Chapter 1153 Thunder Methods
For conflicts at the diplomatic level, Venezuela cannot bear the wrath of great powers like East Africa. In this era, it all depends on who has the biggest fist.
A country as powerful as the Far Eastern Empire has been bullied by the big powers, let alone a small and poor country like Venezuela.
Venezuela has no backing. It was once a Spanish colony, but like other countries in Latin America, it has long been independent from Spain.
Putting aside whether Venezuela is independent or not, even if Venezuela is still a Spanish colony, East Africa will not be timid here. After all, Spain cannot be stubborn in front of East Africa.
Although Spain is the goalkeeper of the great powers, there is no comparison with top powers like East Africa. If it is a new power like Japan, the two countries may be able to compete.
As for the city of Maracaibo, it is quite special. It is located in the northwest of Venezuela and is the capital of the state of Zulia. For about four hundred years, the Maracaibo region has been isolated from other states in Venezuela. Transport on the lake is only possible by ferry or other sea transport, thereby connecting with the outside world and the capital.
Therefore, the East African Navy's previous visit to Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, had little impact on the city of Maracaibo.
This also makes the local forces lack some understanding of great powers like East Africa, but there is no big problem. East Africa will help them make up for this lesson.
"Boss Carmen, why don't we cause trouble for the East Africans like this! East Africa is a big country in the world after all. If they want to deal with us, we won't feel better?" Rhodes, one of the leaders of Lai Dani's gang, said worriedly.
As the top leader of the gang, Carmen said slowly and leisurely: "Humph, it's rare and strange. We have not dealt with the Americans, the British, and the Spanish. None of these three countries are big countries. East Africa is just a country with only a few years of history. Is it possible that this country will be more deterrent than other powers?”
As the gang boss, Carmen is not illiterate, but he has not read many books. He was originally a dock worker, and later joined the Laidani gang. He established a firm foothold in the Laidani gang with his strength and fierceness. .
He also gained the appreciation of Lai Dani, the original Dani gang boss, and quickly became the gang's second-in-command. Later, Lai Dani died, and Carmen took over his position.
In the past few years, under the leadership of Carmen, it can be said that the Dani gang has developed rapidly. There are more than 200 core members alone, and if you include peripheral personnel, there are as many as 1,000 people.
The city of Maracaibo is not that big, so the Laidani gang has naturally become the largest evil force in the area.
All in all, Carmen's rise in Maracaibo City relied on fierceness and ruthlessness. Her personal knowledge is almost negligible, and her history, geography, and the like are even more of a mess.
East Africa was originally an emerging country. It only emerged in the world after the South African War. Although its national power has grown rapidly in recent years, it really has no reputation in some remote areas of the world with backward transportation.
This is also the main reason why Carmen does not understand East Africa. Of course, East Africa has become one of the top powers after all, so Carmen has not heard of this African country.
Carmen said to Rhodes: "A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Even if East Africa is very capable, they cannot come across the Atlantic to show off their power to us. Moreover, the East African Petroleum Company is just a company. Is it possible that they can mobilize the government?" Strength to help them come forward!”
Before investing in East Africa, there were really no large enterprises in Maracaibo, and the local finance was almost supported by agriculture and some primary industries.
Therefore, the companies that Carmen has seen are generally not big, and Carmen is a local snake, which makes him feel even more confident.
Carmen continued: "The East African Oil Company has no vision. They have the money to build such a big office building, but in the end they gave us so little money. It was like sending bums away, especially the guy named Endel, who wore He looks like a dog, but he still complains about his poverty.”
This is because Carmen misunderstood Endel. East African Petroleum Company is indeed wealthy, but the money has nothing to do with Endel, and East African Petroleum Company, as an East African state-owned enterprise, has a sense of arrogance in its heart.
Endel's willingness to contact a monster like Carmen has already given Carmen enough face. As for paying more "protection fees", that is not something Endel can decide. As a state-owned enterprise, East African Petroleum Company, every fund is recorded in The person who filed the case is not some private boss who has enough autonomy. Carmen said proudly: "In this three-acre land in Maracaibo City, even the governor wants to give me some face. How can I be frightened by some foreign businessmen?"
"So what kind of factory does the East African Petroleum Company want to build? If they don't give us the price of trade, they won't even think about starting the construction. Next, guys, please listen to me."
"Whenever you have free time, go to their construction sites to make trouble so that they can't start work. If you have any supplies, take them away for me, even the bricks and sand. We'll take away some interest first."
…
In this way, in the next few days, the construction site of the East African Petroleum Company was delayed in starting work. People who came to the Dani gang every day were watching the area, and whenever there was any movement, they would call a lot of gang members to come and cause trouble.
He even directly deducted a lot of construction materials from the East African Petroleum Company. Endel's face was almost green with anger, but after half a month, he finally received reinforcements.
"Are you Endel?" A middle-aged man with a cold face came to the East African Oil Company.
"Your Excellency is the person recommended by Consul Kwell?" Endel asked.
This man was not easy to mess with at first glance. Endel judged that he even seemed to feel a murderous aura, but he did not dare to ask more questions.
"This is a letter written by Consul Kewell. You will know after reading it." The man took out a letter with the consulate's paint seal from his pocket.
Endel took the letter with some fear and read it. The letter did not mention much information. He only told Endel to fully cooperate with the man's request and not to ask any other questions.
The middle-aged man asked: "Tell me all the information you know about Dani's gang, and you won't need to worry about it in the next few days."
Endel already had some guesses in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything. He honestly told the man in black some of the information he had learned before.
The man in black didn't say much. After understanding the situation, he left alone. Even though Endel had a lot to say in his heart, he didn't dare to ask. However, there was no movement in the two days after this man saw Endel.
On the third night, Endel had begun to forget about the incident, just as he was about to lie down in bed and fall asleep.
"Bang bang bang..."
A burst of fierce gunfire rang out in the city of Maracaibo, which shocked Endel, who had just fallen asleep. He didn't bother to put on his clothes, and hurriedly came to a window closer to the gunfire, and opened the curtains to check. Condition.
I heard a continuous burst of gunfire and noise from the intersection of the slums and the urban area in the southwest of Maracaibo City. The gunfire lasted for less than five minutes, and some sporadic gunfire could be heard later. .
A short while later, a raging fire broke out in the southwest corner of Maracaibo. Endel stood by the window. At this time, his pajamas were soaked with cold sweat. A terrible thought arose in his mind. After the firelight ended, it took a long time to recover.
That night, like Endel, many citizens of Maracaibo did not sleep. The fierce gun battles in the city made everyone tremble with fear. Just hearing the intensity of the gunfire, it was probably at least hundreds of people fighting.
The next day, at dawn, a brave Malay came to Kaibo City and arrived at the place where the gunshots were heard yesterday. He was frightened to death.
In the meantime, corpses of gang members were lying outside the gathering place of the Lai Dani gang. The gang building was also smoked into a lifeless atmosphere by fireworks. The Lai Dani gang was completely wiped out!
