Everything that followed became very simple.
Since the ship had arrived, it was natural to load the supplies onto the ship. When everyone arrived at the place where the supplies were stored, they were all stunned by the piles of weapons and equipment in front of them.
"This, this is what the Germans left behind..."
Wang Huiqi opened his mouth in astonishment. The guns, tanks and various vehicles all over the ground were beyond their imagination. As for Zhao Xiyong, the major general of the Ordnance Department who had gone overseas to purchase military equipment, he was completely confused.
He had never thought that there would be so many arms.
"Zhao, Commander Zhao, this, at least 400,000 or 500,000 troops must be equipped..."
"Forty divisions!"
Zhao Xiyong said directly.
"Three thousand two hundred rifles for a division, hundreds of thousands of rifles, at least forty divisions..."
When he finished speaking, George on the side said.
"That's more than 100,000 K98s, and almost 200,000 Italian Carcano rifles, but the quality of Italian products is average, and the caliber is not compatible with domestic ones, so I didn't take it into consideration..."
Carcano rifles, although of average quality, will be famous in the future-it once made Kennedy's mind open.
"What? There are still 200,000 Italian rifles. If there are, we also want them..."
George shook his head and said without waiting for Zhao Xiyong to finish.
"It's a waste of transportation capacity. Now the Allies have landed in France. They will soon liberate the whole of France. The most important thing for the company is to enter the European continent, and..."
George looked at the young people wearing expeditionary style uniforms without ranks and said.
"How many of them can speak English and how many can speak German? These need to be counted. After all, we are going to the European continent to hunt for treasure next."
Seeing that Zhao Xiyong didn't seem to understand, George patted him on the shoulder and said.
"General Zhao, you will be employees of the company from now on. We have to consider the cost-effectiveness. Transporting these Italian guns of average quality requires a lot of transportation capacity. It will take more than a month to go back and forth. In more than a month, France may be liberated. There are millions of German troops there, and..."
After a pause, George smiled.
"There are still four or five thousand cannons waiting for us to receive them..."
Four or five thousand cannons...
In an instant, everyone was stunned. People couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have four or five thousand cannons lined up together. Looking at the astonished expressions of the crowd, George seemed quite calm. Four or five thousand cannons were a lot, but how many could survive the fierce raid of the Allied forces?
However, these were no longer what George considered. The most important thing was... his employees were here.
Five thousand employees!
From the day they arrived in North Africa, these people were no longer soldiers, but employees of the North Borneo Company.
After all, Zhenhua Company signed a contract with the Pentagon as an "enemy weapons collection contractor" to undertake the centralized management, repair and transportation of military seized materials, so the task force must be Zhenhua Company employees.
This is also the reason why "civilians" must be sent from China. In fact, they are not civilians at all, they are all soldiers who have been trained for several months. The only difference is that they are not organized - there are not many senior officers, and the highest-ranking one is a colonel deputy commander.
"Everyone must sign an employment contract."
Xu Chengjie, who speaks stiff Mandarin, is an old employee of the company. He will do the same as others, or handle the entry procedures for these new employees.
"After signing the contract, you are company employees."
"According to the agreement with the Americans, only company employees can enter the war zone..."
From a soldier to a company employee, it is just a matter of filling out a form. They have been prepared for all this, because when they left China, they were no longer soldiers.
"Huiqi, I remember you know German, right?"
Looking at the foreign language proficiency item on the form, Zhang Tingpeng turned his head and shouted.
"I only know a little bit, not proficient, not as good as English."
Wang Huiqi thought about it, and still wrote down English and then German.
As for the university major, he carefully filled in the political science and law major of Tsinghua University. Zhang Tingpeng filled in the Department of Chemistry of Jiaotong University. As for Zhang Lianzhai, he graduated from the Department of Physics of Central University.
What is the treasure?
These young people are the real treasure.
One thousand four hundred and sixty-three college students, one thousand six hundred and twenty-five junior college students...
Looking through the information in his hand, George's heart couldn't help but speed up a little. There was no way, so many talents came at once, it was really a bit unbearable.
"In fact, if we just want to collect weapons, we don't need so many people. We can arrange a group of people to go to American schools or companies for further study. Well, it's normal for companies to train employees..."
In fact, in history, next year, China will send a large number of technical interns to the United States according to the economic and technical cooperation agreement. Among them, Westinghouse alone will train nearly 100 technical talents for China. Westinghouse training has cultivated the first generation of design, manufacturing and management talents for China's motor industry, and created a group of technical and management elites for China's motor engineering. The core leadership talents of the first batch of domestic thermal power equipment, domestic hydropower equipment, domestic power transmission and transformation equipment, and the design and construction of power industry equipment factories in New China mainly come from this group of technicians.
Now we can negotiate with those companies and conduct technical cooperation.
It's a bit of a waste of talent for these talents to collect weapons on the battlefield! Alas, those people in China are all talents when they are greedy, but they don't know how to use real talents.
But this has not been going on for a day or two, but it's just right. If you don't use it, we can just pick up the leak!
Complaining about the lack of talent in China, George picked up the phone and communicated his ideas with the Human Resources Department, asking them to group these talents by subject and education level, and then set corresponding salary standards according to their job levels.
If you want to retain talent, the first step is not to draw the cake, but to eat the cake. Only tangible benefits can truly retain talent.
The experience of being a leek made George very clear about what ordinary people need, and naturally he knew what to give them.
