"I...I..." Patrice looked ashamed and didn't know what to say. Anyway, he remembered how proud he was when he made the promise to Allen during the meeting, and then thought about the present moment.

…

Alan was so angry that he felt a pain in his liver. He lit a cigarette while breathing heavily. He had never expected this situation.

Who would have thought that the man who wanted to make an anti-war movie with good intentions by using the Canadian theme would be ignored by the party he sympathized with.

It seems like Canadians are tough and loyal to the Queen.

But if you are really so loyal, why don't you let the Queen restore the old tradition and send a governor from Great Britain?

He is really a double-faced person.

Now... Alan won't take this one million pounds. Whoever wants it can take it.

And I guess it’s not possible to shoot in Canada.

but……

Without you, Canada, I'll have to eat hairy pigs?!

At worst we can just shoot in Wales, who cares about you? !

I have decided to make the movie, but I have to change the story of the movie.

Movies can be considered a kind of art. Art comes from life but is higher than life. Allen is now preparing to transform this movie from restoring reality to being higher than life.

Um……

It’s good to have your own screenwriter, to change the script!

…

After putting out the cigarette, Alan took a moment to relax, looking at Patrice who was sitting there obediently. Cameron was smart and let Patrice do it by himself. He didn't even dare to follow.

But there was no point in arguing with Patrice about this kind of thing.

Alan sighed and said, "What about the rest? Have you ordered the props?"

"No……"

Although somewhat reluctant, Patrice still shrank his neck and whispered back.

A man in his fifties or sixties, he looked at Alan with his head shrunk like a little kid who had made a mistake.

"You haven't even finished the props issue?!"

Alan was really angry this time. He asked me to do two things but he didn't do either of them. Isn't he a waste?

"No, no... Master, please listen to my explanation. It's not that I didn't do it well. I just encountered a little bit of trouble."

Patrice waved her hands in panic and hurried to explain to Alan about the props.

…

After the setback in Ottawa, Patrice took Cameron with him and flew directly to Los Angeles to find old Carl who was in charge of the situation there.

Then he stated his purpose and planned to ask old Carl to help him find a few strong prop companies in Hollywood to customize a batch of German military uniforms, planes, tanks and so on.

But at this time, the negotiations with the prop company had almost been completed, but suddenly something unexpected happened.

At the dinner that day, the deal was almost done. Patrice was happy, and Old Carl was happy too, so he called a few people to have dinner together, and then he invited the small gang family supported by Old Carl, the family that dealt in gasoline.

Then a few grown men talked about this matter at the dinner table after drinking.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

In order to thank old Carl for giving him a new life, the new head of the family has always wanted to repay old Carl, his nominal uncle.

Then I just happened to hear the news.

Their family has military connections, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get cheap gasoline. The military's connections are sometimes very magical, and they can get a lot of unexpected things.

The U.S. military had troops stationed in Germany and looted a large amount of supplies from Germany. Some of these things were very useful, so of course they were brought back to the United States, but some of them were useless and a pity to throw away, so they were just left gathering dust in warehouses in Germany.

For example, a large number of real German military uniforms.

There are also authentic German tanks and planes.

These things are old-fashioned and there are so many of them in stock that even if they are placed in a museum, people would complain that they take up space.

Now... seeing that Uncle Carl wanted this kind of thing, the new head of the family said that he had a way to buy these things at a very, very low scrap price, and the shipping place was close to Wales, so a lot of shipping costs could be saved.

Patrice knew Allen quite well and knew that Allen was very particular when filming movies.

When filming a fire scene, the young master even dared to use Koreans to shoot it!

The young master has such a spirit of striving for perfection. If I can get the real thing myself, and at a cheap price, wouldn’t that be better than custom-made props?

…

"???"

Alan opened his mouth and looked at Patrice who looked ashamed, his mind almost unable to wrap around.

Stockpiled German military uniforms from more than forty years ago, as well as old tanks and planes?

Can this thing be obtained?

If I really take it out to shoot...

Wouldn't people misunderstand that I'm really planning a rebellion?

I don't want to rebel. Have you prepared the yellow robe for me?

Holy shit…

…

"You said... this is that small gang family, taking the US military's route and letting the US military transport it to us?"

Regardless of the quality of the goods, Allen was very familiar with this transportation channel. He had seen a lot of it during his service, and he was currently using it himself, but...

"Yes... Master, the economy is bad now, and everyone is trying to make a living. It is said that there are many gang members in the US military, and they also want to do business. As long as the money is in place, they can sell anything. What's more, these are not critical items. These are all trivial matters. They are just passing by."

Patrice pointed in the direction of the Middle East, where the US military was now withdrawing.

“…”

Alan was even more speechless after hearing this.

From the Middle East to Germany, and then to Wales, you tell me this is a good route?

"What about the price? Compared to when we order props."

…

Alan watched as Patrice raised his index finger at him for the umpteenth time today, and his head suddenly ached.

"Stop gesturing to me and speak!"

"10%, 10%! Master, it's really scrap price. They sell it for money! It's almost by the kilogram."

"???"

No matter whether these things are legal or not, as long as the other party dares to ship them to him, in the face of the absolutely low price, nothing else matters. Alan was a little disgusted just now, but now buying things from the US military is only 10% of the original price. What a good deal!

Even if the quality was a little bit worse, Allen would accept it.

In the face of absolutely low prices, no problem is a problem!

"Okay! Then you keep watching them and place orders with them. Make sure the quality is good and don't send me a batch of junk!"

Finally there was some good news. After Alan finished explaining everything, he waved his hand with some tiredness, signaling Patrice to get out of here and go do his work.

"Yes! Master, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on you this time."

"Well... let's go now."

…

At the end of May, Allen, who was waiting for the crew to prepare and the script to be revised, didn't want to go to school and had a good rest at home for a few days. One evening, he had just finished dealing with household affairs and came out of the study. Huth, who had not been seen for a few days, was about to knock on the study door.

"Hey...what are you doing here so late?"

Alan motioned Hutt to follow him. He was going back to the bedroom to rest, and they could talk while walking if they had anything to say.

Hut hesitated for a moment, then walked to Allen's side and whispered, "I received a fax saying there is something unexpected happening in China."

"???"

Alan paused, frowning.

What's going on lately? I always run into bad luck.

The preliminary preparations for filming the movie were not going smoothly. Could there be some problems with the business now?

"What's the emergency? Something happened at the factory?"

"no……"

Hut picked up the folder and flipped through it again. After memorizing the place names on the fax, he reported to Allen using these difficult-to-pronounce place names: "Since mid-May, um... their eastern region has seen continuous rainfall, and the water levels of many rivers have risen. Some areas have already experienced flooding, and according to the information we have received so far, the situation is still spreading."

…

"oh?"

Alan was a little surprised to hear the news. He really didn't know about this.

Walking quickly back to the bedroom and coming to the map hanging on the wall of the side hall, Alan asked Hut to point to him on the map.

Looking at the disaster-stricken areas pointed out by Hu, Alan was silent.

His radio factory and instant noodle factory are located in Hujian Province. Four cities were opened in the first batch. Alan finally chose Menxia City, which has an excellent port and is not too conspicuous. It is not too far to the north and not too far to the south. It is located in the middle of the open cities.

The province currently affected by the disaster is not far from Hu Jian’s province, just one province away.

In this situation... Allen narrowed his eyes and pointed at the map and asked, "Has our factory suffered any damage?"

"Not yet. It's still some distance from the factory."

"Um……"

Alan pinched his chin. This situation was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Is there anything else going on over there?"

"No, Master. This is a warning from the person in charge. He is worried that the situation will continue to spread and affect factory production. He reported it in advance and hoped to come up with a response plan."

"Um!"

Alan nodded, pointed to the sofa, and motioned for Hut to sit down and talk slowly.

…

Now that we know the problem, the factory manager was right to do so. All warning and response plans should be prepared in advance.

It is not necessary for Allen to come up with any response plan. They should have started making plans when they sent the fax back.

Because they are in that environment, they understand it more clearly than people like Allen who are thousands of miles away.

But...when encountering this kind of thing, even if Alan wants to help, he has to have a certain reason. He can't just jump out impatiently when others can solve the problem, right?

Don't do something with good intentions but bad results, making others misunderstand that you are there to laugh at the joke.

"This way, I will let them keep paying attention and report to me immediately if there is any situation. I will first send them our disaster plan for reference. If the factory is affected, I will first ensure the safety of the workers and delay the equipment."

"this……"

Hut blinked, looked at Alan who had finished explaining, thought about it and didn't refute...

The young master had always instilled in him that in the future, he had to go out and do business in Britain. Doing business there was a dead end as the relationships between the various families and aristocrats were complicated and it was too tiring to do business there. It would be better to jump out and not offend anyone, and develop emerging markets abroad. China was a good place, and it was also where the young master had been planning.

Now we have to make such a move to ensure the safety of workers first and postpone the safety of equipment...

This is not common among noble lords!

"Okay, I'll let them know."

Huth took the folder, wrote down Alan's instructions and stood up. It was getting late, so after finishing his business, he would not disturb Alan's rest.

…

In early June in the town of Carmarthen, a big piece of news swept the entire town in just a few days.

Notices have been posted in conspicuous locations at several major intersections with heavy traffic.

Before the end of the month, most of the town's residents will have to cooperate with the filming of the movie!

The filming location was in the town of Carmarthen.

In order to better appear in the movie, we are now recruiting extras.

The condition for being an extra is that all residents currently living in Carmarthen must register!

After seeing the conditions clearly, the residents of the town were shocked.

Does everyone have to cooperate with the filming?

Then how do they still work?

Is there still any law?

oh?

Was it requested by His Excellency the Count?

Well... this law can disappear temporarily for a while, and it will come back again after this gentleman finishes filming the movie.

only……

Most of the residents felt distressed. Although filming was nothing new and nearby residents had seen the gentleman filming movies from afar in the past two years, they were still somewhat nervous when this happened to them.

What about work?

If you don't go to work and are just an extra, how can you earn money?

What if I lose my job after performing for too long?

…

Without letting the town residents wait any longer, a second announcement came out the next day.

Recently, in order to cooperate with the Earl's filming, several nearby factories have been given paid holidays!

These broken factories originally belonged to Allen. Now, he can pay them normal wages and they don't have to go to work. They just need to be extras. In this way, they don't have to worry about work.

As for those who do not work locally, it doesn’t matter. They will be given a subsidy and can live outside during this period. If they want to participate in group performances, that’s fine. It’s their own choice.

The entire town of Carmarthen has been requisitioned by Allen for filming the movie.

…

Originally, the script and the story historically took place in Winnipeg, a city in western Canada.

Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba and is currently the eighth largest city in Canada with a population of just over half a million.

It’s called the provincial capital, but more than half of the population of Manitoba lives in Winnipeg…

The geographical environment of Winnipeg is somewhat similar to that of Carmarthen, of course only in spring and summer, not in winter.

Everyone is building along the river. Now that Winnipeg has developed well, there are not many old buildings left. The opposite is true in Carmarthen. There are not many new buildings, only old buildings.

Apart from the fact that the town is a little bit smaller in size, there are no other major problems.

…

Ever since Canadians did not welcome him to film in Canada, Allen has been holding his breath. If they don't welcome me, I won't go!

We filmed it in the town of Carmarthen, just to scare those Welsh people.

Thinking about how many years it has been since the Hill family last played such a big game, Alan felt a little excited every time he thought about it.

He was already imagining these Welsh people fighting to the death, not wanting to be extras for him, and holding up signs in protest.

Then he could make a grand appearance with his evil slaves, and show the Welsh how sharp the knife in the hand of the Earl of Carmarthen was.

However……

After waiting for a few days, the whole town of Carmarthen was calm...
