The New York Umbrella operators are basically all professional mercenaries who have participated in the World War.
In order to make it easier to move in New York, these professional mercenaries have actually all become American citizens. This is not a problem in the United States today. Basically, as long as you come to the United States, you will easily become American citizens, regardless of whether you can speak English.
no problem.
A considerable number of Umbrella Company operators are of Chinese descent. According to the "Chinese Exclusion Act" currently implemented in the United States, these Chinese are not eligible to become American citizens. However, these Chinese are all British, so the U.S. Immigration Service does not
Reason for refusal.
The United Kingdom has always been the main source of immigrants to the United States, especially Ireland. Many Irish people who are unwilling to accept British rule will immigrate to the United States.
Lei Ming is a second-generation Chinese born in East India and raised in Southern Africa. He received education in Southern Africa. After graduating from high school, he joined the army. He served in the artillery unit of the Southern African Expeditionary Force during the World War. He retired after the war, joined the umbrella and came to
to New York.
"Hello, Mr. Lei Ming, I am Lorenzo Camacho from Jorginho Company." Camacho shook hands with Lei Ming, and one of his men quietly came to the window and looked at the street below, probably
I was observing how many people Lei Ming brought here.
"Are you done talking? Don't continue -" Lei Ming chased people away. At this time, it might be more powerful to shout "The Umbrella Company is working, all idle people, get out of the way".
Of course, it seems a little bit different.
"Don't worry about us, we and Tony are family, aren't we Tony?" Camacho looked at Tony with a half-smile.
"Yes - yes - Mr. Camacho and I are a family -" The smile on Tony Donner's face was uglier than crying. His living room had never been so lively.
"Okay, Mr. Tony, I'm here to talk to you about compensation-" Lei Ming didn't care, he opened his briefcase and took out a document, and gently placed it in front of Tony: "Mr. Tony, how much do you want? No.
Say 1.5 million pounds, you know, that's impossible, and it will get you killed."
When Tony Donner heard "The Disaster of Death", he felt his heart beat skip a beat. He didn't dare to make a decision himself and looked at Camacho pitifully.
"Mr. Lei Ming, are you threatening Tony?" Camacho couldn't laugh or cry. Are you hooligans, or are we hooligans?
We are experts at threatening things like this, okay? If you don't work hard on this promising career as a lawyer, why are you trying to steal the business from our gangsters?
"No, it's not, it's just a friendly reminder -" Lei Ming had a faint smile on his lips, glanced at Camacho, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "-Jorginho Company, this name is so familiar, you are selling wine
Right?"
In the United States in 1920, smuggling alcohol was the largest source of profit for gangs.
At 0:00 a.m. on January 17, 1920, the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—the Prohibition Act (also known as the "Volstead Act") officially came into effect.
According to this law, it is illegal to manufacture, sell or transport drinks with an alcohol content exceeding 0.5%.
It is not illegal to drink alcohol at home, but drinking with friends or holding a banquet is illegal, and you can be fined up to US$1,000 and imprisoned for six months.
In the United States today, people over the age of 21 can only buy alcohol, and they need to show proof of age, and they can only buy it in limited places.
The background of the emergence of "Prohibition" is very complicated and will not be discussed here. After the implementation of "Prohibition", many new products appeared on the American market, including a kind of industrial alcohol from southern Africa. The instructions for this industrial alcohol
, it is clearly written that it is strictly prohibited to add this kind of alcohol to drinking water in a certain proportion, and the consequences thereof have nothing to do with the alcohol itself.
This is so clear that Americans with a strong spirit of exploration will not miss it.
In New York, the biggest smuggler is Jorginho. Many of the drinks sold in Tony Donner's bar were also purchased from Jorginho's company.
Hearing Lei Ming mention wine, Camacho's face looked as ugly as ice.
Tony Downer stood in the corner of the living room without saying a word. He had no right to speak now. Whether it was Jorginho's company or the umbrella, Tony Downer could not afford to offend him.
"Okay, Tony, I have to remind you, this is New York, don't do anything you shouldn't do." Camacho had no choice but to escape, and did not forget to threaten Tony Donner before leaving.
Tony Donner watched Thunder eagerly.
"Don't worry Tony, Southern Africa will protect you. If you want, the Southern African Navy will compensate you double your actual losses, or you can choose to go to Southern Africa. Our umbrella will be in the most prosperous city of Nyasalando."
Cecil Rhodes Plaza, I'll give you a new orange sky." Lei Ming is not worried. The so-called "Mafia" has enough deterrence for ordinary people, and for multinational companies like Umbrella.
Haha, if you dare to mess with the protective umbrella, that Mr. Jorginho, his reputation will be ruined in minutes.
Don't think that since this is New York, umbrella companies will be restrained. As long as New York is still king of capital, umbrella companies will thrive like a duck in water.
Before Tony Downer had time to speak, a scream came from the stairs: "Hurry up and promise this gentleman, promise him, we have offended Mr. Jorginho, and even if we get the money, we will have nowhere to go. Go to southern Africa, go to
Nyasaland, children can receive world-class education, why are you hesitating?”
It was Tony Donner's wife. She was still worried about Tony Donner. She had been listening at the top of the stairs just now, with a shotgun in her hand.
"Shut up and go back upstairs -" Tony Donner suddenly changed his color.
Lei Ming was speechless and smiled bitterly. It was obviously a good thing, but it seemed like the protective umbrella was doing many evil things.
At this time, there was another knock on the door.
Tony Donner answered the door.
Outside the door were federal government workers who had visited Tony Downer a day or two before.
When he saw the thunder, Director Field was slightly startled, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"Director Field, hello——" Lei Ming was personable.
"Hello, Mr. Lei Ming -" Field looked ugly. Although he didn't know why Lei Ming was here, he could make a guess.
"It seems you have something to talk about. Should I come back later?" Field said hypocritically, without any intention of saying goodbye.
"No, Director Field, I am Mr. Tony's lawyer. If you have any questions, you can tell me the same thing." Lei Ming quickly changed his identity, and it turned out to be seamless.
After all, Tony Downer is going to sue the British delegation next, so it is normal for him to find a lawyer.
But the umbrella company’s lawyer——
Doesn't seem like a very good choice.
"Tony, is that true?" Field suspected that Tony Donnell was threatened, and looked at Tony Donnell with a very stern look: "If you are threatened, just say it directly, the federal government will always be your strongest support
backing!"
"No, no, no, I didn't, Director Field, I didn't, Ray is indeed my lawyer." Tony Downer made a wise choice to cooperate with the federal government. Tony Downer could get up to 2,000 US dollars, and cooperated with Southern Africa
, Tony Donner could get at least $20,000, or a brand new bar.
Or the bar in Cecil Rhodes Square in Nyasalando City. The value of the bars there is estimated to be similar to that of bars in Manhattan.
"Okay, Tony, what do you think?" Field was helpless. American lawyers are all vampires and very difficult to deal with. Field had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Tony Downer startled Field as soon as he opened his mouth: "Director Field, I am not going to accuse the British delegation. The fire in the Orange Sky Bar was entirely due to Doyle's improper operation. He was preparing a drink with
The flaming cocktail accidentally caused a fire——"
Tony Donner was lying. Anyway, Camacho just said that Kenny had been disguised by Camacho and thrown into a sack and thrown into the East River. There was no evidence to prove his death.
"Tony, you will be held legally responsible for what you said." Field did not expect that Tony would change his mind so completely.
"Of course!" Tony Donner's voice was trembling again, and his attitude was extremely firm.
"Have you forgotten what you said in the police station?" Field was furious. There was also Tony Donner's transcript in the police station.
"I was confused at the time. It was the police in the police station who induced me to say that. It was not my intention." Tony Downer denied it. Considering that he worked so hard, the protective umbrella should be more generous.
[Biquge www.biquku.biz] "You bastard——" Field's hands were shaking.
"Director Field, are you threatening Mr. Tony?" Lei Ming was eager to try. Oops, going to court with the US government sounds very challenging.
"Very good, very good -" Field left angrily.
Tony Donner slumped in his chair, slumped.
"Dear, you are great, I am really worried about you, you are great -" Tony Donner's wife rushed down from upstairs, holding Tony Donner in tears.
Several of Tony Donner's children huddled timidly at the top of the stairs, timidly watching Thunder and not daring to go down the stairs.
"Tony, pack your things and follow me. I'm worried that the safety of you and your family will be threatened. You will temporarily stay at the Umbrella Company headquarters and return to Southern Africa together on a warship in Southern Africa in a few days. You made the right decision today.
The choice——" Lei Ming wants to take away all Tony's family to avoid long nights and endless dreams.
"Is that correct - I hope -" Tony Donner smiled bitterly. He didn't want to do this, so he had no choice.
"Of course it is correct. My sister's family is in Los Angeles. She wrote us letters and sent telegrams a long time ago, hoping that we can also go to Southern Africa. I have wanted to go to Southern Africa for a long time -" Tony
Tangner's wife was very happy. She had also longed for southern Africa for a long time.
