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

Early the next morning, Hu Zhenhua boarded a plane heading south to meet Qi Shuhuan. The meeting place was at Taiyi Zhenhai Taoist Temple. The two found an open grassland and talked as if no one was around.

Lao Hu first handed a document to Director Qi, and after he finished reading it, Lao Hu immediately destroyed it.

The content of the document is very short, which is the result of the polar bear experiment.

Qi Shuhuan keenly noticed the strangeness of Xinjin Airport and blurted out,

"The Americans wanted to launch a surprise attack, but were one step too late?"

Hu Zhenhua covered his chest and said compassionately,

"Just a little bit, just a little bit! It's not that they're a step late, but the polar bears noticed the Americans' plan and moved up the test!"

Qi Shuhuan felt his breathing quicken, and he couldn't even control his heartbeat.

"Zhenzhen Zhenhua, what will happen if the Americans succeed in their raid?"

"Brother Qi, why bother asking when you already know the answer?"

Once the Americans succeed in their raid, a war will inevitably begin.

Qi Shuhuan felt nothing but regret in his heart!

Hu Zhenhua saw his thoughts and said sarcastically,

"Even if the Americans succeeded, are you qualified to participate? You had a good Xinjin Airport, complete fortifications, and were well-rested, yet you were almost penetrated by the guerrillas. And you still have the nerve to call yourselves regular troops? I don't even have the face to speak for you in front of the Americans!!"

Hu Zhenhua felt unsatisfied and continued to curse.

"And that Deng Huaiyi, boasting about annihilating 20,000 enemies, bah! Can the entire Sichuan Province even muster 20,000 guerrillas? He's boasting at every turn, and you know how pissed the Americans are! A jerk like Deng was actually promoted to general. He alone lowered the average quality of the entire corps of generals."

Qi Shuhuan was embarrassed and said in defense,

“We’re also doing this to boost morale.”

Hu Zhenhua burst into laughter, holding his stomach, and continued to sneer.

"Do you even know how to write morale? You still have the nerve to raise morale? Since the loss of the Magic City at the end of May, just three months, calculate how much territory we've lost."

Hu Zhenhua mentioned Deng Huaiyi in order to sow discord. If the authorities heard that the Americans were dissatisfied with Deng Huaiyi, they would definitely deal with this guy, which would inevitably intensify the conflict between the central army and local troops. Soon after, Deng was suspected of being dismissed from his post on the charge of unfavorable search and rescue operations.

Qi Shuhuan took out a cigarette box, took out a cigarette and handed it to Lao Hu to cover up his embarrassment.

"Zhenhua, you didn't meet me today just to curse me, did you? If so, Brother Qi will never say anything back."

Director Qi offered it several times before Old Hu took the cigarette. Qi Shuhuan quickly lit it for him and smiled.

Hu Zhenhua took two puffs, his anger subsided, and he said,

"Brother Qi, I wasn't targeting you just now, don't take it to heart!"

"How could I possibly take it to heart?"

Hu Zhenhua looked around and saw that no one was approaching, so he lowered his voice and said,

"No major country can be without nuclear weapons. We must control them ourselves. Having them ourselves is worse than having them from your parents. Yesterday, I spoke with Baron from MI6 in the Gentleman Country. TA will be jointly developing nuclear power plants with them. Brother Qi, do you understand what I mean?"

Hu Zhenhua almost said it clearly, how could Qi Shuhuan not understand that this was to use the development of nuclear power plants to train relevant talents and prepare for the development of nuclear weapons.

Qi Shuhuan also lowered his voice and said,

"You mean the Gentleman Country is also secretly developing large-scale firecrackers?"

"That's right!"

The nuclear weapons program of the Gentleman Country was ahead of that of the Americans. The reason why the Americans took the lead was that the Gentleman Country's homeland was bombed at that time and they were unable to afford the huge research and development costs, so they merged their own research and development plans with the Manhattan Project. Who knew that after the test was successful, the Americans turned their backs on it in order to maintain their nuclear monopoly.

The Gentleman Country was completely taken advantage of, and they had no choice but to start working on their own in secret.

Qi Shuhuan was a little lacking in confidence and asked,

"Can we do this?"

Hu Zhenhua looked at him with eyes full of contempt, which he did not hide.

The comprador class has an obvious characteristic, which is that they are superstitious about the West, want to rely on them in everything, and never believe in their own strength.

Seeing that Lao Hu was silent, Qi Shuhuan laughed awkwardly and said,

"Whether we have research and development or not, it's always a good idea to reserve some talent."

Hu Zhenhua's expression finally relaxed.

"Brother Qi, you're right to think so! Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I used to think that if I became an American citizen, I would be American, but the bayonet in Hong Kong woke me up. Without a strong motherland behind me, no matter what nationality I have, it's useless! With my oriental face, I will never be able to integrate into the mainstream Western world. So, as long as the government is determined to reform, I, Hu Zhenhua, am willing to transfer most of TA's company's resources to the government's jurisdiction to promote the prosperity of all industries in the government!"

Hu Zhenhua paused, took a breath, and continued,

"Also, the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of arms stored by TA can be transferred to the authorities when the time is right!"

Those arms were bought on credit by Lao Hu from various arms dealers when Xie Zhiyu was guarding the Magic City. Only a very small part of them was paid for.

Now that Lao Hu is fooling Director Qi, he can just explain the purpose of this arms. When war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, he can sell it at a high price to increase the war cost of the US military.

Director Qi's breathing quickened again, and he turned back to report to his superiors: "Under my persuasion, Hu Zhenhua..."

Promotion and salary increase are just around the corner!

Qi Shuhuan held Lao Hu's hand, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Zhenhua, you've been wronged!"

"Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties!"

"Good good!"

After Director Qi calmed down, he immediately realized something was amiss. All the benefits Hu Zhenhua had promised were conditional, and getting them wasn't easy. In the past, back in Shanghai, he'd made numerous promises, but they were all just illusions, beyond his reach.

"Zhenhua, when you say you're determined to innovate, to what extent do you want to achieve this?"

Hu Zhenhua held up four fingers and said,

"It's very simple, just four words: enough food and warm clothing! Simple, right? This is the basic need of the people. If a regime can't do this, it will only have one result: it will be abandoned by the people!"

This condition may sound simple at first glance, but it actually involves many issues, such as land reform, food production, employment, social assistance agencies, tax redistribution, etc.

But you can't say that this condition is high. Food and clothing are basic human needs.

Qi Shuhuan pondered for a long time and said,

"Okay, I'll convince the higher-ups to accept this condition, but before that, could TA Company increase its investment in Dongfan Island?"

"Yes, although TA company is developing the European and American markets, no matter how difficult it is, I will squeeze out an investment of 2 million US dollars within the next year."

"Dongfan Island Market will definitely not let you down!"

Old Hu was very happy. It was clearly his intention to invest, but now he was invited by Director Qi. This would give him an advantage in obtaining preferential conditions.

Hu Zhenhua held Qi Shuhuan's hand and lowered his voice.

"Brother Qi, I have something I hope you'll consider: The Secret Service has no future, so why not take advantage of the nuclear power plant to withdraw? The Bureau can have countless directors, but there's only one person in charge of the nuclear energy program. If you can't bear to let him go, you can appoint a deputy director to be in charge of other aspects of the Bureau!"

Lao Hu suddenly thought of something and said,

"Brother Qi, how about you give this plan a name?"

Qi Shuhuan felt relieved after hearing this. He thought for a moment and said frankly without any hesitation,

"Thunder roars across thousands of miles, its might shakes the universe and shakes the four seas! This plan is called Thunder. How do you like it?"

Hu Zhenhua gave a thumbs up and praised,

"Brother Qi, I just thought it was some great poet standing next to me!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hu Zhenhua rolled his eyes and continued,

"Brother Qi, the nuclear energy company is fully funded by TA Company. You only need to provide the personnel. For the sake of confidentiality, I don't think it's necessary to tell the participants our true intentions. Once they have learned the skills, you can secretly gather them together to conduct relevant research! Also, it would be best if you could send a few experts over to prevent us from being looked down upon by the Gentlemen's Country!"

"You're right. A good plan should be broken down into several parts and executed by different people."

Hu Zhenhua raised his head and looked into Qi Shuhuan's eyes.

"Brother Qi, TA Company has never known about the Thunder Project. I only develop nuclear power plants. You understand what I mean, right?"

The advantage of doing this is that if something goes wrong, TA's company will not be involved.

This move was exactly what Qi Shuhuan had in mind. This way, all the credit would fall on him. He then reported back: "I heard that TA Company was planning to develop a nuclear power plant. I decided to capitalize on this opportunity and cultivate relevant talent. To this end, I have formulated the Thunder Plan..."
