This was a very unfamiliar name for Qin Lang, he had never heard of it before returning to this era, and he didn't even know who this name belonged to before November. But now, the owner of the name is very important to him.

Hoang Hoang was the leader of Vietnam's anti-French forces – or, textbook parlance, a national hero of Vietnam's resistance to French colonial rule. However, in Qin Lang's eyes, this Vietnamese is just a tool for him to make money, a tool that does not require any operation and does not need to waste too much time to care.

He had only one thing to do, to defeat the French again.

It's easy to do, the French have already been beaten by him once. Qin Lang had no doubt that the French would be defeated by Huang Huatan for the second time. After the great Napoleonic Emperor, the French began to lose their bravery, and then, the rising Prussians, in the Battle of Sedan, completely turned the Gallic rooster into a Gallic gelding.

A castrated Gallic chicken could not wipe out the Vietnamese guerrillas as cunning as monkeys; The French had to resort to other forces.

"Obviously, this is the only thing we can do, and the French government just needs to pay us." It's not for Rachel, it's for O'Connor. Once he sees an opportunity to make money, Rachel never says anything more and immediately begins to refine the plan. But O'Connor is different.

Rachel cares about how to do it, and he cares if he can do it. "But will the federal government allow us to do that -- to send at least 5,000 American citizens to Vietnam to work for the French government?"

"There is no reason for the federal government to interfere with a legitimate business. And I think the federal government would welcome and even encourage us to do that. Qin Lang smiled meaningfully. He had an agreement with Mr. Bush and Harriman that had nothing to do with sending mercenaries to Vietnam to fight for the French government, but they and other politicians would soon discover the added benefit of doing so.

Fighting in Vietnam would allow mercenaries to gain valuable combat experience, but this was one thing, and more importantly, an American mercenary force fighting for the French government, a very reasonable way for the U.S. government to deploy large ground forces in the Far East without arousing suspicion among other countries.

In a near-perfect way.

"Our mercenaries will be the main U.S. ground forces in the Far East," he explained to O'Connor, "and in the event of a special situation, the federal government can immediately hire them into battle without wasting time waiting for land forces from home." ”

"What are you hinting at, Qin? Will the federal government intervene in the armed conflict in the Far East? O'Connor was alert.

He didn't know that the United States would go to war with Spain, and Qin Lang had never revealed this secret to him or anyone else. In fact, he did not reveal his plan to them in its entirety - the importance of that plan was self-evident, and he had to do everything he could to prevent it from leaking.

So now, Qin Lang is still not ready to explain to O'Connor, and he will not even acquiesce to his guess. "It's just that I think that after the successful implementation of my plan, the United States will be more involved in the international affairs of the Far East. The federal government will need an army on standby. ”

"My personal feeling is that this doesn't sound like good news."

"Good or bad, it just depends on how you look at things, Sean." Qin Lang stretched out his hand and patted O'Connor's shoulder, "For our business, an interventionist federal government is much more valuable than an isolationist federal government. ”

"Unfortunately, I'm exactly what you call an isolationist." O'Connor shrugged, "Okay, Qin, let's talk about recruiting mercenaries. What are your plans? ”

"I'm going to do this......"

Soon, newspapers in major cities, starting in California and moving east to New York, were advertising for high-paying security guards for Umbrella Security Services — but not 500 but 500, and only retired military personnel.

These ex-servicemen will form the core of the force - officers and non-commissioned officers, together with the company's existing 700 mercenaries. As for the rest, ordinary soldiers, Qin Lang was not prepared to pay them a "high salary", and even he did not plan to waste money on advertising recruitment in newspapers.

In Arizona, thousands of miners, frustrated with the harsh working conditions and low wages, are looking for a better job, almost all of whom have the potential to become qualified soldiers: strong and simple-minded, and fond of violence, accustomed to solving problems with their fists rather than their brains.

As long as they are equipped with obedience and teamwork, they will become qualified professional murderers.

Qin Lang put Duncan in charge of recruiting these future professional murderers, and he was very experienced in doing this kind of thing. Everyone still vividly remembers that he did this once when the company was first founded, recruiting 1,300 miners in Arizona by promising promises that could not be kept.

And he likes to do this kind of thing. As a half-tone follower of Robert Owen, Duncan loved to speak in crowds, and was adept at sketching out prospects-looking prospects in front of them in order to persuade, seduce, and agitate them - no doubt he had the ability to be a politician or a salesman, but he never used it in the right place.

Qin Lang and Rachel were also worried that he was using this talent in the wrong place, and they didn't want him to form any kind of association in the company. But this time, since Duncan was the most suitable candidate, Qin Lang didn't care about the trouble that might be caused.

Duncan was grateful for the arrangement, and at the same time emotional. On the day he received the mission, he set off for Arizona without even a second of delay.

"If only this idiot had been so positive in his sales pitch. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. It must be said that it sucks. ”

"If it weren't for his political leanings, I'd rather recommend him to run for parliament, which would be more valuable to the company." Qin Lang shrugged, "Now, I have to go back to the factory to continue my work." ”

His most important work now was the development of mortars, and there were two models - a 60-mm light mortar and an 81-mm medium mortar. However, there is not much difference between the two except for the difference in caliber, so the design work of one can be completed quickly after the second type can be completed.

However, they were all weapons that were urgently designed to sell to the Abyssinians, and because of time issues, Qin Lang didn't even install sights on them. Further revisions will be made later, and at the same time he is preparing to develop a larger-caliber 120-mm mortar.

He was ready to use it to launch chemical shells. Elizabeth has returned to the lab, and she is trying to synthesize Lewis gas, and then she will try to synthesize mustard gas. Once she successfully completed these two dangerous tasks, Qin Lang would need a tool for launching "weapons of mass destruction", as well as a weapons testing ground.

Of course, his weapons testing ground was Vietnam; Except for that hellish place, or where could it be?

Who cares if the Vietnamese live or die, except for the Vietnamese themselves? Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders again and walked towards the office door, but Rachel stopped him. "There's one more question, Qin." "What if Duncan doesn't recruit enough miners to meet the company's needs?" she asked. ”

This question...... In fact, Qin Lang never expected Duncan to recruit a sufficient number of miners. There will be many vacancies for recruitment, but he needs them. "If there aren't enough people, we'll fill the void with Chinese workers."

Qin Lang looked at Rachel. At first, he thought she would be surprised or objected, but after a moment of silence and making sure he wasn't joking, she screamed happily. "Great, Qin, now I don't have to worry about those Chinese workers anymore."

As a result of Henry Markham's request and his decrees, the company now has 5,000 Chinese laborers - 800 of whom are in Devil's Island and the rest in District 51. They are a big problem for the company, especially those placed in District 51. Aside from the slow construction of a secret base and shooting range, they are not able to bring any benefit to the company, and at the same time, the company needs to constantly provide various materials to keep them alive.

Although Qin Lang may be unhappy, Rachel still believes that these Chinese workers are just a bottomless pit to waste the company's precious funds. Now that he is ready to turn some of them into mercenaries, what could be better?

"That's a great idea, Qin." She let out another exclamation. In fact, if it weren't for the reaction of the state government, the legislature, and her compatriots, Rachel would have suggested that all Chinese workers be turned into mercenaries for Umbrella. 5,000 Chinese laborers! There was no need for Duncan to go to Arizona at all.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he repeats the same mistakes he made in South America......

"Don't rejoice too soon, Rachel." Qin Lang knew very well what she was thinking, he shook his head, "Don't underestimate Duncan's propaganda skills. ”

"I didn't underestimate him, but," she couldn't help laughing, "I just wanted to see him fail." God, this is the first time I've wanted him to mess things up so strongly. ”

"Rachel, you have to know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." His admonition didn't seem to have any effect, though, and she was still giggling happily. Qin Lang sighed and left the office.
