Chapter 69 Leaving
Antalaha, Mayor’s Office.

"Mayor Ed, Captain Sean, you provided weapons and equipment to the natives and instigated them to attack the Meihua Company, causing a lot of losses to our company. For this, you need to give an explanation to the Meihua Company."

White yelled at the two men.

"Mr. White, these are all slanders by the indigenous people. We have nothing to do with them." Ed flatly denied.

"Everyone knows the facts. You must have known the fate of the indigenous people. Meihua Company will not pursue this incident any further. But Mr. Ed, there will not be a next time. Our cooperation will remain the same. We all have a bright future. Otherwise, the consequences next time will not be what you want to see. That's all I have to say. Be careful."

After White finished speaking, he glanced at the two of them and left. His mission this time was completed.

Ed and Sean looked at each other, their eyes full of fear. The current Meihua Company was not something they could contend with, so they both planned to lie low and take the bribes from Meihua Company to enjoy themselves.

Damn it, I love France. They have done the best for their country. Their own interests are the most important. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Time passed quickly. During this month, Zhang Feng spent most of his time training the Dragon Warrior Commando.

Special operations training refers to the training of special means and methods carried out by special forces or troops or units temporarily assigned special tasks to achieve specific combat objectives, including physical training, professional skills training, field survival training and tactical training.

Physical training mainly includes martial arts boxing, wrestling, swimming, mountaineering, obstacle crossing, weight-bearing marching and other training.

Professional skills training mainly includes combat, blasting, capturing prisoners, climbing, diving, cliff diving, as well as training in the operation and use of major weapons, reconnaissance and orientation, the operation and use of command and communication equipment, and driving of various combat vehicles.

Field survival training mainly includes adaptability training to complex natural environments, survival training, self-rescue and mutual rescue training, etc.

Tactical training mainly includes training in combat operations such as attacks, ambushes, and manhunts, guerrilla warfare, sabotage warfare, psychological warfare, as well as special reconnaissance-related training in battlefield surveillance, target search, target guidance, and effect evaluation.

Zhang Feng mainly provided ideas, and several Chinese and white instructors worked together to improve the special training manual. It was definitely impossible to train these illiterate soldiers to be very powerful in a short period of time, except for a few particularly talented ones.

However, after several months of training, they were able to deal with these still primitive indigenous soldiers. Although they had strong innate jungle hunting abilities, they were generally no match for the professional special forces.

Zhang Feng attaches great importance to the Dragon Warrior Commando, but Zhang Feng has been in Madagascar for more than three months, and it is not far from 3. It is time to go back.

After completing the training plan, Zhang Feng appointed himself as the chief instructor of the Dragon Warrior Commando. He trained with the Dragon Warrior Commandos once, and after declaring his sovereignty, he no longer managed them. He arranged for a Chinese and a white person to serve as deputy chief instructors to be in charge of subsequent training tasks.

Afterwards, he established an army school, which was very small in scale. It was mainly used to provide military training for officers of the current nearly 2 troops. These officers were ordinary soldiers before, and now they need to improve their military literacy through on-the-job training, just like Li Yunlong.

In addition, outstanding soldiers will be selected to attend military academy training, and more soldiers will be trained to become officers. When needed, troops can be recruited in a short period of time.

It is not suitable at the current stage, and there is no money to support too many soldiers. With a population of 100 million and an army of hundreds of thousands, the end of excessive military spending is that everyone will starve to death in the end.

At the current stage, we should focus on the construction and development of industry and agriculture. It is enough to have the ability to protect ourselves. There are still many guns in the civilian population. Everyone has undergone militia training. In times of crisis, everyone will become a soldier.

Moreover, it is impossible to launch all projects at once. It is unrealistic to strive for big and complete projects. In the end, the result will be having everything but nothing. Zhang Feng is aware of the consequences of the Great Leap Forward, so he still has to proceed step by step.

Zhangjiacheng, Meihua Company headquarters building, in the conference room.

"I'm about to set off back to America. I visited the Chinese American Institute of Science and Technology before, and saw that there are still many outstanding Chinese students. This time I plan to bring them to America to study in middle school and university. Wan Ting, please notify them to prepare." Zhang Feng said to Lei Wanting.

"Okay, boss, I'll make the arrangements." Lei Wanting said. "After the Dragon Warrior Commando has been trained and experienced actual combat, we'll also arrange for a few good fighters to go to America, and then I'll leave this to you."

Zhang Feng said finally.

"Yes, boss. We will definitely run the company well and live up to your trust." The executives expressed their opinions one after another.

Before leaving, Zhang Feng also authorized Maple Leaf Investments to operate all financial businesses in Madagascar and invest in factories owned by the Meihua Company, and the military and administrative management were also to be involved.

Although there may be some adverse effects, we must first stabilize the country before we can fight against foreign enemies. The only power is what we can control. Otherwise, we should just let it be destroyed.

After two years of construction, the Meihua Company has barely laid a solid foundation and is about to enter the fast lane of development. Zhang Feng will invest more funds in the future, and the number of immigrants will increase rapidly. With the arrival of German talents, the influence of the Meihua Company will increase day by day.

Most of Zhang Feng's investment will be in the name of Maple Leaf Investment Company. It is not appropriate to continue to borrow money because the debt of Meihua Company is too high, and it is impossible for Zhang Feng to stay here for a long time in the next ten years, so someone is still needed to check and balance it to prevent one company from dominating the market.

Now with the polling office secretly monitoring him, Zhang Feng felt that it was almost foolproof.

Now Zhang Feng’s companies are roughly divided into three groups.

One is naturally the Meihua Group. Its current main business is operating a territory in Madagascar, which is almost equivalent to a small country. It is the company with the widest range of businesses. In the future, wherever this company opens, it will represent the control of the Zhang Feng family.

One is the Maple Leaf Group, whose main business is currently in the financial industry. It has Maple Leaf Investments and Maple Leaf Bank under its umbrella, and will subsequently involve insurance, securities, etc. Of course, this depends on the speed of Madagascar's development. This group will develop into a financial capital group, or the so-called consortium.

In fact, chaebol and conglomerate are both general terms for financial capital groups. The difference between the two lies mainly in their composition and scope of control.

Chaebols are generally composed of multiple groups. They are monopoly capital groups formed by the same clan and close relatives under the control of the same financial oligarchy. Conglomerates usually refer to a single group, which is a monopoly group controlled by a very small number of financial oligarchs. These oligarchs may be composed of one or more families. Chaebols focus more on family and kinship, while conglomerates are more like a single powerful financial group.

Both chaebols and conglomerates are involved in financial industries such as banking, insurance, and securities, but their scope of control is not exactly the same. Since chaebols are composed of multiple groups, their scope of control may be wider and can penetrate more industries. Although conglomerates are powerful, their scope of control may be relatively concentrated in certain specific areas.

However, this distinction is not absolute, because with the development of financial capital, the control scope of the consortium is constantly expanding, and in the end there is almost no difference between the two.

Both chaebols and consortiums are manifestations of financial capital groups, and they differ in composition and scope of control. These differences reflect the diversity and complexity of financial capital in different historical, cultural and economic contexts.

They are all monopoly groups formed by the combination of huge banks and huge enterprises controlled by a very small number of financial oligarchs, also known as financial capital groups. Generally, they include a few large banks, insurance companies, and a large number of industrial and mining enterprises, commercial enterprises, and transportation enterprises. They operate in various economic sectors through the participation system, and have expanded to various fields such as culture, education, science, health, publishing, and government agencies and other superstructure departments.

Zaibatsu is a general term for Japan's financial capital groups before World War II. In Japan, since financial capital groups are linked to strong feudal family relations, people are accustomed to calling Japan's financial capital groups zaibatsu.

After all, there is no essential difference between chaebols and conglomerates. In the end, they are the same, except that chaebols tend to be controlled by a family.

The other is the Phoenix Group, which includes American companies such as Shennong Bio-Pharmaceuticals, KFC, Paramount, Shipyard, and Langsha Stockings. This group is currently the source of Zhang Feng’s funds.

These three groups, which have already taken shape, will be the foundation of the Zhang family in the future. They will make money through external investments and control every aspect of everyone's life internally, becoming the uncrowned king.

A week later, Zhang Feng and his family, along with 12 overseas students who had gone to the United States, boarded a cargo ship that had purchased goods from the Far East and set out on their journey back to the United States.
