Since Sir Drummond served as Secretary-General of the League of Nations, the Umbrella Corporation has maintained a close cooperative relationship with the League of Nations. For many tasks that are not convenient for the League of Nations peacekeeping forces to perform, the Executive Council of the League of Nations will entrust the Umbrella Corporation with the responsibility.
The last time Sir Lytton led a special investigation team to the Far East for investigation, the Umbrella Company was also responsible for the security of the special investigation team.
Now Sir Lytton has gone to India to serve as the Governor-General of India. The special investigation team is led by André Tardieu, who once served as French Prime Minister.
André Tardieu, a French politician, participated in World War I and received a Medal of Honor. After the war, he served as Prime Minister of France three times. At the beginning of the year, he once served as Minister of War in Pierre's Cabinet. Last month
Just after leaving office, he was entrusted by the Executive Yuan of the League of Nations to lead a team to Macae.
The special investigation team led by Andre Tardieu consists of six people. In addition to Andre Tardieu and his assistant Nell Black, there are also Kevin and David from the UK.
As well as Robin and Julia from southern Africa, Julia is the only woman on the Special Investigation Team.
Considering that there are female members of the Special Investigation Team, Umbrella Company equipped two female mercenaries for Julia to make it easier to accompany Julia.
It was already April 1st when the special investigation team arrived in Macae. It had been more than three months since the Macae massacre broke out, so Andre Tardieu didn't have much expectations for this investigation.
.
"It's been too long. A lot of evidence has disappeared with the passage of time. We don't even know if there are any survivors-" Looking at the desolate city in front of him, Andre Tardieu felt like his head was spinning.
A circle bigger.
The area where Macae is located has a tropical savanna climate, with high temperatures throughout the year and distinct rainy and dry seasons.
Makae is rich in local species, lush vegetation, and has hundreds of species of wild animals. Even the carcass of an elephant will disappear without a trace after one night in the wild, not to mention humans.
What's more, if it is a massacre, it will most likely be accompanied by the destruction of corpses and traces. In this case, it will be even more difficult to find evidence.
The impact of the massacre on Macae can be seen in the desolation of the city.
Before the massacre, Macae was a prosperous port city where tens of thousands of people lived and thrived.
Now the whole city is dilapidated and desolate. Many houses still retain traces of being burned by fires. Weeds are growing on the streets. Wild animals are running around everywhere. Occasionally, you can see people with large and small bags walking through the deserted streets. This is the only sign of an abandoned city.
A unique scavenger.
"Since there are still people living here, there must be survivors." Julia did not give up. This girl who graduated from Johannesburg Medical College had a strong sense of responsibility. After learning that the League of Nations had formed a special investigation team, Julia decided for the first time
Sign up now.
"Julia, let me remind you again, you are absolutely not allowed to act alone without my permission." Robin, who is also from southern Africa, looked at Julia with eyes full of concern.
"I know, but don't worry about me. Anna and Kabaeva are enough to ensure my safety, and I am not helpless." Julia has a strong heart. Anna and Kabaeva are the protective umbrellas arranged for Julia.
Leah's two mercenaries, as you can tell from their names, are both Slavs.
Julia herself——
In other words, all southern African girls are not easy to mess with. When she was in Johannesburg, Julia was the leader of Ziwei Shooting Club. Her 20-meter pistol rapid fire was almost professional. She also received combat training.
, Robin may not have thought that if Julia let go, Robin might not be Julia's opponent.
Robin knew that Julia would not change because of his request, so Robin looked at Anna and Kabaeva.
Anna, who is slightly older, mature and stable in chemical engineering, nodded slightly to Robin without showing any signs of it.
Kabaeva, who had a good relationship with Julia, blinked her beautiful big eyes, as if she didn't know anything, don't ask me.
"Let's go to the Rhodesia Hotel first, hoping to gain something." Kevin from the UK took the initiative to propose. There are six people in the special investigation team, two each from the UK, France and Southern Africa, which fully reflects the power of the League of Nations.
pattern.
There are still mercenaries with guns on guard at the entrance of the Rhodesia Hotel, but the armored vehicles and barricades have disappeared.
Today's Macae is centered on the Rhodesian Hotel. There are still people living in several surrounding blocks, but the blocks further away are completely deserted. It is not known when the prosperity before the massacre will be restored.
The Rhodesian Hotel had already resumed business. After knowing the purpose of the group, the beautiful front desk clerk enthusiastically provided information to the special investigation team.
Of course there are survivors. They are at the Southern African Consulate in Makae. The office is not far from the Rhodesia Hotel and the group of people drove there quickly.
"Welcome to the island of survivors. I am Marcelo from Southern Africa. I am very happy to meet you. The League of Nations finally remembered its responsibilities. You should have done something long ago." Marcelo, the director of the office, has received the call in advance.
I received a call from the Rhodesia Hotel and took the initiative to greet me at the door of the office.
There were two girls who came out to greet Marcelo. One of them was Li Qing, who had not appeared in more than forty chapters, and the other was Chen Jing, whose family had immigrated to southern Africa, but she took the initiative to stay.
Chennault's tailoring skills are indeed good. During the time he lived at the Rhodesia Hotel, the Chennault family made more than two hundred sets of clothing. Marcelo was already reluctant to part with the Chennault family when they were finally sent to the ship.
, he really hopes that the Chennault family can stay.
But it doesn't matter, Marcelo's wardrobe is now filled with all kinds of clothes carefully made by Chennault. At least in the past ten years, Chennault will not need to buy any more clothes.
Marcelo used to think so too.
However, just after the Chennault family left Macae, Marcelo sadly discovered that his figure had a tendency to gain weight.
This is really too bad.
"If you are looking for survivors, then you have come to the right place. We have one here." Marcelo said proudly, leaving Chen Jing to work in the office, which was a stroke of genius.
During their time at the Rhodesia Hotel, Chen Jing and Li Qing established a deep friendship, so much so that when the Chennault family left Macae, Chen Jing was reluctant to leave Li Qing and took the initiative to apply to stay in the office.
This made Li Qing extremely happy. You must know that Li Qing was the only girl in the office before. Otherwise, why would you think Li Qing likes to wear men's clothes so much?
"Hello, can we chat?" Julia entered the state quickly, and she was another workaholic.
André Tardieu frowned.
It is a good thing to like work, but it is not good to like it too much. This will make some people feel ashamed and is not conducive to unity.
There are also hidden rules in the work of the League of Nations, such as the special investigation team led by Sir Lytton. Sir Lytton stayed in the Far East for nine months. Doesn’t Sir Lytton know the truth about Japan’s military expansion?
You know, the truth of the matter can actually be easily investigated, but Sir Lytton still issued the extremely controversial investigation report.
This is the unspoken rule of the League of Nations. The truth of the matter is not important, nor are the interests of the countries involved. Even the interests of the League of Nations are not important either. What is important is the interests of the country to which Sir Lytton belongs.
For Andre Tardieu, the truth of the Macae massacre is equally unimportant, and neither is the interest of Brazil. If other members don't mind, Andre Tardieu is more willing to regard this as
It was a special trip. I stayed in Macae for a few months and then wrote an investigation report and submitted it to solve the problem.
Of course, if possible, André Tardieu would prefer to stay in Rio de Janeiro for a few months.
Thinking of Rio’s beautiful beaches, gentle sea breeze, warm sunshine, unrestrained Samba, and passionate girls——
massacre?
What the heck is massacre? Since you have come to Brazil, you should try a different way of life so that you can be worthy of these few months.
"Of course, although I don't want to recall that crazy night -" Chen Jing is no longer the shy girl she used to be. Difficulties can always make people mature at the fastest speed.
"Don't be sad, I will always be by your side." Li Qing hugged Chen Jing's shoulders without hesitation, just like an elder sister comforting her younger sister.
Chen Jing smiled, she could face it herself, but she still wanted to thank Li Qing for his kindness.
"Okay, let's get started -" Robin also entered working mode.
"Let's go Andre, sit in my office for a while and leave the work to the experts -" Marcelo, as the director of the office, is best at welcoming people and sending them off.
Kevin and David didn't speak. From the moment they entered the office door, they were carefully observing everything they saw.
The size of the office is actually not large. The three-story office building with a height of more than 20 meters looks very impressive. There are not many staff, but they are all smart and capable. There are several cars with southern paintings parked in the parking lot downstairs.
The African tricolor armored vehicle, the clean and tidy office, and everyone performing their duties left a deep impression on Kevin and David.
The British only have one embassy in Brazil in Rio, and other big cities like Sao Paulo have offices. Macae is not of a high level. Kevin and David didn't even know about it before they came to Macae.
Where is Macae.
This makes Kevin and David very worried. Southern Africa has expanded its power in South America to this extent. No wonder the Americans have such a determined attitude.
