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

Hu Zhenhua held a simple ceremony and cremated the bodies of the victims.

No matter what, death is the greatest thing.

After finishing his work, Lao Hu led Carter into a small conference room.

Neither side spoke, as they were still immersed in grief.

The only difference is that Carter was truly sad, while Hu Zhenhua was pretending to be sad.

I wonder where Lan Shian got the bodies of those guards who died?

According to Hu Zhenhua's speculation, Carter should have arrived early, but unfortunately, his prediction was wrong.

In order to cover up the stench of the corpses, Lan Shian's body was buried on the ground, covered with only a thin layer of soil, about ten centimeters. The body was blown up in the explosion and burned beyond recognition.

Although there were still some loopholes, Carter was immersed in the grief of Paul's death and did not notice them at all.

Hu Zhenhua's hands were still shaking a little, which was caused by the explosion.

When Lao Hu recalls that devastating scene, he still feels a wave of fear.

He didn't want to have that kind of experience again.

After a long time, Carter spoke first.

"Since last night, the Air Force has dispatched a large number of aircraft for reconnaissance, but has found no signs of movement of Communist troops."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhenhua stared into Carter's eyes and asked,

"Do you suspect that my information is wrong?"

Although Carter denied it, he actually thought so.

Hu Zhenhua was speechless.

No matter how good your confidentiality work is, there will always be clues to follow in any military operation, such as the transfer of personnel, the preparation of food and ammunition, war mobilization, etc.

There's a tense atmosphere in the air, and you said you didn't detect anything?

Hu Zhenhua thought for a moment and asked

"Are you only conducting aerial reconnaissance? Don't you have people on the ground gathering intelligence?"

"Intelligence officers on the ground reported that the Communist army could attack at any time."

Hu Zhenhua nodded.

"In that case, what doubts do you have?"

Carter said solemnly,

"We suspect this is fake news. While the Red Army excels at assaults, attacking a large city like the Magic City is impossible without the support of heavy weapons. There's no sign of the enemy deploying any artillery! Infantry can assault, but artillery can't!"

Hu Zhenhua's mind was as clear as a mirror.

Of course, there is no possibility of artillery mobilization!

The Battle of Shanghai, also known as "shooting a rat in a china shop", was a war in which the Red Army did not use heavy weapons in order to completely take over this international metropolis and avoid backlash and interference from foreign forces. Even explosives and grenades were rarely used.

It’s no wonder that the trucks couldn’t understand. This kind of fearless spirit of preferring to sacrifice oneself to reduce damage is extremely rare in the history of war!

Hu Zhenhua knew that Carter was doubting him, and said unhappily,

"Carter, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush!"

Carter was in a bad mood and had no mood to beat around the bush with Lao Hu. After a brief thought, he said,

"I passed the information to Morris and Charlie. They wanted a specific date for the war to begin."

Hu Zhenhua understood that foreign banks held a large amount of real estate in Shanghai. If they had enough time, they could sell it slowly, but if time was urgent, they had to take drastic measures.

In one day, the difference in profits may reach tens of millions of dollars.

Hu Zhenhua stretched out a finger and said lightly,

"One million dollars, regardless of whether the other party responds or not? Morris must pay me this money first!"

Carter agreed on the spot without bargaining.

For crucial information like this, people would be scrambling to get it even if it cost tens of millions, not to mention one million.

"When can we expect news?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"I'll urge them as soon as possible. The other party needs time to verify. To avoid losses, I still hope Morris can speed up the sale of assets."

In fact, Lao Hu would delay for more than ten hours before giving out the information.

According to his estimation, these Western financial groups should think that war will not break out within three to five days at least.

Hu Zhenhua was secretly happy. After all, I have reminded you many times and fulfilled my obligations as an American!

Lao Hu was very much looking forward to it. He wanted to see what Morris’ expression would be like after being suffocated to death.

Hu Zhenhua calmed down and said,

"Carter, my air defense force is seriously insufficient. I want to purchase a batch of anti-aircraft guns. Can you help me coordinate it? The best one should be shipped within three days!"

"Anti-aircraft guns?"

Although Carter was angry, he had not lost his mind. The answer to who the anti-aircraft guns were used to defend against was obvious.

He said lightly,

"You have money and territory. If your military is too strong, the authorities will definitely suspect you of separatist ambitions."

Hu Zhenhua snorted coldly and said disdainfully,

"Unless I donate the industrial zone, they won't stop doubting me. Instead of waiting for death, I might as well give it a try."

Carter pondered for a moment and continued to persuade,

"Chongming Island is surrounded by water. The authorities' troops can land anywhere, and the navy's warships can bombard anywhere! There are also over 1 soldiers in the Provisional First Army on the island. If you engage in armed conflict with the authorities, you have no chance of winning! Purchasing anti-aircraft guns will only provoke them and make the situation even more uncontrollable!"

Hu Zhenhua got angry when he heard this, slammed the table and stood up, shouting,

"Am I just going to be at the mercy of others, unable to even buy anti-aircraft guns to protect myself?"

Lao Hu pointed at Carter's nose.

"If you don't sell it, I'll buy it from other countries!"

Carter saw that Hu Zhenhua was irritated and immediately explained,

"I didn't say I wouldn't sell it. I just wanted to let you know: your opponent is Wang Yu, not the entire government. You must be clear about this."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

Carter knew he couldn't persuade Lao Hu, so he simply followed his train of thought and asked,

"How are you going to deal with Wang Yu?"

Hu Zhenhua laughed.

"What is a capitalist society? As long as you have capital, you can do whatever you want. I'm offering a 2 million yuan reward for the old spy's head!"

The corners of Carter's mouth twitched again.

Once, Hu Zhenhua wanted to pay Wang Yu 2 million US dollars as consolation money, but now, he wants to use this 2 million to buy Wang Yu's head.

Hu Zhenhua laughed again.

"I want to see how the old spy responds to my financial offensive!"

Carter's eyes became deep, he had already seen the ending: countless killers came one after another, the first batch fell, and the next batch pounced on them. Even Wang Yu's bodyguards would turn their guns and shoot him to death!

Money moves people's hearts!

2000 million Miyuan is the total income of an ordinary citizen of the Magic City for years!

Things have developed to this point. Only one of Hu Zhenhua and Wang Yu can fall!

Carter made a decision quickly!

The person who fell down could only be Wang Yu!

If nothing else, at least Paul must not die in vain!

Carter said in a cold tone,

"I will put pressure on the authorities to catch the murderer!"

Hu Zhenhua immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Forget it. If push comes to shove, the authorities will find a scapegoat for you!"

Carter also knew that he would not find any results. Wang Yu was a veteran spy, so how could he leave the whole thing behind? But Carter still said firmly,

"It doesn't matter whether we can find out the results or not! What matters is that we must express our attitude!"

The strong protest is to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future!

There is only zero and countless times of compromise!

When Cook's leg was broken, Carter gave in.

When Anthony was shot, Carter compromised again.

Perhaps it was the consideration of the overall situation on these two occasions that gave Wang Yu the illusion that the consulate was weak and could be bullied!

This time, I will do whatever it takes to let the authorities know my anger.

Hu Zhenhua didn't care what Carter would do. He said calmly,

"Blood debt can only be repaid with blood! Twenty-three young men from my guard unit died in this bombing. I must give them an explanation."

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head.

Carter is a diplomat, and he is used to solving problems from a diplomat's perspective!

Hu Zhenhua doesn't have so many concerns, so he can use more means.
