Chapter 1926 The signal is coming

Smith lamented the decline of Britain, but the door was pushed open.

Smith looked back and saw Wade walking in from outside, looking very panicked.

"Dear Wade, are you afraid that I can't afford the tip, so you come all the way to help me?"

Smith smiled and joked, and his attitude toward Wade was much better than before.

During this period of time, under the leadership of Wade and Jack, a fierce attack was launched against China's export products.

Whether it is cheaper products, through laws and regulations, or the threat of force, China's export industry has been blocked by various means.

In August alone, statistics show that China's export profits fell by 30 percent.

This is just the beginning.

By the end of the year, China's export industry will be completely frozen, forcing them to go back to the days of ten years ago and continue to eat dirt.

This kind of achievement was appreciated by the director. After returning to China, I may not be promoted, but I will definitely receive a generous bonus.

Well, that kind of bonus after taxes.

"Sir, you'd better take a look at this first."

There was no smile on Wade's face, but he quickly handed the paper forward.

"Well, this is it?"

"This is from the Alliance, but the information is about China."

Wade explained quickly, his expression still grim.

Smith took the paper and looked at it carefully.

patter
As his eyes swept over the figure of 1,000 kilograms per mu, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground. The bright red wine in it wet the expensive carpet, and the broken glass fell on his feet.

But he was completely unaware.

"Impossible, impossible, how could this thing be possible!"

Smith stared at Wade with red eyes.

"Sir, we have confirmed that this is a message from the Alliance's top spy."

"And China has already conducted research in this area. We have contacted the bald guy and it is true."

"only."

Wade took a deep breath, "I just didn't expect the yield per mu to be so high."

Smith held the paper in his hand, his eyes bloodshot.

The body that was once full of strength seemed to be hollowed out, like the aftereffects of exercise, decadent and powerless.

"Sir, should we take action?"

Wade asked anxiously. Smith sat on the chair and murmured, "Take action, yes, take action, take action."

"This kind of thing, we must never watch them grow, otherwise, it will become another giant."

Smith talked to himself, as if lost in some memory.

Ever since the emergence of high-yield corn in China disrupted the plans of his director, he began to care about everything in China.

Especially after the other party invented the mushroom bomb, the national self-esteem was awakened step by step. Under the new leader, this ancient empire was getting rid of the shackles on its body and moving forward step by step, which made him feel tremendous pressure.

Now, if we get rid of the constraints of food and more people are invested in industrial construction, the abundant human resources will become a terrifying force for development.

It is simply impossible to restrain the other party's profound Chinese heritage with so-called freedom and democracy.

Wade looked at Smith talking nonsense there, his brows furrowed.

"Sir, shall I arrange the staff?"

"At least we have to grab the research materials!"

Wade felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he spoke up.

But before he could leave, Smith's voice came over, "Come back!"

Wade stopped and looked back, and saw Smith's forehead was covered with sweat.

It's just that pair of eyes, so glaring that it's frightening.

He knew that he had acted on his own again.

"Do you know why the Alliance gave us the news?"

"why?"

"Because they don't want to take action, and they dare not take action."

"Then why tell us?"

As soon as Wade finished asking, he shook his head.

He was also confused by his concern over such a childish question.

"You mean, he wants to use our knife to kill someone?"

"Not stupid yet."

After Smith finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the bed barefoot, rubbed his feet on the bed, and then put on his shoes.

"We can't just do this directly."

"why?"

Wade was puzzled again. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that China would be able to get out of its current predicament with this technology. As a hostile force, how could they not suppress it?

And this is also in line with their interests.

China has stood up, and no matter what, it will strengthen the power of the alliance.

By then, the alliance will have made up for its shortcomings in light industry and will be able to invest its strength in other industries.

Especially in the field of space, the opponent has shown its strong side, which is a huge threat to the United States.

When Smith heard Wade's words, he sneered, "Why?"

"Why would the League tell you?"

"Yeah, why?"

Wade felt confused. Why did they turn to the previous topic again?
Smith walked up to Wade and patted him on the shoulder, "Because they know that China is not on the same page with them."

"And if we take action, it will only push China to their side."

"It's that simple."

Wade suddenly realized, but he was still unwilling to accept it. "What if we succeed?"

"Haha, regardless of success or failure, based on my understanding of the Chinese people's ability to conceal their shortcomings, when they announce something, not only has it been accomplished, but the next step has even begun."

"Do you think there is any meaning in stealing a piece of information and killing a person?"

Wade shook his head. They were not fools and would never do such a thankless job.

"Then why do we let the bald guys go?" Smith picked up the bottle again and poured the red wine into the glass, "Because we need them."

"Only in this way can you become our loyal 'partner', just like in our daily life."

Wade suddenly realized.

At the same time, I felt sad again that I still didn’t understand politics.

"Go ahead and tell Baldy that this matter is very important."

"Besides, that person is too threatening."

"understand!"

Wade immediately went out and walked outside.

After the door was closed, Smith looked at the night view outside the window again. The wine glass in his hand was shaking regularly. The red wine swayed with it, leaving drops of wine tears and emitting a unique wine aroma.

With the wine glass under his hooked nose, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Smith's face.

"Could this be a trap?"

"But so what!"

Shanghai.

Wang Guofu had a towel wrapped around his face, covering his mouth and nose. The scorching sun shone on his body, and his strong muscles were stained with coal dust, making his sturdy figure look even more solid.

Even though he is over 40 years old, the strong physique he has developed through years of work is unmatched even by the young newcomers.

If it weren't for his background, he would have been promoted long ago based on his work experience.

But even so, he still treats this job diligently and hardworkingly.

Of course, because of my background, I am still single.

"Lao Wang, take a break and have a cigarette."

The worker next to him looked at the sun above his head and shouted to Wang Guofu who was busy working.

"It's almost done. Just finish loading this car."

Wang Guofu stared with his eyes wide open and said with a smile, and the workers around him didn't say much when they saw this.

This is always the case. In order to complete the work tasks, this guy is very determined, which is why his fellow workers like to work with him.

Who doesn’t like to have a capable comrade in the team who is willing to work harder?
Besides, no matter how much this comrade does, it will not affect their status.

Who wouldn't like someone who can do less work and pose no threat to oneself?
Several people gathered together, the team leader took out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, and then they chatted.

On the other side, Wang Guofu waved a shovel and put pieces of broken coal onto the car. After the car was loaded, he put down the shovel and came to the side.

"Brother Wang, drink some water."

A young man came forward attentively and handed over a military green water bottle. Wang Guofu turned the towel around his mouth, wiped his mouth with a clean part, then smiled and thanked.

"Brother Wang, the team leader said he wants to go for a drink after work, you can't not go."

A slightly older young man on the other side also said this, and then whispered softly in his ear, "The team leader is going to be promoted!"

Wang Guofu looked at his team leader.

The team leader also looked over and then said with a smile, "We haven't even started yet, don't talk nonsense."

The young man didn't care. "The captain has been transferred, so the vacant position will naturally be filled by the people below. Our team is the most capable. If you don't take over as team leader, who will be convinced?"

The team leader still shook his head and waved his hands after hearing this, but the smile on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.

He came up to Wang Guofu, handed him the cigarette, and then said seriously, "Brother Wang, let's get together tonight. There's plenty of drinks."

Wang Guofu took the cigarette with both hands, then nodded seriously, "Team Leader Liu, congratulations, you have been promoted this time, and your future is just around the corner."

Team leader Liu put his arm around Wang Guofu's shoulders, not caring about the sweat odor on his body. "Brother Wang, let's not be polite. I came here thanks to your care."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you when I get to the top this time. I will also give you the position of team leader."

Wang Guofu was excited when he heard this, but he still held it back, which touched Team Leader Liu who was standing next to him.

Such a good comrade has been working in this coal yard for more than ten years just because of his background, doing the heaviest work, getting the lowest pay, and not even getting promoted.

Anyone who sees this will feel touched.

"Thanks!"

Wang Guofu moved his lips and finally uttered a word.

It was as if all the grievances and sorrows of many years suddenly had an outlet, but he dared not show it. He could only lower his head and silently reach out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

When Team Leader Liu saw this, he couldn't help sighing.

"Everything will be fine in the future. Once I become a team leader, I will be able to continue to improve. I can marry a wife and have children in the future, and I will be able to live up to my ancestors."

Wang Guofu nodded, "Thank you."

"Don't be polite to me, drink a few more glasses tonight!"

"Okay~~"

Chichi~~~
Just as the two were talking, the big loudspeaker tied to the wooden pole next to them suddenly rang, and then bursts of euphemistic voices came from it.

Everyone was smoking, and when they heard the sound they immediately looked up and perked up.

"Hey, today you're five minutes earlier than usual."

Someone looked at the time and asked curiously.

"Isn't it better to have breakfast? I don't know what song to sing this time. Yesterday they sang Dancer's Tears. I don't know what to sing today."

“Whatever you sing sounds good!”

"You, haha, are useless."

"I'm happy~"

As a few people were talking, they suddenly heard a deep voice coming from the loudspeaker. Everyone was stunned and then started cursing.

Because this time slot is always the slot of female announcer Liu Jiao, who has never been absent from the show, and everyone finds it pleasing to the ear whether she is singing or broadcasting.

But now it has become a male anchor, which is immediately disappointing.

When Team Leader Liu heard this voice, he was also very disappointed. He then looked at Wang Guofu standing beside him and wanted to persuade him a few more times, but he found that Wang Guofu's face was a little distorted.

The next second, Wang Guofu suddenly squatted down, holding his stomach.

"Brother Wang, what's going on?"

"My stomach hurts!"

"I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, he held his stomach and ran out with his head lowered.

And the moment he turned around, Wang Guofu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The signal is coming.
