Chapter 337 The Cannon Was Stolen
Lu Chen did not stay in the Middle East for long. He set off for the Magic City the next day after he reached an agreement with Aziz. This was mainly because he was a little pressed for time. He had already spent more than half a month on the way here. Now there was only a little more than a month left before the ship was picked up. He really couldn't delay any longer.
A few days later, Lu Chen and his group finally arrived in the Magic City. As usual, as soon as Lu Chen got ashore, he asked Hans to take him to his company.
After Lu Chen returned to the company, he immediately walked towards his second brother's office.
Lu Yunting was a little dazed when he saw Lu Chen. After he came to his senses, he quickly stood up and asked Lu Chen to sit down.
"Old Third, why didn't you inform me when you came back?"
Lu Chen pouted and said, "Why should I notify you? Can you pick me up at the dock?"
"What you said makes me wonder why I can't pick you up at the dock."
"Tsk, you're going to pick me up at the dock, aren't you afraid that people will suspect your identity?"
"What am I afraid of? Who in Demon City doesn't know that I'm your employee? Isn't it normal for an employee to pick up his boss?"
Lu Chen looked at Lu Yunting in surprise.
"Second brother, what big thing have you done? How come you are so famous in the Magic City? Even everyone in the Magic City knows you. You didn't let anyone recognize you, did you?"
Lu Yunting looked at Lu Chen unhappily and said, "It's all because of you. If you hadn't sent the boss a dozen cannons, no one would have noticed me like this."
Lu Chen frowned and asked, "Has the news of me sending artillery to the boss been leaked?"
Lu Yunting nodded and said, "This matter has been reported for more than a year."
Hearing that this matter had been out for more than a year, Lu Chen's brows furrowed even more. It was fine to sell equipment to the army secretly, but it was not what Lu Chen wanted to do to make it known to everyone.
Lu Chen asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "Second brother, tell me who spread this news. I'm going to kill him. Damn, he's cutting off my source of income."
"Who else could it be? It must be the special commissioner from Nanjing. He somehow found out where the boss had the cannon, so he wanted to get it to Nanjing. The boss had no choice but to say that the cannon was yours."
Lu Chen was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"Damn, this is too shameless. How dare the special commissioner ask that question? And what about Commander Wu? Isn't he the boss's superior? How can he just watch the boss being bullied?"
Lu Yunting said, "How dare you say that? You only know how to get good things for the boss, but you don't even give anything to General Wu. The strength of the boss's troops is more powerful than all the other troops of General Wu combined. It's good enough that others don't cause trouble for the boss, and you still want them to take the initiative to help?"
When Lu Chen heard that Commander Wu did not help his elder brother, he immediately exploded.
"What? He really didn't protect the boss. I sold him hundreds of thousands of rifles at a low price, but he didn't even help me with this. Also, what happened to that batch of artillery? Is it still in the boss's hands?"
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yunting nervously. He was a little afraid that Lu Jiaming failed to keep the batch of artillery. If that was the case, how would Lu Jiaming fight the subsequent battles.
"I heard from others that most of your artillery pieces are still with the boss."
"Most of it! So they did take some of it away."
Lu Yunting: "If we don't let them take some away, they will immediately find all kinds of reasons to remove the boss from his position, and then all the equipment will be in the hands of others."
Lu Chen also knew this was the truth, but he was still a little angry. He secretly decided that he would not let those who stole his artillery have an easy time.
Lu Chen looked at his second brother and asked, "Second brother, do you know that those people stole my artillery?"
Lu Yunting said: "Government troops and Commander Wu"
"Government troops, do you have any specific numbers or names?"
Lu Chen asked.
"I really don't know about that. I only know that the artillery was taken away by those people from the logistics department. As for who it was distributed to, I don't know."
Since he didn't know the specific person, Lu Chen could only put the blame on the person who liked to curse "Niang Xipi". Lu Chen planned to find the Song family after returning to the United States and let them settle their losses with him.
After secretly cursing those people in Jinling, Lu Chen's anger subsided a lot. Then he remembered the purpose of his visit to Lu Yunting.
Damn, I was so angry that I almost forgot about the important matter. After Lu Chen complained in his heart for a while, he said to Lu Yunting:
"Brother, do you have time? I have something to discuss with you."
Lu Yunting smiled and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. Do I look like I have something wrong?"
Lu Chen also smiled and said, "I'm asking this because I'm worried that you have plans. Since you have nothing to do today, I want to tell you something."
Lu Yunting said "hmm", then looked at Lu Chen and motioned him to continue.
Lu Chen didn't waste any words and said directly: "Second brother, I am planning to build a base in the Middle East. I plan to train some talents in the base. I wonder if your organization has any needs in this regard."
"Training talents? Is it about the company's business operations?"
"No, it's about military matters, such as pilots, captains, first mates, sailors, etc. I wonder if your organization is interested."
Lu Yunting looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
"Don't you run a company? How can you train talents in this field?"
Lu Chen lied, "I am cooperating with a government in the Middle East. They have a need for this, so I started to provide training in this area."
Lu Yunting was actually quite interested in the talents that Lu Chen mentioned, but he was not a leader, so he could only say to Lu Chen:
"I can't decide on this matter. I have to consult my leader first. I can give you a reply after they discuss it."
"How long will it take for them to respond? I can't stay here for more than a few days."
Lu Yunting said: "I don't know exactly how long it will take. If you have urgent matters, go and deal with your matters. I will notify you when they have the results."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, if you are willing to send someone, just send me a telegram and I will arrange for someone to pick them up."
