More than ten days have passed since Lu Chen returned from Douglas Manor. Lu Chen finally received the document bag sent by the US Army in the factory.
Lu Chen was very happy to get the document. As soon as he returned to his office with the document bag, he couldn't wait to open the document.
Lu Chen glanced at the document bag, which contained five military officer IDs. Lu Chen was stunned.
"Why are there five certificates? It can't be because I'm dazzled."
Lu Chen checked carefully and found that he had read it correctly. It was indeed five books.
"Aren't there only four people joining the US military? How come there are five certificates?"
Lu Chen said to himself. Then he took out all these documents. He had to see if those in the U.S. Army had issued the wrong documents. I also sent other people's documents to him.
Lu Chen opened the documents one by one and looked at them.
Zhang Hui, Second Lieutenant, Philippine Regiment, Special Company, 1st Platoon Commander.
Qi Jiang, second lieutenant, 2nd platoon leader.
Liu Qiang, second lieutenant, 3rd Platoon Commander.
Zhao Hua, second lieutenant, 4th platoon leader.
Lu Chen looked at 4 certificates in a row, all of which were his own. He opened the fifth certificate with some curiosity.
It was clearly written on it.
Lu Chen, lieutenant, commander of the special company.
Lu Chen looked at the certificate in confusion. What the hell is going on? Why do I also have a certificate? Did the Americans make a mistake? I didn't say I was going to join the army.
Lu Chen took the ID and quickly called Green to confirm.
"Hi, hello, I'm Green. May I ask..."
Before Green could finish speaking, Lu Chen immediately said:
"Mr. Green, did you make a mistake? Why did you get me into the army?"
Green said with some surprise: "No, those people in the military department should not make mistakes. Are you making a mistake?"
Lu Chen was speechless. He already had the documents, how could he make a mistake. Lu Chen said:
"Mr. Green, now I have a certificate proving that I am an officer in the U.S. Army. It also gives me the rank of lieutenant. How could I be wrong?"
Green was stunned and said in disbelief:
"What's going on with you? Why are you directly promoted to lieutenant? I said in the letter that your man will be given the rank of second lieutenant."
Lu Chen was angry. Is military rank the important thing now? The focus now is why he joined the US military, Lu Chen said angrily.
"How do I know what this is? I am a serious and legal businessman, but you have somehow got me into the Army. I am asking you now what is the situation. How much is the salary of the lieutenant you arranged for me? I guess A year's salary is not as high as my day's income. Stop talking nonsense and quickly find a way to get me off the Army list."
Green didn't know what was going on now, so he quickly replied:
"Don't worry, I'm going to find out what the situation is. After I find out, I'll see how to deal with this matter."
After speaking, Green hung up the phone.
Lu Chen's good mood was completely ruined by this military officer's ID card. He had Zhang Hui and others called over, and then threw their ID cards into their respective hands.
Lu Chen said angrily:
"This is your ID. From now on you will be a second lieutenant in the United States Army."
After Zhang Hui took the certificate, he immediately looked at it and saw that all the words written inside were foreign characters. He didn't recognize it at all. After hearing Lu Chen's words, he said happily:
"Boss, am I an official now?"
Lu Chen glanced at Zhang Hui. He didn't expect that a second lieutenant platoon leader would make Zhang Hui so happy. He said impatiently:
"Yes, you are now second lieutenants. You are no longer the same big-headed soldiers as before."
Zhang Hui and the others became even happier after hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhang Hui said excitedly.
"I am finally an officer. I can also falsely report the number of people and eat my salary."
Lu Chen was stunned by Zhang Hui's words. Is this why this person became an official? He asked in disbelief:
"Zhang Hui, you are an official just for free money?"
Zhang Hui said matter-of-factly:
"Yes, you can get promoted and make a fortune. If you want to make a fortune in the army, what else can you do if you don't get paid for it?"
Lu Chen quickly warned:
"Zhang Hui, let me tell you, this is the United States, and wages here are paid by the government, not by military officers. Don't mess around here."
When Zhang Hui heard what Lu Chen said, he immediately felt that the military officer's certificate in his hand was no longer good. He curled his lips and said:
"That's right, then what's the point of being an officer? I might as well be a top soldier."
Lu Chen said speechlessly: "What kind of thinking are you thinking? Don't they say that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers? Don't you want to lead your own troops?"
Zhang Hui replied: "What's the good thing about leading an army? It's hard and tiring, and you have to shoulder responsibilities. It's better to be a leading soldier. You don't have to worry about anything, just do your own thing well."
Lu Chen looked at the others and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"
The answers from Liu Qiang and others were basically similar to Zhang Hui's. The idea of getting rich as an official has been ingrained in their bones.
After understanding the thoughts of the last few people, Lu Chen's nose became crooked with anger. Damn it’s just these few people’s ideological consciousness. How can I count on them.
Lu Chen angrily drove these unmotivated guys out of the office. Then he dealt with the factory affairs in a depressed manner.
It wasn't until the sun rose above that Green's phone call came.
After Lu Chen found out that the call was from Green, he said angrily:
"Mr. Green, you finally called me back. How did you inquire about my affairs? Can you cancel my military status now?"
Green said with some embarrassment:
"Brother Lu Chen, it may be difficult to cancel your military status."
"It's a little difficult, what do you mean?"
Lu Chen was anxious and said quickly: "There is no war in the United States now, and the economy is not optimistic. Isn't the military very willing to see the removal of a military quota?"
Green explained:
"Lu Chen, your military status is really irrevocable. Let me tell you the truth. The old man arranged your name. Without his words, no one would dare to kick you out of the army."
Hearing that he could not get rid of his military status, Lu Chen became a little anxious and said:
"Mr. Green, you can't do this. I still have a lot of things to take care of in the factory. How can I have time to join the army? Let me tell you, even if you don't cancel my military status, I won't Reporting to the military department.”
Green said patiently:
"Brother Lu Chen, whether I still know about you or not, I have already told the old man about your situation.
The old man finally relaxed. He said that it is impossible to withdraw your military membership, but your special company can be counted as a non-staff unit. You don’t have to stay in the Philippines forever. You only have to go to the Philippines for one month every year. Then just leave the company's affairs to your subordinates. "
Lu Chen was so angry that his teeth itched. What kind of thing is this? Wasn't he tricked by Green? Damn it, he somehow became a lieutenant in the US military. He angrily kicked the stool next to him, feeling that he couldn't just be tricked by this old boy Green and had to get some benefits from him.
Lu Chen thought for a while, didn't he order a few weapons production lines from the Jew Feili? When the production lines arrived, he could produce weapons. But he does not have a license to produce weapons. Thinking of this, Lu Chen had an idea.
"Mr. Green, you have gone too far in this matter. You have forcibly dragged me into the US military without consulting me. You have to give me an explanation."
When Green heard this, he knew that Lu Chen was seeking compensation from him. He said helplessly:
"Tell me how I can compensate you."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Green, Mr. Green, I will have several production lines for firearms and bullets coming to the United States recently. I want to build these production lines to produce weapons."
Green quickly said: "This won't work. Several arms giants in the United States have now firmly controlled American arms production. They will not allow new arms companies in the United States."
Lu Chen said: "What if it's not in the United States."
Green was stunned and asked: "Then where do you want to build it?"
"Philippines, I want to build a military factory in the Philippines."
Green thought for a while and then said: "If it is in the Philippines, I can help you get a license. But even if you establish a military factory in the Philippines, it is impossible to sell the arms to the United States."
Lu Chen said: "You don't have to worry, I am not going to sell the arms I produce to the United States."
"In that case, I'm relieved. When will you start building a factory in the Philippines, just tell me. By the way, you are now a member of the Philippine Legion. You have to go to the Philippines with me recently. "
Lu Chen said helplessly: "Okay, I'll prepare now."
