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

Wan Yumin is undoubtedly a logistics expert with a wide range of connections. Under his "guidance", many down-and-out dignitaries decided to go to Irian Island to make a living!

Although the conditions in that hellish place are harsh, there are a large number of compatriots gathered together, so it is safe!

On October 10, Aland, the assistant to the White Governor, came to visit.

Old Hu spread the word that he wanted to build an expo venue. Alande received the news and came to test the waters. Of course, he was not here for the venue, but to see if he could discuss with Hu Zhenhua and cooperate with Bao'an County to provide defense.

Although Xie Zhiyu is the county magistrate, everyone knows who is the head of the family here.

Alande did not come empty-handed, he brought with him more than a dozen precious works of art.

Wang Cuicui and An Lan buy antiques in the market all day long. Anyone with a common sense will know what to give as a gift!

Hu Zhenhua was a little depressed. There was a strong storm last night and he was almost drained of energy. But when he saw the gift from Alande, he immediately became energetic again.

When the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the capital, they looted countless valuable things. The most precious of them were in the hands of the foreign nobles.

Copper-based cloisonné enamel qilin, "Yushan Forest and Valley", Qianlong's large jade mountain...

The artistic value of these things is far beyond the reach of the twelve zodiac animal heads that were later hyped up to sky-high prices.

Hu Zhenhua doesn’t understand art, but there are people who do!

Old He Zhiqiu, deputy curator of Jinxiu Palace, was observing the "Yushan Forest and Valley Picture" inch by inch with a magnifying glass. Wang Cuicui was staring at the imperial powder-green glaze jar with relief dragon pattern. An Lan was more interested in jade and was staring at the large jade mountain carved from a whole piece of seed material.

Many master craftsmen in Jinxiu Palace are identifying other treasures.

Although Aland felt pain, he also knew the importance of the gift. From the expression on Lao Hu's face, he knew that this gift touched the latter's heart, which was a good start.

Hu Zhenhua stared at the cultural relics and suddenly said,

"Mr. Alande, I understand your intentions. I've decided to build the exhibition hall at the junction of Bao'an County and the Xiangjiang River. You'll allocate 3000 acres of land to me free of charge, and Bao'an County will provide 7000 acres. I want to build the world's largest exhibition hall!"

Hu Zhenhua wanted such a large area not just to build an exhibition hall, but also to build a series of supporting facilities such as hotels, food streets, amusement parks, shopping centers, warehouses, etc.

The initial investment in an exhibition hall may be very high, but once it is built, the annual income from renting the exhibition hall alone will be enough to support the company!

However, we cannot do this alone. It would be better to involve Baoan County and Xiangjiang in investing and tie ourselves up with the local government so that we can go long-term!

Alande was not angry at Lao Hu's exorbitant asking price. Instead, he felt a little happy in his heart. Compared with the entire Hong Kong, a mere 3000 acres of land was nothing.

"Mr. Hu, there's no problem with the land. What I want to know is what you think of the future of Bao'an County?"

“The road is tortuous, but the future is bright!”

"hehe!"

Alande picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

Everyone knows that after war comes peace. The storm is coming, and what Alande wants to know is the attitude of the north.

"Mr. Hu, I have an idea. Can our two families jointly defend and protect each other?"

Hu Zhenhua laughed. What the foreigners were best at was dragging others down with them. During the Anti-Japanese War, Fatty Qiu tricked the authorities into sending troops to fight against Japan. As a result, the national army fought fiercely and the foreigners ran away. The result was that the national army's retreat was cut off and countless loyal souls were buried in the Savage Mountain!

Now, they want to take advantage of Hu Zhenhua again!

In that case, don't blame me for playing along with them!

Lao Hu thought about it and said,

"I personally think we can't win by fighting! However, we still need to prepare in advance. Only when we have the strength to fight will the other side be willing to sit down at the negotiation table! Bao'an County has 2 elite soldiers. A large number of people have poured in in recent months, so recruiting another 3 is no problem at all. You also have 5 ready. If we gather an army of 10, we will have a strong force!"

Alande didn't expect the trip to be so smooth, but the 10 troops mentioned by Hu Zhenhua really made things difficult for him.

In February this year, two newspapers in Hong Kong that had close ties with the red faction published public articles stating that the New Democratic Revolution did not involve Hong Kong and would not list Hong Kong as a target for liquidation, implying the red faction's intention to maintain the status quo and ensure Hong Kong's safety.

If the Whites rashly increase their troops and arm themselves, their hostility will be too obvious and will anger the Reds.

On the other hand, foreigners don't have this ability either.

Politically, increasing troops would spark widespread criticism and be accused of undermining peace.

Militarily, Hong Kong is not conducive to defense. Moreover, the current international situation is not optimistic. The strategic focus of the Gentleman State is in Europe and other more strategic regions. Hong Kong is not indispensable to the Gentleman State's global military strategic layout.

Economically, Hong Kong is heavily dependent on the mainland. If the two sides become hostile, its future will be worrying.

Therefore, it is impossible to increase troops!

But Alande couldn't say that, otherwise Lao Hu might just walk away.

Alande said with a smile,

"I will report your suggestion immediately! Let's make it a deal!"

If the higher-ups don’t approve it, it won’t be my fault!

Hu Zhenhua felt uneasy at the firm tone. Things had come to this point and he could not retreat.

"Let's make it a deal. You'll first provide General Xie with equipment for five divisions, and then I'll recruit soldiers after I leave in two days!"

"Five divisions?"

Alande was completely upset. Everyone was chatting happily, so why did you suddenly blackmail me? And in Hu Zhenhua's mouth, it seemed as if it was justified!

Hu Zhenhua moved closer to Alande and said,

"I can't get involved in this, otherwise the Chongming Industrial Zone will be finished! I'll be leaving in a couple of days to avoid suspicion and go on a trip to the Fog City. Xie Zhiyu can let go and do his best. He's best at playing defense! No one is holding us back this time, I'm really looking forward to his performance!"

Alande was not easy to fool, so he asked with a smile,

"Their company has substantial interests in Bao'an County. If a fight breaks out, everything will be destroyed! Are you really willing to do that?"

Hu Zhenhua laughed. She dipped her finger in water and quickly drew a map on the table. She tapped the map of the Magic City and said with a smile,

"That's the secret! Bao'an County is a shining pearl. I don't think anyone would want to destroy it!"

Alande suddenly realized that during the Battle of Magic City, the Red Legion did not use heavy weapons. Why?

Because the devil is a shining pearl!

"Mr. Hu, are you trying to use fighting to force peace?"

Old Hu shook his head.

"I'm a peace-loving businessman who just wants to make a little money. I don't get involved in political matters. Go talk to Xie Zhiyu!"

Alande frowned. If possible, he would rather talk to Hu Zhenhua, because Xie Zhiyu, that young man, did not understand the exchange of interests at all. After the last conflict, the foreigner gave Xie Zhiyu several ways out, but he refused to give in, which made the relationship between the two sides very tense.

After a brief thought, Alande asked,

"If there is no help, will General Xie Zhiyu still hold on?"

"How can he defend himself? He can't fight with bayonets, right?"

Alande took a deep breath and continued,

"As far as I know, TA's warehouse has a large amount of arms!"

Hu Zhenhua grinned and said,

"I told you I can't get involved in this!"

Alande was choked. If you can't participate, do you think we can?

He calmed down and asked,

“What does TA company want to achieve?”

"Of course it's the same status as in Chongming!"

Alande understood. He stood up and said goodbye, ready to go to Xie Zhiyu to discuss the details of the joint defense. After taking two steps, he turned around and asked,

"Actually, if you go directly to the Red side to talk about what you want, you may get it!"

Hu Zhenhua shrugged and said helplessly,

"What you said does make sense, but if I surrender without firing a shot, how can I explain this to a determined fighter like Xie Zhiyu?"

"Got it! Bye!"

"goodbye!"
