Chapter Ninety-One: The Second Base
For the allegiance of the members of the escort team, Tang Ning is not surprised, when he recruited the escort team, he deliberately selected these orphans who were damaged by the war and had no one to take care of them, in order to be loyal, coupled with the continuous strengthening of brainwashing and allegiance education during the training, it is not surprising that they have today's performance, and most of the skills they have mastered belong to bodyguards and thugs, out of him, it is impossible for other forces to take them in, the reason is very simple, No matter which big man chooses a bodyguard, the first criterion is loyalty, who would dare to use a guard like them that Tang Ning cultivated single-handedly?
After the members of the escort team got up, Matsuda Yoshiko, Ichii Xingna, and Loskova then swore allegiance, for Matsuda Yoshiko and Ichii Hoshina, only Tangning really valued their abilities rather than their bodies, once they left Tangning, it would be difficult to find such a boss again, so they swore very simply. And for Roskova, if she is not loyal to Tangning, it is almost a place to die, without Tangning's action, Mitsubishi will have to destroy him, not to mention that she actually likes her time here, and she is counting on Tangning to save her mother.
After the three of them, Ono, who has always been straight, stood up and asked in a rough voice: "Boss, I'm a rough person, I don't know how to say those beautiful words that twist and turn, I just want to ask you one thing, do you want to take us to war with the government?" ”
Tang Ning couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Why should I take you to war? I am no longer a soldier but just a businessman, how can I get involved in the military anymore, besides, do you think Japan still has the strength to resist the United States? ”
Ono thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, your thing called the atomic bomb is enough." Boss, as long as you don't want to fight anymore, to be honest, boss, it's not that Akakawa Shimada and I didn't want to be loyal to you like those little guys in Endo, but we have been really scared of wars all these years, and we are tired of fighting, and we don't want to go to war anymore with this kind of stable life. So, as long as there is no war, you can let us do anything, and as for the chaebols like Mitsubishi, let them die. ”
After Ono finished speaking, Higashino asked with some hesitation: "Boss, in fact, since the day I decided to take refuge in you, I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day." Although Ono didn't say anything, I believe that everyone has been scolded behind their backs for being an American slave, but I have never taken it seriously, because I know that although you are an American, you have always been very good to the Japanese, and the workers working in your factories, whether it is the salary they receive or the social status they get, are incomparable to ordinary people, and you have never been beaten and scolded by the workers, so the workers have wholeheartedly supported you, although since the establishment of the factory, some people have poisoned and made trouble. But most of the workers are good, so I wonder why you abandoned the Japanese and chose to trust the Ryukyuans. ”
Tang Ning pondered for a while and replied: "First of all, as a soldier, many of my comrades-in-arms and my friends died in the battle against Japan, so it is difficult for me to have a good impression of the country and nation of Japan. Of course, I also know that it was the Japanese politicians and careerists in the military who started the war, as well as those insatiable big chaebols, who had nothing to do with the majority of the Japanese people, but they knew that they knew it, but the preconceived impression had already been created, so it was difficult to change.
In the same way, it is difficult to change my concept, and it is also difficult to change the concept of many Japanese, Japan, a country with an emperor monarchy, is engraved in the bones of the people is too deep, although we in the United States now occupy Japan, and all of Japan is subject to the rule of the United States, both the government and the people of Japan are subject to the rule of the United States, but this is only on the surface, and they do not approve of it in their hearts. This is also against the backdrop of the crackdown on Japanese factories, and once Japanese industry and commerce develop, the disadvantages I will face will multiply. Therefore, in order to save these troubles, I would rather give up the bustling and lively Tokyo with complete supporting facilities, and choose Okinawa, which is sparsely populated and has almost zero industrial base, just because the people here do not have so many bad thoughts about me, and I am relieved that my base camp is set here. ”
In fact, what Tang Ning said was not entirely true, but at this time he had no other way, although he did not trust the Japanese, but these subordinates have always been very loyal to him, and Tang Ning has been very comfortable with each other for more than a year, so he does not want to replace them if possible, after all, it is too time-consuming to re-select and train a group of people, and in two years, the Korean War will start, so what he lacks most now is time.
Higashino continued to ask, "Boss, I can understand your concerns, but I still don't understand a little bit, since you also know that Okinawa has an extremely weak industrial base, why did you choose this place?" Especially the arms manufacturing that you plan to spend a lot of effort into, but there are no such conditions here? ”
"Although the industrial base here in Okinawa is weak, I can also use the strength of the US military base to build completely basic industries, you have been with me for so long, you should know that our cola factory and nylon factory do not have much requirements for the industrial base, as long as there are machines and energy, it is enough. There are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed here in Okinawa, and the basic facilities and equipment are still very complete, so it is no problem to help us survive the first wave, and as long as we are willing to spend money, we can slowly build it.
As for the arms manufacturing you just mentioned, to tell you the truth, I never thought of building here in Okinawa, and I have already looked at a more suitable place, which is even more complete than the supporting facilities in Tokyo, and will also be used as my second base, but I will not tell you the details of this until you are sure to follow me, because it will only hurt you. ”
Dongye knew that Tang Ning was telling the truth, if he didn't continue to follow Tang Ning, but learned such a secret, it was likely to be killed, but to be honest, he never thought of leaving Tang Ning, although he thought that with his own ability, he could have a good life anywhere, but now in this devastated Japan, how could there be so many opportunities for him?
