v2 Chapter 523: Shipyard (2 in 1)

The reason why Henry sought the support of the founding of the nation, in addition to the consideration of obtaining allies, the most important point is that according to the relevant provisions of the "International Law", a legal country must have four necessary conditions: a certain territory, a permanent population, and A government has diplomatic relations with other sovereign countries.

Madagascar has territory and a resident population. As for the government, after Henry established the regime, it naturally has it, but now the only thing missing is a diplomatic relationship. With the support of the United Kingdom, then the country established by Henry is also legal.

There are two main ways to establish a modern state. One is the armed seizure of power. The so-called power comes out of the barrel of a gun. This is the truth. This is almost an immutable and indestructible truth; and the other is " "Independence referendum", the so-called independence referendum, is actually one of the referendums: that is, the citizens of a region can vote to decide whether to become an independent territory. For example, on September 18, 2014, the Scottish government held an independence referendum to allow Scottish voters to decide whether or not to become independent from the United Kingdom. The final result of the referendum was: 55% oppose independence and 45% support independence, and the United Kingdom will remain united.

With Henry's prestige in Madagascar, the possibility of holding a referendum on independence and establishing a new state power is very high. The method of the independence referendum is relatively mild and in line with popular sentiment. On the other hand, the independence referendum is a domestic affair of one's own country. If other countries want to find fault, there is no good excuse!

In fact, Henry's most fear is that the United States will intervene. Therefore, although he has now armed to seize the power of Madagascar, he will eventually hold an independence referendum!

...

Now that Henry has received the support of the British government, the investment he said before will naturally be fulfilled. In fact, Henry invested in the British shipbuilding industry for his own development of the shipbuilding industry in Madagascar. Henry's shipyard in the United States is too awesome. It is the only shipyard in the United States that can manufacture the world's top aircraft carriers. If Henry moves it to Madagascar, it is estimated that the United States will go crazy. Maybe he will drive the fleet over the next day. Well... Although the company can't move, it doesn't prevent Henry from secretly transferring technology and talents. As long as he has the skills and talents, Henry can establish a new shipyard in Madagascar at any time. However, considering the poor industrial level of Madagascar and the shortage of talents, Henry needs to acquire British shipyards to supplement his strength. As the saying goes, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the British ancestors have "exceeded" it anyway, and it is still the kind that is so powerful that it can dominate all over the world! Therefore, the technology, equipment and talents of British shipyards are still world-class.

Now that the world's top five largest shipyards are all Korean companies, Henry looked upset and decided to break this **** situation. Converging the shipbuilding technology of Britain and the United States, Henry did not believe that he could not catch up with Korea! ! !

The main purpose of developing a shipyard is of course to develop the navy.

In fact, since the Newport News Shipyard is Henry’s private property, except for weapons and equipment controlled by the United States, Henry will sell other weapons to whomever he wants, and the Ares Arms Company is the same. . Blackwater obtained many advanced weapons from the Newport News Shipyard and the Ares Arms Company. However, as a country, if it does not have a complete military-industrial system, once the channels for purchasing weapons are blocked, it will be powerless.

Such a country is equivalent to "water without a source, wood without a root". With the slightest push of others, the building will fall!

This is the case with India. The United States sells weapons to it and makes it accustomed to buying weapons from the United States, and has abandoned its own military system construction, making India more and more dependent on the United States, and even inseparable from the United States.

Generally speaking, when buying weapons from the outside world, they usually don't have a deep understanding of weapons. After a soldier gets a new weapon, he still has to figure out how to use it. Before getting familiar with the weapon, the combat effectiveness can be imagined, and it is definitely not good. And because there is no complete military system, the weapons cannot be repaired if they fail. It doesn't need to be a big deal, you can ask the United States for help to repair the fault. However, during the war, the weapon broke down. Do you have to say to the enemy on the opposite side, "Hey, let’s truce first. My weapon is broken. I need to call an American technician to repair it?!!!"

Saudi Arabia, the super rich country in the Middle East, is such a country. They never manufacture weapons. They buy all good weapons on the market. Their weapons warehouses are filled with all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment. The United States , British, Russian, Chinese, etc., are dazzling. It is said that a Saudi Arabian pilot owns three or four fighter jets, and he can drive them in rotation. They are too tyrants!

Saudi Arabia's military expenditure is more than that of Russia. Every year, 60 billion US dollars pile up the "local tyrants" army. The simple competition of weapons and equipment makes all European countries embarrassed. Therefore, Saudi Arabia claims to be "the world's third largest military power", second only to the United States and Lao Maozi (Russia).

The equipment is so awesome, the combat power must be "explosive"! ! !

Henry remembers that in 2015, Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni Houthi armed forces fought, and finally became famous in World War I, and proved himself with facts!

Saudi Arabia drove the super-advanced m1 American main battle tank, and the Husai armed forces were equivalent to millet plus rifles, but the result of the battle was that the m1 tank was captured by the Husai armed forces! You know, the Hussein armed forces are out-and-out militias, well, the elite Saudi troops with advanced weapons have been put on the ground by the opponents. What is even more shocking is that the Saudi army is even more armed than the Hussein armed forces. ! This combat power is simply getting worse, even if it is rationed to Saudi Arabia's Gundam, it is useless.

The Hussein armed forces posted their trophies on the Internet and said with a smile: "Haha, the world of big dogs, we don't understand!"

A netizen joked: "Saudi Arabia has joined the Kai-Shen Logistics Company. With a few more battles, the military forces armed by Husai will overtake North Korea!!!"

"No gun, no cannon, the enemy made it for us!!!"

Although Henry is also a local tyrant, he does not want Madagascar to become the second Saudi Arabia and become a laughing stock.

...

...

Henry promised that his first investment in the UK was to build offshore wind power plants. He has asked the British Energy Company under his name to handle this matter. The British Energy Company is one of the world's top 500 companies. It owns more than 90% of the UK's nuclear power plants and is the largest power company in the UK.

Regarding the investment in the shipyard, Henry has already identified a good acquisition target.

The primary goal is to win the Royal Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, England, which is capable of manufacturing aircraft carriers. When you hear this name, you know that this shipyard is extraordinary. It has a history of more than 500 years and has witnessed the ups and downs of the British shipbuilding industry. It is the most famous and technologically strong shipyard in the UK. It is a pity that such a powerful shipyard is now also facing the tragic fate of closing down.

Henry's vision for British shipyards was to catch all of them and bring together all British shipbuilding technologies. One is "Ferguson Shipyard", the famous and only merchant shipbuilding company in Scotland, the other is "Swan Hunt", a famous shipyard in Newcastle, England, and the other is "Harland" in Belfast, a shipbuilding town in Northern Ireland. With Wolfe Shipyard". Among them, Harland and Wolf Shipyards are also the shipyards that manufacture the "Titanic".

In addition to these four representative and powerful shipyards, Henry will continue to purchase, at least more than one hundred. With the current decline of British shipyards, the purchase of shipyards is almost at the price of cabbage. Henry's main purpose is to win the technical patents and talents of these shipyards, and of course the market.

This wave of Henry's acquisitions almost monopolized the British shipbuilding industry. If it were in the United States, it would have been stopped by the U.S. judicial department for antitrust reasons. But the British government has already given up on the shipbuilding industry. If Henry can develop the British shipbuilding industry, even if it is a monopoly. Therefore, the British government is very cooperative with Henry's acquisition. Prime Minister Spike Bob will go to Henry's residence every day to discuss the shipyard's problems.

Henry currently lives in Kensington Palace. Kensington Palace is the residence of the late Princess Diana. It belongs to the British royal family. After Henry and Princess Ulysses were married, Kensington Palace served as Yuli Princess Seth’s dowry was "married" together, so Kensington Palace already belonged to both Henry and Princess Ulysses. Compared to Henry's investment in the UK, a Kensington Palace is actually nothing...

The street outside Kensington Palace is called Kensington Palace Garden Street. This is one of the most expensive residential areas in the UK. Each villa is at least $19.5 million. People who can live here must be billionaires, as for millionaires. , Ha ha... only for the visit!

At this time, Kensington Palace welcomed a guest. In fact, it is not a guest, it should be Henry's former steel giant Lakshmi Mittal.

In the living room, Henry and him were drinking red wine and chatting.

"Lakshmi Mittal, I heard that you are planning to buy a villa on Garden Street in Kensington Palace?" Henry asked with a smile.

"En!" Lakshmi Mittal nodded, and stopped talking.

Henry looked at him and couldn't help but feel amused. Lakshmi Mittal saw a villa on the Garden Street of Kensington Palace, but the size and price of this villa were more expensive than Kensington Palace. , The price is 220 million US dollars! He couldn't help thinking in his heart, if he became neighbors with the big boss, and the villa size was bigger than the big boss's villa, what would that make the other person think?

With this scrupulousness, Lakshmi Mittal liked the villa very much, but chose to give it up.

Lakshmi Mittal’s current status is different. Although he worked for Henry at Williams Steel, he holds 5% of Williams Steel and has become a billionaire worthy of billions of dollars. The news that he was going to buy a mansion on the Garden Street of Kensington Palace became the headline of the London newspapers. After Henry saw the newspaper, he sent someone to understand a little bit. Therefore, he still had some understanding of this matter.

"I heard people say that you have fancy the'Kensington Palace Garden'?" Henry laughed, "'Kensington Palace Garden' is really good, if you like it, you can buy it! It happened when I came to London, England, we You can be a neighbor!" Henry released a kindness to him. For a right-hand man like Lakshmi Mittal, Henry is willing to draw more.

Lakshmi Mittal understood at that time that the boss knew that he had scruples, so he broke the scruples and let himself buy a villa. For a while, Lakshmi Mittal's heart was full of touch!

At this time, a servant came in, and then said to Henry: "Mr. Williams, British Prime Minister Spike Bob is visiting!"

"Oh, I see!"

Henry stood up, ready to meet Spike Bob. Lakshmi Mittal also got up from the chair and followed Henry.

After Spike Bob walked into Kensington Palace, he soon saw Henry and others approaching to greet him. He greeted Henry first, and then noticed that Lakshmi Mittal was standing behind Henry.

"You are the eo Lakshmi Mittal of Williams Steel Group!! Nice to meet you!" Spike Bob said with a little surprise.

Lakshmi Mittal nodded and said, "It's an honor to see you, Prime Minister Spike Bob!"

Henry smiled and said, "Haha, let's go, let's go to the living room and talk!"

When Spike Bob saw Lakshmi Mittal appearing here, he suddenly had a very strong intuition in his heart.

Something big will happen! ! !

With doubts, Spike Bob followed Henry into the living room.

After everyone was seated, Spike Bob looked at Lakshmi Mittal and said, "Mr. Lakshmi Mittal, I have to express my admiration to you that the Williams Steel Company actually swallowed an elephant and annexed it. U.S. Steel Corporation, the largest monopoly multinational company in the United States! Haha, after acquiring U.S. Steel Corporation, Williams Steel Corporation can already be regarded as a world-class steel giant!"

Lakshmi Mittal shook his head modestly and said: "In 2003, the steel price in the United States was low, legal costs were high, and the financial situation of the entire industry was very poor. The U.S. Steel Company suffered serious losses and entered bankruptcy protection. There were also several other companies. Steel is on the verge of bankruptcy. For this reason, the Williams Steel Group has the opportunity to swallow the elephant and swallow U.S. Steel in one bite!"

Spike Bob smiled and asked, "Lakshmi Mittal came to the UK this time~lightnovelpub.net~ Is there any big move by Williams Steel Group?" After that, Spike Bob glanced at Lakshmi Mittal, then turned to look at Henry.

"Prime Minister Spike Bob, you guessed it, it was a big move..." Henry laughed, "That was the acquisition of the European steel giant Arcelor!!!"

"Cough cough cough..."

When Spike Bob heard this, he choked abruptly. Arcelor is composed of three European steel giants and is the world's largest steel company, even stronger than Williams Steel.

Henry looked at Spike Bob and smiled and continued: "The shipbuilding industry needs a lot of steel, and Williams Steel has monopolized the steel industry to reduce costs so that we can open up the shipbuilding market! Prime Minister Spike Bob, Do you think so?"

"En..." Spike Bob nodded and said to his heart, this kind of gameplay really only can be done by a super-rich like you Henry Williams. The upper and lower industrial chains are monopolized. This is how other companies can live!

Henry laughed again at this time, "Hehe, in that case, let the British government help to match it up. You know, the EU's antitrust and other things are very troublesome..."

Spike Bob was speechless when he heard this. But considering that the stronger Henry is, the better it would be for Britain, so he nodded helplessly and agreed: "Okay, Britain still has some influence in the EU..."
