#586 - Chapter 586 Ding Xiang's dream of being a knight? To control South America and to spread
Cangzhou is the hometown of Chinese martial arts and also boasts a variety of delicacies.
Hejian donkey burger.
Hot pot chicken.
Sheep intestine soup.
Around eleven o'clock at night, the late-night snack stalls are booming.
In fact, half a year ago, the nights weren't so lively, mainly because the economic level was too limited.
All thanks to Chen Hao!
The Hebei Industrial Park was completed and put into production, requiring a large number of upstream and downstream suppliers, and the country also invested heavily in infrastructure.
Several months ago.
The brain-computer interface research and development was completed, and more technology was handed over to the country, which then distributed it to private enterprises. Hebei enterprises also received a share—in short, the entire country is in a state of labor shortage.
Companies and factories are bidding against each other to snatch people!
When people have money in their hands, they have the ability to spend.
Income increases.
Consumption explodes.
Forming a perfect demand cycle.
Chen Hao, Xia Qingmo, and Ding Xiang are at one table.
Xiang Yan and Shi Dali are at another table.
"How did you convince Grandpa?"
Ding Xiang asked while eating.
The old man's character is extremely stubborn, and no one can change his decisions.
"I talked to him about dreams."
"Me?"
In a good mood, she became more talkative: "When I was a kid, I wanted to be a female knight-errant... Qingmo, don't laugh!"
When she grew up, she knew that there were no female knight-errants in the real world.
Are there any similar professions?
Thus.
She chose to join the army.
"So, your dream is not to be a soldier," Chen Hao said.
"But there are no female knight-errants, it's not a martial arts world."
"Not necessarily."
"What do you mean?"
"Qingmo will be in the research and development center for a long time—you'll have nothing to do."
Chen Hao lowered his voice: "Why not... go complete your initial dream?"
Ding Xiang was confused.
She just said that reality is not a martial arts world, so where would female knight-errants come from?
Not just her?
Many people in that era had a martial arts dream in their childhood.
Wandering the world with a sword!
Helping the weak and suppressing the strong!
Seeking pleasure and revenge!
"The essence of a knight-errant is to bravely do what is right and help the weak and suppress the strong," Chen Hao chuckled.
"That's right!"
"Soldiers are bound by discipline, and with domestic peace and stability, the dream of being a female knight-errant... is quite different."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Besides, you're just a small soldier, how can you help the weak and suppress the strong? Rely on brute force, or a gun?"
"I'm a lieutenant!"
Ding Xiang retorted unhappily.
She is not an ordinary small soldier; a lieutenant is a mid-to-low-level officer.
"It's all the same."
Chen Hao was too lazy to argue with her: "Go to Chile! It's a nail I embedded in North America's backyard!"
Although those 'mercenaries' in Myanmar are not controlled by Gusta, there is no one who can stand alone.
"Huh?!"
Ding Xiang's eyes widened.
Her level could not possibly know about those top-secret national layouts.
Chile?
A nail?
"Soon, Chile will hold a new round of elections, and Gusta will be elected if there are no accidents."
Chen Hao explained in a low voice: "At that time, the Chilean military and government will be under his control, which may breed ambition."
Use mercenaries to check and balance Gusta and suppress his potential ambitions.
The mercenaries are there.
The problem is...
The command is in distant Myanmar.
In fact, Chen Hao has been considering establishing a new overseas legion.
The mercenaries were sent by He Dayuan.
Germany.
South Korea.
All have mercenaries!
Will He Dayuan become inflated?
Standing in Chen Hao's position, everything is for the benefit of China first, and he must consider everything comprehensively, rather than betting on other people's loyalty—the best way is to have multiple overseas forces to check and balance each other.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
He understands this principle!
He plans to have Ding Xiang be responsible for South America.
And other regions will have new people in charge.
Ding Xiang was stunned.
Looking at Chen Hao in disbelief.
His hand...
Has already reached South America?!
"So... you are controlling Chile?!"
Ding Xiang's heart couldn't help but twitch.
The mercenaries come from Myanmar, and the supreme controller of Myanmar is only responsible to him alone.
"South America is North America's backyard, and most countries have good relations with North America. When you get there... you can seek pleasure and revenge," Chen Hao said with a smile.
Beat those who should be beaten!
Kill those who should be killed!
"When are we going?" Ding Xiang became excited.
"Spend time with your family first, wait until the general election is settled."
The old man agreed verbally not to interfere with her decision, but in his heart...
He still can't bear to let her go!
That's good.
While there is still some time before the Chilean election, let her stay in her hometown and spend time with her family.
......
The next morning.
Ding Xiang sent the young couple to the door.
"I'll take you to the provincial capital," she said, full of reluctance.
"No need."
Chen Hao smiled: "Just spend time with your family, this is the only free time you have, in the future... there will be few opportunities to come back."
"Ding Xiang..."
Xia Qingmo suddenly called out.
The next moment.
She walked straight over and gave her a big hug: "In the future..."
Just as she said the word 'future', she felt a pang of sadness in her heart for no reason.
The two people who had been together day and night were about to separate, and it would be difficult to see each other again in the future.
"Don't be sad."
Ding Xiang gently stroked her back: "Before I leave, I will definitely go to Shanghai to see you! Even if I go abroad in the future, I will still go to Shanghai when I come back, and you and Chen Hao... I wish you a lifetime of happiness!"
She was still hugging Xia Qingmo.
But her eyes fell on Chen Hao not far away.
Goodbye!
She thought to herself.
On the other side.
In order to give the two girls time to say goodbye, Chen Hao walked not far away.
Suddenly!
A call came in.
"Commander!"
General Wang's tone was excited: "Good news! Among the ten expressways, four have been fully opened to traffic!"
Chen Hao was stunned.
He initially proposed building ten expressways.
He also invested the initial funds.
Finally...
Completed and opened to traffic?!
These ten expressways are just the beginning. With the GDP soaring several times, infrastructure no longer needs his support, and the country will allocate funds—currently, there are dozens under construction.
"Half of the toll rights are in your name!" General Wang said with a smile.
"That's not my intention," Chen Hao shook his head.
The old man took the initiative to hand over five toll rights to him.
He refused, but did not succeed.
"I have something to report to the old man."
He expressed his idea of building foreign legions in Chile, the Middle East, Europe, and even more regions in the future.
These legions should be managed by different people, with no connection to each other.
There is only one goal.
Check and balance!
The two chatted for a while, and after Xia Qingmo and Ding Xiang separated, the young couple got into the car.
"Chen Hao."
Xia Qingmo's mood was low: "I... I feel so uncomfortable."
Her eyes were red.
"I understand."
Chen Hao nodded, then a thought flashed through his mind: "Several expressways have opened to traffic, how about... a road trip?"
"What is a road trip?" Xia Qingmo did not understand the term.
"Drive back to Shanghai!"
"Ah?!"
Her face turned pale, and she shook her head repeatedly: "I still need to quickly return to the project team..."
"I heard Zhao Jianfeng say that you work like crazy all day long."
"I..."
"I told him that if you continue like this, not caring about your body, I will have you withdraw from the project team."
"No way!"
"So, we need to combine work and rest."
"This..."
She knew that her boyfriend was concerned about her.
She really likes research and development work!
In order to avoid being fired, she could only agree to the road trip.
Until...
Driving on the brand-new expressway, seeing the countless scenery along the way, the thoughts of 'being forced' to accept the road trip in order to appease her boyfriend had long since disappeared.
After all, she is not even 20 years old yet!
How could she not be playful?
Driving from Cangzhou back to Shanghai, even with the shortened expressway distance, still takes a lot of time.
A few hours later.
"Ahead... be careful!" Xia Qingmo suddenly shouted.
