The Lords of Hemp – Steemit Blog 21

EXT: IRAQ - DAYTIME
A helicopter flies over a battlefield in the desert.

INT: HELICOPTER
Lord York and a pilot in flight gear.

LORD YORK:
More carnage?

PILOT:
As you can see sir, we’ve encountered the enemy, and we’ve won on all fronts. We will achieve a final decisive victory in the near future.

LORD YORK:
Good to hear. I never doubted the United States military during this entire engagement. A war managed by professionals.

INT:
Military compound with high ranking officials including Lord York.

LORD YORK:
May I have your attention. This meeting in the war zone has been called at the highest of importance.

As we all know, the war will end soon, and the occupation will begin.

It is my job as a civilian leader in the oil industry to insure that the supply of crude oil to the world is not jeopardized.

Starting now, I will begin coordinating with each of you to implement policy for the capture of high value civilian targets like oil refineries, and plan procedures for the turn over of operation to civilian leaders, while maintaining a security force in the area.

I’m sure we all agree that it is in the military’s best interest to place control of these targets into civilian hands, as the operation, and maintenance would become troublesome to the military’s overall objective of securing the country.

And while you all serve your country best on the battlefield; my team will serve the world best on the oil field.

Thank you,
Cyrus Emerson
