"Wal, I am going to send you out for a trip. If you always stay here in Shanghai, you Yangtze River Security will not be able to develop."
Dong Shuheng stopped joking with Hua Er and said to Hua Er seriously.
There was no hint of proof or opinion in his tone.
"Yes! President." Wall had actually had the idea of going out for a while, but he didn't dare to bring it up to Dong Shuheng. After all, he had just become a Chinese national and he was a white man.
Having stayed in China for such a long time, Wall actually understands how Chinese people think.
There is an old saying among Chinese people: "Those who are not of my race must have different minds." This shows that most Chinese people are actually xenophobic.
He knew that Dong Shuheng had given him enough trust, and he had never thought about betrayal, at least not now.
Despite this, he is still cautious, for fear of being suspected by those around him.
Around him were not only Zhang Guangshun, but also the Supervisory Committee, and probably people from the Operations Bureau, and the officers at the grassroots level were also from military academies.
So Hua Er knew very well that he had to hug Dong Shuheng's thigh tightly.
Even when he found out that Dong Shuheng didn't seem happy about his pursuit of Goddess Mei, he wisely backed down.
Now he has found a Chinese woman in Shanghai, and that woman is pregnant with his child.
Wall couldn't say that he liked that woman very much, but he just felt that if he wanted to take root in China, he must marry a Chinese woman so that he could integrate better here.
"Wal, you have been a mercenary outside before. Where do you think there is more room for mercenaries to perform?"
"President, you have asked the right person this question. Currently, the majority of international mercenaries are Swiss and Prussians. They almost occupy the European market."
"We will definitely not be able to compete with them when we go to Europe. But we can go to Central and South America. They are small countries with frequent wars and conflicts, and the scales are not too large. There is just room for mercenaries to play."
"You and I came together. Wall, I was right about you. Do you want to turn Yangtze Security into a global mercenary organization?"
"Of course, President!" Wall was very excited. What man doesn't have great ambitions?
Most of all, this security company actually belongs to Huai Haijun. But Wall is at least the nominal owner and the actual commander.
If Yangtze Security can be turned into an international mercenary company, then Tawal will definitely be able to leave his name in history, and he will also gain a corresponding status.
In the West, the status of a large mercenary leader is no lower than that of the king of a small country.
"Then what are you going to do?" Dong Shuheng asked.
Wall knew that the president was testing himself, so he thought for a while before replying: "President, first we have to move the company's headquarters to America."
"I think I can use my identity to register a security company in Los Angeles. Now Minister Mai Lian has a good relationship with me, and I think he can talk to me. I have also made many friends in Shanghai over the past year. There are many of them.
They are all well-known figures on the West Coast."
"I think through them, it should be no problem to place the Yangtze Security Headquarters in Los Angeles."
"This way we can echo each other with the West Coast companies in San Francisco to the north, and we won't arouse others' vigilance by gathering together. After all, most of the people in our security company are Chinese."
"Then I'm also going to recruit some western white people and Indian wanderers there to make our mercenary component look more reasonable."
"Then we can take over missions in Central and South America. Before that, we have to find someone to fight with and establish our reputation."
…
Wall said it in detail. His mercenary experience made him very clear about how an international mercenary army should rise.
Dong Shuheng listened very carefully, and the ideas described by Wall basically coincided with his thoughts.
And the most commendable thing is that Wall did not avoid some sensitive points, such as recruiting some whites and Indians.
After all, a mercenary army composed purely of Chinese can easily arouse people's suspicion.
"Congratulations, Hua Er, you will be the leader of a world-famous mercenary organization." Dong Shuheng said with a smile.
He is not talking big words. With the support of Huai Haijun, it is only a matter of time before Yangtze Security becomes a world-famous international mercenary organization.
And this time won't be very long.
The Huaihai Navy's huge manpower and financial resources will greatly shorten the growth time of Yangtze River Security.
"Guangshun, you also have to go out with Hua Er, including all the senior executives of the company."
"Yes, President." Zhang Guangshun has been listening quietly. He had already guessed that Dong Shuheng would arrange this, so he acted calmly.
He is already in his thirties and has been working in Yangtze Security for more than a year. His income is higher than that of his colleagues in the army, and his wife and children are living a good life.
At the beginning of the year, his wife helped him take in a concubine, and now she is pregnant.
So now he has no objection at all to going abroad.
They are now mercenaries, and the disciplinary requirements are not that strict, so if there is a need abroad, there are naturally many ways to solve it.
As long as his wife and children live well in China, he has nothing to worry about. Besides, it's not like he won't come back. In a year or two, he will probably be rotated back even if he doesn't want to come back.
"Of course, although your headquarters has been moved to the Americas, there will still be branches of Yangtze Security in China. The business of the domestic branches will mainly develop in Zhejiang and Fujian in the future. The large merchants there will be the main service targets of Yangtze Security in the future.
." Dong Shuheng warned again.
"Yes, President." Zhang Guangshun agreed. He would usually handle issues in this area, and Wall would not ask.
This time you go to America, I will help you equip an armed merchant fleet.
From now on, you will mainly operate on the west coast of America. It will be very inconvenient if you don't have your own armed merchant ships.
This time I will transfer three steam hybrid merchant ships to you, equipped with defensive artillery.
This time Dong Shuheng obtained ten transport ships from Britain and France. The ships on hand suddenly became less tense, otherwise he would not have been able to free up three ships for Wall and his companions.
"That's great, President." Wall said excitedly.
With its own armed merchant ships, the Yangtze River Security team will have its own delivery capabilities.
Concealment and flexibility will be greatly improved. Moreover, the navies of those countries in South America are generally not strong.
Wall even thought that he could play a guest role as a pirate when he had nothing to do.
You must know that pirates in the Caribbean often attacked cities on land in the past.
Now those countries in Central and South America that had just escaped Spanish rule were like weak chickens in Wall's eyes.
Others don't know it, but Wall was a pirate in the Caribbean. But at that time, Wall was still a teenager.
After returning from the Caribbean, he entered the military academy, then crossed the West alone and took a boat from San Francisco to China to pan for gold.
Here he met his boss Dong Shuheng. It was this man who called himself president who made him realize his own value and move towards his dream step by step.
He was prepared to spend his whole life following this leader who was younger than himself.
Dong Shuheng seemed to understand Hua Er's thoughts.
"After arriving in America, I will give you a lot of freedom. You don't need to be bound by military discipline. Do you understand what I say?" Dong Shuheng looked at the two of them with burning eyes and said.
Zhang Guangshun was still so calm and calm. But Hua Er's eyes seemed to reveal a wildness like a wolf.
It seemed that the devil trapped in his heart was about to break through the shackles and be released. At the critical moment, he was forced back again.
Just like a hound that forcibly puts away its claws in front of its master.
"Wal, if you move the security company there, how will you concentrate your people? How much armed force will the city allow you to bring?"
"Yes, President, there is no order at all in the western United States. Each city is more like a small city-state, and the U.S. government only has a few military fortresses."
"For your own safety, it is impossible to allow a large number of armed men to enter the city, but no one cares about the world outside the city. In the wilds of the western United States, everything is done with fists. It is a place outside the law.
."
"I once traveled alone through the Midwest of the United States. To be able to stand before you alive now is because I have been favored by God. In the American West, traveling alone in the wilderness is definitely an adventurous and exciting act."
"Everyone you meet there has the potential to become a robber."
"So I will divide the team into pieces and scatter them around San Francisco. We can also set up some farms like the Western Company for cover. When necessary, we can disperse into Los Angeles to board the ship."
"Okay, Wall, I didn't expect you to have so much experience. In this case, I will be photographing some immigrants and professionals to help you take care of the farm. This will be more secure."
After hearing what Hua Er said, Dong Shuheng realized that there were loopholes in his plan and quickly filled them.
The farm is a powerful tool for Huaihai Navy to expand overseas. How can we forget it?
Now in San Francisco, under the operation of Bai Qiwen and others, more than a dozen farms have been established, housing tens of thousands of Chinese.
This officially made the Chinese a local political force that cannot be ignored. This also greatly improved the situation of Chinese workers.
Many Chinese workers have been redeemed and can freely choose where to work.
Many people chose to settle down and start a business locally. Of course, most people went to work in the mines and farms established by the West Coast Company.
Not because of the treatment here, but because in the West Coast company, they can get Chinese wives.
Many of the Huaihai people who immigrated to the western United States were based on farm families, naturally consisting of both men and women.
Dong Shuheng knew that just sending a bunch of old men to the United States would not make them settle down.
In order for them to settle down and have a stable home, they must have women.
Although there are white women here, it is difficult for Chinese people to marry, and those white people still have discrimination against Chinese people in their hearts.
Besides, if a child born to a foreign wife grows up in a foreign environment, can he still be considered Chinese when he grows up?
Therefore, Dong Shuheng told him to pay attention to the ratio of men to women when he immigrated.
Immigration is a technical job that involves economics, sociology and many other disciplines. It is not just as simple as moving people there.
With Wall's proposal, Dong Shuheng discovered that he could develop an immigration settlement in the western United States, relying on Wall's security company.
This can also build a stable rear for the security company.
In this way, Huaihai Navy has two strongholds in the south and north of California, and these two are the two most important cities in California.
Once the time is right, Dong Shuheng's people can raid and control these two cities, thus controlling most of California.
California is a place bordered by Mexico to the south and separated from the central United States by the Rocky Mountains to the east. It is a place where a country can be founded.
Moreover, it has only been three or four years since the Mexicans here were assigned to the United States, and the people here probably still regard themselves as Californians.
So when the Chinese make up the majority here, why can't it become the territory of the Chinese?
The main power of the United States is now in the area east of the Mississippi River, separated from California by the vast central area. At this time, Kansas was still an Indian nomadic land.
The entire central United States seems to be hollow and deserted.
