What people never expected was that the Ottoman Empire lost this time faster than the end of the military exercises in southern Africa, originally after the end of the Balkan War, the military observation mission sent by southern Africa has been withdrawn to southern Africa, and now that the war has broken out again, the Ministry of Defense will definitely continue to send military observation missions, but this time the military observation team has not yet arrived in the Balkans, and the Ottoman Empire has been defeated again and sued for peace.
This result is really a big surprise, the defeat in the North African war, you can use the fire in the backyard as an excuse, the defeat in the first Balkan war, you can also use the lack of preparation for two-front operations as an excuse, the result has already begun to enter the negotiation process and take the initiative to provoke the war, and then lose so quickly, and also take the initiative to sue for peace, this, military commentators all over the world know how to evaluate.
It's unfair to huskies to say anything about the country.
Roque was not surprised at all when he learned the news, the Ottoman Empire was like this, and it would not change in another hundred years, even if it was halfway through the negotiations this time, and there was another coup d'état in the Ottoman Empire, and then the Ottoman Empire was going to fight again, Roque would not be surprised.
When the Balkans became a pot of porridge, the two river basins were also a pot of porridge.
Originally, it was just a rebellion of the Bábs in Persia, but now it has evolved into a melee that affects the entire two river basins, the war situation in Ahvaz in Persia is complicated, the Báb rebels are rising and falling, the troops of the Persian Kingdom are exhausted, coupled with the mercenaries of major oil companies, as well as the local forces of Ahvaz, the oil exploitation of the entire Ahvaz has come to a standstill, and after the umbrella company took the lead in withdrawing Ahvaz, many oil companies such as Royal Shell and Standard Oil have also withdrawn, Only the Anglo-American oil companies, which were unwilling to withdraw, were still holding on.
However, it is estimated that it will not last long, compared with the cost of oil wells, the cost of hiring security personnel is also high, Anglo American does not hire security personnel from the umbrella company, the mercenaries of the umbrella company are too expensive Anglo American oil company cannot afford to hire, Anglo American oil company is colluding with the senior monks of Ahvaz, hiring Cossacks to form their own security team to protect the Anglo American oil company in Ahvaz.
Whatever the outcome, at least on the surface, Anglo American Petroleum can now dominate Ahvaz's fields.
However, this result did not make Anglo American Petroleum happy, although there was mercenary protection, and for a while it seemed that there was no danger, but most of the oil well workers had fled, and oil production had dropped to less than 100 barrels per day, and Ahvaz could not be shipped after being dug up.
Like Umbrella, Royal Shell and Standard Oil crews have been evacuated to Port Elizabeth to wait and see what happens, and Port Elizabeth has once again attracted attention from the outside world.
Jeffrey Kiprin of Standard Oil and Rex Lascoe of Royal Shell temporarily lived in the Rhodesia Hotel in Port Elizabeth during this time, standing on the sea-view balcony of the hotel, you can clearly see that an Adan oil tanker is loading, a cargo ship is unloading at the berth next to it, and there are new immigrants walking down the ramp of a cruise ship at the berth next to it, and in the outer harbor farther away, a brand-new destroyer is cruising outside the port, and the volume of more than 1,000 tons is not worth mentioning in Europe. But in the Persian Gulf, it is a giant that can walk sideways.
"Sooner or later, the locust-like Chinese will steal everything from us." Reske Lascoe, who is half British, also expressed concern about the situation in Port Elizabeth.
Port Elizabeth is a port born entirely for oil, after the expulsion of the Persians, southern Africans became the masters of Port Elizabeth, the proportion of Chinese is staggering, the Chinese here are mainly technicians and port staff, the security personnel are mostly Gurkhas, and the whites are mostly mercenaries of the umbrella company, and their skin color is more conducive to foreign operations.
Specific to the Rhodesia Hotel, the managers and chefs here are all Chinese, the security captain is a Slav with a big beard and a big beard, and the waiters and waitresses are mostly from Persia, especially those charming Persian maids, I heard that you can buy one for ten pounds in remote areas, all of them are already in the twentieth century, and there is actually a slave trade, which is really fragrant!
"Come on, Port Elizabeth was not built by you British, and it is estimated that only this name here has anything to do with your Britain." Jeffrey Kipling comes from the United States, which is also made up of immigrants, and he is quite objective about immigration.
In fact, in the United States, the situation of Chinese Americans is also very bad, and now that the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is still in effect, the status of Chinese in the United States is a little better than that of Indians, and even black people in the United States are inferior.
Regardless of the conditions of blacks, at least blacks are now nominally emancipated, no longer slaves, but officially recognized Americans.
In the United States, Jeffrey Kiplin never faced up to the contribution of the Chinese community to the United States, and Jeffrey Kiplin did not even know the role played by the Chinese in the construction of the Pacific Railroad.
I have to say that the Chinese are indeed a very good group, because of all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred of the United States, now in Europe, there is a general rejection attitude towards Americans, restaurants in Paris will openly hang out "do not accept Americans" signs, hotels in the United Kingdom have special American dining areas, in Port Elizabeth, Jeffrey Kiplin will not be ridiculed in all kinds of tricks because of his American English, this is the first time that Jeffrey Kipling feels friendly to strangers outside the United States.
"Don't be complacent, sooner or later the Chinese will rob you Americans of everything, have you ever been to Southern Africa? Look at Port Elizabeth today, which is the prototype of the future world. Reske Lasko was chatting while trying to count how many people had disembarked from the cruise ship, which had about 500 new immigrants on a ship and three cruise ships arriving in Port Elizabeth every day, which had been going on for a week.
If this intensity is maintained, nearly 50,000 new immigrants will arrive in Port Elizabeth every month.
This data made Reske Lascoe deeply worried, the Chinese have now occupied Port Elizabeth and are moving deeper into the valley of the two rivers, Basra now has nearly 10,000 Chinese, and further afield Ahvaz and Baghdad have Chinese involvement, and at this rate, the two valleys will become Chinese colonies in less than a year.
The "colony" here must be a compliment, the population base of the Chinese is here, and the development of the land can be completed without relying on the local aborigines, which is the biggest advantage of the Chinese.
With the migration of the Chinese and the frequent conflicts with the Persians in the two river valleys, the mercenaries of the umbrella company played a huge role at this time, and many immigrant families were originally mercenary families, and their relationship was inextricably linked.
It is only when you come to the peninsula that you know, although most of the interior of the peninsula is desert, but the two river basins are really not a wild place in the traditional sense, Basra is known as the "Venice of the East", which shows the prosperity of the waterway canal, but the current Basra is not the future Basra, and the port in the modern sense will not start until the outbreak of the First World War and the British occupation of Basra.
At this time, it is estimated that the British army will not have a chance to occupy Basra, and the Umbrella Company will be determined to win the entire two river basins, and everyone else will have to stand aside.
"What's so bad about Port Elizabeth that you can't forget?" Jeffrey Kiplin didn't like Reske Lasco's attitude, and the attitude of the vested interests towards the new forces was always disgusting.
Although the situation of the Chinese in the United States is not good, the reputation of southern Africa in the United States is still good, Hoover has now become the agent of southern Africa in the United States, the power of capital is formidable, the newspapers in the United States are full of hype about southern Africa, and the goods of southern Africa are also sought after in the American market, after all, southern Africa is still part of the United Kingdom, and everything related to Britain will be sought after in the United States, even those children of the broken aristocracy will become the best marriage partners of Wall Street tycoons.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say Port Elizabeth was bad." Leske Lasko was taken aback by Jeffrey Kiplin's words, some things can't be said nonsense, yesterday in the bar downstairs, there was an Italian because he openly expressed discrimination against the Chinese, and was thrown out by other guests and the bartender after being beaten very impolitely, if the hotel management knew Reske Lascoe's attitude towards Port Elizabeth, then it is estimated that Reske Lasko would also be kicked out of the hotel.
The customer is God does not exist in these days, think about who is behind the scenes of the Rhodesia Hotel, although Royal Shell and the South African company have no business dealings, but they should also be respectful to the South African company.
The British government can ignore Cecil Rhodes's contribution to the United Kingdom, Royal Shell does not have this qualification, don't look at Royal Shell under the banner of "Royal", South African companies have the whole of southern Africa behind them.
Now in Port Elizabeth, there is only one hotel, the Rhodesia Hotel, and the hotel is directly opposite the imposing Pantheon, and the background is self-evident.
"Shh
This is the reason why Americans are not popular, Europe does have a prejudice against the United States, and the unkempt and arrogant attitude of the Americans is also part of the reason, the Americans probably think that this is a sign of cheerfulness and sunshine, but in the eyes of the old Europeans this is uneducated.
It's the same as the United States.
