The deal between Umbrella and the Russians was originally scheduled to be fulfilled in mid-December.
The speed of the Russian Second Pacific Squadron was slower than Sam expected. It was not until mid-January that the Second Pacific Squadron arrived belatedly. At this time, the second batch of orders purchased by the Japanese government in Johannesburg had begun to be shipped.
Goods.
The supply of the Second Pacific Squadron is carried out by the Nyasaland Ocean Shipping Company. This company is headquartered in Port Edward. Its general manager is the senior Boer captain Clifford Adolf. At present, the company's main business is from the Qing Dynasty to
Nyasaland Immigration, the company owns ten large immigration ships that can transport more than 2,000 people at a time, and has enough power to provide supplies to the Second Pacific Squadron.
Next to the dock in Port Edward, there are many huge warehouses, more than half of which belong to the Nyasaland Ocean Shipping Company. Most of these warehouses used to store coal and potatoes, which were used to prepare immigrants.
Starting in October last year, supplies ordered by the Russians began to enter the warehouse in batches, and the security of the warehouse was also strengthened.
"You must be careful. If the secrets here are exposed, many people will be killed. No matter who it is or for any purpose, anyone who dares to break into the warehouse without authorization must be arrested secretly. Brad's work does not allow for mistakes." Edward.
The person in charge of Hong Kong Bullard is Huo Bing. Last year, the Umbrella Company in Johannesburg made a major mistake when guarding Gabby George, which became a model within Umbrella and Bullard. Xia Jiu took the blame and resigned, and a foreigner became the president of the Umbrella Company.
Manager, Brad is ashamed of this. Huo Zheng will never allow this to happen to Brad.
"Master Huo, we have mobilized a total of more than 200 people in the warehouse to ensure that no mosquitoes can fly in." Port director Wei Ding has confidence in his men. The situation in Port Edward is very special. In addition to Chinese, there are Africans.
White people are monitored whenever they appear in Port Edward, and it is extremely difficult to sneak into the warehouse.
Huo Zheng glanced at Wei Ding angrily, with an obvious warning: "Your thoughts are very dangerous. Many times it is because of your carelessness that the enemy takes advantage of you. You should know what is in these warehouses."
, if something happens, I won’t be able to compensate you even if I sell you, so don’t blame me for not reminding you then.”
Huo Zheng is Brad's veteran and one of the first people to go to the War Office for training. Strictly speaking, the War Office, which is good at penetration investigations, is the target of Brad's protection, which makes Huo Zheng have to be cautious.
As for Wei Ding, he is indeed very good at his usual work, but also because he is so good, he is inevitably arrogant and arrogant. Huo Zheng has to knock from time to time, otherwise something will happen, and everyone in Brad will accompany him.
Shameful.
Wei Ding was still habitually afraid of Huo Zheng, so he lowered his eyebrows and was very honest: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I will bring the bedroll over later. We will eat, drink, and sleep here. If something happens, don't worry."
You speak, sir, and I will hang myself to apologize to the Lord."
"If something really happens, even if we all apologize, it won't help." Huo Zheng didn't talk nonsense. It was enough to talk about this job. If Wei Ding's job had to be solved, Huo Zheng couldn't save him.
Wei Ding did understand the importance and sent Huo Zheng away. Wei Ding really moved the office directly to the port, called all the team leaders together, once again emphasized the importance of security work, and detailed every aspect of security work.
If something really goes wrong, Huo Zheng doesn't need to tell him, Wei Ding knows what to do.
The security work of the entire warehouse area is jointly handled by Bullard and the Port Edward Police Department. The Police Department is responsible for the specific work, and Bullard is responsible for inspection and supervision. If problems are found, Bullard and the Police Department have the power to take measures.
The most obvious difference is that all police officers in the police station are in uniform, while Brad's staff are in suits and ties. In Nyasaland, Brad is the so-called "secret police".
At night, the electrified storage area is brightly lit. For the sake of prevention, there are no trees or green belts in the storage area. After nightfall, no one is allowed to move in the storage area. Anyone who breaks into the storage area without permission will be directly arrested.
If you dare to arrest, you will be killed directly. Port Edward is not even British territory now. It is nominally the land leased by the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company from the Yao people, so even the British will not be protected in Port Edward.
.
Huo Zheng's worries are still necessary. Ever since Umbrella began to collect supplies to Port Edward, some people have appeared in the dock storage area intentionally or unintentionally, trying to get close to the warehouse where supplies are stored. Early last month, Brad foiled an infiltration attempt.
, a total of three people were shot dead, but unfortunately they were not caught alive and could not follow the clues, which made Huo Zheng very regretful.
Unlike Johannesburg, where the nightlife is quite developed, Port Edward has almost no entertainment venues except for a few fixed-group clubs. There are also very few people active in Port Edward at night. It is still very difficult to penetrate the warehouse. The only chance is to
When the warehouse is replenishing supplies, only then will other people have the opportunity to enter the warehouse.
In fact, the items stored in most warehouses are not contraband. Only in Warehouse No. 4 are weapons and ammunition prepared for the Russian Second Pacific Squadron. If these things are known by the British and Japanese governments, it will cause trouble.
There was an uproar, so security around Warehouse No. 4 was a top priority. The Port Edward militia carried out the transportation of supplies themselves, and the stevedores at the docks could not intervene at all.
At 2:30 in the morning, when people are most tired of the day, two police officers responsible for the security of Warehouse No. 4 gathered together to chat.
"Would you like a cigarette?" A policeman took out a cigarette.
"You don't want to live anymore? You don't know what's in this?" Another policeman suddenly changed his color. There is a large amount of gunpowder stored in Warehouse No. 4. Anything related to "fire" is everywhere around Warehouse No. 4.
They are not allowed to exist. The police are not even allowed to bring matches or lighters when they go to work.
"What are you afraid of? It's okay since we're so far away." It was probably because it was hard to control the craving for cigarettes. At first, the policeman insisted on having a cigarette.
"If you want to beat me, beat me yourself. If you want to die, don't beat me." Another policeman was firm and refused to go into the water.
"Then wait for me." The guy who was addicted to smoking ran to the corner and just took out the lighter when he heard a gentle voice.
"What are you doing?" The speaker was a Brad member wearing a black suit.
The policeman's hand trembled, and the cigarette and lighter fell to the ground at the same time.
The young Brad members looked helpless.
"Hug, I'm sorry, I'm really bored. I just want to take a cigarette to cheer me up." The policeman was very embarrassed. This kind of thing is actually normal, especially when he is on duty at night. As long as it is not excessive, everyone will usually open his mouth.
Close one eye.
Of course, smoking is absolutely not allowed around Warehouse No. 4. Smoking around Warehouse No. 4 is prohibited. In fact, the entire warehouse area is a no-smoking area. However, until a major accident is not caused, there will always be some people.
The regulations are not taken seriously.
"Hey, you know what you are doing, right? Go to the Military Justice Department tomorrow to report." Another Brad insisted on principles and would be punished if he made a mistake.
"Brother, I just wanted to smoke. I didn't light it up. I just took it out to satisfy my cravings." Another policeman was still loyal enough.
Brad, who insisted on his principles, still wanted to speak, but the other Brad was reasonable: "Hold on for a while, even if you want to smoke, you can wait until after get off work. You guys are going to change shifts soon, right?"
If the rules were strictly enforced, guys who wanted to smoke would have to live in a dark room tomorrow.
"There's still half an hour." The policeman had a handle and his attitude was very good.
The Brad members nodded without saying anything more, and the two Brad members walked directly to Warehouse No. 4.
The guy who just wanted to smoke to refresh himself suddenly became energetic. The smell of the small dark room was not pleasant.
Looking at the backs of the two Brad members, the policemen were very alert: "Big Head, go find the Sheriff for reinforcements."
"What's wrong?" The policeman who called Datou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"There was something wrong with those two guys just now."
"What's wrong?"
"You've been smoking so hard that you've lost your mind. If they were really Brad, would you have thought of getting past them easily just now?"
"Damn, you're right, wait for me," Datou said, and quickly went to find the police chief.
Two "Brad" members came to Warehouse No. 4, registered according to the procedures, and then prepared to enter Warehouse No. 4 to register supplies.
The police guarding Warehouse No. 4 had no suspicion. They had just shown their IDs and the verification was correct. The police had no reason to organize.
"Wait a minute." The police chief finally arrived: "I'm sorry, who are you?"
"This is our ID." The two Brad members showed their IDs at the same time.
The sergeant took over the documents for inspection, and then suddenly drew his gun: "Don't move, don't make it difficult for me, follow me, and wait for your identity to be verified. If you are really Brad, I will apologize to you. If you are not,
Haha, then you'd better seek happiness for yourself."
The two Bullard members did not expect that even though they had documents, the police chief would immediately draw his gun.
At this time, it was too late to resist. The surrounding police officers had already drawn out their weapons to grab him. As long as they dared to resist, even if they were really Brad, they would be beaten into a hornet's nest.
Soon, Wei Ding rushed to the scene. The people were indeed real, official Bullard members, but they should not have appeared in Port Edward. They were Bullard members affiliated with Little Rock. Even if they came to Edward on business,
Port, you must first report to the Bullard branch in Port Edward.
The information was immediately reported to Huo Zheng. By this time, the investigation results had come out. They were two moles who had been instigated by the War Office.
