Chapter 612 North African War

The biggest benefit of rhetoric is that it gives a layer of justification to shameless actions. Sheffield believes that intervening in the Italo-Turkish War will benefit many countries at many levels.

For the Ottoman Empire, Sheffield can give an explanation that the title of Pasha was not taken in vain. By the way, it can also meet the wishes of the Ottoman Empire’s top leaders and contain the British bases in the Persian Gulf region.

As for France, just as he said to his wife Anne, fighting over and over again will not produce any results. Isn't this just what France wants? France can also take action in the name of being vigilant against the United States' infiltration into Africa and spread the American threat theory at the same time.

For Imperial Russia, the fighting between the Ottoman Empire and Italy in North Africa was a good opportunity to infiltrate the Balkans and take advantage of the situation.

For the southern states of the United States, seeing the flag of the Confederate States of America reappear will make them feel very close. It can also consolidate the base in the South, which is also good for the Democratic Party.

After thinking about it, it seems that Sheffield has to bear all the potential losses. It is only natural that laundry detergent will appear at the United Nations General Assembly a hundred years later. This is not a surprise at all.

Thanks to the inefficient military operations of Italy and the Ottoman Empire in North Africa, Sheffield played the efficiency of private enterprises, working day and night, and the factories of various industries worked overtime to produce military uniforms, weapons, and food. The lights were on from morning to night, and even the Ottoman envoys in the United States watched in person, and gave high praise to William Pasha for his loyalty to the empire.

To be frank, the scene seen from the Sheffield Union factory opened the eyes of this Ottoman. To be frank, this kind of supply is much better than that of the ordinary Ottoman army.

Of course, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the new richest man in the United States to wear clothes on the battlefield? The mercenaries formed by the new richest man should also be presentable, right?

"I can only help the empire by forming mercenaries, but to be honest, our United States is not strong in military power, so we can only make up for it in other ways as much as possible." Sheffield shrugged, being very frank on this issue.

This is also consistent with other countries' impression of the United States, but Sheffield sees further. If the US military in the future uses precision-guided bombs to blow up donkey carts, then it will naturally be extremely powerful, and only aliens can resist it.

However, the United States never goes to war with prominent countries, and its favorite opponents are Panama and Haiti. Unlike the British Empire, the world's policeman today, it has really beaten a series of powerful countries alone.

"In fact, the Pashas also know that it is not very reasonable to ask William Pasha for support, which may cause trouble to the United States." The envoy hesitated and said, "As long as the army arrives in North Africa, the edict of Basra Province will be handed over to you, Pasha. Well, I wonder what reason you have for intervening?"

As soon as Sheffield heard about the Kuwait territory, he was clearly in the mood and said without thinking, "We oppose the invasion of sovereign countries by European imperialist countries. All territorial disputes should be decided by national self-determination."

The slave owner spoke with great righteousness, showing a trait called America, the hope of mankind! This scene happened to be seen by the bodyguard leader Jesla who entered the factory. He frowned very obscurely, and a constipated expression flashed across his face. He suppressed his disgust at his boss's performance and said in a low voice, "We can collect 20 cargo ships in the area from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf. We have also communicated with Miss Louisa Morgan. The American International Shipping Company can help. There are several cargo ships docked in India."

"Be careful of the British. I'm not worried about the Italians. Italy doesn't have the ability to deploy spies all over the world, but the British Empire does. However, our notoriety for human trafficking may serve as a good cover this time. After all, ordinary people don't know about labor trafficking, but the top leaders of various countries know it very well." Sheffield thought for a while and said, "Prepare the flags of several countries and replace them with the Stars and Stripes when we reach the Mediterranean. There shouldn't be any big trouble."

The Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar are both in the hands of the British. This brings us to Spain, the first empire on which the sun never sets. Even the important naval base at its doorstep was taken away by the British. It is indeed a tragic thing.

Given the current status of the United States, it is not the type of country that would launch a surprise attack like Japan. In terms of common sense, no one would have thought that a private company would get involved in a war between two countries.

The company does not have to bear the responsibility of the country's reputation, so Sheffield can certainly intervene secretly.

The slave owner thought of some possible loopholes, but still expressed his confidence in the professionalism of Black Gold Company. There were no problems with the transportation of labor for decades, and being able to do this kind of business around the world was closely related to the connections in various places.

They even have connections in Vietnam. Vietnam was a French colony, and you can't rule out some wealthy Vietnamese who want to turn the tables and become masters. It's understandable that they wanted to find two French girls as concubines. Although the demand is small now, it may expand in the future.

Of course, the market in Southeast Asia is mainly in Thailand, after all, Thailand is an independent country.

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 they were ruthless enough, it was possible to hide it from the British. In the past, when transporting labor, they often encountered the British. The British were the initiators of banning the global slave trade.

"If the French army attacks, surrender without asking for permission." Sheffield tilted his head and took a bite of the steak his wife handed over, then wiped his mouth and said, "You don't have to look at Anne. Even those who are arrogant should understand the gap between us and the European military powers. 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 and would blink if he was intimidated by Lady Anne.

"You also said that the Italians are self-proclaimed. In fact, there are only four military powers in Europe: Britain, France, Germany, and Russia." Sheffield shrugged. "In a company of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there may be soldiers speaking five or six different languages. But even so, the combat effectiveness of a unit composed of pure Austrians or Hungarians is also acceptable. The Italian army does not need to be distinguished so carefully, they are almost the same. It happens that the battleships of the San Francisco Shipyard have been built. They can escort the Middle Eastern mercenaries to North Africa in the name of a trial voyage, and then return to China. That's it! By the way, we can also promote Sino-US friendship. What I mean is that when we reach the Chinese gathering areas in Southeast Asia, we must promote it well."

The next day John Connor set off. The Black Gold Company had a ship and was a United States enterprise. Whether it could deceive the Italian Navy depended on the skills of John Connor, the veteran slave hunting captain.

Sheffield was thinking about how to deceive the British and how to deceive the Italians, but he didn't expect that the first to cause trouble would be from his own country, an agency 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 the call came from Konstantinovich.

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 organizing the Texas Legion to avenge my grandfather and rebuild the Confederate States of America. What do you think of this answer? You do nothing every day. You and I have known each other since childhood. Instead of monitoring the people you should monitor, you monitor me?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"William, you are not serious, are you?" Konstantinovich was startled and quickly explained, "You are making too much noise. Fifty thousand sets of former Confederate uniforms, the military factory is working day and night, and it's useless for me to ask."

"I received a military order from the Ottoman Empire. The Democrats were re-elected. Why should I be upset? I am a private enterprise. Is it not okay for me to receive military orders from abroad? Is it a violation of export control regulations?" Sheffield said angrily. "They paid the money. I want to make money. Do I have to report it to the federal government? As for the Confederate military uniforms, everyone knows that blue cloth is very cheap."

"I'm just asking casually! You just need to be careful." Konstantinovich sighed helplessly, "I'm just afraid of causing international disputes. If you accept the order from the Ottoman Empire and it is discovered in the future, it may cause dissatisfaction of some European countries towards the United States. Okay, I have things to do."

Yellow sand, blood, gun smoke, horses wailing in pain and their dying owners struggling, the sound of gunfire seemed even clearer and louder in the empty desert, the killing continued, there was no mercy and no hope.

The cavalry's attacks were fierce and efficient, and the difference between professional troops and bandits was clearly demonstrated in the battle.

Italy's troops in North Africa are approaching 100,000, of which 90,000 are concentrated in Tripoli to suppress the local rebels, while the Italian Navy is patrolling within a range of more than 2,000 kilometers.

"It seems that there are more American fleets flying the Stars and Stripes recently!" Many doubts were in the minds of Italian naval soldiers. The Italian army, which had only occupied Tripoli, was far from marching from one victory to another as the residents of Rome knew. The entire North Africa was the territory of the Peace Church. Countless teams of different sizes entered here from French Tunisia, Algeria, and British Egypt to fight the Italians.

These constant attacks and harassment alone have left many Italian soldiers at a loss.
