As the latest luxury brand in the limelight, the jewelry produced by Iteno enjoys a huge reputation all over the world, especially the luxury goods related to diamonds. Iteno is famous for its fashionable luxury and is crazy about dignitaries all over the world. sought after.
Hendrix earns 2,500 pounds a year. If he were asked to spend 1,500 pounds to buy a watch, he would probably be reluctant to part with it.
It's not that they can't afford it, but it's too high-profile. A watch worth 1,500 pounds is not produced for officials at all, but for nobles and wealthy businessmen. Wearing such a watch by an official is like wearing a time bomb, and you can't tell when it will break. Will explode.
Most of the luxuries that Hendrix was reluctant to buy could not be afforded by Colonel Van Wyk. Then the problem arises. The facts reflected in a small watch are shocking. Most of the information provided by Colonel Van Wyk cannot be trusted. , Hendrix also needs more information channels.
There are indeed channels for information. Although the British Military Intelligence Office has been defeated in the open and covert struggle with Bullard's office, there are still personnel from the Military Intelligence Agency operating in southern Africa. However, it is not easy for members of the Military Intelligence Agency to meet with Hendrix. After arriving in southern Africa, every move of Hendrix was monitored by Bullard's office. Major Livingston, the director of the Military Intelligence Division, did not dare to meet Hendrix rashly.
At least not at the Rhodesian Hotel.
"Sir, Major Livingston has asked you to meet at the Sunset Bar. He cannot come to the Rhodesian Hotel to meet you, otherwise it may cause the intelligence network of the Military Intelligence Department to completely collapse." Henry, Hendrix's secretary, was cautious. In the past two days, Secretary Hendricks was in a bad mood.
"Is Brad's Office that scary?" Hendrix couldn't get enough of Brad's Office.
Henry smiled awkwardly. It was inappropriate to say anything at this time. Major Livingston's caution could already explain a lot of problems.
Sunset Bar is located next to Sunset Avenue on the shores of Lake Nyasa. Walking along Sunset Avenue can lead directly to Star City. Therefore, in recent years, the area around Sunset Avenue has developed rapidly, and a prosperous commercial district has been formed along Lake Nyasa. , there are hundreds of pubs similar to Sunset Bar.
As night fell, Hendrix, dressed in black and wearing a top hat, came to the Sunset Bar, which is a retro-style British bar with dim lights, an old bar, and movie star posters on the mottled walls, where he bartended drinks. The teacher's accent is full of strong London style, and everything makes Hendrix feel like he is in London.
"Sorry, we can't meet easily. There are police detectives and secret police everywhere here. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted -" Livingston is a thin middle-aged man who runs a grocery store in Los Angeles and is a military intelligence officer. The head of intelligence in Los Angeles.
From Livingston's occupation, it can be seen that the living environment of the Military Intelligence Agency in Los Angeles is quite harsh, which makes Hendricks have much less expectations for the Military Intelligence Agency.
"Is there any good news?" Hendrix ordered a glass of rum, which was expensive but tasteless.
"There is a lot of information, but nothing useful. The Southern African Air Force has strict precautions, and we have almost no room for penetration. Recently, the Southern African Air Force is undergoing transfer training, and troops are mobilized frequently. There was originally an Air Force Division here in Los Angeles.
It was transferred to the Republic of Congo to participate in counter-insurgency some time ago, and is still in combat mode. According to the news I know, the Southern African Air Force has retired some combat aircraft, but I don’t know how many there are, and I don’t know how the retired combat aircraft are disposed of.
"Livingston drank three-star wine produced in Oak Town. It was not expensive and tasted pretty good.
The Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa has very strict security controls. Every once in a while, relevant military personnel will be organized to receive training. The military has also promulgated many relevant regulations on security. It is not easy for the Military Intelligence Office to obtain intelligence.
"You have millions of pounds of funding every year and only this little news?" Hendricks was not satisfied with Livingston's work.
"Oh, that's good. You don't know how scary Brad's office is. Many times we just develop an informant, and then the informant and our intelligence personnel will disappear completely, silently, no one
We know where they went, and no one knows what happened to them." Livingston also has difficulties. The Military Intelligence Agency has never taken advantage of the confrontation with Bullard's office. Why does Livingston not want to become a "spy king"?
It's a pity that it can't be done.
"No information?" Hendrix didn't believe it.
"There is some unconfirmed information that the Southern African Air Force will refurbish the aircraft that are about to be eliminated and sell them to Italy or Japan, and the more advanced ones will be directly dismantled. You must know that the engine of the aircraft has a life span and must be replaced after a certain time limit.
We spent a lot of money to get a scrapped engine in southern Africa, but not only did we not get what we wanted, but we lost one of our best agents." None of the information Livingston provided was what Hendrix wanted, and Hendrix
Derricks doesn't care about Italians or Japanese.
"Of course there is good news. We are in contact with a major in the Southern African Air Force, but the price offered by the other party is a bit high -" Livingston is not without merit, and the Southern African Air Force is not invulnerable. As long as you can dance well, there is no corner that cannot be dug.
fall.
"Satisfy him, no matter how high the other party's price is, I will satisfy him." Hendrix is not afraid of spending money. No matter how big the other party's appetite is, it will not reach the million level.
The Air Force major Livingston was talking about was Andres, the procurement director of the logistics department of the 1st Southern African Air Force Division stationed in Los Angeles.
The day after he and Hendrix parted ways, Livingston met Andres.
This time it was in a cafe next to Victory Street.
"Are you crazy? Victory Street is the home of Brad's office!" Andres almost yelled when he saw Livingston.
"Don't worry, this bar is absolutely safe." Livingston was confident.
Andres subconsciously looked at the waiter behind the bar, who gave Andres a bright smile.
Andres knew that this cafe was probably one of the military intelligence bases.
"Tell me what you know, and I will satisfy all your requests." Livingston didn't talk nonsense. The most dangerous place is the safest, but it can't attract anyone's attention.
"I want one hundred thousand dollars, and then I will arrange for my family and I to go to the United States." Andres said loudly. There was not enough profit, and Andres did not want to take risks.
Livingston said nothing, took out a check, put it on the table and pushed it to Andres.
The check issued by Rand Bank was indeed in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars.
"Are you crazy, Rand Bank check, do you want me to throw myself into a trap?" Andres was furious.
"Don't be angry, just take the check and get on the ship. When you get to the United States, go to the Rand Bank in the United States to exchange it. Rand Bank's checks are accepted all over the world." Livingston was helpless. It was really troublesome to deal with such a person.
cell.
Andres looked at the numbers on the check carefully, and then carefully put the check into his wallet.
"Okay, what do you want to know? I don't have much time-" Andres finally breathed a sigh of relief. With these one hundred thousand dollars, Andres can live comfortably anywhere he goes.
"All you know!" Livingston has a big appetite and one hundred thousand dollars must be worth it.
"Hetui——" Andres spat disdainfully. One hundred thousand dollars can't buy much information.
"Just talking about arms purchases, where have all the retired aircraft from the Southern African Air Force gone?" Livingston emphasized.
"Most of them have been sold to Italy and Japan, and of course some will be sold to the Royal Air Force. The three armed forces in southern Africa now have more than 1,400 aircraft. It will be a long process to replace them all." Andres only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
, which has already surprised Livingston.
"Three armies?"
"Yes, the three armed forces. The air force in Southern Africa is divided into three parts. One part is the local air force, one part is under the army, and the other part is under the jurisdiction of the navy. The local air force is a strategic bombing force, and the air force under the army is composed of helicopters and airborne troops.
The main task is to cooperate with the ground forces in combat, and the navy is the aircraft carrier-" Andres took the money and he really knew everything.
"Have the helicopters become combat effective?" Livingston looked confused. If it were anyone else, he might not even understand helicopters.
"Of course, don't underestimate the scientific research and military industry strength of Southern Africa. Now helicopters have developed into armed helicopters and transport helicopters. The anti-submarine helicopters needed by the navy are being studied. The Royal Air Force is buying fighter jets. In fact, it is better to buy helicopters. In the future,
In combat, helicopters may play a greater role than fighter jets--" Andres's information was all included. In fact, even if he didn't say it, in a few years, the information about helicopters would not be withheld.
"Is there any specific information, such as when those aircraft will be refurbished and sold to the Air Force Department, and when they will be shipped?" Livingston tried to get more precise information.
"I don't know this information either. The Southern African Air Force is now highly professional, and everyone is only responsible for the part they are responsible for -" Andres said with a sarcastic look on his face. One hundred thousand dollars can only buy so much information, and he wants more.
Information will cost extra.
Before Livingston could speak, the door of the cafe was suddenly kicked open, and then a group of agents from Brad's office swarmed in.
Livingston looked at the waiter behind the bar who was wiping glasses with a look of astonishment.
The waiter's smile was full of apologies, and the agents who rushed in ignored the waiter and rushed directly to Livingston and Andres.
Only then did Livingston understand why this cafe could survive on Victory Street.
