"Are you really sure you want to do that?" Looking at Zhao Zhi, who was lying in the recliner with a lazy face, Rowling, who had a big belly, was almost speechless. Since Zhao Zhi returned to the United States, he has been staying in the villa all day long, and even the drinking party invited by Congress, Zhao Zhi has shirked it because he is unwell, and if this continues, the prestige of the Thunder in Asia will be completely forgotten by the world.

Zhao Zhi laughed, stretched out his hand to hold Rowling and said with a smile, "I'm here to accompany you to give birth, what is it like to run around outside all day, if Old Rod knew that I left you alone at home, he would definitely break my leg with his cane, and I dare bet with you that it will definitely be broken with two legs together." "Before pregnancy, Rowling and Zhao Zhi were always generous when they were together, but after pregnancy, their temperament became a little reserved, especially when Zhao Zhi wanted to kiss her lightly in front of everyone, Rowling could always blush, so every time Rowling wanted to lecture Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi always used this trick to fight back, and tried everything.

"Let go of me, you use this trick to prevaricate me again, I'm going in, just let you be tanned by the sun here." Breaking free of Zhao Zhi's arms around her, Rowling entered the room with a smile. Rowling is not dissatisfied with the current life, on the contrary, she enjoys the present, at least she is with Zhao Zhi again, and she doesn't have to worry about him all day long, although some people in the family began to gossip about Zhao Zhi, but Rowling didn't think so, it was a big deal that they would go back to Myanmar.

"Sir, there's news over there." Watching Rowling's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Zhao Zhi gestured to the bushes beside him, and Luo Ying, dressed as a gardener, walked over quickly, holding a small note in his hand. All the escort mercenaries around Zhao Zhi had been sent to the barracks to train the newly recruited American mercenaries of the Rockman family, and only Luo Ying, Ye Kong, and two telecommunications mercenaries were left by his side. Half a month of leisure life is just a smokescreen that Zhao Zhi puts on for the outside world, and Zhao Zhi doesn't want to be noticed too much before reaching an agreement with the US government.

"Tell them that money is not a problem as long as they get the materials and things we need, and that we will provide them with Swiss residency." Zhao Zhi opened the note and read it, and used a lighter to kill the note into ashes and dissolve it in a water cup. What Zhao Zhi was planning was too dangerous, so he had to be more careful, and even Luo Lin couldn't tell it, and only Luo Ying and Ye Kong knew about it in Thunder.

The days passed like this, Zhao Zhi's silver bullet offensive finally worked, under the operation of those congressmen controlled by the Lockman family, Thunder finally got the opportunity to send troops to Europe, although Thunder and the U.S. government belong to the employment relationship, but Thunder's troops have independent command and arms procurement rights, of course, it is the U.S. government that pays for these arms procurement rights. Zhao Zhi's villa in Florida has once again become a hot spot, and American arms manufacturers can't wait to live in the villa, and under the coordination of the Rockman family, Thunder has purchased more than $40 million in arms from these arms dealers.

The arms contract has been signed, but Zhao Zhi has not left for a long time, because Rowling is about to give birth, and he will not be able to set foot on the battlefield until the child is born, and this is what Rowling meant. Early one morning in November 1943, in the delivery room of a Florida hospital, Rowling gave birth to twin siblings for Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi spent Christmas with Luo Lin and the two children, and then reluctantly took Luo Ying and Ye Kong to the barracks.

Although Emperor Hirohito issued an armistice edict, not all Japanese troops would comply with the edict, and the Nationalist Government and the CCP were constantly creating friction, so Zhao Zhi asked all the military dispatch teams in the country to wait and see what happened. The 30,000 Thunder mercenaries who were sent to Florida by the US Pacific Fleet in advance have already been stationed in the barracks, and after the second batch of Thunder mercenaries arrives in Florida, Zhao Zhi will immediately march to France.

"Do you know your mission?" In Zhao Zhi's command post, more than a dozen golden-haired foreign mercenaries were present, these were the commanders of Zhao Zhi's foreign mercenaries, each of them commanded a mercenary team of 20 people, these foreign mercenaries were Zhao Zhi's deployment in the United States, there was no evidence that these big-nosed foreigners were related to Thunder, even if they were tracked down by the CIA afterwards, I believe that Zhao Zhi's head would not be found, not to mention that Zhao Zhi still had the support of the Lockman family behind him.

Zhao Zhi has always told Rowling that he is playing a big game of chess, and now it is the most critical thing in this game of chess, if what Zhao Zhi is planning can be implemented smoothly, then the future Thunder will no longer be a simple mercenary organization, under Zhao Zhi's planning, Thunder will eventually go to the world stage. Zhao Zhi initially planned this with some memories he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, and it was not until Hunter's intelligence agents confirmed his conjecture that the plan was perfected, and now it was time to implement it.

On January 7, 1944, Zhao Zhi led the first batch of 20,000 Thunder mercenaries to France on the Rockman family's ocean-going ships, and with the assistance of French resistance groups and local gangs, Thunder landed at Royan in the Bay of Biscay. While the American troops were busy exchanging fire with the Germans on the front line of Le Mans and Tuva, Zhao Zhi and his troops had already marched along Royan to Bordeaux, and he would continue to move east to the port of Marseille after conquering Bordeaux.

Zhao Zhi's purpose was not to control Marseille, he just wanted to create a false impression for the German army, that is, the US army was going to carry out a large-scale landing in Marseille, and the capture of Marseille was to prepare for the landing. Thunder is good at long-distance running operations and strong fire ambushes, the German army is equipped with a large number of large-caliber artillery, if the Thunder and the Germans are engaged in positional warfare, then the 20,000 mercenaries under his command are simply not enough for the German army to stuff their teeth, so Zhao Zhi plans to play a sports guerrilla war with the German army first.

On 23 January, after successfully ambushing the Germans at Mount and crushing a German infantry division, the Thunder retreated westward to the Cahors area, where the Thunder had long since disappeared by the time the Germans pursued Cahors according to the intelligence sent by the reconnaissance aircraft. A week later, another German infantry division was severely damaged at Périgg, and the entire infantry division survived with less than 2,000 men, all the heavy weapons were looted by the thunder, and even the soldiers' personal belongings were confiscated, leaving them with only a military blanket.

The magic of the thunder did not give the Germans a headache, but they just couldn't catch the traces of the thunder, when the Germans in France listed the thunder as the number one enemy, Zhao Zhi appeared with his mercenaries in Chatellero, not far from Tours. In just one month, they inflicted heavy losses on two German infantry divisions, ambushed more than a dozen German logistical supply lines, and destroyed 13 German material hoarding points.

On the first Sunday of February, the 20,000 Thunder mercenaries who set off from Florida finally arrived in Tours, and the Thunder had already made a name for themselves on the European battlefield. "We are mercenaries, what we are good at is interspersed with surprise attacks and long-distance raids, our role is to attack and harass operations rather than form a positional confrontation with the German army, we will suffer a big loss in the confrontation without heavy weapons, so don't pay attention to the fingers of those Yankees, we still fight according to our tactics." When Zhao Zhi held a meeting with his mercenary officers, he directly stated that Thunder would not participate in the positional duel.

The Soviets have been beaten by the German army and lost their temper, if it were not for the last breath and still holding on, I am afraid that Stalin would have become a prisoner of war of the German army, Germany's huge industrial system continued to provide the German army with the required weapons, ammunition and materials and equipment, and the army provided a large amount of food and materials for the country, and the Junkers also made a lot of money. These have nothing to do with Zhao Zhi, he only cares about when the US army will carry out a large-scale attack on France, and only when the battlefield is completely disrupted, will his thunder have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

There were firefights every day, a large number of soldiers died every day, and all the soldiers on the battlefield were already numb to all this, only the soldiers of Thunder were eager to fight every day, because Zhao Zhi assured them that they could keep thirty percent of the captured loot. Defeated Burma, Thailand and Vietnam, Thunder's mercenaries have earned a lot of wealth to support their families, a Japanese landing battle that is not favored by people has created thousands of new rich people with a lot of money among the mercenaries, and the mercenaries who can participate in the European battles are holding back their efforts to loot for wealth, hoping to become a rich man when they withdraw to Burma.

Zhao Zhi used interests to tie the mercenaries firmly together, as long as there are benefits to be obtained, these mercenaries will not betray Thunder, Zhao Zhi believes that the interests of the whole Europe are enough to make all the mercenaries of Thunder crazy, as long as the war continues, the benefits and wealth obtained by Thunder will continue to grow wildly.

After entering the second half of February, Zhao Zhi gradually slowed down the speed of the thunder attack, of course, the external propaganda is that the soldiers of the thunder need to rest, in fact, Zhao Zhi is doing it on purpose, because he has given the action order to those foreign mercenaries in the United States, Zhao Zhi, who is worried about the success or failure of the operation, has no time to make a battle plan, so the troops can only temporarily retreat for rest.

"Do you know what that means? You don't know. Zhao Zhi drank the cup dry in one gulp, smiling a little mysteriously. With that kind of thing, Thunder will no longer have to look at the faces of the Americans, not only the Americans, but the Thunder will not need to look at anyone's faces at all, maybe they will have to be careful to befriend us, otherwise they and their country will not be able to afford that kind of consequences. Luo Ying and Ye Kong glanced at each other helplessly and concentrated on dealing with the steak on the plate, they both thought that Zhao Zhi was talking about wine just now, so they didn't care at all.
