the UAE and declared independence, and it is richer than Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

More importantly, Qatar has the extremely important Strait of Hormuz, the only sea route for oil from the Gulf region to the rest of the world in the future.

It will also be one of the busiest waterways in the world and is known as the 'world's most important chokepoint.' ’

The herringbone bay waterway, combined with the reefs lining the channel, makes it difficult for any large boat to pass through here.

This is also convenient for military deployment and control, and once someone stops this choke point in the future, global oil prices can instantly create tens of billionaires on the stock market.

"The Qatar region must be taken, and it can be communicated privately with the Al Thani family, and all the upfront investment will be taken care of by Standard Oil of Alaska.

Once the oil is surveyed, they get 25 percent of the oil stocks, and my floor price is 35. ”

Li Zitao also needs to consider appeasing the emotions of country Y, and he knows very well that there will be oil here.

There is also the world's third-largest natural gas reserves, more than Abu Dhabi and Dubai combined.

But even so, it is not comparable to the friendly attitude of country Y towards him.

Not to mention that it was the 30s before World War II, Country Y still had a strong national power and a large number of overseas colonies.

Even in the future 21st century, who would really dare to ignore the influence of country Y.

Li Zitao must weigh the scales in this, not to unduly harm his own interests, but also to further bring the relationship between the two sides closer.

Just because of his fiancée's relationship with King George and Queen Mary's godson, he needs to deal with this issue carefully.

After sitting in the office and thinking for a long time, Li Zitao decided to give up 14% of the profit.

If the Big Y Empire can facilitate the passage of this agreement, he will give up 14 percent of the shares in the future Gulf oil fields.

"Rush, get your men ready, we're going to Buckingham Palace as guests. Li Zitao plans to meet His Royal Highness George V in person.

After communicating with his fiancée on the phone in Washington, the two departed from Washington and Chicago respectively to meet at the London airport.

"There are oil reserves in the Gulf?" Sitting in the carriage, Adellaide rubbed the corners of her eyes a little tiredly.

These days, the constant debates with Congress, hearings, speeches, and all kinds of evidence have taken her a lot of energy.

"My dear, I have heard what you have been questioned at the hearing, and perhaps I should protest this,

As one of the largest taxpayers in the United States, I didn't let them take the money to embarrass my fiancée. ”

What Li Zitao said is very reasonable, the people and the government are always in an antagonistic situation, and this is the characteristic of the United States.

As early as the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Founding Fathers thought about how they could make this human-created 'government monster' not get out of control.

Thus, there was the Declaration of Freedom, there was the "Three Divisions of Rights," and there was the government prohibiting meddling in any industry, and wealth could be obtained only by taxation.

This is the reason why taxes in the United States are always high, and why the people are always happy to monitor every move of the government.

"What the hell are those damn officials doing with my money?" thinks every citizen of America, from the rich to the commoners.

Because it is their right, they pay a high price for it, 30~45% of their annual income.

And even more to the government, of course I have the right to know where you spend your money, what do you officials who take my money do every day?

A very interesting interview the other day was when a reporter from the Washington Post interviewed people about a child from a wealthy family.

One of his words shocked Li Zitao's heart, "They take the money but can't do their jobs well, we should fire them all." ”

This is American thought, although it is still immature, it can be said that this idea is being extended to the next generation, and Li Zitao has also spontaneously transferred to the same role.

And the reason why he was able to hear his fiancée's hearing was because of the recent Chicago Radio 5, which has just started a new broadcast.

24-hour broadcasts of Congressional and government hearings, whether government budgets, establishment or outlawing programs, foreign affairs, and domestic affairs.

All measures will be subject to the scrutiny of the press and the public.

Of course, there will certainly be some opacity in this kind of initiative, but it is certainly a step forward.

Numerous news outlets have once again thanked the 'Neil lawsuit' for this reform.
