"We still have to be on guard. The British troops near Oman must not cross Kuwait and go north. Mines are not used, so that submarines in the Persian Gulf can meet more." Sheffield gestured to the head of the bodyguard, "The two river basins cannot become the Allied Powers and

The main battlefield of the Ottoman Empire, if you want to fight it, fight it in Syria."

Sheffield would not allow the British army to invade the Ottoman Empire from the Persian Gulf, because this would be a serious dereliction of duty for him. Isn't the reason why Constantinople regards Kuwait as its territory to check and balance the British?

According to time, on the battlefield in the Middle East, the Battle of Mesopotamia was already in full swing at the same time in history. 160,000 British and Indian troops were fighting fiercely with the Ottoman army around Baghdad. Now because of the existence of slave owners, this battle did not happen!

This is a good thing for the British, Sheffield thinks so, because the Anglo-Indian forces lost the Mesopotamian battle. Sheffield's Christian militia blocked the Persian Gulf and helped the British avoid this battle.

After Enver Pasha's adventure in the Caucasus failed, just a few days later, Sheffield received a new assignment: "To form an Ottoman Eighth Army based mainly on Kuwaiti militia?" Sheffield looked at the telegram and thought.

After a while, he said, "Promise Enver Pasha to reorganize immediately and let John Connor and Brown accept the posts in Constantinople. There is no need to send telegrams to ask for anything. As long as it does not involve issues of loyalty, I am separated by 10,000

Duoli, it's impossible to make a judgment on the local situation. Anyway, the big framework is always there, so that's pretty much it."

In the city of Basra, John Connor, who had transformed from a black gold company manager to an Ottoman general, entered a magnificent building. A Southern Cross flag in front of the building indicated the ownership of the place.

"If we didn't make some differences, I would like to imitate the Arabs and wear a headscarf or something. Just like the boss said, the local dress is more suitable for the climate here." After entering the building, Brown said as he walked,

"The military supplies have been sent to Baghdad. The forty-eight 210mm howitzers that were originally sealed were given to the Ottoman Empire. I don't know what they will do with them."

"Ibrahim Pasha, General Gotz." John Connor walked into a room and greeted two men who were already sitting. The former was the commander of the Ottoman Sixth Army, and the latter was the German commander of the Sixth Army.

consultant.

"Two commanders, the Eighth Army Corps guarded the Persian Gulf, so the British troops in Oman did not dare to make mistakes." Ibrahim Pasha greeted with a smile, "William Pasha's huge reserves of food and supplies in Kuwait

Ammunition has solved many of our problems."

"Our boss has good relations with many German companies. We have a production license for Mauser rifles. It's great to be able to use them universally." John Connor nodded and said, "Our Eighth Army will not let the British army pass the defense.

The boss's attitude has not changed about invading the rich Mesopotamia, and he is even willing to use the reputation of the United Company to guarantee it."

"But we can't do more. In the war on the northern front, because we have Christian militias under our jurisdiction, there is a risk of mutiny when facing the Russian army." Brown added on the side, "I believe you two

We should have some understanding of this, and we will ensure that the transportation lines are open and we hope that the Third Army will regain its strength as soon as possible."

"That's the truth. You two are very honest." Goz said with a straight face, "The British-Indian coalition forces and the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps near Egypt are getting larger and larger in number, and they seem to want to take action."

"Our boss means the same thing. The German troops on the Western Front in Europe are strong. If the Allies want to break the deadlock, they may choose to take action on the Asian battlefield far away from the battlefield." John Connor nodded. "If progress can be made in Asia, we can make progress."

The Emperor gets some time to breathe."

"It is a pity that Mr. Sheffield does not join the General Staff." General Goetz sighed.

"Our boss still prefers to do business, and his involvement in the war was a coincidence. The main reason is to ensure the safety of Christians in the Middle East and to obtain an environment that will not be affected by the war. Ibrahim Pasha, General Goz, at this stage

We can only guarantee that we will remain vigilant against the British troops entrenched in Oman. Once any Allied troops move north using Oman as a base, they will be intercepted by us. You can rest assured of this!" John Connor said, "As for the new formation,

A group of army supplies have passed the Strait of Malacca by the end of the day, and are escorted by two French-made Guba-class battleships."

"It's not that easy. It's difficult for the British to come to the Mediterranean now. They can only go through the Pacific Ocean. To be honest, if the United States is on our side, we can definitely share the British's world hegemony." General Goetz said with a long sigh,

"You could even annex Canada."

"We are a country of immigrants, and it is more difficult in this regard." John Connor shrugged and said helplessly, "Our domestic soldiers are not as good as the Christians in the Middle East."

"That's really a pity." General Ghoz stopped the topic, and then said that he wanted to leave an advisory force in Basra, not because he did not believe in the Eighth Army, but because these Christian militiamen lacked some real troops.

The sensitivity required.

John Connor and Brown nodded, but scoffed at this statement. Sheffield hired a large number of retired officers from the Spanish-American War to come to the Middle East, including many combat staff officers.

Of course, it is obviously under the guise of protecting the living environment of Christians in the Middle East, but it is undeniable that there are still many adventurers in the United States who like this rhetoric and travel halfway around the world to save the world.

"The revenue is increasing day by day. This month's European orders are 33 million US dollars. Although it is not a lot, I believe this is just the beginning." Sheffield, who has not taken a car for a long time, shows a diligent monopoly.

The good qualities of the capitalist are completely different from those of Edith Rockefeller, who looks worried on the side.

"Those police officers are so bad. Do they have to be detained? It's just a traffic accident." Edith Rockefeller had tears in her eyes. She was not as leisurely as a slave owner. "What would I do if something happened to my son?"

?”

Sheffield's head tilted. He remembered that Edith Rockefeller recorded in history didn't seem to attach much importance to family ties. But it seemed a little different now.

"It's okay, just bring them out later." Sheffield waved his hand and said, "I killed a few people. It's not like I won't compensate for it, and it's good for my memory. You see, I don't drive, but my drivers are very professional.

.I obviously don’t have the guts to do it, but I insist on taking action. As expected, men will lose their minds in front of women.”

Brooklyn Police Department, New York, a huge motorcade stopped outside the police station. Several men in suits got out of the car and opened the door. Sheffield walked out wearing a top hat and walked into the police station without hesitation, followed by two men behind him.

More than a dozen bodyguards were divided into two rows and followed behind.

A moment later, the two of them appeared in the police chief's office. After some pleasantries, Sheffield said, "I am William Rockefeller's father. How many people have died so far?"

"Two people are dead now! The family members are also in a bad mood." Police Chief Ryan said with a bitter smile, "It's not that we have to detain your and Mrs. Edith's son, but we must have an attitude. I didn't expect Mr. William to personally

Come."

"I didn't want to come at first. Am I not his father? As you said, you have to have an attitude." Sheffield smiled and said, "Brooklyn citizens are very lucky to have such a police chief.

.I am not a person who likes to bully others. The family of the deceased can just ask for the compensation they want. Don’t keep him in the police station anymore. My wife is such a son, and I can’t bear it.”

"Why don't we postpone it for two days? The main reason is that the family of the deceased has been staying at the police station and we can't release him." Lane suggested, "As for these minor issues, you can let the lawyer handle it."

"No, it's not a big deal. Our lawyer's fees are quite expensive! Lawyers like to complicate simple things." Sheffield stood up and said, "Let's not waste time. Where are the family members, take me there."

In fact, it’s not that far away. We just walked through a corridor and arrived. Sheffield entered and explained his purpose. Then there was a scene where the working people berated the landlords and old money. They questioned Sheffield’s education issues and failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a father, which led to

This kind of car accident caused her husband to pass away.

The two wives of the deceased were criticizing the slave owners in this way. Sheffield was also a little embarrassed. He hooked his fingers back, took a bag from the bodyguard, took out a stack of ten-dollar bills, and threw them down on the table.

.

"Do you think you can do whatever you want if you have money?" A young woman with tears in her eyes pointed at Sheffield and cried bitterly.

Bang bang! Another two stacks of banknotes are still on the table! Sheffield accepted the blame and expressed sympathy to the family of the deceased.

"Our very happy family was just ruined."

Sheffield rolled his eyes, threw out two more stacks of bills, and looked directly at the two women.

"We have to take care of the child alone from now on, the child is still so young!"

Bang bang! Another two stacks of bills were thrown out, and Sheffield said for the first time, "Can you sign the settlement agreement? I'm very busy. If it weren't for my son's matter, I wouldn't be here at all."

Sheffield came out with two settlement documents and directly dragged William Rockefeller out of the cell.

"Father!" William Rockefeller followed behind with some fear and stammered, "Can I leave now?"

"Is the environment here so good that you still want to stay for two days?" Sheffield asked without stopping and without looking back.

"I just want to ask how it was handled." William Rockefeller whispered, "Because two people died."
