Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol
Chapter 41: Arrival at Loyal Jamaica
After attending Mr. Jiang's wedding and negotiating the marriage with the Wen family, Sun Tong was finally able to take his younger brothers and sisters out for a walk.
Sun Tong's original plan was to go directly to the Ugly Country, but the Chinese in Jamaica had sent out an invitation early on, hoping that Sun Tong could attend their founding ceremony.
That’s right, after years of preparation, the Chinese in Jamaica are now ready to establish an independent country.
Speaking of which, Huayou Company and Yingguo had a lot of arguments because of this matter. It was Yingguo who suffered the loss in this transaction.
In the eyes of those Yingguo guys, Huayou Company completely deceived them this time, otherwise it should be their Great Ying Empire that made money from those Cuban businessmen. Huayou Company or Carl, the "middleman", almost got put on the Yingguo government's blacklist this time and became the most unwelcome foreigner in Yingguo.
Fortunately, Huayou Company reacted quickly enough. Although Huayou Company should make the money, who can blame them for having the bigger fists in this era?
Finally, Huayou Company signed a series of investment agreements with the Ying government, which finally appeased the Ying government.
However, although Britain is shameless, it is still very honest in this transaction with Jamaica.
Especially after the Chinese group in Cuba bought the land and wanted to establish an independent country, the British government actually readily agreed to recognize the country of Jamaica as soon as possible.
The black people living in Jamaica today have long been "transferred" away. Today, in addition to Cubans and South American Chinese, there are also a small number of South Americans living on the island of Jamaica. The entire island has a population of nearly three million.
In order to make the founding ceremony more decent, not long ago, the Jamaica National Preparatory Committee, no, it should be called the 'East China National Preparatory Committee', ordered weapons and equipment worth 7 million US dollars from a company in China in one go.
This includes all the equipment of two army divisions, a fighter squadron and eight offshore patrol boats.
To be honest, given the current situation of the East China Federation Republic, it is really unnecessary for them to buy these things.
After all, Donghua has such a small population. If there is a real invasion by foreign enemies, the two divisions they formed would definitely not be enough on the battlefield. As for the fighter jets and patrol boats they bought, the former are all wooden-hulled aircraft with very low combat effectiveness, and the latter can only wander around in the near sea. It would be difficult for such patrol boats to deal with larger merchant ships. If they really encounter regular troops, they would probably be of no use except delivering food to them.
Carl had advised the other party before. If they really lacked a sense of security, as long as they could afford it, Huayou Company could build them a complete offshore defense system. With this system, even if the Americans wanted to invade them, they would have to consider whether it was appropriate. Generally speaking, this system would definitely be much more useful than those eight patrol boats.
It's a pity that his suggestion was rejected by the senior executives of Donghua. The reason was that they couldn't afford to spend so much money to build this system.
Now that people have said so, what can Carl say? He can't force the sale.
This time when Sun Tong went to Jamaica, he also brought some gifts for the other party.
During the early years of the war, Huayou Company had the best relationship with Ying Country. In order to ensure the safety of its own sea routes, Huayou Company bought a lot of old warships that were about to be eliminated from Ying Country.
These warships were originally purchased mainly to protect the safety of the company's merchant ships. However, after several large shipyards were built in Longhua Territory, Huayou Company had the ability to independently build large warships. Now those old ships that were bought at a high price are completely useless.
Carl was reluctant to directly retire these old ships, after all, he had spent so much money to buy them. But if he wanted to sell them, it would be difficult to find sellers, after all, they were all old ships that were about to be retired.
Even though these ships were upgraded and modified to a certain extent in Longhua after they were purchased, the foundation of the ship is still there. Unless they are dismantled and rebuilt, no matter how they are upgraded, they cannot get rid of their backward performance.
This time, Sun Tong went to participate in the founding ceremony of the Donghua Republic, and he could just take out those old small and medium-sized ships in the Longhua Territory and give them to the other party.
Longhua looks down on these ships, but this does not mean that Donghua also looks down on them. After all, they are warships with a certain combat capability. Using these ships to form a small fleet is definitely not comparable to the big countries, but there is absolutely no problem in bullying the small countries around Donghua.
In addition, Sun Tong also planned to give the other party forty wooden planes, which were old items that had been sealed and retired by Longhua.
In order to ensure the safety of the Longhua territory, two hundred wooden planes were urgently made. Now some of these planes are destroyed and some are sold. It would be a waste to keep the remaining ones. It would be better to give them directly to Donghua, which can be regarded as a gift.
