While talking, Zheng Datang was also observing Zhu Bin. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't appreciate this thorny head who was doing things unscrupulously and didn't like to listen to orders, despite the fact that this guy seemed generous and paid a lot of money to buy warships for the navy.

, this has nothing to do with him, Adjutant Zheng. As an outstanding soldier personally trained by General Chen, those rigid and rigorous rules and styles have penetrated into his bones. What he can't stand the most is Zhu Bin.

But he had to admit that Zhu Bin's appearance was really good! He was tall and handsome, unlike most people in this era, he had a heroic spirit that looked down on the world. He was full of energy and domineering when he looked around, which was very impressive.

What a coincidence, no wonder the big girls, young ladies and concubines in Shanghai all put his newspaper clipping photos crookedly on their beds, which even made him lovesick. This guy has the talent to be the best pretty boy!

In addition, what surprised Zheng Datang was that Zhu Bin did not seem to panic or lose his temper when a minister took the initiative to visit his home. It seemed that his heartbeat did not even speed up a beat, as if his relatives came to visit. His face was full of enthusiasm, but calm.

Self-satisfied - he didn't know that this was called the sense of superiority due to the difference in civilization. According to Zhu Bin's subconscious, I, a dignified elite trash guy from the interstellar era hundreds of years later, entertained you, a backward aborigine, so why should I make such a fuss?

However, Zhu Bin was still overjoyed. He laughed and reached out to hold Zheng Datang from all the way. He said cheerfully: "It turns out that Adjutant Zheng is here. Zhu Bin is honored! Please sit down, please sit down!"

Zheng Da Teng took off his white gloves with a straight face and gave him a firm shake. Then he said expressionlessly: "Vice Captain Zhu, you're welcome. I'm here specifically to stand in front of Minister Chen. Please cooperate with us in the deployment of defense."

The words had the smell of ice that was 30 degrees below zero. Zhu Bin was a smart person. He knew as soon as he heard this that this person didn't like him very much. Of course he wouldn't get on the pole and be mean, but he didn't get angry about it either. He said with a carefree expression.

Waved his hand: "When we get to my territory, I guarantee that there will be no safety issues. Even if the little devils send a team, I can guarantee the safety of Minister Chen. Don't worry, Adjutant Zheng."

Zheng Datang's face twitched slightly, and an evil spirit surged up in his heart. Of course, he was angered by Zhu Bin's seemingly awesome words and attitude. However, his good self-cultivation prevented him from getting angry immediately, but his eyes instantly became cold.

He stared at Zhu Bin like a knife.

Zhu Bin looked at him unequivocally with a smile, his calm eyes seemed to be wearing a super protective shield, not affected at all.

Outside the door, Captain Wang Pingnan didn't go far at all. He pricked up his ears worriedly and listened to what was going on inside. When he saw that the two people really had a disagreement, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and shouted at a dozen elite volunteer soldiers to destroy the school.

A commanding height was controlled, and a crane gun was set up to block the surrounding area to prevent anyone from approaching, creating a tight and orderly blockade scene.

After a while, a short, stocky and dark-skinned guard trotted in and whispered a few words in Zheng Dayeng's ear. Adjutant Zheng softened his expression slightly and said to Zhu Bin calmly: "The volunteers can do amazing things.

This achievement is not achieved by luck, Vice Captain Zhu’s training is indeed impressive, and Zheng admires it.”

Seeing that he took the initiative to soften the situation, Zhu Bin waved his hands and said humbly: "Adjutant Zheng, don't be so polite. We are still far behind the regular army. So what, when will Minister Chen come? Let's make preparations."

"No need to bother, Minister Chen never likes extravagance and procrastination," Zheng Datang raised his hand to look at his watch, "It should be about to fall."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the roar of a car outside. Not long after, a middle-aged officer in his forties who was dressed in extremely neat and clean clothes came in first. He didn't even let anyone know.

He quickly glanced at Zhu Bin with his clear eyes, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said in a calm voice: "Are you Zhu Hanchen? You are indeed a talented person. I am here unexpectedly, and I hope I will not disturb your normal work."

Zhu Bin is so sweaty, he said to himself that you are also a general and minister, please don’t be so polite, it won’t sound good if you spread the word! Quickly put away the laziness and casualness on your face, straighten your back, and give a standard and powerful military salute

, shouted loudly: "My subordinate is Zhu Bin, and I have met General Chen! I don't know that the general came to inspect the work, but he was not welcomed at a distance. Please criticize him!"

Minister Chen returned the greeting meticulously, and then said gently: "There is no need to be so polite. I am not here for the volunteers, but for you personally, not to mention an inspection. Just be casual."

"Yes!" Zhu Bin stood at attention and agreed, and then invited him to take a seat with both hands and feet. Captain Wang Pingnan had already made preparations secretly. Several cups of hot coffee were immediately served. When he pulled away, he hit Zhu Bin unnoticeably.

Appreciative eyes.

Zhu Bin sat upright on the chair opposite to Minister Chen, with his buttocks only halfway up and his back straight. He was sitting like a clock, as stable as Mount Tai, calm and calm. In his mind, he was quickly comparing the information and rumors about the general and minister in front of him.

.

From the beginning, the Navy Ministry was the key target of Zhu Bin's series of plans, so he collected a lot of information about Minister Chen Shaokuan and had a more detailed understanding of it, and even read some articles he published in newspapers.

, some rumors and gossip in the market, and so on. Taken together, this man is a man of integrity, integrity, outstanding conduct, and magnanimity. There are few wizards in the army. He is a rare and rare talent in this era. To sum up, this is almost a genius.

He is a perfect professional soldier, but it is difficult to find fault with him.

For such a person, flattery, backdoor tactics, and other methods are useless. If you want to impress him, there is only one way, and that is to make great achievements through your own legitimate efforts, maintain a good military appearance, and rely on your ability in a serious manner.

Come into his eyes.

Because he knew this, Zhu Bin felt strange that this man who was always polite to everyone, even Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek had a headache for him but could do nothing about him, how could he take the initiative to come to see him? Could it be because of the battleship?!

Chen Shaokuan observed Zhu Bin calmly and found that the young man's every move, expression and attitude were outstanding in every aspect. He was no less than the best soldier he had ever seen. He was not at all like the domineering young man in the newspapers and rumors.

Although he is energetic, he is calm, sophisticated, deep and restrained. From the appearance alone, he is impeccable.

Nodding secretly, Minister Chen went straight to the topic: "The main reason I came here is because you entrusted Shen Chang Yang Company to purchase decommissioned American battleships. I heard that you used your personal property to purchase two 'Florida-class' battleships as gifts to the Department of the Navy?

"

"Yes." Zhu Bin answered simply, "I accidentally heard that the decommissioned American battleships were going to be dismantled and scrapped, so I entrusted General Manager Ma Yier to contact them on my behalf, but I didn't expect a response so soon."

Zhu Bin really didn't expect that the news would come out in just ten days. But he didn't know that the old guy Ma Yier had encountered such a big deal before retiring. His enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. After he took a ton of gold that day, he immediately telegraphed the news.

He went to the New York headquarters to contact him, but he did not expect that the New York side would contact them immediately after getting the news. However, another rival, Westinghouse Electric, found out about the matter. William Hunter, a senior employee of his company, immediately informed his friend Kong Xiangxi of the news. The U.S. side had not yet

How about it? Domestic giants know it first!

Then, the U.S. Navy was also baffled by this sudden order. These retired battleships looked majestic, but they were nothing to the wealthy United States. They were dismantled as soon as they were told and rebuilt when needed. But this was ultimately a waste.

No one can benefit yet, and now someone actually wants to pick up the rags. The relevant personnel suddenly stared at it - this is a big business worth millions of dollars! These days, with the global Great Depression, the elites of Wall Street are all arrogant.

The stall is selling apples, no one is short of money!

Therefore, the response to this matter was astonishingly fast. Just before Zhu Bin caused a stir on the battlefield, the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Shanghai had received domestic notification and contacted the government to inquire about the details. After all, although this transaction was privately funded, it was impossible
