1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After Li Erwa left, Lu Chen said to the sentry next to him:

"Go and call the commanders of these two companies for me. I have something to discuss with them."

After hearing Lu Chen's order, the sentry said "yes" and hurried out of the barracks.

Seeing that he was the only one left in the barracks, Lu Chen picked up the rocking chair that had been kicked over and lay down on it. You know what, lying on this rocking chair when you are tired is really comfortable.

After a while, the sentry led two men in military uniforms with blue sky and white sun emblems on their hats into the barracks. Seeing someone coming in, Lu Chen immediately sat up. Then he looked at the two people. Lu Chen found that he didn't know either of them. So he asked them to introduce themselves.

"Sir, my name is Wang Ze. I have been in the army for three years. I am from Yangcheng."

One of the tall and burly men saluted Lu Chen and introduced himself.

"Sir, my name is Wu Jie. I have been in the army for five years and am now the company commander of Commander Lu's guard."

At this time, another slightly shorter person said to Lu Chen.

Hearing that Wu Jie was actually the captain of his eldest brother's guard company, Lu Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his eldest brother would actually send his own guard company over. This made him a little entangled. If he dragged these people to the battlefield, if they were reimbursed, how would he explain to his eldest brother?

Lu Chen glanced at Wu Jie, and after thinking for a while, he decided to wait and see what Wu Jie and the others chose. Maybe Wu Jie and the others were not willing to go.

Lu Chen looked at the two and said, "My name is Lu Chen. You should have heard of me. Since you are willing to come here for training, you must want to improve your strength. But training is just training after all. It can only teach you some military skills. Only after actual combat can you master these skills."

After saying that, Lu Chen looked at the two of them and found that they were just looking at him and had nothing to say. Lu Chen was very upset. These two people were not sensible at all. I have said so much, but you two just don't know how to talk nonsense.

Lu Chen curled his lips and continued, "I have an opportunity for you to fight on the battlefield. I wonder if you are interested."

After saying that, Lu Chen looked at the two of them and waited for them to answer. The two looked at each other. Regarding Lu Chen's proposal, Wang Ze thought that we have experienced enough wars in the country. He didn't know how many times he had been to the gates of hell, and he felt that he no longer needed to go to the battlefield for training.

Besides, why should I work for other countries? My income is already very good now. As long as I return safely this time, I will definitely be valued by the commander. A promotion is a foregone conclusion. If I work hard, it is not impossible to be promoted several levels in a row.

Therefore, Wang Ze was not interested in the opportunity that Lu Chen mentioned. He said to Lu Chen:

"Thank you for taking care of us, sir. When I left, Commander Wu asked me to bring all the brothers back safely, so I can only appreciate your kindness, sir."

Wu Jie's idea was similar to Wang Ze's, but the difference was that before he came, Lu Jiaming had already told him that he had to listen to Lu Chen in everything. So although he didn't want to take the company to participate in the war, but since Lu Chen said so, he had to take the troops there.

So he didn't say anything, just looked at Lu Chen, waiting to see what Lu Chen would say next.

Wu Jie and the others refused to go to the actual battle, Lu Chen had already thought about it. But Lu Chen still didn't give up, so he said to the two of them:

"Don't refuse so quickly. I'm not asking you to go to the war for nothing. You should listen to the conditions I offer you before making a decision."

When Wu Jie heard that Lu Chen would give them some benefits, his eyes lit up. He had heard from his teacher that his brother was a rich man in the United States. He didn't know how much benefits Lu Chen would give them this time. So he decided to ask.

"That sir, I wonder what benefits you will give us."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "First, I will give you all new weapons. Then, each of you who participates in the war will receive $200 per month. If you die in battle, we will also give you a one-time pension of $5000. What do you think?"

Wang Ze was shocked when he heard about the treatment. Two hundred dollars a month, which is four hundred dollars a month in dollars, is dozens of times higher than what he gets in China. To be honest, Wang Ze was tempted. It is said that soldiers get food, and he joined the army to get more money. His monthly salary is only more than ten dollars. If he dies in battle, the pension may not be given to his family.

Lu Chen gave them so much money at once, but it was much better than the treatment in China. He thought about it and said:

"Sir, how is this salary settled?"

Lu Chen knew Wang Ze's worries. In China, it was common for the army to owe him wages. He asked this because he was afraid that he would also delay paying him. Lu Chen smiled and said:

"On the first day you go to the war, I will arrange for someone to give you fifty dollars in wages, and then I will give you fifty dollars every ten days. The rest of your wages will be settled at the end of the month. Don't worry, I will never default on your wages."

Wang Ze calculated in his mind that Lu Chen gave his men 200 yuan in salary. After he returned, he would give each of his men 50 yuan, and they would definitely be grateful. In this way, he would have 15,000 US dollars a month. After Wang Ze calculated this, he excitedly said to Lu Chen:

"Sir, on behalf of our company, I express our willingness to participate in actual combat."

Wu Jie was also surprised after hearing the price Lu Chen offered, but he had no intention of embezzling. First of all, Lu Chen was his division commander's younger brother, and he would definitely tell his division commander how much money he gave. His division commander hated people taking advantage of soldiers the most. If his division commander knew that he had embezzled military pay, he would probably be shot when he returned.

Secondly, the money Lu Chen gave was too much, and he was a little afraid to underestimate the greed. After Wang Ze finished speaking, he also said:

"Commander Lu, a company I brought with me is also willing to participate in actual combat."

Lu Chen looked at Wu Jie in surprise. He didn't expect that Wu Jie would know him and save him. He didn't remember meeting him before. Seeing that both of them were willing to join the battle, Lu Chen was very happy. He smiled and said:

"Since you are all willing, I will tell you where we are going this time. We are going to Persia to help a force teach the British a lesson."

Hearing that they were going to fight the British, Wang Ze hesitated. Britain was the world's most powerful country. If he went to fight them, wouldn't that be like going to die? Although Lu Chen gave him a lot of money, he still had to live to spend it. After thinking about it seriously, he said:

"Sir, I think we should not go. China has a good relationship with the British. If we go to fight the British, it will cause a diplomatic dispute."

When Lu Chen heard Wang Ze change his mind, he was immediately unhappy. Why did this person talk like a fart, saying he would not participate and then saying he would participate. He was a little dissatisfied with Wang Ze.

After hearing Wang Ze's answer, Lu Chen looked at Wu Jie.

"What about you? What do you think?"

Wu Jie was also worried about going to war with the British. He was also a little afraid of the British. There was nothing he could do. The shadow left by the British on the Chinese in modern times was too big. But he was a very trustworthy person. Since he had promised Lu Chen to go to the actual battle, he would definitely not take back his words just because the other party was British. He said bitterly:

"Sir, our company will participate in this battle."

Hearing Wu Jie's answer, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction. He said:

"Okay, then in two months, I will have someone take you to Riyadh."

After saying that, Lu Chen asked the two to go back and continue training. He then left the barracks and walked out of the camp.

Lu Chen felt that there was nothing interesting here, so he went to his factory to prepare some new weapons for his men. He would definitely not let his men go to the battlefield with bolt-action rifles to fight the British. He would not watch his elder brother's soldiers die in vain in this battle.

This time he went to the arsenal to make semi-automatic rifles. This way, the people who came to help Aziz this time would have stronger firepower than the British. Their ability to survive would also be greatly improved.
