Chapter 169 Preparations before going to Riyadh
Commander Wu did not expect that the officer he sent over would be such a coward. He said to Lu Chen with great shame:
"I am so ashamed. I will immediately send another officer over to replace Wang Ze."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Jiaming also became worried about the troops he had sent. He asked:
"Xiao Chen, what about Wu Jie and the others? How are their training going over there?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Wu Jie and his men are doing pretty well over there. They have agreed to participate in the actual combat. I will arrange for them to go to the battlefield for actual combat next month. Let them see how Europeans fight."
"Arrange them to fight with the Europeans?"
Commander Wu looked at Lu Chen in surprise.
Lu Chen smiled but said nothing. He didn't dare to say that he was arranging Wu Jie and his men to fight against Europe. Given the current attitude of the Chinese towards foreigners, if he told them, they would definitely not agree to let their troops go to the battlefield for no reason.
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't say anything, Commander Wu thought that Lu Chen agreed. Cooperating with the Europeans in the war made Commander Wu a little tempted. He said:
"Lu Chen, can you also deploy my troops to the battlefield?"
Lu Chen said with difficulty: "Commander Wu, this may be difficult. I have already submitted the list, and there is no way to change it now."
Commander Wu was very disappointed and even more dissatisfied with Wang Ze. This was a good opportunity to contact European powers, but that idiot Wang Ze just gave up on it.
If he could get the support of a great power, he could compete with Chiang Kai-shek. Thinking of this, General Wu wanted to drag Wang Ze out and execute him.
Commander Wu said to Lu Chen with a disappointed look on his face: "If that's the case, then forget it."
Seeing that Commander Wu was very disappointed, Lu Chen decided to give him some hope. He said, "Commander Wu, don't be disappointed. If they need more people next time, I will definitely arrange for your troops to go up."
Commander Wu said: "Thank you, Lu Chen."
Then, Commander Wu seemed to have forgotten that he came here to urge Lu Chen to deliver the goods, and kept chatting with Lu Chen and his brother. It was not until they were almost finished eating that Commander Wu spoke:
"Xiao Chen, I wonder how the output of your arsenal is."
Lu Chen replied: "The output is OK."
"Then can you give Wu more weapons every month? Many of my troops are still using old cartridges."
Lu Chen was silent at this time. He had asked Li Qiang to keep more than 10,000 rifles, and there would definitely be no extra rifles in the next few months. In addition, William had been selling weapons. Lu Chen said with some embarrassment:
"Commander Wu, I actually want to give you all the orders as soon as possible. But my arsenal is just a small one, and the output is limited. I can only give you 10,000 to 20,000 rifles every month. I really can't give you more than that."
"Then why don't you expand the arsenal a little bit?"
Commander Wu asked.
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "General Wu, the expansion of this factory cannot be completed just by saying it. It requires the purchase of equipment, personnel, and a series of other things. And my arsenal has also been expanding. It's just that the construction is slow."
Commander Wu shook his head in disappointment. He felt that he might not have checked the almanac before going out today, and all he received was bad news. Helplessly, he could only say:
"Okay, then I won't make it difficult for Brother Lu Chen. If you have extra weapons, just give them to me first."
Lu Chen quickly said, "Okay, if the production volume on my side increases, I will definitely complete your order first."
After chatting with Lu Chen, Commander Wu was no longer in the mood to eat. He put down his chopsticks and said:
"I have some things to take care of today, so I'll be leaving now. You two can enjoy your meal."
The Lu Chen brothers tried to persuade him to stay, but Commander Wu really didn't want to stay here. The Lu Chen brothers had no choice but to let Commander Wu leave alone.
After Commander Wu left, only the Lu Chen brothers were left at the table. Lu Jiaming thought for a moment and asked:
"Xiao Chen, have you sent those two people away?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I have sent them away. They are probably back to where they came from."
After Lu Jiaming learned that Lu Chen had sent the two rabbit brothers away, he felt relieved. He was really worried that Lu Chen would be implicated by these two people. He said happily:
"It's good that they've been sent away. It's good that they've been sent away. Don't contact those people again. The people from the military station are trying to catch them now. Don't get into trouble."
Lu Chen said disdainfully:
"Don't worry, bro. I'm an American citizen. They don't dare to touch me. The most they can do is drive me out of China."
After having dinner with Lu Jiaming, Lu Chen returned to the company. Now that the things in China have been basically dealt with, Lu Chen began to prepare for his trip to Riyadh.
He has been in China for so many days, and the people from Qingmu Hall are probably already in the Indian Ocean. He has to set off quickly to deploy these people to the battlefield.
He first bought a boat ticket to Riyadh, and then returned to the company. Lu Chen thought that he would definitely not come back before Xiao Rizi launched the first Magic City War after leaving China this time.
He thought about it, found William, and said to him:
"William, after I leave, find an opportunity to move the company to the concession."
William looked at Lu Chen in confusion. He did not understand Lu Chen's request. He asked:
"Boss, why do you want to move the company to the concession? Isn't it good here now?"
Lu Chen didn't know how to explain to William. He couldn't tell William that he could predict the future. He thought about it and could only use the fact that he took in Brother Rabbit. He said:
"We have been targeted by those military officers. They will definitely send people to keep an eye on our company from time to time. Then our business will be difficult to do. You know, those who come to us to buy weapons are usually people who have a bad relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. If something happens to these people, our business will be ruined.
After moving to the concession, even if the people in the military station want to do something, they won’t dare to do it in the concession. That way, our customers will be much safer.”
Although Lu Chen said this reason was far-fetched, there was still a slight possibility. William thought about it and agreed to Lu Chen's request. He said:
"Okay, I'll go to the concession and buy a house in a few days."
Lu Chen continued, "Also, you probably know my second brother's identity now. I would also like you to help me ensure his safety as much as possible."
"Boss, don't worry. Manager Lu is the sales champion of our company. I will protect him."
After explaining these things, Lu Chen said goodbye to Lu Yunting again, and then left the company with Ike and headed towards the dock.
