At least for Zhu Peicheng, five years ago, he did not expect that he would come to the Americas to become the manager of a "state-owned company".

Either into the enterprise, or into the official hall.

Wenshan Yishu's student has already been doomed, it seems that his current path is not much different from most alumni, but being in North America is obviously not in his plan, especially in this colony that is not a colony, as the "ruler" of this "non-colony" and the manager of the North American company, only he can appreciate the taste.

"Gordon, you're here"

Zhu Peicheng gestured to the company's security employees and asked him to sit on the sofa, although the company's headquarters is Chinese-style, but the layout in this spacious office is Western-style, compared to the wooden circle chairs, Western-style sofas are undoubtedly more comfortable. An Guotao sat on the sofa, and he looked at the manager of the company.

When he fell off his horse three years ago and retired from the army due to injury, it was the manager in front of him who sent him an invitation to become the commander of the company's defense team.

The Defence Force is a must for any colony, and the same is true in Saltwater, after all, there are also local natives living in the Rocky Mountains, and they pose a threat to both the loggers and the saltwater in the woodworks, and they have attacked the woodlands several times in the past few years, and because of this, the relationship between the company and the natives has been very tense, and just last month, the SDF surrounded the nearby indigenous tribes because of the attack on the forest farm, killing most of the tribes in retaliation.

It may seem cruel, but it is something he must do to avoid an attack on the forest farm. Sometimes, even if there is something you don't want to do, you have to do it.

Zhu Peicheng walked towards the window, and he looked at the bay of Breenne, where everything was named by Westerners, except for this place, Saltwater Port.

"Captain An, look here......"

He pointed out the window with a thoughtful look.

"A few years ago, when we came here, it was just a barren land, with nothing but wild men and forests, and of course Hudson's Bay would not have agreed to lease this place to us!"

In the exclamation of the "boss", An Guotao glanced at his watch, the hour hand had just pointed to six o'clock, and the sun had already set.

"Soldiers don't need too many words!"

It was a habit he developed in the army, and it is no different now.

"I remember that when we first came here, many people felt that we shouldn't build this place, and we didn't need to think about the future, after all, in a few decades, this place would still have to be returned to the British, so the best thing to do was to cut down all the forests here, and as for the future, who cares about ......it."

When Zhu Peicheng said these words, An Guotao just listened with his ears pricked up.

"But what they don't know is that in '99, a lot of things can happen in such a long time, just like when the British came to India, they just rented a piece of land from the maharaja and went to business, but how could they have imagined that in the future they would control the whole of India. So ......"

Looking back at An Guotao, Zhu Peicheng said.

"Mentality is very important, if we just think of this as a lumber yard, then in the next 100 years, this will be just a lumber yard, but if we treat this as a city to plan and build, then in the future, this is likely to become one of the most prosperous cities on the entire West Coast, 99 years, can really do a lot of things!"

"Yes, Manager!"

An Guotao nodded in agreement, but other than that, he didn't express any other opinions, of course Zhu Peicheng noticed this, because he knew his character, so he just glanced at him.

"If I let you come like this, you don't have to worry,"

Zhu Peicheng opened his mouth and said.

"I have here a report you submitted earlier."

"My report?" An Guotao said.

"What? Yes, yes, it was written after you returned from the forest farm after the outbreak of war! ”

"Oh yes, manager, but it's been a long time."

It's been a long time, if you count the years, it's been two years.

"It's been a long time. When I read this report, the reason why I didn't express my attitude was because of the timing, you know, at that time, the most important thing for us was to hold on to the status quo, not to break the status quo, because we were powerless to change all this, how about it, it was a bit difficult to deal with those British people, right? ”

The manager's words made An Guotao think to himself in the bottom of his heart, and he knew very well that if there was no change, the manager would not have said this. At this time, the room was very warm, and the sofa was very comfortable, and An Guotao was thinking about what kind of changes had happened.

"When the war broke out, you expanded the defense force to 4,000 men by attacking the forest farms by natives."

It was not "borrowed", but to induce the indigenous people to attack the forest farm, and then An Guotao would expand the defense force of 2,000 people, of course, it was the "forest farm auxiliary team".

"Manager, it's not an expansion, it's an addition of an auxiliary team, they are stationed in the forest farm, not running around like the defense team, they are familiar with the environment around the forest farm, and after the defense team arrives, they can cooperate with the defense team! In the past, lumberjacks also had weapons, but they were not good at using their strength, and now they only train some of them through auxiliary teams to improve their defenses, and that's it! ”

Excuses, these are just excuses, as a soldier, An Guotao knows that he should prepare in advance, the so-called auxiliary team, but it is just his preparation for the outbreak of war!

"You're doing the right thing."

Zhu Peicheng immediately said happily.

"You know, there are some things that the company is not suitable to deal with directly, so when you set up an auxiliary team, the company has always pretended to be deaf and dumb, and in this case, the British can't speak. I think the auxiliary team should be expanded now, of course, maybe a little late, but after all, it's a start. ”

When saying the words "after all", Zhu Peicheng deliberately waved his hand to accentuate his tone.

"Now we all know that the war between us and the British cannot end in the short term, and it is certain that now we have won the initiative on the battlefield, so to speak, with full advantage, and in this case we must also take into account the ...... of the company"

Zhu Peicheng continued.

"When I deal with Hudson's Bay, I always look at them with envy, you know, they have 7.77 million square kilometers of land, which is ...... bigger than many countries."

Every businessman will envy them, and Zhu Peicheng is convinced of this.

But what's the point of envy? They were British, and I had tentatively asked if we were to buy all the shares of the Hudson's Bay Company for ten million pounds, and of course they would sell them, and the land would be ours, but they clearly refused! ”

Sighing helplessly, Zhu Peicheng's face was a little distressed.

"Really, they refused so much money!"

"Manager, they're British!"

An Guotao reminded the manager that Hudson's Bay was a British company, just like a North American company. Neither side will betray their country

"What's there? They don't want to think about it, but it's actually the best choice for them! ”

Zhu Peicheng sat on the sofa and said with some distress.

"If they agree to sell, then we can do a lot less trouble than it is now......"

Now the situation has become complicated, and when Zhu Peicheng fell silent, An Guotao looked at the manager and asked tentatively.

"Manager, is there an instruction from China?"

Facing An Guotao's question, Zhu Peicheng stood up with a serious expression, and then he walked to the window and looked at the bay outside the window, where merchant ships were moored, of course, most of them were wooden boats, and there were some small boats.

"Yes!"

Zhu Peicheng nodded.

"The country has decided, and it is consistent with our most realistic speculation!"

Their initial speculation was that if China had gained an advantage in the war against Britain, it would most likely take action against North America. Now everything is clear.

"And which force will be sent?"

An Guotao, who had been prepared for this for a long time, said calmly.

"What do we need to prepare?"

"We!"

Zhu Peicheng walked to the table and picked up the teacup, but his cup was empty, and he didn't know when the tea had been drunk.

"There will be no troops to be transferred, at least not now, we have to rely on ourselves, and the country has given us the number of the 167th Division."

Staring at An Guotao, Zhu Peicheng suddenly said with a smile.

"General An, how's it going, was it an accident? Now you are the commander of the 167th Division! ”

"What!"

Looking at the manager in surprise, An Guotao almost couldn't believe his ears, what was he talking about?

"The number of a division, a shipload of munitions, well, there are more than 20,000 sets of military uniforms, and more than 100 officers, this is what the country has given us, they have arrived, of course they did not come as soldiers, they are waiting for you, now, you have a month to organize and train your army, a month ......"

Before An Guotao came back to his senses, Zhu Peicheng glanced at the opposite side of the bay.

"The troops need to be put into battle as soon as possible, not only here, but we even need to cross the Rocky Mountains and launch an expedition to the east coast!"

Zhu Peicheng, who was standing at the window, turned around from the window and asked with a wry smile.

"How? Do you think it can be done? ”
