Chapter 282 How to solve it
Bernard? Chen Yang's mind was slightly moved. It should still be about the two production lines.
The two production lines prepared for the East China Refinery were ordered in October last year, but have been delayed for nearly half a year.
If he hadn't paid half of the deposit early on, he wouldn't have wanted either of these two production lines...
You have to know that it took Gary just over a month to ship the production line from the United States.
"Please let him in," Chen Yang waved his hand. He wanted to hear what reason Bernard was going to use this time.
There was the sound of leather shoes, and Bernard appeared in front of the office door with a smile on his face. “Boss Chen, no, I should call you Chief Chen here.”
"Mr. Bernard, we Chinese have a saying that goes, 'If someone shows kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.'"
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to act so, uh, wretched."
"Nothing, nothing." Bernard muttered for a long time, and then sighed and said: "This time I still hope that Chief Chen can give me another month."
"I know this is a very presumptuous request, but I can assure you that the production line will arrive in Shanghai before March."
"It will definitely not delay your production progress."
Chen Yang sneered and said, "Mr. Bernard, if I remember correctly, this should be the third time you have requested a delayed delivery."
"From the end of December, to the end of January, and now until March, do you think I can still trust you?"
"Captain Chen, you can trust me one last time." Bernard was almost swearing.
"Mr. Bernard, according to the agreement, you should pay me three times the amount of the goods, a total of one million US dollars."
Bernard's face fell. One million dollars would be enough for him to work for several years in vain.
Moreover, if he had to pay this money, the reputation of his business would be ruined.
You know, the Third Reich was known for its integrity and meticulousness.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance," Chen Yang looked at Bernard and said, "I want to invite Mr. Feldman to dinner. I wonder if Mr. Bernard can introduce me."
"You want to see Feldman?" Bernard's expression froze and he looked at Chen Yang warily.
"I don't think Mr. Feldman would want to have anything to do with you."
"Nothing is absolute in this world," Chen Yang said with a smile, "and I believe Mr. Bernard will do his best to facilitate our meeting. After all, it is related to the reputation of your company."
"This..." Bernard looked at Chen Yang's smiling face, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became more solid.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
Watching Bernard leave, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Contacting Feldman was the task assigned by Li Xianshu.
In fact, Chen Yang thought that given the relationship between Kuroda Yusuke and Bernard, it would be more appropriate to give it to him rather than to himself.
However, Li Xianshu insisted on doing it herself, and I believe her starting point was to gain some credit for herself.
Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
"Bagaya Deer,"
"What does he want to do? What on earth does he want to do?" General Nishio slammed his fist on the table, scaring several people in the room so much that their faces changed.
Zhongxi Gong picked up the telegram on the ground, put it solemnly on the desk and said: "The person who sent the telegram from Hanoi asked us to help to rectify military discipline. I think it is also necessary."
"He is the most suitable puppet we have chosen. We have to help him stand on the stage and put away the table. Then, we have to help sing the play that needs to be sung."
"Stupid," General Nishio sneered, "Do you think he was able to stay in that position for so long just by talking?"
"Improve military discipline. He has never even led a soldier. Does he know what military discipline is?"
"Humph, I heard from Mr. Tu Feiyuan that many people have come to him before he even came back."
"Before, Liang Hongzhi only had two security regiments and three puppet army divisions, with a total force of less than 40,000."
"Since he announced that he would return home at the end of March, more than 100,000 people have come to join him."
"And they are regular troops. If we add the security groups and bandits scattered around, the number would be at least over 200,000."
"Two hundred thousand troops, this is not a small number."
"He is using this as an excuse to ask us to improve military discipline and help him appease those puppet army leaders. Frankly speaking, he is openly asking us for weapons and equipment."
"The most important thing is that these are just some of the vanguard troops. If others knew that surrendering has benefits, this number would probably continue to increase."
"Do you think the Empire is a charity?"
Zhong Xigong was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "Mr. Xiwei, even so, you have to obey his arrangements."
"You want me to compromise with a puppet?" General Nishio couldn't believe his ears.
This is the dog they raised, who dared to bare his teeth at his owner. Instead of teaching him a lesson, they actually use bones to appease him?
Zhong Xigong smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Xiwei, you should know the personalities of those people better than I do."
"They can run away from the battlefield in order to save their lives, regardless of the fact that the entire battle line will collapse and more people will die because of their escape."
"In order to save their lives, they can surrender to us without dignity, and even bear the stigma of being a traitor."
"But if you attack them, even if you only encroach on a tiny bit of the benefits they originally saw, they will hate you even more, and even fight you to the death."
"And I can assure you that they can find a thousand good reasons,"
"Shameless..." General Nishio was furious.
"These Chinese people treat us like pigs, taking a bite out of us one by one."
Zhong Xigong shook his head and said, "Mr. Nishio, you can't say that."
"The population of China is too large. Even though the war is so severe and the population has dropped sharply, there are still at least 400 to 500 million people."
"How are you going to manage so many people? Kill them all? Can you kill them all?"
"The best outcome is not to use a puppet to govern them."
“So, these expenses are something you should have thought about a long time ago.”
Commander Nishio was stunned. Even though he didn't want to admit Nakanishi's point of view, he knew that what Nakanishi said was true.
There are too many Chinese people to kill, and even the former expeditionary force commander Matsui Iwane who took the blame knew very well that killing alone would not solve any problems.
To deal with China, we ultimately have to choose a conciliatory policy and let the Chinese manage themselves.
"But this is equipment for 200,000 people? Are we just going to give it to them for free?" Commander Nishio was obviously very distressed.
"Who said we should give it to them?" Zhong Xigong came forward and whispered, "Don't they have an economic advisor from the Finance Department in Shanghai?"
