Chapter 63 Mercenaries (first update, please collect)
In fact, there are ready-made guns.
Maybe not now, but what about when the war is over?
Whether it is post-war Europe or Asia, they are all shrouded in poverty and hunger. Not to mention those soldiers who have no special skills except fighting, even scientists are hungry.
As long as you have money, you can pull out a mercenary army at any time in Eurasia. This mercenary army does not need many people. As long as it has a few thousand people, it is enough to maintain the company in North Borneo. 's rule.
"Step by step, first build a mercenary army, and then build your own armed forces."
On the way home, Li Yi'an once again made plans for North Borneo in his mind.
What is the most important thing about a colony?
Of course!
Just like New York, once upon a time, the Dutch exchanged a few pieces of glass balls for this place from the Indians, but with the influx of a large number of immigrants, , and eventually the Indians were driven to reservations.
And what about white people? Then become the owner of this land.
So, the future of North Borneo lies in immigration!
After understanding the key, all that is left is to prepare for future immigration.
"We can take advantage of the supply of national defense supplies to establish some connections with the country, and wait until the war is over to introduce immigrants from the country..."
Nodding, Li Yian thought about the transportation of immigrants again.
"If you want to send immigrants to North Borneo, you have to have a ship. Ships... landing ships are the best. Even if there is no dock, they can pick up people and transport them there. Well, we need to strengthen our contact with the Marine Corps. . ”
The more he calculated, the more Li Yian realized the importance of intelligence. He needed intelligence from all aspects, whether it was business or the construction of North Borneo, it was inseparable from all aspects of intelligence.
"Investigating the company...let's make it a start."
Nodding, Li Yian, who doesn't have many choices at the moment, can only bet on this for the time being.
The car was driving along the smooth asphalt road. Sitting in the "Mercedes-Benz" driven by his driver, Li Yian was thinking about going home and taking a hot bath first. The only thing Sadly, there was no entertainment.
How about going to the bar to have fun?
After leaning back and lighting a cigarette, while Li Yian was thinking about whether to go to a nightclub, the car stopped on the side of the road, and Ding En, who was sitting in the passenger seat, After getting in the car, I bought a copy of the Evening News.
After unfolding the newspaper, a piece of news in the latest news column caught Li Yian's eyes. The news was published on the front page of the Evening Standard. Looking at the news in the newspaper, Li Yian then read it several times in a row. Then he cast his eyes out the car window. For passers-by outside the car window, this news report would only make them complain a few words. After all, this victory does not belong to them, and then they will This news was forgotten, after all, Italy had announced its unconditional surrender. Even if some changes occur, it will not affect the overall situation.
While he was looking out the car window, an idea came to his mind.
His fingers tapped lightly on the news headlines on the newspaper:
Mussolini was rescued by German paratroopers!
Although this incident happened in distant Italy, the seemingly simple news reminded Li Yian of the German airborne troops who presided over the operation. Aren't they the best source of mercenaries? At the same time, another group of people came to mind - German spies, or German intelligence officers.
"It is already September 1943. Next year, when the Normandy landings next year and Germany shows its defeat, there will definitely be some German intelligence personnel who want to take refuge in other countries. Maybe, You can use their power to enrich the company’s intelligence agency.”
Sometimes, no one knows what the consequences will be when a sudden thought comes, but what is certain is that compared to other countries. The former intelligence officers, those Nazi intelligence officers who were like lost dogs after World War II, would definitely not act as spies for other countries. After all, their country had perished, and their country... was even still hunting them.
"Well, these Sandezi's special forces are a good choice!"
It is indeed a good choice. Those people are elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. As mercenaries, those people not only have combat effectiveness powerful. And it was very cheap. After all, everything in post-war Europe was cheap, including people.
Smiling, Li Yian folded the newspaper in his hand and looked at the street scene in New York outside the car window with a confident smile on his face. This is confidence in the future!
The postwar world...there are so many opportunities!
As long as you seize the opportunity, let alone becoming a local emperor in Southeast Asia, it is not impossible to advance to the next level!
In the following time, everything progressed steadily. In early October, KTJ Chemical Industry delivered the first batch of "Agent Orange" to the military. Although the quantity was only 50 tons, this was just the first batch of tests. .
In the test of military equipment, the US military fully demonstrated what it means to be wealthy. Just like in order to obtain test data for new incendiary bombs, it deliberately built a German city with a masonry structure and a wooden structure in the west. The structure of a Japanese city, and in order to be as realistic as possible, when building a Japanese city, not only Japanese architects were hired, but also the same kind of raw materials were used as much as possible. Because there was no Japanese pine, the United States even specially passed the Lend-Lease Act, from The Soviet Union obtained a shipload of similar pine wood, along with tatami mats. They also searched warehouses across the country and even the homes of Japanese immigrants to find Japanese tatami mats. They went through a lot of effort. Finally, a Japanese-style town was built in the west. In the subsequent period, many bombing tests were conducted using new incendiary bombs. After confirming that the new incendiary bombs were both effective on German-style buildings and more effective on Japanese-style buildings, Put it into practice.
The same is true now for "Agent Orange". As soon as the first batch of "Agent Orange" was delivered, it was transported to Panama by the US military. There are large areas of tropical rainforest in the canal zone for testing to obtain the corresponding Data proves its effectiveness.
Unlike the more than a year-long incendiary bomb test, KTJ Chemical Industry received as many as 5,000 tons of "Agent Orange" from the Pentagon only half a month after the first batch of "Agent Orange" was delivered of orders.
Obviously, the military has been conquered by the excellent effect of "Agent Orange". After all, that thing can indeed turn the tropical rainforest into a barren wasteland. For the Allied forces fighting in the Pacific tropics, this thing was even more effective than aircraft and artillery!
