460 Chieftains

The current Kuwait City is obviously not in line with Roque's positioning in Kuwait, so with the arrival of the umbrella company in Kuwait City, the renovation of Kuwait City will also begin immediately.

However, the work was not easy, Kuwait was located in a desert area with few materials to use, David and Carl Fox were not in the mood to destroy the few trees around the port, and all the building materials had to be transported from southern Africa, but David and Carl Fox had a lot of work to do before the building materials and construction workers arrived in Kuwait City.

It was mainly David's job, Carl Fox had to explore for oil, he didn't have the time or authority to deal with these things, and the logistics and security aspects were all David's work.

Sitting in what was supposed to belong to the sheriff's office, David immediately issued a series of orders.

The first is that all the buildings around the port will be demolished, and now these residents of Kuwait City will also have to be resettled in other areas, but before that, they will have to work for the umbrella company in exchange for the opportunity to settle in other areas.

"How many people are there in Kuwait now?" Davy was still concerned about how many people were available to call.

"Kuwait City, about 3,000, or 4,000, all of Kuwait - 10,000, or 20,000, who knows, no one counts how many ants there are in a litter, and the chiefs here will not cooperate with the investigation, and if we were to verify the population, they will think that we are going to levy a population tax—" The tax collector replied looking up in his busy schedule, Carl Fox was diligently urging him to drink, and the sheriff was munching, God knows how long it had been since they had eaten a real Western meal.

Chieftain –

Probably the future royal family.

Using the word royal family to describe the sheikhs of Kuwait, it is estimated that none of the members of the British royal family will agree.

When Britain expanded its colonies around the world, it didn't know how many chiefs it had killed, and tribes like Kuwait, with thousands of people, were used as slaves in Africa, and there was basically no difference between chieftains and tribal members in the eyes of whites.

It was also the time when Kuwait had no interest at all, so these tribes were able to survive until after the discovery of oil.

However, in Roque's plan, there was no room for these chiefs, and the British had to use the natives of the colonies to develop the colonies, so there was only one sheriff and one tax collector in the whole of Kuwait City.

There is no shortage of people in Nyasaland, there are more and more Chinese in southern Africa, and labor needs to be hired directly from southern Africa, but if it is not good, there are Gurkha people to use, then these tribes in Kuwait will be tragic, they probably do not have the opportunity to live a luxurious and profligate life in another time and space.

According to Roque's plan, after the Umbrella Company relocates its base in Nepal to Kuwait City, the tribes in Kuwait will be directly sent to Nepal by the Umbrella Company for resettlement.

It may sound like a fair exchange, but given the current situation in Kuwait, I'm afraid that the indigenous tribesmen here will be more than happy, after all, a place where even basic water for survival is not guaranteed, it is indeed impossible to arouse a strong sense of homeland.

However, this is only Roque's plan, and when it is implemented, it will also depend on the situation, such as the umbrella company to transform Kuwait, and at this stage, it is inseparable from the help of local natives.

While David and Carl Fox were feasting on the sheriff and the tax collector, the Umbrella Company mercenaries were already in contact with the residents of Kuwait City.

"Want to have a full meal? Then come and work at Umbrella, which has fresh fruit, clean water, and delicious food, have you ever seen this? It's called apples, it's delicious, come have one, I promise you'll love apples—" The Umbrella company interpreter held an apple to tempt the surrounding residents.

It may seem comical, but the reality is that these natives may not have seen apples until now, and even for the chiefs here, apples are a luxury.

Think of the fact that when white people first landed in Africa and America, a cheap glass ball could be exchanged for gold and precious stones, and that scene was more comical, but it was all history.

In contrast to the ragged and withered natives, the well-dressed mercenaries with heavily armed guns were the standard imperialist image.

As soon as the mercenaries came ashore, there were many local natives around the harbor, David and Carl Fox went to the sheriff's office, and there were still a lot of supplies to unload on the ship, so the interpreter would tempt the inhabitants with apples.

Even if you give money, you can't buy anything good in a place like Kuwait City.

The power of the apple is still very strong, and the surrounding residents immediately rushed to it, and the interpreter immediately became scrambled.

"Don't worry, come in line one by one-" The interpreter's voice was obviously too weak, and the whip in the mercenary's hand was still good, and the order on the scene finally stabilized.

The next step, of course, is not to hand out apples, but to work first, and only after doing the work can you get paid.

With the help of these local residents, the unloading of goods was greatly accelerated, and various supplies soon piled up in the open space near the improvised dock.

The sheriff looked at the lively scene in front of him and kindly reminded David: "You have to send someone to guard it, otherwise these people will surprise you early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hehe, I'll surprise them first-" David didn't talk nonsense, not far from the port, a simple makeshift camp was being erected, tents that could be set up quickly, fences around the camp, and heavy machine gun emplacements piled with sandbags were being built, starting tomorrow, David would clean up the buildings around the port until the entire Kuwait City was demolished, and then Kuwait would be Kuwait that belonged entirely to the Umbrella Company.

That's right, Roque bought Kuwait not in the name of Southern Africa, but in the name of the umbrella, so that Kuwait of course belongs to the umbrella company and has nothing to do with the federal government of Southern Africa.

As for whether the umbrella company can protect its interests in Kuwait, Roque has never been worried about this question.

Kuwait during this period was theoretically still part of the Ottoman Empire, but the Ottoman Empire, with a total area of 5.5 million square kilometers, obviously did not pay much attention to Kuwait, in recent years, the Ottoman Empire and Italy, France because of the North African colonies, France invaded Algeria and Tunisia, Italy is seeking Tripolitania and Cyrene, since 1880, Italy began to actively emigrate to Tripolitania and Cyrene, merchants are constantly buying land, Navy officers changed into fishermen's clothes and carried out coastal surveys in the name of fishing for sponges off the coast of Tripolitania, while Catholic priests went deep into the interior to gather intelligence in the name of missionary work.

Therefore, the current situation of the Ottoman Empire does not allow the Ottoman Empire to start a war at will.

The Russo-Turkish War, which lasted for more than 200 years, greatly depleted the strength of the Ottoman Empire, which continued to expand its territory during the war, while the Ottoman Empire was losing and had to unite the forces of Britain and France against Russia.

This also led to the great loss of Ottoman interests in North Africa, and it was on this premise that Algeria and Egypt were occupied by France and Britain respectively.

Like Kuwait, although Algeria and Egypt were nominally still Ottoman territories, the Ottoman Empire had given up its interests in these two regions in exchange for the support of Britain and France in the Russo-Turkish War.

Southern Africa is still a Commonwealth country, and it is common for umbrella companies to buy land directly, so Roque has not worried about whether the Ottoman Empire will interfere after buying Kuwait.

In the eyes of others, the Ottoman Empire is still one of the world's leading powers, but for Britain, the Ottoman Empire is just an old and dying giant.

In Europe, the Ottoman Empire had a nickname called "The Sick Man of Europe", so the Ottoman Empire's position in the world can be experienced by itself.

The next day, the sheriff and the tax collector left Kuwait by boat, and David and Carl Fox immediately went to work.

Carl Fox was primarily responsible for oil exploration, and David's primary responsibility was to renovate Kuwait City, and to prepare logistics and security for future oil exploration and oil development.

The renovation of Kuwait City began with the sheikhs mentioned by the tax collector.

Similar to the African tribal chieftain in David's impression, the chief who appeared in front of David was also dark-skinned and ragged, and looked no different from other natives.

David didn't talk nonsense and made his own request directly to the chief.

"Tear down the whole of Kuwait City?" The chief probably didn't expect Davy to make such a request.

"Yes, tear down the whole of Kuwait, and if you cooperate with my work, then I will give you a sum of money to settle in any country in the world; If you don't cooperate—" Davy didn't talk nonsense, and directly pulled out his pistol and began wiping.

The chief made the right choice right away.

It's really not okay if you don't cooperate, while David coerced and lured the chief, the translator of the umbrella company was busy using all kinds of small favors to envelop the indigenous people of Kuwait City, even if the chief did not agree, with the temptation of various foods, the umbrella company could completely empty the chief.

At that point, it didn't really matter whether there was a chief or not.

At the same time that David began to renovate Kuwait City, two freighters loaded with various supplies were slowly sailing out of Port Edward, and at the same time, a second group of 1,500 mercenaries from Nepal was also embarking in Calcutta, India, and their destination was Kuwait City.
