(Today, when the Party Secretary of the Bureau gave an example, he used the example of an American landing in Incheon. The secretary told us passionately, "McAqin landing in North Korea..." I was stunned at that time. Who is MacAqin? MacAqin's sister?)

Accident and surprise flashed by, and Zhao Yi returned to his original cold expression.

He stared at Wesley silently, and the smoke accumulated in his lungs slowly spewed out of his nostrils, as if it was speechless sarcasm and ridicule.

Wesley was wearing a satin nightgown. His eyes were a little red, probably because he drank a lot of wine last night. The waistband was loose and his chest was half open. Although he was tall, he was far less powerful than Zhao Yi, and there was no muscle under his frivolous and white skin.

The door on the balcony opposite suddenly opened, and a young girl "Girl" who had almost nothing to wear ran out with a smile. She hugged Wesley's waist from behind, looked at Zhao Yi with a seductive look for a few seconds, leaned close to Wesley's ear, whispered a few words, and ran back to the room. In the two open and closed glass doors, noisy laughter, rapid and heavy breathing, and charming moans. The sound was very messy, with men and women.

Wesley narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Yi, as if he wanted to find something that he was interested in from him. He looked at each other silently for nearly five minutes. He suddenly took off the cigarette butt in his mouth, threw it on the ground, stepped on one foot and crushed it out, and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at Zhao Yi, then turned around and walked into the room with a sneer.

Zhao Yi raised his head and looked at the sky. He smiled faintly and muttered to himself in a very light voice: "I really don't understand where some people's arrogant capital comes from? What are they thinking in their minds?"

Take out the mini communicator from your trouser pocket and skillfully press a few buttons. Soon, Stanley's smiling face had appeared in the light blue holographic light curtain.

"Boss, you look good today."

Stanley was using breakfast. He was complimenting without losing his compliment while holding the fried bacon into the bread.

"the same as you."

Zhao Yi responded with a smile, then went straight to the core of the topic: "I suddenly became interested in the clothing business. What do you think?"

The main business area of ​​the Turnbull family is clothing.

"It depends on your specific requirements."

As she talked about a more professional topic, Stanley put down the bread in her hand and asked seriously: "Which aspect do you plan to focus on? Are you creating a new brand yourself? Or are you already having the goal to take over?"

"Have you heard of the Turnbull family?" Zhao Yi asked back.

Stanley was stunned, and an extremely strange expression appeared on his face: "If I remember correctly, they were just accused of failing to deliver the goods on time and were facing compensation issues of hundreds of billions of yuan."

"Tenbull Clothing Company is taking the upper-level boutique route. Their women's clothing production and leather goods are very exquisite, and several of its brands are very distinctive. If possible, I would like to hear people from the Turnbull family call me "Boss".

Zhao Yi had a smile on his face, but his expression was very serious.

For a moment, Stanley did not answer, but fell into deep thought. Zhao Yi was also very conscious and did not continue to speak, so as not to affect the other party's thinking———He knew that the subordinate's ability was able to make him think about things that had been long in the field of expertise. It would be difficult to solve. But as long as he agreed, it means that Stanley was absolutely sure of solving the problem.

"Before I made a reply, I thought... can you answer me a question first."

After a few minutes, Stanley finally spoke. However, his eyes were a little hesitant.

Zhao Yi nodded calmly: "Tell me!"

"What is your goal? I mean, like last time I dealt with the Todd family, just bankrupt them? Get control from them at the lowest price? Or just want to participate in the daily affairs of Turnbull Clothing Company and share the dividends?"

Stanley spoke very carefully and carefully, and obviously he didn't want to misunderstand Zhao Yi because of Mo Ling's words.

"What advice do you have on this?"

There was no emotional change on Zhao Yi's face.

“I suggest you choose the second way to participate———”

Stanley speeded up his speech: "The Turnbull family is much larger than the Todd family. Their total assets are as high as 100 billion yuan. Although hundreds of billions of yuan of compensation must be paid, they will be able to earn back sooner or later. With the scale of assets we currently own and cash available, it is not realistic to swallow Turnbull Company. We also lack enough personnel to manage them. Therefore, the safest way is to buy a large amount of shares in Turnbull Company while the stock price is currently sluggish, so that they can be responsible for making money, and we will share the dividends."

As he said that, Stanley pulled a microcomputer from the side, calculated quickly, turned his attention to the video footage, and said, "If we use all the cash we currently have as a purchase, we can get about 11% of the shares. Of course, this is just an estimated number, and the actual number may be more than this."

"Do your best to acquire shares in the Turnbull family!"

Zhao Yi's voice was low and gentle: "I will add another 500 million to the company's account. I can buy as much as I can."

Stanley opened his mouth and slowly closed it. After a long and disturbing silence, he raised his head and frowned and said, "Sir, I still say the same thing--If you want to get the most profit in a short period of time, the best way is to put the money into the stock market. If you insist on participating in the Turnbull family's industry, I will still spare no effort to execute your orders. But... there is one thing that I must let you know."

“What is it?”

Zhao Yi looked at him, with a serious look in his gentle eyes.

"About the last Todd family acquisition, it was not entirely caused by our secret operations. In fact, Todd Foods has a very good reputation, but the bank refused to give them any assistance at the last minute, and even terminated the loan agreement early. I asked Mr. Gruber afterwards, and he claimed he had not intervened in this regard. I also carefully checked. Except for us, no company or individual profited from the Todd acquisition. We were the only winners. But... this is not normal."

"You mean, someone is secretly helping us?"

Stanley's words aroused Zhao Yi's alertness.

"I don't know. Because I have no evidence."

Stanley spread his hands: "Maybe, the other party wants to express his affection for you in this way. Or, they have some extra purpose. But no matter what, these are uncontrollable factors. As the old saying goes, "No matter what you plan to do, you must first make the worst."

"Is this your advice to me?"

Zhao Yi looked at him quietly for a while and suddenly laughed.

"I just want to advise you not to over-spread the stall."

Stanley's face was serious and serious: "The operation of the food company has just improved, and the production scale is urgently needed to expand. I don't want to mess up this promising business because of external factors. You should understand that too much is not necessarily chewed."

"I sincerely accept your suggestions. I hope you will continue to give me more reminders in this regard in the future."

Zhao Yi kept his head in his arms and said in honorific words: "You don't have to worry about financial issues. However, there seems to be no conflict between the two with food companies and clothing companies. Haha! What do you think?"

Stanley nodded with a wry smile, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "You are right. After all, you are the real boss."

......

The Eleventh Earth Defense Management Zone is located in the northwest of the S12 Mine. The mountains here are endless and the vegetation is quite dense. Looking down from a high altitude, you can see a road winding and winding out of the mountains. If you do not care about the air defense missiles and anti-aircraft machine guns that are hidden in the mountains. Continue to move deep into the mountains along the road, you will be surprised to find that among the layers of rocky valleys, there are tall aerospace launch towers, and dozens of heavy combat vehicles with strong firepower and superior performance.

This is the camp where the "Thorn Flower" Legion is set on Earth. It is also the headquarters of Major General Gerald.

This thick and powerful office reflects the general's simple thinking that practicality is greater than beauty. Except for a desk made of huge logs, all the decorations in the room are almost all stacked with empty ammunition boxes, closets, racks, coffee tables, dining tables... Even under the camp bed, the outline of several anti-infantry grenades was vaguely exposed. However, judging from the general's calm facial expression, he did not seem to be worried about the effect of this kind of thing after the explosion.

"Your garrison application has been approved."

Gerald closed his eyes slightly, massaged his temples with his left hand, and threw a document on his right hand to Zhao Yi, who was on the opposite side of the table. He groaned and said, "If General Zhou hadn't intervened, the damn officials in Capital Star would have locked this thing in the cabinet for at least half a year. Until you can't bear it and take the initiative to send them a large sum of money, you can get a reply letter covered with countless stamps in one to two years."

Zhao Yi opened the folder and quickly swept across the paper. After confirming that there were no problems with several of the key words, he closed the documents, nodded seriously, and said, "Thank you!"

"I have repeatedly checked the survey archives about the planet AG64, and there are reports on the acquisition of resource mining companies there in recent times. There is nothing but sand. I'm curious, why did you choose such a ghost place?"

Gerald picked up the coffee and took a few sips, asking very bluntly.

"You want to hear the truth?"

Zhao Yi had an extremely gentle smile on his face, giving people a feeling of sunshine.

"certainly!"

Gerald was a little displeased. He shook the cup with a small amount of coffee left, licked his lips and said, "I don't want you to suffer losses in this kind of thing. If you want, it's still time to switch to another planet with rich resources. Hell, how could you think of that kind of place, what kind of damn garrison officer?"

The general's way of speaking was obviously too vulgar, and there were often harsh dirty words mixed in it. But Zhao Yi knew that he was doing it for his own good. Moreover, Gerald was one of the few people he could believe at the moment.

"I have carefully reviewed the relevant legal provisions. According to military regulations, garrison officers have the qualifications to recruit people on the garrison planets and establish guard forces."

Although it was just two short sentences, it was enough to show Zhao Yi's intentions and also made Gerald stunned on the spot.

"Build a guard force? You, do you know what that means?"

After a few minutes of silence, Gerald took a deep breath and asked solemnly: "Is this your purpose?"

"You and General Zhou both said that I am a soldier."

Zhao Yi's voice was very plain: "Since he is a soldier, there will always be a day when he goes to the battlefield. I don't want to be the commander of a low-combat force at that time. I only believe in my own people, just like I believe in you."

Gerald frowned and leaned back on the chair. He looked at Zhao Yi and asked uncertainly: "You have to understand that there are no armed personnel available for recruitment on the ore planet. There are only civilians there. It is impossible for the federal government to send you an army specifically."

"I recruit civilians———"

Zhao Yi said calmly: "As long as they are given enough food and weapons, they only need to train for six months at most, and any of them can become qualified soldiers."

Suddenly, Gerald's eyes widened. He felt an anxious voice chewing his heart wildly.

"You... do you know what you are talking about?"

The general quickly lowered his voice and roared in anger: "The Federal Constitution strictly prohibits civilians from joining the army. Once you do so, you will be an enemy of the entire Federation."

Zhao Yi was still staring at the general calmly, his eyes shaking slightly. His eyes were filled with indescribable gratitude. Although Gerald's attitude was a little hot, he could clearly feel it. He was indeed considering himself.

"I'm not so arrogant yet..."

Zhao Yi sat upright and said solemnly: "I have reviewed relevant provisions and regulations--In special circumstances, the federal government allows garrison officials to select a certain number of personnel from local civilians, equip them with armed forces, and form a militia-style security force."

Gerald's anger slightly eased, and his face was solemn———It can be seen that Zhao Yi was serious. Such regulations do exist in federal laws. However, he still did not agree with Zhao Yi's statement.

"You don't seem to understand that the security forces referred to here are just militias responsible for maintaining public order on the ground."

The general frowned: "The federal government will not give them compensation. They only give normal military rations. These people have little combat power. They may be grateful to you because of the food, but they will never be loyal to you. Let alone work hard. The most important thing is that the security forces must not leave their planet under any excuses. Unless... they can pass the review of parliament and military departments and be dispatched in the form of recruitment. However, there has never been a precedent for such things. Civilians do not trust citizens, and citizens hate civilians very much. These are simply two completely different social groups."

"What I want is the security forces."

Zhao Yi replied in his usual thoughtful tone: "As long as there are these people, there is order. This is the basis for managing a planet."

He almost blurted out the word "rule". At the critical moment, he still swallowed the words that were almost at his mouth and quickly converted them into "management".

Gerald was silent, while Zhao Yi was patiently waiting for his answer. For a moment, the atmosphere returned to calm again, and you could even hear the rhythmic beating of the watch pointer on your wrist.

"Okay! I can declare a limit of 2,000 armed civilians for you. The establishment is tentatively set to be a Type B regiment. But you must pay attention to collecting the number of residents on the planet AG64, as well as environmental and security information. If these data reach a certain level, the limit of the troops can also be increased according to actual conditions."

The general looked at Zhao Yi's eyes and said seriously: "You'd better not hide anything from me in this matter. You should know that in this world, there are many things that cannot be touched, let alone involve them personally. Although I don't know what you are thinking, I still want to remind you again - no matter what you do, think about your parents first. They are the most famous heroes of the Earth Federation. And you... are their only son."

Zhao Yi nodded silently.

"Now, let me tell you about your requirements - if you want to go to ag64 to serve as a garrison officer, you still need a lot of supplies. I will do my best to meet your requirements. If you like it, mark it in the blank column at the back and list the specific quantity."

Gerald bent over and took out a blank form from the document box under the table, and handed it to Zhao Yi with a pen with a loose cap.

......

Huge cargo spacecraft landed frequently at the ag64 base, which has become a special scenery in this area.

Food, cloth, clothing, medical devices, medicines, weapons... containers loaded with various types of goods occupy 30% of the space in the first underground storage warehouse of the base. But this number is already very considerable. If converted into a specific tonnage or number of pieces, "ten thousand" must be used as the most basic calculation unit.

Gerald did not break his promise. On the day Zhao Yi obtained the garrison officer qualification certificate, the logistics department of the "Thorn Flower" Legion had sent six cargo ships. The total amount of cargo unloaded on the planet ag64 reached a full six thousand tons.
Chapter completed!
