Chapter 753: Bowing Head

When Lanse arrived at the naval base with the script, the atmosphere in the base was visibly very good.

This time, General Miles' fleet bombarded a coastal city in Dantela, causing huge losses to the Dantela side and also attracting a part of the troops, laying the foundation for the victory of the second battle.

The commendations from the Ministry of National Defense and the military have already come down.

For General Miles himself, apart from the symbolic "Marshal," a general is basically at the top.

However, his subordinates still have room for promotion, such as his children and nephews, who can continue to be promoted by virtue of military merit.

This is how the mountain-topism of the army appears and grows stronger. If you want to join this feast of dividing military merit, there is only one way, and that is to join General Miles' forces.

However, these have nothing to do with Lanse. His car went directly to the downstairs of the command, and General Miles' nephew came down to meet him.

His face was also full of very natural smiles.

"Mr. Lanse, good morning!"

Lanse also greeted him, "It seems your situation recently is very good."

General Miles' nephew did not deny it, "We have completed the established combat plan given to us by the Ministry of National Defense and the military, and it is over-completed."

"We destroyed two warships of the other side, the fleet is returning, and we will have a perfect vacation!"

Lanse knew what he meant. This means that the soldiers can go to the city to play. I hope they don't mess around.

During the conversation, Lanse was already standing outside General Miles' office. His nephew knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Lanse is here," and then General Miles' voice came from inside.

When his nephew pushed the door open and Lanse stepped in, he heard General Miles' timely laughter, "Haven't seen you for a while, Lanse, did you bring me any good news again?"

Lanse nodded slightly, sat down, crossed his legs, "It can be said to be good news, but it's just in the plan."

He looked at General Miles and didn't continue.

General Miles looked at him somewhat blankly. After the two looked at each other for about seven or eight seconds, he reacted, "Go get the cigar I treasured, it's in my bedside table."

His nephew also understood that this was something not suitable for him to hear.

For Lanse wanting him to leave, he had no resentment, because more people had done so.

He also knew that for these two, he was just a small person.

He wouldn't look down on Lanse just because he was a gang leader. This is a person who can use wisdom to pry Congress!

"I know...", he said and turned to leave. In fact, General Miles' bedroom was next door, and he could go back and forth in at most two minutes.

But he didn't enter after getting the cigar, but stood at the door, waiting for the call.

In the room, General Miles was slightly excited. Lanse's style showed that this plan was extraordinary, and he couldn't wait!

"Can you say it now?"

Lanse nodded, handed the script in his hand to him, "This is the movie I plan to shoot. I need to borrow some naval equipment, including warships."

General Miles didn't understand. He picked up the script and flipped through a few pages at random, looking very carelessly.

Confirming that there was nothing else hidden in it, he put the script on the table and asked, "And then?"

Lanse found it funny. He took out a cigarette and lit it with the general's desktop lighter—

This is a silver lighter with a warship appearance. The base looks like it should be waves, the sea surface.

A warship floats on the sea. As long as you hold the captain's room, the fire will spray out from the gun barrel in front. It is a cleverly set lighter. Some manufacturers always like to do this.

He took a puff of smoke, and then exhaled. A thick smoke rose above the desktop, also between them.

"You must not have read this script carefully!", he took the script back and flipped through a few pages at random, "Let me tell you about its general content..."

He used relatively concise language to tell the plot of the story, and General Miles frowned as he listened.

He couldn't help but interrupt Lanse, "We can't be attacked!"

Lanse looked into his eyes, "We must be attacked!"

General Miles frowned. He looked at Lanse suspiciously, and then took the script back.

This time he read it very carefully.

He saw the middle part, which mentioned that Dantela's warships docked and resupplied in Xiang Yalan Bay, and relied on the Star Islands and the federal warships to play a positional war, causing relatively heavy casualties to the federal fleet.

His brows tightened deeper, but he also understood Lanse's meaning, "You want to exaggerate the threat of Dantela to us, as well as the strategic position of the Star Islands and Xiang Yalan."

"Why?"

He still didn't understand. Of course, this can't blame him. Except for fighting natives and civil wars, the Federation has never expanded or colonized externally, so now the thinking mode in many people's minds is still fixed.

They can't think of these, or they think of these, and then ignore them.

If an honest person is not forced to the limit, he probably won't wave his fist.

Just like a Federation that hasn't awakened the consciousness of invasion, they are still considering that set of capitalism, wanting to obtain more benefits, rather than more direct occupation and plunder.

Lanse took another puff of smoke, "Only when Congress recognizes the importance of Xiang Yalan and the Star Islands can you station troops in these two places!"

General Miles was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted. He stood up, turned around, pulled open a sea chart, and saw Xiang Yalan's position.

His eyes were tightly fixed on that piece, imagining that if they could station troops in Xiang Yalan, what kind of strategic deterrence it would cause to the East Ocean!

Lanse didn't forget to remind, "Don't forget, if you can station troops outside, even if Congress and the Ministry of National Defense have the consciousness to reduce the scale of the army and military spending after the war, they won't move this part of the funds."

General Miles nodded, he sat back, "You are right, I will fully cooperate with you. When will you come to shoot?"

Lanse glanced at the calendar on his watch, starting next month, ending in September, and releasing in October, around the Saint Agriculture Festival.

General Miles hesitated. There are many big scenes here. Is it too late?

"Don't worry about this, it's definitely too late!"

The General thought for a while, and then asked, "What about Congress?"

Lanse tapped on the script, "After the movie is shot and attracts social attention and public opinion, Congress doesn't need anyone to lobby. They will consider these things themselves."

"At that time, I think the biggest possibility is that they will hold small-scale internal hearings to verify the possibility of the Dantela fleet attacking Jincheng, and our military control over the Xiang Yalan area, and the issue of military deterrence to the East Ocean."

"They will definitely ask people from the military and the Ministry of National Defense. You need to go and guide this. I won't interfere."

Lanse also has acquaintances in the military now. He only needs to let people know that this plan comes from him. It doesn't matter who tells them specifically.

General Miles did not refuse, he could handle this matter.

Afterward, the two finalized some plans during the shooting, such as using warships, shooting on warships, and borrowing military camps.

After chatting, he pressed a button on the table, and soon his nephew smiled and pushed the door in, "I looked for a long time before finding..."

A very false but recognized explanation.

The next step is chat time, and by the way, some things that can be said, such as borrowing the naval base and warships to shoot, were revealed to his nephew. As for the others, nothing was said.

Lanse paid great attention to this matter, and the director also knew very well how much Lanse valued this matter, so he soon found several directors.

These directors were also very interested in the million-level investment. After reading the script, they talked about their own ideas with Lanse separately. This is an interview.

Among these people, Lanse chose a director whose ideas were more consistent with his, wanting to promote the cruel side of war, not romance and beauty.

The director was in place, and the rest of the things became simple. He had his own photographer, a heroine, and after choosing a male lead who was a bit tough, the others were relatively casual.

For example, the villains in the movie, they chose some Dantela immigrants, as well as Xiang Yalan people, to play the Xiang Yalan running dogs who assisted the Dantela fleet in attacking Jincheng.

Soon this highly anticipated movie started shooting, and Lanse also participated as a producer, putting forward many constructive suggestions.

For example, making more models to restore the large-scale naval battle through special shooting methods, and using some thin gauze to simulate clouds, etc.

In the era without computer special effects, they could only use these methods that looked backward but were actually very brilliant in this era to shoot, including various real "editing."

Until the second half of May, the Marcus family and the Thorn Gang came to visit together. They couldn't hold on anymore.

Under Lanse's sufficiently sincere promotion, the prohibition bureau, state police, and hazardous materials management bureaus in various places, as well as the town supervisors, were frantically sweeping private brewing and smuggling, so that in many places, you couldn't find a drop of liquor in the bars!

But there is one exception, and that is those bars that get goods from Lanse. They still have liquor for sale, and no one is looking for their trouble.

If the people in those bars and the people who brew liquor don't know what happened by this time, then it's too stupid.

Seeing Lanse's control over this matter, the remaining two major gangs in the state finally compromised. ===== CHAPTER 754 =====
