According to the agreement, the next day was the day to exchange William and Wolfe, but because Wolfe had escaped, the exchange was terminated.
After getting in touch with the Los Angeles headquarters through the telegraph room of the Rhodesia Hotel, O'Connor was ready to escort William back to Los Angeles. However, at this time, the London Military Intelligence Agency had mobilized the Cairo garrison to control the Rhodesia Hotel and was determined not to allow O'Connor to escort William back to Los Angeles.
William was taken from the Rhodesian Hotel.
"The agents of the London Military Intelligence Agency check everyone entering and exiting the Rhodesia Hotel. The same goes for vehicles. Have you seen the military vehicle across the road? If we take William out of the hotel now, there may be a conflict with the London Military Intelligence Agency.
, but we are definitely safe when we stay in the hotel, and the agents of the London Military Intelligence Agency do not dare to rush into the hotel." Robert, the local person in charge of Brad's office in Cairo, has a sad face, which can be clearly seen through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows of the suite.
Saw military trucks opposite the hotel.
What’s more, it’s a military truck produced in Nyasaland.
Just downstairs of the Rhodesia Hotel, there are about dozens of agents from the London Military Intelligence Agency, who are inspecting the guests and vehicles entering and leaving the Rhodesia Hotel. The inspection work is carried out very carefully, and the agents do not even miss the bottom of the car.
.
Wolfe's escape caused the entire London Military Intelligence Bureau to lose face. O'Connor received the news that the head of the London Military Intelligence Bureau in Cairo vowed to find Wolfe even if all the water in the Nile was drained, no matter life or death.
"Where is Wolfe now?" O'Connor was still concerned about Wolfe's whereabouts. Like William who had no time to send the information, Wolfe had no chance to send the information back to Nyasaland and find Wolfe.
It is the last hope to obtain Parsons steam turbine related technology.
"I don't know, we are also trying our best to search, but we are short of manpower. The London Military Intelligence Bureau has mobilized the Cairo garrison and is conducting a dragnet search along the Nile River. God bless." Robert didn't know much about the situation. Now everyone
Everyone is praying for Wolfe, hoping that nothing unexpected will happen to Wolfe, let alone that Wolfe will be found by the London Military Intelligence Agency.
"We have to increase our manpower to prevent these idiots from rushing in and robbing people." O'Connor thought more. Bullard's office in Cairo only has a dozen operators in total, and the team led by O'Connor also has less than 20 people.
, such a small number of people are really not enough to compare with the garrison in Cairo.
"It doesn't matter, the London Military Intelligence Bureau has not yet had the guts to attack the Rhodesia Hotel." Robert's words reassured O'Connor to a certain extent. During the World War, the British government created a large number of knights in southern Africa and used the titles to win over the powerful elites in southern Africa.
For a time, the number of nobles in southern Africa increased sharply, which once led Ade to send a telegram to Winston, hoping that Winston would stop using this method and artificially create a special class in southern Africa.
As the top dignitary in southern Africa, Stoudemire must be on the list of the British government. When Cecil Rhodes was still alive, the British government was worried that Cecil Rhodes would not be able to survive, and did not give Cecil Rhodes any money until his death.
Lord Rhodes.
Now that Cecil Rhodes has passed away, Southern Africa has also changed from a British colony to a British Overseas Dominion, and it has shown an increasingly important value during the World War. The British government's influence on Southern Africa is constantly weakening, so
The British government had to adopt the method of knighthood to increase the influence of the British Empire on southern Africa.
This method has its advantages and disadvantages. For the British government, knighthood can indeed achieve its goal, but the expansion of the aristocratic class will inevitably lead to a gradual decrease in the value of the aristocracy. In the long run, the gains outweigh the losses.
Stoudemire's current title is Viscount Rhodesia. As Stoudemire's property, the Rhodesia Hotel does not have the guts to attack the London Military Intelligence Bureau.
"Then let's just waste it and see who can outlast the other." O'Connor can only wait. Now it depends on whether Wolfe can escape the pursuit of the London Military Intelligence Agency. As long as Wolfe can escape smoothly, the current predicament will be over.
It will be solved easily.
While O'Connor and Robert were trapped in the hotel, the transport ship "Courageous", belonging to the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa, was en route from Cairo to British Somalia to transport supplies to the Southern African troops who were fighting the rebellion in Somalia.
After the end of the world war, Rock was ordered to quell the ongoing rebellion in British Somalia. This task was a bit low-level. Rock handed the task to Don Juan, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, and left Angel in British Somalia for training.
.
During the World War, the 2nd Cavalry Division never failed to fight against the Germans on the Western Front. It was a waste of time to deal with the rebels in British Somalia. Although the rebellion in British Somalia has not yet completely subsided, it has also come to an end.
After a large number of rebels were eliminated by the Second Cavalry Division, the remaining rebels fled into Italian Somalia and did not dare to stay in British Somalia.
Not long after leaving Cairo, the "Courageous" was intercepted by a British Royal Navy warship. Interestingly, the warship that intercepted the "Courageous" was stationed in Alexandria. During the World War, it was part of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force Fleet. It once and the southern
There has been close cooperation with the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, mainly the African Expeditionary Force.
A small team of British sailors, led by a captain, boarded the "Brave" for inspection.
Chrisman, the captain of the "Brave", ordered all crew members to gather on the deck and accept inspection by British sailors in accordance with the captain's request.
The "Brave" is a 3,000-ton transport ship with a total of 25 sailors on board. The captain carefully checked the list provided by Chrisman and found that there was no error.
"Yes, everyone is here. Even the cat on the ship has been checked by you. Mr. Captain, is there any problem?" Chrisman looked angry. This kind of thing has never happened before.
As long as the ships are from southern Africa, they will be able to travel unimpeded in any ocean in the world.
There are a lot of rats on ships these days, especially ocean-going transport ships, so it is traditional to keep cats on board. There were four cats on the "Courageous", and the sailors checked them very carefully, even the gender of the cats.
"Open the warehouse, we need to inspect the warehouse." The captain asked a lot. It is not easy to hide one person on such a big ship. Just because the number of people is right doesn't mean there will be no problem.
"Open all the warehouses? Are you sure?" Chrisman was surprised. The "Brave" is a container transport ship. There are nearly fifty containers on the ship. This needs to be checked one by one. Not to mention the time delay, just in case.
Who is responsible if an accident occurs?
Don't overestimate the moral level of these British sailors. The descendants of pirates have no moral level at all. Taking advantage of others during inspections is a minor problem. Some with dark minds may even do some sabotage for the purpose of blackmail.
"Yes, open all the warehouses." The captain looked arrogant and repeated the order word for word.
In fact, let’s not blame anyone. Some time ago, the Southern African army was ruthlessly recruiting people in the outer harbor of Berbera. Their appearance was no less ugly than that of the British Royal Navy.
This is it
The Southern African Navy is also the British Navy, so it is operating normally, so don't be surprised.
"Mr. Captain, I have gathered all the crew members for your inspection according to your request. Don't go too far. Our ship is loaded with military supplies destined for Berbera. All the cargo lists are here. They were accepted when leaving the port.
Passing the inspection by the Cairo Port Authority, what do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass us?" Chrisman waved his chubby hands and shouted, everyone is working for the British Empire, and the Royal Navy is nothing special.
During the World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force was completely impressive in Europe. Temporary inspections were not allowed to happen before the World War. Chrisman could only cooperate honestly and keep any dissatisfaction to himself and not speak out.
Things are different now. After the end of the world war, the confidence of southern Africans has been directly upgraded to a new level. Faced with the unreasonable demands of the British Royal Navy, Chrisman dared to argue with reason. It is no longer the same as before.
"No one is deliberately embarrassing you. I am performing official duties. You just need to cooperate!" The captain's face was also ugly. If this were a transport ship of another nationality, the captain would have given the gift obediently and left the captain alone.
Take whatever you ask for.
The ships in southern Africa are now very horizontal, not to mention the benefits, even cigarettes are left on every ship. Not only the captain, but other sailors are also very dissatisfied, but there is nothing they can do.
After the end of the World War, John Drobek, deputy commander of the Far Mediterranean Fleet, succeeded John Fisher as commander of the Mediterranean Fleet. During the World War, John Drobek also fought alongside Roque, and his personal relationship with Roque still remained.
Yes, so southern African ships have the same privileges as British ships in the Mediterranean, and are not very respectful to the Royal Navy.
"Honestly, Mr. Captain, are you looking for something?" Chrisman was very curious. The Royal Navy had never been like this before.
The captain's expression was serious, but he said every word: "This is not something you should understand."
It was indeed not the case. Chrisman agreed to open the warehouse for inspection, but he did not forget to speak harshly, claiming that the Royal Navy would be responsible for the consequences.
The captain refused to give in, so the crew opened the container and the sailors inspected it one by one.
Most of the containers are filled with food and daily necessities. There are a few special containers that contain weapons and ammunition, with seals from the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa on them.
"I'm sorry, Captain, we don't have the authority to open these containers. If you must open them, please do it yourself." Chrisman stood by and said that if you break the seal of the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa without permission, you will bear legal responsibility.
"Open!" The captain was not afraid. Even if he broke the seal of the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa would go to the Royal Navy to hold him accountable. He, a little captain, would not be responsible.
If the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up.
