Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 320 Director of Yunnan Office

Wang Meng chuckled and pulled William, who had a bump on his head, aside.

"William, you and I are friends, you should be able to help me with this little favor, it's just a few hundred more people."

William was horrified and spread his hands out in American helplessness.

"Wang, just a few hundred people? Do you know how valuable the materials transported on our route are?"

Wang Meng patted William on the shoulder and walked to the empty transport planes.

"Come on, William. The Hump Route mainly transports aid from Country M to China. Not much is transported to Country M. But, maybe I can use Franklin to solve this problem!"

William chuckled, he didn't expect that his words would be ruthlessly exposed.

"My king, I was just joking with you. Franklin can certainly solve this problem, but I think it might be easier to use penicillin. After all, penicillin is now as hard currency as gold."

Wang Meng knew that William was definitely trying to take advantage of the opportunity to "blackmail" him.

"Okay, one bottle per person, no more!"

"No, ten bottles per person! Once we get to Country M, we'll have to arrange for food and lodging, as well as training!"

"No, no, no, they are working for you for free, operating the warship for you. Five bottles per person at most! No more!"

William showed a triumphant smile and chuckled.

"make a deal!"

In the end, more than 1,800 aircraft production line trainees and the naval study group all boarded the transport plane. In addition to paying the "goods payment" of 50,000 bottles per month, Wang Meng added an additional 4,000 bottles of penicillin.

Watching the plane take off, Wang Meng found Mao Hang with relief.

"Mao, say hello to Nicholas. Our people will be here soon. Ask him to spend some dollars to smooth things over and place our people in key positions. Don't let them be assigned to the kitchen! Also, help me take care of them. If they don't have enough living expenses, take the money. We will use penicillin to pay for it!"

Mao Hang and Nicholas naturally knew the "value" of this business. After all, the cost of smoothing relations was acceptable as long as it was not too outrageous.

"Mr. Wang, Nicholas will definitely accept this deal. After all, he is very helpful. In addition, the one thousand aircraft production line workers and three thousand Chinese on the warships recruited in Country M have already started, but the cost..."

Wang Meng kept waving his hands. He was very wealthy now. Three production lines could provide 3,000 bottles of penicillin every day, and two more production lines were under construction, which would soon be able to produce 5,000 bottles a day.

"Sprinkle some water! How much is it in total?"

Mao Hang took out the densely packed bill, but Wang Meng was too lazy to even look at it.

"Mr. Wang, we plan to recruit 5,000 people in total, and then select 4,000 qualified candidates. It is expected that they will be in place in about a month. We need to get their visas in the future, so that they will be willing to come to China. We also need to give them subsidies, and we also need to get the people from the Ministry of Defense of Country M..."

Wang Meng quickly made a "stop" gesture to him.

"Mao, I have full trust in you. Just tell me how much it will cost for these Chinese to come back with our people. This is a flat price!"

"Five million dollars! One-stop service. If you have any trouble in the future, we will help you solve it together!"

"three million!"

"four million!"

"make a deal!"

Mao Hang smiled and took out an employment agreement and asked Wang Meng to sign it.

"Mao, you and Nicholas have to work hard for me. These people will be our backbone in the future. Don't let me train them to be half-baked. If I do, I will make trouble for you!"

Mao Hang put the signed agreement into his pocket and then patted his chest loudly.

"Mr. Wang, please rest assured. As long as the money is in place, the quality must be guaranteed for you. If there are any problems, just come to me, Mao Hang!"

Wang Meng nodded. He still trusted Mao Hang and Nicholas. After all, they had been working together for so long without any problems.

What's more, they didn't dare to deceive Wang Meng, otherwise, he would change the dealer in anger and Nicholas would suffer a great loss.

Mao Hang deducted four million from the ten million yuan payment for the last delivery and gave five million yuan in gold to Wang Meng.

"Mr. Wang, why are you using gold this time?"

"Well, we are going to use this money for some development, building roads, bridges and houses. It would be smoother to use gold in China."

Mao Hang felt a little emotional. What kind of place is southern Shanxi that requires so much money to build?

"Mr. Wang, I hope that one day I can go to Jinnan to see it in person."

"You're welcome anytime, but I have something to trouble you with first. Of course, I'll use Franklin to do it!"

Mao Hang held his forehead with his hand and pretended to be calm.

"It doesn't matter whether it's for money or not. I just want to work with you more and make some extra money!"

Wang Meng told Mao Hang about the plan to form a ground force in Yunnan and asked him to help organize recruitment in Yunnan.

The reason for recruiting soldiers in Yunnan was that the troops in Shanxi were unable to spare any manpower and could not be transferred to Yunnan to fight.

On the other hand, the soldiers recruited locally in Yunnan are more familiar with Yunnan’s climate and terrain, and will be braver in defending their hometown.

Therefore, Wang Meng decided to draw the backbone from the independent column, and the rest of the troops would be recruited locally.

"Mr. Wang, I wonder how to calculate the money for this business?"

"How about this, recruit student soldiers for me at 20 dollars apiece, and those who can read, drive, or shoot artillery, in short, those who have some skills, at 10 dollars apiece, and the rest at 5 dollars apiece."

Mao Hang counted on his fingers and figured that if he could recruit 500 student soldiers, that would be $, so this deal was worth doing.

"Okay, then how many people are we going to recruit for this ground force?"

"Well, I haven't thought about that. You recruit first. The more the better. It would be best if you could recruit a division for me!"

"Okay, but don't deny it when the time comes! I can't afford the food, drink, and toilet of this division. By the way, you have to give me a title. You can't let me recruit soldiers just by talking nonsense, right?"

Wang Meng thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. There were so many young men available for conscription now. If he didn't use the banner of an independent column, he probably wouldn't be able to recruit any.

"Okay, then I will appoint you as the director of the Independent Column's Yunnan Office, and give you a guard platoon. However, you can't use this title and the guard platoon to do bad things, otherwise you will be subject to military law!"

Mao Hang touched his neck and felt a chill. Fortunately, he was doing legal business and was not committing fraud.

"Don't worry, when will I start working?"

"Why are you still standing there? Start right away!"
