When Bradley and Douglas rushed to the hospital, Haydn had already died.
"It must be that bastard Birrell Page who did it. My father unanimously opposed the establishment of an arsenal. It must be that bastard Page -" Leander's face was filled with grief and anger. His wife and three children were crying beside Haydn's body.
There was an atmosphere of sadness in the ward.
Bradley and Douglas looked at each other with complicated expressions in their eyes.
What did you do?
Not really!
That's good--
A casual glance can exchange a lot of information.
There was a rush of footsteps, and Isaiah Chamberlain and Isaac Pansy arrived hand in hand, and of course Birrell Page.
"You bastard, how dare you show up!" Leander pointed at Birrell Page's nose and yelled.
"Calm down, Leandre, I can guarantee that it is definitely not Birrell Page-" After Isaiah Chamberlain finished speaking, he looked at Douglas, his eyes full of suspicion and disgust.
Agents, no one likes them.
And Douglas also has enough suspicions. Assassinating Haydn at this time will further intensify the contradiction. Once the Republic of Congo loses control, then Southern Africa will have a reason to directly use the army.
Southern Africa has too many interests in the Republic of Congo. If the Republic of Congo becomes unstable, then Southern Africa can directly send troops to safeguard the interests of Southern African companies in the Republic of Congo.
This is not surprising and is consistent with the British style.
"The person who died was my father. I couldn't calm down. Who else could he be?" Leandre collapsed emotionally. Haydn was the anchor of the McAdam family. After losing Haydn, the McAdam family would inevitably be marginalized in the Republic of Congo.
"Mr. Leander, if it were me, at least I would not assassinate Speaker Haydn in such a shameless way. You can distrust me, but you can't insult me!" Birrell Page looked ugly. He was indeed the most suspected, and he could not defend himself.
.
"That's enough. If we disorganize ourselves, then it will be what our enemies want." Isaac Pansy is still reasonable, and attacking each other like this will not solve the problem.
"Mr. Douglas, do you have any information over there?" Although Isaiah Chamberlain hated Douglas, he had to rely on the intelligence from Brad's office.
"No, if I had the information here, I wouldn't allow this to happen." Douglas was also suspected. Haydn asked Douglas to have dinner at night, and Douglas knew Haydn's whereabouts.
When leaving the hospital, Douglas and Bradley took the same car back to the embassy.
The Embassy of Southern Africa in the Republic of Congo is right opposite President Boma's official residence, which fully demonstrates the importance of Southern Africa to the Republic of Congo.
"Do you think so?" Bradley asked Douglas for his opinion.
"After Haydn's death, whoever gets the most benefit will be the most suspect." Douglas said calmly. If he calculated it this way, then the person most suspected should be Augustus, the leader of the Congolese Party.
According to the Constitution of the Republic of Congo, if the speaker dies unexpectedly, the leader of the majority party in Congress will temporarily take over as speaker until a new speaker is elected.
"It's not that simple. Unless Augustus is crazy, he will kill Haydn at this time." Bradley shook his head slightly. The current situation is a bit complicated. There are many suspects and everyone is suspicious of each other.
"It should still have something to do with the arsenal, could it be the Americans?" Douglas said directly. The Americans were also very suspicious. If the relationship between southern Africa and the Republic of Congo deteriorates, then the Americans can profit from it.
The American ambitions can be seen from the sale of machines to the Republic of Congo.
"It's possible, do you have any information there?" Bradley, like Isaya Chamberlain, believes that Brad's office should be omnipotent.
"No, it's just a possibility." Douglas was just skeptical. At least so far, there is no evidence pointing to the Americans.
The killer's technique was very simple. All three shots hit Haydn's vital parts. No bullet casings were left at the scene. The assassin may have used a revolver. The current technical level is not enough to detect the traces of the warhead. It is very difficult to trace the murderer through the bullets.
The Republic of Congo, like southern Africa, also prohibits guns, which makes the investigation more difficult.
The wealthy area where Haydn was located was sparsely populated, and there were no witnesses at the scene. Haydn's secretary and guards provided very limited information. They only knew that the assassin was a white man, about thirty years old, with a medium build. The assassin was wearing a hat at the time, and even the color of his hair was unknown.
Do not know at all.
"What I'm most worried about now is the arsenal. If Chamberlain and Pansy insist on going their own way, it will definitely seriously affect the relationship between the Republic of Congo and southern Africa." Bradley frowned, and the deterioration of relations between the two countries also meant that
Bradley's dereliction of duty.
"Haha, don't worry, the arsenal will never be built." The stern look in Douglas's eyes flashed away. He dared to do something under the nose of Brad's office. It would be too disrespectful to take Brad's office seriously.
As the car drove into the embassy, Goldman Sachs, the military attache of the embassy, looked solemn.
"Sir, starting from this afternoon, there will be a lot of military police around our embassy. I suggest that a team of mercenaries from the umbrella company be transferred to strengthen the security of the embassy." Goldman Sachs had bulging bags under his suit, obviously wearing weapons.
"Don't worry, Gao. If the Republic of the Congo dares to attack the embassy, it will be equivalent to declaring war on southern Africa. They don't have the guts." Bradley looked down on the Republic of the Congo and borrowed their courage. They didn't dare to go to the Republic of Congo.
The embassy launched an attack.
According to Rock's original plan, Bullard's office was primarily responsible for domestic intelligence and operations, with the umbrella responsible for foreign intelligence and operations.
Now that the Umbrella Company is powerful and has attracted strong attention from all parties, it is very difficult to obtain intelligence. Brad has also begun to infiltrate the outside world, which overlaps with the functions of Umbrella to a certain extent.
After returning to the embassy, Bradley reported the situation back home.
The next day, Bradley received a reply from Pretoria that the Speaker of the Southern African Congress, Buck, would visit the Republic of Congo.
Amazingly, this is the first time in Southern Africa that a national leader at the level of Speaker of Parliament has gone abroad for an official visit. When Philip was Speaker, the diplomacy of Southern Africa was controlled by the British, and the Speaker did not even have the power to conduct foreign visits.
Although there were some problems in relations with southern Africa, the Republic of Congo did not dare to neglect Buck's visit. On May 3, Buck arrived in the Republic of Congo by special plane and began a three-day visit to the Republic of Congo.
Isaiah Chamberlain and Isaac Pansy held a grand welcome ceremony for Buck at the airport.
Isaac Pansy accompanied Buck to review the guard of honor at the airport, and invited Buck to take the presidential limousine and go to the presidential residence with Isaac Pansy.
On the way to the President's Mansion, Isaac Pansy and Buck had a brief exchange.
"The Republic of the Congo now has 100,000 troops, and the troops consume a lot of bullets, so we want to set up an arsenal to only produce bullets and explosives to meet the needs of the troops-" Isaac Pansy looked at Buck carefully, looking at Buck a little.
complex.
Excluding Roark, Buck was the first Chinese-American to enter the leadership of Southern Africa. Isaac Pansy had never dealt with Buck before, so he did not know Buck's character, and the information he had about Buck was extremely limited.
"Haha, Mr. President, the quality of the bullets produced in Southern Africa is not good enough?" Buck went straight to the point. Over the years in Southern Africa, Buck had gradually become accustomed to the white people's way of doing things, and he was not good at diplomatic rhetoric.
Most of the time, diplomatic rhetoric is concise and concise, and we try to avoid misunderstandings caused by inaccurate wording.
"It's not—" Isaac Pansy smiled reluctantly.
"So the price in southern Africa is too high?" The smile on the corner of Buck's mouth was slightly sarcastic. The president sounds very powerful. In fact, in front of Buck, the speaker, the president of the Republic of Congo really has no right to be proud.
"It's not—" The smile on Isaac Pansy's face solidified.
"Then I'm curious, why do you have to build an arsenal?" Buck also couldn't figure out what went crazy with Isaiah Chamberlain and Isaac Pansy.
"Can't you?" Isaac Pansy suddenly lost his mind.
Buck frowned, took a deep look at Isaac Pansy, and then nodded slightly: "Well, okay--"
Children cannot be taught.
Rotten wood cannot be carved.
That's all, it's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, and she can't stop her even if she wants to die.
"We didn't mean anything else, just some bullets and explosives, and the weapons still have to be purchased from southern Africa -" Isaac Pansy realized his mistake only later.
Buck just nodded and said nothing.
In the evening, the Republic of Congo held a grand welcome dinner for Buck. In addition to officials from the Republic of Congo, there were also leaders from all walks of life in attendance, with a total of hundreds of people.
Buck made a brief speech at the dinner. Apart from that, Buck said less than ten sentences during the entire dinner.
In the evening, Buck did not stay at the State Guesthouse in the Republic of Congo, but at the Rhodesia Hotel.
Later, Douglas and Bradley arrived at the Rhodesia Hotel.
"Everyone, sit down and tell me what you all know about the situation and your evaluation of Isaac Pansy and Isaiah Chamberlain." Buck didn't have time to figure it out. After visiting the Republic of Congo, Buck still wanted to
Visit the Kingdom of Congo, Kingdom of Mozambique, and then cross the Indian Ocean to visit East India.
Buck's trip is both a conciliation and a demonstration. If the Republic of Congo takes a firm stance, then Buck may have to give Isaac Pansy and Isaiah Chamberlain a good beating.
