The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 271

When they met, Situ Nan and Ibn Saud said at the same time.

After speaking, the two smiled knowingly, and said to their hearts: It turns out that the other party is also a person who is used to giving orders. Only in this way can they take the initiative to talk.

After some greetings, Situ Nan suddenly said something that moved Ibn Saudi Arabia-"I can make you the king of Saudi Arabia, the only king!"

Chapter 28 The Largest Oil Field-Saudi Arabia

After some greetings, Situ Nan suddenly said something that moved Ibn Saudi Arabia-"I can make you the king of Saudi Arabia, the only king!"

"Sounds great! Haha." Ibn Saud raised his brows and asked faintly, "Why?"

"Only I can provide you with this!" Situ Nan made a shot and took out a dollar from his pocket, believing himself, "And this!"

Ibn Saud's eyes flashed slightly, staring at Situ Nan, waiting for Situ Nan's text.

"I know that you are now preparing to fight against the Rashid family in the north, and the Kingdom of Hanzhi in the West is also your next goal. All these require arms, a large number of arms and other materials. And I just have everything you need. Things-guns or money."

Situ Nan looked at Ibn Saudi Arabia and knew that the other party was already tempted, and continued to add fire. "Maybe you don’t know. I have a very good relationship with American arms dealers. They have a lot of munitions, aircraft, warships, and artillery. There are all kinds of things, don’t you know what you’re interested in?"

"Oh? Mr. William, you are very nice. I don't know how much you can provide?" Ibn Saud asked.

"A teacher." Situ Nan held out a finger.

"A division?" Ibn Saudi Arabia was a little disappointed. Although a division of 10,000 guns is not enough, it is not enough to satisfy Ibn Saudi's ambitions.He plans to arm 100,000 troops to unify Saudi Arabia.

Looking at Ibn Saud who was a little disappointed, Situ Nan smiled in his heart and continued: "An American division's equipment, this is the first batch. If the cooperation is good, next time it will be 5 divisions."

"Really?" Ibn Saud leaned forward, almost standing up, staring at Situ Nan's face.

Ibn Saud knows that an American division generally has nearly 20,000 people, equipped with nearly 20,000 guns, hundreds of machine guns, and hundreds of cannons.The equipment of the six American divisions is enough to arm the Kingdom of Nezhi with hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops, sweep the Arabian Peninsula and dominate Saudi Arabia.

Seeing Situ Nan nodded with a smile, indifferent, Ibn Saud realized that the opportunity to unify Saudi Arabia might lie in the mysterious young man in front of him.

But there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no pie in the sky. Especially when dealing with these foreigners, they know every cent and every cent very clearly, and almost all aid is conditional.Ibn Saudi Arabia has long understood this point in his cooperation with the British.

What does this seemingly generous American businessman want?Ibn Saud thought to himself.

He tried to calm his excitement and calmly asked, "These should be qualified? William Shengsheng, what do you want?"

"Money!" Situ Nan replied decisively.

"Ahem..."

Ibn Shater paused for a moment, and he calculated it in his mind. An American M1903 rifle costs about $10. Equipped with an American division but the rifle costs $200,000. If you add more expensive machine guns and cannons, there is Ammunition, equipment maintenance, etc.... Doesn’t the equipment of the six American divisions cost millions of dollars?

Oh my!Not to mention six, but Ibn Saudi had no money to buy an American division equipment.

Ibn Saud swallowed with difficulty: "Our funds are not very rich, can we... first take credit, even part of it!"

Ibn Saud looked at Situ Nan eagerly, and it was so important to his career at this time.He looked at Situ Nan calmly, thinking that the other party should have something to follow.

"Your Majesty, I know you are short of money, so I didn't plan to let you out of it. As long as you promise me a small condition, I will give you an American division equipment, and you can also give you the others on credit." Situ Nan smiled slightly and said.Well, the fox's tail is finally revealed.

"What conditions?" Ibn Saud calmed down and asked.

"It's very simple, I need a piece of land. To be precise, it is a desert. You lease it to me for 100 years." Situ Nan finished speaking, looking at Ibn Saud, holding his breath.Well, it's up to you whether you can get the world's largest oil field-Garwar Oil Field.

"Where is that land?" Ibn Saud asked.

"On the west bank of the Persian Gulf, Riyadh is 500 kilometers east of the Gavar Desert."

Ibn Saud thought for a while, and did not have any impression of the place Situ Nan said. As Situ Nan said, it was just a desert.

It is undoubtedly very cost-effective to exchange a piece of desert for arms.But the scheming Ibn Saudi Arabia doesn't think much.He felt that this matter was not simple. Is there really gold hidden under those deserts?This crazy young man has bought thousands of hectares of land in Kuwait, and he wants to continue to buy land in Saudi Arabia?

Ibn Saud thought silently.

"Can you tell me why it fascinates you so much? Mr. William! This question is very important, I hope you can tell me." Ibn Saud looked at Situ Nan sincerely.

"This is a trade secret, no comment." Situ Nan smiled faintly, but remembered the life of Ibn Saudi Arabia, knowing that even without his own help, Ibn Saudi Arabia will still unify Saudi Arabia in a few years, and then Saudi Arabia will start from the United Kingdom. Independent in hands.

After independence, Saudi Arabia has always maintained a close relationship with the United States, and most of Saudi Arabia's oil fields have fallen into the hands of American oil companies.

Meat always falls in his own bowl. Rather than having a gap between the hearts of both sides in the future, how about being honest now?

Thinking of this, Situ Nan changed his mind and solemnly said: "It's oil!"

"Oil!" Ibn Saudi Arabia stood up in surprise, staring at Situ Nan with fiery eyes, and then sat down slowly when he felt a little gaffe.

"Your Majesty, I am an oil merchant. Now I propose to you cooperation on behalf of Occidental Petroleum. I hope you will grant us the oil exploration rights in Saudi Arabia. We will try our best to help you unify Saudi Arabia." Looking at Ibn Saud intently.

It was for oil!No wonder they are willing to spend such a large capital?Now there is another mysterious and powerful American Petroleum Company, and they all have taken a fancy to Saudi Arabia.

Ibn Saud thought to himself, and couldn't help but eagerly asked: "Is there really oil here?"

This question is too important.Although the Saudi family has already had a secret agreement with the British to sell the oil exploration rights in the territory to Britain.But the British have invested a lot in the past few years, but they have never seen a small oil field come out.

This makes Ibn Saudi Arabia both lucky and regretful.In any case, if Saudi Arabia is really rich in oil, the country's industrial development will be much smoother in the future.

"It's hard to say, the results will not be known until geological prospecting. However, I think there is, and I hope there is. It's a gamble! It's a gamble to win a profit, but it's no shame to lose."

Situ Nan smiled faintly, as if millions of dollars were not worth mentioning in his heart.

This attitude cooled Ibn Saudi's enthusiasm slightly, but he still decided to agree to Situ Nan's terms.

At present, the rule of the Saudi family is not reliable. Large and small tribes are independent. Foreigners can support the Saudi family as well as other families. Therefore, for Ibn Saudi Arabia, the most important thing at present is to unify the state and let the country and Only when the nation becomes independent will it be possible to bargain with foreign countries in the future.

"Mr. William, your frankness is touching. I can promise you to lease that piece of land to you, but you have to provide me with the equipment of the six American divisions."

Ibn Saud pretended to be in pain and said.

"No, didn't you say that the land was exchanged for an American division's equipment? Unless you exchange the entire Saudi oil exploration rights, it will not be worth the equipment of the six American divisions." Situ Nan shook his head, seemingly bargaining. , I care about it, but my heart is overwhelming. After some bargaining, Situ Nan obtained the oil exploration right for a piece of 100,000 hectares of land 500 kilometers east of Riyadh at the cost of two American divisions. At the same time, he also credited the Saudi family. Four American divisions are equipped.If oil fields are discovered locally, the equipment of the four American divisions will automatically belong to the Saudi family.

"Mr. William, I like to see the equipment as soon as possible." Ibn Saud reminded me.

"Don't worry! Your Majesty, I promise you will get the first batch of American equipment within a month." Situ Nan promised, patting his chest.

After acquiring a large area of ​​oilfields, the satisfied Situ Nan no longer intends to make Ibn Saudi money on ammunition.In order to win the friendship of the Saudi family, he later donated a large amount of ammunition to each other.

After signing the agreement, Ibn Saud took up the wet agreement and left the William with satisfaction.

Seeing Ibn Saud's group disappear into the night sky, Situ Nan turned around and couldn't help laughing.His trickery began to succeed.

Thinking that the world’s largest oil field, with a reserve of more than 10 billion tons and accounting for 30% of the Persian Gulf’s total oil, will fall into his own hands, can Situ Nan not be excited?

Although this super cornucopia could not be used for himself, Situ Nan believed that as long as he wanted it, he would always get it.

Saudi Arabia’s Ghavar Oil Field, Kuwait’s Great Hamburgan Oil Field, the United States’ East Texas Oil Field, Venezuela’s Bolivar Oil Field on the Maracaibo Lake, Indonesia’s Minas Oil Field, and Egypt and other areas along the Persian Gulf coast. , More than one-third of the large onshore oil fields in the world have been tainted by Situ Nan!
