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

"Since they don't need to rebuild, let's not keep going. Hurry up and get out of Turkey and look to other countries!

While we still have time, we will first map out the entire European motorway route, and when the aid package is officially confirmed, we will quickly roll it out.

Of course, if there are countries where the political situation is stable and the local governments are willing to accept our cooperation, we can start early. ”

Yasini Hartung thought that his mission was not completed and that he would be blamed when he returned, but he didn't expect that the boss didn't care about it at all, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

He didn't know that Fang Lang didn't really want to participate in the aid to Turkey from the beginning, and now he just took this opportunity to announce his withdrawal.

But things were obviously not so simple, and while Yasini Hartung breathed a sigh of relief, he re-spoke with some embarrassment:

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

But their Minister of Transport made it clear to me that since we are the Pan-European Highway Management Co., Ltd., and we plan to build a highway through the whole of Europe, we cannot leave them Turkey behind. ”

"What do you mean? If we don't make money in a business, we can't do it? Do you still want to buy and sell? ”

Yasini Hartung's words suddenly made Fang Lang's brows furrow, he really didn't expect the Turks to be so difficult.

"Because when I first started negotiating with them, I said that this highway project was in the nature of assistance, and the purpose was to restore the traffic of various countries damaged by the war as soon as possible.

So, their transport minister said that now they are also among the recipient countries. We can't ignore their needs. ”

Fang Lang understood what the other party meant, and now Turkey is indeed on the list of European aid plans, and the heads of their relevant departments are also arguing with the leaders of other European countries, wanting to seek more aid.

Now seeing Fang Lang, they said that they want to help build the transportation of various countries, and of course they will want to take this benefit into their pockets.

"Put the RND spiral fart, we are helping European countries with seriously damaged infrastructure, and he is in Turkey.

Not to mention the intact infrastructure, they are not even European countries, ignore them and let our people withdraw from Turkey to Greece.

They want help getting them to the U.S. government, we're a private company, don't bother with him. ”

Fang Lang angrily and directly expressed his attitude, and Yasini Hartung deeply agreed with this, but in the end he still stubbornly said:

"I have long expressed the same opinion to Turkey, but the other party said that we should be treated equally, otherwise our group's other projects in Turkey will also be restricted."

"What do you mean, if you don't help them build the highway, they won't even let us invest in other projects, right?

In addition to your highway project, do you have any other projects in Turkey in the local area? ”

Yasini Hartung's words really made Fang Lang laugh a little, he had never encountered this kind of thing, he didn't have much affection for Turkey, but now when he did this, he felt a little disgusted in his heart.

More importantly, Turkey is now an agricultural country, and its economic strength is not strong at all, which is similar to the status of Brazil.

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

Their main industrial products are mainly light industrial products, and the market is mainly concentrated in the Middle East countries, which are dominated by MSL, and they are not competitive in the global market at all.

"Yes, in addition to the highway project with the Turkish government, Global Terminals and HAECO are also discussing the construction of a new container terminal with the local government in Istanbul."

"Just this one project?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, let's just exit all Turkish investment projects! When I met such a government, I also obeyed. ”

Yasini Hartung obviously did not expect Fang Lang to be so capricious, and he would directly withdraw his investment without agreeing, you must know that although the two companies were only negotiating in the early stage, in order to be able to enter the Turkish market smoothly, they also invested a lot of money, and their highway company was even more inspected, the local terrain was calculated, and even the route planning in Turkey has been done.

Now that they say that they will withdraw their capital, then their losses are not small, so they hurriedly said:

"Boss, won't this be too hasty, we invested a lot of money in the local area in order to win the project in the early stage, and if we withdraw directly, our loss is not small."

Of course, Fang Lang had expected this situation, and waved his hand without raising his head:

"I can afford to lose this little money, they Turkey want to pinch me, don't even think about it. The results of your preliminary investigation, if you can find a way to bring them out, you must bring them out, and we can't give them the opportunity to take advantage. ”

Seeing that Fang Lang's mind had been decided, Yasini Hartung also knew that there was nothing to say, so he nodded and said:

"Yes, boss! So where do we start first? ”

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

It can be said that Greece in this period is the European version of the hometown, the difference is that the US government supports the Greek government more strongly than Chang Kaishen, according to the latest information he has obtained, the US government in addition to hiring mercenaries from its own companies to participate in the war.

It also directly dispatched the regular troops of the US military to the war, and even established the US-Greek Joint General Staff last week, with US officers directly commanding the Greek government forces to fight.

Despite the fact that the Greek government forces had the support of the Americans, and that his Whip of God military contracting company was also directly involved in the Greek civil war as a military contractor, it seems that it will not be easy for the government forces to win easily, judging from what Fang Lang has seen now.

At least, in the minds of the Greek locals, the Greek Communist Party was obviously more popular with the people, after all, during the occupation of Greece by the Axis powers, it was always the Greek Communist Party fighters who led the Greek people against the invaders.

If it weren't for Fang Lang's coming from the afterlife and understanding the history of the future, Fang Lang really didn't dare to be sure who the final winner of the Greek Civil War was, and he wouldn't dare to send the employees of his Whip of God Military Contracting Company to the Greek battlefield like now.

In real history, the Greek civil war lasted until October 1949, and the fundamental reason for the victory of the government army in the Greek civil war was not from the military victory, but from the political struggle behind the Greek Communist Party.

The struggle of the Greek Communist Party has not actually been fully supported by the Iron Father, probably because of the agreement reached between the Iron Father and the leaders of Europe and the United States on the Greek question during the Second World War. And the real supporter behind the Greek Communist Party has always been Yugoslavia.

In June 1949, relations between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia deteriorated, which also led to a split within the Greek Communist Party, and the forces that identified with the Soviet Union eventually gained the rights of the Greek Communist Party.

Then, in July of the same year, Yugoslavia announced the closure of its borders, which had been fully open to the Democratic Army led by the Greek Communist Party, and expelled all the Democratic Forces in the territory from the country.

The Greek Communist Democratic Army, which had lost the support of Yugoslavia, had to turn to Albania, but the conditions in Albania were obviously not as good as in Yugoslavia. In addition, the internal purge of soldiers belonging to the Yugoslav side of the Greek Communist Democratic Army has led to a rapid decline in the combat effectiveness of the army.

By September 1949, the Albanian side should have received a hint from the Soviet side to stop supporting the Greek Communist Party, resulting in the Greek Communist Party finally being isolated and announcing the cessation of resistance on October 16.

At this time, Fang Lang, although he didn't know when the Greek Civil War was going to be fought, he knew very well that in the end, the Greek government army would definitely win the final victory, so of course he was willing to let his God's Whip Military Contracting Company come here to exercise the team.

It stands to reason that he still has a very good impression of Greece, and he should not let his own people go to Greece to help the abuse, and when he knows that the Greek Communist Party will eventually fail, let him give up his own induce the US military to use military contracting companies in advance and reduce investment in European military bases, in his opinion, it is still very necessary.

At the very least, judging from the current situation, the troops sent by the United States to Greece are mainly high-ranking officers, and the front-line grassroots soldiers are mainly soldiers of military contracting companies.

The soldiers of the military contracting company on the Greek front line are mainly training the soldiers of the Greek government army, as well as the defense of some important institutions and facilities, and the soldiers responsible for fighting positional warfare with the Greek communists are still soldiers of the Greek government army.

Therefore, so far, the casualties of the Whip of God Military Contracting Company on the Greek front line have not been 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, of course he will 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 like Greece that are directly at war, and we can first focus on those countries whose domestic infrastructure is seriously damaged, such as Germany, Poland, and France.

Among them, Germany and 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 be the first to start with them.

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

When Yasini Hartung heard this, he understood that the boss had learned a lesson from Turkey, and he was not as optimistic as he used to be at this moment, so after listening to Fang Lang's words, he nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, boss! After we withdrew from Turkey, we first went to Germany to inspect the local situation. ”

Fang Lang saw that the other party's mood didn't seem to be high, as if he had received some blows, he patted the other party's shoulder with a smile and said:

"Don't be discouraged, Turkey has never been our focus, and the current situation is not your fault, which is also to blame for not investigating the situation clearly.

I can tell you unequivocally that the plan for rebuilding Europe, presented by Secretary of State Marshall this July, will be adopted by Congress by next spring at the latest, and that aid will begin no later than July.

Although the plan has not yet been officially implemented, European governments are already discussing the distribution of benefits, so your presence at this time is a clear signal for these countries, after all, the shareholders behind our company are not only our Universal Group, but also the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums.

I think as long as the politicians of 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 good thing for them to withdraw from Turkey with a direct and tough attitude, at least let other countries know that their assistance will not be gratuitous, if they just want to take advantage and do not pay, they may retreat directly.

Offending two of America's largest consortia before the US aid package even officially began, the Europeans should not be so stupid.

As the CEO of the pan-European highway management company, Yasini Hartung is of course aware of the European aid program, but he does not know much about the specifics of the program, but he knows that the forces behind his company must be very knowledgeable.

Now after hearing Fang Lang's words, his confidence, which had been a little hit, immediately came back. I feel that I am no longer simply trying to build highways in Europe, but that I am testing the attitude of European countries towards American aid on behalf of a consortium of Americans.

If European countries continue to behave too greedily, he doesn't mind moving out of the European aid package that has not yet been formally approved by Congress.

Although he can't stop the passage of the European aid plan, it is not possible to reduce the amount of aid to your country through the influence of the consortium, and even kick some small countries out of the aid list.

As long as you make good use of your words, you don't believe that those countries dare not obey.

Thinking of this, Yasini Hartung's eyes lit up, and he nodded seriously directly at Fang Lang and said:

"Yes, boss, I know what to do, and I won't let you down again this time."

Seeing the excited expression on the other party's face, although Fang Lang didn't know what the other party was thinking in his heart, he didn't continue to dig deeper, as long as the other party could maintain enough enthusiasm, he didn't care what the other party was thinking in his heart!

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