Chapter 572 Stop losses in time

After understanding the real situation in Turkey, Fang Lang knew that Turkey was definitely not a country suitable for his highway plan. After all, the other country did not need reconstruction at all and the demand for infrastructure was not strong.

"Since they don't need to rebuild, let's not continue to work together. Let's seize the time to get away from Türkiye and turn our attention to other countries!

While there is still time, we will first plan the highway routes throughout Europe, and when the assistance plan is officially confirmed, we will roll it out quickly.

Of course, if the political situation in some countries is stable and the local governments are willing to accept our cooperation method, we can start early."

Yassini Khatung originally thought that he would be blamed for not completing his task when he came back. Unexpectedly, his boss didn't care about it at all, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

What he didn't even know was that Fang Lang had not wanted to participate in aid to Turkey from the beginning, and now he was taking this opportunity to announce his withdrawal.

But things were obviously not that simple. While Yassini Hatong breathed a sigh of relief, he spoke again with some embarrassment:

"But, boss, the Turkish government is very interested in this project after learning about our highway construction plan. Although, our cooperation negotiations have reached a deadlock.

But their Minister of Transport made it clear to me that since we are Pan-European Highway Management Co., Ltd. and plan to build highways throughout Europe, we cannot leave Turkey behind."

"What do you mean? If we don't do business that makes no money, we can't do it anymore? Do you still want to buy and sell by force?"

Yassini Khatung's words immediately made Fang Lang frown. He had never thought that the Turks could be so difficult to deal with.

"Because when I first negotiated with them, I said that this highway project was of an aid nature, and the purpose was to restore the transportation of various countries damaged by the war as soon as possible.

Therefore, their Minister of Transportation said that now they are also one of the recipient countries. We cannot ignore their needs."

Fang Lang understood what the other party meant. Turkey was indeed on the list of European aid plans, and the heads of their relevant departments were also arguing with the leaders of other European countries in an attempt to obtain more aid.

Now seeing that Fang Lang and the others have expressed their intention to assist in the construction of transportation in various countries, they will of course want to take advantage of this.

"RND spiral fart, we are assisting European countries whose infrastructure has been seriously damaged, and Turkey is involved.

Not to mention that the infrastructure is intact, they are not even a European country, so ignore them and let our people evacuate from Türkiye to Greece.

If they want assistance, let them go to the U.S. government. We are a private company and don't care about it."

Fang Lang angrily expressed his attitude directly. Yassini Khatong deeply agreed with this, but in the end he still had to bite the bullet and said:

"I have expressed the same opinion as you to Turkey a long time ago, but the other party asked us to treat everyone equally, otherwise our group's other projects in Turkey will also be restricted."

“What do you mean, if we don’t help them build highways, they won’t even let us invest in other projects, right?

In addition to your highway project in Türkiye, does our group have any other local projects now?"

Yasini Khatung's words really made Fang Lang laugh a little angrily. He had never encountered such a thing before. He didn't have much affection for Turkey in the first place. Now that he was doing this, he felt a little disgusted in his heart.

.

What's more important is that Turkey is now an agricultural country, and its economic strength is not strong at all. This is similar to Brazil's status. Even in later generations, although Turkey occupies unique innate geographical and political advantages, its industrial development is still weak.

You must know that Turkey is a member of NATO. With the support of developed countries in Europe and the United States, they can purchase the most advanced production equipment and advanced technologies in the world. But even so, the industrial products produced by Turkey are unknown in the world.

Unknown.

Most of their main industrial products are light industrial products, and their markets are mainly concentrated in Middle Eastern countries dominated by MSL. They are simply not competitive in the global market.

"Yes. In addition to us discussing highway projects with the Turkish government, Global Terminals and Port Machinery Company are also discussing the construction of new container terminals with the local government of Istanbul."

"Just this one project?"

"Yes!"

"In this case, let's just withdraw from all investment projects in Turkey! I am convinced by such a government."

Yassini Khatung obviously did not expect that Fang Lang would be so willful and divest all investment immediately if they disagreed. You must know that although the two companies were only negotiating in the early stage, they also invested a large amount of money in order to successfully enter the Turkish market.

Yes, their expressway company has inspected everywhere, measured the local terrain, and even planned the route in Turkey.

Now that they have withdrawn their investment, their losses will be considerable, so they quickly said:

"Boss, isn't this too hasty? In order to win the project, we invested a lot of money in the local area in the early stage. If we withdraw directly, our losses will be considerable."

Of course Fang Lang had anticipated this situation, and waved his hands without raising his head and said:

"I can afford to lose this small amount of money. They, Turkey, want to take advantage of me. Don't even think about it. You must bring out all the results of your preliminary investigation that you can find a way to bring out. We cannot give them the opportunity to take advantage."

Seeing that Fang Lang had made up his mind, Yassini Hatong also knew that there was nothing more to say, so he could only nodded and said:

"Yes, boss! Then where should we start first?"

Originally, according to Fang Lang's original plan, he wanted to start his European aid plan from Greece, but later, after his own Whip of God joined the Greek battlefield, he understood what the current situation in Greece was.

It can be said that Greece during this period was the European version of home. The difference was that the US government supported the Greek government more strongly than it did Chang Kaishen. According to the latest intelligence he obtained, the US government not only hired mercenaries from its own company to join the war.

Regular U.S. troops were also directly dispatched to participate in the war. Last week, the U.S.-Greece Joint General Staff was established, with U.S. officers directly commanding the Greek government forces in combat.

Although the Greek government forces have the support of the Americans, and his God's Whip Military Contracting Company has also directly participated in the Greek civil war as a military contractor, judging from what Fang Lang has seen now, the government forces want to easily

Winning doesn't seem easy.

At least, in the minds of Greek locals, the KKE is obviously more popular. After all, when Greece was occupied by the Axis powers, it was the KKE fighters who led the Greek people to resist the invaders.

If Fang Lang hadn't come from later generations and understood the history of the future, Fang Lang would really not be sure who the final winner of the Greek Civil War would be, and he wouldn't dare to send employees of his Whip of God Military Contracting Company to Greece as he does now.

battlefield.

In real history, the Greek Civil War lasted until October 1949. The fundamental reason for the victory of the government forces in the Greek Civil War was not a military victory, but the political struggle behind the Greek Communist Party.

The KKE’s struggle has not actually received the full support of the Father of Steel. The reason may be because of the agreement reached on the Greek issue between the Father of Steel and European and American leaders during World War II. The real support behind the KKE

The winner has always been Yugoslavia.

In June 1949, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia deteriorated, which also led to the differentiation of forces within the KKE. Forces that identified with the Soviet Union eventually gained power in the KKE.

Then in July of the same year, Yugoslavia announced that it would close its borders that were originally fully open to the democratic forces led by the Communist Party of Greece, and expel all the democratic forces in the territory.

The KKE Democratic Army, which lost support from Yugoslavia, had to turn to Albania for activities, but the conditions in Albania were obviously not as good as Yugoslavia. In addition, the KKE Democratic Army internally purged soldiers who identified with the Yugoslav side, resulting in a rapid decline in the internal combat effectiveness of the army.

By September 1949, Albania must have received a hint from the Soviet Union and stopped supporting the KKE. As a result, the KKE was finally isolated and helpless, and on October 16, it announced a cessation of resistance.

At this time, Fang Lang didn't know how long the Greek Civil War would last, but he knew very well from later generations that the Greek government forces would definitely win the final victory, so of course he was willing to let his God's Whip military

The contracting company comes here to train its team.

It stands to reason that he still has a good impression of Greece, and he should not let his own people go to Greece to help the evildoers. When he knows that the Greek Communist Party will eventually fail, let him give up his efforts to induce the US military to use military contracting companies in advance, and reduce the impact on Europe.

In his opinion, the investment in military bases is still necessary.

At least, judging from the current situation, the troops sent by the United States to Greece are mainly composed of senior officers, while the grassroots soldiers on the front line are mostly soldiers from military contracting companies.

Soldiers from military contracting companies on the Greek front line are mainly responsible for training Greek government soldiers and protecting some important institutions and facilities. The soldiers responsible for fighting positional battles with the Greek Communist Party are still soldiers of the Greek government army.

Therefore, the casualties suffered by God's Whip Military Contracting Company on the Greek frontline so far are not serious, at least not to the extent that Fang Lang needs to consider withdrawing from Greece.

Since Fang Lang now has a clear judgment on the situation in Greece, he will certainly not continue to choose to provide assistance in Greece first as he originally planned.

"Although most countries in Europe are in economic difficulties now, there are no countries that are directly involved in war like Greece. We can first focus on those countries whose domestic infrastructure and transportation facilities have been seriously damaged, such as Germany, Poland, and France.

In Germany, we mainly consider the areas controlled by Britain and the United States. After all, the areas controlled by the Soviet Union are not within the scope of our assistance. And as a defeated country, the German government should be the best to be convinced, and you can take the lead in starting with them.

After a good start with the Germans, it should be easier to negotiate with other countries."

Hearing this, Yassini Hatong understood that his boss had learned a lesson from Turkey. At this moment, he was not as optimistic as before. Therefore, after listening to Fang Lang's words, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, boss! Then after we withdraw from Türkiye, we will first go to Germany to inspect the local situation."

Fang Lang seemed to be in a low mood when he saw the other party. He seemed to have been hit a bit. He smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be discouraged. Turkey has never been our focus, and the current situation is not your fault. It's also my fault that I didn't investigate the situation clearly.

I can tell you clearly that the European reconstruction plan proposed by Secretary of State Marshall in July this year will definitely be passed by Congress no later than next spring, and the official start of assistance will not be later than July.

Although the plan has not yet officially started to be implemented, European governments are already discussing the distribution of benefits, so your appearance at this time is a clear signal to these countries. After all, the shareholders behind our company except our Global Group

And the Morgan and Rockefeller syndicates.

I think as long as the politicians in these countries are not as greedy as the Turks, they should know what to do."

Fang Lang thinks about it now. It may not be a bad thing for them to withdraw from Turkey directly and forcefully. At least it can let other countries know that their assistance will not be free. If they just want to take advantage and not pay, they may

Retreat directly.

The Europeans would not be so stupid to offend the two largest financial groups in the United States before the U.S. aid plan has officially begun.

As the CEO of the Pan-European Highway Management Company, Yassini Hartung certainly knew about the European Aid Plan, but he did not know much about the specifics of the plan, but he knew that the power behind his company must be very powerful.

Know the inside story.

Now after hearing Fang Lang's words, his confidence, which had been a little bit shaken, immediately came back. He felt that he was no longer simply building highways in Europe, but was representing the American consortium to test the attitudes of European countries towards American aid.

If European countries continue to act too greedy, he would not mind using the European aid plan that has not yet been formally passed by Congress to try to tease them.

Although he cannot prevent the passage of the European aid plan, it is not possible to use the influence of the consortium to reduce the amount of aid to your country, or even to kick some uninformed small countries off the aid list!

As long as I use my words well, I don't believe those countries dare to obey.

Yassini Hatong's eyes lit up when he thought of this, and he nodded seriously to Fang Lang and said:

"Yes, boss, I know what to do. I will not let you down again this time."

Seeing the excited expression on the other party's face, Fang Lang didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he didn't continue to delve deeper. As long as the other party could maintain sufficient enthusiasm, he didn't care what the other party was thinking!

Therefore, Fang Lang then painted the cake for the other party for a while to make sure that the other party had really regained confidence and had a clear direction for the next work before he sent the other party away.
