The postwar world is full of opportunities. If Greece could produce so many shipping magnates in the wake of the war, as long as I seize the chance, I don't care about being called a shipping king.
What I truly desire is to ride the wave of Europe's recovery and obtain the ammunition for Borneo's development from Europe!
That's what Pierre really cares about.
Still, the shipping industry is definitely one of the most profitable sectors after the war.
Like the Greeks, one could use American loans to buy hundreds of Liberty ships—that part is quite simple.
But the real issue is the crew.
Especially captains and senior officers—this needs to be addressed quickly. You can't always rely on foreign crew. True, in postwar Germany, Italy, and even Japan, there are plenty of naval officers desperate for work; with a little money, you can hire captains and senior crew.
But when it comes to people, it's always more reassuring to use your own!
