Volume 3 Aftermath 26 Kuwaiti sheikhs don't know the goods!

The armed men of the William, led by the few remaining pirates, smashed the pirate's den in one fell swoop, calculating a windfall

Situ Nan was surprised that there was a crew member named Robinson on the William, who was the captain of the ship's guards, and it was his masterpiece to command the William to sweep through three pirate ships.

When I asked, I learned that this guy used to be a second lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, and his desire to join the army was to make up for his father's regret that he couldn't catch up with the naval battles of the Spanish-American War in the last century. Well, another guy poisoned by the ideas of Colonel Mahan.

The World War excites Robinson, who has always been eager to fight the German Navy, but unfortunately he is placed in a transport ship and fails to fire a single shot.

After the war, Robinson retired disappointed and came to the William a few months later. Robinson liked the William's ample preparation (firepower), but unfortunately it was only the plaything of the rich, and it did not give Robinson the opportunity to realize his desire to participate in a naval battle, and he always considered himself a buried genius.

What Robinson didn't expect was that after arriving in the Persian Gulf, the stupid pirates who had been in the Persian Gulf had allowed him to command a battle happily. Although insignificant, in Robinson's view, it was a rare sparkle of his talent

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Robles walked up to Stuart like a victorious general. He didn't see Situ Nan much, but he knew that the young boss was very powerful, and he came and went with a group of bodyguards, who were even more skilled than himself, the boxing champion of the Annapolis Naval Academy.

"Hey, if I hadn't drunk too much that time and molested the principal's newly married wife, I wouldn't have been sent to a transport ship, or I would have been on a U.S. Navy warship today." Robinson sighed inwardly.

He regretted it a little, why didn't he just give the principal's sweetheart in the first place? No matter how you look at it, it looks like the other party is tempting you.

"What are you thinking, Mr. Robinson?" Situ Nan looked curiously at the white strong man in front of him with a straight waist, crisp and meticulous.

"Oh? It's nothing" Robinson shook his head, came back to his senses, and looked at Situ Nan indifferently, "Mr. William, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”

"Your table last night was very good, I'm very satisfied that this is a reward package, what do you think?" Situ Nan smiled and put a copy of the article on the other side.

Robinson opened it and saw that it was a reward for all the crew members last night, with $10 for the ship's sweepers and $100 to $2,000 for those who participated in the battle. The highest of these is Robinson himself.

"Very generous, Mr. William," Robles smiled slightly, and then said calmly, "our firepower is much stronger than the other side, and victory is certain." ”

"Yes. But you first discovered theirs, and you also arranged the battle, and you have the greatest credit. Situ Nan laughed.

He thinks that this Robinson's retired navy is really good, calm, and has an atmosphere, and he is a person with a bit of a story.

"Mr. Robinson, do you like the navy, or war?" Situ Nan asked suddenly. His eyes were fixed on the other party, and from the calm and determined gaze of the other party, he seemed to be able to feel a persistent heart.

"Huh?" Robinson was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Maybe, I just like the sea, I like to fight on the sea, and that will give me a sense of conquest." ”

"Not a bad idea, but I often dream of sailing all over the ocean." Situ Nan nodded, and said, "I know that there is a place where they are short of people like you, are you willing to go?" ”。

"Sir?" Robinson looked at Situ Nan suspiciously.

"That's right. In Malacca, there are very many pirates there, and our company's ships are often encountered by pirates there, so I would like to send competent men to protect our merchant ships. Situ Nan explained.

"If that's the case, I'll gladly accept it." Robinson replied briskly. Going to the West Indies to fight pirates on armed merchant ships is much more exciting than staying on the William. Although the William is good in every way.

"Well, then, I'll arrange it for you when our ship gets there. The sailors you've trained are good, hopefully you'll keep trying, and some of the best lads might become your men. Situ Nan smiled. ???????

The pirates of the Persian Gulf were just a minor episode in the journey. After a day's delay, the William finally arrived at the port of Kuwait.

There are not many good ports in the Persian Gulf region, and Kuwait is one of them. As the main cargo distribution port in the Persian Gulf, Arab merchants have been starting from here for thousands of years, carrying goods to Asia and Africa to trade, and also bringing their religious customs to all parts of the world, and then shipping back to China silk, porcelain, spices, African ivory and gold and other goods, creating a legend of Arab merchants.

After the opening of the new shipping routes, the westerly winds rose eastward, and the prosperous Arab merchants declined, and their sailing ships were replaced by the steamships of European merchants, and finally became a dumping ground and source of raw materials for Western colonists, although Kuwait was not an important role in economic status, but only a bridgehead for the British to penetrate into the interior of the Arabian Peninsula.

In the envy of others, the luxurious figure of the William slowly sailed into Kuwait Harbor.

There is no endless stream of oil tankers, and there are no dense oil pipes on the wharf, just a very ordinary port.

The dock was so dirty and messy that Situ Nan didn't even want to go ashore. Because looking at the poor and backward Kuwait on the shore, Situ Nan couldn't help but think of the beautiful and rich city he saw when he came to Kuwait on a business trip in his previous life.

the winds of change

Situ Nan thought of the word again.

What has not changed is the volatile situation in the Middle East. In addition to oil, it is located at the junction of Asia, Europe and Africa, and has always been a stage for major powers to show their strength.

Before arriving in Kuwait, Situ Nan studied Kuwait and nearby Saudi formations. There is no doubt that Kuwait is now unremarkable.

Not so long ago, Kuwait was just a county in the Turkish Ottoman province of Basra. If it weren't for the port, this small county wouldn't have been noticed.

The British set up a consulate here, but there were few officials, and there was only one company of listless British soldiers, and if Situ Nan had the intention to attack, he would have taken the land without much effort.

The weather was too hot, and the scorching sun made people not interested in outdoor activities, so Situ Nan had to stay on the boat, at least the boat was air-conditioned.

There were some British merchants in Kuwait, who were very interested in the William, and invited the William to meet in the evening in the county town of Kuwait.

Situ Nan was not interested, and after realizing that his rank was too high, he did not plan to personally contact the "township cadres" in Kuwait.

The heat was uncomfortable, and what worried Situ Nan was that his son Little Andy had a cold, which almost scared him.

Fortunately, there are family doctors on board and various advanced medical facilities, which reassures Situ Nan a lot, and little Andy's situation is not strict.

It's just that Laura complained a little that Situ Nan ran to this ghost place in the Persian Gulf, and there was no entertainment for her to see. Not only did he encounter pirates, but he also made his baby son sick.

Situ Nan paid for it, and urged Lin Yimin to buy those oil fields as soon as possible, although Lin Yimin himself had no bottom in his heart.

Lin Yimin attended the banquet in place of Situ Nan, his yellow skin and black eyes surprised the British and Kuwaiti Arabian snakes, but he was able to get out of the luxurious cruise ship, and he spoke fluent American English, which made people think that he was a hidden rich man.

As an American businessman, Lin Yimin bought a small port called Mina Ahmadi with little effort, and at the same time bought 2,000 hectares of land near the port of Mina Ahmadi in one go.

It was all desert land, and it was of little value except for a few jujube trees where there was water.

The Kuwaiti sheikh was surprised by Lin Yimin's generosity as an American businessman, but was even happier that he generously offered $10,000.

Hell, a desert can be sold for that much money? Americans are really stupid with money

The chief, who had never made more than five figures in the bank, was so excited that he thought about it and thought that he should save more land, so he offered to transfer more land.

Under the care of the Kuwaiti sheikh who was almost forced to sell, Lin Yimin was so enthusiastic that he had to reluctantly accept another 2,000 hectares of desert that the sheikh had forced over.

Lin Yimin's generosity attracted the attention of the British, and someone actually spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of desert? They thought it was strange, but they couldn't say why.

Looking at the luxurious cruise ship anchored in the harbor, they could only comfort themselves: "The temper of rich people is really strange, they have too much money, and they like to spend it profligately." "Well, Kuwait has never been to a luxury cruise ship like the William.

It's not that the British haven't tried Lin Yimin, but they have all been prevaricated by Lin Yimin's construction materials. In order to hide people's eyes, Lin Yimin soon built a building materials factory near Mina Ahmadi Port, hired some Kuwaiti farmers, and by the way, also built a small port of Mina Ahmadi. Gradually, over time, the locals began to get used to it.

Situ Nan did not come forward at all, hiding in the room to take care of his son.

Listening to Lin Yimin's return, he laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

"That chief thinks you're wronged and wants to sell you? People, it is really ignorance that makes it easy to be happy. Situ Nan said with a smile.

I wondered if the chief would regret it when he found out that he had sold the world's second largest oil field, Kuwait's ATM, the tens of trillions of dollars worth of the Great Burgan oil field, and the world's largest oil port for a few tens of thousands of dollars.

Will there be retribution for bullying ignorance like this?

Situ Nan's conscience was a little discovered, but when he thought that when Europe first arrived in Africa, those missionaries exchanged two pumpkins for the aboriginal people's big bag of diamonds and gold, and he was better than those missionaries 15 levels of disgust Liao Ma Ji Qin prostitute kite cockle blowing mold 嬀 appeared in the curtain, so the sheath was about to consume Yue Gong to recruit Ding k block the ass to send an apology Luan 銮醭ふ诒 Che Bai about the consumption of Wu? br/>

Thinking of this, it was even more determined that Situ Nan would carry out this righteous transaction.
