Chapter 958: South Vietnam is a little fat sheep (fourth update, please subscribe)

If you want to be rich, build roads first!

After saying these words, Li Yian said.

"Transportation is the prerequisite for the circulation of goods, and roads are the blood vessels of the economy. As long as the roads are built, the economy will naturally develop. In addition to highways and railways, there are also ports..."

In fact, when saying this, Li Yian almost said "have fewer children and plant more trees", but fortunately he stopped in time.

With his experience as the "president's spiritual mentor", Li Yian is very good at fooling people. Moreover, he has insights and economic common sense that are far ahead of this era.

Those economic common senses spoken out in this era are naturally very misleading.

That day, Li Yian was like a teacher, giving an economics lesson to Wu Dinh Nhu, the advisor to the South Vietnamese president and future head of the South Vietnamese secret police, from the repair and construction of railways to the construction of road networks, and then to the role of container terminals in promoting the economy.

Of course, they also talked about the connection between container terminals and foreign trade. In a word, he was absolutely unreserved when teaching students. After all, Li Yian knew very well which students would succeed and which would never succeed, and the student in front of him... would never succeed.

After all, next year, that is, next year, Dongda will make a promise to the North... to fully support them in unifying the country, and then, what awaits South Vietnam is a future they have never imagined.

"If you need it, Nanyang can provide you with a five-year credit loan to help you rebuild railways, build roads and ports to accelerate economic development."

Li Yian was very generous to his old friend. After all, this old friend could generate gold coins. Five years later, the aid provided by the Americans alone could fully repay the loan provided by Nanyang.

Now, before the United States provides comprehensive assistance, Nanyang can enter South Vietnam in advance, take advantage of its first-mover advantage, seize the market first through loans and other means, and then obtain as many orders as possible in South Vietnam's future large-scale infrastructure construction.

You know, in the next nearly 20 years, the aid provided by the United States to South Vietnam was also very huge.

5500 billion US dollars is just the military expenditure of the US military.

Several hundred billion dollars were also provided in direct aid to South Vietnam, a considerable portion of which was used for infrastructure construction.

Don't miss this opportunity to get gold coins.

Faced with his generosity, Wu Tingru became even more respectful and even took the initiative to speak.

"Sir, we have absolutely no experience in economic development. If possible, it would be great if Nanyang could send an economic advisor to help us with economic development planning."

"In principle, there is no problem. We Asian countries should watch over each other and help each other. On the issue of consultants, we can talk directly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Trade and Industry."

Li Yian said with great responsibility.

"There are many experts at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. They will definitely help you plan an economic development plan that suits you."

Of course, it is also suitable for Nanyang. Although the demise of South Vietnam in the future is inevitable, in the next ten years or so, it can still serve as an economic colony of Nanyang to some extent. No, it should be said that it can serve as a dumping ground for Nanyang's goods and a supplier of raw materials.

During the class, in addition to the issue of economic development, Li Yian also vaguely mentioned the religious issues in South Vietnam. As for whether the other party could accept it, that was not what Li Yian cared about.

After Wu Tingru left, he looked at the gift he brought - a jade artifact belonging to the royal family of Qianyuan Dynasty.

Looking at this exquisite jade artifact, Li Yian first nodded, then sighed helplessly.

"Pity……"

In fact, among all the presidents of South Vietnam, the most capable one was Ngo Dinh Diem. After Ngo Dinh Diem was shot, South Vietnam failed to establish a stable government. In the years after his death, there were many coups, and the last one who ruled for a long time was the corrupt Nguyen Van Thieu. The corrupt and infighting government, the vacillating policies, and the gradual reduction of military aid sowed the seeds for the final defeat.

"The Americans are so short-sighted!" Thinking of the military coup that the United States condoned to get rid of Ngo Dinh Diem, Li Yian could not help but sneer.

The reason why the Americans wanted to get rid of Ngo Dinh Diem was because he did not want to be a political vase and would not allow himself to be manipulated by the United States. He had his own will and political ideas.

His semi-Eastern feudal way of governing the country was also unacceptable to the United States. In the end, the United States supported the military to launch a coup and get rid of Ngo Dinh Diem, which ended up putting itself on the battlefield in Vietnam. As Ngo Dinh Diem said, "You can overthrow me, you can do it, but if you do so, American children will come here one day and they will die here."

In this regard, Wu Tingyan was very far-sighted. He clearly realized the price the Americans would pay if they gave up their support for him. However, the Americans are always so straightforward.

"Blind self-confidence is arrogance!"

With a slight smile on his face, Li Yian picked up the exquisitely crafted jade artifact and began to admire it carefully.

"Although it's a pity, the expansion of the Vietnam War is good for Southeast Asia!"

A $610 billion order, no one would not be jealous.

"Sacrifice one of you for the happiness of all of Nanyang. This is also for the economic development of Nanyang!"

After sighing like this, Li Yian personally placed the jade artifact on the bookshelf to remind everyone of South Vietnam’s contribution to the Nanyang economy. Although it is not yet there, in the near future, South Vietnam will become a golden baby.

"Well, let them have this sweet dream for two years!"

No matter what kind of vision South Vietnam has for the future, it will be shattered sooner or later. Before it is shattered, you can first get gold coins from them. When the level reaches a point where no gold coins can be obtained, you can get another wave of manpower.

"The key is the overseas Chinese, there are more than one million of them!"

Li Yian said softly.

"When the time comes, we will evacuate the overseas Chinese and settle them in Malaya and Mindanao, and change the population structure of the two places as much as possible."

In fact, as a person who grew up in a socialist atmosphere of survival of the fittest, in Li Yian's mind, there are only two types of so-called "friendly countries": one is the country that can be fleeced, and the other is the country that cannot be fleeced. The former is a friendly country, and the latter... is an ordinary country.

South Vietnam is a bit poor, but there are still many opportunities to make money, even if it is in terms of human resources, it is well worth it.

"If another million people immigrate, the population structure of Malaya will change fundamentally. Well, by then, the South Vietnamese who can speak Chinese can also be evacuated. If another two million people can be moved over, the Malays will no longer be a threat."

For Li Yian, who has been committed to building the "Nanyang Chinese Circle", what worries him most is the population composition of Malaya and Mindanao. Although the Malay population birth rate has indeed declined significantly through some scientific means, this has not fundamentally solved the problem.

"The key is the absolute advantage in numbers. With the injection of two million blood, it is almost 70% of the population!"

After taking a quick look at the population composition of Malaysia and Mindanao, Li Yian chuckled.

"According to this calculation, South Vietnam, which seems to have little meat, is also a fat sheep!"

With a sigh, Li Yian began to handle official business. Most of the official business was routine, but when he was flipping through the reports, one report caught his attention.

The report was provided by the Secret Intelligence Service.
The content is very simple - Nanyang Petroleum Company is planning an event, which seems to have a lot to do with Saudi Arabia.

“Subvert the Saudi regime?”

Looking at the report, Li Yian couldn't believe his eyes... Was this something the oil company did?
