Chapter 613 War in North Africa
The biggest advantage of rhetoric is that it adds a layer of fame to shameless actions. Sheffield's intervention in the Italian-Turkish War felt that it was beneficial to many countries on many levels.
For the Ottoman Empire, Sheffield can give you an explanation. The name of Pasha is not in vain. By the way, it has complied with the wishes of the Ottoman Empire's high-level officials to contain the British bases in the Persian Gulf.
For France, just like what he said to his wife Anne, fighting back and forth has no results. Isn’t it just following France’s wishes? France can also take actions to spread the news about the United States in the name of being wary of the United States’ infiltration into Africa.
Threat theory.
For Imperial Russia, the fight between the Ottoman Empire and Italy in North Africa was a good opportunity to penetrate the Balkans and take advantage of it.
For the southern states of the United States, seeing the reappearance of the Confederate flag is very close to them. It can also stabilize the basic base of the south, and it is also good for the Democratic Party.
After thinking about it, it seems that all countries have been told the same thing, and all potential losses have been borne by Sheffield. If we seize a little bit of favorable publicity to generalize, wouldn't it be logical that washing powder will appear at the United Nations General Assembly a hundred years later?
.This is not a surprise at all.
North Africa relied on the Italian and Ottoman military operations in North Africa, which were full of inefficient military operations. Sheffield took advantage of the efficiency of private enterprises and rushed to work day and night. Along with military uniforms, weapons, food, and factories in various industries worked overtime to produce, with lights on from morning to night.
It was so transparent that the Ottoman Empire's envoys in the United States even watched it in person and gave William Pasha a high evaluation for his loyalty to the empire.
To put it bluntly, what he saw from the Sheffield United Company factory was an eye-opener for the Ottoman. To put it bluntly, this kind of supply is much better than the average Ottoman army.
This is of course. Wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the new richest man in the United States if he was short of clothes and didn't wear it on the battlefield? The mercenary army formed by the new richest man should be passable in general, right?
"I can only help the empire by forming mercenaries, but to be honest, our United States is not good at military, so we can only make up for it in other aspects as much as possible." Sheffield shrugged, being very candid on this issue.
.
This is also in line with other countries' impressions of the United States, but Sheffield looks further. If the US military in later generations uses precision-guided bombs to blow up donkey carts, it will naturally be so powerful that only aliens can resist it.
But, the United States never goes to war with a country on the table. Its favorite opponents are Panama and Haiti. It is not like the British Empire, the police force in today's world, which has really defeated a series of powerful countries alone.
"Actually, the pashas also know that it is not very reasonable to ask William Pasha to provide support, and it may bring trouble to the United States." The envoy hesitated, "As long as the army moves to North Africa, the edict of Basra Province
It will be handed over to you, Pasha. Hmm, I don’t know why to intervene?”
As soon as he heard about the Kuwaiti territory, Sheffield obviously got into a state of mind and said without thinking, "We oppose the aggression of European imperialist countries against sovereign countries. All territorial disputes should be resolved by national self-determination."
When the slave owner spoke, he spoke with an awe-inspiring attitude, and he displayed a characteristic called America, the hope of mankind! This scene happened to be seen by Jessla, the head of the bodyguard who entered the factory, and he frowned in a very cryptic manner, with a constipated expression on his face.
A flash passed on his face, and he suppressed his disgust at the boss's performance and said in a low voice, "We can recruit twenty freighters from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf. We have also communicated with Miss Louisa Morgan. American International
The shipping company can help. There happen to be a few cargo ships docked in India."
"Be careful with the British. I'm not worried about the Italians. Italy doesn't have the power to deploy spies around the world, but the British Empire does. But our reputation for human trafficking may be a good one this time."
After all, most people don't know about labor trafficking, but the top leaders of various countries know it clearly." Sheffield thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a few more national flags, and replace them with the Stars and Stripes after arriving in the Mediterranean. It shouldn't cause a big problem.
trouble."
The Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar are both in the hands of the British, which makes Spain the first empire on which the sun never sets. Even the important naval base at home was taken away by the British, which is indeed a sad thing.
Judging from the status of the United States of America in the current era, it does not belong to Japan's role of sneak attacks and starting wars. From a common sense, no one would think that a private company would get involved in a war between two countries.
The reputation of the country is not burdened by enterprises, so of course Sheffield can sneak in.
The slave owner thought about some possible loopholes, but still believed in the professionalism of the Black Gold Company. There was no problem in transporting labor for decades. Being able to do this kind of business around the world is inseparable from the connections between people in various places.
relation.
It even has connections with the Vietnam United Company. Vietnam is a French colony. You can't rule out some rich locals in Vietnam who want to become masters. It's understandable to find two French girls as concubines. Although the demand is small now
, but maybe it can be expanded in the future.
Of course, the market in Southeast Asia is mainly in Thailand, which is an independent country after all.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem. When chatting with John Connor before leaving for North Africa, Mr. Savior also expressed his belief in the professionalism of Black Gold Company. As long as you are ruthless enough, you can hide it from the British.
It's possible. In the past, when we were transporting labor, we often met the British. The British were the initiators of the ban on the global slave trade.
"If the French army attacks, surrender directly without asking for instructions." Sheffield tilted his head and took a bite of the steak handed to him by his wife, wiped his mouth and said, "You don't need to look at Anne, even if you are a defiant person, you should also feel the same in your heart.
Understand the gap between us and the European military powers, and don’t do the impossible.”
"Italy also claims to be one of the six major powers in Europe!" John Connor didn't believe his boss's words. If he was coerced by Lady Anne, he would blink.
"You also said that the Italians call themselves. There are actually only four military powers in Europe: Britain, France, Germany and Russia." Sheffield shrugged. "A company in the Austro-Hungarian Empire may have soldiers speaking five or six different languages."
.But even so, the combat effectiveness of the troops composed of pure Austrians or Hungarians is still acceptable. The Italian troops do not need to be distinguished so carefully, they are almost the same. It just so happens that the battleships at the San Francisco Shipyard have been built and can be put on trial.
In the name of escorting mercenaries from the Middle East to North Africa, and then turning back and handing them over to China. That's it! By the way, it can also promote the friendship between China and the United States. I mean, when you reach the Chinese gathering areas in Southeast Asia, you must publicize it well.
"
John Connor set off on his journey the next day. The Black Gold Company had ships and was a United States enterprise. Whether it could deceive the Italian Navy would depend on the skill of John Connor, the senior slave hunter captain.
Sheffield was thinking about how to deceive the British and the Italians, but he did not expect that the first one to show up to cause trouble would be the domestic agency, which he was very familiar with, the FBI.
Sheffield didn't have the chance to say, "Do you know who I am? Your director is my friend." Because it was Konstantinovich who made the call.
After a series of lies such as preparing for the Mexican Civil War and suppressing anti-American elements in the Philippines were ruthlessly exposed, Sheffield shouted impatiently, "I am forming the Texas Legion, preparing to avenge my grandfather and rebuild the Confederate States of America."
, what do you think of this answer? You don’t do shit every day, you and I have known each other since childhood, and you don’t monitor the people you should monitor, but you spy on me? "
"William, are you serious?" Konstantinovich was startled and quickly explained, "The noise you made was too great. There were 50,000 sets of military uniforms from the original Allied Powers, and the military factories were running day and night.
, it’s not okay for me to ask.”
"I received a military order from the Ottoman Empire, and the Democratic Party was re-elected. What can't I think about? I am a private company, so is it not okay to receive military orders from abroad? Is this a violation of export control regulations?" Sheffield was furious.
Chu Lai said, "They have paid for it. I want to make money and report it to the federal government? As for the military uniforms of the Confederate States, as we all know, blue cloth is very cheap."
"I'm just asking about this casually! Just be careful." Konstantinovich sighed helplessly, "I'm just afraid of causing international disputes. If you accept an order from the Ottoman Empire, if you are
If we find out, it may cause some European countries to be dissatisfied with the United States. Well, I have other things to do."
Yellow sand, blood, gunpowder smoke, horses whining in pain and their owners struggling in death, the sound of gunfire is even clearer and louder in the empty desert, the killing continues, without mercy or hope.
The cavalry's attacks were fierce and efficient, and the difference between professional troops and bandits was clearly demonstrated in the battle.
The Italian army in North Africa has approached 100,000 people, of which 90,000 are concentrated in Tripoli to suppress the local rebels. The Italian Navy is patrolling within a range of more than 2,000 kilometers.
"It seems that there have been more American fleets flying the Stars and Stripes recently!" There are many doubts in the minds of Italian navy soldiers. The Italian army that only occupied Tripoli is far from going from victory to victory as the residents of Rome knew.
Another victory was that the entire North Africa was the territory of the Peace Cult. Countless teams of different sizes entered here from French Tunisia, Algeria, and British Egypt to fight against the Italians.
