Chapter 352: A Change of Identity for You!
In the Far East Theater of World War II, Hu Biao knew very well how much Asia had changed after the end of the war. The idea of colonialism slowly ended after the war, and some small Asian countries sought independence.
If Hu Biao didn't want to stay in China after the war, then he had to have a place to live. Even in the vicinity of today's China, there are many Chinese ethnic groups. If you don't want to stay at home, you can only seek to gain a foothold abroad.
Compared with living in continents with different skin colors, Hu Biao feels more intimate in Asia. With the help of the future war that will sweep Asia, Hu Biao feels that as long as he has enough military and financial resources, he should be able to open up a soil for his own survival.
To do this, Hu Biao must get more external support. According to the experience of later generations, Hu Biao knew that Lao Mei liked to support puppets the most, and through another way, he expanded his colonial circle around the world in disguise.
Before Hu Biao really revealed his ambitions, he believed that Brooke would be willing to cooperate with him. Correspondingly, when other countries reacted, Hu Biao felt that he already had the strength to get rid of the control of others.
At this stage, there are many countries that can provide assistance to Hu Biao, but the European battlefield is hot, and Britain, France and other countries in Europe can't take care of it. Only Lao Mei, who is in North America, watched the fire from across the shore and made a lot of war fortune with neutral countries.
Even if Hu Biao can provide few orders now, with the increase of troops and territory, Hu Biao will need more and more weapons and ammunition in the future. Even in the later period, Hu Biao would open corresponding arsenals in the mainland.
When the little devil blatantly launched a surprise attack on Lao Mei, I believe that Lao Mei is also willing to give Hu Biao some help and let him help contain the little devil's forces. Before the little devils surrender, try to accumulate strength to expand the territory and population.
As long as Hu Biao can ensure the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the displaced people, Hu Biao believes that there will be many war refugees in China, and is willing to go to the new home that Hu Biao has found for them. When the war is over, it will not be so easy to drive these people away.
Back at the villa that Hu Biao purchased in the concession, looking at Lin Yashi who was waiting at home, Brooke, who got out of the car, was very surprised: "Hu, don't you want to introduce me to this beautiful lady?" ”
"She's my girlfriend, you can call her Lin!"
Lin Yashi, who stood in the courtyard to greet her, was not low in English. Hearing Hu Biao's introduction, Lin Yashi looked happy and a little shy. In fact, when she lived in the villa last night, she already knew Hu Biao's thoughts.
Even the housekeeper Du Youfu directly called her the young lady. Such a title also felt very embarrassing for Lin Yashi, who had a servant in the family earlier. explained a few words to Du Youfu, and Du Youfu and the old couple were still smiling.
Hu Biao, who had a brief chat in the courtyard and invited Brooke to the living room for tea, looked at Lin Yashi and said: "This is Shanghai, and it is also my home in Shanghai, so don't be so restrained." Give you a change of identity, do you like it? ”
"Like! I'm willing to do anything for you! ”
"Fool! Okay, take me and entertain this foreign devil with me. His uncle was a military attache in China, and he had a lot of power in the public concession. In the future, when it is inconvenient for me, I will need you to deal with him. ”
"I can't! You wouldn't want to leave me here, would you? I don't want to stay here, I want to be there for you! ”
From Hu Biao's words, Lin Yashi also heard that the other party wanted to place her in the concession area. But for Lin Yashi, she is used to the life of following the army around to fight. If she was really allowed to stay in the concession, she would feel that she had nothing to do.
Looking at the girl with eyes full of attachment and worry, Hu Biao finally smiled and said, "I'm not very relieved to put you here now." It's just that I hope you will remember that if you want to be my woman, you also need to bear a lot of responsibility and pressure.
At present, the size of our troops is not large, and when the scale of our troops becomes larger in the future, the materials we need will be multiplied. As the commander of the troops, I can't often return to Shanghai to do business, and I have to leave this matter to someone I can trust. ”
After saying this, Lin Yashi thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will work hard!" ”
touched each other's hair, let Lin Yashi hold her arm, and the two walked into the living room together. Tian Tiezhu and others, who were responsible for protecting Hu Biao and his entourage, also whispered secretly: "It seems that our captain has really opened his mind today!" ”
When he was in the army earlier, Hu Biao had never shown such closeness to Lin Yashi, and he always maintained a relationship between his superiors and subordinates. Even if everyone thinks that Lin Yashi is Hu Biao's woman, Hu Biao has never explained to his subordinates.
At this moment, Hu Biao has officially announced to his subordinates that in addition to being his subordinate, Lin Yashi is also a woman he trusts very much. Making this decision has something to do with Hu Biao's transformation last night.
If Lin Yashi joined the army before, it was just to follow Hu Biao in gratitude. So in the past half a year, Lin Yashi's performance has made Hu Biao very satisfied. This girl seems to be arrogant and soft, but she is actually very brave and strong.
After testing for so long, the girl still doesn't give up on him, why doesn't he accept it calmly? Even a girl like Nina, Hu Biao can give an explanation, why can't he give Lin Yashi more promises and better treatment?
After entering the living room, Hu Biao talked to Brooke about the transaction. Just as Lin Yashi was about to leave, Hu Biao smiled and said, "Xiaoya, sit down too!" I'm good friends with Brooke, and you can hear about it. ”
Seeing this scene, Brooke was also surprised and said: "Hu, it seems that the person you love the most is still Lin!" ”
"She deserves it! After the firm is formed, if I don't have time to go back to Shanghai, I hope she can act as my agent to trade with you. Second, I hope to use your connections to arrange for her the status of an American expatriate. ”
"OK, of course that's fine! Lin, please take care of me in the future! ”
"Mr. Brooke, you are so kind! I don't know much about doing business, so I'll ask for your help in the future! ”
Regarding Hu Biao's arrangement, Lin Yashi was a little incomprehensible. But she also knew that the status of an American expatriate would give her more protection in the concession. Even in her heart, she already realized that she needed to grow up as soon as possible.
Only by truly becoming Hu Biao's virtuous helper can she always stay by Hu Biao's side. Compared with being a confidential staff officer, it is undoubtedly more difficult to be a good helper. Fortunately, Lin Yashi is still familiar with Shanghai.
At this stage, Lin Yashi undoubtedly can't take too much responsibility. Fortunately, the firm has not yet been established, and Hu Biao also needs to select more subordinates from his command who are suitable to come to Shanghai to station. Let them cooperate with Lin Yashi to run the firm well.
Although Lin Yashi's parents have passed away, as a girl born and raised in Shanghai, Lin Yashi's connections in Shanghai are still not small. With the identity of a comprador in an American-funded commercial bank, Lin Yashi can also become the princess of the Lin family again.
After chatting some gossip, Hu Biao pushed the list of newly ordered goods to Brooke. Looking at this list of supplies, Brooke said with some surprise: "Hu, I don't have so many radio stations in my hands!" ”
"If you can buy the radio, I'll want as much as you want. This time, I'll stay in Shanghai longer. Compared with radio, I hope you pay more attention to the research of walkie-talkies in China. If I have a finished product, I would like to buy it too. ”
"I have already sent a telegram to the family about what you said in the telegram a few days ago, and I will inform you if there is any progress!"
"Okay! In this transaction, drugs are still the main thing! In terms of price, I hope that you will try to keep prices as low as possible with pharmaceutical merchants from various countries. You know, in this situation, only I can take the medicine they send in one go.
Compared to retail or secretly selling, I don't owe them money. As long as the medicine is not fake, I will contract the medicine they ship. I like to do business for a win-win situation, too greedy businessmen, I don't want to cooperate with them! ”
"Don't worry! With such a large amount of yours, I believe no one will refuse. I will definitely help you fight for the best interests in this matter. As for the machinery and materials you need on your list, I will arrange them as soon as possible without too much delay. ”
"Good! Also, make an appointment with Governor Hallett for me, and I'm going to deposit another sum of money and gold into your bank. Secondly, Citibank should also be engaged in currency exchange, right? For example, the British pound and the Japanese yen? ”
"This is natural! If he knew the news, I believe he would be very happy! ”
"It's just that I want only the two of us to know about what we talked about in the car earlier!"
"OK, as a friend, I'll keep this secret with my promise!"
After smiling at each other, Hu Biao invited Brooke to lunch at his house. In order to facilitate the passage, Hu Biao also asked Brooke to keep two classic cars. In this way, it will be more convenient for Hu Biao to move in Shanghai.
After sending Brooke away, Hu Biao called Lin Yashi and said, "Xiaoya, wait a minute, report their safety to Sandao, we don't have any combat missions in a short time." If you're bored, I'll let the pillar go out with you. ”
"What about you?"
"I'm going to take a break! In the evening, I should have to meet a few friends and should come back very late. ”
"Then go and rest! If anything, I'll call you! ”
Although she has many friends in Shanghai, Lin Yashi still feels that accompanying Hu Biao is the most important. Looking at Lin Yashi, who was as gentle as her little daughter-in-law, she sorted out her clothes, Hu Biao suddenly smiled evilly: "Do you want to rest together?" ”
The sudden invitation made Lin Yashi's whole face instantly flush and said, "It's still daytime!" ”
"It's okay! We were resting on the second floor, and they didn't dare to come up! ”
"Then you go first! I'll wait a minute! ”
As a girl who is psychologically and physically mature, in the days when she stayed in the army to accompany Hu Biao, Lin Yashi imagined the scene of being conquered by Hu Biao countless times. From beginning to end, Hu Biao was very calm and restrained.
However, this time when he came to Shanghai, perhaps without the tension and oppression behind enemy lines, Hu Biao also showed another posture. Although she knew what would happen when she rested together, Lin Yashi felt that this was not what she had always expected.
