Maybe it's because he hasn't worn a military uniform for more than half a year, or it may be because Tang Ning hasn't adapted to the identity of a soldier at all, so he always feels very awkward when he wears a military uniform, far less natural than wearing a suit usually, but today he has to wear a military uniform, and he has to show the style of a senior officer of the U.S. military, because today he wants to meet with some representatives of the Ryukyuan people as a senior officer of the U.S. military, so as to give them confidence, so although the rank of captain, especially civilian captain, is not a senior officer, but today he also had to act like a senior officer.

With Downing's heart, he didn't like to engage in this kind of formalistic activities, but there was no way, if he didn't do this, those Ryukyuan people would have no bottom in their hearts, because they had been bullied and scared by the Japanese over the years, and now the Japanese were afraid that the Americans were afraid of death, and the Ryukyuan people were naturally more afraid of the Americans, and the American soldiers had indeed done a lot of things that were not human on the island in the past two years, so there must be a powerful figure that they recognized, and they would approve of sending their sons, nephews, and villagers to work in Tangning's factory.

Therefore, today Tang Ning was rarely wearing a straight military uniform, wearing a large number of medals whose names and meanings he didn't know, with a serious expression on his face, and a step that he thought was very steady and majestic under his feet, and walked into the living room in the company of Junichi Aoyama and Endo, the originally slightly noisy sound in the room immediately became silent the moment he walked in, and everyone was staring at Tang Ning tightly, with doubts, hope, and scrutiny in these eyes

If it was Tang Ning who was facing this situation a year ago, he would definitely become extremely unnatural under these gazes, but after more than a year of tempering, Tang Ning's state of mind has matured a lot, and he turned a blind eye to these gazes, still walking towards the main seat in the center with a serious expression and steady steps.

When Tang Ning walked to the side of the main seat, Junichi Aoyama introduced: "Everyone, let me formally introduce to you, this is Mr. Tang Ning, the boss of Tangning Industrial Park and a staff officer of the US Army Captain!" ”

With Aoyama's introduction, there was a round of applause at the bottom, Tang Ning pressed his hands weakly, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please sit down, I am very happy to meet the elites from all walks of life in Okinawa here today, and I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate and jointly build Okinawa better!" ”

After speaking, Tang Ning sat down, and Junichi Aoyama stood up and continued: "Mr. Tang Ning plans to relocate the Coca-Cola factory, nylon factory, ZIPPO lighter factory, and camel cigarette factory in Tokyo to our Okinawa, and expand the scale in an all-round way, so we need to recruit a large number of workers. Downing's factory in Tokyo is known for its good salary, the number of people queuing up to apply for jobs is countless, this time to our Okinawa, but also made a commitment, not only to ensure the economic interests of employees, but also to ensure the personal safety of employees' families, as long as they move into the staff family area, whether Japanese or American soldiers, will not come in to harass, so please go back to help do more publicity, mobilize young people to apply. ”

After a while, a gray-haired old man stood up and asked Tang Ning, "Mr. Tang Ning, may I ask you a question?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and replied, "Please speak." ”

The old man coughed lightly and asked, "You are also an American, so how can you ensure that those American soldiers will not come to disturb your employees, is it possible that when they rush over drunk and rush over, you can still beat them out?" ”

Tang Ning stood up and explained: "I believe that this question of yours should be a question in the minds of many people here, here I will focus on explaining, my factories are all munitions factories affiliated to the Allied Logistics Department, and all products are to be supplied to the US military units stationed in various Japanese departments on a regular basis, so any behavior that interferes with the production of the factory is a violation of military discipline, and according to the regulations, I have a part of the duties of the military police, so if American soldiers come to my factory to attack and harass, I can not only beat them, They even have the right to kill them, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

In fact, Downing is bragging when he says this, how can he have the power of a military police officer as a little captain without a military rank, but in this situation, he must boast about Haikou in order to win the trust of these people, and then again, he is not all bragging, in Okinawa he does have the power to punish soldiers who violate discipline, because this power was bought by him for 100,000 US dollars from old Robert, so there is definitely no problem in punishing soldiers who violate discipline and protecting their employees, as for shooting soldiers, it is pure bragging.

But these people in the room didn't know the details inside, and after getting Tang Ning's categorical answer, and seeing Endo's qualification certificate for the munitions supplier issued by the Allied Logistics Department, these local Ryukyu magnates and elders were convinced of Tang Ning's ability and identity.

Another middle-aged man stood up and asked, "Mr. Tangning, can you talk about your specific planning for the factory and your specific requirements for recruiting employees?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and replied: "It should be basically the same as what Mr. Aoyama told you before, the factories that need to be relocated are the four ones mentioned just now, and the planning is designed according to twice the size of the Tokyo factory, which has been communicated with General Robert, who is in charge of garrisoning Okinawa." The number of employees should also increase by 50% year-on-year, and the general requirements are that employees who are healthy, hard-working, quick to accept, and have strong hands-on ability will be assigned to positions with strong technical skills; Those with good physical fitness and poor knowledge base will be assigned to physical positions. In short, more people will be needed in the initial stage, and when the factory is running normally, the recruitment will be smaller. Regardless of the position, it will be paid according to the current salary level in Tokyo. However, if you are found to have cheated and cheated, my punishment will be much stricter or even harsher than that of ordinary factories, so please be prepared. ”

After listening to this, the middle-aged man replied: "This is as it should be, Mr. Tang Ning, you have provided such a generous treatment, and the corresponding punishment must be a little more severe, but I also want to ask, can the families and relatives of all employees move into the absolutely safe family area you just mentioned?" ”

"Only immediate family members, such as wives, children and parents of both spouses, can move in, and if the employee does not have these relatives, then there can be three dependent relatives places, and it is not possible for all relatives to move in, because the scope of the family area is limited after all."

At this time, a young man suddenly stood up and asked, "Mr. Downing, why don't you set up a factory in Tokyo and come to Okinawa?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him straight for a while, and then slowly replied: "Because I hate the Japanese!" ”
