Chapter 355 Have you ever thought about the future?
As a native of Shanghai, Lin Yashi, who returned to Shanghai on this trip, had more tasks. She had to interrupt her studies and travel far away due to family changes, and she also planned to visit some old friends, elders and besties.
Using what Hu Biao told her, I hope to use her connections in Shanghai to invite some girls who know nursing and educated to join the team. Although it is risky to join the anti-Japanese team, Hu Biao believes that some girls are still willing to accept the invitation.
With the damage caused to the residents of Shanghai by the Battle of Song and Shanghai, Lin Yashi, who had become a poor girl overnight, should not be the only one. These girls in distress were what Hu Biao wanted.
Although Hu Biao has not considered forming a female soldier team for the time being, he still hopes to form a nursing team first. As long as these girls are willing to go to the army, Hu Biao believes that they will find a home in the end when they arrive in the army.
Regarding Hu Biao's plan, Lin Yashi also laughed and scolded: "Are you recruiting soldiers or finding a wife for your subordinates?"
"Even if you recruit soldiers, you also want to find a wife for them. You see, Sandao and others are not young. If you can find a girl who is close to you to get married and have children, wouldn't that be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone? Could it be that you look down on us big-headed soldiers?"
"I never thought about it like that. I will do this, but I hope that such things can follow their own choices. At least I don't want to see that bullying happen among your subordinates."
"Don't you know the discipline of our team? Don't worry!"
The two doctors recruited in the previous period have now been at the cave hospital. Even some time ago, Hu Biao entrusted people from the Military Control Commission to bring the families of the two doctors over and let the two doctors stay in the mountains with peace of mind.
Compared with the base construction in Zaozhuang, the base construction behind enemy lines in Runzhou was undoubtedly earlier and larger. Even in the cave hospital, there were several young girls who had been found from nearby villages and asked them to act as nurses.
It’s a pity that, including the two doctors, seems to have nothing to do recently. The reason is that the detachment has not had many combat tasks in the near future. Without combat tasks, there will be no wounded. Without wounded, the hospital will naturally have nothing to do.
Hu Biao hopes that Lin Yashi will be the treasurer of the Aihua Trading Company, which was established in the name of Brooke, will be more likely to be the treasurer of business matters. He thinks it is better to leave it to Brooke to take care of it. The shopkeeper on the surface will be able to hire another person at that time.
As the big boss of the company, Hu Biao will only hide behind the scenes. Even if Lin Yashi, who is the head of finance, Hu Biao will let her show up as little as possible. If there is really something, she can also bring Brooke out and let her take action to solve the problem.
In order to gain more fame for Lin Yashi, Hu Biao drew several elite team members from his command and asked them to serve as Lin Yashi's personal bodyguards. The first stop to accumulate fame was to go to the school where she had attended earlier to visit and donate money.
Five thousand US dollars and a batch of daily necessities such as food soon became the first publicity fee for Lin Yashi to give back to his alma mater. In Hu Biao's view, the influence of Lin Yashi's church school in the concession and even the country behind him cannot be ignored.
For girls like Lin Yashi who are keen on charity and know how to be grateful and give back, I believe that those church members will give preferential treatment. With this amulet, even if the Japanese want to touch Lin Yashi in the future, they will have to consider the consequences.
In addition to Lin Yashi's alma mater, some organizations in Shanghai that provide refugee relief also donate to the form of donating money to damage materials. The donor is Aihua Company formed by American expatriates, and the donor is naturally the wife of the boss of Lin Yashi.
Although each donation costs a lot, people will be tolerant and loving to those who are keen on doing good deeds. So the establishment of the Aihua Company in the US Concession quickly became the new focus of the Concession Chamber of Commerce.
On the day the company opened, many foreign ties and military officers attended, which also made many local wealthy businessmen feel that the background of this business is not simple. Surprisingly, the boss of this business never showed up, and only Lin Yashi came out for socializing and reception.
As the behind-the-scenes planner, Hu Biao arranged the task for Lin Yashi and came to the small western-style building purchased by the French Concession. Seeing Hu Biao who appeared three days later, Nina, who had been waiting for him, seemed very happy and surprised.
"Dear, I thought you forgot me!"
"Don't worry! I said that as long as you don't betray and leave on your own initiative, I will always regard you as my woman. I have been very busy during this period, and I still took the time to come here specially today. By the way, has your brother's surgery been successful?"
This decision to stay in Shanghai for a while is more to improve the layout in Shanghai. If I said that Ihua Company was launched by Hu Biao for Brooke and others to see, then Nina's side is the backup he reserved.
The cooperation between light and dark makes it easier to hide strength. This time I came here, and I also planned to appease Nina and chat with Nina's father. In the past few days, through the intelligence officers sent by Xu Sandao, Hu Biao learned more about the situation of the Belarusian ethnic group.
From the warlords' melee in the early Republic of China to the full outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Belarusians who were in exile in China have begun to act as mercenaries. For many Belarusian young people, they will work hard for whoever gives the money.
Although similar to the warlord melee, the established Belarusian armed forces no longer existed. However, according to what Hu Biao learned, there were many Belarusian soldiers in the French Concession and even the public concession.
Perhaps in the eyes of many foreigners, although these Belarusians are not easy to discipline, they are the best targets for thugs. As long as their requirements are met, these Belarusian officers and soldiers in the army will work hard for them.
Carrying the vodka I bought, Hu Biao also said directly: "Mr. Ivan, can you have a drink together?"
"Please treat me to drink? It seems that you came here this time not for Nina, but for me, right?"
"It seems that Mr. Ivan is indeed a smart person! But to me, Nina is my woman, and you are her father. Although I can't promise Nina to the future, I believe you shouldn't refuse to talk to me, right?"
"Hmph! It seems that you are really not a good person!"
"What are good people? What are bad people? For you, the Soviet army that overthrew Tsarist Russia was bad people. But for the liberated Soviet people, they were heroes and even good people. Good people and bad people also depend on their position, right?"
Hu Biao did not take the dissatisfaction Ivan too seriously. For him, if Ivan was not tactful, he would not mind choosing a partner worthy of support from other Belarusians in the concession.
When Ivan sat down, Hu Biao patted Nina who was sitting beside him and said with a smile: "Nina, I want to talk to your father alone. Don't worry, I believe we will have a great chat. I brought some beef here. Can you make dinner for me?"
"Of course! Dear, if there is anything wrong with my father, can you forgive him for my sake?"
"Don't you believe me? Don't worry, we're just drinking and chatting, after all, we all need to deepen our understanding, don't we?"
After three days of waiting and calmness, Nina had already guessed that Hu Biao was powerful and had a mysterious background. Although Hu Biao looked different from the gang members, she was still worried whether Hu Biao would be the kind of agent in charge of intelligence.
Since the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, Nina, who was in the French Concession, has also heard of many assassinations and assassinations of agents. She knew that if Hu Biao was really the head of a local agent, then such a person must not be offended, otherwise the whole family would be in danger.
But she understood even more that she could live in a small foreign building now, and her brother lying in the hospital would not have to worry about being kicked out of the hospital. All this was due to Hu Biao's help. Without Hu Biao, all of what she had now would have become a bubble.
Looking at Nina who was leaving uneasy, Hu Biao, who poured a glass of wine for Ivan, smiled and said, "What did you say to her?"
"I didn't say anything! I just told her that you are a very dangerous guy. Although I have been away from the army for many years, I can still see the murderous aura hidden on you. If you are not a member of the gang, you should be an agent of the local government, right?"
Hu Biao was really surprised by Ivan's frankness, but he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you seem to have made mistakes in your judgment of my identity. One thing you see is right. I have indeed killed many people, and the number is too large to remember.
As far as I know, you fled to Shanghai and served as a lieutenant colonel in the Tsarist Russian army. So what I want to know is how much influence do you have on these compatriots living in the French Concession? Secondly, do you have trustworthy subordinates in the Concession?"
Facing Hu Biao's inquiry, Ivan said a little lonely: "If it were before the war broke out, I might have some influence. But now, I am just a pitiful person. Otherwise, Nina wouldn't have done that!"
"So have you ever thought about the future? Or, have you really thought about the honor of reviving the family?"
"Boy, just say anything if you have anything to do! Although I have almost become a useless person now, I was at least a Count granted by Tsarist Russia before. I still have the ability to distinguish some things. What exactly do you want to do?"
"There is a saying that you seem to be wrong again. Actually, what I want to say is, have you ever thought about doing something? Even if you don't do it for yourself, you should at least consider your son's future, right?
As far as I know, the General Anlongke fan club that Nuvich joined earlier has a considerable influence among the Belarusian ethnic group. Most of the young people are descendants of soldiers. Nuvich also serves as a small leader in this organization, right?
As the Count of Tsarist Russia, even if you are willing to be ordinary, I believe your son should not be willing? What I want to say is that if I provide funds or even weapons and ammunition, how many Belarusians who dare to fight for their lives?"
As Hu Biao said this, Ivan, who was originally lazy, suddenly said with a sharp look: "Do you want the Belarusians to attack those little dwarfs for you? But have you ever thought about what consequences will be caused by doing this?"
"In my opinion, no matter how bad things are, they can't actually go wrong. Is this kind of survival situation what you hope for?"
There are not many people in the Belarusian ethnic group that confront the Japanese, but most of them are private and secret fights, and rarely involve political battles. If the Japanese are really annoyed, it is probably difficult for the French Concession to ensure the safety of the Belarusian ethnic group!
