Chapter 72 The Legendary Visit
During Wu Siren's busy life in North America, surprise news also came from China. The Battle of Xuzhou commanded by Li Delin won a great victory of about 20,000 enemies in Taierzhuang.
The Taierzhuang victory was another victory achieved by the Chinese people since the war of resistance in China, following the Great Wall Battle, Pingxingguan Victory, and Jinling Annihilation Battle.
The victory of the Taierzhuang Battle enhanced the confidence of the military and civilians in the country to win the war of resistance, inspire the morale of the anti-Japanese army, and used the fact of victory to severely attack the arrogance of the surrender faction. Li Delin even defeated the arrogant Japanese devils with a weak brigade, which further showed that as long as one united, united in one's heart, fought to the death, and fought hard, the Chinese people would be invincible.
At the same time, the victory of the Taierzhuang Battle also changed the international view on the future of the war between China and the Ultimate, improved China's international status, and added favorable conditions for winning foreign aid.
Although he had already "knowed" about this matter in advance, Wu Siren still couldn't help but see the news of victory in the newspaper. It was difficult to understand the descendants of Yan and Huang's desire for China's prosperity and strength without being in this turbulent and disaster period.
After learning about the Taierzhuang victory, many Chinese and overseas Chinese living in North America took the initiative to raise a lot of money and contacted Wu Yuanliang, hoping to transport these materials to China through his relationship.
"Father, this time I will send the materials donated by the Chinese Business Association to the country, but I hope you will pay more attention to your own safety in the future. Now our family has become a thorn in the eyes of Japanese people and a thorn in the flesh. They will definitely try every means to get rid of us soon."
Wu Siren's words were not aimless. Over the past six months, Japan has sent many intelligence agents to North America, on the one hand, to spy on the US military intelligence, and on the other hand, to eradicate those patriotic Chinese who supported the War of Resistance.
Now a large part of the economic recovery of the US imperial system depends on Japan, so as long as the fundamental interests of the US imperial system are not damaged, the American government is happy to turn a blind eye.
In the past two months, the inner guards have successively arrested and killed more than 40 Japanese assassinations and destructionists, which shows how much the Japanese hated the Wu family.
"You don't have to worry about me. If Yanzhi and Manna are responsible for everything, don't worry! You guys like to fight hard when doing things. You don't know how worried I was during the Jinling Defense War. Fortunately, you are safe and sound. Remember, a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, you are responsible for the fate of many people!"
Wu Yuanliang also knew that his son was very stubborn, but he had to say some things, the purpose was to let Wu Saren take it as a warning.
"Don't worry, my father, I will be more careful. After all, I have two sons and will have a third child soon. I will be responsible for my wife and children."
As a human being for two lives, Wu Siren has always attached great importance to his own safety. Although he occasionally took risks, he had considered the complete retreat in advance.
During this period, the Wu family's frequent actions attracted the attention of the US Imperial Bureau of Investigation. Although Wu Siren had tried his best to hide himself, he was still caught by Edgar Hoover.
I don’t know what the legendary figure thought, but he came to Wu’s Manor to visit without saying a word, and he was sure that Wu Siren was at home.
"Rogues are not scary, they are afraid that they are educated." This sentence was originally used to describe Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Qing Gang, but Wu Siren thought it was more appropriate to use it for Edgar Hoover.
Lan Yanzhi was originally a very intelligent woman, but she had no choice when she met Hoover who didn't play according to common sense. This was mainly because Lan Yanzhi was not in a ruthless mood, which was one of the reasons why Wu Siren was willing to accept Feng Manna.
"I really want to know, why are you so sure I'm back?"
Wu Sairen gave Edgar Hoover a cup of coffee and presented a cigar. This cigar was produced by the tobacco company under the Wu family. It uses top local tobacco leaves from Havana, Cuba. It was carefully handmade and difficult to buy on the market.
Edgar Hoover took a sip of coffee and sucked a cigar, and said comfortably: "Howard Hughes, the playboy, has been silent recently. He told everyone that he would shoot a movie that touched the audience for a hundred years, and it would be starred by him and Catherine Hepburn himself. The three movies that Lei Dinghua had previously sold, "Casablanca", "Broken Souls" and "Song in the Rain", all of which were written with the Chinese name "Not This Person". Although I don't understand Chinese, I specifically checked it. The name of this screenwriter is very similar to your name, so when I heard Howard Hughes boasted that the new script was still provided by the famous screenwriter "Not This Person", I knew you might be back."
"Then I want to thank you for your attention."
Wu Siren is calm on the surface, but in fact, he is about to scold Howard Hughes, who likes to be ostentatious, to death.
"Mr. Wu, in fact, there are not many people in this world that can make me admire you. You are at the forefront, or to be precise, you should be at the top! Take this 'cohiba' cigar for example. Although the taste is good, the more popular people are its top-notch packaging and clever operating methods. Before that, who would have thought that gold foil would be placed on the outside of the cigar, and that every cigar sold would mark the age, the origin of tobacco leaves and the number of items, and the rare things are precious. You send this sentence
"With the ultimate," Edgar Hoover paused and continued to praise: "Except for business, your most powerful thing is in the political and military fields. I don't know why you dared to use the influence of the Wu family six years ago to make the entire Cleveland consortium press all over President Roosevelt; the advanced tactical concepts you proposed almost affected the military direction of Germany, and the most important thing is that in the field of agent training, even I, the director who thinks he is genius, is willing to give up the disadvantage."
"If you don't say it, I really didn't realize that I am so powerful." Wu Siren slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke and said, "So you have been following me for so long, you won't be able to make money because of my means!"
Edgar Hoover smiled, was silent for a moment, and said, "You have never done anything that harms the United States, and I have no interest in your legal means of making money. I came here today just to cooperate with you and help me train a group of top agents."
Wu Siren chuckled and asked, "What can I get? Since it is cooperation, it will not be my one-sided effort!"
Wu Siren is not disgusted with working with Edgar Hoover. The Bureau of Investigation has not yet developed into a behemoth, so Wu Siren is not afraid of this institution.
"Friendship! My most sincere friendship! In the future, all the supplies shipped by the Wu family overseas will not endanger the national security of the United States." Hoover said tentatively.
"The United States is the world of rich people. All you write is a blank check. I can cooperate with you, but I need you to agree to me with two conditions." Wu Siren said seriously.
Hoover spread his hands, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please say that as long as it does not harm the national interests."
"The first of these two conditions is the sharing of intelligence for Japan, and the second is the most important. In the future, as long as we do not violate federal laws, you will not make things difficult for my family and friends for any reason, otherwise we will have to break the verge of death!"
The conditions proposed by Wu Siren are not harsh, but they are by no means easy. He mainly aims to prevent the other party's rogue behavior.
