When the angle of the sun became favorable to his side, Hans slowly stood up holding his MP40 submachine gun, looked at the machine gun and rifle teams on both sides, and said in a low voice: "Sweat?"

The team members responded in unison, "For the blood!"

"Machine gun crew, forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hans jumped out of the sand dune and ran quickly to the corner of another sand dune. The machine gunner, assistant gunner, and ammunition transporter followed closely.

As soon as they arrived at the target point, Hans stood guard with a gun; the lightly equipped assistant gunner arrived two seconds later than him, knelt on his knees, and used an engineer shovel to beat the sand surface to compact it; the ammunition transporter arrived a second later, put down the ammunition box, took down the machine gun bipod hanging at his waist and stood it on the ground.

As soon as it was set up, the machine gunner holding the MG34 general-purpose machine gun arrived, mounted the machine gun on the bipod, waited for the ammunition transporter to load the ammunition belt, pulled the bolt, and immediately pulled the trigger.

As soon as the machine gun sounded, Deputy Captain Peter waved his hand and jumped out of the sand dune with five members of the rifle group, forming two three-person cover formations and quickly advancing towards the exploration team.

"Los! Los! Los!"

Peter ran and shouted, his hands skillfully pulling the trigger, pulling the bolt, and pulling the trigger again.

The Dürer team, which was composed of a professional German infantry squad, faced the unprofessional and lazy exploration team and it was a one-sided massacre. The battle lasted less than 80 seconds. Peter led the rifle team into the exploration team's camp, and the machine gun team stayed in place to provide cover.

Four members of the rifle group were on guard without bayonets, while two of them wore bayonets and stabbed each corpse once in the neck and heart, making sure that each stab hit the vital points. If they were not sure, they would stab again and would never let the matter go.

After finishing the finishing job, the rifle team then cleaned up the battlefield. The bullets on the corpses were dug out, and the empty bullets were recovered as much as possible. All the belongings were taken away one by one, and all traces were cleared away, as if no one had ever set foot here.

After a period of time, several corpses that were only shot in the head will appear somewhere deep in the desert. Their heads will be chopped off and a large hole will be dug out in the heart.

Deep in the desert, there used to be an oasis and a village living near the water. After a few years, the environment of the oasis became harsh, with quicksand rampant, making it no longer suitable for human habitation, so the village was relocated.

It was originally just a simple matter, but because the quicksand would bury the houses in the village at night, some busybodies gave it a mysterious color - the village was troubled by elves who drove away the villagers. These elves were supernatural creatures made of air and fire.

Therefore, this village is also called a ghost town.

People are afraid of ghosts, and this fact can be used to good advantage.

In Iran, Khomeini, a Kashmiri whose ancestral home is in India, has been awarded the title of "Ayatollah". He is no longer satisfied with being a pure charlatan. He has developed a keen interest in Islamic jurisprudence and ancient Greek philosophy, especially the republicanism advocated by Plato and Aristotle.

To put it bluntly, his thoughts have resonated with countless "predecessors" - are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species? The emperor takes turns, and it will be my turn next year!
In 1941, Reza Khan was forced to abdicate and pass the throne to his son Reza Pahlavi under the military intervention of Britain and the Soviet Union because he refused to draw a clear line with Germany.

Khomeini seized this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the monarchy. In his book "The Key of Secrets", he pointed out that the decrees issued by Reza Khan were worthless and that the government must be organized according to the laws of God.

Most Iranians hold Shia clergy and imams in high esteem, tend to be pious and traditional, and dislike the Westernization imposed by the Shah. In the late 19th century, the clergy demonstrated their political power when they launched the Tobacco Protests, opposing the granting of tobacco concessions to foreign countries.

Khomeini also proposed in The Key of the Secret that "all critics of Islam" should be killed by believers.

Iran had an anti-clerical nationalist writer named Ahmed Kasrawi, who was shot in 1946 because of the religious or political program proposed by Khomeini, and the people responsible for its execution came from the Islamic Death Squad.

The Islamic Death Squad was ostensibly established by the theological student Nawab Safavi. Its purpose was to extend the requirements of compliance with Islamic law to prohibit alcohol, tobacco, opium, movies, gambling, and Western clothing. Thieves would have their hands chopped off, women would have to wear veils, and school courses that were not related to Muslims, such as music, would be cancelled.

But in fact, the most important responsibility of the organization is to eliminate all those who are not conducive to the Shiite Ayatollah's control of power in Iran. Ahmed Kasravi is just a whetstone. Now the death squad has sharpened its knives and wants to assassinate Iranian Prime Minister Haji Ali Razmara in the name of proposing suggestions that are not conducive to oil nationalization.

This assassination will definitely succeed because Mohammad Mossadegh is already gearing up to take over. If the position is not vacated, who will he take over as Der?

To use the language of "Islamic iron", Mossadegh and the Shiites at this time had a like-minded revolutionary friendship. As for whether Mossadegh still maintained his piety of "armed defense of the Shiites" after coming to power, we can only laugh.

Iran's status in the Arab region was very high at this time. Tehran was like Sarajevo in 1914. Any slight disturbance would affect the entire Arab region. For example, the financial wind in the UAE region was blowing from the direction of Tehran.

Four and a half years ago, the Imperial Bank of Persia established a branch in Dubai, which marked the beginning of Dubai's modern financial institutions. The Imperial Bank of Persia was a bank registered in London in 1885, with its main funding coming from Greenmills, Henry Schroeder and David Sassoon.

Greenmills was sold to the Royal Bank of Scotland and Henri Schroders became Schroders Asset Management.

David Sassoon & Company was founded by David Sassoon in Mumbai. It is a symbol of the Sassoon family's external business activities and can also be said to be the starting point of the Sassoon family's glory.

After his sons grew up, David Sassoon adopted the same routine as the Rothschild family and dispersed his sons to various places to develop on their own. In theory, he was the head of the family and the sole owner of the industries in various places, and his sons worked for him. In other words, David Sassoon's company had industries all over the place.

But in fact, the sons had divided the family business privately. They still recognized David Sassoon as their father but did not regard him as their boss. They still conducted external business activities in the name of David Sassoon Company, but the accounts were clearly divided.

Just like the funds provided to the Imperial Bank of Persia actually came from Grace's branch of the Sassoon family. To a certain extent, the Imperial Bank of Persia and HSBC are both financial banks controlled by the Sassoon family, and the two are brother units.

Singapore.

Grace saw Narcissus off and sat back in her chair, deep in thought with a letter in her hand.

The letter was sent by Narcissus, from Adam, asking her to help transfer 50 rupees to the Dubai branch of the Imperial Bank of Persia, with the money to be paid from the loan of 300 million Malaysian ringgit.

She knew that Xian Yaowen was going to the Middle East, but she didn't expect the destination to be Dubai, and she didn't expect him to make any big moves. 50 rupees obviously couldn't be used to buy pearls, so what would it be used for?
"You didn't tell me in advance, but left a letter asking for my help. Is this telling me that you're not going to hide it from me, and you're not going to take me along? Is it a big risk or a big benefit?" Grace leaned back in her chair, looking at the ceiling, chewing, "Dubai..."

After a long while, she sat up straight, her eyes wide open, and whispered, "Oil?"

new York.

It was late at night, and Cen Peipei, wearing pajamas, hung up the phone with a serious face.

Carlo Gambino just called and invited her to meet him. He said that there was a car waiting downstairs to take her to the meeting place as a guide.

She was not worried that Carlo Gambino would do something bad to her. The old man once said that Carlo Gambino was a villain, but he had ambitious goals. He was now at the beginning of his journey towards his goals. He needed a lot of help from the old man, and the honeymoon period between the two sides would be very long.

She believed in the master's judgment and was not worried about her own safety. However, Carlo Gambino called so late and was eager to meet him. Was it because he had encountered an urgent matter and wanted the master to help?
After standing in front of the phone and thinking for a long time, she picked up the phone and called Zheng Huixian.

It took a long time for the call to be connected. After expressing her apologies, she asked Zheng Huixian to send a fax to Hong Kong immediately - at 23:45 New York time, Mr. Tang made an urgent appointment to meet me, and the reason for the meeting would be informed later.

Wang Xiamin received the fax immediately and asked Qi Weiwen to send the message to the outside world.

dubai.

A small oasis deep in the desert.

Chuanfei stood on the sand dune and looked at the assault training of the Queen's Cavalry Squadron under the camel flag in the distance.

Naming the squad after the Queen is quite ostentatious and goes against the low-key naming style of Xian Yaowen's armed forces. This is because the Queen's Cavalry Squadron may not remain hidden forever, and may be expanded into a cavalry regiment or even a cavalry division in the future. Currently the cavalry squad's mounts are horses and camels, and in the future they may be helicopters and transport planes.

Xian Yaowen has two plans for Dubai. It would be best if he could seize the benefits of this place through business. If not, occupying the place by himself is also an option.

The Queen's Cavalry is the Dubai people's own team. They fight against oppression, exploitation and colonialism. They want to overthrow the three mountains on the people's heads and build a thriving and prosperous new Dubai.

Perhaps, the Queen's Cavalry Squadron will be renamed the New Dubai Defense Queen's Cavalry Division in the future.

After looking for a while, a look of worry appeared on Chuanfei's face. The expenses of the cavalry team were really too high. The cost of raising a war horse in the desert was almost as much as that of six or seven people, and it had to be carefully cared for.

It would not be possible without war horses, as it is impossible to build a light cavalry tactical system relying solely on camels.

The so-called light cavalry, also known as mounted infantry, can ride quickly on horseback to seize advantageous terrain, then dismount and deploy into battle formation to annihilate the enemy at lightning speed.

This was the specialty of the Australian light cavalry in Palestine during World War I. In the Battle of Beersheba in 1917, 800 Australian light cavalry captured Beersheba, which was defended by 3000 Turkish soldiers and fully equipped with light and heavy weapons. After the battle, the light cavalry only paid the price of 60 people.

Although the greatest honor of this battle should be awarded to the incompetent Turkish officers, and the Australian Light Cavalry's victory was a fluke, in the UAE, the Arabs could not get all the weapons of the Turkish army back then, and the officers were basically impossible to be stronger than the Turkish officers of that time. The Queen's Cavalry Squadron was able to sweep across the desert in a short time.

When the light cavalry tactics are about to become ineffective, the tactical system should also be upgraded. The camels remain the same, but the war horses are replaced by tracked trailer motorcycles, with a driver and two machine gunners, who will launch a rapid assault.

Now, a dozen people and a dozen horses have already put him under great pressure. In the future, as the staff increases and the equipment is upgraded, the pressure will be even greater. There are only expenses but no income. How should the accounts be balanced?
After a dividend distribution, members of the Armadillo Team realized that Xian Yaowen did not paint a rosy picture for them. Their shareholder awareness was awakened, their cohesion was stronger, and they were more concerned about the future development of the Armadillo Team. Although no one has asked to see the accounts for the time being, they have to take the initiative to do some of the things that should be done.

The expenses of the Falcon and Camel are all paid by the Armadillo Team. When the dividends are distributed again at the end of this year, an explanation will need to be given to the shareholders. The captain's plan here is not known for the long term. If the investment is too long and too much, it will be difficult for him to explain to his brothers.

After all, the brothers are all on the edge of a knife and are at risk of dying in battle at any time. They still have doubts about "whether the captain will acknowledge their death if they die". If they want to reassure their brothers completely, a real case needs to happen, but this means someone will die.

Chufangfei frowned, feeling a little annoyed. He had too many things to worry about now, and he was overwhelmed.

Suddenly, a member of the communications team ran over and handed over a telegram, "Boss, a call from Hong Kong."

Chufangfei took it, looked at it, and handed it back to the team member, "Have someone send it to Kothari Manor immediately."

"Yes."

Hong Kong.

Temple Street, English restaurant.

Xian Yaowu sat at a seat near the window, ordered a cup of Yuanyang, and then admired with interest the sign hanging above the cash register, on which were written two large characters "Wenying" from right to left.

Before entering the store, he looked at the vertical sign hanging on the wall. On it were four big characters "English Restaurant" written from top to bottom, "English" on the outside and "Wenying" on the inside. Ying is Zheng Yueying, which is easy to understand. Is Wen Xian Yaowen?

He thought it should be, but he didn't know whether Zheng Yueying was sincere or doing it for others to see. Based on his understanding of Zheng Yueying, this woman was very scheming and it was possible that she was putting on a show.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of the Yuanyang, and found that the taste was almost the same as the Yuanyang from Shanjinlou. He lamented that Shanjinlou had lost another secret skill.

Since Shan Jin Lou opened for business, it has been leading the tea restaurant market. Every dish it serves has been trendsetting and has only been imitated but never surpassed. Many gourmets in Hong Kong Island travel across the sea just to have a bite of Shan Jin Lou's freshly baked egg tarts and pineapple buns and drink a cup of silk stocking milk tea.

This year's mooncake club already has more than 1.5 members contributing, and there are also many group purchases that have been notified in advance. Mid-Autumn mooncake suppliers for multiple government units such as the police force and fire department have already made money. During the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, Shanjinlou's profit will exceed .

Thinking of this, Xian Yaowu couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. His elder sister-in-law was not around, and his elder brother had only been in charge for a period of time, but Shanjinlou was able to run so well, and he didn't know what else he could do.

To be honest, he really thought that the fish ball and roast meat business was very good, but Jie Ling did not support it, and his eldest brother would probably oppose it, so he had to give up. However, he did not quite agree with the idea of ​​opening a taxi company. The main problem was not the fierce competition in the taxi industry, but the problem of the industry itself.

The driver has to go out every day and face all kinds of customers. He is easily exposed to some information and misled by others. The eldest brother wants him to go into politics. Once he sets out, he will inevitably face competitors. Drivers from other taxi companies may not go on strike, but his taxi company will definitely do so.

Just as he was thinking, Zheng Yueying came, dressed neatly and luxuriously, but she did not look like a lady or a young lady.

She sat opposite Xian Yaowu, took out a box of Lucky Strike cigarettes, lit one for herself, and did not give one to Xian Yaowu because Xian Yaowu already had a recently lit cigarette between his fingers.

"Mr. Xian, does Mr. Xian have something for me to do?"

Xian Yaowu put the cigarette on the corner of the table and said calmly: "No, my brother told me a story, and I think it is necessary to share it with you."

"A story?" Zheng Yueying's eyes became blurred.

"A story about 'Lucky Luciano.'" Xian Yaowu took two puffs of the cigarette, then threw it on the ground and told the story slowly, "Luciano was from Sicily, Italy. He immigrated to the United States at the age of nine and became a street thug in New York at the age of fifteen. In 1925, when Luciano was 1200 years old, he had already made a name for himself, with an annual income of more than 400 million US dollars. After paying politicians and police, he still had million US dollars left.

In the 1930s, Luciano reorganized the American Mafia Committee and became the boss of all American mafias. His status was equivalent to that of the chief leader of the Tiandihui. All Italian mafia members in the United States had to obey his orders.

However, as the saying goes, "A tall tree attracts the wind." The Mafia Committee was targeted by special prosecutor Thomas Dewey, and the Mafia suffered heavy losses as a result. Someone clamored to kill Dewey, but before the person who clamored could do anything, the Mafia Committee sent its own killer to kill the man.

Dewey was the Dewey who participated in the 1948 US presidential election. Because Dewey advocated increasing aid to the National Government in the campaign to counter the Soviet Union's expansion in East Asia, Chiang Kai-shek sponsored Dewey with $400 million. It is said that this money was taken from the US aid given by Truman.

Zheng Yueying suddenly felt a little dazed, as if the person sitting opposite her was not Xian Yaowu, but her husband. But she quickly realized that Xian Yaowu was just parroting her husband's words and speaking in his voice.

"So, why did you tell me a story about the American Mafia, sir?"

"It took Dewey several years to collect enough evidence to put Luciano in jail. If nothing unexpected happened, Luciano would spend fifty years in jail.

However, the war broke out. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy and Luciano reached some kind of agreement. Luciano was rewarded for defending New York and helping the Allies enter Sicily. He was released from prison in 1946, but could not stay in the United States and was sent back to Italy.
