Invincible from the sword

Chapter 455 How to Reward Zhang Lei

The situation in the South Pacific made Wheelchair Luo feel a lot better.

In this way, their lighthouse country can devote more energy to the European battlefield.

It would be best if the island country can be completely defeated before sending troops to Europe.

If not, at least the island country must be disabled.

After all, fighting on two fronts is too strenuous.

Even in the Lighthouse Country, Wheelchair Luo was a little uncertain.

After all, in their lighthouse country, there are really too few commanders who can fight.

In the past few days, he and Lao Qiu have settled on Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the Allied Forces who will open up the second front in Europe.

Taking time to make plans.

But days passed without any progress.

This job is too complicated.

He simply didn't know where to start.

It would be great if someone could give him advice.

Wheelchair Luo told Eisenhower that the person who made the suggestion may not be found in the entire Beacon Country.

The one most likely to help Eisenhower is probably Zhang Lei.

But Zhang Lei is still in the kangaroo country, and he can't get away at all.

With Winton's victory this time, Wheelchair Luo found an opportunity.

Stilwell made it very clear in the telegram.

The plan to attack Winton was all drawn up by Zhang Lei.

So this time, Zhang Lei's contribution came first.

Moreover, it was Zhang Lei's special operations team that rescued Douglas.

No matter from which aspect, Zhang Lei must be rewarded.

Wheelchair Luo attached great importance to Stilwell's suggestion.

But how to reward Zhang Lei gave Wheelchair Luo a headache.

Now Zhang Lei has the rank of colonel in their Lighthouse country.

This is already the highest rank that his wheelchair Luo can give Zhang Lei.

If it is higher, on the one hand, the old man in Shancheng will look very ugly.

On the other hand, there is no such precedent for their lighthouse country.

So forget about rank.

And Wheelchair Luo also felt that Zhang Lei didn't care about these at all.

This fellow Marshall is also unwilling to let Zhang Lei be promoted.

It was almost a slap in the face.

Marshall has always had objections to asking Zhang Lei to help them command the troops in the Lighthouse country.

Wheelchair Luo frowned and thought for a while: "Old Ma, what do you think?
Anyway, Stilwell was right.

They fought such a big win at Winton.If we have nothing to say to Zhang Lei, it will disappoint the entire Sixth Army.

At this time, the Sixth Army must maintain stability. "

Marshall nodded.

As soon as his eyeballs rolled, he came up with a bad idea.

"Lao Lun, we can give Zhang Lei something special.

For example, give him one hundred acres of land.

Or reward him with a factory or something.

Anyway, didn't Zhang Lei say that he was short of money? "

Short of money?

Wheelchair Luo was stunned and shook his head: "Marshall, you don't know Zhang Lei very well.

He is short of money.

But he asked for money, also to buy weapons to deal with the islanders.

You have to know that Zhang Lei is a very patriotic soldier.

From a point of view, I respect him a lot.

I think we can give Zhang Lei a batch of weapons. "

Marshall directly refused: "I object!

Lao Lun, now we are about to send troops to Europe.

There is a huge demand for weapons there.

You know, although our engineering and arsenal has been fully activated, the weapons of our Lighthouse Country are still not enough.

Many of our soldiers are still not equipped with the latest semi-automatic rifles. "

What Marshall said can't be wrong.

The semi-automatic rifles produced by the Lighthouse Country now only need to be provided to the World War I troops of the Lighthouse Country.

For example, the soldiers of the Beacon Country guarding the mainland are unlikely to fight, so the rifles they are equipped with are still the M1913 bolt-action rifles.

But Wheelchair Luo is not stupid.

What Marshall said was nothing more than an excuse.

It's just that at this moment, Wheelchair Luo doesn't want to make too much trouble with Marshall.

If you don't give it, you won't give it.

"Then how do we reward Zhang Lei?"

Wheelchair Luo wants to hear Marshall's advice.

You can't just give a commendation order or a medal, right?

In that case, during the press conference, Luo Luo in his wheelchair would be sprayed to death by the reporters.

Marshall's mind turned for a moment: "Old man, do you think this is okay?

We are in the Lighthouse Country, drawing a piece of land for Zhang Lei.

Anyway, our lighthouse country has a lot of land.

Just give him a piece of it.

That's not a lot of money. "

Just give me a piece of land?

Wheelchair Luo frowned and thought for a while.

"Marshall, you are too picky.

The land of our lighthouse country is worthless at all.

Up to now, there are still many places that no one wants.

You give Zhang Lei a piece of wasteland, which is simply unreasonable. "

For Marshall's suggestion, Wheelchair Luo directly rejected it.

What plane are you Marshall doing?
This is bullying my wheelchair Luo has not read the book?
Zhang Lei helped you win such a battle in the Lighthouse Country, and in the end they gave you a piece of land!

What you Marshall said, my wheelchair Roco can't say it!

And if this is the case, let alone Zhang Lei, Stilwell will probably fall out with his wheelchair Luo.

And not just Stilwell.

Even Nimitz and Nestor would be upset.

Zhang Lei was their guest.

Nimitz has asked for his wheelchair several times.

Zhang Lei was asked to go to the Pacific Fleet to help Nimitz as a staff officer, but his wheelchair Luo refused.

Now if Marshall really does it like this, his wheelchair Luo can't explain it at all.

Marshall quickly said: "Not only give Zhang Lei a piece of land, but also give Zhang Lei all the things on the land.

Like a factory or a farm.

We buy it.

Then send it directly to Zhang Lei, isn't it all right? "

Ok……

Wheelchair Luo thought for a while.

If that's the case, it's still ok.

The factory is still very valuable.

Wheelchair Luo nodded: "Marshall, I agree with your suggestion in principle.

You implement it immediately, and you must get this matter done well before the press conference. "

Also color! !

Marshall saluted the wheelchair Luo, and then left the small white building.

He must implement this matter as soon as possible.

Lest the wheelchair Luo in the back regret it.

Marshall was quite happy to be able to make such a small pit of Zhang Lei.

Although he also told Wheelchair Luo that he could give Zhang Lei a piece of land and a factory on the ground, but he didn't say where it was.

It didn't say what kind of factory it was.

Just find a place to deal with it.

Who told Zhang Lei and Nestor to be on the same side?

If it weren't for Zhang Lei, it would have been impossible for Stilwell to succeed Pipe Mike as the commander of the joint force.

The deadly pipe Mike can now only go to the [-]st Marine Division and the [-]nd Marine Division.

The name is not justified.

Also because of this, Nimitz was offended.

I don't think it's worthwhile.

Still, Pipe Mike's luck wasn't too bad.

The landing of the [-]st Marine Division on Guadalcanal went very smoothly.

Did not encounter decent resistance from the Japanese army.

This made Marshall feel at ease a lot.

Just keep fighting like this, and Pipe Mike can regain the trust of the troops.

In order to get a piece of land for Zhang Lei, Marshall thought for a long time.

In his hand he held a map of Lighthouse Country.

Finally, Marshall set his sights on Georgia, the lighthouse country.

This state in the lighthouse country is very poor.

And the weather is not good.

Most importantly, there is no decent industrial base in the entire state of Georgia.

None of the large corporations or anything.

Marshall is very happy with it.

I just nodded my finger, and it's here.

After Marshall made a decision, he asked his adjutant to execute it.

His adjutant was a very serious fellow.

According to Marshall's request, a suitable land was quickly found.

It's a deserted town.

In this small town, most of them are unemployed workers.

There is only one soda factory in the whole town.

And it's about to close down.

It's just right to buy a piece of land from here, and it doesn't cost a lot of money at all.

As for the soda factory, just buy them together.

A small town in Georgia.

A colonel from the lighthouse country creaked a jeep and stopped at the home of the mayor of the small town.

In his hand was a box of beautiful knives.

The mayor of this small town is a chubby old man.

Are worrying.

In his small town, most young people have gone out to work.

The rest are basically old people.

Not even a job.

I can only go to the soda factory in the small town to help out and earn some pocket money.

This soda factory is the only factory in the town.

It is said to be a factory, but it is actually a family workshop.

The machine for making soda was placed in a warehouse.

The process is very simple, just wash some powder with cold water into a dark soda.

It smells like garbage.

And the appearance of that kind of soda is really horrible.

Very similar in color to soy sauce.

It was a lunatic doctor in their small town who invented this soda.

This kind of thing at the beginning was a medicine for treating patients with stomachaches.

The lunatic doctor didn't know what was in it.

Anyway, it is useless to treat stomach problems.

But the taste is okay.

Later, the doctor simply sold it as soda.

It's a pity that sales are mediocre.

There are only a few people who are willing to drink.

Now the doctor is looking for a buyer and can't sell these devices.

With a bang, the door of the mayor's office, who was in a daze on the chair, was pushed open.

"Oh, my dear Colonel, who are you looking for?"

It has been a long time since outsiders have visited this old man's town.

The colonel's appearance surprised him.

After all, the colonel was Marshall's adjutant, and he was very airy.

In his eyes, except for Marshall, everything is an ant.

In order to show that he was awesome, the colonel directly threw the money box in the old man's face.

"I'm going to buy a thousand acres here, the poorest kind.

at the same time.There will also be a factory on it. "

The colonel's box was full of ten thousand dollars.
