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

Chapter 530 Armored Combat

As soon as Hu Zhenhua returned to Lixiang Garden, he was notified that Qi Shuhuan had arrived. This guy also had dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't sleep well either!

Last night, I don’t know how many people couldn’t sleep.

As soon as both parties sat down, Qi Shuhuan couldn't wait to say,

"Zhenhua, because of the conflict at Huanggang Port, the Gentleman Country has put a lot of pressure on us. Can you give us some advice?"

In name, Xie Zhiyu was still under the leadership of Baldy. In the past, that guy would have tried every possible means to control Xie Zhiyu, but now the situation had deteriorated to such an extent that Baldy's spirit was almost broken. Moreover, Baldy was afraid that Dongfan Island would be attacked by paratroopers, so he was busy repairing his turtle shell and had no time to care about Old Xie.

Of course, Baldy also wanted to use Xie Zhiyu to attract fire and buy time for himself.

Hu Zhenhua casually lay on the sofa, pulled a blanket over himself, yawned and said,

"Don't worry. Didn't you ask me before if the Spark Plan was still possible? Now is the perfect opportunity. The foreigners are furious and are planning to send more troops! Brother Qi, don't worry. Henry is here, so there's no chance of a fight!"

Qi Shuhuan was puzzled and asked,

"Which Henry?"

"Who else could it be? An assistant to the U.S. National Security Council!"

Qi Shuhuan suddenly sat up straight, with a look of resentment on his face, and said sourly,

"Zhenhua, we've become estranged. You didn't even tell me about such an important situation!"

"Didn't I tell you? This is top secret. If you leak it, our friendship will be over!"

Qi Shuhuan's eyes rolled around, he thought for a while and asked,

"Can I visit Mr. Henry?"

Hu Zhenhua immediately sat up, scowled coldly, and shouted,

"I told you it's top secret! You're an intelligence officer, don't you know what top secret means? He's the only one who can decide who he wants to see. If I just bring you over there so brazenly, what will Henry think? He'll think Hu Zhenhua is a loose-lipped person and unfit for such a big job!"

Qi Shuhuan saw that Lao Hu was angry, so he quickly poured him some tea and said with a smile,

"Zhenhua, I just said it casually. I will never make things difficult for you. If it doesn't work, forget it!"

Seeing that Hu Zhenhua still had a sour face, he punched him lightly and said with a smile,

"What's the relationship between us brothers? Why are you still angry?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand, lay down on the sofa again, and said lightly,

"Brother Qi, didn't I tell you that you should only be responsible for the Jinglei Project? This is the foundation of your livelihood. Dongfan Island is a complete mess right now. If you're not careful, you could capsize. The Jinglei Project can be implemented for the next 10 to 20 years. With this plan, no matter how strong the wind and waves are, you can sit back and relax!"

Qi Shuhuan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile,

"The Crown Prince holds me in high regard. As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his friend. It is my responsibility to share the Crown Prince's worries. Zhenhua, didn't you tell me to cultivate a good relationship with the Crown Prince?"

Hu Zhenhua glanced at him sideways, then looked away and slowly closed his eyes.

Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. You have to wait until your time to be greedy for power, or you will cry later.

Qi Shuhuan saw that Lao Hu was about to go to sleep and asked hurriedly,

"I heard that TA Group is planning several more arsenals. Can they be located on Dongfan Island?"

Hu Zhenhua said calmly without even thinking,

"Sure! Brother Qi, what's our relationship? If you need any help from me, just ask directly. No need to beat around the bush! I, Hu Zhenhua, will never refuse a hand!"

These factories were prepared for the Korean War, with the goal of cutting off Japan's national destiny. For this reason, Lao Hu would rather leave the benefits to the reactionaries. After all, no matter how much they quarrel, they are all of the same origin.

Lao Hu deliberately spread the news in order to let the reactionaries come to him on their own initiative so that he could get the most favorable conditions.

Qi Shuhuan was overjoyed when he got Lao Hu's approval. After saying some embarrassing words, he asked,

"I heard you're going to build a large-scale refining center. I wonder if that's possible?"

Hu Zhenhua didn't wait for him to finish and said with a smile,

"can!"

In later generations, Xinjiapo took the path of refining and chemical processing on behalf of others. It is the third largest refining and chemical processing center in the world and has an important say in the pricing of refined oil products.

Qi Shuhuan laughed heartily and said,

"TA Group's newly planned steel mill, automobile industry, and shipyard, are they okay?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, go talk to Atlan. I agree in principle!"

Qi Shuhuan laughed heartily and continued,

"Zhenhua, I know you're tired. One last question. General Xie's intelligence capabilities are somewhat weak. Zhang Keqin reported to me that they've discovered that many officers in the Security Corps are entangled with the underground party. I'm worried..."

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Brother Qi, the Security Corps has the support of the Far East Intelligence Bureau. Why are you bothering with this? If you do a good job, there's no reward, and if something goes wrong, you'll have to take the blame. It's a thankless job! Besides, your Secret Service has been infiltrated like a sieve. If they find any important intelligence, can you keep it safe?"

Qi Shuhuan was speechless. How could the Bureau of Secrets' minor intelligence failures have formed such a fixed impression on everyone? Sieve, sieve, sieve! Why don't the Bureau of Secrets change its business and start selling sieves?

But he can't confront Lao Hu!

As for why I worry, it's for power, of course! Power over power, power over power. Only by handling affairs can you gain the corresponding power. The director's health is not very good. If he wants to succeed, he must make achievements. How can I not worry!

"Zhenhua, for the cause of freedom, each of us should contribute our own strength!"

Hu Zhenhua turned over and said lightly,

"You want to extend the secret service's hand to the security team? Go find Xie Zhiyu yourself. I won't get involved!"

Before Qi Shuhuan could say anything, Hu Zhenhua started snoring.

Lan Shian walked in and respectfully asked Director Qi to leave.

When Lao Hu sleeps, he never allows outsiders to get close to him. This is to prevent outsiders from hearing what he shouldn’t say in his dreams!

……

At daybreak, a terrifying artillery battle erupted in Conghua! Smoke from the explosions, along with thick smoke from the burning forests, obscured the entire sky, making it impossible for reconnaissance aircraft to film.

At the Jitoushan Command Center, Hao Dapao's loud voice reached everyone's ears.

"Oh my god! There are tunnels dug by the enemy here in advance, and they suddenly appeared behind me!"

The deafening shouts and cries of killing from the front line could be heard through the walkie-talkie, and the roars of machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, and tank guns were deafening!

Xie Zhiyu's calm voice made everyone feel a little relieved.

"Build a position right here, I'll send people to support you!"

"Yes!"

Less than two minutes later, Hao Dapao's voice rang out again.

"There are tunnels everywhere! They can even throw grenades down the barrels of guns! What the hell is that? They're firing mortars at tanks! Damn it!"

"We're being attacked closely, and the ground is full of holes and craters. We can't take advantage of our armor at all!"

Xie Zhiyu stared at the sand table for more than ten seconds and shouted,

"There's a ridge 600 meters to your left. I'll order the artillery to flood the area, and you break out from there!"

Wu Heng immediately reminded,

"The slope of Hill 83 is over degrees, so tanks and armored vehicles can't climb it!"

Xie Zhiyu stared at Wu Heng for a few seconds and said firmly,

"Hao Dapao, you can discard all technical equipment if necessary. I want you to bring the people back safely!"

"Yes!"
