Chapter 150 Blackwater Security
"It's oil!" Karl's eyes were obviously a little excited, "Have you predicted the reserves?"

"Mr. Tuolei said that this is a large oil field with estimated reserves of no less than one billion tons, and the oil is of high quality and easy to process."

"Billion tons?"

Karl's eyes widened in an instant, and after the astonishment, there was endless joy.

"Quickly, contact Mr. Torrey, I want to hear from him personally."

"The news must be confirmed as soon as possible."

……

Washington, an international call to Payton's office.

"Boss, the oil is coming out! The oil is coming out! A large oil field with a billion-ton level is of high quality and the production cost is extremely low."

A billion tons!
Now that he has participated in the investment in the oil industry, Payton naturally understands the concept of this.

Peyton could hear the excitement in Carl's words.

In an instant, he was also infected, and a strong excitement emerged in his heart.

Thinking of maintaining his aloof image in front of his subordinates, Peyton managed to suppress the excitement in his heart, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

There is no doubt that this is good news.

Payton made a bet before and made a lot of money.

"Very good, Carl, mobilize technical personnel as quickly as possible to build the base and prepare for oil extraction."

"Yes! Boss."

"But I worry about some extra thoughts from the local government."

Peyton frowned slightly: "Is there any problem with those mining documents? We already have exploration and mining rights, and the share has been properly formulated, right?"

"Ah."

"That's okay. If you encounter problems, you can directly contact the federal embassy in the local area. A small country in North Africa dare not do anything to our federal company."

"At the same time, I will also send the next group of Blackwater members to protect the company's property and your safety."

After hanging up the phone, Peyton called Mr. Chris's office directly.

"Hello, this is the Governor's Office."

Payton: "This is Chris Jr., contact Mr. Governor for me."

"Ok."

Hearing Payton's voice, the governor's assistant did not dare to neglect.

After a while, the assistant handed the phone to Mr. Chris.

Suddenly, Mr. Chris's familiar voice came from the phone.

"Hey, Peyton, contact me suddenly, what's the matter?"

Payton: "Good news, my previous bet on Africa has won."

Mr. Chris was surprised: "Bet? Isn't it to open up the clothing market?"

Payton shook his head: "No, it's oil. Alabama's chemical industry cannot do without oil."

"I bet on Libya, large-scale survey and oil extraction, and oil came out not long ago!"

"A large oil field with a billion-ton class!"

Mr. Chris obviously didn't understand the concept of one billion tons. He only heard that it was a big oil field, so he knew it was not a small number.

Mr. Chris smiled: "This is a good thing, Peyton."

Peyton shook his head: "You still don't understand what kind of concept this is. In 1956, the entire Middle East only produced 8600 million tons."

Mr. Chris was finally moved: "The output of the Middle East for more than ten years? So big?"

Payton shook his head: "It can't be compared like this. There are also billion-ton oil fields in the Middle East. There are three in Saudi Arabia. Due to technical conditions, international relations, and various factors, their production is not much. It keeps improving every year.”

"However, one billion tons is definitely not a small number, and it can completely push Alabama's chemical industry to a new level."

Mr. Chris became more and more calm: "So, what do you hope?"

Payton smiled slightly: "I hope you can help me contact the Alabama Veterans Association. Next, I will expand the scale of Blackwater Security to protect my local property."

"You know, after all, half of Libya's foot is in the Middle East, which is more dangerous."

Mr. Chris nodded: "I understand, I will contact you next."

Soon.

Mr. Chris called again: "I have already contacted the Alabama Veterans, but your time is urgent. I have asked Cheeks, and he will help you."

"it is good."

Payton didn't say much, he knew very well that since the last campaign, the military has put more chips on his father.

At the governor's celebration banquet, military personnel appeared.

Cheeks, a lieutenant colonel serving in a special agency of the Ministry of Defense, and a comrade-in-arms of Mr. Chris, this is their hub.

……

Hotel entrance.

"Mr. Chris, Mr. Cheeks would like to invite you to lunch. Do you have time?"

The person who came was wearing a somewhat old-fashioned formal suit, and what the old-fashioned said was that there were no trendy lines or color blocks on this dress.

In fact, formal clothes can also have trends, such as fabrics, background colors, and the way some corners are treated.

However, the clothes on this person's body are very old-fashioned and stable.

This allows people to see the identities of these people at a glance-government workers.

Stubbornness is for stability.

Working in government departments, especially the middle and lower levels, stability is a very important label.

They can do everything rigidly according to the rules and regulations, but they can't escape, be unconventional, and be different.

When the former do something wrong, people will think that the mistake comes from the thing itself.

The execution process is not up to date. People will say that the execution people are not flexible enough, but that's all.

But when the latter does something wrong, people will have a feeling of "I knew he was going to do something wrong", "he never followed the rules, and he will definitely make mistakes", and this kind of thing is actually fatal .

So it is better to be rigid than to be clear. This is a certain rule, a certain system, that the government's bottom staff need to abide by.

This is true both in the East and the West.

Peyton stood on the side of the road and looked him up and down. At this time, the bodyguards had already led people around Peyton faintly, and surrounded the people who struck up a conversation with him.

Every time Payton goes out, he will bring some employees of Blackwater Security Company, or security guards, bodyguards with him, and they are always on the lookout for possible dangers.

For this, he will not have the slightest carelessness, and his hard work to make money is not to leave a rich inheritance.

Although he knows that the end of life may not be the end.

With the expansion of his business, the expression of certain intentions can sometimes become an obstacle in the eyes of some people.

In this way, the necessary security protection is a must.

"I'll take my car, you just need to lead the way..."

After Peyton finished speaking, he didn't give the other party a chance to refuse, and directly got into the car prepared for him by the Blackwater security staff.

The person who came to invite Payton was stunned for a while, and then got into the car to lead Payton.

Although Payton's attitude made him uncomfortable, he could only endure it. He was very clear about Payton's identity, as well as his own identity and position.

Not long after, Peyton came to a remote small restaurant and met Cheeks here.

Cheeks was already seated at the table, and Peyton was quickly seated with the help of the restaurant waiter.

"I want to thank you, Mr Cheeks."

Peyton shook out the napkin and said words of thanks.

Cheeks smiled and waved his hands: "I also want to thank you for being able to provide more jobs for veterans."

"And it is our responsibility to protect the overseas property of federal citizens."

Peyton smiled: "You are right, but I still need to express my gratitude, not only because of Mr. Chris, after all, there is also friendship between you and me."

Cheeks glanced at Peyton and smiled.

A word of thanks quickly dispelled the strangeness between the two. After the main course was served, they began to chat about some more core matters.

"Sir, I would like to know, what is the attitude of the Federation towards the protection of citizens overseas and the difficulties of the local government...?"

Peyton smiled and asked his own question.

Cheeks subconsciously looked at Peyton.

Facing Peyton's smiling face, he quickly realized what he was doing and let go of his scrutiny.

"The federation is obliged to protect the life and property of every overseas citizen. The federation will not intervene too much in the personal behavior of citizens in non-sensitive areas."

"Similarly, for some sensitive areas, the Federation will devote the highest attention to provide support and protection."

"I'm curious, those are sensitive, how are the individual actions of citizens defined, can you tell me?"

Peyton raised his hands slightly as he said: "Let me make a point first, I will not tell anyone about this, and I may not give any action. I am just curious, is it convenient to say?"

Cheeks nodded after thinking for a while.

"If you pay attention, you should know that we are competing with that red country. In this situation, once it can attract the attention of the other party, it is considered sensitive."

"On the other hand, as long as the personal behavior of citizens conforms to subjective consciousness and does not cause important impact internationally, the Federation will not intervene."

"Of course, some issues may not be in line with public perception, but they are in the interest of the federal government. We will provide some confidential support."

As he said that, he paused, "Actually, we still don't want to see citizens involved, maybe it's the personal subjective behavior of local employees of the citizen's company..."

Payton listened, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This lieutenant colonel is very interesting!

No wonder it will become an important member of the military in the government.
