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

Chapter 528 You will offend people if you write like this!

Kaspersky said with concern,

"We are a brother nation. Your difficulties are our difficulties. If necessary, we can provide a loan immediately!"

Brunei was overjoyed and gave a long speech of brotherly gratitude, then said,

"Thank you. We need a loan of 2 million USD, 5 million of which will be used to purchase arms and the rest for industrial equipment!"

As he spoke, Brunei took out a list involving more than 30 items including metallurgy, insulation materials, motors, alloys, carbon, boilers, etc.

Kaspersky took the document, nodded slightly, and said,

"No problem, but I have a small suggestion. I hope we can build that heavy-haul railway!"

Brunei's expression froze for a moment, but then returned to normal. While the higher-ups might agree to Hu Zhenhua's construction, they absolutely wouldn't agree to the Russians. These guys were too overbearing. If they were allowed to extend their influence into the Beijing-Tianjin area, the consequences would be disastrous.

But Brunei couldn't refuse openly, so he thought about it and said,

"Do you understand the conditions we proposed to TA Company?"

"I understand. They'll provide all the funds and give up 70% of the shares, but they won't distribute any dividends until they've recovered their costs. We can accept this condition!"

Brunei shook his head and said,

"In addition to this, there is another condition, that is, all employees must be Chinese nationals, and we must vet every one of them!"

The smile on Kaspersky's face suddenly froze. If this was the case, there would be no political benefit at all. If we only considered the economic aspects, it would be very unprofitable!

TA is trying to recover its debts, but what is the Russian bear trying to do? Isn't it political strings attached?

Brunei saw the other party's expression, and he felt relieved and said with a smile,

"Capitalism wants to take advantage of us. How can this be possible!"

"hehe!"

Kaspersky laughed it off and didn't mention the matter anymore, but instead talked about the situation.

"Mr. Wen, what do you think about the conflict between Xie Zhiyu and the gentleman?"

Brunei stared at the map and said lightly,

"We believe this is a double act between the two of them. On the one hand, it's to paralyze us and cover up their sneak attack plan. On the other hand, the Gentleman Country can take this opportunity to increase its troops!"

Kaspersky made the same judgment and asked casually,

"The situation in the south is not optimistic. How will you respond?"

Brunei took a big puff of cigarette and said domineeringly,

"No matter how many ways they come, I'll only go one way. To sum it up, it can be summed up in one word: fight! Imperialism is nothing to be afraid of. In April, we dared to attack their warships, and now we still dare to attack their army!"

Kaspersky felt better. This new country had no navy. If they had a conflict with the foreigners, they would have to rely on Russia. Then they could take the initiative in the negotiations for the ice-free port!

Good thing!

"Mr. Wen, I will report your loan needs and requirements immediately!"

"Thank you!"

……

At the Jitoushan Command Center, Xie Zhiyu received a report from He Xiaoming.

"Home! Home! I'm Tai Sui. I've spotted enemy anti-aircraft guns, but they're heavily defended. A surprise attack would likely result in heavy casualties. Requesting artillery support!"

Xie Zhiyu immediately looked at the staff and asked,

"Where are our two self-propelled artillery batteries located? Can they provide support?"

Chief of Staff Wu Heng hurriedly asked about the location of the self-propelled artillery, and immediately said after getting the answer,

"We can provide support!"

A few minutes later, the target area was covered by firepower, and the anti-aircraft gun that Foster had been thinking about was blown into a pile of parts!

In fact, that anti-aircraft gun was originally just a pile of spare parts, which the comrades picked up from the Soviet Union!

There are many similar parts scattered all over the battlefield!

Waste is just a treasure placed in the wrong place!

Hu Zhenhua was dozing off when suddenly a cheer came from the headquarters. Hu Zhenhua opened his eyes, a little confused, and asked,

"what's going on?"

Foster said excitedly,

"Zengcheng has been captured, and the gates of Yangcheng are wide open! The vanguard is attacking Conghua!"

Hu Zhenhua smiled and cheered with everyone.

Guangzhou has diverse terrain, with mountainous areas in the north, low and medium mountains in the northeast, hills and plateaus in the middle, and the alluvial plain of the Pearl River Delta in the south.

Topography dictates defensive deployment, so Guangzhou's primary defenses lie northeast of Zengcheng and Conghua, where mountainous terrain can delay attackers. Zengcheng, serving as a barrier to the east, is a key defensive area. Conghua, a mountainous region to the northeast with complex terrain, is also heavily fortified.

If these two areas are lost, the relatively flat terrain in the south will not be able to stop the armored forces' charge!

From now on, Lao Xie can eat whatever he wants!

Just when everyone was excited, a request for reinforcement came from the front line. Everyone hurried back to their respective posts and made arrangements in a tense and orderly manner!

After about half an hour, Xie Zhiyu suddenly ordered to stop the attack and focus on consolidating the existing occupied areas!

Hu Zhenhua lit a cigarette to refresh himself and asked in confusion,

"The situation is very good now, why stop it?"

Foster shrugged and said helplessly,

"We are short on manpower and the remaining enemy forces in the rear have not yet been eliminated. If the enemy counterattacks from the main urban area of ​​Yangcheng, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hu Zhenhua shook his head and sighed,

"What a shame! If the Security Corps had a few more armored battalions, Conghua would have been taken today! Once the enemy is well prepared, it will be difficult to attack again!"

Henry felt the same way, but he didn't say anything.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lao Xie will receive a large amount of aid again!

Stanley, a reporter from the Associated Press, was very excited. Hu Zhenhua had promised to give him first-hand information, and he had indeed kept his word!

The guy sat in the corner, his typewriter clacking away. Stanley wanted to send back the first-hand information and publish it in the American evening paper.

With this news, promotion and salary increase are just around the corner!

He wrote in a telegram:

"I used to be confused as to why Chiang's army suffered a series of defeats. But when I compared it with General Xie's army, I understood. To Chiang, officers and soldiers were two different species. Officers were masters, and soldiers were slaves!

General Xie's troops are all new recruits who have been in the army for only a few months. The secret of their continuous victories is very simple. It can be summed up as follows: respect the soldiers and ensure fair logistics!

It's that simple! "

After reading what he wrote, Hu Zhenhua shook his head and advised,

"Stanley, you'll offend people if you write like that! Although Jiang is corrupt, he's still a member of the free world. We should consider the overall situation!"

Stanley shook his head and said firmly,

"I am a journalist. Reporting truthfully is a basic professional ethics!"

Hu Zhenhua rolled his eyes. What a bullshit professional ethics! Why didn’t you report the last incident involving foreigners?

Isn't that double standards!

Henry came over, patted Lao Hu on the shoulder, and said with a smile,

"Hu, the people have freedom of speech, so you should stop interfering. Let's go check on Alande. I heard he's been ranting all night!"

Hu Zhenhua shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile,

"All right!"
