685 After the great plague there will be a great plague
This is not the first time that Roque has done this, and the same way that the railroad between Walvis Bay and Bechuana was built, and the Atlantic Company is still selling all kinds of military and domestic supplies to Germany, and the British and American governments are as if they were unaware.
Some British companies now trade with the Atlantic Company, and Herbert Hoover took it to the extreme.
"What guarantees can you give me?" Hussein Kemal had no choice, and Roque had already gone to Port Elizabeth with the Military Observer Group, apparently avoiding suspicion and refusing to get involved in the matter.
"Everything you want, whether it's weapons or army instructors, or even armed mercenaries, we at Delta can provide it." Leo Fowler has taken it all over, and only in terms of business, the delta is indeed highly overlapping with the umbrella.
"How many armed mercenaries do you have?" Hussein Kemal was curious, he didn't think about hiring mercenaries from the umbrella company, but the price offered by the umbrella was too expensive for Hussein Kemal to hire.
"It depends on how much you need." Leo Fowler has confidence.
"Price?" Hussein Kemal is still concerned about price.
Leo Fowler didn't speak, silently handed over the quotation, and Hussein Kemal immediately blackened his face when he saw it.
The quotation of the delta is exactly the same as that of the umbrella company, and even the format of the quotation is the same, but the name and logo of the company are changed, and unlike the heavily armed South African mastiff of the umbrella, the symbol of the delta is a yellow lightning bolt, which is extremely impressive.
"Although our company has just been established, it has already been successfully demonstrated, and Anglo American Petroleum is our customer - oh, now Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company, if Anglo American Petroleum had chosen our services before, then they probably would not have lost Khuzstan." Leo Fowler actively strives for a penny, you get what you pay for, and the Anglo-Iranian oil company's choice of delta is actually a protection fee, otherwise the Anglo-Iranian oil company can only withdraw from the Middle East.
While Hussein Kemal was undecided, Roque and members of the Military Observer Mission were slowly approaching Port Elizabeth on the southern African liner Afrikanerika.
Most of the members of the Military Observer Mission were visiting Port Elizabeth for the first time, but their attention was not on the scenery of the port, but on the two destroyers of the Southern African Navy, the Tracker and the Pursuer, who escorted the escort.
Since entering the Persian Gulf, the two destroyers have escorted the escort all the way, and compared with the British destroyers, the "Tracker" and "Pursuer" have a more streamlined appearance, faster speed, and more powerful firepower, which is of great interest to the members of the Military Observer Mission.
"There is no pressure from the sea in southern Africa, the role of warships is mainly to escort, so there is no need for dreadnoughts and battlecruisers, if divided according to the standards of the Royal Navy, the flagship is only light cruisers, destroyers of this class are equipped with 465-mm torpedoes, which can also pose a threat to battleships." Roque also sells very hard, the British Royal Navy is also a customer of Edward's Shipyard, and Edward's Shipyard will be able to deliver aircraft carriers this year, and Edward's Shipyard has begun laying a second one.
"It is already possible to build warships in southern Africa?" Unbeknownst to George White, the Royal Navy had become a customer of Edward's shipyards.
"Yes, it was OK a few years ago, when it was against two German warships in the North Sea." Roque put the blame on the Germans, and it was really not that Southern Africa had ambitions.
"But you're now able to build an aircraft carrier, and one will sell for £2,800,000—" George White had been at home for the past few years, and did not know much about the situation in southern Africa, but Clark Bell knew very well.
Just as the shipyards in the UK have to continue to increase the cost of building dreadnoughts, the Edwards shipyard's aircraft carriers also have additional costs, from 2.48 million at the beginning, to 2.6 million later, and then to 2.8 million now, the cost has greatly exceeded the previous contract price.
However, unlike the local shipyards that are trying to make money, the reason why the price of aircraft carriers continues to soar is rooted in the continuous improvement of carrier-based aircraft by the Nyasaland Aviation Group, and each improvement will increase the cost by a little.
"That's because aircraft carriers are really worth 2.8 million." Roque is not afraid that the Admiralty will not, aircraft carriers have shown sufficient potential, and it is impossible for Britain to ignore the role of aircraft carriers if it wants to safeguard its maritime interests.
"How many destroyers do you have now?" Clark Bell does not dwell on this issue, it is not within his remit, Clark Bell is concerned with the combat effectiveness of Southern Africa.
"Less than twenty ships, and you know, we don't have a threat from the sea." Roque honestly said that under the wing of the Royal Navy, Southern Africa did not need a strong navy, and if it really necessary, Edward Shipyard could be ready to go at full speed.
"Too little—" Clark Bell shook his head, twenty destroyers, not enough to escort the ship.
Enough for Southern Africa, of course.
"Lord, welcome to Port Elizabeth—" Waiting on the docks to greet Roque were Terrance Carroll and Tommy Hubbard, senior managers of the Umbrella Company and Adan Corporation, respectively, who were tasked with handling the various ushers.
Although the heads of Umbrella and Adan on the peninsula are Don and Leed, but nominally, the heads of Umbrella and Adan are Terence Carroll and Tommy Hubbard, which is also the political correctness of this era, the Chinese are indeed becoming more and more important in southern Africa, but the nominal heads of large enterprises are white, which is also to dilute the influence of the Chinese in southern Africa.
If you want to change this, unless one day Roque becomes the prime minister of southern Africa, then the Chinese can really raise their eyebrows in southern Africa, and there is no need to hide their eyes and ears like this.
"Good work, Terrence - Tommy, you seem to be fat again, and it looks like the food here is good." Roque is very relaxed on his own turf, and when he was in Egypt, Roque had to keep one eye open even when he slept.
This is really not an exaggeration, Roque has made countless enemies now, it is estimated that many people hope that Roque will die violently, considering the British record in this regard, Roque will never overestimate the moral bottom line of the British.
"If you ignore the sun and the desert here, Port Elizabeth is really good." Tommy Hubbard, a professional manager from France, and Terrence Carroll are well aware of their roles and never exceed the norm in their respective roles, which makes Roque very satisfied.
There was a great battle on the docks, and all the people who had a nod face in Port Elizabeth were present, and Don hurried back to Port Elizabeth from Huzestan.
Next to the trestle is a guard of honor composed of mercenaries from the umbrella company, all of them are carefully selected white mercenaries, almost all of them are about 1.8 meters tall, and there are salutes temporarily modified by Miss Qiwu not far away, which are absolutely high standards and strict requirements.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Roque and the members of the Military Observer Corps drove to the Pantheon, the headquarters of Adan Corporation, to rest, and in the evening they attended a banquet in Port Elizabeth to host the Military Observer Mission.
Roque didn't have time to rest, so he arranged for the other members of the Military Observer Group, and Tang En and Li De had to report to Roque about their work, mainly because of the current situation in Huzestan.
"More and more information indicates that Khuzestan may have huge reserves of oil fields, reserves should be no less than Port Elizabeth, we have now filled all the oil wells and banned development, and the whole of Khuzestan is classified as an epidemic area, the situation in Khuzestan is indeed very serious, last month there was a serious outbreak of plague in Isfahan next to Khuzestan, some villages have all died, and all Persian troops have withdrawn from Khuzstan." The situation reported by Don is shocking, there will be a great plague after the great disaster, and the Persians are really unlucky.
