Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"You mean, a fast message was sent from Africa, but the king is not here now?"

"Yes, Queen."

"Well, you go down first and send as many people as possible to find His Majesty. Also, see where Chirac is. He should know." Patricia thought for a while and said again.

"Yes, Queen"

Looking at the distant figure, Patricia fell into deep thought. In the past few years, Alfonso would often disappear like this every once in a while. Of course, he had no doubts. After all, as a king, there are many secrets that others know. However, now she is greatly suspicious, because she discovered that whenever Alfonso disappears, Elena, the Minister of Regional Policy and Public Administration, also It's like disappearing suddenly. It's normal once or twice, but the number of times has accumulated more and more over the past few years. This is too abnormal. Could it be that they really have an affair? However, this idea was suddenly thrown aside by her. She really trusted Alfonso, so although she had doubts, she still didn't believe that her judgment would be wrong. After all, she knew that Yes, Alfonso has been very peaceful since he married her. Shouldn't he do anything to feel sorry for her?

But what she didn't know was that Alfonso did not find another lover after marrying her, but already existed before her, and now Alfonso was officially in love not far from him for a long time.

Angola is a country in southwestern Africa. With an area of ​​nearly 1.2 million square kilometers, it can be said that it is a big country in terms of area, at least in Africa. In Cabinda, which is far away from the mainland, there are now many people wearing oil workers' clothes in Paris. Exploring, which shows that they are oil explorers of a certain company.

It has been almost half a year since Wayne Rooney came to Angola. As the deputy manager of the exploration department of Spain's Occidental Petroleum Company, he would not have come to this sparsely populated remote place in Angola due to his noble status, but here he is. .

This was mainly due to a bet he made after being drunk, that is, he believed that there would be oil in Angola, because he used to be an oil prospector, so after seeing Cabinda, he believed that Cabinda should have an amount of oil. Quite a few reserves. But other people sniffed at this and said he was talking nonsense. This, of course, dissatisfied him, who thought he had superb exploration skills, so once he got drunk, he agreed that if an oil field with a daily output of 10,000 tons was not explored in Angola, he would live in Angola for ten years. Back to Spain. So, Wayne came to Cabinda, Angola. After wandering around for the first month, he finally confirmed a location, so he shipped various advanced oil exploration instruments from Spain to here. Fortunately, Western Petroleum Company has Oil exploration is also very active, so it gives him more convenience in this aspect and does not make things difficult for him. That's why the instrument came to Cabinda so easily.

But despite this, Wayne still felt that his judgment was not wrong. He firmly believed in his vision that there must be oil here, and it was the kind with large reserves.

He has always had a faint smile on his face during this time, giving people the feeling that he has a pearl of wisdom in his hand. As for why? Quite simply, because he is afraid of spreading his frustration to others. The unhurried smiling expression on his face was very successful during this period, allowing oil exploration operators including Paul to continue working hard on the work at hand.

Paul worked hard on the drilling machine. The underground mud, sand and rocks were quickly brought out by the drilling machine. Bang bang, the drilling machine was very restless. Wayne looked at it and sighed in his heart. I wonder if another drill bit will have to be replaced today. Thinking of the arrogance of the men in the drill bit equipment department at the headquarters, Wayne sighed. A headache. ….

The rig seemed to be in real trouble. Wayne saw the drill vibrating more violently, as if it had hit something hard, probably some kind of hard rock layer! In this case, drilling becomes more difficult. Progress underground came to a halt for a moment.

"Hey! Manager, we're in trouble," Paul said, wiping the sweat from his face.

"What's going on?" Wayne had a bad premonition, but still asked calmly.

"We encountered a hard rock layer. We don't know how thick this rock layer is. It will probably take a lot of effort." Paul thought for a while before saying.

"Can I still continue to work?" Wayne asked. He didn't want to be hindered by the difficulties in front of him.

"No, the drill bit is very hot now because it was drilled too hard just now. It needs to wait for a while. Otherwise, if you wait for a while, it will be unbearable and it will break."

"Is that so? That's okay. Let's take a break first and then work again later. Let's drink half a glass of wine first and I'll treat you." Wayne said with a smile. Now he can only rely on the employees' enthusiasm to continue. Went down. The indifferent look on his face made others think it was a trivial matter.

"Paul, come here with me." Wayne called Paul aside. After making sure he was far away from other people, his face suddenly darkened. "Tell me, what is going on?"

"We have indeed encountered a rock layer. In my estimation, this rock layer should be quite thick and very solid." Paul said seriously as he looked at the gravel in his hand.

"Is that really difficult?"

"No wonder I heard that the Biaojie Petroleum Company came here to explore but didn't find anything. Now that I think about it, it must have encountered the same situation as us," Paul said again.

Damn it, it turns out those people know about this and are waiting to see my joke? When Wayne heard what happened before the combination, he didn't understand why. It seems that the staff at the head office are still not very good. But even so, he will not give up because of this. On the contrary, if oil is really discovered here, then he, Wayne Rooney, will become famous for a while. After all, even the most famous member of the Rockefeller family will Even the most powerful oil company, Standard Oil Company, has accomplished all the things that he has failed to accomplish. Just imagining it is mind-blowing. By then, his weight in Occidental Petroleum Company will skyrocket, and maybe even Because it brings huge benefits to the company, it may also be appreciated by the boss behind the scenes, His Majesty Alfonso XIII.

After resting for more than an hour, everyone started working again. Because he thought of the possibility just now, Wayne was not afraid of hardships and followed the employees to directly supervise all the drilling processes.

He looked at the gravel in his hand. The contact with his hand made him feel very hard, a bit like granite.

"Can it be penetrated? If so, how long will it take?" Wayne asked urgently. This was his concern. He was betting that there was oil behind this rock formation.

"Theoretically it's possible, but it takes a lot of effort. Besides, under the current conditions, it's easy for the drill bit to melt as friction increases. And we don't have many drill bits here now. If the drill bit is used If it hasn't been penetrated yet or if there is no oil after it is penetrated, Wayne, you know the faces of those people at the headquarters, we will definitely be scolded and even punished with bonuses, etc.," Paul said with some worry. After all, this kind of thing has happened a lot, and the most important thing is that they have spent several months here, but they have achieved nothing. The complaints from the headquarters are not unreasonable. After all, the company's property and resources cannot be wasted like this. ….

"I will take care of those things. What I'm asking you now is how much time it will take if we penetrate these places." Wayne said firmly without hesitation. At this time, he couldn't help but retreat. Sticking to the end and burning the boat is the best strategy.

Seeing Wayne Paul like this, of course he knew what to say at this time, so he said truthfully: "According to the current progress, if there are enough drill bits, it should be almost there in one to two weeks. This is the best. As a result, if the estimate is wrong, it might even take a month or more, and we should prevent problems with the drill bit in advance.”

"Okay, you continue to work, I will solve the drill problem." Paul's words made Wayne's heart sink. If the situation happened later, he had already thought of the worst consequences for his association, forget it. , this time it seems that the only way is to smash the pot and continue to the end. Regarding the problem of drill bits and other resources at the headquarters, Wayne didn't dare to go for help again. Where could he find drill bits? This gave Wayne a huge headache.

Time passes day by day, but Wayne's face turns yellow and white day by day, because it has been nearly two weeks since the last time we talked about the drill bit issue, and it still hasn't penetrated the rock layer. Damn it. layer of rock? Now there should be only those drill bits that are pressed on the diamond machine. If those drill bits break again at this time, then this exploration operation will end in failure. Thinking of this, Wayne became even more irritated. The hands in the pockets were even more tightly held. Suddenly, his father's right hand stretched out from his pocket. In the palm of his hand, there was a piece of paper. It should be said to be a business card. This was popular in Spain a few years ago. It is one of His Majesty's inventions. It is said that this is It is a proof of a person's identity and a testimony of whether a company is loud or not.

I saw that it was George David, General Manager of Africa of Standard Oil Company. Seeing it, Wayne's eyes sparkled with hope.

The second update is a bit late, but it will come. The third update will be sent before 12 o'clock.
