Chapter 1040: Chapter 779: South American Conflict_2

Speaking of which, Arthur was also connected to this large-scale conflict. Previously, because Arthur and the United Kingdom agreed to control the world's petroleum prices, international oil prices generally rose, and major oil companies made a fortune.

For ExxonMobil to vie for oil drilling rights in the Northern Chaco region, especially while the Powers were already involved, was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
