Chapter 178 Butcher Knife

Berlin.●⌒,

The day after the Soviet army blockade.

The desperate Prussians raised their heads to look up at the sky on the streets, roofs, and even some uncleaned war ruins in the city. In the gray sky, dozens of large transport planes suddenly emerged from the clouds, and then the descent height almost flew over the building's heads. The clouds seemed to be smashed and cracked a gap. A beam of sunlight shone through the clouds on these planes, and round golden badges shone.

"Mingren!"

A Prussian holding a telescope screamed unexpectedly, saying that they were not unfamiliar with this sign. Over the years, they have been accepting the favors of this distant country. When the whole world abandoned them, only this country was helping them, especially in the most difficult four or five years, four or six years, countless Prussians supported it with their help.

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

After understanding the identity of these transport planes, there was a burst of cheers throughout West Berlin, and countless people waved their arms to the sky, expressing their excitement with all their strength.

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

But what is surprising is that these fighters did not attack, but flew into the transport fleet to prevent them from landing at Tempelhof Airport. The huge and bulky transport aircraft were not weak, and they were entangled with these agile fighters in the sky, and even saw them colliding together several times, causing screams on the ground to keep screaming.

It is obvious that Stalin was not ready to keep his promise well, but it is not ruled out that the Soviet Air Force stationed in East Germany did it themselves. After all, too many of their comrades died at the hands of the Ming army. It is normal to see this sign swaying above their heads and become more angry.

Of course this is just a trivial matter, and the Soviets were destined to bring shame on themselves.

Just as the Prussians on the ground were worried about their friends in the sky, someone suddenly screamed loudly: "Look over there!"

Well, countless transport aircraft with the same logo are flying out of the clouds, one, one, and twenty...

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

The dozens of Soviet fighter jets, as if they were submerged, disappeared from people's sight in an instant, and then all the transport planes flying over the city opened one by one, and a large number of square-packed cargoes hung on parachutes and threw them down.

The Prussians on the ground screamed excitedly as crazy, rushed to the falling points of parachutes, excitedly opened the packaging boxes with the dragon logo, and also screamed and took out the down jackets that many people had dreamed of, as well as various food cans, flour chocolates, and even milk powder, milk candy biscuits and various snacks. The originally gray West Berlin was instantly drowned by cheers, so many East Berliners looked here with envy.

The Soviet fighter jets in the sky retreated in shame, and then a large number of transport planes began to land at Tempelhof Airport.

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

At this time, the Ming army transport plane that completed the first batch of rescue materials transportation missions had taken off again from Tempelhof Airport.

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

The Supreme Court of the Ming Empire announced that in view of the Japanese government refusing to implement the previous judgment on the case of the Bank of the Ming Empire suing him for debts, it was decided to enforce it. The execution plan is very simple, and all Japanese merchant ships passing through the Malacca route, Java Sea, and Banda Sea routes are seized. All merchant ships that transport raw materials to Japan or transport goods from Japan through this sea area must be based on the value of the goods. An additional 5% special tax will be paid, otherwise it will not be released. It will be worth the Japanese government to execute the judgment, or the tax will reach the amount of military tickets to be exchanged in the Bank of the Ming Empire.

To safeguard this action, the Ming Empire Navy will build a new naval and air force base in Ambon with the agreement of the Netherlands Government and the Government of the Southern Maluku Autonomous Republic.

This enforcement is too ruthless. It is actually equivalent to squeezing Japan's neck. Because the entire route to the Indian Ocean was blocked. Japan wants to export goods in this direction, or import crude oil from the Middle East, cotton from India, or other industrial raw materials from Africa, all of them must pay a special tax of 5% of the goods to Yang Feng. Unless you bypass the entire Australia, there is no other way. The import and export volume in this direction accounts for more than 70% of Japan's import and export volume. Yang Feng directly stabbed Japan in the heart.

And there is no other way to solve this problem. Japan has no once huge and fearful joint fleet. They don’t even have the army. They don’t have the ability to speak for themselves with cannons, but they don’t have the ability to execute the judgment. It is equivalent to 50 billion latitude dollars in military tickets and 15,000 tons of gold. What do they give to the Bank of the Ming Empire?

By the way, many people were gloating at this time. Who made you, in order to plunder the wealth of Chinese people, seal military tickets were just like printing them? Now you are stunned?

If I had known how to print fewer points, I might have a way out now.

The only thing that the Japanese can do is to ask the Americans to come forward. After all, they are still in the US occupation. But as long as they are not fools, they know that the Americans will not care about this matter. Not only Yang Feng and the Americans are quasi-ally allies, but the most important thing is that the Americans make profits in this blockade. Because Japan can only turn to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, whether it is importing or exporting, especially importing crude oil, plus a special tax of 5% of the goods, the cost of crude oil transported from the Middle East to Japan is basically the same as the cost of crude oil transported from the Gulf Coast to Japan. What other choices can the Japanese have?

Similarly, the materials that Japan originally needed to purchase from this direction could only be purchased from the United States. It would be strange if American capitalists did not cheer!

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

But the problem is...

"Your oil?

Just sell all your oil to me. Shuntian Refinery is about to be put into production. The first phase is designed for refining capacity of 5 million tons, and the second phase project has 20 million tons. 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 quickly as possible. I guess I will start another refinery this year. As far as I know, the Chinese consortium in Temasek is also preparing to start a large refinery, and there is also a Sumatra. Please believe me, if you can't find enough large oil fields in the next ten years, I will come to find you."

Yang Feng said to a senior executive of Ying Petroleum with a smile.

The main impact of his blockade was these oil companies. It is okay for the US to buy. Anyway, they make money by selling oil from the United States and selling oil from the Middle East to Japan, but the impact of British capital is relatively large, especially English oil, or the current name English-Iranian oil. Scallops are a little better. Their crude oil is almost completely taken over by Yang Feng because of the close distance. Japan's purchase of crude oil is basically based on the production of the Sun's oil in Persia. Of course, the current situation in Japan is actually not much in a year.

The Sun came to the door mainly to take this opportunity to let Yang Feng buy more from them, otherwise they would be dissatisfied with just buying scallops. Now they felt relieved when they heard it. Yang Feng's oil refinery was included in the small amount of crude oil they sold to Japan.

"His Excellency the Head of State, are you interested in deepening your cooperation in the plastics industry?"

This guy named Roman said with a smile.

Yang Feng's plastic technology and synthetic fiber technology are closely watched by all oil companies. Polyethylene technology Bunemen Company has produced industrialized production, but their production process is high-pressure method, and the products are different from Yang Feng's, or far inferior to Yang Feng's. Polypropylene is not produced industrially at all in other countries because there is no catalyst, and there is no acrylic, but polyester is made in the laboratory, and the Americans are also building industrialized production, but Yang Feng has already started production.

Of course, what is more important is that even if it has been put into production, there is no share in the Sun. They are just a raw material supplier.

"Want to cooperate?"

Yang Feng looked at him with a smile and said.

"certainly."

Roman continued to smile.

"Yes, but first of all, I can only make polyester with you. I want to maintain the advantages of the others for a few years."

Yang Feng said.

The American Dakelun was officially launched in 1953. At this time, it is estimated that it is not far from building the production line. If you cooperate with the British, you can start production in as early as two years. This is equivalent to cutting a cross-cut in the American people. This feeling is quite good. Anyway, there are British people in front of them. Moreover, there were many defects in polyester in the early days, and it was not completely solved until the 1970s. After three or five years after he and the British put into production of polyester, they could change to a new process here, and they could still maintain their advantage for a while.

"no problem!"

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

"But there is another requirement, I have to have some extra benefits, otherwise I will lose a lot?"

Yang Feng continued.

"So you want to?"

Roman asked.
