Chapter 48: The Cold War
After listening to the report, Tang Ning got up directly, and said nonchalantly: "Not only their families, but also themselves, we must also send people to keep an eye on them, and don't let them steal the things in the factory." ”
Ono asked in some surprise: "Boss, since you know that they are commercial spies, why don't you arrest them all, just like the three brothers who cleaned up the tablet at the beginning, and give these newcomers a dismount." ”
Tang Ning shook his head: "There is no need for the time being, now that the factory has just opened, what we need is skilled workers, since these guys dare to be commercial spies, then at least they should be good in terms of work ability, and in order to steal teachers, they will definitely spare no effort to carefully study the technology, and when they are almost studied, you will quietly talk to them one by one, and tell them that everything about them has been mastered by us, and their families are also in our hands, if you want the family to live well, He obediently stayed in the factory to work, and if there was any disobedience at that time, he would take it out directly, squeeze the things in his head, and send his head to his master. ”
Ono couldn't help but feel cold behind his back when he heard this, his boss was really ruthless, he even wanted to use the spies sent by the opponent, and he also wanted to send people's heads back to the mastermind behind the scenes, so that they were both angry and afraid to make a sound, it was really a good means, so he raised his thumb and said in worship: "Boss, Gao, your trick is really high!" ”
Although Tang Ning knew that Ono was sincerely praising himself, this line was not a compliment in China, so he just responded indiscriminately and left with Endo and Nanako.
Here I want to talk about Nanako, this little girl, she is Tang Ning's most unexpected harvest during this time, by chance, Tang Ning found that she is not only a good **, but also a good material for a natural secretary, with a good memory, careful thinking, well-organized handling of things, and very obedient, this kind of superb little secretary is too difficult to find, so now Tang Ning takes her wherever she goes, which makes Yokoyama Miyuki and others envious and jealous.
But not long after he left, his old friend, Lieutenant Mike of the Quartermaster's Office, came to him in a hurry (the one who gave him the house in Chapter 1), and after finding him, he panted and said, "Tony, why don't you stay at home or in the office, let me have a good meal." ”
Tang Ning asked Nanako to bring him a glass of water, and asked curiously: "What makes you so anxious, Mike, come, drink a glass of water first, take a breath and then talk." ”
Mike waved his hand: "No time, really no time, Tony, how many parachutes and special backpacks do you still have in the warehouse, the military department has an urgent need now, and all of them must be requisitioned and requisitioned, and your nylon factory will not produce stockings in the near future, hurry up and make parachutes, this time the number of orders is large, and the demand is urgent, so let your workers be ready to work overtime recently!" ”
Tang Ning was taken aback when he heard this: "What? All the stocks are transferred away, and then overtime to produce parachutes? What is this for? ”
Mike replied anxiously: "Tony, I'll explain to you when I have time, you see, this is a military order from the headquarters, now quickly send someone to take me to pick up the inventory, the plane is ready, and time is of the essence." ”
Tang Ning took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was issued by the headquarters, and when he saw that Mike was in a hurry like this, he didn't inquire carefully, and hurriedly took Mike to the warehouse, counted the inventory, handed it over, and when everything was done, it was already time for dinner.
Tang Ning, who was full of question marks, naturally refused to let Mike go, and dragged him and said: "Brother Mike, I have been working with you all afternoon today, and now that things are done, we are fine, so you have time to have a drink with me." ”
Mike repeatedly admitted: "That's, that's, it's too urgent today, I haven't done this for a long time." I'm tired of you today, I didn't say anything, whatever you want to eat, pick and order, the best food in Japan is here with me. ”
Next, Tang Ning and Mike found a quiet place, took a good bath, and then ate and drank, Tang Ning saw that he was almost drunk, so he asked Mike: "Brother Mike, the matter was too urgent just now, I didn't ask you, now you should be able to tell me the bottom, what's going on today?" ”
Mike stopped eating and drinking, drove all the servants in the house away, and then closed the doors and windows himself, before he walked up to Downing and whispered: "Tony, you can keep this matter secret, to tell you the truth, today's goods, as well as the big order you received this time, are all prepared for China." ”
Tang Ning couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to understand what Mike meant, but he still asked with some uncertainty: "You mean, these things are prepared for that surnamed Jiang?" ”
Mike nodded: "Of course, isn't it him who we support in China, we can't support that, President Truman has just finished his speech, and we have to fight the Russians again." ”
The Truman Address that Mike refers to is the well-known Truman Doctrine, to be precise, President Truman's address to Congress on March 12, 1947. If Churchill's speech was the beginning of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, then the Truman Doctrine represents the beginning of a half-century-long Cold War era.
However, even if Tang Ning knew about this kind of major event, it was useless, because a small person like him couldn't change this kind of international event at all, so he quickly adjusted and continued to ask: "I naturally know which one we support, but why is it so urgent and so large this time?" ”
Mike took a big sip of wine and muttered: "This kind of thing on the front line can be known by our gang of logistics, but I have heard that this guy is not good, he has recently lost battles one after another, and if this trend continues, China will become a group of Russians." ”
Tang Ning nodded secretly, and said in his heart that although Mike was greedy and lustful, he still saw things quite accurately, and it was not surprising that after the situation in China was clear, the United States would begin to adjust its strategy towards Japan, because since it could not control China, and it had established Cold War relations with the Soviet Union, then Japan's position as a bridgehead in Asia began to become extremely important.
As soon as he picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine, Tang Ning suddenly had a whim, since my batch of supplies is going to be sent to China, should I do something? But after thinking about it, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat, forget it, this kind of general trend is not something that can be changed by destroying a few parachutes, there is no need to ruin the reputation of your new factory, or think of other ways!
