Chapter 711 Railways and Canals! (First Update!)
Regarding the canal mentioned by Rheinsteel, Suetonno was happy from the bottom of his heart. He could guarantee that if he took the news back home, he would tell people in China.
Even those in China who have a favorable impression of Vietnam will agree to build the canal.
There is no other reason, because even if those people have a good impression of Vietnam, their goods will be charged when passing through Vietnam.
And those people turned to Vietnam only because Vietnam could give them benefits.
Directly opening the canal and directly using the canal to earn more benefits is relatively better than taking benefits from Vietnam.
Even when these people begin to make use of the profits earned from the canal, Vietnam may offer them more lucrative olive branches.
While excited, the smile on Sudunno's face quickly faded.
Vietnam will definitely stop this and hinder the construction of this canal.
Even on the railway from Cambodia to Laos, they will get involved and try every means to mess up the matter.
Licking his chapped lips with his tongue, Sudunno turned his eyes to Lin Yu. He remembered what this man did in Myanmar two days ago.
If this man is willing to help, then Vietnam will never dare to say anything.
Once the construction of the railway and canal starts, a general trend will form in Cambodia. No one can stop it and can only wait for the construction of the canal and railway to be completed.
Opposite him, Lin Yu kept his calm look after finishing speaking. Even if he noticed Sudunno's gaze, he just smiled and nodded again.
Then he continued to maintain that slight smile and sat there, motionless.
Next to him, Su Lin finally finished reading the document in his hand.
The conditions in the document were very different from what they had imagined. They were nothing more than the right to operate the railway and the use of minerals to offset the debt.
For them, the conditions are very favorable and it is worth cooperating.
They are different from Cambodia. Cambodia has a coastline, can engage in foreign trade, and can also engage in tourism.
But not so well in Laos.
It is a landlocked country.
To travel to Laos, you need to pass through the airspace of other countries first, or land in other countries first, and then enter Laos.
Such geographical conditions leave them with little bargaining power in foreign trade.
When seeking cooperation, there is no more say.
Now, China has given a very good cooperation project and good cooperation conditions. If you don't cooperate, you will be a fool.
We didn't cooperate much in the past because Big Brother didn't like talking outside.
Now that Big Brother likes to talk outside and express his attitude, then he should follow Big Brother.
Closing the document with both hands, Su Lin solemnly put the document aside and replied solemnly:
"Mr. Lin, we completely agree with the cooperation plan you proposed."
"If it's convenient for Mr. Lin, I think we should finalize the relevant cooperation agreement and relevant cooperation terms as soon as possible, and then start the project quickly."
"Complete the railway construction one day earlier, people in Laos and China can quickly exchange what they have, and more people can make more money."
"What do you think?"
Across the conference table, Lin Yu did not rush to respond, but instead turned his attention to Sudunno.
This time, Cambodia and Laos came together. It would be a waste of time if we only settled Laos and left Cambodia alone.
If you want to talk, let’s talk about these two together.
Then use these two as benchmarks to seduce Thailand and Malaysia.
To seduce Malaysia, Singapore is no problem. After all, Singapore also needs to drink from Malaysia.
In this way, the countries north of the Strait of Malacca, west of Vietnam, and on the Indochina Peninsula are all linked together.
As an integral part of Southeast Asia, with these countries speaking in it, people in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have to think carefully if they want to do something else.
Being stared at by Lin Yu, Sudunnuo licked his lips with his tongue again and asked Lin Yu:
"Mr. Lin, I think it will be easy for Laos and your railway construction."
"However, when it comes to the construction of the Cambodian railway and the canal, I think Vietnam will not be able to sit still and may even take action."
"I want to ask, do you have any solution?"
"Is there a solution?" A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth. Lin Yu tapped his right index finger lightly on the table, and his fingernails collided with the table, making a clicking sound.
It was very rhythmic, and every blow hit Sudunno's heart hard.
After a while, just when Sudunno couldn't wait any longer and was about to open his mouth to ask, the person opposite spoke:
"This matter is easy to handle. When we negotiate on the military side later, I will give you the specific configuration of the combined battalion. You can configure it yourself according to your needs."
"After selection, I will personally deliver the equipment to you, and then send personnel, professionals from Rhine International Defense, to train you."
"Train until you can fully master the equipment of the synthetic battalion and have sufficient combat effectiveness."
"This time can be three months, half a year, or three to five years."
"And when we build that canal, it won't take more than a year at most."
"If we start working at full capacity, it won't even take more than six months."
Several words blurted out from Lin Yu's mouth, and every time he said it, Sudunno was dumbfounded.
Especially when he finally learned that if construction was started at full capacity, the entire construction time of the nearly 200 kilometers of canal would not even exceed 6 months, he was immediately numb.
6 months!
It is already early April. If they move faster, they may have a 200-kilometer-long canal with a water depth of more than 5 meters that can navigate 3,000-ton cargo ships before December this year.
It's incredible.
But when he thought of this possibility, his little heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster, threatening to jump out of his chest.
Sudunno held his chest tightly with his right hand and began to take a deep breath at the same time, forcing his heart to slow down.
After a few minutes, he finally suppressed his beating heart, then looked at Lin Yu expectantly, and carefully asked for confirmation:
"Really? Mr. Lin, you won't lie to me, right?"
"I don't have time to lie to you!" Lin Yu shook his head calmly, and then started counting on his fingers:
"Compared to our domestic problems, the only problem you need to solve is to get your country to agree to build this canal."
"The rest is not difficult."
"You don't have a large population, so you won't have the demolition problems that China has. Those houses themselves are poor. If we coordinate well, we can help you build some houses and replace them with the local people."
"They should be very happy."
"Moreover, your country's laws basically have no requirements related to environmental protection, and there are no requirements for night construction. In other words, construction can be carried out 24 hours a day."
"For us, we have enough workers, we have enough machinery."
"We can work in three shifts 24 hours a day, without taking a break for people and equipment."
"And the water depth is only 5 meters. In addition, the area where the canal flows is basically a plain, and the maximum excavation depth will not exceed 10 meters. In addition, the lower reaches of the Mekong River impact the plains. The excavation depth of more than 10 meters is basically soil. layer, no difficulty.”
"Compared with our domestic canals, your canal has almost no difficulty. It's just child's play."
"The only difficulty is your relationship with Vietnam. Are you willing to break up with Vietnam and build this canal?"
In a few words, the ball was kicked back to Sudunno again.
He understood clearly what the person on the other side said.
Although the other party spoke in a relaxed and normal way, every word he said was important.
From another perspective, the other party is sincere and wants to help them build a canal. Otherwise, they would not understand the relevant information.
As for breaking up with Vietnam...
Sudunno stood up slowly, bowed deeply to the person opposite, and said:
"Mr. Lin, I need to report. I am only from the commerce department. I need the opinions of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of National Defense."
"If they think it's okay, then we don't mind breaking up with Vietnam."
"We've been charged for decades and it's time to make a decision."
Lin Yu looked at the man who spoke, nodded, and winked at Qian Duoduo next to him.
Qian Duoduo understood, turned around and walked towards Sudunno, leading him out of the conference room.
People in the venue watched him leave, and the meeting came to a standstill. People in the venue looked at each other casually and wrote and drew in their notebooks.
About 20 minutes later, the door to the conference room was pushed open. Qian Duoduo walked in front and held the door open, allowing Sudunno to walk in.
Different from when he left, Sudunno's face at this moment was filled with determination instead of the hesitation just now.
After returning to his seat and sitting down, taking a deep breath, Sudunno said eloquently:
"Mr. Lin, our king and prime minister have given the same opinion and agree with the canal plan you proposed."
"They also promised that as long as you can suppress Vietnam, you will not let the Vietnamese army enter Cambodia, or let the army press on the Cambodian border."
"Then they can guarantee that not a single voice in Cambodia will oppose the construction of this canal."
"As for foreign countries, those voices are of no use."
The voice was sonorous and powerful, and seemed very domineering.
Lin Yu listened to these words and said nothing more, because he knew that for a country like Cambodia to dare to say such domineering words, it was a desperate decision.
At the same time, he also gave a thumbs up to the King of Cambodia and the current Prime Minister.
These two are smart people.
Especially since the powerful Prime Minister was able to make such a bold decision in such a short period of time, it is no wonder that the other party's family was able to take root in Cambodia and gain power.
If others risk their lives to accompany a gentleman, then naturally he cannot lose his friend.
He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo immediately organized the documents beside him and sent them to Su Lin and Suduno Nuo.
While the two of them were flipping through the pages, Lin Yu continued to explain:
"These documents are related to the synthetic camp. You can choose the appropriate combination according to your own needs."
"After the selection is completed, we will proceed to the next step of signing the cooperation implementation document. After the cooperation implementation document is signed, we can announce it to the outside world, and then each can go about his or her own business."
"When you are ready, give me a call and I will come in and start building railways and canals."
"Help you train people."
Amid the gentle voice, Surin flipped open the documents in front of him, and what caught his eye were all kinds of light armored vehicles and tanks.
Rocket launchers, howitzers.
Missiles, anti-aircraft missiles.
Drones, destroyers.
His eyes could not be moved away when he saw the destroyer.
The shape of this ship is so beautiful, and the color is so beautiful, it is more beautiful than the skin of the most beautiful woman in the world. I think it is smoother than the skin of the most beautiful woman in the world if you touch it with your hands.
Ah——
He let out a long sigh, and then forced himself to move his eyes away from the missile destroyer, to the drone in front, and to the light armored vehicle in front.
Missile destroyers are something that only the strong can own. They have no sea in Laos, so they can't afford missile destroyers, let alone maintain them.
Let's take a look at the things in front.
After looking for a long time, Surin's eyes locked on those armored vehicles, tanks, and drones.
With a choice, he began to calculate the total price of these things.
Laos is very poor, and now it has to build a railway, so every penny must be spent on the blade.
It must not be wasted.
Just as he was desperately calculating the total price, Su Dunnuo picked up the picture of the missile destroyer and tremblingly said:
"Boss Lin, can't the price of this thing be cheaper?"
Lin Yu turned his head to find the voice, but found that Su Dunnuo's hand was on the 10,000-ton missile destroyer.
Looking at the other party's eager eyes, he scratched his butt and began to organize words in his mind.
After a long time, he finally said, "Mr. Su Dunnuo, you should look at the 6,000-ton missile destroyer, not this."
"To put it bluntly, you may not even have enough people to support this 10,000-ton missile destroyer."
"If you Cambodia really need ships, the 6,000-ton missile destroyer is enough."
"I'm an expert, listen to me!"
These words made Su Dunnuo look gloomy. He lowered his face and forced himself to move his eyes away from the 10,000-ton missile destroyer and move to the 6,000-ton missile destroyer at that time.
Looking at the tonnage and size gap between the two sides, he could only sit there and shook his head helplessly.
After a long time, he still grabbed the pen next to him and began to choose the synthetic combat battalion he needed according to the documents provided by Rheinsteel.
He had a clear goal, so he didn't waste too much time on the choice. In less than 5 minutes, he finished the choice.
Qian Duoduo took the two lists and handed them to Lin Yu.
To everyone's surprise, there were no missile destroyers in Su Dunnuo's list. Instead, the proportion of drones was higher than that of ground equipment.
Lin Yu simply scanned it and threw the list to the finance officer next to him, asking him to calculate the relevant expenses.
