Two months later, Hans returned from Europe and learned that the operation was successful and that he was now recuperating in a manor on the Italian coast. Tang Cheng finally felt relieved. "The American way simply doesn't work, so I
This time we are looking for Italians." Hans was in a very good mood. He was indeed looking for Italians, but all the vehicles and armored vehicles he acquired were of German style. "Before Germany was defeated, Italy had purchased goods from Germany.
Equipment for an armored division was ordered, but the war ended too quickly. They only received transport vehicles and armored vehicles. The most important thing, tanks, was not delivered by Germany."
"The transport vehicles and armored vehicles received by the Italians were all sitting in warehouses gathering dust. When I found them, the Italians directly gave me a low price. When I took a look, this price was more expensive than the second-hand equipment I purchased from the US military.
If you want it cheap, just eat it all. The only thing is that the Ren'anqiang Oilfield is still in the hands of the British. So many transport vehicles and armored vehicles consume too much fuel!" Hans went to Europe for a tour, but
I forgot that they still have shares in United Petroleum, and United Petroleum has already drilled oil wells in Egypt.
"Oil is not a problem, and the Ren'anqiang Oilfield must still be managed by the British. We don't have the relevant technical personnel." Hearing this, Tang Cheng just chuckled. "While you are going to Europe, I will go
We visited the Ren'anqiang Oilfield and reached an agreement with the British. Thirty percent of the oil produced by Ren'anqiang must be sold to us at a low price. We also enjoy the right to share dividends on the remaining part. The 30% of the oil supply,
You can use our dividends to pay for it.”
"In other words, 30% of the oil from Ren'anqiang Oilfield will be provided to us free of charge." Tangcheng's explanation made Hans relieved. As long as there is sufficient oil supply, the oil he got back from Italy this time will
The vehicles were all running. Before Hans could laugh for a moment, he heard Tang Cheng continue, "I'm afraid you won't be able to rest for a few days this time! Those retired German soldiers you got later are very good.
Yes, I plan to form a few more German infantry regiments. Just as you have brought back so many vehicles from Italy, they can be upgraded into motorized infantry regiments."
"I plan to place half of these mobile forces in the south of Bangkok and the other in the north of Bangkok. Counting the German infantry regiment previously stationed on the outskirts of Bangkok, the Thai royal family will be unable to fly!" The biggest trouble in controlling Thailand is
, are the Thai royal family who still live in the Royal Palace in Bangkok, and in addition are the former high-level officials of the Thai government. These people now live in Bangkok, as long as they firmly control
When you live in Bangkok and Tangcheng, you don't have to worry about what trouble those people will cause.
Tangcheng has made his purpose very clear, but Hans seems to have not figured it out yet, "There is no problem in continuing to recruit retired German soldiers, but what about the mercenaries we recruit from Europe? I went to Europe this time, but I have already asked
My people have begun to operate. The Soviets have released many captured German soldiers. These people have no other skills except fighting. In addition, the Allied forces are secretly causing trouble. Now Germany seems to be calm, but in fact it has begun.
It’s chaos.”
Of course, Tang Cheng knew that Germany would be in chaos after the war, and that the United States and the Soviet Union would forcibly divide Germany into two. But these things have not happened yet, and even if he informed Hans, the other party might not do it.
Believe it. "Don't worry about the mercenaries. I plan to place them in the central part of Thailand to suppress the local forces that are secretly against us. Compared with the Burmese, the Thais are more aggressive and fierce, but the internal fighting among the Thais
It’s also very serious.”
"I plan to stabilize the area south of Bangkok first. After this area is stabilized, I will use mercenary forces to gradually squeeze the space for activities of the opposition forces. At that time, I will arrange for the Burmese militia forces in northern Thailand to take advantage of the situation and move south. I can then let
Thailand will settle down once and for all." Tang Cheng said it easily at the moment, but Hans smelled a hint of murderous intent from Tang Cheng's expression. The situation in Thailand is very different from that in Myanmar. If he wants to completely settle down Thailand, some
The use of special means is naturally unavoidable.
"Also, the Zionist Organization mentioned to me before that they wanted to increase the quota for rice imports from Thailand. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, there is a lot to be done about this matter!
I plan to set up an import and export company. All import and export business to Thailand must be completed by this import and export company. In other words, we set up a trade zone here, and use the name of the import and export company to eat all the imports from other places.
Thai goods are then sold to Thais at a markup.”
"If someone wants to import goods from Thailand, it is also done by an import and export company. The customer only needs to place an order and indicate the name and quantity of the goods. The delivery party can only be an import and export company. I don't want to make money.
This is the price increase, and
It is to facilitate the management of Thai people. As long as the import and export company takes over all goods entering and leaving Thailand, whoever opposes us, I will tell them that they have no business. Moreover, this has another advantage, that is, foreign businessmen cannot freely enter and leave Thailand.
, and also avoid the infiltration of secret agents and spies.”
"Europe's economic environment is mostly run by plutocratic families like monopolies, while Americans operate monopoly industries in the form of consortiums. Once they are allowed to enter Thailand or Myanmar, a new industry monopoly may be formed, and the only one who will suffer in the end is
As an import and export company, we can avoid this phenomenon, and we can also make small-scale adjustments in the internal industry based on the export situation, which is better than a swarm of internal disorderly competition."
After Tang Cheng explained for a long time, Hans finally understood what the import and export company Tang Cheng was talking about was for. After thinking about it carefully, Hans felt that Tang Cheng was right. There was this import and export company.
, they can indeed save a lot of trouble. But things in this world have pros and cons, and the same is true for this import and export company. "I'm afraid those Europeans won't be happy! Doing business is about you and me, our cigarettes and beer
, has already been sold to Europe and the Mediterranean. If we do not allow their merchants to enter our territory, I am worried that they will also restrict us."
Hans's worry was reasonable, but he had forgotten that the British royal family and the aristocratic alliance were the underwriters of Myanmar's cigarettes and beer. And the Myanmar timber business was also fully contracted by those robe buddies in Chongqing. In other words,
Business in Myanmar does not require businessmen from other countries to come to place orders. However, the situation in Thailand has not really stabilized yet. Tangcheng has used import and export companies to replace the middlemen who dispersed purchases and sales. On the contrary, it is more convenient for businessmen who come to negotiate. As long as the other party is not stupid,
You can understand the benefits.
Tang Cheng did what he said and contacted the person in charge of the Zionist Organization's terminal in Thailand early the next morning, and set aside a large piece of land not far from the terminal to prepare for the construction of a trade zone. The Zionist Organization
They just want to buy grain from Thailand and have no objections to the establishment of the trade zone. They are here every day and know the current situation in Thailand better than those businessmen from Europe.
If there is a commercial organization that can transport goods from Thailand according to their requirements, the nearest terminal
The handover was carried out here, and it was them who saved the trouble. At least they did not have to negotiate with those difficult Thai locals, and they could order the goods they wanted. The cooperation of the Jews made Tangcheng even more convinced of the hugeness of the import and export company.
It worked, but something that gave him a headache soon appeared, and more than a dozen South Asian Chinese businessmen came directly to his door.
The previous performance of these Chinese businessmen did not satisfy Tangcheng. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these South Asian Chinese businessmen just wanted to bet on both sides, so they were just speculators. When they were still in Chongqing, Tangcheng was not interested in such speculators.
He didn't have a good impression. There were other things to deal with in Tangcheng at that time, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these South Asian Chinese businessmen who were betting on both sides. He didn't expect that they would actually come to him. There were at least a hundred people in the entire South Asian Chinese business circle.
Chinese families, including only three Indonesian Chinese businessmen, have completely boarded the Tangcheng boat.
In return, when Tangcheng was still in Japan, it gave these three Indonesian Chinese businessmen the convenience of freely entering and leaving Thailand to do business. Now the other South Asian Chinese businessmen who came to visit were obviously jealous of the benefits obtained by these three Indonesian Chinese businessmen.
That's why Tangcheng looked down upon these South Asian Chinese businessmen even more. Tangcheng did not choose to meet with them, but left the matter to Hans. He took some guards and went directly to the German army stationed on the outskirts of Bangkok.
The American garrison barracks.
Tangcheng deployed such a German garrison on the outskirts of Bangkok to guard against the Thai royal family who still lived in the Royal Palace in Bangkok. Tangcheng knew that the reason why the Thai royal family chose to compromise was to stay dormant temporarily. Once they found
If Tangcheng discovers flaws or gets support from Western countries, these unwilling guys will definitely make trouble again. But Tangcheng will not give them repeated opportunities. As long as they find that the Thai royal family is dishonest, this team stationed in Bangkok will
The German garrison in the suburbs will immediately launch an attack on Bangkok.
"Captain Heinz, if you hold on for a while, we have already ordered a batch of equipment from Europe. In at most one month, this batch of heavy equipment will be allocated to you first. By then, your mobility will definitely be greatly improved.
"Increase." The middle-aged man who was called Captain Heinz in Tangcheng was previously an infantry major in the German Wehrmacht. He was imprisoned for offending the Gestapo. It was precisely because of his experience that
The Allies released him from prison but did not imprison him and the surrendered German officers and soldiers.
