1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

More than ten days had passed since Lu Chen returned from Douglas Manor. Lu Chen finally received the document bag sent by the US Army at the factory.

Lu Chen was very happy to get the document. As soon as he returned to his office with the file bag, he couldn't wait to open the document.

Lu Chen glanced at the file bag, which contained five officer certificates. Lu Chen was stunned.

"How come there are five certificates? I guess I am dazzled."

Lu Chen checked carefully and confirmed that he was not mistaken. There were indeed five books.

"Aren't there only four people joining the US military? How come there are five certificates?"

Lu Chen said to himself. Then he took out all the documents. He had to see if the people from the US Army had sent the wrong documents. They also sent other people's documents to him.

Lu Chen flipped through the documents one by one.

Zhang Hui, second lieutenant, Philippine Legion, Special Company, 1st Platoon Leader.

Qi Jiang, second lieutenant, 2nd platoon leader.

Liu Qiang, second lieutenant, 3rd platoon leader.

Zhao Hua, second lieutenant, 4th platoon leader.

Lu Chen looked at four IDs in a row, all of which belonged to his people. He opened the fifth ID with some curiosity.

It was clearly written on it.

Lu Chen, lieutenant, commander of the special forces company.

Lu Chen looked at the ID in confusion. What the hell was going on? Why did I have an ID? Did the Americans make a mistake? I didn't say I was going to join the army.

Lu Chen took the ID and quickly called Green to confirm.

"Hello, I'm Green. May I ask..."

Before Green could finish his words, Lu Chen immediately said:

"Mr. Green, you must have made a mistake. Why did you put me in the army?"

Green was a little surprised and said, "No way, those people in the military should not make mistakes, are you mistaken?"

Lu Chen was speechless. He had all the documents with him. How could he have made a mistake? Lu Chen said:

"Mr. Green, I have the certificate that proves I am an officer in the U.S. Army in my hand. It also gives me the rank of lieutenant. How could I be wrong?"

Green was stunned and said in disbelief:

"What's going on with you? Why were you promoted directly to lieutenant? I said in the letter that the person who gave you the rank of second lieutenant."

Lu Chen was angry. Is military rank the focus now? The focus now is why he also joined the US military, Lu Chen said angrily.

"How should I know what's going on? I'm a legitimate businessman, but you guys somehow got me into the army. I'm asking you what's going on. The salary of the lieutenant you assigned to me is only a small amount. I guess my annual salary is less than what I make in a day. Stop talking nonsense and find a way to get me off the army list."

Green didn't know what was going on, so he quickly replied:

"Don't worry, I'll go check what's going on. Once I find out, I'll see how to deal with this matter."

After saying that, Green hung up the phone.

Lu Chen's good mood was ruined by this officer's certificate. He asked people to call Zhang Hui and others, and then threw their certificates into their hands.

Lu Chen said unhappily:

"Here are your certificates. You will be second lieutenants in the United States Army."

Zhang Hui took the certificate and took a look at it. He saw that it was all written in foreign characters. He didn't recognize it at all. After hearing what Lu Chen said, he said happily:

"Boss, am I an official now?"

Lu Chen glanced at Zhang Hui. He didn't expect that a second lieutenant platoon leader would make Zhang Hui so happy. He said impatiently:

"Yes, you guys are now second lieutenants, not just privates like before."

Zhang Hui and his friends were even happier after hearing Lu Chen's words. Zhang Hui said excitedly.

"I am finally an officer now. I can also falsify the number of people and collect the salary without doing anything."

Lu Chen was stunned by Zhang Hui's words. Could it be that this was the reason why this man became an official? He asked in disbelief:

"Zhang Hui, you are an official just to collect a salary without doing anything?"

Zhang Hui said as a matter of course:

"Yes, it's about getting promoted and making money. If you want to make money in the army, what other ways are there besides taking a salary for nothing?"

Lu Chen quickly warned:

"Zhang Hui, let me tell you, this is America. The salaries here are paid by the government, not by military officers. Don't mess around here."

When Zhang Hui heard Lu Chen say this, he immediately felt that the officer certificate in his hand was not so attractive. He curled his lips and said:

"Is that so? Then what's the point of me being an official? I might as well be a soldier."

Lu Chen said speechlessly: "What kind of thinking is this? Isn't it said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier? Don't you want to lead your own troops?"

Zhang Hui replied: "What's good about leading soldiers? It's hard and tiring, and you have to take responsibility. It's better to be a private. You don't have to worry about anything, just do your job well."

Lu Chen looked at the others and asked, "What about you guys? What do you think?"

Liu Qiang and his friends' answers were basically the same as Zhang Hui's. The idea of ​​becoming an official and getting rich was ingrained in their bones.

After understanding the thoughts of the latter few people, Lu Chen was so angry that his nose was crooked. Damn, these people's ideological awareness is just that. How can I count on them?

Lu Chen angrily drove these unmotivated guys out of the office, and then dealt with the factory affairs in a depressed mood.

It wasn't until the sun rose overhead that Green called.

After Lu Chen found out that it was Green who called, he said unhappily:

"Mr. Green, you finally called me back. How did you find out about my situation? Can you cancel my military status for me now?"

Green said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Brother Lu Chen, it may be difficult to cancel your military status."

"It's a little difficult, what do you mean?"

Lu Chen was anxious and said quickly: "There is no war in the United States right now, and the economy is not optimistic. Removing a soldier's quota is something the military would like to see."

Green explained:

"Lu Chen, your military status cannot be removed. Let me tell you the truth. Your name was put there by the old man. Without his order, no one would dare to kick you out of the army."

Hearing that he couldn't get rid of his military status, Lu Chen became a little anxious. He said:

"Mr. Green, you can't do this. I have a lot of things to take care of in the factory. How can I have the time to join the army? I tell you, even if you don't cancel my military registration, I will not report to the military headquarters."

Green said patiently:

"Brother Lu Chen, how could I not know about your situation? I have already told this old man about your situation.

The old man finally relented. He said that it was impossible to revoke your military status, but your special forces company could be considered a non-staff unit. You don't have to stay in the Philippines all the time. You only need to go to the Philippines for one month every year. Then you can hand over the affairs of the company to your subordinates. "

Lu Chen was so angry that his teeth itched. What was going on? Wasn't he being tricked by Green? Damn it, he became a lieutenant in the US Army for no reason. He kicked the stool next to him angrily, thinking that he couldn't just let Green, this old guy, trick him like this, and he had to get some benefits from him.

Lu Chen thought about it. Didn't he order several weapons production lines from the Jew Philip? When the production lines arrived, he could produce weapons. But he didn't have a license to produce weapons. Thinking of this, Lu Chen had an idea.

"Mr. Green, you guys have gone too far in this matter. You didn't even ask for my opinion and forced me into the US military. You need to give me an explanation."

As soon as Green heard this, he knew that Lu Chen was asking for compensation from him. He said helplessly:

"Tell me how I can compensate you."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Green is still straightforward. Mr. Green, I will have several gun and bullet production lines coming to the United States soon. I want to build these production lines and produce weapons."

Green said quickly: "That won't work. Several American arms giants have firmly controlled American arms production. They won't allow the United States to have new arms companies."

Lu Chen said: "What if it's not in the United States?"

Green was stunned and asked, "Where do you want to build it?"

"The Philippines. I want to build a military factory in the Philippines."

Green thought for a while and then said, "If it's in the Philippines, I can help you get a license. But even if you build a military factory in the Philippines, you can't sell arms to the United States."

Lu Chen said: "You don't have to worry about this. I don't plan to sell the arms I produce to the United States."

"In that case, I'm relieved. Just tell me when you start building a factory in the Philippines. By the way, you are now a member of the Philippine Legion. You have to go to the Philippines with me soon."

Lu Chen said helplessly: "Okay, I'll get ready now."
