Chapter 156 New Wool, New Realm (First update, please subscribe)
  If you want warship escort, there are nothing more than two choices, one is to rely on allies, the other is to rely on yourself.

Compared to the former, Li Yi'an, whose self-confidence is now soaring, prefers to rely on himself.

But where are the warships going to go?

How about doing some articles in the United States?
  Will the United States provide it with warships?
  This matter is really uncertain. After all, the American warships are also quite nervous.

"Otherwise, we can think of a solution with Santoku. Their fleet has been around for several years anyway."

Well, Santoku's navy has been active except for submarines. Most of the time, their surface ships have been bravely existing in the port.

However, a sudden visit soon interrupted Li Yian's thoughts.

"Mr. Pierre, is there anything I can do for you?"

The reason why Li Yian said this is because the guy in front of him is a French traitor on the "French traitor list" - the founder of the French Southwest Aviation Manufacturing Company. During the war, his company manufactured thousands of aircraft for Germany. .

France is now liquidating gangsters - those French people who cooperated with Germany during the war are all included in the liquidation.

If the person in front of him hadn't been of a high enough status, he would have been hanged by the underground resistance organization long ago.

What does France look like now?
  The whole people celebrated liberation - they forgot about the surrender, they forgot about working as laborers to serve the Germans, and only their resentment needed to be vented. Post-liberation France was full of "bloody reckonings." People frantically carried out various searches, tortures, detentions, insults, and beatings. This phenomenon happened all over France.

Tens of thousands of people who collaborated with the Germans were being beaten to death in the streets like wild dogs. Women who had affairs with Germans had their hair cut off in full view of the public. Many women were even stripped naked and paraded in the streets.

I have to say that French men are not good at fighting, but they are definitely experts at bullying their own women. As for the officials, they pretended to be deaf and dumb and turned a blind eye.

However, some "big legal traitors" still have to be brought to court. For example, Mr. Pierre in front of him needs to be brought to court. However, because the French government has not yet been formed, the court naturally has no legitimacy. Until now, he has not been jailed.

This is the funniest part of the French liquidation - many of the liquidated "French traitors" were landlords who provided houses to the German army and vendors who sold goods to the German army. However, the real "French traitors" are still at large, waiting for court investigation .

All I can say is, it’s really French.

"A million dollars!"

Pierre said directly.

"Mr. Li, for only one million US dollars, you can buy my company. My company did not suffer any losses during the bombing..."

Looking at Mr. Pierre in front of him, Li Yian was a little curious. Why did this guy come to his door?
  "Fiat!"

Pierre said directly.

"I know Mr. Li that you are very interested in manufacturing companies. I can sell my company to you for only $100 million."

Why did Pierre want to sell his company?
  Because he is a traitor,
  Not only do people have to go to court, but companies may also be nationalized. In fact, next year, French officials will use the excuse of cooperation with Germany during the war to nationalize a large number of companies. As for the entrepreneurs themselves, they are either in jail. Or he saw that the situation was not right and ran away in advance.

Pierre also wants to run away!
  But running away requires money!

He had money, but it was all in francs, and it was all in the bank, and the account had long been frozen.

Pierre knew that the company was about to be confiscated. After learning from Giovanni Agnelli of Fiat that someone was acquiring the company in Italy, Pierre immediately thought of selling the company. After a lot of trouble, he found out that Whoever the buyer was, came to the door in person.

"It's too risky."

Li Yian refused.

"France is not Italy. This 100 million will most likely be wasted. If the official does not recognize this transaction, who will bear my losses?"

Pierre said hurriedly:

"Probably not, France, France still has laws..."

"You go and talk to the farmers who dug their own holes before execution. They just sold a few sausages to the Germans."

Staring at Pierre, Li Yian really admired the French people's thinking. The farmers who sold sausages to the German army were French traitors and could be killed like wild dogs. But the capitalists who built airplanes for France were, well, French traitors. , but has to wait for a court trial.

"This this……"

Despite the cold weather, beads of sweat broke out on Pierre's forehead.

This was his last chance. If he couldn't sell it, he would have to flee France with some of his family's collections.

Looking at Pierre who was desperate, Li Yian raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"$10 million."

"What! You, you are robbing!" "Mr. Pierre, others wouldn't even pay a franc when they robbed you!"

The casual words made the other party sit on the chair powerlessly like a deflated rubber ball. Seeing this, Li Yian said again:

"Two trucks. When you leave, I will send two trucks over to help you move your house."

truck!

Allied trucks!
  Hearing this, Pierre's eyes lit up and he said quickly.

"For $10, the deal will be done at the price you said!"

Who doesn’t have some collectibles at home? Originally, Pierre was prepared to give up those collectibles, but now it’s different. With the help of Allied trucks, he can at least transport most of the collectibles!

Those collectibles are money too!
  Two days later, when Pierre's family left the estate on a US military truck, Li Yian arrived at the Southwest Aviation Manufacturing Company in Toulouse. As Pierre said, this factory did not suffer much damage during the war.

There were more than a dozen large six-engine transport planes parked on one side of the airport runway, Li Yian asked.

"What plane is that?"

Factory manager Belsis quickly introduced.

"Mr. Li, that is the Me323 transport aircraft we manufactured for Germany."

"Me323 transport aircraft?"

Amid Li Yian's surprise, Belsis introduced.

"This kind of transport aircraft is the largest transport aircraft in the German army. It has 6 engines, a top speed of 285 kilometers per hour, and a maximum payload of 10 tons. Because of its large load capacity, and the cargo door is at the nose and has a clamshell door, tanks and Large-caliber artillery can be driven directly into the cargo hold..."

Belsis's introduction made Li Yian's eyes light up. It can actually transport tanks, which is really good. This kind of aircraft is very suitable for transporting heavy weapons domestically!
  Thinking of this, Li Yian asked.

"How many of these aircraft do we have currently? Can they take off?"

"Eighteen are nearly completed and can be tested as soon as the engines are installed. In addition, there are 18 more under construction in the factory. In fact..."

Belsis hesitated for a while and said.

"The company has also cooperated with Zeppelin ZSO523 "Super Giant" before. "ZSO" is the combination of the initials of the two companies. It has a wingspan of 70 meters, a length of 40.25 meters, a fully equipped aircraft weight of more than 50 tons, and plans to carry 35 tons. Cargo. Powered by 6 Grom-Rhone 2100R engines with a power of 14 horsepower, a maximum speed of 3800 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 340 meters, and a cruising range of 310 kilometers at a speed of 2000 kilometers per hour. Before the German army retreated, we had We have completed the production of a wooden model of the same size. If we have the funds, we can complete the prototype manufacturing by June next year at the latest..."

Belsis looked at Li Yi'an expectantly. Since the German liberation forces in France withdrew, the factory has stopped production, and thousands of workers have been unemployed for several months. Of course, what he cares about is not the workers, but the management, who are on unpaid leave. It’s a hard time.

Whose family doesn’t wait for the rice to be put into the pot right now?

"It is definitely impossible to fully resume production. After all, the company has to consider profits."

After thinking about it, Li Yian said.

"We can recruit some technical personnel and key workers first, and continue to promote the "Super Giant" project."

Is the "Super Giant" with a load capacity of 35 tons useful?

Li Yi'an didn't know, but the technology that could be absorbed must be absorbed. In the future, there would be no Southwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company in France. Even if there were, it would be Borneo.

When leaving Tours, Li Yi'an was sent off by hundreds of French technicians and skilled technicians, not only because he gave them jobs, but even the salary was very high - 50 kilograms of flour per month , 10 kilograms of sugar, one kilogram of coffee, plus a camel cigarette!

Such a high salary is definitely one of the best in France today.

Although I don't know how many years such a high salary can last, but it takes one day at a time.

"Actually, there are still some opportunities in France..."

Although he said so, Li Yian did not continue to pick up this sheep. After all, he was not Mickey and others. Behind them were large consortiums such as Morgan. Those American consortiums would use the general's weapon to avoid rats, but he was not sure.

But it is still okay to eat a Southwest Airlines Manufacturing Company.

When harvesting wool, you need to pay attention to technique. If you harvest too much, something will definitely happen. It's fun today, but it might be off the list tomorrow.

Well, you have to treat sheep differently. Some sheep will be rounded up for a while and then collected when they are good. However, some sheep can be rounded up a few times...
