Hardy Empire 1945

The HD mercenary company was established, but he still lacked a leader. Lanster was in charge of the comprehensive security company, and he had a think tank in the operational command room. Henry was in charge of the intelligence company, and the mercenary company also needed a person in charge.

In the end Lanster recommended John Harris.

John Harris is a member of the think tank of the combat command room. He used to be a colonel of the Marine Corps. He is 42 years old this year. He started as an ordinary Marine Corps soldier and served as a squad leader, a sergeant major, a combat staff officer, and a support team leader.

He performed prominently in World War II, was later promoted to colonel, participated in the war against Japan, and commanded regiment-level units.

However, in this big disarmament, John Harris was not spared and was laid off. He had been a soldier for half his life, and he was a little uncomfortable when he returned to the society. He applied for a job in the company, but he felt very unpleasant to do it.

At the end of 1946, HD Security advertised in newspapers when expanding recruitment, recruiting retired soldiers to join the security company, John Harrison became interested and came to apply, Lanster was a former Marine Corps staff officer, heard about John Harris name, and recruited him into the combat command room.

Hardy felt okay with Lanster's proposal. He had also been in contact with John Harris, and he was a person who did things very neatly.

Also a cruel man.

It is said that in the battle against Japan, he saw a lot of his comrades die. This guy deliberately pretended not to see when the enemy raised the flag and surrendered, and then wiped out all the people on the enemy's position, leaving no survivors.

Let Harris do it. Hardy nodded in agreement.

John Harris was called to the office. He was wearing a combat camouflage uniform. He was about 1.9 meters tall, but he was a little thin, and his cheeks were sunken, which made him look very serious all the time.

You can see from his upright stance that this is a professional soldier whose temperament has been integrated into his blood.

Such people are actually very miserable in society.

What he wanted more was to be on the battlefield all the time, even if he died in battle.

Harris, if you were to be the head of the 'HD Mercenary Company', what would you do first? Hardy asked.

John Harris paused slightly.

The first thing I did was change the company's name.

Hardy was taken aback.

Change your name to what?

HD Security \u0026 Defense, Harris said.

The mercenary company is too harsh, and the security and defense company is much better. You don't have to be alert when you hear it.

Hardy nodded in agreement.

Okay, from now on, you are the head of HD Security and Defense Company, and you start to form your team. As for how to develop next, you should be involved when making the plan? Hadi said.

Yes, I was involved.

Then implement it step by step according to the plan, combat headquarters, special operations training, construction of special operations training bases, construction of air force bases, construction of overseas military bases, and formation of maritime defense forces, all of which need you to achieve, no problem. ? Hardy said.

John Harris was excited, feeling a stream of heat running through his body. He was excited because what he was going to do next was his favorite career.

No problem, I'll do Mr. Hardy. John Harris said loudly.

HD Security and Defense was formally established and began to receive equipment. Hardy and Harris and Colonel Beach came to the logistics department warehouse.

Guns, cannons, vehicles, tanks, equipment,

As long as you fancy, feel free to contact Beech to get it here, our defense company has no restrictions on army equipment.

I have already ordered the planes. There are 10 fighter jets of all kinds, and they are maintaining them. Several people came to the warehouse, and there were large wooden boxes inside.

Hardy patted the big wooden box and said, This is an aircraft engine, and each aircraft will send two sets of engine accessories.

The sea power can only be below the frigate, and those Beechs have also been maintained.

As for the manpower, you can choose from the existing staff of HD Security, or you can choose from the veterans directory. I promised Major General Williams to help him digest 1,000 veterans every year.

Colonel Beach next to him said with a smile, Mr. Hardy, you can promise a lot for the veterans you've dealt with.

Hardy smiled lightly, Don't worry, there will be more in the future. When my logistics company and supermarket chain get up, they can absorb tens of thousands of veterans.

Hardy looked at Harris again. The people we recruited before were mainly marines. Now that we have air and sea power, we must recruit professional personnel. You communicate with Colonel Beach and try to recruit the best.

I know Mr. Hardy. Harris nodded.

Colonel Beach next to him also hurriedly said: Don't worry, Mr. Hardy, I will definitely cooperate with Colonel Harris.

Things are arranged, and the rest is handed over to Harris, who is the boss, providing funds and weapons, and the rest is handed over to professionals. He believes that Harris should do better than himself in terms of details.

He's not a micromanager.

Professional things are naturally left to professional people to do.

......

Hardy suddenly received a report from Henry that day.

Boss, the girl named 'Audrey Hepburn' that you asked me to investigate has been found.

Hardy's heart moved slightly.

Tell me about the investigation.

The girl named Audrey Hepburn is 19 years old. She was born in Brussels, Belgium. Her father is a British banker and her mother is Dutch. She has a baronial title. Audrey Hepburn studied in a noble boarding school in Kent, England when she was young. School.

Later her parents divorced, and she returned to the Netherlands with her mother. At the age of 10, she entered the Ahnheim Conservatory of Music in the Netherlands to study ballet. Later, the Netherlands was occupied by Germany, and her life became very difficult.

That is, this year, Audrey Hepburn went to study at a ballet school called Mary Lambert in London, England. supporting role.

That's the case. Henry finished speaking and looked at Hardy.

Hardy nodded.

The current Hepburn is not the Hepburn of later generations, but just one of thousands of girls.

Hardy called Edward.

Edward, you send someone to England to sign this girl named 'Audrey Hepburn' to the HD agency. Henry has her information, and their people will help you complete the work. Hardy said.

Edward took the information handed over by Hardy, and there was a color photo on it, which showed a rather elegant-looking, but very young girl.

Okay, Mr. Hardy, what about after the signing? Edward asked cautiously.

Boss Hardy's every action was full of deep meaning, Edward couldn't believe that the boss called him here just for an ordinary girl.

Next?

Hardy tapped his fingers on the table.

The current Audrey Hepburn is still very immature, and he is not in a hurry in terms of time, so it is better to let her grow up for another year or two.

After signing the contract, arrange training for her, and then participate in performances, stage plays or supporting roles in movies, and first hone for a period of time. During this time, you let the agent team train her. Hardy said.

I understand Mr. Hardy, I will handle this matter myself.

In response to Hardy's orders, Edward never dared to slack off, he always remembered that he was once a house salesman.

From a small house sale to becoming the president of HD Films, he knows more and more that the boss is his god, a word can make you sit in a high position, and a word can make you lose everything.

Edward, what happened to the other studios after the Paramount Act? Hardy asked.

Not long ago, the Supreme Court ruled that several major film companies were involved in the antitrust law, requiring film production companies not to have two businesses of distribution and projection at the same time.

Major film companies such as Paramount, Universal, and MGM are all sanctioned.

Paramount has agreed to sell the theaters, and is now negotiating with several theater manufacturers. There is no movement from others, but several major film companies have all reduced the number of film productions, and even cut off the planned ones. gone.

I also heard that Paramount is in contact with NBC Television. It seems that they intend to enter the television industry.

Paramount has always been optimistic about the TV industry. When Hardy bought ABC TV station, Paramount was one of the competitors. Now that ABC TV station is in full swing, Paramount is even more optimistic about this industry.

The Paramount Act this time has no impact on Hardy's HD film industry, and it is even beneficial, because the theater chain becomes independent and becomes a free market. Film companies without theater chains will have a bright future. The playback volume is determined by the video quality.

to be frank.

Regarding the Paramount Act, Hardy had some ideas before, such as letting others form a company and secretly acquire a group of theaters.

But after thinking about it, I lost interest.

To be honest, theaters are a big investment with slow results, and he already looks down on them, but this does not prevent him from planning for the future film industry.

Tell Edward to leave.

......

Having been busy for so many days, Hardy is also a little tired. He plans to take a rest and find a place for vacation. Where should he go?

Hardy suddenly thought of a place.

Rocky Mount.

Hardy has an 8,000-acre land under the Rocky Mountains, equivalent to 32 square kilometers, where the Rocky Mountain Mineral Water Company is located.

His new pasture is also here.

Los Angeles is above 0 degrees all the year round, and it will be over after a few rains in winter. However, he heard from the report from the ranch that it has snowed heavily on the Rocky Mountain side. winter in.

When he inspected the Rocky Mountain Mineral Water Plant, he took a look at the scenery on the side of the mountain and said with emotion that if he built a wooden house at the foot of the mountain, it would be interesting to come here for vacation in winter. The manager Adams is a shrewd little old man.

Only three months after Hardy returned to Los Angeles, he received a call from Adams, saying that a holiday house had been built at the foot of the mountain, and Mr. Hardy could come anytime.

Most of the houses in the United States are built with wood, and the construction speed is very fast. The most indispensable thing in the Rocky Mountains is wood.

Hardy verbally promised to have time to go there to play, but he forgot about it as soon as he got busy. Now he feels a little tired, remembering that there is still a holiday house over there, why not go to rest and play for two days.

Didn't Ava say that she will shoot Kilimanjaro Snow in a few days, let her experience the taste of Rocky Mountain snow first.

When Hardy and Ava talked, Ava jumped up excitedly.

Hardy contacted Adams in advance and told him that he would go to the holiday house to rest for two days. Adams readily agreed, put down the phone and hurriedly asked people to prepare.

Clean the vacation home, get new bedding, get the food ready and more.

After Ava took part in the latest 'Super Idol' taping, she flew to New Mexico with Hardy the next day. When their car arrived at the Rocky Mountain Mineral Water Company, they could see the rocky mountains in the distance. It is white snow.

Manager Adams came out to greet,

Mr. Hardy, everything is ready in the holiday house. By the way, do I need to find a housekeeper, chef and waiter for you?

Hardy waved his hand.

No, I just want to stay quietly for two days.

The two didn't stop, changed their clothes and started to hike to the mountain resort. The snow was so thick that it was below the knees. The two stopped from time to time to enjoy the snow scenery. In the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers, they only felt happy physically and mentally.

After climbing for more than two hours, we finally came to the holiday house.

The holiday house is not small, similar to a small villa. The two shook off the snow and pushed open the door. Hardy and Ava lit a fire together. When the firewood was lit in the fireplace, the room quickly warmed up.

The two cook dinner together.

The refrigerator is full of food, and there is no shortage of various seasonings on the shelves. Although Hardy is not an expert in cooking, it is still very simple to make a grilled steak. Ava is also from an ordinary family. A good dinner is ready.

Warm cabin.

Hot dinner.

French red wine.

This is happiness.

After dinner, heavy snow fell outside the window, the two of them nestled under the blanket, their bodies pressed together tightly, without any distracting thoughts in their minds, and abandoned the hustle and bustle of the city.

This ethereal feeling of body and mind is intoxicating.

Ava only felt that her soul was slowly flying up, fluttering.
