Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 231 Preparation before leaving
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massachusetts.

After receiving the telegram from home from the Behemoth Group, Wang Yi turned into a golden light and ran to Massachusetts to find Lu Guangda to relax.

There was no need to change his appearance this time. After sending a message through the Yin-Yang paper in the hands of the two people, he met Lu Guangda at the branch of the Continental Hotel that had been opened in Massachusetts.

Today, Lu Guangda has achieved some success. He has completed his master's degree and is studying for a doctorate. With the help of Wang Yi's previous advice, he also made a lot of money for himself and his family during the Great Depression, but he still keeps a low profile.

At school, look at your compatriots who are studying in the United States like you, and decide which ones are worth interacting with and having hearts to talk with.

Now that such a big thing has happened outside the Great Wall, Wang Yi can receive the news, and Lu Guangda can naturally receive it as well. Even because they are one of the four famous families, the Lu family can get more detailed information from the Gao family outside the Great Wall.

This process was also demonstrated by Lu Guangda and handed over to Wang Yi.

And this process, in the final analysis, is nothing more than bringing hidden ambitions to the surface. Ever since the Japanese Kwantung Army wanted to take advantage of the incident in Huanggutun to stir up trouble, but Wang Yi and his men cooperated with the old marshal to set up a trick and slapped them in the face.

They simply stop pretending and start increasing their troops right in front of you, telling you clearly that they want to first take over the three provinces outside the Great Wall and then take over the whole of China.

The muzzle of the other party's gun was almost pointing at his forehead. The young marshal was not a fool, especially since he had been guided and cultivated by his father before his death. He understood that if he lost to his own people, the Zhang family would have a decent ending. If they did nothing and lost their land, the Zhang family would be cut off from him.

The Fengtian Army was immediately pulled back outside the Great Wall, leaving only a small number of direct troops inside the Great Wall just in case.

At the same time, he kept writing letters to his sworn brother, asking him to stop doing this nonsense of "pacifying the country before fighting foreign enemies", because his family's courtyard was about to be occupied by others!
Unfortunately, he still overestimated the degree of human-like simulation of his sworn elder brother. No matter what he said, he refused to meet with the young marshal on the grounds that he did not receive and did not listen. This also made the young marshal see clearly what kind of human being his good elder brother was.

After that, he dealt with the provocations and harassment of the Kwantung Army while strengthening the fortifications and was determined not to fire the first shot because he was clear about the gap between the two.

The Kwantung Army saw that all their provocations had failed to provoke a war and that great credit was about to slip away from them, so they simply gave up pretending and went straight to the battle!
Right from the start, the two sides were in a stalemate.

But Wang Yi understood that although the Fengtian Army had a good system, it was still based on the old-style army and warlords. It was still using three provinces to fight against an industrial country. This stalemate was only temporary, and the fall of the area outside the Great Wall was inevitable. He just wanted to hold out for a while longer so that even if it fell later, there would be a way out for everyone to support it, rather than it becoming a complete private reserve of the invaders.

"Wang Yi, do you think the Fengtian troops outside the Great Wall can hold on?"

"Brother Lu, you have also seen the strength of an industrial country. These beasts clearly came prepared. It's also written above that with so many additional troops, they still took only two hours to capture the city even though the Fengtian Army's Beidaying was on high alert. It just took them a while to get to Fengtian. You should have known that it was only a matter of time before they could not hold on."

"That's true, but no matter how industrialized they are, it can't change the fact that they are a small country. They want to take over such a large land of ours with a place that's not much bigger than our province?"

"That's true. They can't afford it, but the premise is that we have to work together instead of acting independently. It's been three days since I got this telegram. In these three days, Brother Lu, have you heard any news about anyone from our side going outside the Great Wall to help out?"

Lu Guangda remained silent. He actually understood this truth in his heart, but people always have a little bit of luck in their minds, trying to see if they can get a different answer from others.

"when are you going back?"

"Brother Lu, I thought you were going to ask when you would go back."

"What can I do if I go back? I have no way to serve my country with my knowledge. I am not afraid of death, but you told me that my life cannot be killed so easily."

"Brother Lu, I feel relieved that you think this way. Our family is now like a ball of iron full of various impurities, and the suffering it is suffering now is a ball of fire. Water and fire are ruthless, but without this ball of poisonous fire, this ball of pig iron cannot be refined into fine steel. Brother Lu, you still have what you have learned, and what those overseas students who are willing to serve the country have learned, which is to cast this ball of fine steel into a sharp sword!

When these foreign powers use their swords to threaten us in the future and ask us, "Do you want to test whether my sword is sharp?", we can also draw out this sword and point it at their heads and say, "My sword is not bad either!"

Being comforted by Wang Yi, Lu Guangda smiled freely, returned to his seat and looked at Wang Yi.

"You're being picky, but I'm still very curious. Ever since we met, you've always been sure that our family would become better and stronger, and you believed that I would be able to achieve academic success and serve the country. But you've been pessimistic about the authorities from the beginning, whether it's the Beiyang authorities or the current Nationalist authorities in Nanjing. You don't like them, and you even hate them. Are you from that side? When did it start?"

Lu Guangda wrote three words on the table with his fingers dipped in red wine, then wiped them off with a handkerchief and stared at Wang Yi.

"Brother Lu, I would like to, but it's not easy for a guy of my status to go in, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control some things and end up making things worse.

But I can say that I am from that side, and I sincerely believe that they can accomplish something great to change the world and the human world, so that our people will no longer suffer as they do now. On this point, I will not lie to you, Brother Lu."

“I believe this. No wonder you only contacted me and not the Lu family behind me. I am me and the Lu family is the Lu family. Although the Lu family is passed down by family tradition, its position is there.

Wang Yi, let me ask you a question. If they really come to power one day, with their ideology, how will our Lu family, Tianshi Mansion, Sanyi Sect, the entire strange world, and all the families and sects deal with it?"

Wang Yi was not surprised that Lu Guangda asked this question. The Lu family was located in the Jiangnan area. Whether the Lu family wanted to or not, they were naturally close to Kong Yige. This was the limitation of the times. Moreover, Kong Yige's rise to power was inseparable from the support of the wealthy families in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

As a member of the Lu family, Lu Guangda didn't want to contact anyone and was devoted to his studies.

These things will appear in front of Lu Guangda in various ways, forcing him to understand them, so it is good enough that he can wait until now to ask Wang Yi this question.

Wang Yi already had an answer to this question.

"How should we deal with it? Some things need to be changed. If they should be swept into the trash, they should be swept into the trash. Don't keep them. Some things will not change. They are the foundation of life. Some rules should be established. For example, the affairs between strangers are strangers. If innocent people are implicated, the emperor will be guilty of the same crime as the common people."

"Can it accommodate the Tang Sect?"

“It can accommodate.”

"Can it accommodate all of nature?"

"That depends on whether they are obedient or not. If they are not obedient, then there is no need for Quan Xing, which has existed for nearly two thousand years, to exist anymore. It is just like the emperor. It can be gone."

"Will Quan Xing listen?"

"They can choose not to listen, but don't underestimate our determination to change the world and the human world. Quanxing? Giving them respect is Quanxing, but not giving them respect is nothing more than a group of lawless people who do things according to their own will. It's just a matter of sweeping them a few more times."

"Can you finish the killing?"

"You know you can't kill them all?"

"Nonsense."

"According to what you said, Brother Lu, I and all of us are crazy, because before this, no one would believe that we can change the world. After this, everyone will know that there is such a way to go. Brother Lu, you are born into a family of extraordinary people, and you are an extraordinary person. I am also an extraordinary person. Everything I do now is to leave room for us extraordinary people in the future."

"Really? I don't believe it."

“How can I believe it?”

"How about you let me join your side? Let me be a witness and participant."

Yi Wang:?
No, buddy, you have a long map of Yan State, and you want to make progress? I haven't even entered the door yet, and you want to step on me? Hiss, you are so polite, but I didn't expect you to have so many calculations!

"Haha, I won't tease you anymore. It's rare to see this expression on your face. You haven't answered the question I asked you before. When are you going back?"

"There's no rush. Warfare is not my strong point. Even if we want to help, we don't know where to start. I'll go back next year, around June, after I finish the things I have on hand. I'll also make some preparations in advance, so that I won't be unable to take you back when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll take you there then?"

"We'll talk about it later. Come on, you should go back and rest early."

"Ah."

Lu Guangda was in the private room, watching through the glass as Wang's body turned into a tiny dot of light that went away. He then sipped the cold tea in his cup.

He murmured, "Forge a sword for the country? Don't worry, I will definitely forge a sharp sword, and let those powers have a good try out the sharpness of our sword! But there's something wrong with you, you are so foresighted, and you have come up with so many tricks from scratch, and you haven't become one of them? The threshold over there is so high?! It's better to have a higher threshold, otherwise it will be like these guys now, accepting all kinds of monsters and demons. I just don't know if I can reach the threshold for them to enter by then..."

If Wang Yi could hear what Lu Guangda was saying at this moment, he would definitely curse.

Does he not want to enter? He just can't find a suitable way to enter!

I saw him three times in total. Once was to witness the beginning of a great change in the world. Once was when I met a tough guy named Li Qiang in Shanghai, but we only met briefly. Another time was to see Mr. Li off.

Then they came here. As for joining, Wang Yi had sent several people to the master, including Zhang Yi and Ma Feng, two martial arts masters, and Zhang Zhiwei, the most important one. Based on Wang Yi's understanding of Zhang Zhiwei, as long as he was really curious about the spoilers of his time in Fengtian Marshal's Mansion, he went to the holy land and met the master.

It goes without saying that he must be one of them. This guy is very smart, otherwise, would he be able to become the leader of the Taoist Association and the 65th successor of the Heavenly Master of Han Dynasty in the future?

Even if he wants to take the job, he still has to see whether his superiors agree.

After all these years of hard work, I finally became an agent?

Later, Wang Yi was often laughed at by Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Guangda because of this incident.
-
That night, at the Continental Hotel which was undergoing expansion and elevation construction, Winston and James, managers of the Continental Hotel and Continental Group, also appeared in the room of the god John Wick.

“How are the group and the hotel’s properties doing now?”

"Mr. Wick, our group and hotel are thriving!"

At this time, the god John Wick was in charge of Wang Yi. When Wang Yi heard Winston and James say the word "thriving" in unison, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

No, buddy, you two also traveled through time to mess with me, right? I have the National Destiny Loan Shark buff, and you even made up this word for me in Chinese? Are you worried that I will be violently collected by the American National Destiny? !

"Where did you two learn this Chinese idiom?"

"James and I went to Shanghai, the Republic of China, to investigate the market. That's how officials there evaluated their government, and we learned from them."

"You've learned it very well. Don't talk about it next time. Both of you should pick out a few key points to talk about."

After a dry cough, Winston and James explained in turn how the hotel and the group had grown in the past year with the help of Wang Yi's American fortune buff.

First of all, Wang Yi is most concerned about shipyards, docks, aircraft and military industries.

There are existing ocean-going freighters, and a new batch is also being built. The same is true for aircraft, but the transition from propeller planes to later jet planes cannot be accelerated. This is a technical problem, and the country's destiny cannot drive this process forward.

If this trend continues, Wang Yi can be sure that once the Americans take action, the group's shipyards and aircraft factories will receive a large number of orders from the military because of their first-mover advantage and reserve advantages.

In the military industry, taking advantage of the materialization ability of the god John Wick, Wang Yi replicated the appearance of Garland in his mind.

However, they can only replicate the appearance, and cannot disassemble it into individual parts for military technicians to restore it.

However, after having a specific appearance and Wang Yi's specific requirements, the first batch of prototype guns have been made in the two years since 29. This is the benefit brought by the national destiny buff. When the time comes, the world will work together.
James also assembled a prototype gun in front of Wang Yi using his ability to manipulate metal.

Although it was the first time that Wang Yi touched the Garand semi-automatic rifle, thanks to the film and television works in his previous life, he knew how to operate it without James' demonstration.

"Our friends in the military have also checked it out, and they immediately said they could arrange an early test for us. The Patton staff officer said it would replace the Springfield rifle, and he also praised you, Mr. Wick, saying that you are a far-sighted businessman who completed the weapons the Army wanted without informing the Ordnance Committee."

James' praise came from the heart, because when he took the sample to discuss the matter, he learned that the project and research and development of this thing had been started as early as 1919.

As a result, they were able to surpass the Springfield Armory and produce a rifle that fully met the army's requirements before the Springfield Armory.

However, in this case, this rifle will not be called the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, but will be called the M1 Continental semi-automatic rifle, or the M1 Wick semi-automatic rifle.

Because this was proposed and designed by John Wick, the naming rights are in Wang Yi's hands.

"Tell him that we can provide a batch of sample rifles for free for the army to equip on a small scale. As for the obsolete Field rifles, we can recycle them. I will use them very much. This is a big business. Also, this is for you."

"I understand, Mr. Wick. Staff Officer Patton is very happy to discuss this business with us."

James agreed and took a design paper handed over by Wang Yi. It was also a rifle, but it was an automatic rifle. The name was also easy to remember, called the M3 submachine gun.

That is one of the American standard equipments that only the direct troops behind the bald man are equipped with.

I'm not familiar with this Wang Yi, so I can only copy his appearance. As for the rest, it's okay. The loan shark American national destiny buff on me hasn't disappeared yet, so hurry up and grab it! If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again!

After these instructions were given, Winston also added some information.

Canned Spam produced by Continental successfully opened up the market in Shanghai and soon appeared on the tables of dignitaries. In the United States, canned luncheon meat, which was used as a consumer downgrade and meal replacement, has now become a luxury item there.

This is also one of Continental Group's largest overseas revenues during this period, although it may be suspected of sucking the public's money.

But rather than letting other things become knives for these executives and nobles to suck the blood of the people, it is better to do it myself. Anyway, I have many ways to feedback these things when the time comes.
You didn't stop your hands when you were taking the money, so when I asked you to do something, you just had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, otherwise, I'll use my weapons to treat you!
The construction of the overseas branch of the Mainland Hotel in Shanghai has been accelerated and is expected to be completed after the middle of next year.

The newspaper acquired by the Continental Group was also set up in Shanghai at the instruction of Wang Yi as a supporting facility for the overseas branch of the Continental Hotel.

As for the managers of these two, Winston couldn't think of a suitable candidate for the time being.

"I remember we had a few new talents here before, Bucciarati and Giorno Giovanna, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Wick, they have been selected and become Inhumans, but they have only been a member for more than a year. If we choose them, will others obey?"

"Speaking of which, you and James have only been together for less than three years. Why are the others dissatisfied? It's settled. You should pay more attention and guide these guys for a while. As for the newspaper, James, do you want to ask your good friend Mr. Nick Carraway what he thinks? He is not a stock trader anymore and can't do anything here. How about going overseas to collect information?"

"Mr. Wick, I think Nick would be happy to do this job, and he has a lot of friends in this area. As far as I know, there is one named Edgar Snow who used to be a reporter and correspondent in China for the Republic of China."

When Wang Yi heard James say this name, his heart skipped a beat again, but this time it was a happy skip.

If the American loan shark national destiny buff bestowed upon him now could be transformed into a human form, Wang Yi would definitely give Him a big kiss.

American loan sharking destiny, I love your teeth!

"Then we'll follow your suggestion. As for the name of the newspaper, it will be called Continental Daily. It has only one purpose, which is to be an absolutely neutral and objective third party to record what happened on that land. This is very important reference material. Only in this way can we know which business partners to do business with so that we can make money and be safe. I hope you can remember this, James."

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Wick. I will instruct you and keep a strict check on this."

Finally, there is penicillin, which Wang Yi cared about the most. Thanks to his intervention, penicillin did not fall into obscurity in the paper published in 1929, but was launched early, and the level of confidentiality and security was also maximized.

In fact, this is not necessary, because no one has paid attention to this aspect at all. It is better to be safe than sorry. Wang Yi does not want any problems to occur. This thing is too critical.

With it, too many lives could be saved, and it can also be used as a reason to open source the new home.

The problem facing Wang Yi now is that the cultivation has been stable, but the strain yield has not been able to increase. The screening of high-quality strains is a matter of time and luck.

Now time is on Wang Yi's side, and luck is also temporarily on Wang Yi's side. How to combine the two and monetize them is what Wang Yi needs to consider.

Wang Yi also has an idea. Since science can't figure it out, then he'll use metaphysics!
But there is an animal scientist named Old Meng in my family who is evolving into a biologist, Mendel!
It’s time for you to give these blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners some metaphysical shock!
"You ask Mr. Fleming and his team to perfect the conditions for cultivating the bacteria as much as possible, and leave the rest to me."

"That's not a problem, Mr. Wick."

"That's good, that's all, you can decide for yourselves."

After saying that, Wang Yi used his power. He placed the wine glasses in front of the three people, poured wine into them, and raised his glass to the two men.

"Well, gentlemen, may we and our cause ..."

Winston and James also understood and raised their glasses together and continued in unison.

“Always thrive!”

"You two, change the word."
