The number of oil wells does not reflect the strength of a company, those manually dug oil wells, the efficiency is not comparable with the machine digging oil wells, the oil wells of the British American oil company still use the original way of manual digging, and the oil wells of the umbrella company have achieved all mechanized operations.

Reflected in the output, the daily output of manually dug oil wells is only a few hundred barrels per day, and the daily output of machine-dug oil wells is easily thousands or even tens of thousands, so it is normal for the umbrella company to be squeezed out by other oil companies.

"I don't care how you compete, I can't affect the normal order, if anyone dares to make trouble again, I will cancel his mining qualification." Alex Alexander, the oil companies are all thorns, and it's really hard to get a bowl of water.

"Mr. Alex, you're clearly biased." Jeffrey Kiplin of Standard Oil is blunt that Standard Oil is the largest oil company in the world compared to European oil companies such as Umbrella, Anglo American, and Royal Shell.

"Shut up the French and accept your fate!" Ivanovic fanned the flames, and Jeffrey Kiplin was of French descent but had become an American citizen.

"Cattle, come here and we'll fight to the death!" Jeffrey Kiplin is mad, and the Russian soldier is the famous "gray livestock".

"Ivanovich is happy to accompany you—" Ivanovich eagerly carried a wrench more than a meter long.

If there is a fight, Standard Oil will definitely suffer, the workers on the umbrella side are not only outnumbered, but also have superior equipment, all of them have helmets similar to steel helmets, these helmets are certainly not as protective as the standard steel helmets used by the regular army in southern Africa, but they are much better than the unprotected workers of Standard Oil.

Unlike the umbrella that holds on to Port Elizabeth, Standard Oil has oil wells in all the world's oil producing areas, but Port Elizabeth, which Standard Oil cannot set foot in.

Compared with European oil companies, Standard Oil has stronger technology, better equipment, and more explorers, after Port Elizabeth began to produce oil, Standard Oil noticed the Persian Gulf, referring to the information in the Persian Gulf region, Standard Oil was surprised to find that there may be the world's largest oil field, which is regrettable, this is not the first discovery of Standard Oil.

In order to develop the oil on the Persian Gulf coast, Anglo-American Petroleum also has a stake in Standard Oil, so this time Anglo-American Petroleum found oil in the Persian Empire, and Standard Oil couldn't wait to get involved.

"Shut up, Americans, don't know what to do, I'm protecting you, there are tens of thousands of mercenaries from the Umbrella Company in Port Elizabeth, and the U.S. government won't send the Great White Fleet to protect you." Alex is really not partial to the umbrella, for the British government, if there is only one oil company on the peninsula, it is not in the interests of the United Kingdom, and multiple oil companies can contribute more and profit to the British government by coexisting and competing with each other.

President Theodore Roosevelt wanted to use the White Fleet's round-the-world voyage to emphasize the fact that the United States had the largest GDP in the world by circumnavigating the world by circumnavigating the world with a fleet of 16 new battleships and other escort ships.

16 battleships sounds like a lot, but in fact, the strength of the navy is really not determined by the number of warships, not to mention that the 16 battleships of the United States are used to scare second-rate countries such as Japan and Italy, and in the face of Britain and Germany, which dominate the arms race, the United States is still the younger brother.

The economic strength of the United States is indeed the first in the world, but the navy is not good, in the context of the arms race, the strength of the United States is growing, the European powers are not idle, the German Navy was just established in 1871, in 1906 stimulated by Britain to decide to build dreadnoughts, and then before the outbreak of the world war, a total of 22 battleships, 5 battle cruisers, 11 cruisers, and 72 destroyers.

Just looking at the data on paper, the German Navy was also very strong, but after the Battle of Jutland, the German Navy became a presence fleet, and even military ports did not dare to go out.

The British Navy had 28 battleships, 9 battlecruisers, 33 cruisers, and 79 destroyers before the outbreak of the World War.

Moreover, the strength of the navy is not determined by the number of warships, the British Navy has dominated the world for hundreds of years, the US Navy has just risen, the hardware strength can be narrowed with strong economic strength, and the gap in software strength cannot be made up by building warships by surprise in a short period of time.

Like most Britons, Alex is envious and jealous of America's fast-growing economic power, so he doesn't like Jeffrey Kiplin.

Compared with southern Africa, which still remains in the British Commonwealth, the United States is an eternal hate in the hearts of the British, and if the United States has no bright spots, then the British will be better to accept it, but the American economy is growing by leaps and bounds, so the image of the Americans in Europe has become a nouveau riche that everyone hates.

"The Umbrella already has the Elizabeth oil fields, they shouldn't come to the Persian Empire, and if the Umbrella can exploit the Persian oil fields, then the Umbrella should also open the Elizabeth port." Jeffrey Kipling's biggest grievance was the Elizabeth oil field, which immediately won the support of his peers around him.

"That's right, the Umbrella Company is indeed too much!"

"Drive the Umbrella Corporation out of the Persian Empire!"

"We demand the right to fair competition, and free trade is the true meaning!"

"Shut up! No one stopped you from going to Port Elizabeth, and the Umbrella Company never said that you would not be allowed to go to the Elizabeth field to extract oil, and you could go if you wanted—" Ivanovich was triumphant, and did not consider it a shame to be a public enemy of all his peers, and a mediocrity not to be envied.

As Ivanovich said, the Umbrella Company has never publicly denied other oil companies access to Port Elizabeth to extract oil.

However, the Anglo-American oil company has proved that it is dangerous to set foot on the peninsula rashly without the permission of the umbrella company, and no one is willing to risk their lives to challenge the ability of the umbrella company to put into action.

“bloody！”

“merde！”

“scheisse！”

In response to Ivanovich was a standard state scold in various languages.

“cyka blyat！” Of course, Ivanovich also has a Russian version, and it is composed of two words.

As long as he didn't do it, Alex didn't care, and five minutes later, everyone's mouth was dry, the scolding war ended automatically, everyone went back to work refreshed, and a storm disappeared into invisibility.

When Chad Bloom returned to the tent to drink water and replenish his strength, his subordinates came up with an idea, since the bright ones don't work, they will come to the dark, as the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend.

"Stop, go back to work honestly, and don't get me in trouble." Chad Bloom still knows the severity, it's normal to have a fight and scold or something, and some bottom lines can't be broken.

The big guys are not stupid, the umbrella company is so strong in Port Elizabeth, and when it comes to the Persian Empire, it has to compete according to the normal business process, although it looks a little ugly, but such an umbrella company is still acceptable.

Now on the surface, it seems that the interests of the Anglo-American oil company have been greatly affected, but in fact, so many oil companies have gathered in the Persian Empire, which objectively helped the Anglo-American oil company to share the pressure from the umbrella company, at least with the exploitation of oil, the Anglo-American oil company began to make profits, no longer beyond making ends meet, and Chad Bloom still cherished this opportunity.

On this issue, everyone has a tacit understanding, even Ivanovic, who was rolling around just now, after returning to the derrick, he is trying to restrain his subordinates as much as possible.

"We're here to stir up peace, it's the right thing to dig up the oil as soon as possible, let's dig more, and those sluts will dig less-" Ivanovich is here to stir up, and the umbrella company in this regard has won the true heritage of the British government.

During this period, people did not know much about oil, and the technology of oil exploitation was not perfect, basically it was all predatory excavation, and all companies rushed to find oil when they found oil, and they "dug up" the oil in a short time to find new oil wells.

In fact, this "digging light" is impossible, with the development of oil exploration technology, there will always be new oil fields to be discovered, even if it is now seems to be lighted oil fields, with the development of mining technology can still continue to exploit.

However, few people know this theory, so the purpose of the umbrella company is to dig out more oil as quickly as possible, and it is better to make the oil appear to be dug up, so as to at least reduce the enthusiasm of these oil companies for the Persian Gulf.

At the same time that Ivanovich was leading people to dig for oil desperately, Li De was also actively acting, trying to cooperate with the real power figures in the Persian Empire to jointly develop the oil in the Persian Empire.

Reza Khan, who served in the Guards, was found by Lide.

This Reza Khan is the same Reza Khan who overthrew the Qajar dynasty and established the Pahlavi dynasty in the future.

However, now Reza Khan is only a regimental commander in the Guards, and his status is not high enough, so he was selected by Li De and became Li De's partner.

Reza Khan really had a high status, and people wouldn't have cooperated with a notorious company like the Umbrella Company.

The cooperation is the same as that of the Umbrella Company on the Peninsula, in which the Umbrella Company will pay to buy the areas that may contain oil directly, and then the Umbrella Company and Reza Khan will jointly develop them, so as to prevent other oil companies from rushing to predatory exploitation and successfully maximize profits.

Reza Khan basically agreed to Li De's request, but hoped that he could be paid in kind, and Reza Khan did not ask for arms, but food.
