American TV series

Chapter 299 (please vote)

(Brother Meng, the number is set at more than 1,700. If each person gives one vote, it won’t be enough to only get 250 votes after 4 days. This is too little. It’s embarrassing to tell anyone...)

Sean's plan really left the group of people in Fanni speechless.

Just a threat, a threat from Chi Guoguo.

I originally thought of using Indonesia as a shield, but now it seems that it is useless.

This guy doesn't take Indonesians seriously at all.

So, what to do now?

Here in Bangni, the reason why King Jiji is so resistant to this maritime defense agreement is partly because the country in Bangni is actually very stable.

In terms of rights, King Jiji has his say, which is completely different from the situation in Sri Lanka.

The reason why the Sri Lankan President agreed so readily was because there was the LTTE in the north, there was Asan in the west to sow discord, and there were opposition parties in China waiting for opportunities. The Sri Lankan President very much needed Sean, an outside force, to consolidate his power and status.

And King Jiji doesn’t need any of this.

He also didn't want to invite such a great god. As we all know, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away.

We have only been officially independent for a few years, and we have just driven out the British. We really don’t want another American to come here.

The problem now is that it's a little difficult to say no to Sean.

Everything has two sides. Some matters cannot be dealt with by the state and must be dealt with privately.

If the United States wants to forcefully open a military base here, there is still a way to appeal to the international community. Many anti-American forces will support it.

But now this is a private company, and it’s hard for other countries to get involved.

Of course, if Sean is not an American or an American company, it is still okay to intervene.

But what Sean is saying is that if other countries intervene, the United States will definitely give Sean a platform.

Firstly, we must maintain a consistent tough attitude, and secondly, Rockefeller is one of the masters of the United States and is being targeted for no reason. That will definitely not work.

"It seems you don't have any opinions, so it's settled!" Seeing that a group of people were silent, Sean smiled and made the decision for everyone.

"Isn't this good? For the people of Bangni, this is really too much." King Jiji said quickly.

"Don't worry, it won't be so rough. In order to win the defense orders from Hongni, our umbrella company will show off our strength in front of customers, conduct a naval military exercise, and show our sincerity to the employer!" Sean reached out and hit him.

Snap your fingers, to put it another way, he is good at this!

"Uh..." King Jiji really had nothing to say at this time.

In the name of giving potential employers a whole life, what can they do!

I didn’t burn your muddy oil.

"I said, King Jiji, instead of talking so much with me here, you should think about how to get back the Limbang area!" Sean's face gradually turned cold, "There is nothing that cannot be solved with money. If there is

, then you just don’t spend enough!”

"Twelve billion in cash, if you can take it out, I will help you deal with Lin Meng!"

Hearing this, King Jiji's face instantly fell. 12 billion, why the hell don't you go and grab it!

This is how a meeting ended.

Sean was very happy, but Fan Ni was a little awkward.

However, this is not what Sean needs to consider.

Without wasting any more time in Bangni, Sean got on the battleship that afternoon and continued towards Xingcheng.

On the other side, two other warships undergoing modification and maintenance were also launched.

This is not because the workers in the United States have finally learned 996, but because the shipyard has insufficient business volume. The three warships started repairs almost at the same time. The reason why the Kunz-class guided missile destroyer was launched in advance is because this warship is already in service.

middle.

In recent years, the domestic shipbuilding industry in the United States has indeed encountered great difficulties.

On the one hand, due to increasingly frequent international exchanges, the international shipbuilding and shipping industries are generally showing an upward trend.

On the one hand, the shipbuilding industries in Benzi and Bangzi countries are developing rapidly.

Europe also maintains strong competitiveness, while the United States developed its shipbuilding industry on a large scale during World War II, especially warships.

However, after the war, a large number of warships were idle and were forced to be converted into merchant ships.

While the military's orders have dropped several times, the overall operating rate of the U.S. shipbuilding industry is seriously insufficient. Workers' wages, space, logistics, etc. are expensive, and workers go on strike from time to time in order to raise wages...

At the same time, most of the orders in the international market are mainly merchant ships. The technology of Benzi and Bangzi is fully capable of undertaking such commercial orders, coupled with its strong price advantage and good service attitude.

This has led to a further deterioration in the situation of the shipbuilding industry in the United States itself.

However, this has nothing to do with Sean, but he is happy to see the results.

He also has a shipyard project with Bahrain. Speaking of which, Sean had almost forgotten about it.

Thinking of this, Sean quickly asked Lorraine to remember it, and by the way, he notified Norris and asked him to talk to Todd Shipyard about purchasing second-hand equipment.

Todd Shipyard was once one of the factories that built Keeling-class guided missile destroyers. Its technology and equipment are very advanced, even today, 40 years later.

He still remembered that there was a strike at Todd Shipyard a year ago, and it should have been a mess.

After the matter was explained, Sean sighed heavily again.

It’s hard to be a rich man!

There are so many things!

…

Regarding Sean's visit again with a battleship, Xingcheng was completely relieved.

Hong Kong Island has no move and is reluctant to compromise. What else can Xingcheng do?

It is already very difficult for a country dominated by Chinese to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia.

Both the Malays and Indonesians around them are actually hostile to the Chinese, and Xingcheng occupies such a good geographical location.

It is not an exaggeration to say that we must survive in the cracks.

Don't expect any help from Rabbit!

Rabbit itself has been wary of countries such as Europe, the United States and even the Soviet Union, and has been taking various blockade measures against them.

Rabbit can withstand it, but for Xingcheng, they can't bear the damage from just an AOE sweep.

Besides, they are all Chinese-dominated national systems. If they get closer, they will be substantially affected. Who will listen to them then?

Therefore, in order to survive, Xingcheng must move closer to the west, hug the lap of the Americans, and flatter the British.

In this situation, how can you challenge Sean!?

Faced with this situation, Xingcheng simply held another welcome ceremony and welcomed Sean's warship to his naval base in a generous manner.

A group of leaders once again held a grand welcome ceremony. Looking at the behemoth, it would be false to say that they were not envious!

Meet, shake hands, greet, take photos...

At the end of the welcome ceremony, to Xingcheng's expectation, Sean didn't even mention the maritime defense order.

What Sean considers is that the cake must be eaten one bite at a time, so as not to cause an all-out confrontation between Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries, which would outweigh the gains and losses.

After the victory of Gangni, it would be difficult for Xingcheng to oppose it.

Therefore, at the evening tea party, Sean changed the topic and said: "I saw that our Xingcheng side is expanding the port on a large scale and is preparing to vigorously develop the container transshipment business."

Li Zhilong frowned slightly. As Li Gyao's son, he is now the Minister of Trade and Industry in Xingcheng.

He is responsible for receiving Sean, and he happens to be responsible for this business as well.

The rapid development of the container business is inevitable.

For most businesses engaged in export trade, it is simply impossible for them to hire a ship to transport the goods. It is very likely that the freight is higher than the value of the order itself.

Therefore, in the past, ocean trade was just a matter of ship owners purchasing goods and reselling them.

Nowadays, there are more and more small manufacturers participating in international trade. They cannot afford to hire a ship, and it is more likely that they cannot even load a container.

At this time, merchants engaged in port trade came into being. For example, A, he specializes in shipping routes to the west coast of the United States. Then, merchants who need to send goods there will send things to A.

So, can the container be sent directly to the West Coast at this time?

Still can’t!

A container ship carries an extremely large quantity each time. If the quantity is not collected, it will never make a trip, and the waiting time for the goods will be too long.

Therefore, short-distance cargo ships came into being. They deliver containers from surrounding cities to Hong Kong Island. In large port cities like Xingcheng, after sorting here, they can quickly collect containers to the west coast, and then transship them again.

And there are many cities on the West Coast that still need to continue sorting and transshipping.

This is the meaning of the existence of large container ports. It is similar to express delivery, the difference is the size of the goods.

"Yes, Mr. Sean also knows that the Strait of Malacca is a key channel connecting Southeast Asia and the Western world, and the Lion City has been a natural port city since ancient times. Now that communication is becoming more frequent around the world, our development strategy for Xingcheng

In this process, port transshipment is a very important part.”

"We will strive to build a new, global port city and make our own contribution to the world's maritime trade."

Sean raised his hands and applauded with a smile, "I'm glad that we can agree on the development prospects of ocean trade. I myself also see the container transshipment trade, so I hope to invest in Xingcheng's port to help you earlier."

, complete the port construction faster.”

Li Zhilong did not refuse directly, but said with a smile: "I am glad that Mr. Sean can lend a helping hand. The construction of an international port cannot be completed by one person or organization alone. We need the help of many people."

"However, the matter is very important and we need further consultations. I hope Mr. Sean can understand."

"Of course." Sean smiled and held out two fingers, "I'll pay 300 million U.S. dollars, and I want 30% of the shares."

"This is impossible!" Li Zhilong immediately quit.

Li Zhilong's idea was to pay a small share of the shares in exchange for Sean's cooperation to ensure the safety of the route and at the same time facilitate the opening up of routes and customs in the United States and the Caribbean.

However, this is by no means a reason to sell 30% of the shares.

This is not a question of money or not.

In order to develop a large port city, in addition to its geographical location, it also needs advantages in many aspects.

Transshipment speed, price, route development, receiving party inspection intensity, customs clearance speed, safety, etc.

It’s not just that you can invest in shares if you have money. There are many rich people, including oil tycoons!

But they can't handle the customs of each country.

Of course, money is not the most important thing, but it can’t be so little!

100 million for 30% of the shares, is this robbery?

Previously, Sean’s purchase of a transshipment terminal in Kwai Tsing, Hong Kong Island cost 100 million!

Now what Sean wants is 30% of the entire Xingcheng Port business, and of course they won't do it.

"Don't say that." Sean said with a smile: "As we all know, the terrain near the Strait of Malacca is extremely complicated, and it has been the most frequent place for pirates since ancient times."

"Of course, a certain degree of security can still be maintained, but that is because the port transshipment business in Xingcheng has not developed and grown."

"As the business expands, there will inevitably be some people who turn into pirates and attack the cargo ships passing by."

"When they take up arms, they are pirates. When they put down their arms, they are bastards. How to catch them and what to do?"

"Large cargo ships from some big countries are fine, but what about some small countries or small companies?"

"They don't have that strong ability to protect themselves, so they are bound to be affected."

"The Umbrella Company can easily solve these troubles and ensure that the route is smooth. We will send anyone who has the idea of ​​​​this route to meet their God!"

Sean still maintained a smiling expression on his face.

But Li Zhilong only has MMP left in his heart!

Is this pirate you are talking about yourself?

"We in Xingcheng have our own fleet and have been working on expanding our maritime power. We still have the ability to fight pirates." Li Zhilong said rather forcefully.

"No, no, no, you are too optimistic." Sean sneered and shook his head: "How far is your control range?"

"5 nautical miles or 10 nautical miles, or 30 nautical miles!"

"What happens outside of this range? Are you sure you are still able to ensure the safety of ships coming and going?"

"Even if you can, how much will it cost?"

"The Strait of Malacca is the most convenient communication channel, but it is not the only one. The Strait of Sunda is also a good channel, although it is only a little further."

Sean leaned over and stared at Li Zhilong, and a pressure directly enveloped Li Zhilong's body, "What do you think?"

"You, you are robbing, threatening, and violating international agreements." Li Zhilong's head was covered with beads of sweat. His voice was loud, but there was no power in his words. Instead, he seemed to be bluffing.

.

It was a small country that only achieved independence in 1965. If it weren’t for some special reasons, it would have been divided up by others long ago!

Xingcheng's ability to achieve independence, maintain its autonomy, and achieve a certain international status is largely due to Rabbit's credit!

There are many countries bigger than Xingcheng. Why can Xingcheng occupy the key geographical location of the Strait of Malacca?

Larger countries have been infiltrated and divided by Europe and the United States and have been engaged in civil war for a whole day. How can this small country remain prosperous and stable?

Have Americans become kinder?

Has John Bull stopped stirring up shit?

neither!

Xingcheng served largely as a showcase to the north to show how wealthy the Chinese would become under capitalism.

Of course, WW can do this job, but even the United States cannot guarantee that WW can keep running. Who knows when it will be taken down by force.

After all, when the north was so backward 30 years ago, the 18-nation coalition pushed the battle line to 38°.

But because Xingcheng is too far away and is a decidedly independent country, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

In addition to being a display board, it also serves as a signboard.

The Chinese have a very strong national concept. Because history has never ended, the idea of ​​unification has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese. The extraordinary national concept gives the people here extremely strong cohesion and ability to withstand pressure.

Don't look at everyone shouting about hating the country, if they really want military reunification, just look at whether everyone donates or not!

Don't watch dramas all day long and play the two-spined ape. If you really want to go on a cross-ocean war, just look at whether you are enthusiastic about joining the army or not!

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was such a chaotic situation, with warlords fighting each other. The Western powers supported different warlords and tried their best to sow discord. Any country would definitely be divided.

But what happens in the end is not yet the unification. It can be said that it depends on the prophecy later on. This is simply impossible to happen in the Western world.

The history of the Western world has determined that their national concepts are weak. Not only do they not have the idea of ​​​​unification, but they also like to pursue division and independence.

Once a region calls for independence, it will be supported by the entire Western world...

This is simply unimaginable in the north.

It’s not that the middle and high-level leaders of the white world cannot see the crux of the problem. The concepts of resistance, democracy, and freedom that have been left over for thousands of years have been deeply ingrained in the DNA and cannot be changed at all.

Therefore, the Western world has been trying to create divisions in the north, but has been unable to achieve it.

The secession of a remote region may seem to have little economic impact, it may reduce burdens, and it may not be of any benefit to the Western world, but the psychological and political consequences are huge and far-reaching.

The only result was the prosperity of the city.

Of course, in addition to targeting the north, it is also for its own sake.

Just look at the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal. You can see the difference between the control of this geographical opening by Egypt and Panama.

If this important shipping port is in the hands of Indonesia or Malay, then given the characteristics of the two countries, high fees will definitely be charged. Not only is it extremely unsafe, but the income will also be greatly increased because of this income.

But in the hands of Xingcheng, because of the isolation problem of the Chinese, it is impossible to charge fees here, which is very in line with the interests of European and American countries.

Similarly, for rabbits, this important shipping route to Europe cannot be left in the hands of Indonesia or Malay. With the urine of monkeys, if there are no tigers in the mountains, they will stick to your neck at any time to show their existence.

Therefore, Xingcheng existed only in the context of multi-party games.

"It doesn't mean that you can simply occupy the Strait of Malacca. After leaving Malacca, you have to go through the Strait of Great Britain and the Tenth Strait to enter the Indian Ocean."

"Do you think Xingcheng's fleet can control the security here?"

"Even 50 years later, Li Zhilong, this is an impossible task!"

"You want to eat such a big piece of cake alone, but you're not afraid of being stuffed to death!?" Sean reached out and tapped Li Zhilong's chest.

"In addition, I can ensure that the shipping routes and customs in the Caribbean are smooth."

"You should think about it carefully, it's not urgent." After saying that, Sean stood up with a smile and walked out.

Only Li Zhilong with an ugly face was left in the small conference room.

Damn it, you know this guy is up to no good!

I originally thought that no matter how big the appetite was, it would only be enough to provide military expenditures of 100 million US dollars a year. I never expected that this bitch would actually take a fancy to the new port that Xingcheng was preparing to build.

To Xingcheng, this was like a bolt from the blue, and a big pot was brought down for no reason.

Li Zhilong couldn't sit still anymore and quickly stood up and walked out. He must inform his father about this matter immediately and let the old man make the decision.

Having completed the second threat of the three-threat plan, Sean slept refreshed that night.

When we set off early the next morning, the Li family and his son came to see him off, with happy smiles on their faces.

It's like what happened yesterday never happened.

What else could be done?

Why don't you let this greedy guy stay here without a farewell?

Then there's no telling what will happen.

It's better to send the person away quickly.

The two parties smiled and shook hands to say goodbye. Before leaving, Sean gave Li Zhilong a big hug and slapped Li Zhilong on the back.

"Good brother, I'm waiting for your good news!"

After that, he turned around and boarded the ship.

Standing on the side of the ship and waving goodbye.

There was a tacit understanding on both sides.

It was impossible for the Li family and his son to compromise before Sean showed a tough attitude that was bound to win.

Why not struggle if you can, in case this greedy wolf dog is driven out?

What if, right?

What if, what if John Bull couldn't stand Sean's arrogant attitude and felt that Sean was destroying their international status in Southeast Asia.

What if, what if the United States feels that Sean's approach of provoking enemies all over the world will worsen the international environment of the United States and feel pressure?

right!

Even if we have to compromise, we can’t do it so quickly!

The huge battleship in the field of vision was getting smaller and smaller. The Li father and son looked at each other, sighed, turned around and took away the people.

…

The warship cut through the waves and continued to move towards Sri Lanka.

Sean called Bill in the United States.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste!

If you want to take advantage of a country, you must be well prepared and not expose any flaws!

"I asked you to purchase more scrap products from the military. How is this going?"

"We acquired 20 small gunboats. They are not big, with a displacement of about 150 tons, a length of about 20 meters, and a 57 mm caliber artillery. They are currently deployed near the coast of Colombia." Bill answered and then asked with a smile:

"What, do you have any new plans?"

"Well, yes!" Sean thought for a while and said: "Buy five of these small gunboats, and acquire some torpedo boats. The ones with a displacement of about 50 tons will be enough. Modify them. The speed must be fast enough, at least 50 knots.

, please contact Yuri, he has some rapid-fire cannons there, they are old models from World War II, but they are well maintained, and they can be installed on my speedboat."

"Wow, what are you going to do?" Bill knew as soon as he heard that Sean was going to do something, and he immediately became energetic.

"Ahem, it's not what I'm planning to do. I'm a serious businessman, what can I do?" Sean coughed lightly, "I heard, I heard, there is not much peace in Southeast Asia recently, there are always some pirates.

"

Hahahaha, Bill laughed.

Sean mentioned the pirate thing a year ago.

At that time, it was said that the Caribbean was not very safe and there might be pirates, but later Sean got a Keeling-class missile to destroy it.

Many drug criminals in Colombia soon relented, and the Caribbean became safe.

Unexpectedly, suddenly, pirates appeared in Southeast Asia!

Man, this pirate looks like he fell from the sky.

"Torpedo boats are not easy to deal with. We don't have them in the military at all. Well, not at all. Some of them are used as target boats, and their engines are really rotten."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, it's urgent!" Sean urged.

"No matter how anxious you are, I can't give you a few babies out of thin air. Besides, they have to be transported to Southeast Asia, purchased, refurbished, reinstalled with engines and rapid-fire guns, and sent to you. It will take at least 2 months.

!”

Xiao En blinked his eyes, that's right, water from far away can't quench the thirst from near.

"Then, let's get 5 gunboats here first." Sean thought for a while and said, "You go to Thailand first, buy some speedboats and modify them here, and support one first."

"As for the torpedo boats, don't relax, speed up, and by the way, retain the ability to launch torpedoes and mines."

"Okay, I got it!" Bill hung up the phone and immediately started making arrangements.

We have a very good relationship with the military. We have purchased scrap products many times. It is just a phone call away. The people in the U.S. military have a lot of free time on weekdays. They are all very happy to find something to do for them.

After placing an order with the Navy, Bill contacted Cartagena.

Assemble 5 gunboats for an expedition to Southeast Asia.

It stands to reason that this type of gunboat with a displacement of about 200 tons is used for offshore defense, but this does not mean that this type of gunboat cannot travel across the ocean.

This offshore refers to the combat radius. The fuel, daily necessities and weapons stored by the warship itself cannot support long-term operations.

If you have plenty of fuel on board, you can still sail around the world.

…

After hanging up the phone with Bill, Sean immediately called Yuri, considering that there will be a large number of pirates in Southeast Asia in the future.

Therefore, there must be some weapons and ammunition reserves here...

Yuri left Hong Kong Island later than he did, so it was still too late to turn around and prepare!

After finishing this, Sean lay on the bed alone and started thinking about the problem.

The emergence of pirates is due to the advent of the Age of Discovery.

Nowadays, maritime shipping is far ahead of ancient times, so the reappearance of pirates is inevitable!

If there are no pirates on the sea, then why do we need maritime security companies?

Which came first, the criminals or the police?

There must have been criminals first!

If there are no criminals, what would the police do?

In the same way, just because there are pirates on the sea again, the umbrella has gained a lot more business!

This mutually reinforcing causal relationship must be clearly distinguished!

Therefore, the re-emergence of pirates in Southeast Asia is a historical necessity!

So, what about the Caribbean?

What about near the Panama Canal?

What about near the Suez Canal?

Will pirates also appear?

Taking the Caribbean as an example, whether pirates appear depends on the attitude of the US military's naval bases all over the Caribbean...

Those American soldiers are all creatures who rely on their lower bodies to think, so if you control their penises, you will control their bodies...

Sean picked up the phone and dialed.

"Jonas, wake up!"

"Fuck!" Jonas took the phone away from his ear. The sound in Sean's voice made his ears hurt.

"I have something to arrange for you."

"What?" Jonas looked serious.

"Buy a passenger ship with at least 100 rooms, renovate it, make it more luxurious, put hundreds of women on board, and provide services specifically to the US military bases in the Caribbean."

"Docked nearby and let the idle US troops in the base board the boat to have fun."

"Shit!" Jonas cursed excitedly, "Your idea is so fucking beautiful. How come no one provided this kind of service when we were soldiers!"

"You know, you're saving the anus of those sissies!"

"If those stinky guys hear this, they will definitely treat you as God, and they will scream your name when they erupt with force, Sean!! Ahhhhhhh!!"

"Fuck you, uncle, don't disgust me!" Sean rolled his eyes fiercely, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps when he thought of that scene.

Jonas laughed for a while and bickered for a while before saying, "But I don't have time to do this. I'm too busy recently."

"Los Angeles is not the Newark it used to be. The population of the greater Los Angeles area alone is greater than that of the entire New Jersey!"

"The forces are complicated. You are not here, the base of the umbrella is not here, and our foundation is not here. It is all up to me to open up the Los Angeles market. It is very difficult. I have been very stressed recently."

"You can't even imagine that I was shot by someone a few days ago. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and the security around me was strong. The attacker was killed on the spot, but one of my brothers was still shot and injured."

"There is such a thing!" Sean frowned, with anger in his voice, "Why didn't you tell me!"

"What's the use of telling you? This is Los Angeles. After the riots, the current environment is craving for peace and stability. Anyone who causes big troubles at this time will be under tremendous pressure."

"If we want to gain a foothold here, we must first infringe on the interests of many people. This is no longer the case." As he spoke, Jonas sighed.

"In the past in New Jersey, we were the challengers. Like you said, we were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Now we have to wear shoes. Those who have been ruined their jobs have nothing to lose. They jump out and fight.

Isn’t it normal to take revenge with a black gun!”

"It's just a small fucking gang, just a few people. What's the use of telling you this? How about using hundreds of soldiers to start a war?"

“Now it’s my fucking time to think about impact issues and safety issues!”

Sean was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

This is a story in which a dragon slayer turns into an evil dragon and a new dragon slayer appears.

"Forget it, please tighten the security, don't really get your head blown off!" After chatting with Jonas for a few more words, Sean hung up the phone.

Considering that Jonas is indeed very busy, the Los Angeles Police Department needs to reorganize its interests. The interests of the grassroots police officers and the interests of the middle and high-level police must be guaranteed.

Re-plan the market, win over a group of people, and attack a group of people.

Dealing with judges, dealing with clients...

The base camp is not in Los Angeles, so things are very troublesome.

After thinking about it, I decided to leave this matter to Jeff the High Sparrow.

There are many beauties in Colombia, the prices are cheaper, and they are not from the United States, so the negative impact is smaller.

Of course, we are just making arrangements now, and it is still early to take actual action.

Passenger ships need to be purchased, decorated, and women need to be recruited.

And for the first time, Sean has to show up in person.

In theory, anyone can start this kind of business and make money, but in reality it's a completely different story.
