At this time, the climate of the free trade zone has already formed.

The busy wharves handle huge quantities of goods, and the large plantations are lined with factories...

"That's the Ford factory, is it making something?" Melo asked, pointing into the distance.

Semyon, who came to pick them up, said: "That's the tank production area, and then the aircraft production area." Charles divided his rule into industry, agriculture and trade, and living quarters... ”

Merlot and the others walked quickly along the concrete road.

Walking through those areas, they finally saw a new type of city that was expanding and improving.

Everyone is engaged in management, and they understand the importance of layout for a city.

They saw the shadow of the Shanghai model in the city's meticulous measures such as drainage, sanitation and electricity.

However, the city is different from Shanghai.

For example, they are equipped with wind and hydroelectric power systems provided by the Rockefeller consortium, and the city's roads have been widened twice the size of Shanghai's roads, with traffic and pedestrian areas separated on both sides.

There are even Indian traffic police, traffic lights, zebra crossings on the streets.

At present, the city has only been partially built, and the end is beginning to be deserted, but judging from the scope of the expanding sewer project, the scope of the city should be two times the size of Shanghai.

Han Huaiyi was waiting for them in front of a brand-new three-story spacious building.

The building reads: Joint Free Trade Zone Management Committee Preparatory Committee

"Long time no see, Charlie." Melo took the lead in giving Han Huaiyi a hug, and he said happily: "It's too prosperous, different from the prosperity of Shanghai, the prosperity here seems to be more down-to-earth." ”

"That's because there is a mature industrial and commercial system here, and Shanghai is absorbing the blood of the whole Far East."

After Han Huaiyi greeted him, he hugged Mamoje Liszt one by one.

There is a restaurant next to it, so those who are tired from the journey can simply eat and rest.

The next day, on the morning of June 1.

After everyone was refreshed, a group of people from the Shanghai Brotherhood officially gathered together.

"We've been apart for too long, but now it's time for us to join forces again." Han Huaiyi said with a smile.

Merlot served him and Fevoli coffee as she had done back then.

Mamoyer said, "Charlie, your army is too strong, I can see it, and to be honest, your police force is enough to shock the world." ”

As they spoke, the armed Chinese police were on guard outside the door, and in the distance was the White Russian Guards under Semyon's command dragging some equipment to the barracks 2 kilometers away.

It was also noted that Indian patrolmen roamed the streets on horseback.

These young men of all races wore uniform camouflage short sleeves, and the guns at their waists and their eyes made any criminal fear.

Han Huaiyi smiled: "This is the cornerstone of our foothold here, so we must be strong." ”

Then he formally explained the current situation and prospects of the free trade zone.

Cosmage, military factories, plantation trade systems, new city construction to gather people to cultivate the middle class, seaside resorts to attract wealthy merchants from the periphery...

After all this, Han Huaiyi said: "But I have a headache, because the people here have less experience in governance, and the whole city is now under military control, which will obviously curb the development of commerce and make outsiders fearful." ”

"So I convened you to discuss, and I hope you can come over and use your mature experience to help me sort out the development of this large free trade zone."

"To be honest, Ford and I were too tired. I need you. ”

"I envisage that the management committee will set up joint seats and be divided into various departments like the Shanghai municipal government, such as health and epidemic prevention, finance, public facilities, police stations, military, and so on. Let's be clear, we have to occupy such a seat and hold the power firmly in our own hands. ”

"And what about Shanghai?" Merlot asked the same question as Semyon.

"Give it to the henchmen you have cultivated, and let him work closely with Du Yuesheng, but we also need to retain control of the United Mint to form a joint posture with the mint in the free trade zone, and you can arrange these candidates."

He drew the line, and Melo understood.

Melo, who is almost 40 this year, said: "I'll go back again, and I'll probably come later, because I have to get the successor in Shanghai right." ”

"No, you still have one more thing." Han Huaiyi said suddenly.

And insiders he no longer concealed his superficial attempts.

He said: "Merlot, Fivoli, you all have to mobilize your relations in France to do one thing, do you see our territory?" ”

He pointed to the Amazon of Pará and Panama.

Then he pointed to Guyaya: "This is French territory, and I want our people to be the masters of this place." In this way, our territory will be completely connected! The important thing is that the French territories are nominally foreign, which means that if there is any trouble, we have multiple safe ways out. ”

After hearing this, Melo couldn't help but praise: "No wonder you chose here, I understand, Mr. Fevoli and I will implement this matter as soon as possible." ”

"The conditions can be sufficient, and they can even be exchanged for Shanghai's interests."

"Okay. If that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

That is, Han Huaiyi can make Melot, who has become a climate, give up a prosperous place like Shanghai and run away from the South American jungle where birds don't seem to.

This kind of cohesion, which has been formed through years of trust, is incomprehensible to outsiders.

As Han Huaiyi analyzed, French Guiana, the Autonomous State of Brazil, the Union of Indians, and the Panama Canal are all powerful when they are combined.

A canal would have brought the silver coins of New Rome to the world.

Even if the right to issue is given up for some reason, in just twenty or thirty years, it will bring terrible wealth to New Rome.

After discussing the above, Han Huaiyi turned his head to look at Semyon Liszt and Mamoyer: "The navy, land and air force, the armed police force, and the military intelligence system must be established as soon as possible, because the wealth we are about to have is the eyes of a huge rich man like Rockefeller, and if there is no matching force to protect us, we will all become fish belly." ”

"But." He smiled and said, "If we have money in our left hand and a knife in our right hand, then we can participate in the ranks of the game-makers in this world, so that our family will last for a hundred years." ”

Han Huaiyi's mobilization of Far Eastern forces into the autonomous prefecture cannot be concealed from those who have a heart.

But none of the smart people have a say anything about it.

Because in everyone's default unspoken rule, this is his territory.

And when Han Huaiyi finalized the list of the ruling class in the free trade zone, the Spanish forces in Argentina finally discovered the secret of the Silver Dollar Quadripartite Alliance, and these goods immediately sent people to the United States to lobby, and at the same time sent people from the trade zone to find Han Huaiyi.
