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

In the dim night, a fleet armed to the teeth was sailing across the river.

The towering gun barrel silently tells the story of the aesthetics of violence!

They implemented strict lighting control, so there was almost no noise during navigation.

The fleet sailed towards the unknown like a ghost.

They were a mighty force, with more than fifty ships of various types.

It carried four regiments, more than 7000 people, and various weapons and equipment, including more than tanks.

The fleet’s destination this time is Chongming!

The peaches are ripe and ready to be picked.

As soon as Hu Zhenhua set foot on the land of the industrial zone, he received a report that Liu Yue had arrived and had been waiting for a long time!

Old Hu frowned.

This was the first time the authorities had sent anyone since he and Wang Yu had clashed.

Punish? Or appease?

There was another person following Liu Yue: Qian Ke!

After the introduction, Lao Hu realized that this person was Mr. Qian's father-in-law!

Liu Yue seemed very anxious. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to say,

"Zhenhua, the war has broken out again in Magic City. The industrial zone must ensure good logistics and production. TA's company has its roots in Magic City. If the defenders fail, you will also suffer heavy losses!"

Hu Zhenhua readily agreed.

"No problem, the Demon City is my home, and I rely on everyone to protect it! I have already recruited three regiments, and after a little training, they can be sent to the battlefield in the Demon City! I, Hu Zhenhua, have a sincere heart for the Party and the country, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to it!"

Liu Yue laughed.

He must be very clear about what was going on with those three groups.

Ding Zhipan filed a lawsuit with the Ministry of National Defense. If it weren't for the pressure from above, General Ding would have come to the door long ago.

The Provisional First Army had only seven regiments in total, and two of them were lost at once. How could Commander Ding not be furious!

"Zhenhua, we have all seen your loyalty. This time, I also brought a commendation!"

Hu Zhenhua immediately stood up straight and listened to the instructions of the leader.

No matter whether he was sincere or not, his respectful attitude made Liu Yue very satisfied!

After the drama of his unwavering loyalty, Liu Yue continued to ask,

"I heard that the equipment for the arsenal has gradually arrived. I wonder how long it will take to supply munitions to the soldiers on the front lines?"

Hu Zhenhua's consistent strategy is to drag things out.

If you delay long enough, anything can be delayed.

He thought for a moment and said,

"The main equipment is already in place and is currently being installed and debugged. Since both generals are here, I'd like to give you a brief update on the current state of the military factories! Let's start with the aircraft factory! Aircraft have the highest technical requirements. According to the engineers' predictions, it will take four months to fully streamline the production line. I demand they complete this within two months!"

"The second part is the tanks. Since the steel mills can't start production in a short period of time, armor production faces great difficulties. Also, the gasoline engines used in the tanks are not something that can be copied overnight. I require them to complete it within two months!"

"The third part is the artillery. It's the same steel that troubled us. Of course, drilling and carving the rifling is also a big problem. I've tasked the engineers with solving this problem and have also hired foreign experts at high salaries. We'll definitely see results in a month and a half!"

"The machine gun is the least technically difficult! According to the original plan, the finished product should be ready within two months, but I issued a strict order requiring them to start production within two weeks to a month. Otherwise, the person responsible will be shot!"

After hearing this, Liu Yue's expression relaxed a lot.

Although he was not in charge of the arsenal, he was no stranger to weapons production. For a newly built factory to be put into production within a month was already incredibly fast!

Qian Ke suddenly interrupted and said,

"Can you put the machine guns aside first? Can you give priority to ammunition, especially heavy machine gun bullets?"

Hu Zhenhua rubbed his brows and said helplessly,

"As for bullets, the production line is complete and the raw materials are plentiful, but we lack skilled workers. Gunpowder and primers are dangerous goods and can explode if we're not careful. I've read reports that several workers have been injured!"

Hu Zhenhua was silent for a while and said,

"In 10 days, I will definitely provide the first batch of ammunition to the defenders. If that's not possible, I will purchase it from the US military myself and have it airlifted over!"

Qian Ke was quite moved. He shook Hu Zhenhua's hand and said excitedly,

"On behalf of the soldiers on the front line, thank you!"

"Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of their country! This is what I should do."

Liu Yue coughed twice.

Hu Zhenhua was like this, so he was reluctant to speak up. However, Liu Yue still wanted to say something.

"Zhenhua, I want to discuss the financial settlement of the arms with you!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand to interrupt him.

"General Liu, I know what you're trying to say! Although I, Hu Zhenhua, am greedy for money, I also understand that if the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will be destroyed! The military situation is urgent, and TA Company will do its utmost to ensure logistical supplies! Currently, I have about 1500 million in cash in my account. After deducting 3000 million for the purchase of special steel, the rest, plus the inventory of raw materials, should be enough to make up million for arms. I can deliver it to the garrison first, and as for the payment, we can discuss it later. But the rest of the million needs to be handled by the authorities, otherwise, I will have no raw materials for production!"

Hu Zhenhua suddenly remembered something and continued,

"I forgot that airlines and cruise companies may make substantial profits in the coming months. I, Hu Zhenhua, will not take a penny of this money. I will use it all to purchase arms and support the defenders!"

Liu Yue was so excited that he couldn't speak. He grabbed Lao Hu's hand and choked several times!

After a long time, Liu Yue said with tears in his eyes,

"If everyone were like this, how could the country be in this state? How much more than this!"

Hu Zhenhua rolled his eyes and said with a smile,

"General Liu, many hands make light work. The government has many wealthy families with vast fortunes and foreign capital. I believe the government can mobilize people to seek donations from them! The battle for the Magic City is a matter of great importance, and we cannot afford to lose! The higher-ups have a far-sighted vision and have formulated a brilliant strategy! If we can hold out for half a year, the international situation will undoubtedly change dramatically. At this time, everyone should contribute their strength!"

This is the truth, but those who can truly treat their country as their home are rare!

Qian Ke sighed.

"It's not easy to mobilize wealthy families to donate!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed and said,

"Hey, I was just mentioning it casually. I don't know about others, but I, Hu Zhenhua, have my roots in the Magic City, and I swear to live and die with the defenders!"

If the powerful knew that this bad idea was from Lao Hu, they would definitely eat him alive!

So, I can only stop here!

Liu Yue suddenly remembered something and shouted,

"Coach Yan!"

"To!"

"Send a telegram to headquarters immediately, saying that TA Company is fully committed to supplying logistics and production, and spread the news to the entire army to boost morale!"

"Yes!"

When the telegram was sent, the fleet that was originally heading towards Chongming immediately turned to Wusongkou!

What Hu Zhenhua didn't know was that his righteous deception saved him from a catastrophic disaster.

Therefore, you must be sweet-tongued and say more things that others like to hear!

At this time in the industrial zone, most of the security forces were gathered at the training ground to monitor the three regiments.

If the fleet lands, with less than a thousand guns left, it will not be able to stop the four regiments of more than 7000 people, not to mention that they also have more than tanks!

You know, the security team has more than 1000 people, but they are scattered over a vast area of ​​several hundred square kilometers and will be defeated one by one!

Liu Yue’s negotiation this time is a showdown!

In fact, the authorities do not want to fall out with Hu Zhenhua. After all, Hu is American-funded!

Capturing the industrial zone would be equivalent to destroying the US strategic layout, with serious consequences.

But a person who is about to drown can no longer care about many things!

Fortunately, the ending is pretty good!

After the two sides reached a consensus, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Hu Zhenhua lit a cigarette and said with a smile,

"General Liu, General Qian, these three regiments are just the first batch. I will continue to recruit soldiers. I can't say how many more there will be, but within half a month, I can easily gather three or five more regiments. However, these soldiers won't have any military skills, so I'm afraid they'll need more training!"

Qian Ke had a different opinion and said,

"The battlefield between the two armies is the best training ground! In my opinion, we don't need to train too long. We are the defenders and will basically stay in the bunkers and trenches. We just need to teach them how to shoot. We don't want them to fight in the field, so we can teach them the extra tactics later!"

Hu Zhenhua's face suddenly turned dark!

These soldiers are going to be used as cannon fodder!

Old Hu felt very uncomfortable and said,

"Generals, even though these three regiments are made up of able-bodied men, they were sent out by me after all. Don't treat them as disposable items! I'll go and comfort them later!"

Liu Yue thought further and sighed,

"With more troops, there's even more pressure on logistics. These three regiments are barely enough to feed 5000 mouths!"

Hu Zhenhua sensed something was wrong and said unhappily,

"What do you mean, logistics can't let me go, right?"

Liu Yue also knew that this request was a bit excessive, so he took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

"Zhenhua, don't misunderstand me. If we want to hold out in the Magic City for half a year, we must be prepared for a protracted war. The defenders' food reserves are seriously insufficient!"

Old Hu snorted coldly.

No matter how much food there is, it is not enough to deal with the harm caused by corrupt officials in the army!

Hu Zhenhua took two puffs of his cigarette and sighed helplessly,

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of the logistics for these three regiments myself, but that doesn't include weapons and equipment!"

The wrinkles on Liu Yue's face completely melted away, he laughed heartily and said,

"Zhenhua, if you pluck out a hair, it's thicker than our waists!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"You two, the military situation is urgent, I won't keep you here! I hope we can meet again at the celebration banquet for the victory in defending the Magic City!"

As he said this, he drove the two people away as if they were the plague god.

When they were parting, Liu Yue heard Hu Zhenhua muttering in a low voice: If I keep you a little longer, I don’t know how much blood I will bleed!

Liu Yue just laughed it off.

It’s already a great achievement to have such a harvest today!

A steady and long-lasting flow is the long-term solution!

They had been walking for less than 5 minutes when Carter came rushing over!

He was sweating profusely from running, and as soon as he met her, he asked impatiently,

"What agreement did you reach with the authorities?"

Hu Zhenhua did not hide anything and told the truth!

Carter breathed a sigh of relief.

"No wonder! Did you know that the industrial zone was on the brink of death? If you hadn't reached an agreement just now, four regiments from the authorities would have landed in the industrial zone! The Joanna and Caroline were dispatched urgently and are ready to intervene at any time!"

Hu Zhenhua was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!

Fortunately, I am familiar with history, so I was able to use a delaying tactic!

Otherwise, it would be a dead end now!

After Lao Hu calmed down, he had roughly understood the cause and effect of the whole incident.

Entering the industrial zone from the two regiments of the Provisional First Army is a trap!

The first result: The two regiments successfully captured the industrial zone!

The second outcome: the industrial zone falls into chaos, and the authorities can send in troops to quell the unrest! And then the cuckoo takes over the cuckoo's nest!

The third result: The Bureau of Secrets had predicted that they might be caught, and Duan Long would have to allocate a large number of troops to guard them.

As a result, the industrial area was left with a period of defense vacuum!

In addition, after seeing the weakness of the Provisional First Army, Duan Long will definitely feel contempt!

high!

It’s really high!

As for whether it would anger the Americans afterwards, it's easy to explain: the fleet was originally going to support the Magic City, but ended up 'lost'!

The facts are already established, and Americans can only accept it with a wry smile!

Unfortunately, the devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher!

Lao Hu had a God’s perspective, which is why he barely escaped the disaster!

After calming down, Hu Zhenhua suddenly jumped up, pointed in the direction of the Magic City and cursed the authorities for being shameless and for wasting his enthusiasm!

He cursed for a full ten minutes before he stopped and fell onto the sofa, gasping for breath!

Carter waited for him to calm down before speaking.

"To prevent something like this from happening again, the higher-ups have decided to provide you with a division's worth of equipment. It will arrive in two or three days!"

Hu Zhenhua was overjoyed, and all his previous anger disappeared.

There are two types of division-level units in the US military: infantry division and armored division.

The only thing Carter can provide assistance to is the infantry division!

The US Army infantry division is organized as follows: three infantry regiments, a division headquarters and headquarters company, a mechanized reconnaissance team, engineers, communications, supply, medical, military police and other units, a tank battalion, and an air defense battalion; the entire division has more than 1.5 officers and soldiers.

Weapons and equipment include: 70 howitzers, 145 mortars, 93 anti-tank guns, 663 rocket launchers, 950 machine guns, 76 tanks, 49 armored vehicles, and 1560 other vehicles.

The cost of an infantry division is approximately 3000-4000 million yuan, not including the cost of training and recruiting personnel.

Hu Zhenhua gave Carter a hug and said with a smile,

"Will the equipment I am given be complete or castrated?"

Carter's mouth twitched twice.

"Morris is absolutely right. You're as cunning as a fox! You hit the nail on the head with just one sentence. It's a neutered version, roughly equivalent to half of a regular US infantry division, enough for you to equip about 8000 men. However, it still has a full complement of tanks and artillery pieces!"

This is not bad, worth 10 or 20 million, it's a piece of cake.

Hu Zhenhua pursed his lips, pretending to be unhappy.

"Speaking of Morris, I have to complain a little. This guy has a strange mind. He actually dared to buy the real estate market at this time. I went to Shanghai to persuade him personally, but it was no use. Carter, you should find a chance to talk to him. This is a trap. Once you fall into it, there's no getting out!"

Carter had been paying attention to the situation and hadn't noticed Morris at all. He was shocked when he heard this.

"Is there such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true! I risked my life to go to the Magic City this afternoon. If you don't believe me, you can send him a telegram right now to confirm it!"

"This greedy guy is so careless!"

Hu Zhenhua continued to apply eye drops to him.

"That's right. American Steel still has tens of millions of dollars in deposits with Huaqi Foreign Company, and I have tens of millions of dollars in deposits. If they go bankrupt, I won't even have a place to cry!"

Carter pondered for a moment and shouted,

"Come on, you and I will go to the Magic City together. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"
