Probably due to the urban environment, Clara had a very rare sleep, and it was the first time since she came to the United States that she slept so soundly.

By the time she got up, Chu Tianjiang had already prepared a roasted pheasant, a few boiled wild eggs, and a plate of berries.

"You did this?"

"Of course, I went to the outskirts to get it back." Chu Tianjiang tore off a fat chicken leg and put it on the plate in front of Clara. "Taste, it doesn't taste good, improve next time."

"Well, it tastes good."

"If you like to eat, eat more."

"That's not good, my belly is so big, it's not like you."

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "In the past few days, it seems to be much better?" ”

"yes, I guess I'm used to it."

Chu Tianjiang peeled an egg and put it on Clara's plate. "That's good, otherwise I'll have to carry you back, and I'll have to trouble Lao Zhan."

"So, promise to let me stay."

"I'm not willing to do it."

Clara smiled and said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Wait."

"Wait?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "Although Wild Rose is very thoughtful and polite to us, don't you think that these arrangements she made are to separate us from this city?" Tamarra, who was guarding the door, and the hundred maids, were all staring at us, so that we could not move freely. ”

"This ......"

"Besides, it's not us who is in a hurry now, it's her." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "So, I decided to wait for her to come to us." ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do that."

"For what?"

"Don't forget, your real identity is an agent of the Military Intelligence Agency, and your mission is to unite the Asian American group and lay the groundwork for our army's capture of the western United States."

"Even so, there is no need to rush to him."

"How long do you think Russia's military operation will last?"

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times and looked at Clara.

"Although I had not been to Asia before I met you, the fall of the Moscow authorities will definitely make Russia a mess. In addition, Russia is a vast and sparsely populated country, with most of the population concentrated in the warmer southern regions. So I don't think the military operation in Russia will last long, maybe a few months. After that, military operations in the United States will resume, and if you are really a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Agency with the responsibility of clearing the way for the military, you need to be proactive. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Lao Zhang clearly mentioned that it is best to complete the task within two months, and at most three months. ”

"Obviously, this is related to the actions of our army in Russia."

Chu Tianjiang sighed and understood what Clara meant. If more than three months pass, Chu Tianjiang still has not found the two energy sources hidden in the United States, and he has a relationship with the Asian group, then in order to cover him, the only way is to cooperate with the Asian group, and this is obviously outside of Yang Fanglie's plan, Yang Fanglie may not even know about it, and it will have an adverse impact on military operations in the United States.

"We've been using it up for a month to get here."

"I know it." Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath and said, "In this case, I'll go to Tamara and tell him that I want to see Wild Rose as soon as possible." ”

"That's fine, but you'll have to find someone."

"Who?"

"Lao Zhang's agent left here."

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, and he said, "It stands to reason that he should have taken the initiative to come to us, and Andre didn't meet him when he came here." ”

"Something must have happened."

"This ......"

"If something happens to the liaison, I'm afraid it has something to do with wild roses."

"For what?"

"Don't forget, Wild Rose sent Tamara to Craig Town shortly after we left Las Vegas, is it just a coincidence?"

"Of course not, it's just ......" Chu Tianjiang hesitated for a moment and said, "You're right, maybe she found out our identity through the liaison. ”

"It's just speculation, and it's not sure yet, after all, doing these things doesn't do much good for wild roses."

Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Clara meant. Now that a cooperation agreement has been reached, Wild Rose has no reason to deal with the liaison officers of the Military Intelligence Directorate. Besides, if Wild Rose really did this, there was no reason for her to politely invite Chu Tianjiang and them to Lakewood.

"What are you going to do with Stewart?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, it's a bit of a hassle."

"Are you worried about me?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled, although it was not mainly for Clara, but he did have concerns about this. Whether it was to leave Clara in Lakewood or take her to Houston, Chu Tianjiang felt a little inappropriate, and this made Chu Tianjiang not very willing to go to Houston.

"Husband, I know that you feel sorry for me, but if you really want to stop going to Houston because of me, you might as well send me back."

"Clara ......"

"I'm telling the truth. Well, I don't have anything left now, so I can go to Houston with you. Besides, I feel safest with you. ”

"The thing is, we don't necessarily have to go to Houston."

"I feel like I have to go."

"For what?"

"Even if we work with Wild Rose, if we don't have a trump card in our hands, we may not be able to work together happily, and the Houston Chamber of Commerce is a trump card with a lot of weight. Don't forget, any large secession power has caravans to rely on, and only the big cities have chambers of commerce. Lakewood has the foundation to become a big city, and the Asian-American group has ambitions to replace the Jewish group, and what is lacking happens to be the Chamber of Commerce. If you can convince the Houston Chamber of Commerce to come to Lakewood, I'm sure that no matter who Wild Rose is, he won't underestimate us. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and did not immediately express his position.

"Of course, you have already figured out these truths. I also know that you helped Connie form the legion, and you took in the Fukushima brothers, Samuel and others, and even Jimmy, as well as those slaves, all so that you could have the strength to bargain with Wild Rose when you met her, so as to establish a relatively equal cooperative relationship. You're doing a great job, but what you're doing takes enough time to get results, and it's definitely not going to be done in just a few months. In contrast, courting the Houston Chamber of Commerce is more realistic. ”

"Clara, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"Do you think you're making a lot of money by marrying me?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then Da Lu laughed.

"Don't rejoice too soon." Clara laughed too, "Although I'm not like Nichol now, I spend my days thinking about how to spend my money and buy enough clothes to wear for hundreds of years, but one day, I will make your flesh hurt." When the time comes, don't say anything nonsense that you can't afford to buy. ”

"Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem to raise a few of you."

Clara suppressed her smile and said, "When are you going to go to Houston?" ”

"Definitely not now." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "First of all, we have to meet Wild Rose and figure out her position, and then we have to settle Connie and Jimmy and get the affairs of the Women's Army done." The most important thing is to make sure that the Asian American group is not destroyed by the Jewish group during my trip to Houston, otherwise it is useless to go to Houston, and I may even have to pin my hopes on the Houston Chamber of Commerce. Of course, I've thought about it, and I've mentioned to Stewart that he's not in a hurry to go back and will stay and wait for us. ”

"You've thought about it for a long time?"

"Sort of, but I haven't made up my mind. If it weren't for your analysis, I'm afraid it would have been a few days to consider. ”

"You go to Tamara, if Wild Rose won't see you immediately, go out with us today, Nichol and the others will definitely want to go to the business district."

"How do you know the way?"

"Woman, don't I know what I'm thinking?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Not today, I have other things to do." Wait, let Nicole and the others come with you. ”

"Just let a few women go to the business district, you're too bold, aren't you?"

"With Nicole and them, what are you afraid of?"

"Let them fight in broad daylight?"

"This ......"

"Also, women are very delicate and need to be protected."

Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go to Andre and them, let the three of them be your bodyguards, and carry things for you by the way." ”

"It's pretty much the same, let the Fukushima brothers go too."

"Is this necessary?"

"How many things can three people lift?"

Chu Tianjiang rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Fukushima is training Jimmy's little ghosts, I'll let Samuel and them go with you." By the way, bring Alyssa and Faith with you. ”

"That's pretty much it."

"Alright, finish the plate and don't waste it. This is something I've prepared for you, and no one else can eat it. ”

Clara smiled and nodded, it is true that few people can eat the meals cooked by Chu Tianjiang himself.

Chu Tianjiang went to arrange a task for the three Andre brothers, and asked them to bring Samuel and others to accompany Clara and them to go shopping, and then went to find Connie and others.

When all 50 members of the legion arrived, the shopping procession, led by Clara, set out.

When sending Clara and them out, Chu Tianjiang told Tamara that he wanted to see Wild Rose sooner, and Tamara promised to tell him and give him an answer in the afternoon.

Stewart didn't come to trouble Chu Tianjiang, and Chu Tianjiang didn't bother him.

After instructing Connie and them, Chu Tianjiang returned to the courtyard. In a short time, Connie and the others arrived with five hundred slave girls and formed a twenty-line line in the courtyard.

These 500 female slaves were the activists of Connie and their development among the slaves according to Chu Tianjiang's intentions.

If Connie's legion is to gain a foothold in these troubled times, it must expand in size and recruit more members. Although these weak women are still far from becoming warriors, Connie can persevere, and Chu Tianjiang believes that they can also persevere.

Women are not the same as men, but women's instincts for survival are no worse than men's.
