Chapter 85: The Game (4)

"Mr. President, this is all the information that the Umbrella Company can make public, as of now, the mercenary force of the Umbrella Company has exceeded 300,000 troops, and if you count the servant troops they have recruited from Myanmar and Thailand, the total strength will be close to 800,000. If such an army could serve the U.S. government in Asia, I think Congress would be able to devote more of its forces to home defense, given that our west coast is being invaded by Japanese monkeys. ”

Andy's words were filled with pride, who would have thought that the young man who came to the United States with only a dozen people a few years ago would struggle for such a situation and strength. Andy is also proud of his vision, if he hadn't taken the umbrella line in the first place, he might still be a third-rate businessman in New York City, rather than the world's leading pharmaceutical tycoon.

Roosevelt did not perceive the pride in Andy's voice, all his attention was deeply attracted by the information in his hand, and what he never expected was that this umbrella company in Asia would have such great courage to not only build a city but also form a mercenary force of hundreds of thousands in just a few years. "Andy, can I know what's next for Umbrella?" Looking through the information, Roosevelt finally asked a question of his concern.

"Mr. President, this is the main reason why I will come up with this information." Andy smiled at Roosevelt. "In fact, the Umbrella Company's mercenary units are not only hired by Jewish organizations, they are also temporarily hired by descendants of Burmese and Thai royalty, which is the main reason why the Umbrella Company's mercenary units attack Myanmar and Thailand. After I received the telegram from the United States from the Umbrella Company, I looked carefully at the map, and I found that Thailand and Malay are bordering, so I wondered if the Umbrella Company continued to attack Malay in the south, would it attract the Japanese troops attacking the Philippines to retreat to Malaysia. ”

Andy's words hit Roosevelt's heart like a hammer, and he hurriedly beckoned someone to bring a map of Asia to open, and when Roosevelt, who was holding a magnifying glass, looked at the map carefully, the resentment that had been stuck in Roosevelt's heart instantly dissipated. "That's right, Andy, you're right. Once the mercenary forces of the Umbrella Company continue to attack Malay in the south, perhaps the Japanese army that attacked the Philippines at the beginning will not react, but once Singapore is threatened, the Japanese army in the Philippines will definitely look back to Malay, because the Japanese cannot afford to lose control of the Strait of Malacca. ”

Roosevelt's face was full of joy and could not escape Andy's eyes, and Andy, who was smiling secretly in his heart, said, "Mr. President, you are right, I think so too. The Japanese army mobilized heavy forces to attack the Philippines, and we could not support the Philippines for the time being, but we could put pressure on the Japanese troops in the Philippines through the mercenary units of the Umbrella Company, forcing them to withdraw their forces and return to Singapore. Either way, at least we're doing it to give our boys who are struggling in the Philippines a little bit of relief. ”

Reaching an agreement with Roosevelt's idea also made the conversation between Andy and Roosevelt much more harmonious, coupled with Andy's intentional pandering, the meeting between Roosevelt and Andy lasted until the early hours of the morning. Andy, who returned to his residence, did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a telegram to Zhuo Fei in Thailand, this telegram that was obviously not in the mouth of the horse, if translated, would become a hidden poem, and the meaning of it was only four words - the fish has entered the urn.

After Andy's efforts, President Roosevelt was already very moved by Henry 61 Lewis 61 Stimson's proposal, and after a deep talk with Andy, Roosevelt and the next day held another high-level government meeting, and Andy, as an agent of the umbrella company, was also invited to attend the meeting. "Gentlemen, this is Mr. Andy Robin, the American agent of the umbrella company, if anyone does not know him, I think you should be familiar with Carl Pharmaceuticals, Mr. Andy Robin happens to be the chairman of Carl Pharmaceuticals." Before the meeting began, Roosevelt personally introduced Andy to the crowd, and Andy also behaved very calmly.

"At yesterday's congressional meeting, our Secretary of War Mr. Henry Lewis 61 Stimson proposed that a second theater should be opened in Asia to contain the Japanese army as much as possible, and then Mr. Henry 61 Lewis 61 Stimson thought that we would recommend a mercenary force currently active in Asia. Of course, we all know by now that this mercenary unit, which has successively defeated the Japanese army in Burma and Thailand, belongs to the Umbrella Company. The focus of our meeting today is to evaluate the Umbrella Company as to whether we need to hire it to carry out operations to contain the Japanese in Asia on our behalf. ”

At Roosevelt's signal, the chamberlain handed out the document to everyone present, except for Roosevelt himself, only Andy knew the contents of the document. "This is an Umbrella Company document, and although some parts of the information are a bit vague, the mercenary unit that we should be interested in is very detailed. I would say that a mercenary force composed almost entirely of Europeans, for us in the United States, there are no communication difficulties, and most of the top management of the umbrella company are Europeans. ”

Roosevelt's words were actually very tendentious, and his words were even more unabashedly showing his interest in the umbrella company, and only Andy smiled knowingly in the audience, and it seemed that his efforts last night were not in vain. The document issued by Roosevelt was quickly read by everyone, and the question that immediately came was immediately raised, "Mr. President, although the mercenary units of the Umbrella Company defeated the Japanese army in Burma and Thailand in succession, they were only facing a small number of Japanese troops at that time. Moreover, the source of this information has yet to be confirmed, and I would like to say that such a mercenary force, whose strength we do not yet know, is worthy of our trust? ”

Squinting at the participants who were questioning at this time, Roosevelt nodded at Andy and said, "That's why I specially invited Mr. Andy to attend this meeting today, he is the agent of the Umbrella Company in the Americas, and I think only Mr. Andy has the most say in the situation of the Umbrella Company." ”

After receiving Roosevelt's signal, Andy laughed before he could speak, and after coughing a few times, Andy said, "A few years ago, the Umbrella Company was just a small company with more than a dozen people, but in just four years, the Umbrella Company has developed into a giant multinational company with more than 300,000 employees. ”

"The Umbrella Company has built a city in the southwestern border of China, a city that belongs to the Umbrella Company, and it is a modern city, and as long as there are European countries, they will have them." As he spoke, Andy, with a smile on his face, took out a stack of photos and distributed them to everyone, and those who had seen the photos were all surprised and unbelievable by the contents of the photos. "That's right, the photos are about that city, and they prove that the city that Umbrella built is a modern city."

showed everyone the photos that recorded the changes in Ruili, Andy took out another stack of photos and sent them to everyone, this time the content of the photos has changed, no longer the content of recording the changes in the city, but some photos of the independent army training. "This is the mercenary unit of the Umbrella Company, and more than eight soldiers are Jewish, and these Jewish soldiers come from various European countries, most of them from Germany, and of course, there are also Jewish soldiers from the United States who have volunteered to join this mercenary unit."

Andy's third photo has changed again, this time the content of the photo has been changed to cold weapons and equipment, "The Umbrella Company has transferred at least 2 million Jews from Europe, and many of them have joined the Umbrella Company's military base to engage in military production, but due to the lack of machinery and equipment, the Umbrella Company's military base is not yet able to meet the daily needs of the mercenary force." However, in terms of the quality of the soldiers, the mercenaries of the umbrella company are definitely no worse than the Japanese army, and their record in Burma and Thailand can already show this. ”

According to Roosevelt's idea, Andy introduced the Umbrella Company and the Independence Army from various aspects, and by the time Andy finished his speech, everyone attending the meeting had a general understanding of the unfamiliar Umbrella Company. Deciding whether or not to hire the Umbrella Company to fight the Japanese in Asia instead of the U.S. military was the main topic of today's meeting, and it was also a government decision that Roosevelt had to make before Congress could be convened.

"To be honest, I don't want the United States to have anything to do with a mercenary force, but the situation doesn't allow us to hesitate. While the mainland is under attack by the Japanese army, let's not forget that in the distant Philippines, tens of thousands of American children are still in the middle of a bitter war. If we don't help them in time, their defeat is only a matter of time, and losing the Philippines is nothing to the United States now, but we can't ignore the children who are fighting hard for the United States in the Philippines. ”

Roosevelt's control of the government was unquestionable, and with the timely beating of the side drum by Henry 61 Lewis 61 Stimson as Secretary of the Army, and Roosevelt's patient persuasion, the congregation quickly agreed to contact members of Congress to support Roosevelt's proposal. "Mr. President, you have made a wise choice, and the umbrella will prove that your efforts today will not be in vain." Before parting, Andy, who was determined in his heart, did not forget to praise Roosevelt again.
