Chapter 193 Blackwater Internationals Big Business
"Why are you worried about this? As long as you first declare and recognize my legal right to rule Sulawesi, and then I hire troops in my own name, it will be fine. If I have a bad reputation, it is also my reputation... What do you have to worry about?
?" Qiao Xi looked at the Dutch Ambassador in surprise and asked.
The Dutch ambassador was immediately embarrassed when Qiao Xi asked him this question.
"Are you still thinking that the army hired with my money will be under your control?" Seeing the expression of the Dutch ambassador, Josie was speechless.
This emotional person really thinks so.
Spending my money to hire an army in your name and letting you control the military power? What are you dreaming about?
If you regret it later, who will I go to?
Not to mention, with the Dutch people's peeing habits, this is really possible.
Although the country is small, this country, like France, also has a good tradition of defaulting on debts and being dishonest.
Not to mention that the previous contract with the Republic of Java was torn up in minutes. As the first country in the world to start its financial industry, the Netherlands also invented the perpetual bond.
What is a perpetual bond? It is a bond that has no clear maturity date or a very long term, that is, it theoretically lasts forever.
In theory, this kind of bond never needs to consider repaying the principal, as long as the interest is always paid.
Although it was adopted by many countries in later generations and has a nice name, it is actually a very shameless way of defaulting on debts.
If Josie really only contributed the money and Holland made the final decision on everything else, then he would be a real injustice.
Faced with Qiao Xi's disdainful gaze, the Dutch ambassador felt slightly embarrassed. In fact, the top leaders of the Dutch government actually had this idea at the beginning, using the name of a short seller to trick Qiao Xi into providing money and supplies.
However, considering Qiao Xi's identity and his influence in the US government, this proposal was quickly rejected.
Because the Marshall Plan that is about to be implemented by the United States is now a completely open policy, and the remaining issue is the distribution of benefits. If the Netherlands offends Josie at this moment, and then Josie uses his influence to cause the US authorities to
If you are dissatisfied, then the Netherlands may really lose more than you gain.
"Mr. Kahn is joking, aren't we worried that you can't withstand international public opinion..." the Dutch ambassador laughed. He has his own ideas, but it is absolutely impossible to admit them.
"I don't need to worry about it, Mr. Ambassador. I can still bear this kind of public opinion." Qiao Xi did not pursue this matter. International public opinion is definitely something that cannot be avoided.
As long as Qiaosi wants to take over Sulawesi's interests in a formal name, he will inevitably have to accept a certain degree of criticism. It cannot be said that he can just throw the blame to mercenaries or something like that.
It's just that - after being attacked by international public opinion, will Qiao Xi lose a few pieces of meat?
At the same time that he agreed to help the Netherlands send troops, Qiao Xi also made a decision in his heart. If he had the opportunity, he would have to teach the Dutch a lesson.
Haha, Sulawesi?
When Josie actually dispatches the army, do you expect him to spit it out after eating it in his mouth? What a dream!
Franco and the Dutch ambassador were sent away.
Josie took action.
A transoceanic satellite phone call was made to an office building in a military base in Virginia, USA. With Boeing Aerospace officially opening the aerospace era and transoceanic instant messaging, Qiao Xi was naturally able to use it openly.
.
However, the military base that Qiao Xi called does not belong to the U.S. military, but to private individuals.
Its official name is Blackwater International Military Services.
It was the private military services company established by Josie after reorganizing the Blackwater Gang.
In the original time and space, the emergence of a large number of private military service companies - PMC, was in the late Cold War.
PMC is not just a mercenary, there is a huge difference between the two.
Of course, this difference is not that pmc does not engage in mercenary work. It is just that compared to mercenaries, pmc's business is broader and more professional.
Obviously, the Blackwater Company, which was established decades in advance by Qiao Xi, under his guidance, has become such an extremely professional military service company.
It is precisely because of this professionalism, coupled with Qiao Xi's good relationship with the military and his position in the US government, that with his help, the Pentagon is very interested in this new concept of private military service companies.
interest.
In addition, Blackwater International deliberately hired many generals and officers who retired during the great disarmament.
Therefore, although Blackwater International has only been established for two years, it has been basically recognized by the Pentagon, received a lot of defense orders, and is growing day by day.
In order to facilitate business communication, its headquarters was also moved to Virginia, close to the Pentagon.
In addition to the Pentagon, Blackwater International has also received a certain degree of promotion in its private security business under the promotion of Continental Group.
But internationally, Blackwater International is not well-known yet, so it is called international, but in fact it is not international at all.
In Qiao Xi's view, the Dutch-Java War is a good advertising opportunity for Blackwater International.
And this does not conflict with what Qiao Xi told the Dutch ambassador before, hiring German prisoners to fight.
Is there a problem with Josie paying Blackwater International, which hires cheaper German prisoners of war as soldiers?
no problem.
In this way, Qiao Xi only needs to bear the accusation of being an "accomplice of the colonists" and simply get rid of it by hiring war criminals to fight.
"Oh, big boss, you are such a rare visitor. I thought that after you got married, your life was too sweet and you had forgotten about Blackwater International." On the other end, Aldo, who is the general manager of Blackwater International, answered the phone and smiled.
quipped to Josie.
"No matter how sweet life is, you still have to earn money for milk powder. Aldo, I brought a big deal." Josie said straight to the point.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh? Who is the employer? What does he want to do?" Aldo was stunned when he heard this, and then asked.
"I am the employer!" Josie said.
"Um...Josie, I work very hard every day, and I didn't ask you to tease me..." Aldo was speechless. The company belongs to you, so you just gave the order to hire a hammer.
"No, Aldo, I'm not kidding you. I am now officially in the name of the hereditary earl appointed by the royal family of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the governor of Sulawesi. I am hiring Blackwater International to organize military forces to eliminate illegal illegal activities in Dutch Java.
The government and armed forces provide force protection for me and the Dutch royal family to rule the Java region." Josi interrupted Aldo and explained.
Aldo was stunned when he heard this. Good guy, are you still related to the Dutch royal family? That's awesome!
As a private military service company, it is impossible for Aldo not to know about the war in Java.
And although this war has nothing to do with Blackwater in general, there is also a lot of shipping traffic from the United States in Southeast Asia. Blackwater International has provided security services for many related shipping companies and individuals.
I just didn't expect that Blackwater International would have the opportunity to directly participate in this war.
"But there is a problem here, Josie. If we want to intervene in this war, we may not have enough employees now. Of course, we can also recruit veterans, but it will take a lot of time, and the cost will be far higher than expected.
!" Aldo said hesitantly.
Although the number of U.S. military veterans after the war is extremely large, as disarmament has been basically completed, most of the returning U.S. troops have returned to social positions. After World War II, the United States is basically in a state of rapid economic development, with per capita income growing rapidly.
.
Under this background, the cost of bringing retired US soldiers back to the battlefield has naturally increased.
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this. Blackwater International's acceptance of my employment is just a name to some extent. In fact, I have prepared a real combat army. There are still a large number of troops from various countries in Europe.
The German prisoners of war cannot return home. We can buy them from those countries without spending much money. Even if those countries are not willing, there are still millions of people in Germany who don’t even have enough to eat!” After hearing Aldo’s words,
Qiao Xi said indifferently.
As he said, apart from the German prisoners of war who are still being held as coolies by various countries, even the millions of people who have been released to Germany are still on the verge of starvation.
Although the Cold War started in 1947.
However, during this period, the two camps actually maintained a superficial peace, and the confrontation between the two sides was not very serious.
In addition, the trauma caused by the war has not yet been shaken off, so the Democratic Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany have not yet been established, and the entire Germany is still in the stage of being crazily conquered by several victorious countries.
Therefore, the life of the Germans during this period was very miserable. In the winter of 1946 alone, more than 100,000 people froze to death in Germany, mainly in the areas controlled by the British and French Bears.
Because of the relationship between Austria and the United States, life in the American-occupied area was pretty good. Although they were very poor, at least they would not starve to death or freeze to death.
This situation will not change until at least 1949, when the two major camps support a new government in order to confront each other.
It is precisely for this reason that in the past few years, a large number of Germans have tried to escape through various channels every year into Bavaria, the "paradise on earth" that has become a part of Austria.
In this case, if someone comes from the US-occupied area, Austria's approach is to repatriate and block them - after all, the two countries are in a complete honeymoon period, and Austria does not want to offend the Americans for this kind of thing.
Moreover, the Germans in the US-occupied areas only had a harder time, but they were able to survive at least.
Not many people came from the British and French furry bears, and Austria accepted them all, which could just supplement the labor force that Austria desperately needed - with the various high-tech technologies provided by Qiao Xi, Austria's industry and the speed of economic improvement, compared with
The U.S. mainland is even faster.
But like the United States, this situation has created a labor gap in Austria.
So if possible, Austria would actually be happy to receive the Germans, well, it would be best to also receive all the German territories.
Deao is a family.
It's a pity that even the United States, its closest ally, cannot allow this kind of thing.
Moreover, several occupying countries other than the United States also have strict control over border areas, so the number of people who can actually cross the border into Austria is not very large.
However, if Qiao Xi recruits some combatants in the occupied areas of several countries except Mao Xiong in the name of Blackwater and the Netherlands, I think these countries will not mind.
After all, the Netherlands has always been an important ally of Britain and France, and now it is also a target that the United States needs to win over.
Moreover, in this period of turbulent independence trends in the world's colonies, Britain and France were very happy to see the Netherlands stabilize the Java region.
So even without those prisoners of war, Qiao Xi could easily recruit a large amount of cannon fodder from Germany during this period.
"This is a good idea, but if the salary is too low, those Germans may not be able to fight with all their heart, right?" When Aldo heard what Josi said, he immediately knew what his idea was, but he still had some doubts.
This is also his mindset after running a private military service company.
Those are mercenaries, and in the final analysis they are all about making money.
If they are just limited to having enough food, then even those prisoners of war are unlikely to work hard. This is different from simply doing coolies.
"This is easy to handle. If I promise them that as long as they fight well, they and their families can become official citizens of Sulawesi. Do you think they will go all out?" Qiao Xi said with a smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is what Qiao Xi had planned all along.
The indigenous people of Java are poor, lazy, and love to make trouble, and most of them believe in the Green sect. This will definitely be detrimental to Josi's future rule over Sulawesi, and they will basically not accept Josi's rule.
Therefore, if you want to maintain long-term rule over this area, the best way is to find a way to replace the residents of this land.
Of course, this is not something Qiao Xi wants to do against humanity.
The method of replacement does not necessarily require killing, you can also chase them.
The Dutch have impure thoughts. After the war is won, they will drive all the natives into the Dutch-controlled areas... Hehe.
And in addition to the Dutch, Java is also bordered by Malaya, which is still under the control of the British. As the situation in Java becomes unstable and the British strength declines too fast, the situation in Malaya is not the same.
Very optimistic.
In the original time and space, a few years after Java became independent, Malaya also successfully got rid of British control and became independent.
At that time, Qiao Xi can completely follow the current model with the Netherlands and cooperate with the United Kingdom to swallow a large piece of meat from Malaya.
The eleventh largest island in the world is far less attractive than the third largest island in the world.
"I see, I understand, I will take people to Europe tomorrow!" Aldo replied immediately.
"Don't be anxious, Aldo. I can't be too active in this matter. I have to make the Dutch anxious. In fact, I have another proposal. I don't know if you are interested in it." Josie said.
"What proposal?" Aldo asked in confusion.
"Is your mother's tribe interested in changing their lives on another piece of land?" Qiao Xi asked.
Aldo was stunned when he heard this.
"you mean?"
"Literally speaking, although there are volcanoes in Sulawesi, the overall environment is still good and the materials are very rich. There is no problem in accommodating tens of millions of people. However, I don't like the indigenous people on this land...
...You know what I mean?" Josie said.
"I understand, but this matter is not something I can decide. After all, it is related to the future of the entire tribe. I have to go back and ask my grandfather!" Aldo said in a serious tone.
The topic between the two seems a bit inexplicable, but everything is actually based on Aldo's bloodline.
Aldo is not a pure white man, he is a mixed race.
It's just that he is not a mixed race. His father is a white man, and his mother is an Indian, and she is also the daughter of the leader of a large Indian tribe.
As for Aldo's father, he has never met him - if he had the opportunity to meet that person, Aldo would be very happy to give him a bullet.
No, instead of sending bullets, he directly injected the animal-transforming agent and then smashed the man into a pulp.
Because Aldo's birth was actually very disgraceful, and it was even more of a shame for his mother.
More than thirty years ago, Aldo's mother went hunting with two guards and encountered several white hunters.
As a result, Aldo's mother's bodyguards were killed and Aldo herself was humiliated.
But the final result was that the white hunters did not suffer any consequences and were protected by the U.S. authorities.
And this is the current living situation of the native North American aborigines and Indians.
Although the Americans have long stopped the large-scale massacre of Indians.
But the living environment of Indians in the United States is actually worse than black to a large extent.
The so-called reservations are nominally designed to protect their living environment from destruction, but in fact they are no different from concentration camps. They are restrictions on Indians - shackles that restrict their integration into the United States.
Even in the 21st century, the Indian ethnic group has the worst education and living standards among all ethnic groups in the United States.
When black people clamor for racial equality, almost no one cares about this group that has always been marginalized in the United States.
I can only watch helplessly as the US government covers up everything in the past and silently suffers all unfair treatment.
