Therefore, although Blackwater International has only been established for two years, it has already gained the approval of the Pentagon, received a number of defense orders, and is developing rapidly.

To facilitate business communication, its headquarters were also moved to Virginia, which is close to the Pentagon.

Besides the Pentagon, Blackwater International has also gained some promotion in the private security business thanks to Continental Group's publicity efforts.

However, Blackwater International is not well-known internationally, so despite its name, it is not international at all.

In Josh's view, this battle in Java, Netherlands, was a great opportunity to advertise for Blackwater International.

Moreover, this does not conflict with what Josie had previously told the Dutch ambassador about hiring German prisoners of war to fight.

Is there a problem with Josie paying Blackwater International to hire German prisoners of war as soldiers, and Blackwater International hiring German prisoners of war at a lower cost?

no problem.

In this way, Josie only needed to bear the criticism of being an "accomplice of the colonists" and was able to get rid of the label of hiring war criminals to fight.

"Oh, boss, what a rare guest! I thought you'd forgotten about Blackwater International because your married life was so sweet." Aldo, the general manager of Blackwater International, answered the phone and teased Josie with a smile.

“No matter how sweet life is, we still need to earn money for baby formula, Aldo. I’ve brought you a big order,” Josie said bluntly.

"Oh? Who is the employer? What do they want?" Aldo was taken aback and then asked.

“I am the employer!” Josie said.

"Uh... Josie, I work myself to the bone every day, not for you to mess with me..." Aldo was speechless. The company was yours anyway, you could just give the order, why hire someone?

“No, Aldo, I’m not kidding you. I am now officially acting as the hereditary count appointed by the Royal Family of the Netherlands and the governor of Sulawesi, to hire Blackwater International, organize military forces, and eliminate the illegal government and armed forces in Dutch Java, so as to provide military protection for my and the Dutch Royal Family’s rule over the Java region,” Josie interrupted Aldo and explained.

Aldo was taken aback. Good heavens, you've got connections with the Dutch royal family? Wow!

As a private military services company, Aldo could not possibly be unaware of the war taking place in Java.

Moreover, although this war was not directly related to Blackwater, there is a lot of shipping traffic between the United States and Southeast Asia, and Blackwater International has provided security services for many related shipping companies and individuals.

Unexpectedly, Blackwater International actually had the opportunity to directly participate in this war.

“However, there’s a problem, Josie. If we want to get involved in this war, we probably don’t have enough employees right now. Of course, we could recruit veterans, but that would take a lot of time and the cost would far exceed our expectations!” Aldo said hesitantly.

Although the number of U.S. military veterans after the war was extremely large, with the disarmament basically completed, most of the returning U.S. military personnel have returned to their jobs in society. The United States after World War II was also in a period of rapid economic development, with per capita income growing rapidly.

In this context, the cost of getting retired U.S. soldiers back to the battlefield naturally increased dramatically.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. Blackwater International accepting my employment is just a formality. In fact, I've already prepared the real fighting force. There are still a lot of German prisoners of war in various European countries who can't go home. We can buy them from those countries for very little money. Even if those countries are unwilling, there are still millions of Germans who can't even get enough to eat!" Josie said nonchalantly after hearing Aldo's words.

As he said, apart from the German prisoners of war who were still being held captive and forced into hard labor by various countries, even the millions who had been released back to Germany were still on the verge of starvation.

Although the Cold War is considered to have started in 1947.

However, during this period, the two camps maintained a superficial peace, and the confrontation between them was not very serious.

In addition, the wounds of war had not yet healed, so East Germany and West Germany had not yet been established, and the whole of Germany was still in a stage of being frantically plundered by several victorious powers.

Therefore, life was very miserable for the Germans during this period. In the winter of 1946 alone, more than 100,000 people froze to death in Germany, mainly in the areas controlled by the British, French and Russian bears.

Because of the relationship between Austria and the United States, life in the American-occupied zone was not bad. Although they were still poor, at least they didn't starve or freeze to death.

This situation will not change until at least 49, when the two major camps support new governments in order to confront each other.

It is precisely for this reason that in recent years, a large number of Germans have tried to escape to Bavaria, a "paradise on earth" that has become part of Austria, through various means.

In such cases, if the person came from the US-occupied zone, Austria's approach would be to deport and obstruct them—after all, the two countries are currently in a very honeymoon period, and Austria does not want to offend the Americans over this matter.

Moreover, the Germans in the American-occupied territories only had a harder time, but at least they could survive.

Austria readily accepted workers from Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, as they were a perfect source of labor to fill its urgent labor shortage. With the various high-tech technologies provided by Josie, Austria's industrial and economic growth was even faster than that of the United States.

However, like in the United States, this situation has resulted in a labor shortage in Austria.

So if possible, Austria would actually be very happy to take in the Germans, well, preferably all of Germany's territory as well.

Germany and Austria are one family.

Unfortunately, even the United States, its closest ally, would never allow such a thing to happen.

Moreover, apart from the United States, the occupying powers maintained strict control over the border areas, so the number of people who were actually able to cross the border into Austria was not very large.

However, if Josie recruits combat personnel in the occupied territories of countries other than Russia under the names of Blackwater and the Netherlands, those countries probably wouldn't mind.

After all, the Netherlands has always been an important ally of Britain and France, and now it is also an object that the United States needs to win over.

Moreover, during a time when the tide of colonial independence was surging, Britain and France were very pleased to see the Netherlands stabilize the Java region.

So even without those prisoners of war, Josie could easily recruit a large number of cannon fodder from Germany during this period.

“That’s a good idea, but if the wages are too low, those Germans might not be willing to fight with all their might, right?” Aldo immediately understood what Josie was thinking when he heard Josie say that, but he still had some doubts.

This is also a mindset he developed after running his private military services company.

Those are mercenaries; ultimately, they're all in it for the money.

If the only requirement is to have enough to eat, then even prisoners of war are unlikely to fight desperately, which is different from simply doing hard labor.

“That’s easy. If I promise them that as long as they fight well, they and their families can become official citizens of Sulawesi, do you think they’ll fight tooth and nail?” Josie said with a smile.

This was something Josie had planned long ago.

The natives of Java are poor, lazy, and prone to causing trouble, and most of them adhere to the Green Sect. This is definitely detrimental to Josie's future rule over Sulawesi, and they are unlikely to accept Josie's rule.

Therefore, the best way to maintain long-term rule over this region is to find a way to replace the inhabitants of this land.

Of course, this is not because Josie wants to do anything inhumane.

The replacement method doesn't necessarily have to be killing; it can also be driving them away.

The Dutch had ulterior motives; once they won the war, they would drive all the natives into Dutch-controlled territory... Heh heh.

Moreover, besides the Dutch, there was also Malaya, which was still under British control, next to Java. With the situation in Java becoming unstable and the British power declining too quickly, the situation in Malaya was not very optimistic either.

In the original timeline, a few years after Java gained independence, Malaya also successfully broke free from British control and became independent.

At that time, Josie could follow the current model with the Netherlands and cooperate with Britain again, taking a big bite out of Malaya.

The world's eleventh largest island is far less attractive than the world's third largest island.

“I see, I understand. I’ll take my men and head to Europe tomorrow!” Aldo replied immediately.

“Don’t rush, Aldo. I can’t be too eager about this. I need to get the Dutch anxious. In fact, I have another suggestion. I don’t know if you’re interested,” Josie said.

"What suggestion?" Aldo asked, puzzled.

"Is your mother's tribe interested in moving to another place?" Josie asked.

Aldo was stunned upon hearing this.

"what do you mean?"

“It means exactly what it says. Although Sulawesi has volcanoes, the overall environment is still quite good, and resources are abundant. It can easily support tens of millions of people. As for the natives on this land, I don’t like them… You understand what I mean?” Josie said.

“I understand, but this is not a decision I can make. After all, it concerns the future of the entire tribe. I have to go back and ask my grandfather!” Aldo said seriously.

The two's conversation seemed somewhat inexplicable, but it was all based on Aldo's bloodline.

Aldo is not a pure white man; he is of mixed race.

However, he wasn't of mixed race; his father was white, and his mother was a Native American, specifically the daughter of a chief of a large Native American tribe.

Aldo's father, however, was someone he had never met—if he had the chance to meet that person, Aldo would be happy to give him a bullet.

No, it's not about delivering bullets, but about injecting a beast-transforming agent and then smashing that man into a pulp.

Aldo's birth was actually quite dishonorable, and even more so for his mother, it was a disgrace.

More than thirty years ago, Aldo's mother went hunting with two guards, but they encountered several white hunters.

As a result, Aldo's mother's guards were killed, and she herself was subjected to humiliation.

But in the end, those white hunters were not subjected to any punishment and were protected by the U.S. authorities.

This is the current living situation of the Native Americans, the indigenous people of North America.

Although Americans stopped the mass killing of Native Americans long ago.

However, the living conditions of Native Americans in the United States were, in many ways, even worse than those of Black people.

The so-called reservations were nominally meant to protect their living environment from destruction, but in reality, they were no different from concentration camps; they were restrictions on Native Americans—shackles that prevented them from integrating into the United States.

Even in the 21st century, Native Americans remain the ethnic group with the lowest levels of education and living standards among all ethnic groups in the United States.

While Black people are clamoring for racial equality, almost no one cares about this group that has always been marginalized in the United States.

They could only watch helplessly as the US government covered up everything, silently enduring all the unfair treatment.

Because they are powerless to change it.

Chapter 194 The Navajo

A dozen or so jeeps sped across the desert bordering Arizona and New Mexico, heading toward the Navajo Nation.

Meanwhile, on a flat-topped hill in the distance, an Indian ranger on lookout duty spotted the uninvited guests early on. With a slight shrug of his shoulder, the eagle on his shoulder took flight and cried out a warning.

However, some people in the jeep also spotted the eagles soaring in the sky, but they were not alarmed. Looking at the eagles, their eyes were even filled with nostalgia.

Because they were also Navajo Indians.

He left his hometown simply because he joined the U.S. military during World War II.
