Standard Oil is very efficient, and in three days, ten retired German officials were found for Yan Guang.

Among these retired German ** officers, the lowest level also served as a battalion commander, one of them was the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, and the highest was a regiment commander and regimental chief of staff, the only regret is that none of these ten people can speak Chinese, fortunately they speak English quite well, so it is enough to wait for China to be equipped with a Chinese interpreter.

To be honest, Yan Guang never thought that Lott would be able to find these people in three days, you must know that his original requirements were at least the company ranks, that is, the ranks of lieutenant and captain, and none of them were lower than majors...

Yan Guang hired these ten German officers, in addition to letting them train elite troops for themselves, and also letting them train a group of capable officers for themselves.

There are two major factions in Sichuan, the armed forces and the quick formation, and Yan Guang does not belong to either of them. If the revolution succeeds in the future, then a large number of officers will inevitably be needed when expanding the army.

Yan Guang doesn't plan to be Bo Dianjun...

Therefore, it is necessary to form a team of officers of its own.

"Thank you, Manager Lot." After seeing the ten German ** officials brought by Lot, Yan Guang thanked him.

"Don't be too polite." Locke smiled. "I still have something to do, so you can solve it yourself."

"Well, thank you."

After bidding farewell to Lot, Yan Guang returned to his residence.

In the hall of the residence, ten officers were sitting on their seats with their waists straight, but when they looked at Yan Guang, the eyes of these German officers were still full of curiosity.

Of course, one of the reasons why his future boss is a Chinese is that the bigger reason is that the news of Yan Guang has spread all over the United States and Europe.

The owner of the world's most oil-producing oil well, the latest billionaire, actually has many newspapers betting on when Yan Guang died on the streets, but after the news of Yan Guang's cooperation with Standard Oil came out, these newspapers disappeared.

It can be said that even if we don't talk about the identity of Yan Guang's inventor now, the two oil wells of Tampico alone can already be thunderous in the Western world.

"Ahem..."After noticing the officers' gaze, Yan Guang coughed lightly. I believe everyone knows why I want to hire everyone, so I won't say much nonsense, and the treatment is the same as what Manager Lott said to you, but the term of employment is at least three years..."After all, the instructor who trains the army is not a female worker in a textile factory, and he can stop working for half a year and a year, so Yan Guang set a three-year period.

Nodding to the officers, after all, they came to the United States to pan for gold, in other words, they don't mind going to China if there are gold mines in China, and as retired officers, the youngest of them is also in his thirties, and he has passed the frizziness of his youth, so three years is nothing for them.

After making sure that everyone agreed, Yan Guang nodded, and then took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago.

The contract stipulates the treatment of the officers, as well as the obligations of the officers, and at the same time, after the expiration of the three-year period, these German officers can also choose whether to renew the contract. In a way, in terms of the content of the contract, these officers are not like instructors training the army for Yan Guang, but a bit like Yan Guang's private soldiers...

After putting away the signed contract, Yan Guang called the others out to meet, and he went to say goodbye to Manager Lot.

――――――――――

The next day, after saying goodbye to everyone, Yan Guang took Wang Er and the ten newly recruited German ** officers to take the train to San Francisco. Although it would have to cross the entire United States from New York to San Francisco, for Yan Guang, at least he would not have to cross the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

After a long journey, Yan Guang and more than 40 others finally arrived in San Francisco.

Considering that after leaving this time, it is likely that he will not have time to come to the United States for a few years or even more than ten years, so Yan Guang went to Chinatown again to visit Huang Lao.

Seeing Yan Guang come to visit him, Huang Lao was very happy.

At first, when he took the newspaper to reprimand his juniors, he didn't think about the danger Yan Guang faced at that time, so it wasn't until many newspapers began to bet on when Yan Guang would die on the streets, that he understood.

At this time, Huang Lao couldn't take Yan Guang as a positive example, and he didn't let go until the newspaper published the news that Yan Guang and Standard Oil had cooperated and everything was safe.

"Alas, money, it's good if it's enough..."After learning about the danger Yan Guang encountered in Mexico, Huang Lao sighed.

"Is it in danger of being rich?" Yan Guang smiled. "At least now I've made money that a lot of people can't make in a lifetime."

"That's just as well." Huang Lao nodded, but soon shook it again. "But I still hope that my children and grandchildren will be safe, even if they are poor."

This time, Yan Guang just smiled and didn't say anything.

"By the way, how long are you going to live in San Francisco this time?"

"A day or two." Yan Guang thought for a while. "I'm going to take a boat back to China after I have cleared my fatigue with the others, and the time is pressing..."After all, there is still more than a year before the Xinhai Revolution.

Two days later, after Yan Guang and the others had eliminated their fatigue, Yan Guang took them back to China on a luxury cruise ship.

Merely...

"Grandpa? That Yan Guang has ever been here? After Yan Guang left for a while, Huang Yihua, who returned from Chicago, asked in surprise when he returned home.

"yes, what's wrong?" Huang Lao, who was smoking dry cigarettes, was a little strange.

"Alas, why didn't you send me a telegram? Mr. Sun has always wanted to meet him! After getting up from his seat, Huang Yihua sighed and spun in circles.

"What are you doing with him?" Huang Lao said vigilantly. "Could it be that he is trying to cheat money from Xiao Yan?" Although he has not met Sun Yat-sen, Huang Lao does not seem to have a good impression of Sun Yat-sen at all.

This kind of thinking was very common among overseas Chinese in the United States at that time, and the more powerful people were, the more this kind of thinking was born, and this kind of thinking did not change until the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising and the success of the Xinhai Revolution.

"Cheating money?" Huang Yihua was first flustered, and then there was some fire. "Grandpa, why don't you understand, this is a revolution, it's a revolution!"

"Revolution?" Huang Lao slowly raised the crutches in his hand, and then hit Huang Yihua fiercely. "I'll let you revolution, I'll let you revolution, and today I'll take your life for you!"

Although Huang Lao is a lot older, his physical strength and energy are very strong, and the crutches in his hand are also dancing tigers, although Huang Yihua was beaten all over his head, but he couldn't fight back against his grandfather, and finally had to flee the house with his head in his hands.

It's just that when he was running away, Huang Yihua hated in his heart. "Yan Guang, I remember you!!"

In this way, Yan Guang was shot while lying down again.
