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

A hundred years is too long, we must seize the day.

The drama of the Temporary Group 1 has just ended, and the movie The Invincible One has begun.

Of course, this performance itself does not refer to the filming of the movie, but to the operations behind the scenes.

Ever since Hu Zhenhua showed goodwill to the red side at the staff meeting and the Second-Hand World, the other side finally gave a positive response: allowing the film crew to enter the Magic City to shoot scenes of the soldiers attacking.

Carter was extremely excited because this was equivalent to obtaining a license, and there would not be much resistance to the broadcast of "The Invincible Kindness" in Jiangbei in the future.

When he excitedly found Hu Zhenhua, he found that the latter was frowning.

"Hu, our movie is going well, why are you so unhappy?"

Lao Hu pushed a telegram over.

In the battle last night, 1 people of the 1082st Temporary Regiment were killed and 413 were seriously injured. If the pension standard of 3000 yuan per person is applied, the amount for this item alone would be as high as 450 million yuan.

In addition to killing 2056 enemies, the bonus will be paid according to the close combat standard, 300 yuan per person, and a total of more than 60 yuan is required.

Together with other rewards and logistical supplies, a total of more than 600 million yuan is needed.

The weapons and equipment were provided by the Americans, but the pension had to be paid by Hu Zhenhua himself.

After reading the telegram, Carter frowned deeply, because he could tell from Hu Zhenhua's expression that the other party was considering withdrawing troops.

This idea cannot be said to be wrong, but the Far East Intelligence Bureau has other ideas.

In the early morning, Xie Zhiyu made a plan: using tonight's unloading as bait, he would set an ambush to avenge the theft of his arms last night.

This plan received unanimous support from the Intelligence Bureau because the 1st Temporary Regiment had been on the defensive and no matter how many enemies it killed, it could not demonstrate its combat effectiveness.

But tonight was different. Xie Zhiyu walked out of the trench to ambush, which was equivalent to engaging in a field battle with the Red Army. This was very important for assessing the combat effectiveness of the Red Army.

Americans have always liked to prepare for a rainy day, and they have already been deducing how to fight if they face the Red Army head-on.

After a brief thought, Carter persuaded,

"Even if we retreat, we have to win a battle and leave in style."

Hu Zhenhua had no expression on his face.

"The Lijiatun victory wiped out over 2000 enemy soldiers. This is a great victory!"

It’s okay to fool others with this kind of nonsense, but you even fool yourself!

He is indeed a ruthless person.

Carter handed Hu Zhenhua a cigarette and said with a smile,

"Speaking of the Lijiatun victory, I have some good news. Do you want to hear it?"

"What is it?"

"Xie Zhiyu has become famous. In the United States, he has become an idol to many people and is even known as the Eastern Saint Seiya!"

Hu Zhenhua snorted coldly.

"You can't eat fame! Even if the people praise Xie Zhiyu as the emperor of the universe, they still want me to provide logistics and pensions!"

Carter immediately retorted,

"How come the fame that so many people desire is worthless in your mouth?"

"I was badly screwed by the authorities. Those arsenals alone cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and the production lines were still under commissioning when they had to be dismantled. All my initial investment went down the drain. If the factories blow up, I won't even have a chance to make up for it!"

Carter was aware of Hu Zhenhua's plan to secretly dismantle the equipment because, in order to prevent leaks, Hu had assigned the main work to American engineers.

Hu Zhenhua leaned back in his chair and sighed.

"I, Hu Zhenhua, have been so wise my whole life, but I ended up in trouble. I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. I originally wanted to make a fortune from the war, but now, I've lost everything!"

Carter wanted to say something to comfort him, but suddenly, Lao Hu jumped up, grabbed Carter's arm, and said with a look of earnestness,

"My friend, you just said that the American people regard Xie Zhiyu as a 'Saint Seiya'?"

"That's right!"

"Hey!"

Hu Zhenhua's brain became very active. He took out paper and a pen and started writing quickly.

Soon, Carter figured out what he was going to do. This guy was going to the United States to raise funds!

Look at his slogan:

Fight for the free world!

I am not fighting alone, the people of the free world are my strong backing!

May my burning blood illuminate the free world!

If I fall, don't be sad, don't be depressed, step over my dead body and move forward bravely.

……

Talent usually refers to the abilities or traits that a person is born with, such as intelligence, talent, skills, etc., which are naturally given and not acquired through learning and training.

Carter suddenly felt that Hu Zhenhua's talent was making money.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as "horrible".

Hu Zhenhua thought of something and said,

"All the funds raised will be used to purchase weapons from the United States!"

This move is equivalent to currying favor with WWA and US arms dealers.

Once they gain their support, it will be easier for TA Group to expand its market in the West.

The U.S. government in later generations was called the military-industrial complex, and the growth of its military-industrial complex began with World War II.

The famous Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman are known as the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the US military industry. Their rapid development is precisely because of war.

Carter looked at Hu Zhenhua's excitement and said with a smile,

"If you send someone over now, it might be too late, right?"

"How could that be? TA's company just opened an office in the United States. I'll send a telegram to Yushchenko right away!"

After Hu Zhenhua finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

A good company must be able to tell stories.

For example, Mai Paopao in Japan did not have any outstanding military achievements, but that did not prevent him from becoming a famous general of the time and being deified.

The same goes for Xie Zhiyu.

The story goes like this: Xie Zhiyu was originally just a security guard, living in a daze. One day, he suddenly saw a poster of defending the Great Demon City. Xie Zhiyu looked at the fluttering flag, and something in his heart was suddenly touched. He matured in an instant, and resolutely stepped out of his comfort zone. He pieced together a ragtag army with a group of like-minded young people and threw them into the battlefield.

As newcomers, they were immediately hit hard: the weapons issued to them by the garrison were no different from fire sticks. This group of young people were angry and distressed, but they did not give up on themselves. They raised funds and purchased weapons and ammunition bit by bit through fundraising and black market purchases.

Before becoming famous, they had already experienced more than a dozen battles of varying sizes.

Xie Zhiyu's efforts were not in vain. Under the obstruction of the 1st Temporary Regiment, countless women, children, the elderly and the young were evacuated.

However, the incompetence of the authorities left the 1st Temporary Regiment isolated and helpless, but in order to cover the retreat of more people, Xie Zhiyu chose to hold on.

Although there are thousands of people, I am going!

Inspired by Xie Zhiyu, TA company chairman Hu Zhenhua, Consul Carter, military attaché James, and countless other people of noble character and lofty ideals (fictional) resolutely joined the 1st Temporary Regiment to contribute to the defense of the last bastion of the free world in the East!

Add in some poignant love stories and the introduction of two villains, and the story becomes even more captivating!

The masters of the plagiarism academy all used their brains to enrich the image of Xie Zhiyu.

On the other side, the photography team was busy taking pictures of Xie Zhiyu and his soldiers.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the manuscripts and photos had been faxed to Yushchenko on the other side of the ocean. At this time, it was just dawn in the United States!

Yushchenko received the information and immediately arranged for it to be printed.

The United States is worthy of being the country with the strongest industrial strength. It completed the preparations in just two hours.

In order to raise funds, Yushchenko set up a special organization: the League of Freedom Defenders!

This name sounds noble.

The headquarters is located next to TA's corporate office.

Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, first comes fame then profit!

Edgar is a college student committed to social activism and has political ambitions. He had just finished breakfast when he heard someone on campus recruiting volunteers.

"General Xie Zhiyu, the Eastern Saint and lone hero, is fighting for the great cause of the free world. Fellow students, we cannot remain indifferent; we must take action! Heroes are bleeding, we cannot shed tears anymore! We must raise funds to provide support for General Xie. The Freedom Defenders Alliance is now recruiting volunteers, and we welcome everyone to sign up!"

Edgar didn't hesitate at all. He immediately waved his fist and shouted loudly,

"Long live the free world!"

Edgar has a strong leadership temperament. As soon as he arrived, he stole the show and became the focus.

People are emotional creatures, especially when they are in a group. A few slogans can make everyone excited.

The recruitment process went very smoothly.

After some debate, Edgar became the head of the Newtown University branch, which was undoubtedly a major benefit for him as he was committed to realizing his political ambitions.

The free world has been silent for too long, and it has been a long time since there has been such a heart-wrenching and passionate story.

You must take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for yourself.

Edgar obviously knew Newtown University better, and under his operation, more than 300 volunteers were quickly recruited.

The most difficult stage in the development of things is the initial stage. As long as you take the first step, you are halfway to success.

When Yushchenko saw the first group of students taking to the streets to collect donations, he knew that his plan was half successful.

The fundraising team grew like a snowball.

At 10 a.m., the entire Newtown street was filled with students collecting donations.

After completing the first step, Yushchenko immediately met with the WWA and arms dealers to discuss procurement matters.

Fundraising is not something that anyone can do. If the company does not tie its interests with those of local financial groups, it will soon run into trouble.

However, this cake is not easy to divide. If you choose one, you will offend the other.

When more than a dozen representatives arrived, Yushchenko said in fluent English,

"Gentlemen, welcome to the Freedom Defenders Alliance. I'm Yushchenko, the leader. I've gathered you all here to bid, not on price, but on time. The war in the Magic City has reached a critical juncture. Right now, General Xie is leading his troops in a bloody battle. Although the United States has provided a lot of aid, it's a drop in the bucket. Therefore, whoever can get the arms to the Magic City first will be paid!"

More than a dozen representatives looked at each other.

"What about the price? What's the price?"

Yushchenko took out a document and said with a smile,

"If it's produced within a year, the price will be based on the US military's purchase price. If it's a stockpile weapon, the price will be based on the WWA's selling price!"

Everyone looked unhappy.

After the war, the army’s inventory was not used up, so how could they purchase new weapons? Therefore, the settlement price could only be based on the WWA price, which was the disposal price!

If Yushchenko could see into the future, he would see a promotional image like this:

"Hey everyone, it's a clearance sale. We have all the weapons and helmets in stock. You can buy anything you want. Not 999, not 99, just 9..."

This is the true reflection of WWA’s inner world.

WWA is the United States' post-war asset management agency, and TA has previously purchased ships and aircraft from them.

Yushchenko smiled like a fox who could see through people's hearts.

"Gentlemen, if you can't get rid of your inventory, how can the price of arms rebound? Right now, General Xie is fighting for the free world. Whoever supports him will gain widespread reputation. This is a great advertising opportunity!"

People are still full of doubts.

"Mr. You, the shipping fee is paid by you, right?"

Yushchenko shook his head.

"Gentlemen, we won't pay until the goods arrive at the port!"

The crowd was in an uproar, shouting and clamoring.

"What if the war is over by the time the goods arrive? We'll be at a huge loss!"

“What if my goods arrive at the port and you don’t have the money to pay?”

Seeing them talking so much, Yushchenko knew the time was ripe and said with a smile,

"Gentlemen, since you're risk-averse, I have a supplementary proposal: TA will provide a guarantee. If the war ends or the donations are insufficient after the goods arrive at the port, TA will cover the remaining balance. However, given TA's current financial pressures, you must agree to a deferral of payment. For each year of deferral, TA will pay an additional 5% of the total value of the goods as interest. We will base the payment on a calendar month basis, and any delay less than a month will be charged interest on a monthly basis."

Yushchenko suddenly saw the WWA representative's face turn happy, and immediately added a condition:

"The total amount of arms is less than 3 million Mi Yuan. You can discuss the specific distribution among yourselves."

If this condition is not added, WWA will probably transport all the junk there.

There was some joy on everyone's faces.

5% annual interest rate, this condition is not bad.

Anyway, the arms are just gathering dust in the warehouse, so it’s better to earn some interest.

"Mr. You, can you please raise the price a bit? We can't just add the shipping fee, right?"

Yushchenko decisively refused.

"There's absolutely no chance of a price increase. In fact, the US isn't the only country with an arms surplus."

Yushchenko was warning them: There are many arms suppliers, and I don't necessarily have to choose you.

Perhaps the warning worked, everyone accepted Yushchenko's additional terms, and they immediately started arguing fiercely for the share like bloodthirsty sharks.

Yushchenko was calm and composed, neither intervening nor trying to persuade the situation, and he leisurely enjoyed his coffee.

After more than ten minutes, Yushchenko saw that they were not finished and knocked on the table.

"Gentlemen, if anyone can deliver the munitions within two days, I will increase my price by 5 percent."

Everyone shook their heads.

"How is this possible unless we choose air transport!"

Yushchenko patiently said,

"If anyone has good relations with the US military in the Asia-Pacific region, they could borrow some arms from them. It would only take two weeks. Actually, doing so would also be beneficial for the military, as it would allow them to update their arsenal. What do you think?"

This plan is actually feasible because the government is also indirectly supporting Xie Zhiyu.

At this point, everyone stopped arguing and left, ready to use their connections to borrow arms.

As for the 3 million yuan limit, it’s not too late to argue about it later.

You Xiange saw them off. If nothing unexpected happened, everything would proceed steadily according to the chairman's plan.
