Brigadier Pershing, who was invited to dinner by the Pattons, was very willing.

First of all, Patton was an admirable soldier, more resolute and more warlike than any soldier he had ever seen. Unfortunately, unfortunately, he lived in an era of "peace", and at least in the United States there was no possibility that he would encounter the war to which he had always longed, unless the United States entered the war in Europe.

But the French government's suspicion of the Americans who went to help helped in this matter. Although the incident was merely related to a Chinese-American, he was an American after all, and the French government should not have doubted his loyalty so easily.

Of course, this was Pershing's judgment based on the slightest knowledge of what Tang Yunyang had done to the French Military Intelligence Agency, otherwise, he must have thought that this Tang Yunyang was an out-and-out dangerous villain who used all the means that should not be used for his business.

Secondly, the reason for this dinner was that he was already very fond of Barton's 29-year-old sister, Nita, and in his eyes, this lovely girl was undoubtedly the right person to be the stepmother of his children and his wife.

Inexplicably, Barton, who invited him, was extremely mysterious when he invited him, saying that there was a guest he must need to meet, and asking him to listen carefully to the conversation, because it was a rare wonderful person!

"What kind of guy is this? A good military man? The guy who can make Barton a wonderful guy must be the latter! ”

With a guess in his heart, Pershing arrived at Barton's house. When he entered the foyer, the "wonderful man" came into his eyes.

This is a beautiful girl, no more than 20 years old, who is now leading her two daughters to play like a big sister. This made Pershing wonder how the Bartons didn't look like people who would be eager to introduce female companions! And how this girl's age looks like her own daughter may be more suitable.

Soon, Patton's sister Nita, who lived with him, cleared Pershing's doubts.

"Dear General, it is a pleasure to be able to see your appreciation!"

"Dear Miss Nitta, you know that having you at a party is always a pleasure! Believe me, I am very happy and looking forward to attending such a party! Oh, by the way, there's a little thing, and I'd like to ask the lady to tell me about it, and that's how it happened......"

By inquiring about the news of the "wonderful man", Pershing took Nita's little hand, and did not seem to have any intention of letting go immediately. In fact, Patton's sister Nita was not so interested in Pershing, but due to her brother's situation, she sometimes had to perfunctory him, but fortunately, this nightmarish day was coming to an end.

"Here's the thing......"

When Nita's beautiful voice sounded, Pershing learned the identity of this "wonderful man".

"Well, Mike, who is famous in France. Prince. The vice president of the Merlin military-industrial complex, how could he be here? Is there something going on here? ”

According to the information in the newspaper and on the wireless radio, Tang Yunyang has created such an impression on the American soldiers who are paying attention to him: as long as he appears, something must happen there, and usually these things are not easy to solve.

"General, you may have misunderstood, it is not Mr. Tang mentioned on the radio, it is the new vice president Mike. Mr. Lang. Speaking of which, he was a really interesting lad. ”

"He's funny?" The question in his heart made Pershing feel a little relieved, and the anxiety in his heart made him ask Nita a little excitedly.

"Is he a funny young man?"

How could Nita not know Pershing's thoughts, women in their teenage years were always sensitive to such things. Glancing at Pershing, he was very pleased with the eagerness he had shown.

"Of course it's a young man, a few years younger than me, and you know what? He would use his ability to bite the moon for the children and trick our little Beatrice into the biscuits, isn't such an older kid still an interesting person? ”

"Hmm!"

Nita's tone reassured Pershing that since he wasn't a threat, he might be a friend to talk to.

Soon after, at the official dinner, Pershing saw this guy whom Barton called "Wonderful Man", and he really couldn't imagine that such a guy could start such a big business at such a young age. According to sources in the domestic military, Mike. Prince. The capabilities of the Merlin military-industrial complex in the production of weapons have begun to exceed the capabilities of some domestic enterprises in the United States. Although its main production base is in France, it is still an American company that can compete with American arms dealers.

Dinner on top of Mike. Lang's flattering and joking mouth won everyone's favor, and the dinner ended in a very cheerful atmosphere. As usual, after dinner, the women gathered around the two children in the living room, and Barton's study became a place for the three to talk.

"General, this is a proposal from our company, and we would be very grateful if you could take a look at it and give me some advice!"

Pershing didn't have much affection for the arms company, but even for the sake of Patton's face and Nitta's face, he had to take the plan and take a look at it, intending to end the conversation with two irrelevant words.

But when he took the plan and read it cursoryly, the impression in his mind immediately changed completely. The plan in his hand is almost perfect, and the data in it would not have been possible to list it in such detail if it were not for professional personnel.

The plan includes two documents, one is the calculation of the means of transportation that the US military may adopt if it enters the war and the cost of each way, and points out that the most important part of the army's transportation process is actually the heavy weapons it contains, especially artillery and other equipment.

The document details the merchant fleet to be hired, which not only will the United States have to pay huge transportation costs, but it will also cause significant losses to the American economy if these merchant ships cease commercial operations.

The other document is the main body of the plan, which mainly explains the possible loss of shipping, damage during transportation, and other unfavorable factors in the process of transporting many auxiliary equipment, including heavy artillery, to France, as well as the price paid by the United States.

In the end, the conclusion and the suggestion that was in the interests of the United States was given, and it was this suggestion that silenced Pershing, holding the plan and silently smoking a cigar.
