Several guests came to Basong's home.

As the Prime Minister, those who can visit his house at night are either a staff member or a confidant, especially under the current situation.

The servants were all retreated, and several people in the living room sat with Basong as the center, but from everyone's faces, everyone was in a heavy mood.

One of them was a black-faced man who could still feel his strong military aura, even though he was wearing casual clothes. He was about fifty years old. He was the commander of the only armored division in the Royal Thai Army, General Taisang.

Basong is a man with a beer belly and is not tall. The greatest confidence that he can sit a little bit at ease is that Taisang is on his side. With the support of the armored division, he, as the prime minister, can maintain his current situation in the face of the current opposition criticism.

However, the situation is still not optimistic.

Today, several confidant ministers and staff gathered here to discuss how to deal with the next step.

The current situation in Bangkok has seriously affected the number of passengers. The person who spoke is the Director of the National Tourism Administration. As a developed country in tourism, the position of the Director of the National Tourism Administration in Thailand is proportional. He said that the passenger flow at Bangkok Airport decreased by one-fifth last month and continued to decrease. Several countries have issued travel warnings. If this situation continues, it will become another reason for the opposition to attack us.

Basong had no choice but to keep marching and demonstrating foreign tourists. But this situation is not possible now. If their people marched on the streets and we will sooner or later lose our supporters.

I fell silent again, but there was really no better way to face this situation.

It is necessary to divert the attention of the people, and it is best to promote economic development. Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, it can be put out to relieve people's emotions and fight back against the opposition. Basong said slowly.

At this moment, the Minister of Industry suddenly said, I heard some news.

Everyone's eyes turned to him. He said that a company came from China and they seemed to be in contact with the Ministry of Commerce and wanted to restart the Kara Canal project.

Everyone was shocked, and Basong widened his eyes in surprise. The Kra Canal Project

He could not help but be surprised. The Kra Canal project has always been the most perfect economic engine in the hearts of Thais, but it is also an economic attentiveness that has not been obtained frequently. Many prime ministers have not been able to accomplish this. Not to mention other things, as long as this project is thrown out, it can solve all the current trust crisis of the authorities like an atomic bomb. It does not even need to go to the substantive stage.

Of course, if it is really done, then Tabasong will be a wise ruler who has been recorded in history and is respected and loved by the people of the whole country for generations. Re-election will be no problem.

Yes. But they have just started to contact the Ministry of Commerce, and it is a low-level contact. The Minister of Industry said that we don’t know more about the situation. You know, the Ministry of Commerce is not in our hands.

At this time, General Taisang, who had not spoken, suddenly said that Fankenyou International Investment Company has a very background in China, and its parent company is the newly-rise group gun group construction group. The company's headquarters is in Nangang and has strong strength.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Basong asked, General Taisang, what else do you know

I also know that the Japanese also wanted to restart the Kara Canal project. The Hard Silver Company appeared, but in fact the real role was Sumitomo Group. Taisan said with a blank expression that as far as I know, the Chinese and Japanese sent survey teams to survey the Kara Isthmus on the spot.

Basong's mood suddenly became worse again, because Japan had a Sumitomo Group, and China's role was not a simple role. This was a dilemma. However, he quickly felt relieved that whether to repair the Kara Canal or not is in his own hands.

What do you think Basong had an idea in his mind and asked.

Actively promoting the Kra Canal project is an excellent counterattack and the best way to restore people's confidence and trust. The Minister of Industry said flatly.

Others also agreed.

The atmosphere became a little relaxed, not as depressed as before, but soon everyone calmed down. Basong pondered and said that the opposition must have known the news, and they will definitely try their best to stop us and even seize the dominance of the project.

He looked at Taisang and said, the Special Forces Division's attitude of guessing General Ba is ambiguous, and we cannot be sure whether he has turned to the opposition.

Taisang didn't speak, just remained silent.

Everyone knew in their hearts that in the final analysis, nothing could be done without the support of the army. The Thai team belonged to the royal family in name, but everyone knew which side the commanders of each unit were from. And the attitude of guessing the world was an important factor that made Basong feel at ease.

The Special Forces Division is stationed outside Bangkok, and it is the most elite department of the Thai team. If it cannot be controlled by itself, Basong will definitely be like a thorn in his throat.

Taisang's silence made Basong helpless. Taisang was already showing that he had no choice but to use Kaba, even if his troops were the only army unit equipped with tanks and armored vehicles.

In any case, you are the head of government, any commercial investment activities must be approved by you, otherwise it will not take effect. The Minister of Industry said at this time, I suggest that I take the initiative to contact the two companies and contact them separately. Our Ministry of Industry will take the lead in doing this.

Basong nodded slowly, and no one else had any objections. The Ministry of Commerce was not in their hands, so it could only let the Ministry of Industry stand out. Strictly, the Kra Canal project can also be classified as within the scope of the Ministry of Industry's work.

Pointing to the Minister of Industry, Basong said: I only have one requirement for you to be responsible for this matter, so it should be fast. The situation in the parliament is becoming less and less optimistic, and we don’t have much time left.

The Minister of Industry nodded and said, I will start doing this tomorrow.

At this time, Ba Song frowned again and said, "One reason for the opposition to attack us is that we have increased our military expenditure this year. Among them, we need to buy a frigate from China, and they are still arrested."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taisang said that there was no problem with military expenditure. The amount of warships to be paid this year was determined a year ago. With the support of the royal family, there was no reason for the opposition to open fire on this point, and no one in the military would support them.

However, the public has a very strong opinion, and the opposition followed the trend, which put a lot of pressure on me. The Minister of Finance said in a deep voice that the pressure on the downward economy continued to increase this year, and military expenditures did not decrease but increased. The opposition actually cleverly avoided the purchase of warships, but accused us of unreasonably increasing military expenditures.

But Basong looked at Taisang and said, But what makes me wonder is that the most popular guessing tycoon in military expenditures is why he remains silent at this time.

Everyone looked at Taisang because everyone knew that Guessan was one of the commanders of all the troops who strongly demanded the increase in military expenditure every year, and his attitude was very tough. But at this time, he remained silent. Although the navy benefited from the purchase of warships, everyone understood the principle of losing their lips and cold teeth. Today, they could reduce the navy's expenses and tomorrow they would cut off their army's equipment update plan.

The ability of special forces to burn money is actually no worse than other technical troops.

Taisang didn't know what to say. His armored troops were also a money-burning unit, and the annual expenses were more than three times that of Guyba's special forces. He could only nod slowly and said that Guyba's attitude was indeed strange, but I was not very clear about the situation on his side. It took some time to investigate.

Nodding, Basong added his forehead with his hand, patted his forehead, and said, the Kra Canal is not that easy to dig.

The topic turned back to the Kra Canal. His staff and ministers knew that when Basong was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, he participated in the Kra Canal negotiations that year. It can be said that Basong is a person who has experienced the grievances of the Kra Canal that he had personally experienced.

However, due to the great pressure from the United States and Singapore, Chinese-funded companies withdrew from the preparatory group. The most likely successful Kara Canal in history has been put on hold indefinitely and has been in name only. Over the years, there have been constant news that a certain Chinese-funded company will sponsor the Kara Canal project. In fact, it is just a media catching up and attracting the attention of audiences and readers.

Over time, everyone has become numb about this project. Basong is also worried that this time will be a repeat of history.

Deep in his heart, he still hoped to promote the excavation of this canal. It was undoubtedly a great achievement with immeasurable merits.

The name of Fankenyou International Investment Company in the Gun Group Construction Group is the Kra Canal Project Company. Perhaps seeing Basong’s concerns, the Minister of Industry said that the only purpose of this company’s existence is the Kra Canal. So their determination is very great. And the more important thing is that they are private companies and do not have any official colors. I have a little investigation and found that the Gun Group Construction Group has very few overseas businesses. From this, it can be inferred that they may not be afraid of the pressure exerted by the United States and Singapore.

Oh, the private enterprise Basong was stunned for a moment, quite surprised, the second one was Changjiang Industrial

Everyone knows that he refers to the acquisition of the management rights of the Panama Canal more than ten years ago. At that time, some media were exclaiming that the Chinese had pinched the Americans' neck. In fact, it was just an ordinary business act. The media wrote nonsense for sales.

As soon as possible, I will give me a detailed information about Fankenyou International Investment Company. Basong said that the Japanese should also investigate clearly. In short, we have to select the most suitable partner from them.
Chapter completed!
