Chapter 1156 Soft Knife

It is obvious that the first suspect behind the collapse of the Dani gang is the East African Oil Company, but it is impossible for Chavez and others to find evidence.

And judging from Endel's attitude, the East Africans are not afraid that Chavez will find evidence, because although this incident started because of the East African Oil Company, there was someone else who did it, and it was not related to the East African Oil Company. .

However, this also reminded the local forces that those companies in East Africa are not a good person. If they can destroy the Raidani gang today, they can also be replaced by other forces tomorrow. Even the local powerful people are nothing compared to the East African state machinery. It's a bigger ant.

Maracaibo, Lagan Green Tavern.

With the settlement of a large number of East African companies, the employment rate in Maracaibo has increased significantly, and the Lagan Green Tavern is a new tavern in the dock area that has only been open for a few years.

Many dock workers came back here to drink cheap beer after get off work, so business in Lagen Green was particularly good.

"Mr. Rice, long time no see, our boss is already waiting for you in the private room!" Kana, the waiter in the tavern, said to the boss's friend.

"Yeah." Rice just nodded and walked towards the second floor stairs with familiarity.

Rice is the owner of a local barber shop, and he and Anthony, the owner of the tavern, are fishing friends. The two often go fishing together in Lake Maracaibo or the Gulf of Venezuela.

Walking to the door of the private room, Rice knocked on the door. After a while, a voice came from inside.

"Please be quiet."

Rice walked into the private room. Anthony was lying on the sofa, sipping a glass of red wine. Rice sat down opposite him unceremoniously.

"This matter ended very well. None of our people were exposed, and no unnecessary traces were left at the scene." Anthony put down his glass and said to Rice.

Rice: "It's just that the action was too big. This time it directly shocked the entire city of Maracaibo. However, this kind of case will definitely become an unsolved case in the end."

Anthony chuckled and said: "The action needs to be bigger and not offend the local powerful families. The Lai Dani gang is just right to use it to scare the monkeys. Anyway, the Lai Dani gang is just a thug cultivated by them and can be thrown away casually."

Rice: "Originally I did not support this action, but now that it has been done, there is nothing more to say. But this matter is far from over. After all, where there are people, there are disputes."

"This time we can help the East African Oil Company to settle matters. How can we do it again next time? We are not the thugs of the East African Oil Company, and our actions are really killing the chicken with a big knife."

Anthony said: "The main reason is that we entered East Africa too late, so the foundation is relatively weak. We will be able to lay the foundation for it in the future."

"This time my superiors told me that these newcomers in the country have no experience, so they have to rely on our strength. But I didn't expect that this is the first time we have received an important task in Venezuela."

Anthony and Rice are both members of the East African Defense and Security Service. The Defense and Security Service had laid a hidden line in Maracaibo long before the arrival of these state-owned enterprises in East Africa.

Ernst naturally took this into consideration. According to the morality of the National Defense and Security Agency, it would be impossible to send people to this useless place. London, Paris, and Berlin are not better than Maracaibo.

And from a practical point of view, there are not many attractive cities in Venezuela, including its capital, Caracas.

…

Rhine city.

What happened in Venezuela even alarmed Ernst. After all, there were nearly 200 lives, and it would be a murder in any region.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Ernst naturally does not feel sad for these two hundred social scum, but is considering how to further deepen his influence on the Lake Maracaibo region.

Ernst knocked on the table and said: "This Dani gang incident has reminded us. Originally, I was worried that the Americans were causing trouble, but I didn't expect that it was just a small gang."

"Therefore, we must strengthen the protection of our overseas assets, especially in some countries and regions with weak security and social unrest."

Minister of Commerce Ning Xiabo said: "In fact, the troubles East African Petroleum Company encountered in Maracaibo this time were largely caused by lack of experience. They also have business work in Russia, Romania and other countries, but this time they sent The new managers in Venezuela are obviously inexperienced. After all, we have more than one company in Maracaibo. If they can join forces, they will be a force that cannot be ignored. "

"Although Venezuela is only a small country, our foundation in South America was really weak in the past, and Maracaibo is not very popular in the Venezuelan region."

Ernst: "I won't listen to these excuses. You have to find a way to fully unite the local forces and twist them into one rope."

"You must also know how important the Maracaibo Lake area is to our country. Our first batch of investigators sent here alone discovered a large amount of oil and gas resources, and oil and gas resource reserves are our shortcomings in East Africa. It is also the lifeblood of our country’s current economic development.”

"The annual consumption of oil by cars alone is an astronomical figure, not to mention other industries. Therefore, to stabilize the country's energy security, we must ensure the diversification of our overseas oil assets."

East Africa's oil consumption has completely exceeded that of other countries of the same era. The only country that can still be compared is the United States. However, after the U.S. automobile industry was severely damaged by East Africa, now it can only play on its own behind closed doors, and its development is completely different from its previous life. So bright.

The largest automobile manufacturing company in the United States can only rank seventh in East Africa in terms of annual output, and it cannot make much money due to the vicious competition in East Africa.

On the contrary, East Africa has made rapid progress in the oil industry. This is not only the credit of the automobile industry, but the result of the joint efforts of the entire industrial system. Now East Africa has completely bid farewell to the steam age and is making rapid progress in electrification and internal combustion engines.

But the status of oil and natural gas has also increased rapidly in East Africa. Although East Africa is rich in natural oil resources, it is still several levels behind other producing areas.

Among them, the Persian Gulf region, which is most favored by Ernst, East Africa does not plan to exploit now. After all, the Persian Gulf region is relatively sensitive and can easily cause disputes and conflicts. It can only be dealt with after East Africa has completely established a local foothold.

Venezuela's oil resources are completely different. The reason why East Africa is so eager to end its oil resources is mainly to prevent the United States from taking advantage of it.

Although the quality of Venezuelan oil is not very good, there is enough of it, and with large quantities and adequate management, some negative factors can be completely ignored.

Oil is oil after all. Even if there is a difference in quality, as long as it can be used well, it can still help the development of East Africa. For example, a large part of the asphalt used in road construction in East Africa is obtained from Venezuela.

In the previous life, Venezuelan oil was exploited on a large scale almost after the end of World War I, so East Africa rushed to enclose land before the outbreak of World War I.

However, eagerness for success can easily lead to an unstable foundation, as was the case with the Dani gang incident. After all, East African companies have only been developing in Venezuela for a few years, and their integration with local forces is not strong.

Only then did the East African Defense and Security Agency, a violent agency, personally go out and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. This is considered a relatively mild method. After all, in a region like Venezuela that not many countries have paid attention to before, it is not impossible for East Africa to take the initiative.

The so-called forceful attack is naturally to send troops to directly invade and carry out colonial activities. In this way, East Africa can directly occupy the local resource development rights without even paying for it.

However, the consequences of doing so are obviously huge. After all, Venezuela is also a sovereign country, and it is located in South America. The use of violence alone cannot solve the problem, and it is easy to be backlashed, so Ernst will definitely use some soft knives to solve the problem. Venezuela's problem.

A combination of soft and hard measures is the key to solving the Venezuela problem, and Europe and the United States are paying attention to Venezuela now when it is most vulnerable, which also facilitates the layout of East Africa.
