Chapter 851 The Unlucky Frenchman
856
When Boss Joe was discussing with Maguire, Jafari and Rojawani were nearby.
They signed an oil field mining rights transfer agreement, and then completed a series of detailed contract signings with the assistance of lawyers.
Because the demands of the two companies are inconsistent, many details are also different.
For example, the Syrian government needs more foreign materials and funds, while the Kurds need more cash to meet part of the consumption of the "garrison".
Haliburton was once a straw stuck in the neck of the Kurds…
Originally, they could convert the crude oil into dollars through the refinery and let the Kurds share part of it. Of course, more of it would be converted into arms and medicine for them. After all, nothing is free.
Now that Haliburton has been wiped out by Boss Joe, the Kurds need to face the demands of the 'garrison'.
This has nothing to do with Boss Joe. Chris has led the team to the safe zone. Resuming operation of the oil fields and refineries is the most important thing at the moment.
The resumption of work in the Syrian oil fields may be different from what everyone imagined...
Syria is an old oil-producing country, and its citizens were not poorly educated in the past. Their mining technology may not be advanced enough, but they have sufficient petrochemical manpower reserves.
The people brought by Chris are all managers. They only need to publish recruitment information in major cities, so that the idle workers can go to the construction sites and restart the stalled machinery.
Of course, this big project started in the safe zone. At least one-fifth of the hundreds of thousands of refugees were already in the petrochemical industry chain.
These people fled to the safe zone. Unexpectedly, not only their safety was guaranteed, but they also had jobs after a short time.
Morale is really hard to say. When the recruitment was sent out, the people from the Martyrs Camp escorted Chris and his group to start large-scale recruitment...
When a reasonable salary system is openly hung on the walls of various service establishments...
The safe zone is completely boiling!
People don’t know that Boss Joe worked in private to get the Syrian government and the Kurdish Democratic Forces to reach an agreement.
This is an agreement that can be talked about, but absolutely cannot be made explicit.
The general content of the contract announced to the public is that Boss Qiao has won the mining rights of the ‘Deir ez-Zor’ and ‘Kalachuk’ oil fields for the next five years at a cost of US$1 billion.
It is also expected to provide nearly 100,000 direct and indirect jobs in the next year, revitalizing the local economy while stimulating the development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains and providing a good living space for the people.
After the media who had been staying in the safe zone released the news, before the NATO people had time to react, the people in Deir ez-Zor took the lead in responding.
Because of the confrontation between the Syrian government forces and the Kurdish Democratic Forces across the Euphrates River, they were extremely frightened.
These people who have lived in the areas controlled by Isis for a long time are very afraid that once the two armies fight, they may destroy the few remaining assets they have.
After all, in the eyes of some militants, those who once surrendered to Isis are traitors.
Great purges are all too common in Syria today. Thinking about the troops supported by Mao Zedong on one side and the Kurds who are good at fighting and xenophobic on the other, the locals cannot help but be afraid.
Now a company has jumped in to take over. Almost as soon as the news spread, people in Deir ez-Zor began to embroider red flags overnight and take to the streets to celebrate and express their welcome.
On the third day when the news came out, a wave of unknown militants attacked the camp where the French army was stationed, and then had a fierce exchange of fire with the Kurdish Democratic Forces who came to support.
The two sides even deployed heavy weapons in the middle of the fight!
Although the accuracy was poor, it frightened the 400 French people.
Relying on the base defense handed over by the United States, they barely managed to hold on to the camp, but it was impossible for them to drive out and fight for their lives. Their only option was to ask for help.
At this moment, the United States had just suffered a big loss in Mosul, and all the attention of the country was focused there. Where could they have time to pay attention to the frightened French army?
French soldiers who failed to seek help from their allies had no choice but to seek help from their hometown.
The French's global projection ability is not strong, but they just know how to take advantage of loopholes.
They mobilized 200 soldiers from the soldiers who originally planned to fight in Mosul, purchased weapons on the spot to form a mechanized infantry, borrowed the road opened by P·B, and entered Syria through the safe zone, and then...
Then as soon as this group of people arrived near the base, the Syrian government forces and the Kurdish Democratic Forces started fighting again, and they started fighting across them.
The 122 artillery pieces from both sides flew around in the air as if they were free, and the huge explosion frightened the French.
Immediately afterwards, a group of wounded Kurds rushed outside the French base, their faces covered with blood, wanting to seek help, and asked the French to fulfill their responsibilities as allies and join the battle.
Faced with the attitude of the French who refused to open the door, Dorian, whose face was covered with blood, cursed loudly, and then led a group of fierce wounded soldiers to extort a large amount of ammunition, claiming to return to the battlefield to fight with the Syrian government forces. Fight to the death.
Therefore, the disadvantage of fighting as a guest army is here. When the eyes are dark, of course, what others say is what they say.
After the French handed over some of their ammunition, the fighting lasted intermittently for nearly five hours and then stopped.
After the defenders and reinforcements converged, the two sides took inventory of the quantity of arms and material reserves, and everyone immediately hit it off and once again launched a request for support from their hometown.
While Turkey, a rebel, is busy reaping its own benefits, any NATO troops in Syria lack air support.
With just a few hundred people, can't they live in fear?
Qiao Jia saw Dorian returning with the harvest and discussing with the Kurds how to get more benefits from the French. His big teeth almost fell out of laughter.
When Boss Qiao received a call from the French Prime Minister, asking for help in replenishing a batch of military supplies, he felt that he could not stay any longer. If he continued, sooner or later he would be laughed to death by the French's antics.
The two families scared the French soldiers to death without fighting seriously, and they still want to maintain the regional situation?
This was just a "double act" between the government forces and the Kurds, directed by Boss Joe. Everyone used a little too much force the first time, but the French's foundation has been figured out, and they will be able to torment them in different ways in the future.
Moreover, such fierce fighting actually promoted the determination of the people in Deir ez-Zor to move closer to the PB Group!
If embroidering the red flag is not enough, we will send representatives to sincerely invite you to come...
Chris and his men had not yet gone to Deir ez-Zor, where the roads around the oil fields had been cleared.
The local people, under the leadership of some prestigious people, had made a good gesture and waited for P·B to take over.
In fact, if Boss Qiao hadn't been confused about P·B's thoughts, it would have been possible for the Deir ez-Zor Oilfield to operate through the air.
The locals have been living by stealing and selling oil for many years, and they know very well how the oil fields operate.
Boss Qiao stayed in the safe zone for another half a month and helped to completely stabilize the situation here. Faced with the security contracts that came one after another from France, he 'unfortunately' rejected the relatively lucrative contract, and then 'unfortunately' Left the safe zone.
Not only did he have to leave, but he also had to take away most of PB's armed personnel.
Choga left only one artillery battalion in the safe zone to cooperate with the martyrs' battalion and the surrendered Kurdish militia to protect the safety of the zone.
This way when French calls, he can fend them off with no manpower.
If you are really afraid, then come to the safe zone and you will be treated as refugees, haha...
……………………
By the time Qiao Jia arrived at Gaiyala base in a low-key military vehicle, the situation here had changed.
I will not accept military orders abroad!
This statement seems to be applicable all over the world.
P·B's rescue operation, jointly with the Iraqi government forces and the Kurds, has gradually made progress.
The NATO coalition forces led by the United States, after trying several ground advances, faced huge casualties and had no choice but to cooperate with P.B.
What the White House wants is progress, but the actual progress does not depend on how the frontline personnel brag...
Without the support of tanks, the Bradley fighting vehicle cannot withstand the RPG's close-faced output.
In addition, Isis people don’t know where they got those Javelin missiles, so it’s really impossible to attack them hard...
But look back at the work P·B and the others are doing...
Every time the NATO forces in Mosul suffered a loss in the city, there would be a wave of large-scale bombings.
Then, as if they were on stimulants, the P.B. coalition forces would drive in and use the cover of bombing to continuously release smoke bombs to cover their retreat.
They were able to rob hundreds of city residents each time, and occasionally they could rob a few terrorists and shoot them for others to see.
The approach of the P·B coalition forces does not conflict with the strategic goals of the NATO coalition forces.
In fact, the casualties caused by the P·B coalition forces are simply not as good as those caused by the NATO coalition forces.
But looking at the results through the eyes of the media, the NATO coalition is too weak.
Now there is joy all day long in the east of Mosul. The rescued people receive the "PB humanitarian gift package" and happily ride in trucks to settle in the surrounding towns.
On the other hand, the heavily guarded Mosul base is miserable and demoralized all day long, and it also has to face ridicule from the media.
Every day, American local news is played on the big TV in the cafeteria. Whenever Iraq is mentioned, several old squad leaders will amplify their voices in a wicked way.
At this time, a series of swear words will often be heard in the cafeteria...
Then in order to restore morale and revitalize the military image of the NATO coalition, things inevitably slipped in a strange direction...
The control room of the unmanned airship at the Mosul base...
Antar looked at the serious-looking white major general in front of her and said curiously: "Sir, are you serious?"
