Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Carter was also attracted by this beautiful vision and his attitude softened a lot!

"Hu, you always have brilliant ideas!"

Hu Zhenhua continued without any modesty,

"We are allies and share common interests. A and B may be brothers, but even brothers can have a falling out! If C extends a hand of friendship when they're at odds, hehe!"

Morris frowned again and asked,

"Is it possible they'll have a falling out?"

Hu Zhenhua burst into laughter, and after a long while, he said,

"There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests. If you look back at the history of polar bears, you'll find that they have been expanding since they established their country, even after they adopted socialism!"

The great leader once said that polar bears are social imperialism.

In other words, polar bears are imperialism disguised as socialism.

Since it is imperialism, it must expand outward!

Carter pondered for a moment and asked,

"You mean, polar bears will invade Chinese territory?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, no. The polar bear is the leader of the communist world. If he invades the territory of a country in the same camp, he will lose his righteousness. Who will trust him in the future?"

Carter was confused. Before he could ask, Old Hu explained, "What if the polar bears want special privileges? For example, they desperately want a port, but the Red Navy is weak. If the polar bears ask to lease a port, what do you think will happen?"

Morris blurted out,

"Of course I agree!"

It is common for the same camp to lease ports. For example, the United States has military bases throughout its allies.

Hu Zhenhua turned his gaze to Carter.

"What do you think, Mr. Consul?"

Carter obviously agreed with Morris, but as a politician, he would not express his opinion easily, so he replied,

"Hu, you must have a different interpretation, right?"

Hu Zhenhua laughed, he already understood the true thoughts of these two white devils!

It’s no wonder, because their land has not been invaded, so they cannot understand the pain felt by the Chinese people!

"Mr. Carter, I can tell you the answer. The Chinese Communist Party will definitely not agree! This involves China's history. I'm sure you know that the concessions disappeared less than ten years ago in China. It was a humiliating period of history."

Hu Zhenhua paused and continued,

"The leader of the Red faction was a resolute, wise, and fearless military strategist, politician, and poet. He was also a nationalist. Although he served in the opposing camp, I personally admired him immensely. To achieve national independence and sovereignty, he dared to challenge any country. The Amethyst incident is a prime example of this!"

These words made Carter and Morris fall into deep thought.

Hu Zhenhua continued to brainwash them.

"This isn't just an industrial zone; it's a door-knocking attempt. If we tap into this massive market of 600 million people, the reach of American capital will expand once again!"

After a long time, Carter said,

"Hu, I think there's a flaw in your logic. Even if the Reds refuse to lease the port, A and B won't necessarily become enemies, right?"

Hu Zhenhua couldn't help but look up to this guy and said with a smile,

"Mr. Carter, in your mind, I should be overjoyed to accept your charity! And I just stated the facts, and you're so unhappy! By the same token, if the polar bears were rejected, would they be happy? You know, polar bears are the leaders of the socialist camp! Their arrogance is a hundred times worse than yours!"

Morris coughed twice and said,

"Huh, Mr. Carter definitely doesn't think the industrial zone is a handout. We're all in this together!"

"Yeah?"

Hu Zhenhua looked at Carter and saw that his face was red. He must have been so angry that his teeth were itching!

Lao Hu joked,

"Mr. Carter, it seems I've been judging you by my own standards. I apologize. I was just thinking that if you approach the Chinese Communist Party with such arrogance, you're bound to fail. Under such circumstances, if I were to develop the industrial zone, I'd lose everything!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed and continued to tease,

"I thought the consulate was short-sighted and didn't see the huge role of the Red side! Mr. Carter, I must apologize to you for this shameful thought!"

Carter was an expert on China and was well versed in the subtleties of the Chinese language. He knew Hu Zhenhua was scolding him and was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth. However, he still took the opportunity to back down and said,

"We're all working together, so it's unavoidable that we'll have some arguments. Mr. Hu, don't mind."

As he said this, he winked at Morris, who understood and immediately asked,

"Hu, what's the huge role of red? Can you explain it to me?"

Seeing that they had fallen into the trap, Hu Zhenhua smiled and asked,

"Excuse me, in the competition between the two camps, what determines victory or defeat?"

Morris replied immediately,

"It depends on the national strength!"

"Then what does national strength depend on?"

"It depends on the strength of science and technology!"

Hu Zhenhua said calmly,

"Depends on population + technology!"

Polar bears have technology, red power has population, what if these two are combined?

Carter looked solemn.

Endless soldiers appeared in his mind, equipped with submachine guns, tanks, artillery, airplanes...

Carter glanced at Hu Zhenhua and put away his contempt. Putting aside other things, the combination of population and technology was enough to illustrate this man's vision.

Currently, the population of the United States is 1.5 million, the population of Europe is 3.9 million, and when combined with the capitalist world's sphere of influence in Asia, the total population of the controlled area exceeds 6 million.

The polar bear population is 1.67 million.

It can be said that in terms of population, the free world wins!

China has nearly 6 million people. What if they turn to the polar bears?

Carter's expression grew serious.

Morris pondered for a moment and asked,

“Does this have anything to do with the industrial area?”

Hu Zhenhua laughed again and said,

"If you truly realize the great role of China, you should go all out to fight for the Red side! And the industrial zone is a good entry point!"

Hu Zhenhua looked at Carter and said seriously,

“If A and B stick together, you’ll be in big trouble, but if they go their separate ways, the polar bear will be in big trouble!”

Hu Zhenhua said this and stopped talking.

Too much talk will lead to mistakes. There are some things that Americans must figure out for themselves.

After Morris and Carter had a conversation in English, he said,

"Hu, we absolutely support you in establishing the industrial zone!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand and shouted,

"It's not me, it's us! We are both the beneficiaries of this matter, but I have to bear the risk alone. Do you think it's fair?"

Morris shook his head helplessly.

"Tariff concessions are really not feasible, but you can make other requests!"

Hu Zhenhua and Guo Dachong looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, and said,

"Okay, my company wants to invest in Japan and South Korea, and I hope your country can provide convenience!"

Carter smiled and nodded.

"no problem!"

As mentioned earlier, the United States is supporting Japan, but the reality is that Western capital is unwilling to come. The reason is very simple, because Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and invaded Southeast Asia, shattering the traditional Western colonies.

Even though the war is over, Westerners still hate Japan!

TA's investment in Japan and South Korea is in line with the US global strategy, and Carter certainly supports it.

Hu Zhenhua thought for a moment and continued,

"I want to add two more production lines, one for nitrogen fertilizer and one for urea! Also, I want to add one each to the steel plant and the oil refinery!"

Hu Zhenhua pondered for a moment and continued,

“I hope they can get a franchise in Naha, just like they did in Irian!”

"I hope that TA can enter the US military's supply chain system. My company will be responsible for part of your country's logistical supply in Northeast Asia!"

The corners of Carter's mouth twitched!

Providing nitrogen fertilizer and urea production lines is easy enough, but providing a steel plant and an oil refinery at the same time is a bit difficult.

Because the offer they gave to Hu Zhenhua already gave a big discount.

Providing another one would be like taking advantage of someone else!

What the hell is this about the Naha franchise? You want to enter the US military supply chain!

Morris looked at Lao Hu, and asked,

"Hu, you're not just raising these conditions to make money, there must be some other underlying reason!"

Hu Zhenhua gave a thumbs up and praised,

"My friend, you truly have a keen eye for talent! As the Chinese proverb goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Japan is unreliable. Once they regain their strength, they might bite you back. They've done so in history. From a global strategic perspective, if TA establishes a new production base in Naha, it will give the US another option!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed.

"Actually, this is the same principle as running a business: there are two buyers, so they can raise the price; there are two sellers, so they can lower the price. If you only have one supplier, Japan, they will feel irreplaceable and will become arrogant!"

Morris and Carter were amused by the metaphor and laughed out loud.

In fact, they don't like those little losers either!

Morris, having laughed enough, asked,

"Hu, do you want to put the extra steel mills and oil refineries in Naha?"

"Yes!"

After a brief thought, Carter said,

“There’s no need to own a franchise then!”

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Of course! Because I want to build a free trade port in Naha, so that Western capital can enter and exit freely!"

Seeing that Carter was a little moved, Lao Hu used another trump card and said,

"Mr. Carter, my wife and some of the company's senior executives are very eager to live in a free world. I wonder if they will be fortunate enough to become American citizens?"

Carter's eyes lit up, and he quickly winked at Morris, who understood and immediately asked,

"Hu, what about you? Are you interested in becoming a citizen of our country?"

Hu Zhenhua chuckled,

"Of course, no problem. I'm also quite yearning for that piece of land!"

Carter was overjoyed and shouted,

"Hu, I can give you an answer right now on behalf of the consulate. The United States welcomes your joining. If you have no objection, I can grant you citizenship of the United States right now!"

Hu Zhenhua held his hand and said with a smile,

"Of course I have no objection!"

Carter was afraid that Hu Zhenhua would go back on his word, so he immediately held a swearing-in ceremony.

No Bible, no flag, keep everything simple.

Carter wrote a naturalization oath by hand and asked Hu Zhenhua to read it.

"I completely give up my citizenship and loyalty to any foreign prince, monarch, country or sovereignty I previously belonged to. I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, both domestic and foreign. I will sincerely be loyal to the United States. When the law requires, I am willing to take up arms to defend the United States; when the law requires, I will do non-combatant military service for the United States; when the law requires, I will do important work for the country under the command of government officials. I swear here freely without any mental obstacles, excuses or reservations. Please God bless me."

After Hu Zhenhua finished reading, it was Guo Dachong's turn!

After the two finished their oath, Carter immediately said,

"Hu, I will handle your request immediately. The industrial zone is urgent!"

"no problem!"

Several people immediately modified the contract on the spot. It was not known whether Carter had that much power, but he agreed to all the requests made by Lao Hu. He even reduced the interest rate of the loan to 2%, and there was no interest in the first two years.

Hu Zhenhua quickly read the contract worth 6.5 million euros and signed his name.

After Carter and Morris left, Hu Zhenhua looked at Guo Dachong and asked uncertainly,

"Is Carter a fool? Just because he took an oath, he changed his attitude?"

Guo Dachong was also puzzled: "The United States is a country of immigrants. Perhaps they don't care whether you are loyal or not. Or perhaps they are confident enough in their own national strength!"

Hu Zhenhua pinched his chin and thought for a while.

Is it for taxation?

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is known as one of the most powerful forces on earth.

Guo Dachong interrupted Hu Zhenhua who was lost in thought and said with a smile,

"Never mind that. Anyway, we have one more talisman. Huazi, with American citizenship, you are now free and can leave the Magic City!"

When Hu Zhenhua heard this, he laughed. If the court still dared to prevent him from leaving, he would let the US Consulate have a good talk with them about their ideals in life!

Hu Zhenhua really doesn't care about nationality.

Patriots love their country wherever they are!

Anyone who is unpatriotic will be a traitor wherever he is!

Lao Hu thought about it and decided that this matter must be reported to the bureau chief as soon as possible.

If he misunderstands that I am in communism, I will be in trouble!
