Chapter 118
"Damn existence X, if there really is a god, how can a bastard like this who disregards human life be worthy of the title of god!"
Tiana was very angry.
Although she knew in her heart that war in this world was unavoidable, she did not expect that this existence X would let those stupid top leaders of the Allied United Nations take the initiative to start a war at this time in order to make her surrender.
Don't the politicians of the Allied United Nations have any idea of the combat effectiveness of their own army? Even if they have the support of the United Nations and the Republic, there is no need to actively invade the Empire, right?
Don’t these stupid politicians know that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot? ??? ???
However, no matter how Tiana cursed, the war had already begun at this moment.
Then, her goal is to survive the war and prove to that existence X that my destiny is controlled by myself, not by you so-called gods!
Just as Tiana was daydreaming, a radio call brought her back to consciousness.
"This is Noah's airborne command post, calling Warrant Officer Tiana."
"Tiana received, please give instructions, over."
"Warrant Officer Tiana, according to the order from your superiors, your field training has been cancelled. You are now promoted to second lieutenant, codenamed devil01. Devil01, the command post orders you to go to Noah 02 area to carry out the artillery guidance mission and provide guidance for the ground artillery units to bombard the invading Allied forces. Over."
"Got it. I'll complete the mission. Over."
The mission came so quickly. I didn't expect that the war would break out as soon as it was announced. Even a trainee like me was conscripted.
Tiana complained in her heart as she flew quickly towards the observation point.
A minute later, Tiana arrived at the designated location.
Tiana then took out a telescope and began to observe whether there were any Allied forces on the ground around her.
Soon, she discovered a long gray-blue snake on the ground in the distance, moving towards her in the jungle.
"Noah Command Post, devil01 reports that the enemy's traces have been found, coordinates xx, xx, over"
"Got it. I'll pass it on to the artillery unit. Please pay attention to where the test shells land and do a good job of guiding them. Over."
"Received, over."
Soon, the artillery unit received the artillery coordinates from the command post, and then fired a test shell at the coordinates as usual.
The shells whizzed past Tiana's head, and a person without any courage might be frightened in such a situation.
It is said that the skills of an artillery guide are low, but not everyone has the courage to face the incoming bombs from behind!
After seeing the test shells fall into the enemy's ranks through the telescope, Tiana reported:
"Calling Noah Command, this is devil01, the bombardment coordinates are correct, you can start bombardment coverage, over."
"Understood. I'll pass it on. Devil01, please stay here and wait for the next order from the command post. Over."
"Received, over."
Soon, hundreds of shells whizzed past Tiana. In order to avoid being accidentally hit by her own shells, Tiana lowered her flying altitude, found a safe position, and observed the bombing of the enemy.
But what made Tiana speechless was that according to the regulations, shouldn’t one look for shelter or craters as soon as possible when attacked by artillery shells?
But why are these soldiers just running around like frightened quails? There is no one coming forward to command such a large army.
"Are these people really here to fight? Or do they think the war can be ended by eating hot pot and singing songs?" Tiana complained.
After taking a few glances, Tiana lost interest in watching further.
What's the point of watching a fight where the person is beaten without any chance to fight back?
Tiana didn't have to wait too long before the radio call came again, but it seemed to be due to electromagnetic interference from the enemy, and the communication signal was a little poor.
"This is the command post. Reporting, according to the magic irradiation reaction, the enemy has entered. Devil01, please go to investigate and report the situation immediately. Over."
"This is devil01. Communications are being disrupted. Command is incomplete. Please report again. Repeat. Please report again. Over."
The commands were repeated several times, but they were somewhat intermittent.
Although the order was incomplete, Tiana had already guessed the general content. It was just that they wanted her to go alone to investigate the situation of the invading magic troops from the opposite side.
But the problem is, even if the invading team is a magic team, there are still five of them, but here she is the only one, okay? !
Isn't this going to die!
Tiana was somewhat tempted to consider whether she should use the excuse that the order was not clear as to whether to go or not.
But before she could make a decision, the enemy's magic bullet made the decision for her.
-
Speaking of which, Tiana was also unlucky. The two magic teams were originally only responsible for detecting the enemy's firepower situation, but after seeing their own troops being bombarded by enemy artillery fire, the two teams received orders from their superiors to eliminate the opposite artillery positions.
Although the magic soldiers have strong attack power and the firepower of one person can match that of an entire squad, this does not mean that 10 of them can take down the artillery positions of an entire front. Do they really think that the enemy has no strategy to prevent the magic soldiers' surprise attacks?
But they had no choice but to follow orders. Soon, the commander of the two teams, Captain Ancent Su, found a breakthrough.
"Since it is not feasible to raid the enemy's artillery position, we might as well hunt down the enemy's artillery guide. As long as we kill the enemy, we can make the enemy's artillery unit lose an eye, which can also buy time for our army to reorganize its formation."
"The captain is wise."
Captain Su's order was recognized by others. If they couldn't defeat the artillery unit, could they not deal with the artillery guide?
It was because of this that Tiana was found by the other party before she had the chance to go and investigate.
But, this also counts as completing the reconnaissance mission to some extent, doesn't it?
What the hell!!!
Tiana roared in her heart, I am just an artillery commander, how could I be targeted by 10 magic soldiers? Do you have so many magic soldiers in the Alliance Army that you can't use them all? !
Fortunately, Tiana reacted in time and avoided several incoming magic bullets.
After seeing the number of enemies clearly, Tiana turned around and ran without thinking.
Are you kidding? One against ten, do you think this is a movie?
At this moment, Tiana had only one thought in her mind: run, run quickly, and fly as fast as possible.
During the retreat, Tiana reported to the command post according to the procedure.
"This is devil01. I have detected the enemy's magic force. There are at least 10 of them invading. They have already met me. Requesting support! Requesting support!"
"This is Noah's command post, devil01. Our response team will be able to stop you in 10 minutes. Please carry out the delaying combat mission and make sure to hold the enemy back."
"Hold them? There are 10 people on the other side. No, I can't do that. I request to retreat, I request to retreat!"
Tiana yelled into the radio.
"Request rejected, devil01, please execute the order, execute the order!"
Damn it, you are forcing me to die, right?!
Ten minutes? That’s enough time for me to eat a bowl of instant noodles and pack up the leftovers!
X exists, this is what you want, right? !
Now the order has been issued. If you disobey the order and choose to escape, even if you succeed in escaping, you will be treated as a deserter and sentenced to death by the military court; if you execute the order, you will also die!
Looking at the enemy troops chasing behind her, Tiana suddenly laughed like crazy.
"Haha, damn existence X, do you think I will surrender to you like this? Dream on! Even if I die in battle, I will never beg for mercy from you." Then Tiana threw away the radio backpack on her body to lighten the burden, then turned around and resolutely rushed towards the opposite magic army.
Since there is no way to retreat, let’s fight. It is not certain who will live and who will die!
This is how domestic cola companies played it back then. Pepsi and Coca-Cola are both on the same page in expanding the market.
Their strategy is very clear: they are united externally and fight each other internally against their enemies. How to occupy a large market share after opening up the market depends on their own ability.
After entering China, due to the limitation of raw materials and production capacity, Coca-Cola was not widely available in the country, but some people copied Coca-Cola products, which allowed many people with no money to taste the taste of Coca-Cola.
So, when they have money, or when the price advantage of the copycat companies no longer exists, will they choose the genuine Coke or the copycat Coke?
This may not be obvious, but even if some cola is sold very cheaply now, very few people will buy it if it is not Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Because in people's impression, the authentic brands of cola are Pepsi and Coca-Cola.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to challenge the two companies in the cola beverage industry, because people believe deep down that apart from these two types of cola, the rest of the colas are copies.
In this case, even if you get the so-called Coke formula, what can you do?
It's not just the Coca-Cola company that does this; coffee, in particular, is also a beverage that Nestlé does this.
After all, there is no natural habit of drinking coffee in China, so if you want to promote Nestle coffee in China, in addition to advertising and establishing an urban style, the most important thing is to let more people drink this beverage.
Only by cultivating the drinking habit can coffee open up the domestic market.
Tang Longhui’s approach is based on the making of these two beverages.
If you don’t have the habit of drinking milk tea, no problem, I will help you establish it. Isn’t it free in the early stage?
Wang Hui approved 5000 million yuan for advertising to Zhang Wenlong. Of the 5000 million yuan, 3000 million yuan was used for advertising on TV stations, newspapers and even in movies, and the remaining 2000 million yuan could be used for free.
A concert costs at most 50 yuan. So your current funds can support 40 concerts.
There are at most two concerts in one province, so these 40 concerts are enough to cover most of the economically powerful provinces in the country.
Is it worth spending 20 million to open up the milk tea market and let Chinese people establish the habit of drinking milk tea? It is worth it. It is worth it.
Don't forget the milk tea shops in the market. The business value has reached more than 10 billion, and there are many with billions.
There are a lot of well-known brands of milk tea shops. The fact that they can still have such high sales even when so many brand stores are squeezing each other is enough to show the potential of the milk tea market.
Because Aaron Kwok endorsed Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, his fame grew further in China.
Although many people have never heard his songs, the image printed on the Xiangpiaopiao milk tea screen makes many people interested in him.
Although Aaron Kwok has taken a lot of the credit for this wave of popularity, Tang Long knows how popular Aaron Kwok will be in the future.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Aaron Kwok's first concert in mainland China officially began.
The stadium, which can accommodate 3 people, was packed, and many fans who had not bought tickets were still unwilling to leave.
Xiangpiaopiao Milk Tea also kept its promise and distributed Xiangpiaopiao Milk Tea for free to everyone outside the stadium.
Pour a cup of boiling water into the Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, wait for a few minutes, and the milk tea is ready.
Smelling the fragrant milk tea, people felt better even if they didn't buy tickets to Aaron Kwok's concert.
Many people come here just to drink free milk tea.
But it doesn't matter. Tang Longhui and Zhang Wenlong hope that more people will come to take advantage of them.
Even if only one out of ten people is willing to buy Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, they will still make a profit.
The cost for one person is only 5 cents, and for ten people it is only five dollars, which is much lower than the cost that those Internet companies in the future market will spend to earn traffic and conversion rates.
Aaron Kwok's concert was very successful, with warm cheers coming from the stadium from time to time.
When the atmosphere was very lively, Aaron Kwok also advertised for Xiangpiaopiao milk tea as agreed.
"Everyone, have you all got your Xiangpiaopiao milk tea?"
"got it!"
"To be honest, this is the first time I have received such a huge endorsement contract since I came to the mainland. In fact, I didn't want to accept it at first, but after I tried Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, I changed my mind. This milk tea is really delicious. And it is easy to carry. You can take the milk tea home and share it with your family. In the end, I hope everyone can support this milk tea. Thank you."
After the commercial was played, the concert continued.
But the impact has not stopped.
As the concert ended, those who took their milk tea home would share it with their families. One person told ten people, ten told a hundred people, and this brought about a chain effect.
There are two flavors of milk tea distributed this time, taro flavor and wheat flavor.
These two flavors can be said to be classics among classics in the past.
Tang Jianguo had previously discussed with Tang Longhui whether to expand the product range.
However, Tang Longhui believes that in the early stages of a product, one should not pursue too many product types, but rather focus on the flagship products to leave a deep impression on people at the first opportunity.
Zhou Ru Kangshifu Braised Beef Noodles. This is the most classic series. It is with this series of Kangshou instant noodles that it has entered the public's field of vision, and later added various flavors, which is product diversification.
There is no need to disperse our efforts now, so just focus on these two flavors.
The effect was obvious. The day after the concert, Xiangpiaopiao milk tea was sold out in the entire city.
This is Zhang Wenlong. He discussed with the local agent in advance and prepared 10 cups of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea in advance.
Such a large quantity was sold out within one day.
Xiangpiaopiao milk tea can be found everywhere in the streets and offices.
Xiao Qian is a third-grade Chinese teacher. After a class, he returned to his office exhausted and sat upright in his chair.
Xiao Qian has just graduated and has not mastered the skills to communicate with students, so he has a hard time teaching in class.
It’s not that primary school Chinese is very difficult, but everyone knows that children of this age are the most restless, and it takes a lot of brain cells to get them to listen to the class.
At this moment, Xiao Qian, who is physically and mentally exhausted, just wants to eat some sweets to relieve his fatigue.
The Xiangpiaopiao milk tea he bought from a small shop on his way to work came in handy.
I opened the Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, tore off one ounce of ingredients and put it into the cup. Then I took the thermos in the office and poured the hot water into it, stirred it evenly, and waited. Five minutes later, a cup of steaming hot milk tea was ready.
