Finally seeing the mission location, Zhuo Fei immediately licked his lips a little impatiently, and asked James, "Sir, I want to confirm that the mission location has been specified in this contract is North Africa, can I ask what this means?" You know, the Independence Army is not an armored force, and I don't know what the purpose of transferring a purely infantry unit to North Africa is? Zhuo Fei's words sent a chill through James's heart, saying that if your Independence Army can be regarded as a pure infantry unit, then what are some planes and long-range weapons?

"Mr. Zhuo, the British Empire does not require you to transfer all the independent troops to North Africa to fight, we will not directly send an infantry unit to North Africa." James's words were plain, but Zhuo Fei had already heard the intentions of the British government. Sure enough, just as Zhuo Fei thought, James continued, "We know that the U.S. government has provided hundreds of fighters to the Umbrella Company, and the Umbrella Company also has a long-range firepower covering weapon, Southeast Asia is mostly jungles, and I think in the next battle of the Independence Army, the utilization rate of aircraft and long-range weapons will not be very high." ”

"Hehe" Zhuo Fei, who understood the meaning of James's words, suddenly laughed, daring to love the British's idea of fighting those American planes and long-range rocket artillery. "Sir James, I think your government may be mistaken, the Umbrella Company is a mercenary company, but we also have the right to refuse the client's employment when they choose us. Sir James, you must understand that the reason why the U.S. government supported those planes for us was because we were hired by the U.S. government to carry out containment activities against the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, and it was impossible for the Umbrella Company to use the weapons and equipment provided by the U.S. government to help Britain fight the war. ”

Zhuo Fei's refusal did not make James angry, but instead took out a document with a smile and handed it to Zhuo Fei, "Mr. Zhuo, what you are worried about has already been thought of by the British Cabinet before I left London. This is a power of attorney signed by President Roosevelt and unanimously agreed by the U.S. Congress, and from now on, the employment contract between your umbrella company and the U.S. government has been changed, and the employer has been changed from the U.S. government to the British government. In other words, the Americans transferred the employment contract to the British government. ”

Zhuo Fei stretched out his hand to take the document handed by James and read it carefully, but then threw it aside, "I'm sorry, Mr. James, the umbrella company is not a commercial company in some sense, we are a mercenary company." Compared with the arbitrary transfer of employment contracts by the U.S. government, Umbrella has the same internal regulations and systems, and once an employer arbitrarily transfers an employment contract or discloses the relevant affairs of Umbrella without the consent of Umbrella Company, Umbrella Company will unilaterally terminate the contract. ”

Concerned about James's changed face at all, Zhuo Fei got up and stood up, and finally said to James before leaving, "Sir, I think your government must not have carefully inquired about some of the rights enjoyed as an employee, that is, the umbrella company, before obtaining the transfer contract from the US government, right?" Please go back and tell those careerists in your government that the umbrella company is not your cannon fodder force, and if you want to force the umbrella company to comply, please show your strength. ”

"Zhuo, we're friends, man, I really don't know about the government's transfer of employment contracts." General Pierce, who later learned about this, immediately found Zhuo Fei, and after apologizing, General Pierce provided Zhuo Fei with information that was not very new. "I guess the government's transfer of the employment contract will have something to do with the war in the Philippines, the government signed the employment contract with you in the first place to contain the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, I heard that MacArthur has gone to Australia with the troops withdrawn from the Philippines, do you think this matter will have anything to do with him?"

The news provided by General Pierce reminded Zhuo Fei, and he hurriedly exchanged a few words with General Pierce, and Zhuo Fei, who returned to the headquarters, summoned his staff to discuss the matter. The U.S. government would suddenly transfer the employment contract to the British, which was not expected by everyone present, because Pierce came to West Malaysia this time, and still brought more than 100 fighters to the Independence Army as usual, since the U.S. government had already transferred the employment contract to the British, why did it send Pierce to escort the fighters to the umbrella?

This question puzzled everyone, including Zhuo Fei, he would not think that the Americans were compensated for the discovery of conscience to the umbrella company. "Boss, I think the reason why the U.S. government made such decisions and moves may be due to the influence of Germany, and once Germany and the Soviet Union start fighting, the war will continue to expand. The Americans, who were busy dealing with the invaders, now had no time to fight in Europe, perhaps they thought that the Umbrella could take their place in the process, or perhaps they thought that the Umbrella Company could be their agent. ”

The words of his staff made Zhuo Fei immediately fall into deep thought, the Japanese army continued to increase troops on the American continent, and with the help of the Mexican army that cooperated in the battle, the territory seized by the Japanese army in the western United States tended to expand more and more. The Americans who are interested in participating in European affairs, but the Americans who are already on fire in their own backyards will naturally lose the opportunity to enter the market, and bother Baal to drag the Soviets into this war, but the Americans cannot sit idly by and watch the Soviet Union take the opportunity to become bigger.

"When did our umbrella company become a sweetheart?" Although one-sided speculation is not necessarily correct, Zhuo Fei has already deduced a general answer from various signs. The U.S. government regards the Umbrella Company as an opportunity and agent to participate in international affairs, while the British regard the Umbrella Company as real cannon fodder, and the British hope to send the Japanese Independence Army to North Africa to fight the German army to the death.

"If we don't go to North Africa, not to mention that now is not the best time, with our little aircraft and armored forces, we will not be the opponent of the German army at all." Zhuo Fei finally made a decision, and the staff had no objections. "The Japanese will not come to harass us for the time being, so we must use this time to recuperate, and before the next arrival of the Japanese army, we must become stronger, otherwise we will fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army."

Because of Zhuo Fei's toughness, the umbrella company ignored the olive branch extended by the British government, and James, as a special envoy, returned in vain, and Pierce, who repeatedly emphasized that it had nothing to do with this matter, was immediately called to the Ministry of Defense to participate in the war analysis meeting after returning to the United States. "Mr. President, Zhuo Fei did not express his hostility towards us, but he made it clear that the employment contract between the U.S. government and the umbrella company has been nullified. If the U.S. government needs the services of umbrella companies in the future, it will have to sign a new employment contract. ”

"Hmph, the umbrella company is not polite." Roosevelt was speechless by Pierce's account, and Congress would not have agreed to the transfer of the employment contract with the Umbrella Company to the British if it were not for the strong demand of the congressmen who represented the interests of the major conglomerates. In fact, when Roosevelt signed the transfer of the contract, he had already thought about how the umbrella company would react, but when this answer came, Roosevelt's heart rose with a faint sense of loss.

Although Roosevelt was the president of the United States, he had no way to stop Congress and those lawless members of Congress, but he knew that this matter would never end like this, at least the British who obtained the contract transfer would definitely not rest on their laurels. Of course, the British government, which has not been recognized by Zhuo Fei, cannot give up, in order to get the employment contract signed by the umbrella company and the US government, the British government can be said to have paid a lot, but they did not expect that what they spent a lot of effort to get did not come in handy.

The Umbrella Company rose to prominence in South Asia, fighting the British, the Japanese, and the indigenous armies of South Asian countries, all of which the Independence Army never lost. The British had troops in India, but the British troops in India were busy clearing out the Japanese troops who had crossed the Indo-Burmese border, and they could not deal with the independence army at all. Moreover, the British government also wanted the Independence Army to be their vanguard, in a sense, the British government wanted to be in league with the umbrella rather than an enemy.

Since they couldn't go to the trouble of the umbrella company, the British government turned to the US government, which made them laugh, especially the MPs who had received benefits from them in the first place. In order to deal with the British, and in order to make up for the possible losses on their side, these MPs who only have the word profit in their minds have their eyes on Carr Pharmaceutical.

The boss of Carl Pharmaceuticals is Angela's uncle Andy, but most people in Congress know that this Carl Pharmaceuticals is actually the property of the umbrella company, and the congressmen are eyeing Carl Pharmaceuticals, on the one hand, for the amazing interests of Carl Pharmaceuticals, and on the other hand, for the sake of using Carl Pharmaceuticals to warn disobedient umbrella companies.

Andy didn't care about the impatience of Congress, "Hehe, I don't worry about these things, if they want Carl Pharmaceutical, then come and take it." If there is a problem with Carl Pharmaceuticals, Umbrella will not cooperate or contact the U.S. government in any way in the future, and if I am in danger, Umbrella will support Japan's military action against the American continent. In other words, neither I nor Carl Pharmaceuticals can have problems, otherwise the United States will face endless anger and trouble. ”

Andy's reason why he is so calm is because of the strong performance of the Independence Army in Southeast Asia, and Andy does not believe that no one in Congress sees the potential of the umbrella company. Those greedy members of Congress are more cunning than foxes, and they can't ignore the existence of the Umbrella Corporation, and in short, as long as the Umbrella Corporation is still around, Andy will not be afraid of any forces or individuals.
