1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Seeing that their parents agreed to go to the United States, the two brothers were relieved. In order to prevent them from regretting again, Lu Jiaming decided to take them to handle the procedures for going abroad first.

Lu Jiaming used his connections in Guangzhou and completed all the formalities in just one morning.

With the completed documents in his hand, Lu Jiaming was completely relieved this time.

Seeing Lu Jiaming coming back, Lu Chen said to Lu Jiaming:

"Have all the procedures been completed?"

Lu Jiaming raised the document in his hand and said:

"It's done. My parents' documents are all here."

"Now that it's done, take me with you to send a telegram. I need to ask the office in the Magic City how many weapons and ammunition they have."

Lu Jiaming nodded and took Lu Chen to the radio room of his unit.

When Lu Chen saw Lu Jiaming bringing him to the army, he asked in confusion:

"Brother, aren't we going to send a telegram? Why did you bring me to the army?"

Lu Jiaming looked at his silly brother and explained:

"Xiao Chen, the telegram you are sending must be about munitions. How dare you use those civilian telegrams to send this? Aren't you afraid that these things will be leaked out and cause trouble for you if others know about it?"

Lu Chen said:

"So your army has a high-powered radio that can send messages over long distances?"

Lu Jiaming nodded and said:

"I must have it here, otherwise how can I contact my superiors?"

When they arrived at the army, Lu Jiaming took Lu Chen to the radio room and said to Lu Chen:

"Xiao Chen, I can send a telegram directly to He Xianming. Tell the operator the contents of the telegram and he will send it out. Then ask Lao He to help you deliver the telegram to your office in Modu."

Lu Chen nodded, then wrote down what he wanted to send on a piece of paper and handed it to the operator.

After Lu Jiaming saw that the telegram had been sent, he said to Lu Chen:

"Xiao Chen, the telegram has been sent out, and it will take a long time for the other party to call back. It's boring to wait here, how about I take you on a tour?"

Lu Chen was a little excited to visit the army. He didn't expect that he could witness the army of the Republic of China with his own eyes. He said to Lu Jiaming:

"Okay, it's okay anyway, I can just take a look at your army."

"Of course, this is the army led by your brother, how can it be bad?"

Lu Jiaming said as he led Lu Chen to the training ground.

Arriving at the training ground, Lu Chen saw the new recruits training in formation. Lu Chen lost interest after taking one look. The way they marched was not even as good as when he was in military training at school.

And what's up with the way you march? Forget it, you are still imitating others and you don't have the authentic Chinese style of marching yet.

Lu Chen watched other trainings and thought this bayonet training was pretty good. It was a real fight, and they didn't hold back at all.

At this time, he saw a soldier holding a gun with a large piece of cloth wrapped around the tip, knocking the sparring soldier to the ground.

Lu Jiaming asked:

"Xiaochen, what do you think of my soldiers? Not bad, right?"

How can Lu Chen comment on this? How can you evaluate a group of troops that can't even march in formation? I won't talk about the fact that your feet are kicking like waves in the formation. The key point is that you don't march in a neat line. The formation is crooked.

But this was his elder brother's army after all, so Lu Chen couldn't belittle it too much. He could only say against his will:

"Not bad, not bad. One can tell at a glance that this unit is very powerful."

Lu Jiaming was very happy to hear Lu Chen praising his troops.

So Lu Jiaming took Lu Chen to see the barracks again.

Lu Chen walked into the barracks and saw that it was indeed a den for singles. The housekeeping was unbearable. The quilt was left on the bed. There were cigarette butts all over the floor.

Lu Chen looked at it and shook his head. This housekeeping was too different from the uncles in later generations.

After visiting the barracks, Lu Jiaming took Lu Chen to see several other places, giving Lu Chen a general impression of the current army.

Lu Chen made a summary of his eldest brother's troops in his mind. They were very different from those of his uncles in later generations.

Lu Jiaming looked at Lu Chen and said:

"After a tour, Xiaochen, what do you think of my soldiers?"

Lu Chen was a little confused, not knowing whether he should tell the truth. He was a little afraid of hurting his brother's self-esteem. He could only say against his will:

"The troops are very good. I have never seen such a powerful army in my country. But I think your troops still have many shortcomings. For example, the firepower of your troops. I don't see any large-caliber artillery here. Do you want me to get you some large-caliber artillery?"

When Lu Jiaming heard about the large-caliber artillery, he couldn't help but be moved, but he thought about it carefully. China cannot produce large-caliber artillery shells, and it is also a problem to transport that thing, which is not suitable for him. He shook his head and said:

"Forget it. Large-caliber artillery is not suitable for me here."

Seeing that his elder brother was not interested in the cannon, Lu Chen started to promote the tricycles he produced. He said to Lu Jiaming: "Brother, I see that your troops have very few vehicles. How do you travel during the war?"

The Lu family understood Lu Chen and said:

"Cars are so expensive and they need oil. Who can afford them? The cars in our brigade are used to transport supplies. Soldiers can just run if they want to travel."

Lu Chen said, "Brother, you are wrong. Soldiers need to have sufficient physical strength to fight. You let them march on foot, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the army. I have a kind of car here. It is cheap, uses less fuel, and can carry both cargo and people. Do you want it?"

"When did you buy a car again? Where was your car made?"

Lu Jiaming looked at Lu Chen in confusion and asked.

"I built it myself. Let me tell you, this car is cheap and durable, and the price is about the same as the three-wheeled motorcycle you are using now. But it can carry several times more people than the three-wheeled motorcycle, but it may be a little slower than the three-wheeled motorcycle. Are you interested?"

Lu Jiaming looked at Lu Chen in disbelief and asked:

"Didn't you say you opened a textile factory? How did you make cars?"

Lu Chen curled his lips and said:

"Brother, I didn't say I only have one factory. It's not okay for me to open another factory myself."

Lu Jiaming looked at Lu Chen with some suspicion.

"Xiao Chen, where did you get so much money? You can't earn enough from selling arms to open two factories. And one of them is a car factory."

Lu Chen said quickly:

"Brother, I didn't say I run a car factory. I run a motorcycle factory."

Lu Jiaming said unhappily:

"How dare you sell me a motorcycle? You even said that it can carry several times more people than a three-wheeled motorcycle. You really have the nerve to say that."

Lu Chen explained:

"Brother, the motorcycles produced by my factory are different from others. The motorcycles I produce can carry cargo. There is no problem carrying more than ten people."

Lu Jiaming thought for a moment and said:

"Bring me a few and I'll have someone try them out myself. If they work, I'll tell my superiors about it for you."

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll send you a batch next time. If you find them useful, tell your superior and ask him to buy from me. If the quantity is large, I'll give you a 9% discount."

While Lu Chen was selling the tricycle, a soldier ran back and said to Lu Jiaming:

"Report to the commander, the other party called back."

Lu Chen quickly said: "Give me the telegram, I'll see what they say."

The soldier first asked Lu Jiaming for his opinion, and only after getting permission did he hand the telegram to Lu Chen.

After Lu Chen finished reading the telegram, he said to Lu Jiaming:

"Brother, I'm a little sorry, we don't have any weapons in the Magic City, but we still have a lot of ammunition left. Do you want some? If you want, I'll give them all to you."

Lu Jiaming said without hesitation:

"Yes, we all want them. I will report to my superiors immediately."

Lu Chen quickly grabbed Lu Jiaming. He had no intention of selling this batch of ammunition to Lu Jiaming's superiors.

This batch of ammunition was intended for Lu Jiaming, so that he could have more ammunition on the battlefield, so that he would have more chances to defeat the enemy and survive on the battlefield. If it was sold to Lu Jiaming's superior, how much of this ammunition would reach his eldest brother, Lu Chen didn't know.

So Lu Chen quickly said:

"Brother, I am going to give this batch of ammunition to you so that you will have enough ammunition to defeat the enemy on the battlefield. It is not for your superiors."

Lu Jiaming was stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Chen was going to give the ammunition to him. He thought about it and felt that Lu Chen's behavior was not good. The ammunition didn't belong to Lu Chen in the first place. If Lu Chen gave it to someone else, the arms dealer behind Lu Chen would definitely cause trouble for Lu Chen if he knew about it. He waved his hand and said:

"Xiao Chen, I can't take your ammunition. Our ammunition is distributed uniformly by the logistics department. I suddenly have an extra batch of ammunition, and I can't explain it."

Lu Chen hadn't thought about this question before. He thought for a while and said:

"Then I'll give half to your superior, and then I'll give you half. Your superior will definitely not bother you. Brother, you can't refuse. I'm doing this so that you can win the battle and survive on the battlefield."

Lu Jiaming wanted to refuse at first, but after Lu Chen finally brought the two elders out, Lu Jiaming accepted the ammunition.

Then Lu Chen and the Lu family agreed on the location and time to pick up the goods.

Lu Chen then contacted William by telegram, asking him to contact someone to transport the ammunition to the place agreed upon by him and Lu Jiaming.

After arranging these, Lu Jiaming sent Lu Chen and the two elders on a ship to the United States.
