1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 155 You should fire me

Ba Tuo was angered by Lu Chen's attitude. He didn't expect a lieutenant officer to dare to talk to him like this. He said angrily:

"Captain Lu Chen, this is how you treat your superiors. Believe it or not, I will expel you from the army."

Lu Chen didn't care about Bato's threats at all. If Bato really fired him from the US military, he might give Bato a banner. Lu Chen obviously didn't believe Bato's words. He looked at Bato suspiciously and asked:

"Can you really kick me out of the army?"

Bato said with a gloomy face: "Are you questioning me? I am a major general, so can't I fire a lieutenant?"

Hearing what Bato said, Lu Chen instantly became interested and asked excitedly:

"So what does it take for you to fire me?"

"I can fire you for your behavior now."

Lu Chen said with some disappointment: "You said you can fire me, but you can't fire me. So why are you wasting your words here?"

"Who said I can't fire you now? I'll call and ask the base to fire you right now."

Batuo said somewhat angrily.

Lu Chen immediately said excitedly: "Then General Batuo, let's make a call now and fire me immediately."

Ba Tuo was furious with Lu Chen. He turned around and went back to the car door. When he was getting in the car, he was stopped by a young man in a suit, who whispered something in his ear. Ba Tuo immediately calmed down. He thought, "I was almost fooled by Lu Chen, so my purpose of coming here this time has failed."

He sighed in his heart, the Chinese are really cunning, he should read the Thirty-Six Stratagems a few more times when he returns. He sorted himself out and came back to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was surprised to see Bato come back. Didn't he want to go back and ask the base to fire me? Why did he come back again? Lu Chen asked Bato in confusion:

"Mr. Barto, why are you back again? Aren't you going back to the base to have me fired?"

Bato ignored Lu Chen's provocation (he thought it was a provocation to him) and said directly to Lu Chen:

"Captain Lu Chen, please hand over all your captives to me. I will take them over now."

Batu was here to rescue someone, which was something Lu Chen had not expected. Lu Chen was very surprised. When did the Red Gate have such a great influence that it could even invite a high-ranking military official like Batu.

Lu Chen thought about it carefully and felt that Bato should not be the reinforcements invited by the Red Gate. If the Red Gate could get in touch with the US military, why would they come to him to buy weapons? Is it because he sells them cheaply? Or to be more extreme, just to disgust me?

Lu Chen didn't quite understand. He looked at Bato and said:

"General Batuo, I think you misunderstood. I didn't capture any prisoners. So I can't hand over any prisoners."

Batu pointed at a group of Red Gate members squatting on the hillside and said, "Aren't those the prisoners you captured?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "General Bato, you are talking about those people. They are not prisoners captured by me. They are prisoners captured by the troops on the hillside."

Ba Tuo said seriously: "Captain Lu Chen, please be serious. I am ordering you, not joking with you."

Lu Chen immediately put away his smile and said to Ba Tuo: "General Ba Tuo, the troops on the hillside are not my subordinates, so those people on the hillside are not my prisoners."

Bato said angrily: "Those troops are not your people, then whose people are they?"

Lu Chen replied: "These people are Chinese troops who were invited by General Green to come here for training."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Barto was stunned. This was not Lu Chen's army, not even the American army. How could Barto take prisoners? The key point was that this army was invited by Green. He didn't even have the power to ask about this army.

At this time, the young man who had just held Batu came over. He smiled and said to Lu Chen:

"Mr. Lu Chen, I know that the troops on the mountain are the guard company of Division Commander Lu Jiaming. They will definitely listen to you. Please ask them to hand over the people to us."

Lu Chen looked at the young man, and then carefully looked at his appearance, thinking that he should be an American. But how did this American know that Wu Jie and his men were his eldest brother's guard company? Did they already investigate Wu Jie and his men? Also, what was the relationship between this young man and the Red Gate, and why did he come to rescue these people?

Lu Chen was now full of doubts. He looked at Ba Tuo, then at the young man in front of him. He asked with some doubt:

"I don't know who you are, sir. Why should I help you and let the troops on the mountain hand the person over to you?"

"You don't need to care who I am, just hand the person over to me."

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "I understand. I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Lu Chen started to leave. The young man quickly blocked Lu Chen's way and yelled at him:

"I asked you to give me the person, but you didn't hear me."

Lu Chen glanced at the young man and said, "Hey, you, you better know your place. Either tell me who your father is, or get out of my way. Don't waste my time here, or you won't be polite to me."

The young man did not expect Lu Chen to treat him in this way. Didn't you see that even Ba Tuo had to listen to me? He said to Lu Chen with a gloomy face and disdain:

"If you don't give me the person today, don't even think about leaving here."

Lu Chen was so angry that he laughed. He didn't know who gave him the courage. You are just two people, and you want to stop me here. Lu Chen turned his head and shouted at the hillside in Chinese:

"Liu Qiang, send some people over to me."

Then Lu Chen said to the young man, "I don't know where you got the confidence to confront me here. If you have the guts, just stand here and don't move."

Soon, Liu Qiang came over with more than a dozen soldiers. Liu Qiang glanced at the people at the scene, and then said to Lu Chen:

"Boss, I've brought everyone to you."

Lu Chen nodded and pointed at the young man and said, "Will you move aside? If you don't, I will start to attack you."

The young man looked at Liu Qiang and the others. They were all carrying guns and looked quite big and strong. Although he didn't believe that anyone would really dare to hit him, if Lu Chen insisted on beating him up, his father probably wouldn't be able to do anything about Lu Chen. At most, Lu Chen would be fined.

He thought about it and decided to give in. He said to Lu Chen:

"Mr. Lu, I am here on behalf of my father, Philippine Governor Carl, to receive those rioters. I would like to express my gratitude for your timely action to suppress these rioters when they were causing trouble."

Lu Chen didn't expect that this young man was the son of the governor. He thought he was from a big family in the United States. Lu Chen thought for a while and said:

"It is absolutely impossible for me to let him go just like that."

The young man said, "I don't know what compensation you want, Mr. Lu."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Well, you should ask the person in charge of the Red Gate to come and talk to me. Or your father can come and talk to me himself."

The young man said, "Mr. Lu, you look down on me and think I can't make the decision."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I just think you can't make the decision."
