Invincible from the sword

Chapter 492 This Can Improve Combat Strength

Five star! ! !

When Pipe Mike received the news, he was totally dumbfounded.

Ears buzzing.

The head of the melon has grown a lot.

To him, this is a big pie.

Up to now, their Beacon Country has never had a five-star general!
The top is four stars.

These five stars only exist in legends.

But now, the Lighthouse Country actually wanted to award him such an awesome title.

It's just so cool.

However, once he goes back like this, he can no longer command the marines.

This made Pipe Mike a little uncomfortable.

He also thought about commanding the troops here to teach the Japanese army a lesson.

Eventually, Nimitz convinced him.

It is said that it is the first time that the Lighthouse Kingdom awarded him such a military rank.

It is much more important than commanding troops.

This will go down in history.

Pipe Mike thought about it.

Indeed it is.

So he took the group of reporters and boarded the battleship to Hawaii.

As for Guadalcanal, from Pipe Mike's point of view, it is no longer necessary for a boss of his level to care about it.

On Guadalcanal Island, Zhang Lei met the legendary Lao Fan.

Commander of the [-]st Marine Division of the Lighthouse Kingdom.

not tall.

a bit dark.

A face of wrinkles.

Like most of the commanders in the Lighthouse Country, he is particularly old.

Zhang Lei did not come empty-handed.

Among the latest supplies of Lao Fan's First Marine Division is Zhang Lei's [-] bottles of Coke.

All packed in wooden boxes.

There are twenty bottles in a box.

This thing called Coke, Nimitz tried it in Hawaii.

It fell immediately.

Just can't stop.

At that time, Nimitzmei almost had an out-of-body experience.

With just one bite, Nimitz was shocked.

This black and simple thing is so delicious!

And when I drink it, I don't feel bloated at all.

If it's a bottle of water, he can't finish it at all.

If you can drink half a bottle in one breath, it is considered a high incense.

But this drink made him feel bored in one sip.

Ton ton ton ton ton.

No need to change your breath.

Now the whole of Hawaii has completely fallen.

If you don't drink ten bottles a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

In Hawaii, in addition to Nimitz's Pacific Fleet Command, there are many residents.

Adding up the entire archipelago, including the soldiers and the people, there are tens of thousands of people.

The daily consumption of this kind of cola is also quite a lot.

Of course, in Zhang Lei's view, this is nothing but drizzle.

If you want to make money with this kind of cola, just relying on such a few people is not enough.

It has to be popular all over the world.

Zhang Lei believes that with the propaganda of soldiers from the Lighthouse Kingdom, this goal can be achieved in at most one year.

In addition to bringing this kind of Coke to Lao Fan's troops, Zhang Lei also shipped 500 million bottles to Stilwell.

Anyway, it is the lighthouse country that pays.

He told Stilwell that every soldier must drink at least ten bottles a day.

This can improve combat effectiveness.

For Stilwell, Zhang Lei's words were orders.

Although Stilwell was quite repelled by these dark liquids, in order to show that he was Zhang Lei's friend, Stilwell closed his eyes and took a sip.

Then the eyes lit up with a swipe.

It's not hard to drink!
On the contrary, it is very sweet.

This is a good thing! !
As a military commander, Stilwell was very sensitive to strategic materials such as sugar.

At critical moments, sugar can save lives.

It can help soldiers recover their physical strength as soon as possible.

No wonder Zhang Lei had to ship so many of these drinks.

Tears welled up in Stilwell's moved eyes.

Although Stilwell also has shares in Zhang Lei's Coca-Cola Company, he doesn't know anything about this drink at all.

Have you seen it?

But now, Stilwell finally understood Zhang Lei's good intentions.

The soldiers under Stilwell also rejected this drink at first.

Falk.

This dark thing is actually a drink?
Why am I so unbelievable?
How is this different from soy sauce? ? ?
The heart is extremely repulsive to Coke.

But after hearing that it was provided by Zhang Lei, they all firmly believed that they should try it.

After all, Zhang Lei is now in Stilwell's Sixth Army, and his prestige is very high.

Talking works better than Stilwell.

no way.

Zhang Lei is really strong.

As long as Zhang Lei's battle plan is followed, the battle will definitely be won.

This is the consensus of the soldiers of the entire Sixth Army.

Especially Johnson.

When he was in the Filipino servant country, he fought with Zhang Lei.

So this experience is deeper.

The reason why Johnson was promoted to the commander of the fifth division so quickly was entirely with Zhang Lei's help.

It was precisely because of fighting with Zhang Lei that Johnson had a better understanding of the Japanese army's combat style.

Stilwell's Sixth Army consumed 100 million bottles of Coke on the first day.

Incredibly fast.

Far exceeded Stilwell's expectations.

In the beginning, those soldiers were more carrying out orders.

But after drinking a bottle, I was completely conquered by this drink.

It's more enjoyable than smoking.

After drinking such a bottle of drink, the fatigue of the day is gone.

Stilwell immediately sent an urgent telegram to Zhang Lei, requesting an increase in the supply of Coke.

Five million bottles is simply not enough.

At least 3000 million bottles are needed.

3000 million bottles are estimated to last half a month.

Zhang Lei's Coke factory is rapidly increasing its production capacity.The first batch of Coke produced has basically been delivered to Stilwell's Sixth Army and Lao Fan.

Little Grumman has faith in the drink.

As a businessman, the keen young Grumman realized that this was a business with a more promising future than arms.

Although the profit of the arms business is not small, the investment is also huge.

And the accompanying risks are also very large.

Just the annual research and development expenses invested is a huge number.

In addition, there must be an order.

Most importantly, the arms business is affected by the overall situation.

If there is no war, the demand for weapons will immediately drop.

But this drink is different.

No matter at any time, the market demand for this kind of beverage is very large.

And sell it casually.

There are no restrictions.

Zhang Lei's drink, in the eyes of young Grumman, is completely profitable.

Even for nothing.

Compared with the huge profits, the initial investment is completely drizzle.

Little Grumman immediately began to increase investment.

Build the newest beverage factory.

The original production line was still too small.

Simply can not meet the needs.

Of course, Zhang Lei doesn't need to worry about these.

For business matters, just leave it to Little Grumman to handle.

For Zhang Lei, this is a side job.

His focus is still on the battlefield.

Of course, Zhang Lei also plans to get some weapon technology back from Grumman when he was a child.

The Beacon Country paid $100 million to Zhang Lei's Coca-Cola company account.

This is basically a year's payment.

After all, 100 million US dollars at this time is a huge sum of money.

At this time, the price of a Hellcat fighter is only about [-] US dollars.

Qian En's research and development is also progressing rapidly.

With the support of huge funds, Chain's team has made a major breakthrough in the stable extraction of penicillin.

According to Zhang Lei's request, Little Grumman began to purchase a large amount of raw materials.

Ready for mass production.

This stable extracted penicillin drug was named penicillin by Chaine.

injection.

It has now entered the clinical trial stage.

The effect is surprisingly good.
