Looking at these numbers, Zhao Liang said a little sourly,
"Not even enough for a battalion!"
"Quite a lot! How many families were there? Less than a thousand households! Look! There were 632 households in the slums, and 53 of them had yet to return!”
As Li Hailong spoke, he picked up the record and flipped through it.
"The total number is 1837. There are a total of 963 people and 216 households in this city. 16 of them are empty…How many people do you think there are? So many people had volunteered to join in such a small number of people! Normally, it would be 10 to 12 people taking care of one child, but now? Less than half! I think there are too many people! From the looks of it, you can't wait to have tens of thousands of people at once, right? Brother comrade, let's be realistic…"
"Then these people…"
"I think we can confirm it again tomorrow. If there are no major problems, then we can all recruit them. If they can't go to the front line with guns, they can still work in logistics.”
"I think it's fine..."
"If half of them are eliminated, it's only enough to make up a company…"
"No way! Aren't you asking for too much? Eliminate half of them?"
"Comrade! That was to go to the front lines! You will lose your life!"
"But this way, won't there be fewer people…"
"Sigh! Why did you only see this much? What about the mountains? What about the entire island? There were still so many small boats in the sea. Who was supporting these boats? Why did he only see this one in front of him! What a peasant…Oh…No! Hey! You're a small landlord, and you can't even get close to a farmer..."
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed out loud when they saw how interesting the two of them were. Some even took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters…
"Sigh! Little landlord…"
"Haha! The little landlord should treat us…"
Zhao Liang looked at him. How could he be at a disadvantage like this?
"Alright, alright! I'm a small landlord, I don't have your eyes! I think you look like that fisherman…Oh! No! He was a sea tyrant! That's right! It was the Sea Tyrant! Even more powerful than that pirate…"
This time, everyone laughed even more happily. A small landlord had just appeared, and now a sea tyrant had appeared!
"Hahaha! Our place is still the best! A landlord and a sea tyrant! Doesn't this mean that the land and Shanghai are all ours?!”
"It's a pity that we don't have a plane. Otherwise, we would have occupied all the land, sea, and air!”
"Don't say it! Doesn't the shipyard on our island have seaplanes? Didn't he have all the land, sea, and air?”
"If we're talking about this plane alone, there's still a Chengdu F-5 at the national defense education base!”
"You call that a plane? Can it fly?"
"It's a plane, right? Besides, if it can be repaired, I think it will be fine!”
"According to what you said, the missile next to the plane should also be repaired. This way, we will even have an aerospace one!”
"What's impossible about that? When these were transported to the exhibition, other than the shells and explosives, the rest were all original goods! It's still inside!"
Captain Zhou, who had been making a ruckus, suddenly interrupted.
"There's such a thing? Why haven't we seen him?"
Captain Wang was a little surprised when he heard that there was a plane.
"Oh! There was such a thing. It was just a seaplane. It had been in the industry for several years. It was the factory manager Wang Ronghua who was making it. It was called a plane, but it was not much faster than a motorboat. Moreover, it was too small and could not fly far! Initially, she had heard him say that he wanted to make it bigger, but later on, he had to move, so there was no sound.”
Captain Wang didn't ask further and changed the topic."
"Just now, Xiao Zhao made a scene with you! I suddenly had a new idea! You call him a landlord, but he calls you a sea tyrant! Although it was a joke, it was really something!”
"Cough! Xiao Zhao, listen to it too! See if there are any supplements! I mean, we can form two forces. One is the sea, although it's a little early to talk about the navy! But that was the meaning! We want to form our own real navy! On the other hand, it's from the landlord's side…"
Captain Wang smiled apologetically at Zhao Liang as if he was the one who gave him the number.
"That's a regular army! Of course, we can't do that yet, so let's form a Marine Corps first! Those who were eliminated would form the island's defense force! I think it should be possible under the current circumstances!
Then, he would build an army based on the situation! Air Force…We must have it! I plan to go back and discuss it with Factory Manager Wang as soon as possible. I'll also look around the island. There should still be people who like this plane! This was a long-term matter. He had to have a plan first, no matter how long it would take! We must get it out!"
"What's wrong? Captain Wang, do you plan to return to the island?"
"That's right! Although it's only been two days since we've gotten to this point, I think we can basically say that we have a rough outline. We've already made a good start here.
Therefore, the next problem was how to develop and grow. The problem was much less!! "The following problems will focus on our island. How to plan and arrange, how to use the resources, and so on. Once this is done, it's time for us to fire at the British!
So I thought, I'll go back after the situation stabilizes in the next two days. I'll come back when the situation stabilizes over there! The two of you will be in charge of this place. One will be in charge of the sea and the other will be in charge of the land. When I'm not around, Xiao Li will be in charge of everything. Do you have any more questions to add?”
"What about the publicity?"
" Keep it the same. We don't want to be the target of public criticism yet, so we have to make good use of those two businessmen and bury ourselves in developing our strength. As long as we firmly remember the saying,'political power comes from the barrel of a gun', we will not be afraid no matter where we go!”
"Then how are we going to organize these people tomorrow?”
"You guys can discuss the specific details…Hehe! It's getting late. Go to bed. You know, people who don't rest can't work!”
Li Hailong, Zhao Liang, and the others rolled their eyes at each other and looked at Captain Wang discontentedly. However, she was indeed old and could not stay up late! It was better to be more considerate…
Let's not talk about Li Hailong and Zhao Liang's arrangements. Now, let's look at the performance of the locals after the cocktail party.
Speaking of which, after the meeting ended, the local bosses were still in a state of excitement. How could they fall asleep? Therefore, Boss Yu, Boss Ding, and the others did not lose interest. Then, they went to the backyard and refilled their cups of tea. Under the starlight in the sky, they continued their dream of making a fortune. Until now, they still could not believe that such a good thing would fall on their heads!
To them, if they succeeded, it would not be as simple as being able to live in the county behind them. If they had the chance to get first place, no one would want to be second! Of course, this was not something that outsiders could tell!
Now, these people in the backyard were at such a juncture. If they advanced, they would be able to obtain more resources. If they retreated? They had not thought about it yet, and no one had thought about such a simple question! This was what they meant.
"Boss Yu, I think this joint stock company that these masters are talking about should work! I thought about it again and again. Even if I don't work in this company anymore, I still have stock dividends! This way, I still have to spend a lot of energy to care about this company. This way, there will be a lot of people watching. It won't be easy for someone to come up with bad ideas! This idea is too high!"
"That's right! Also, everyone, think about it. In the future, someone with the ability will be in charge of this company! If he didn't manage it well, he could stop him from doing it at any time! Wouldn't he be able to avoid those favors? No one would like those who were incompetent and wanted to make a living in such a company!”
"The two of you are right! I'm also optimistic about the future of such a company! Moreover, we have the Self-Defense Regiment to support us, so ordinary local ruffians won't dare to cause trouble!”
Another boss interrupted,
"You're being a little conservative! Didn't you hear what they said just now? They even wanted to expand to the continent and other parts of the world?”
Boss Ding was a little stunned.
"Other places?"
Boss Yu quickly explained,
"It should be a place like those black and white barbarians, right?!”
When Boss Ding heard this, he became a little timid.
"I won't go to those places! Thinking about this time last year, these barbarians caused a lot of trouble here. I even sent them to their homes to be harmed by them!”
"How rare! I heard from these masters that those barbarians are most afraid of those stronger than them! If we make something they don't have, they'll lick our feet like pugs!”
The other boss was a little unhappy that he didn't hear everything.
"Lick your feet? He even licked his butt! Master said that they would only do this if they were afraid! What did you hear?"
When Boss Ding heard that there was going to be a war, he could not help but become a little anxious.
"Then how can we beat them? Their cannons were firing far away! I saw it with my own eyes during the war last year! Those barbarians on Wukui Mountain are firing their cannons at our city!”
The boss, who had started speaking, cheered him up.
"What are you afraid of? These masters definitely had someone more powerful than them! Otherwise, why would they lock up these barbarians in the county town as soon as they came up?”
Boss Ding thought about it and shook his head.
"I'm a little worried. Look at Master's ship now. It's not even as big as those barbarians 'ships! And there were no cannons on that ship!"
When he said this, these people really remembered that they had never seen any cannons on the ships of these masters.
"Why don't we give them a reminder tomorrow? Or ask them…"
Boss Yu was still the one with strong confidence.
"You guys are really worried about me! Didn't you hear the sound of firecrackers that night? It was ringing continuously! Think about it, who would set off firecrackers in the middle of the night?
Wasn't this the work of these masters? And just like that, the black and white barbarians in the city were locked up! Were these barbarians really so obedient? It must be the firecrackers set off by these masters that made these barbarians afraid! So we just need to think about how we can support them! We don't understand these things about war. We just need to send people to help!”
"Yes, yes, yes! Boss Yu can still see it clearly!"
"That's right! We just need to take care of the company's matters! Earning money is what we want!"
Boss Ding whispered awkwardly,"
"I'm just worried for everyone! There's nothing wrong with being careful!"
"Then we have to thank you for your concern! However, after listening to Boss Yu's words, I decided to go and look for my friends tomorrow. I can't be late for this matter. If I don't hurry up, I won't even be able to drink the soup!”
"Yes! I'll go to my in-laws 'place in the mainland tomorrow. I can't drag him down with me for such a good thing…Otherwise, I'll always hear him say bad things about me in the future…"
"Haha, what a good in-law…"
"No, I have to call my good friend too. His strength is much greater than mine! I'll go to the mainland tomorrow too. Old Jiang, I'll go with you tomorrow…"
"I have to go to Shanghai too. Almost all my friends are there!”
When Old Yu saw that everyone wanted to go and get his friends, he only opened an inn and did not have many friends. He was a little anxious.
"If you all leave, what about me?”
Everyone laughed.
"You're in charge of staying behind! It was just the right time to prepare these documents with these masters! When we come back, we can open for business!"
Some even joked,
"We can rest assured that you'll do it!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
At this point, everyone dispersed. They were all in a hurry to go back and strive to leave early tomorrow.
This was also related to the profession of these small bosses, because they understood the true relationship between capital and wealth! If it were some small landowners, they would only buy land if they had money! If that was the case, there wouldn't be such a result that everyone was filled with hope for!
Chen Dongbiao and his gang didn't have so many worries. They were basically in the ranks of those who had nothing. They were lucky to get it, but it didn't matter if they lost it. Now was not the time to break the old order and establish a new one. It was a matter of who could move faster on the original foundation!
Therefore, these people who lacked resources knew that they could not make it big with one step. They were not as enthusiastic as the local small bosses because those goals were too far away for them. What they needed now was to have rice at home and money in their hands…Therefore, they quickly went to the meeting with the Duke of Zhou with a little hope…
