The journey starts from the Titanic

For people at the time, this was the greatest joy!

Slaves were enemies captured by the Roman army from various battlefields, and the conquered nations could only use cruel and bloody performances to please the conquerors.

A thousand years later, this truth remains the same!

"These places in Rome are really backward. We need more magnificent buildings to replace them. Mr. William, you see, I am going to tear down that old city, open up a big highway, and rebuild Rome!"

Mussolini stood on the Colosseum overlooking the city of Rome, pointing to the space ahead, exuberantly.

"Your Excellency's ambition is admirable. Only in the hands of a big man like you can the city of Rome shine with glory!"

Situ Nan followed, and said in his heart: Demolition, demolition, you have to tear down the city of Rome, it is my business?

"It would be great if others thought like you. There are too many short-sighted guys around me now!" Mussolini regretted, because the demolition and construction of the ancient city attracted many people's opposition.

Mussolini, who had not risen to the prestige in the future, could only endure it temporarily, but he was even more eager to realize his political ambitions of monopolizing power.

Mussolini's goal is to reproduce the glory of the ancient Roman Empire and make Italy the hegemon of the world!This is also the stinking problem of every nation with a glorious history. When it comes to their ancestors, it feels extremely awesome.

If you don't know your own strength, you will try to claim the king and dominate, and you will eventually hit yourself in the foot.

In his favor, Situ Nan volunteered to donate US$100,000 for the protection of ancient buildings in the city of Rome. This money was given to Mussolini. Situ Nan also specifically indicated that the purpose was "to cooperate with the construction of the city of Rome."

So is the money used to destroy or protect the old city?Only Mussolini knew it.He was very satisfied with Situ Nan's generosity and proposed to grant Situ Nan an honorary citizen of Rome, but Situ Nan declined.

During Mussolini’s reign, a lot of ancient Roman buildings were destroyed. At the same time, this guy also left more excellent buildings in Italy. Even during World War II, a large number of European talents fled to the United States, but the architects gathered in Italy and stayed Down.

Regardless of World War I or World War II, the role of the Italians has always been a punished little daughter-in-law, whose performance makes people feel funny.

At the beginning of the battle, Mussolini jumped out and yelled, as if he was very powerful. If you punch him hard, he will be obedient immediately.This is exactly how the Italians survive.

On the third day, eating, drinking and having fun, as well as the legendary Italian girl, the enthusiasm of the owner is very useful.

At home, Mussolini withdrew from his entourage and asked Situ Nan with a serious expression: "My friend, to be honest, what do you want from Italy?"

"Your friendship!" Situ Nan smiled and looked at the other side calmly, the real negotiation began.

Mussolini picked up the check in front of him, took a look, and was overjoyed, one hundred thousand dollars!

Very generous!

A trace of greed flashed in Mussolini's eyes. The money was for him personally. For the blacksmith's son, it was a large sum.

Mussolini's expression on Situ Nan looked in his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was too greedy, so as not to feed his appetite, Situ Nan would have paid a million dollars.

"I express my respect to you on behalf of Occidental Petroleum. We are very optimistic about the Italian market and are willing to contribute to the promotion of the Italian economy. We hope to get the support of you and your political party."

Situ Nan smiled and said that he proposed to invest in oil ports, refineries, establish sales companies, and build gas stations in Italy. At the same time, he also proposed to reduce import tariffs on crude oil and refined oil.

Mussolini couldn't comment, and he was secretly happy.Italy lacks oil resources. Situ Nan took the initiative to come to Mussolini for a long time. Oil is an important part of his ambitious construction of a huge military industry. Without enough oil, how will the fascist army expand in the future?

"Strengthening foreign trade has always been my advocate. Cooperation with companies like Occidental Petroleum is also a good opportunity for us. In principle, I generally agree."

Mussolini reluctantly said, as if he had made a difficult decision.

"I know some good Italian companies, maybe you can cooperate with them." Mussolini was not willing to give up this big business in the end. As soon as this statement came out, Situ Nan immediately understood it and nodded happily.

Isn't the Italian company that this guy calls the Mussolini family company?Maybe those companies only exist in Mussolini's words, but it also prevents these people from becoming partners of Occidental Petroleum.

Situ Nan was also very happy to see Mussolini on the road like this.

Soon after, Occidental Petroleum signed a cooperation agreement with an Italian company. Through the cooperation with Mussolini, Occidental Petroleum became Italy's largest oil company.

The thoughtful Situ Nan also donated a political donation of 50,000 US dollars to the Fascist Party to win the favor of the group of Italians. When the Italians were happy, they immediately agreed to Chevron Oil Company's oil exploration in the Italian region of Libya.

Even the oil exploitation rights of 100,000 square kilometers of land in the Sirt Basin in northern Libya cost less than US$300,000!Almost wiped out Libya's oil resources!

"A 30-year mining license is enough!"

Situ Nan took a picture of the newly-released oil exploration license contract, left Rome with a relaxed look, and let out a nasty breath in his heart, finally no longer having to face Mussolini's arrogance.

"Master, it took millions of dollars in just a few days. It's too cheap for Italians!" He Yongyuan said unwillingly.In his opinion, even if Situ Nan did not come forward, Occidental Petroleum would have no problem in expanding its market share in Italy. On the contrary, the Italians were anxious to import oil!

"Haha! It's not cheap, I'm afraid the Italians will go back! It's better than anything to be able to mine oil in Libya for 30 years!"

Situ Nan explained with a smile.

In the future, the Italians will regret it, they can only jealous!Obediently accept Chevron Petroleum's terms and get a small part of the oil benefits.

If you want to monopolize, unless there is a war-war?The Italians dared to do it, Lao Tzu sent troops from South China to destroy him!

"Oh, I see!"

He Yongyuan shrugged, a little helpless, in fact, from the cooperation between Chevron Oil Company and the French, he had already guessed Situ Nan's mind.

It’s just that I’m a little worried. If the oil adventure is unsuccessful, it would be uncomfortable for foreigners to take advantage of it.

After leaving Italy, Situ Nan made a special trip to Algiers, the Mediterranean port city of Algeria, which later became the capital of this country.

"No? I'm going to Libya to dig for oil again? Boss, you want to exhaust me!" Sinclair, who is developing an oil business in North Africa, hasn't gotten hot yet, Situ Nan has solicited another big deal with him. .

"Anyway, you won't be able to return to the United States in the past few years. Let's enjoy a few years here! The scenery in North Africa is still good!"

Situ Nan looked at Sinclair gleefully while eating the unique flavor of lamb.

"I really don't know that my wife and children don't even recognize me. You see I'm really black." Sinclair muttered dissatisfiedly. Recently he decided to take his relatives from the United States.

"Does a dignified multi-million dollar man have to work hard? Look at you, this place is like a chief's palace!"

Situ Nanbai glanced at Sinclair, admiring the mansion that this guy had bought in Algiers!Living here, status, honor, and material everything, Sinclair lives as a chief than a chief!

"That's true, this is indeed a good palace. I plan to live in London, but I will run in Europe and North Africa for several months a year." Sinclair laughed, enjoying his life somewhat.

For him, moving to Algiers is already the most conscientious performance. As a decision maker, his work focuses more on Western Europe.

Situ Nan was satisfied with Sinclair's performance. In just one month, related equipment had been shipped from the United States. Chevron Petroleum's Algeria branch had purchased a large area of ​​land by the sea, preparing to build a wharf and an oil port.

Chapter 30 The Arabian Horse

Soon after arriving in Algiers, Situ Nan received a telegram from Laura from the United States.The Olympics was over, and for them, the vacation was over, so she took a pair of children back to the United States on the William.

The well-behaved little Andy wrote in the telegram: "Dad, we're home! Come back soon, let's go riding a horse together! By the way, my mother said that there is an animal in Africa called a camel with a small hill on its back, so cute, can you Bring me a head back?"

"This guy!"

Situ Nan looked at it and couldn't help smiling, and handed the telegram to Xiangu He, and smiled: "You can satisfy this guy's wish. I heard that the horses here are good, so I can buy some if you have the opportunity."

"Okay, young master. Mr. Sinclair has a few Arabian horses at home, why don't you try him?" He Xiangu urged Situ Nan.
