Before leaving Chicago, Li Zitao made a special trip back to District 22 to meet with Mike, who was busy walking around.

Regarding the location of the laboratory, Li Zitao also decided to arrange it near Santa Barbara, in a valley 80 miles away from Asa Ranch, where there is still a piece of wasteland on Li's property.

"Recruitment in the laboratory must be more comprehensive, and experts in chemistry, medicine, and biology must be involved. If you want to do something, do your best.

If I remember correctly, there was a company called Pfizer in New York that acquired it."

The emphasis on chemists in the medical field also starts with surgical disinfection and the birth of aspirin, the hero of which was a chemist from Bayer Pharmaceuticals in country D.

After hearing about Pfizer, people who know it may already know that what Li Zitao wants to get is the Big Blue Pill.

Swallowing a pill of Viagra into his stomach, he transformed into Teddy and dared to talk to the sky.

Pfizer also relied on this little blue pill to become a giant in the global pharmaceutical field. At its peak, people around the world used 6 Ivanco every second.

"I know this company, but because it provided a large amount of drugs to the army during World War I, its current development is pretty good, and it doesn't look like it's short of money."

Hearing Mike's answer, Li Zitao was a little surprised. It seemed that he had already entered the role: "Ask a think tank to help you solve it. What I want is results, not complaints!"

"..."

"Are you still thinking about that?" When he found that Li Zitao was absent-minded as soon as he got on the plane, West wanted to enlighten him a few more words.

"No, that matter is over." Li Zitao came back to his senses and said calmly.

"That's it, Charlie." West said happily: "Even God is not omnipotent. Failures and blows are not terrible. They can make people stronger."

West recalled the time when World War I ended, the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated, and the glory of Habsburg came to an end.

At that time, every family member fell into pain, despair and death wish. There were many who could not accept this reality and chose to end their lives.

Including West, he also thought about slit his throat with a sword and be buried in the soil with the glorious history.

Thinking about it now, everything doesn't seem so terrible.

Although due to complex political and world structures, possible revenge from the Holy Empire's former enemies, and other reasons, the Habsburgs were hidden in the marketplace and disappeared from the public eye.

But they are still guests of the royal families of various countries, and their complex network of relationships with European aristocrats and married families still exists.

Even if they become impoverished, they can once again reach the pinnacle of power.

What's more, the facts are not that bad. During the six hundred and thirty-six years of Habsburg's rule, the wealth accumulated was incalculable.

West has only a small part of it in his hands.

There are more secret treasures in the hands of various branches. Of course, the family's greatest wealth has been divided up by the victorious countries.

Compared with the disintegration of the huge empire, the small hardships Li Zitao is facing now seem to him like children's play.

Moreover, he still owns a huge industry and lives a life that is envied by countless people. But it is just a failure. Who can have smooth sailing?

"I've been curious about a question." Li Zitao suddenly said, looking at West with a playful and playful look, and he knew at a glance that it was not a good thing.

"Hold it in." West leaned back, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The question Li Zitao is curious about is who is West?

After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there should be only two female archduchess left in the royal family. Could it be another illegitimate child trick?

Seeing that West didn't answer what he meant, Li Zitao didn't ask for trouble and began to summarize the main points of this time.

Yes, Li Zitao admitted that he was careless.

He forgot that to the real predator, he was just a small shark running rampant in a small pond. He looked ferocious, but in fact, a big fish could swallow him.

The biggest reason why he was ostracized this time was his lack of strength. To put it simply, the bosses felt that Li Zitao was not qualified to be on an equal footing with them, so they shared the food from the same bowl.

What about your creativity??

Let alone the 1930s when the law was imperfect and chaotic, even in the 21st century in the previous life, were there still few examples of founders being kicked out?

"Sure enough, if you add water to the salted fish, you will be rewarded in this world." Li Zitao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Since time travel, a series of successes have made him a little lost. Although he kept warning himself to play steadily, the vigilance and sense of urgency in his heart gradually disappeared.

This time should be regarded as a lesson, and according to Elan, he will also receive some compensation afterwards.

This kind of compensation is not a tangible asset, but some intangible impact that cannot be seen.

As for what aspects will be involved, Li Zitao doesn't know yet, and it will take time to prove it.

The plane stopped at Los Angeles Airport, and naturally it was Ava who came to pick her up.

After not seeing her for a while, she became even more radiant. Just standing there attracted the attention of all the men in the room.

No one can ignore the majesty of f. If there is such a thing, he is either a eunuch or a gay.

"Boss, where should we go first?" Ava asked after getting in the car.

"Go to the branch first and send West back to the manor." Li Zitao ordered.

Ava spoke to the bodyguard outside the car, and the car drove smoothly out of the airport. When it reached a fork in the road, it divided into two teams and headed in different directions.

"Is Hans okay?" Li Zitao asked while driving on an unfamiliar road, looking at the desolate and messy houses on both sides of the road.

"Instructor Hans is already at work, and as recruitment progresses, the branch is also actively preparing."

What to prepare for, of course, is the transfer of the training camp in Area 22.

In the future, the headquarters will be more responsible for business, recruitment, selection, preliminary training, etc.

Only students who have passed the selection and scored B-level or above will have the opportunity to arrive at the branch's elite training camp.

From now on, Andre will be in charge of the training camp in District 22, Wang Dagou will be in charge of coaching and sitting in Chicago, and George will be in charge of headquarters operations.

Hans was the first minister of External Affairs and the top person in charge of the Los Angeles branch.

The car drove into an open space that was overgrown with weeds and looked like a wilderness. Li Zitao finally saw the construction site under construction.

"Boss." Knowing that Li Zitao was coming, Hans calculated the time and waited outside the construction site.

Don't think that people abroad are not so sophisticated, flattering people, and ranking based on seniority are equally popular here, but the way they are expressed and expressed is different.

The differentiated titles of senior senator and senator are best reflected in the division of power in their hands.

"How's the progress?" After getting out of the car, Li Zitao first looked around.

This place is indeed one of the most chaotic places in Chicago. Just before he got off the bus, he seemed to hear the sound of machine gun fire not far away.

Random shooting with machine guns in broad daylight, is this something that should happen in a city?

"Everything went smoothly. The environment here is a bit complicated. We set up a temporary sandcastle around the training camp to prevent anyone from getting in."

Hans did not exaggerate, but downplayed the complex situation here.

It was only his third day here, but in such a short time, he deeply felt the enthusiasm of the people of Los Angeles.

Hans just experienced the big scene of more than a dozen Thomson pointing at his head yesterday.

If he hadn't brought some people with him and more than 50 new Chicago typewriters had surrounded the opponent, his head would have been turned into pulp.

Before coming here, I heard that the environment here was complicated, but Hans didn't take it seriously. "How complicated can it be? How can it be more terrifying than the battlefield?"

After seeing and learning for himself, Hans immediately ordered sand castles to be built around the area. The 200 bodyguards who arrived earlier were divided into four shifts and patrolled 24 hours a day.

He didn't want to be knocked into the barracks in the middle of the night while sleeping and his head was smashed.

"Safety is the priority in everything. Follow-up personnel will arrive soon, and weapons and ammunition will remain sufficient. We are a security company and have the qualifications to be legally armed."

That's right, when I first applied for the company, I specifically noted the item about weapons and equipment, but no one took it seriously at all.

Isn’t it just equipped with weapons?

There were a few unarmed people walking around the streets. Those Texas guys, when they rode into the city, they dared to hang several shotguns blatantly on their horses.

"We purchased Thompson's latest product, m1928a1, and its performance is extremely good..."

After listening to Hans' introduction, Li Zitao became interested. He asked a bodyguard for a new Chicago typewriter hanging on his chest, and walked towards the shooting range with great interest.

Although there is no shadow of the branch yet, the training ground and barracks have been laid out.

It includes one hundred pure iron wooden stakes, large irregular diamond-shaped iron blocks, obstacle areas for training physical fitness and reaction, a shooting range, and a 'practical combat area' that simulates streets.

"Tatata..." As soon as he arrived at the deserted shooting range, Li Zitao clicked the trigger. First, he shot at the target from a long distance, and then he began to move quickly, playing a breakthrough attack.

Li Zitao was seen holding a submachine gun in his hand, and his figure was like a butterfly in a flower, rushing forward from left to right.

Whenever the muzzle is raised, a crater will appear in the center of the steel bullseye.

The dazzling performance left Hans dumbfounded and Ava's mouth dry.

Accompanied by the faint smell of gunpowder smoke, Li Zitao walked back with satisfaction, threw the gun to the previous bodyguard and said: "The rate of fire is much faster than before, and the recoil is greater."

"But relying on the pressure and weight of the gun butt, the stability has become stronger, but the accuracy of long-range shooting is still too poor."

Li Zitao didn't know much about guns, but he had a strong body.

He was able to make such judgments based on his physical reactions when using weapons, and no one else had this ability.

Does this count as a gift from God?

If you go bankrupt one day, will being a weapons reviewer be enough to support your family?

After venting his anger and smelling the pungent smell of gunpowder, Li Zitao finally let out the breath he was holding in his heart.

Refreshing and comfortable!

"Boss, can you please stop hitting people in person next time?" I thought he was only losing with fists and kicks, but now I saw that it was an all-round crushing, and Hans was desperate again.

"I was born with it, there is no way I can save it in this life." Li Zitao rubbed his chin and said narcissistically.

After the joke, the two circled the training ground side by side, discussing the development of the branch.

"By the way, after the branch is built, don't we want to set up our own ordnance factory? Is the Thompson Ordnance Factory worth acquiring?"
Chapter completed!
