Chapter 192 Anti-monopoly Law
Is it involved the rebels? Zhao Li had no good feelings for the rebels as a whole because of the incident of the airborne camp a few days ago. Although he knew that this was a war, and the rebels they killed several times more than themselves in the airborne camp, he just couldn't treat the rebels with any normal attitude, let alone what Kang Hongyuan said, which would also involve the rebels.
"Doing business with the rebels?" Zhao Li's tone was a bit wrong. Kang Hongyuan's meaning seemed to have such a layer of expression.
"If possible." Kang Hongyuan nodded and answered.
"No!" There is nothing else to say, Zhao Li directly gave Kang Hongyuan a decisive veto: "We will never do business with the enemy!"
"What if one day it's not an enemy?" Kang Hongyuan suddenly asked inexplicably.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Li was very dissatisfied with Kang Hongyuan's always talking so mysteriously, and asked loudly.
"From historical perspective, all countries and nations that fought to the death did not seem to have persisted until the end." Kang Hongyuan looked at Zhao Li and said with a smile: "War has never been the theme of mankind, otherwise there would be no federal government."
This is the truth. If the war of hostility can continue, there would not be such a unified federal government.
"The war will definitely end, you must firmly believe this." Kang Hongyuan probably understood Zhao Li's mood, but he did not say anything more about it. He just patted Zhao Li on the shoulder and walked out alone.
All of Kang Hongyuan's plans were based on the end of the war. However, the prospects of his plans seemed to have aroused the interest of those underground forces. Many people began to calculate how much benefits they could get in the development of the next marginal planet, and prepared for it in advance.
Casinos, without luxury hotels, will definitely not attract people, so early construction has become a must-do homework. Although the three areas under the temporary coalition government are now under the management of the temporary coalition government, in addition to drug dealers and some smugglers, their economic awareness is no worse than any legitimate industrialist.
Prepare first and you can harvest first. This is the truth that is bumpy and unbreakable. On the edge planet, there is no more stable investment environment than the Jinwuxing City. Even if there is war, no matter whether it is the government army or the rebels, no one will carry out large-scale destruction on the areas where civilians live. This is a potential rule. Of course, the exception is for those who are called madmen.
In less than three days, the construction applications for three luxury super five-star hotels were put on the desk of the Jinwuxing Municipal Government. Kang Hongyuan was already the speaker of the coalition government and no longer served as the leader of the Jinwuxing Municipal Government. However, he pushed a soldier who was disabled when he blocked the rebels to the front desk. He was disabled in order to defend the Jinwuxing. He had a politically innate advantage. In addition, he was a supporter of Zhao Li, so the people had no objection at all and had full support.
It is undeniable that even these guys who seem to be unforgivable to the federal government, and when making such investments, they are still following the rules. A series of operations such as land acquisition, relocation, design, and construction are carried out through the municipal government, giving the municipal government enough face.
I guess these people have recognized the situation now. Since the rules have been formulated, everyone must abide by them. If they take the lead and do not abide by them, then no one will take this rule seriously. This will be a disaster for their future prospects or money.
Drug dealers are rich, while smugglers are not short of money. The first few investments are all big. This investment in luxury construction has directly brought huge employment opportunities and more business opportunities to Jinwuxing City. Moreover, in order to cooperate with this series of local development plans, the municipal government even began to lend money to drug dealers to build roads and other infrastructure. After all, drug dealers here are also "legitimate businessmen", aren't they?
After occupying two areas, Zhao Li began to train recruits. In order to consolidate his control over Akara and Saipan, Zhao Li even let those underground armed people act as intelligence personnel. Although it is inconvenient to use them to kill the enemy, it is normal for them to pay attention to the surrounding troubles. These people also seem to be willing to help Zhao Li. At least, as long as Zhao Li is still there, their investment will be very promising.
In normal business, in the environment of the Fringe Planet, especially during wartime, no normal businessman would make such a big investment. However, these rich people on the Fringe Planet are different. They are adventurers themselves. Following Kang Hongyuan's idea, it is a huge gambling for them. This bet does not require them to suppress all their lives. However, once they win the bet, it will be a huge return that they imagined, and almost no one refuses.
The news of the establishment of the temporary coalition government here, along with Kang Hongyuan's prospects for the marginal planet, soon spread to other regions. These underground forces almost had a close connection. When they heard such a good thing, those people in other areas occupied by the rebels wished they could immediately let Zhao Li come over and then quickly join the coalition government. Needless to ask, these people must be the most effective internal response to Zhao Li's attack on the rebels in the future.
Even ordinary people in those places have the same thoughts. Once the free port is established, their lives will be more than ten thousand times better than they are now. Needless to mention the future life, it depends on the citizens of Jinwuxing City now being much more prosperous than other regions. A rainforest mining industry, investment in several super luxury hotels, and the construction of government basic projects, Jinwuxing can hardly find unemployed people. This alone is enough to make the people in other regions extremely jealous.
The people's urgency to recapture the marginal areas can almost be described as hopeless. It seems that after Kang Hongyuan's series of ideas were made public, various intelligence from other places flew over like raindrops, and Zhao Li had to find a few people with a flexible mind to handle the intelligence.
"What the people want!" Kang Hongyuan seemed to have no need to be very busy recently. He looked at the busyness of Yulin Mining with his hands behind his back, and stood beside Zhao Li and sighed.
"Don't you have to go to work hard?" Zhao Li looked at Kang Hongyuan strangely. In the news reports about government leaders he had survived, which leader did not use daily business to describe their busyness. Why did Kang Hongyuan still have the leisure to come here?
"Leave the professional things to the professional department." Kang Hongyuan seized the opportunity to guide Zhao Li's leadership art: "What you have to do is to grasp the general direction and control the rhythm. Just like the order you issued to the 392nd Airborne Battalion, no matter how they complete it, just complete the task."
"Yeah!" Zhao Li whispered, without saying anything. After a while, he asked Kang Hongyuan: "You said, is there a possibility of peace between our local government and the rebels?"
"Yes! Possibilities always exist." Kang Hongyuan affirmed without hesitation: "When the loss of interests of both sides of the war reaches a point where no one can bear it, then they will definitely compromise and turn to another war, such as ideological or economic fields. Our government and rebels are not life-and-death feuds, even if they are feuds, they will have a reconciliation for one day, not to mention that the rebels were originally divided from the Federation, and their people and their soldiers were in the same lineage as the Federation. They had received the same education as us. They had the same history as us, and by this time, everyone was exhausted."
"Exhausted?" Zhao Li repeated Kang Hongyuan's statement: "You mean, the war will end soon?"
"Yes. It won't take long." Kang Hongyuan is full of confidence in this: "You may not have paid attention to federal and rebel news recently. The public's anti-war calls are increasing, and the government and military are under great pressure. Unless either the federal or rebels can have the strength to wipe out the other side in a short period of time, then compromise is certain."
"You seem to be reluctant to eliminate all the rebels?" Zhao Li asked back, listening to Kang Hongyuan's tone.
"Of course!" Kang Hongyuan seemed to not hide his thoughts in front of Zhao Li: "Actually, I hope that when I was on stage, the best result would be to completely quell the war."
"..." Zhao Liwei was speechless in response to this and really didn't know what to say.
From the information summarized from various places, Zhao Li has almost mastered the rebel information distributed in various places. Basically, the rebels' full attack this time seemed to have been well prepared at the beginning. The secret supply channel allowed the rebels to send a lot of people and supplies through large land transport ships. Unfortunately, the supply supplies were almost 80 to 90% of the time being by Zhao Li. Now the rebels' life seems to be very difficult.
The most troublesome thing is that because of the explosion of military airports, the rebels could not use air power in a short period of time. Needless to say, attacking the government forces, even aiding the rebels themselves is unavailable. Even if they can use air power, there is no sufficient ammunition support. The ammunition depot at the airport has been blown up by James.
Zhao Li's judgment was that at most the enemy in each region would only have the power of one battle, because the broken chains on logistics supply could not support large-scale operations. On this planet where almost all opponents, the number of rebels did not have an advantage.
If Zhao Li had a well-trained team on hand, then Zhao Li would immediately start attacking the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, Zhao Li could only think about it, and then slowly accumulate strength and erode the stability of one area at a time.
Zhao Li was once again guaranteed when communicating with General Lucas. Although the government forces could not guarantee that they could provide Zhao Li with assistance for the time being, they could also guarantee that the rebels would not get any support. With this guarantee, Zhao Li could be sure that it was only a matter of time before he could recover the lost land on the edge of the planet.
The rebels sent troops of at least 40,000 people on the entire marginal planet and controlled more than 20 independent areas. Each area was about 2,000 people, the size of a regiment. Now, it seems that the rebels also found that the situation was not good for them and began to consciously gather. In some areas far from Zhao Li's control, only a basic force that could control the situation was left, and several areas bordering the coalition government had relatively increased their garrison power.
Everything seems to take time to solve. Zhao Li understands this, and the rebels also understand it. However, the rebels seem to be shocked by the results of the two consecutive battles against Zhao Li. In addition, they are not very familiar with jungle operations, so they dare not use troops to Akara and Saipan, and Jin Wuxing is even more impoverished.
In such a situation where the right time, place, people and people do not occupy it, Zhao Li can know their information as soon as the rebels move. On the other hand, the rebels seem to have become blind and deaf, and they are increasingly confused about the situation on Zhao Li's side.
"What are you here to do this time?" Zhao Li was paying attention to military intelligence, but he saw Kang Hongyuan seemingly wandering to the military camp leisurely again. He couldn't help asking: "Aren't you busy with the hotel and roads?" Jin Wuxing has been building construction almost all over the city recently, so Kang Hongyuan should be very busy.
"Those are trivial matters." Kang Hongyuan shook his head: "This time I come here to help everyone solve a hidden danger first."
"Hidden danger?" Zhao Li was stunned for a moment: "What hidden danger?"
"Let's talk about it when everyone is together!" Kang Hongyuan didn't seem to want to say it again: "I have informed them to come."
It was still a small group meeting. This time, there were more people, and no one was absent.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Li saw that everyone had arrived, and did not explain much, and asked Kang Hongyuan directly.
"There is a big hidden danger in the rainforest mining industry." Kang Hongyuan did not lay the groundwork and went straight to the topic. Hearing Kang Hongyuan's words, everyone turned to Kang Hongyuan.
"Our products, energy additives, are now a unique product, which makes our sales unbeatable. However, the problem is also here." Kang Hongyuan looked at everyone's attention and pointed out the problem with particular emphasis.
"What's the problem?" Ye Lin was more anxious. After all, Yulin Mining was the hard work of him and James. There were hidden dangers, so how could he not make him anxious?
"Anti-monopoly bill!" Kang Hongyuan said the crux of the problem: "Now the rainforest mining industry is on the edge of the planet, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and those guys have something to ask for, so it is natural that they are easy to say. But once our free trade port is established, they will definitely put this in a dilemma."
"We are independent of our laws here, so it's enough not to recognize their antitrust laws?" Ye Lin didn't care at all.
"They can use other methods." Kang Hongyuan shook his head: "After all, our products are to be sold to the federal government. They can use this as a reason to impose high punitive tax rates, or directly impose fines and confiscations and other means. We must not sell our products, right?"
"What should I do?" Ye Lin was a little unwilling to accept it, but since Kang Hongyuan said this, there must be a solution.
"It's very simple." Kang Hongyuan smiled: "Split!"
