Like Egypt to the Ottoman Empire, Khuzestein is nominally part of Persia, but the management rights belong to the umbrella company. The highest executive appointed by the Kaiga dynasty could only stay in Isfahan, and even Khuzestein could not enter.

The plague is rampant in the area around Huzistein, and the situation of Huzistein at the center of the plague is naturally not optimistic. The umbrella company has temporarily stopped immigration to Huzistein and will continue to develop Huzistein until the situation stabilizes.

"Now there are less than 10,000 Persians in Huzistein. We are working hard to restore the order of Huzistein, clear the ruins left over from the war, bury corpses, and restore the farm, but it will take a long time to restore the state before the war." Tang En is becoming more and more mature now. He looks big and thick, but in fact he is very delicate. Rock did not misjudgment.

"How is the oil field?" Rock sent a telegram to Li De before departure, and the military observation team would rest in Port Elizabeth for two or three days, and then head to the Elizabeth Oilfield.

"Everything is normal, but the Ottoman Empire has continued to increase its troops during this period. Basra now has two cavalry divisions and two infantry divisions, which poses great threat to our oil fields. We are transferring troops back from Muscat and the New Cape of Good Hope to guard against the possible attacks by the Ottoman Empire." Tang En was also uncomfortable. Although the Umbrella Company is strong, the stall is too big, the front line is too long and it is inevitable that it is stretched. After sending troops to Khuzestan, the garrison in Port Elizabeth once had only 3,000 troops left, and the situation is in danger.

Fortunately, the Ottoman Empire did not have the courage to go to war with Britain, and the situation has only been stalemate until now, but the Basra's garrison still poses a huge threat to the Elizabeth oil field.

In 1912, the world's demand for oil was growing explosively. Rock only knew that the number of cars in southern Africa had exceeded 100,000 from less than 100 in 1905, but he did not know that the number of cars in the United States had increased from only 75,000 in 1905, and by 1912, it had reached nearly 1.5 million.

Just recently, British Navy Secretary Winston announced that he would stop ordering warships powered by coal, and all of them were changed to the latest internal combustion engines.

This decision caused an uproar, with France and Germany following the example of Britain and replacing it with the new era, which further exacerbated the world's dependence on oil.

Oil fields in the United States were developed relatively early. Although the United States' oil production is still relatively high, many of the oil fields that were developed earlier are on the verge of exhaustion, so Standard Oil is not having a good life. While Rock regards oil as his lifeline, Standard Oil is also actively looking for new oil fields. This is why Standard Oil persists on the peninsula.

For the Ottoman Empire, the Elizabeth Oilfield was a huge temptation. If the Elizabeth Oilfield could be controlled, the Ottoman Empire could increase its bargaining chips and regain the respect of European countries. This time, it greatly alleviated the danger that the Ottoman Empire is facing now.

The end of the Balkans did not restore peace to the Ottoman Empire. Instead, due to the further weakening of the Ottoman Empire, the domestic situation became increasingly unstable. In the current Ottoman Empire, sporadic uprisings are constantly occurring in various parts of the country, and the Al Shabaab and conservative forces are facing each other. The Asian Minor Peninsula is full of war. If this problem is not handled well, then the Asian Minor Peninsula will also lose control like the Balkans.

In fact, it deserves it. The Ottoman Empire is a multi-ethnic country. Although the Ottoman Empire is a centralized state in name, in fact, the Ottoman Empire has very weak control over all ethnic groups in its territory. As long as all ethnic groups in its territory swore allegiance to the Ottoman Sultan, the Ottoman Empire will even allow all ethnic groups to be self-governed.

This way of rule can remain stable without being attacked by external forces. Once someone instigates it, the collapse of order will inevitably be avoided.

"The Ottoman Empire is stepping up the construction of the railway between Bagh and Basra. The construction progress of this railway was very slow before, only more than a dozen miles a year. Now this railway was entrusted to the Germans by the Ottoman government, and the construction progress has been greatly accelerated. The Ottoman Empire recently decided to build a railway between Damascus and Medina. The British railway company is competing with the German railway company. Should we also intervene?" Li De was not responsible for the military and was more concerned about the railway. Port Elizabeth is also building a railway between Muscat, and it is also progressing very quickly.

Muscat has now been renamed Georgetown, not to please George V, but to downplay Muscat's history and strengthen Muscat's British attributes, which is more conducive to subsequent operations.

"Germany?" Rock was surprised. In the previous reports of Donn and Li De, Germany's influence on the Ottoman Empire was never mentioned.

"Yes, the German railway company undertakes the Baghdad Railway. Now they are building bridges on the Euphrates River. It is estimated that the railway will be opened to traffic next year." Li De finally felt the pressure, and the centipede worm died without being stiff...-->>
