Chapter 160: Tour Show
"The conditions here are too simple." The topic of the contest was diverted by Li Zitao, so he turned the chapter here, so as not to make these soldiers with a sense of honor look ugly.
After visiting the barracks and living facilities of the National Guard Division, Li Zitao frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "They are defenders of the United States, how can they live in such a place."
"Jessie, contact Bechtel after you go back and ask them to send someone to repair this place, over there..."
Li Zitao pointed to the northwest corner of the training ground and said: "Build a leisure club, add some leisure facilities in it, build a gym over there,
There is also the kitchen here, all overturned and rebuilt. The layout of the barracks is in accordance with SHIELD standards. Lieutenant Colonel Marshall, I believe you don't mind, right? "
"……"do you mind? There is a feeling of being overstepped by others.
But in all fairness, Michelle is more grateful for being able to provide a good environment for the soldiers under his command. I believe that none of the chief officers will object.
What's more, it wasn't my own money that was spent.
"Li, thank you very much for your contribution to the cause of national security." At noon, Li Zitao and Marshall had lunch in a small town 30 miles away from the station.
"As a citizen of the United States, this is my responsibility." Li Zitao always needs to emphasize this point.
It's not because he has a 'white' heart, but because he has suffered a lot in terms of skin color.
"Of course, no one will deny this." Michelle was obviously taken aback for a while, and then he reacted, and said with his eyes flickering.
He has to admit that ever since he met Li Zitao, he has been treating Li Zitao as an 'outsider' rather than a citizen of the United States.
If it wasn't for his reminder, maybe he would never remember this 'identity. '
"Lieutenant Colonel, you have been with General Pershing for many years, why are you being..." Li Zitao hesitated to speak, he believed that Marshall understood what he meant.
"Li, crowding out is everywhere, even I can't avoid it." Marshall took over the conversation with a blank expression.
There is nothing to hide about this matter. Anyone who knows the inside story is well aware of Marshall's current situation.
He was ostracized from within the military. They thought Marshall was too rigid, stubborn, inflexible, and difficult to fit in with others.
Otherwise, with his resume, how could he still be a lieutenant colonel.
Speaking of this, Marshall also felt regret and loss in his heart, but he was not a sentimental person.
Maybe in a few years, he will choose to retire and live a peaceful life.
"Didn't General Pershing want to help you?" Li Zitao was curious.
Pershing is a living super general, except for the founding 6-star general, another general who has won a unique military rank.
With his prestige in the army, even the Washington government should pay attention to it.
"I declined." Marshall's complexion was like a face that would never change. From the beginning of the conversation to the end of the farewell, it was an old-fashioned poker face.
No wonder others didn't like this colleague.
"Boss, do you want to help him?" Monk came up to him and asked after watching the car take Michelle away.
"No, he won't accept it." Li Zitao liked him quite a bit.
Because Michelle is very similar to the soldier he imagined, a bit of a tough guy, if he can be stronger, it will be more similar.
In his previous life, Li Zitao didn't pay much attention to the military, but he only had a heart to join the army. He really yearned for a military career.
It's a pity that I missed the conscription period both times due to chance, and when I went back later, I was rejected because of my poor eyesight.
Since then, Li Zitao has never thought about it again, because his age is beyond the standard.
"The transformation of the National Guard Division should be done as soon as possible. If there are not enough manpower, the Qinghua Building will be temporarily suspended." It will take a long time to build the Qinghua Building for five months.
The demand for the building is not strong, but the prestige is imminent, which is more important at a glance.
"Jessie, how is the charity work going on?" Li Zitao is going to make frequent appearances in recent days.
He needs to remind those who enjoy what is there to remember who brought it.
"Public libraries in various places are under construction, 220 material distribution points have started normal operation, and the selection of lucky burgers in the Golden Arches has ended."
"Contact the reporter and release the news. Starting tomorrow, I will inspect the distribution points of supplies in various places. Remember to plan the route."
There are more than 40 material distribution points in IL alone. The first thing to do is to plan the route, and then "accidentally" leak it out, and reporters flock to it.
Perfect!
At the beginning of August, Li Zitao started a tour performance, and first spent 4 days communicating with the public in front of 18 material distribution points in IL.
Taste the food at the distribution point in person, check the living, environment, safety and other conditions of the temporary shelter, and donate a batch of warm blankets and mattresses.
"To ensure the freshness of the food at all times, the sojourners must investigate their family and income. We must not allow people with ulterior motives to occupy the interests that should belong to the poor,
If anyone gets involved, you are welcome to call the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce's report number. "
clatter——
There was a burst of loud cheers, the poor people went crazy with joy, and the reporters went crazy with joy.
There is no shortage of people who take advantage of the small advantage. They obviously have a job and a house, but there are not a few people who let their families go to relief stations and shelters to receive food and cold supplies.
Regarding this point, Li Zitao knows that it is impossible to completely eliminate it. For example, the volunteers who work here for free, their families are in the shelter for basic necessities.
For such a situation, Li Zitao chose to turn a blind eye.
Just treat it as an alternative compensation to them and pay them wages!
Following him, he went to Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, and Missouri to inspect the distribution of materials in various places.
The daily consumption of material distribution points, various services provided, and monthly expenses frequently appear in major newspapers.
Even the gossip channels of radio stations in various states began to report on Li Zitao's big show.
There are 220 material distribution points in 35 major states. The monthly basic expenditure is 700,000 US dollars, which is nearly 10 million US dollars a year.
"I don't think there is a more benevolent rich man in America than him. As a citizen of the United States, I am really ashamed of those racists..."
"America is a diverse and free country. Racial discrimination should not appear here. Those greedy vampires should go to hell."
"I love the Chinese, they are sincere, enthusiastic, willing to help everyone, and work hard, let those fools with ulterior motives die!"
"Li, Li, are you listening? I love you, our whole family loves you, do you hear me?"
"My great-great-great-grandfather was the first person to set foot on this land. My family has witnessed the birth and growth of America.
If you let them know what happened today, I think they will pick up the shotgun and fuck your ass..."
