Chapter 178: The Butcher's Knife

Berlin.

The day after the blockade of Soviet troops.

The desperate Prussians looked up at the sky on the streets of the city, on the rooftops, and even on some uncleaned ruins of the war, and in the gray sky, dozens of large transport planes suddenly broke out of the clouds, and then flew almost overhead the buildings, the clouds cracked as if they had been crushed, and a beam of sunlight shone through the clouds on these planes, and round golden badges shone brightly.

"Akito!"

A Prussian with a telescope exclaimed unexpectedly, they were no strangers to this symbol, they had been receiving the favor of this distant country all these years, and when the whole world had abandoned them, only this country was helping them, especially in the most difficult four or five years, four or six years, and countless Prussians were supported by their help.

And this time, they came again, in the most difficult moments of Berlin, in their most desperate moments, these friends from the East came again, with their friendship, with their aid.

After understanding the identity of these transport planes, the whole of West Berlin burst into cheers, and countless people waved their arms into the sky, expressing their excitement with all their strength.

But at this moment, dozens of Soviet fighters appeared in the sky, and the hearts of everyone on the ground were hanging, and everyone knew that the Ming Empire and the Soviets were mortal enemies.

However, what is surprising is that these fighters did not attack, but flew into the transport group to prevent them from landing at Tempelhof Airport, and those huge and bulky transport planes did not show weakness, entangled with these dexterous fighters in the sky, and even collided several times, and saw the screams on the ground continuously.

It is clear that Staling was not ready to keep his promises, but it is not excluded that the Soviet Air Force in East Germany did it on its own. After all, too many of their comrades-in-arms died at the hands of the Ming army, and it is normal to see this symbol swaggering above their heads, and it is normal to be angry.

Of course, this is just a trifle, and the Soviets are doomed to bring shame on themselves.

Just when the Prussians on the ground were worrying about their friends in the sky, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look over there! ”

Well, countless transport planes with the same signs are flying out of the clouds. One, ten, twenty...

As if endless, the skies of West Berlin were obscured by the transport planes of the Ming Air Force.

And the dozens of Soviet fighters, as if submerged, disappeared from people's view in an instant, and then all the transport planes flying over the city, the hatches opened one after another, and a large number of goods packed in square boxes were thrown directly with parachutes.

Prussians on the ground. Screaming like crazy, rushing to the drop point of a parachute, excitedly opening the boxes with the Panlong logo, and also screaming and taking out a piece of down jackets that many people dream of, as well as all kinds of canned food, flour and chocolate, and even milk powder, toffee biscuits, and various snacks, the original gray West Berlin. Instantly overwhelmed by cheers, many East Berliners looked at this side with envy.

And those Soviet fighters in the sky. One by one, they were withdrawn in disgrace, and then a large number of transport planes began to land at Tempelhof Airport.

Two hours later, the U.S. government announced that it would provide air rescue to West Berlin.

At this time, the Ming army's transport plane, which had completed the task of delivering the first batch of relief materials, had already taken off again from Tempelhof Airport.

On the same day, because he stole the limelight from the United States. And Yang Feng, the head of the Ming Empire, who became the focus of the whole world, also raised the butcher's knife in his hand to our friendly neighbors.

The Supreme Court of the Ming Empire announced that in view of the refusal of the Japanese government to implement the previous judgment in the case of the Ming Imperial Bank suing it for arrears. Therefore, it was decided to enforce it, and the enforcement plan was very simple, to seize all Japanese merchant ships passing through the Malacca route, the Java Sea, and the Banda sea route. All merchant ships that pass through this sea area and transport raw materials to or from the Japanese state must pay an additional special tax of 5% on the value of the goods, otherwise they will not be allowed to go until the Japanese government executes the judgment, or the tax reaches the amount of military tickets to be exchanged in the hands of the Ming Imperial Bank.

In order to guarantee this operation, the Ming Empire Navy, with the consent of the governments of the Netherlands and the Autonomous Republic of Southern Maluku, will build a new naval and air base in Ambon.

This enforcement is too ruthless, and this is actually equivalent to choking the neck of the Japanese state, because the shipping route to the Indian Ocean is completely blocked, and the Japanese country wants to export goods in this direction, or wants to import crude oil from the Middle East, wants to import cotton from Tianzhu, and wants to import other industrial raw materials from Africa, all of which must pay a special tax of 5 percent of the value of the goods to Yang Feng. Unless you go around the whole of Australia, there is no other way, and the import and export volume in this direction accounts for more than 70% of the import and export volume of the Japanese country, and Yang Feng is directly stabbed in the heart of the Japanese country.

And there is no other way to solve this, the Wa Kingdom does not have the once huge and feared United Fleet, they don't even have an army, they don't have the ability to use artillery to speak for themselves, but they also don't have the ability to execute the judgment, the equivalent of 50 billion rattan coins, 15,000 tons of gold, what do they take to cash in the Ming Imperial Bank?

Anyway, at this time, many people are also gloating, who made you want to plunder the wealth of the Chinese back then, the Indian military ticket is like printing and playing, and now you are dumbfounded, right?

I knew that there were fewer printing points, and now maybe there is still a way to live.

The only thing left to do is to ask the people of the United States to come forward, after all, they are still under occupation of the United States, but as long as they are not fools in this matter, they all know that the people of the United States will not care, not only that Yang Feng and the people of the United States are quasi-allies, but the most important thing is that the people of the United States have profited from this blockade. Because the Japanese can only turn to the other side of the Pacific Ocean in terms of importing or exporting, especially in terms of imported crude oil, plus a special tax of 5% of the value of goods, the cost of crude oil transported from the Middle East to the Japanese is basically the same as the cost of crude oil transported from the Gulf Coast to the Japanese country.

In the same way, the materials that the Japanese country originally needed to purchase from this direction could only be purchased from the United States, and it would be strange if the capitalists of the United States did not cheer!

On the contrary, European and American oil merchants in the Middle East have been greatly affected.

But the question is...

"Your oil?

Just sell me all your oil, the Shuntian refinery is about to be put into operation, the first phase of the design refining capacity of 5 million tons, the second phase of the project after the completion of the design capacity of 20 million tons, and the supporting polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylic, polyester, etc. will be put into production at the same time, with the current sales of these types of products, it is obvious that I need to continue to build factories as soon as possible. I guess I'm going to have a refinery open this year, and as far as I know, Temasek's Chinese consortium is also preparing to start a big refinery, and there is one in Sumatra, so believe me, if you can't find a large enough oil field in the next 10 years, I'll come to you. ”

Yang Feng said with a smile to a senior executive of BP.

Anyway, they are just as profitable as they sell oil from the United States to the Japanese and from the Middle East to the Japanese, but the British are more affected, especially British Oil, or now known as Anglo-Iranian Oil. Scallops are better, their crude oil is almost all covered by Yang Feng because of the close distance, and the purchase of crude oil by the Japanese is basically based on the oil produced by the Sun Gonggong in Persia, of course, the current situation in the Japanese country, there is actually not much in a year.

Father-in-law Sun came to the door, mainly to take this opportunity to let Yang Feng buy more from them, otherwise they were very dissatisfied with just buying scallops, and now they were relieved when they heard it, and Yang Feng's refinery was covered by the crude oil they sold to the Japanese country.

"Your Excellency, are you interested in deepening cooperation in the plastics industry?"

This guy named Roman said with a smiley face.

Yang Feng's plastic technology and synthetic fiber technology are closely watched by all oil companies, and the polyethylene technology is industrialized, but their production process is high-pressure method, and the products are not the same as Yang Feng's, or far inferior. Polypropylene is not industrialized in other countries at all, because there is no catalyst to be found, acrylic fiber is also not, polyester is made in the laboratory, and the people of Mi are also building industrial production, but Yang Feng has already put it into production.

Of course, more importantly, even if it has been put into production, it does not have any share of the sun father-in-law, they are just a raw material supplier.

"Want to cooperate?"

Yang Feng looked at him with a smile and said.

"Of course."

Roman continued to accompany the smiling face.

"Yes, but first of all, I can only engage in polyester with you, and I still want to maintain an advantage for a few years for the time being."

Yang Feng said.

Mi people's Dakron is officially listed in five or three years, at this time it is estimated that it is not far from the construction of the production line, if you cooperate with the British, then the fastest two years can be put into production, which is equivalent to a cross-cut in the United States, this feeling is still very good, anyway, there are Britons in front of it. Moreover, there were many defects in the early days of polyester, which were not completely solved until the 70s, and after three or five years after he and the Britons put polyester into production, they could change to a new process, and they could still maintain their advantages for a period of time at that time.

"No problem!"

Roman said excitedly that polyester is also a good thing, and the key is that once this thing is industrially produced, the cost will be extremely low.

"But there's one more request, I have to have some extra benefits, or I'm going to lose a lot?"

Yang Feng continued.

"So you want to?"

Roman asked.

Yang Feng suddenly leaned in front of him and said very seriously: "That, that place in the Middle East, can you squeeze it any longer?" (To be continued.) )
