Chapter 330: The Persian Gulf

"Well, let them move freely, how does it feel to be on the Pirate Coast?" In the study, Li Zitao talked on the phone with a bright smile.

"Boss, the sunshine here is great. The Pirate Coast is two centuries ago." Looking at the beach in the room, the monk said with a smile.

"It seems that you have learned a lot of history. How did you talk with President Trusil Oman?"

Trucil Oman, after 1968, has another golden name 'United Arab Emirates. '

The training course developed by Wang Dagou himself in West Africa is now the course of the "Alpha Rapid Mobile Team", with the monk as the chief instructor.

The new training base was established in the Emirate of Sharjah in Trusil Oman.

In West Africa, in the virgin forest of Komoai, the training of the "Ghost Squad" is in charge of the first-generation Ghost Squad members.

Samode returned to West Africa. The most important thing was not to guard the mine, but to establish a West African branch belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Letting the monk go to Sharjah naturally has only one purpose. Li Zitao aimed at the oil reserves in the Persian Gulf.

He doesn't know when oil was discovered in the Persian Gulf Strait, but at least it hasn't been discovered yet.

The nine emirates are currently under the protection of country Y. To put it bluntly, they are the overseas colonies of country Y. This is good news for Li Zitao.

At least when negotiating with the chiefs, his marquis status will play a certain role, and the general representative in Sharjah can also provide appropriate help.

This time Li Zitao has a big appetite. He wants to obtain a series of rights such as oil surveying, mining, and transportation in the "protected country" at one time.

"Boss, the chief representative said that our appetite is too great." The monk smiled wryly.

In the eyes of the Nine Chiefs, this is more than just a big appetite, it is simply an act of robbers.

It’s okay if there is no oil, but once the oil is produced, the benefits involved are measured in billions.

Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman, Oman, Qatar.

It is the nine protected emirates, and it is also the colony that country Y controlled the coast of the Persian Gulf in the early 20th century.

"Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, these four must be obtained, if not, give up Sharjah."

Then the two discussed the specific details in detail, and compromise is the most advantageous weapon.

In the 1930s, Sharjah and Oman were the areas that attracted the most attention.

In comparison, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Qatar seem inconspicuous.

Even in the future, Qatar appears to be very low-key, but this future has not joined the United Arab Emirates and declared an independent country, richer than Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

More importantly, Qatar has the extremely important Strait of Hormuz, the only sea channel for oil in the Gulf region to be exported to all parts of the world in the future.

It will also become one of the busiest waterways in the world, known as the 'world's important throat. '

The herringbone-shaped bay waterway, coupled with the reefs in the channel, makes it difficult for any large ship to pass here.

This also facilitates military deployment and control. Once someone stops this throat in the future, global oil prices can instantly create tens of billionaires in the stock market.

"The Qatar region must be won, and you can communicate privately with the Al Thani family. All the initial investment will be in charge of Alaska Standard Oil.

Once the oil is discovered, they can get 25% of the oil field shares. My reserve price is 35%. "

Li Zitao still needs to consider appeasing the emotions of country Y, he knows very well that there will be oil here.

There is also natural gas with the third largest reserves in the world, more than the combined reserves of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

But even so, it couldn't compare to Country Y's friendly attitude towards him.

Not to mention that it is the 1930s before World War II, country Y still has a strong national strength and a large number of overseas colonies.

Even in the 21st century, who would really dare to ignore the influence of Country Y.

Li Zitao must weigh the scales here, neither excessively harming his own interests,

It can further shorten the relationship between the two parties.

As for the godson relationship between his fiancée and King George and Queen Mary, he needs to handle the issues carefully.

After sitting in the office and thinking for a long time, Li Zitao decided to give up 14% of the profit.

If the Big Y Empire can facilitate the passage of this agreement, he can give up 14% of the shares in the future Gulf Oilfield.

"Rush, get your people ready, we are going to visit Buckingham Palace." Li Zitao planned to meet His Royal Highness George V in person.

After talking on the phone with their fiancée in Washington, the two departed from Washington and Chicago respectively, and met at the London airport.

"There are oil reserves in the Gulf?" Sitting in the carriage, Adelaide rubbed the corners of her eyes wearily.

The constant debate with Congress these days, hearings, speeches, and various proofs consumed her a lot of energy.

"Honey, I heard you were questioned at the hearing, maybe I should protest this,

As one of the largest taxpayers in America, I don't want them to use their money to embarrass my fiancée. "

What Li Zitao said is quite reasonable. The people and the government are always in conflict. This is the characteristic of the United States.

As early as the founding of the People's Republic of China, the founding fathers thought about how to keep this "government monster" created by people from getting out of control.

Thus, with the "Declaration of Liberty", with the "three-point right", with the government prohibiting meddling in any industry, wealth can only be obtained through taxation.

This is the reason why taxes in the United States are always high, and why the people are always happy to monitor every move of the government.

"What stupid things are those damn officials doing with my money?" Every American citizen, from the rich to the common people, would think so.

Because this is their right, they pay a high price for it, 30-45% of their annual income.

Even more is handed over to the government. Of course I have the right to know where you spend your money. What do you officials who hold my money do every day?

There was a very interesting interview a few days ago. A reporter from the "Washington Post" interviewed the public and asked about a child from a wealthy family.

Li Zitao was shocked by his words, "They have money but can't do their jobs well. We should fire them all."

This is the American thought. Although it is still immature, it can be said that this thought is being extended to the next generation, and Li Zitao has also spontaneously transferred to the same role.

And the reason why he was able to hear the hearing of his fiancée was because the nearest Radio 5 in Chicago had just launched a new broadcast.

24-hour broadcast of hearings of Congress and government agencies, whether it is the government's budget, establishment or elimination of programs, foreign affairs, domestic affairs.

All measures will be placed under the scrutiny of the press and the public.

Of course, there are bound to be opacities in such a move, but this is undoubtedly an improvement.

Countless news outlets have again thanked the 'Neill suit' for this reform.
