The military flags of the Ministry of National Defense are also spray-painted on military vehicles. Don’t underestimate such a symbol. It costs about ten rands to spray one, which is about the annual salary of an African.
When the convoy entered the city, there were mounted policemen riding police motorcycles at the front to clear the way. Johannesburg was the first and so far the only city in Southern Africa to eliminate military horses and use all police motorcycles.
The style of police motorcycles looks much larger than ordinary motorcycles. The blue and white colors are very eye-catching. The mounted policemen wear helmets, sunglasses, and silver-white long-barreled cowboy revolvers. They look very cold.
It fits the image of a violent organization.
"Our military police can do the same." Klaus finally figured it out. If you stick your head out, it's a knife. If you shrink your head, it's a knife. Let's go to the Rhodesia Hotel for a meal first.
Klaus's military rank is major, and his annual salary is about 250 rand. It is not affordable to go to the Rhodesia Hotel, but it will definitely make Klaus feel painful.
"Such a look is really cool in the city, but if you go to the battlefield, you will be killed by the enemy in minutes." Joey was not angry. Everything in the army is based on practicality and does not engage in these fancy gimmicks.
When they arrived at the Rhodesia Hotel, the convoy did not stop at the front door, but entered the parking lot directly. Gothe led Joey and the others directly into the elevator from the parking lot.
"We are all wearing uniforms, so we still have to pay attention to the impact." Gao De still wanted to explain, so that Joey wouldn't think too much.
"Thank you -" Joey thanked him sincerely. It really doesn't look good to enter the hotel directly from the front door in his uniform.
Journalists in Southern Africa are very knowledgeable and never write things that should not be written. They are particularly tolerant of the police and military professions. There has never been any negative news related to these two professions in newspapers.
But you still have to be careful. A scandal has just broken out in the military. Although there is no newspaper report, the news is inevitably spreading gradually. Don’t forget that southern Africans are also British, and the British gossip about nobles and government officials.
He's very enthusiastic, so it's better to be careful.
The interior decoration of the Rhodesia Hotel must be all kinds of splendid, but Joey and Klaus are people who have seen the world, and they are not too curious about this kind of decoration. The group went directly to the private room, and there was no waiter throughout the process.
Can't even see it.
Because they had to work in the afternoon, no one drank. The service at the Rhodesia Hotel was indeed good, and the simple work meals were also delicious. However, everyone was preoccupied and a little unsatisfied. After the meal, Joey was not in a hurry.
Instead of going to the Johannesburg Textile Company, Klaus asked Klaus to go to the Textile Company first and call Leander, the military representative of the Ministry of Defense assigned to the Textile Company.
"Absolutely impossible!" Leander already knew about this, and his position was very firm: "All the products provided by Johannesburg Textile Company have always been in full compliance with the relevant requirements of the Ministry of Defense. We have a total of 18 people, scattered among the factories produced by Johannesburg Textile Company.
We supervise all aspects of the process, from wool acquisition to finished product delivery, and we dare not slack off for a moment. Your asking this is an insult to all our supervisors——"
Leander was simply furious. The Ministry of National Defense had six divisions, and the one responsible for equipment and supplies was the Third Division, and Leander was also from the Third Division.
Joey is from the Fourth Division.
"So where is the problem?" Joey was also helpless. Regardless of whether the Third Department or the Fourth Department is responsible for this matter, it is the Ministry of National Defense's fault and cannot be shaken off.
Even the problem of the Johannesburg Textile Company is the fault of the Ministry of Defense. At the very least, it cannot be blamed on weak supervision.
"How do I know? We are only responsible for supervising the production process of Johannesburg Textile Company. I can guarantee that every product shipped from the factory is of qualified quality. We must personally inspect every batch of products before signing on the list. Once there is a problem
, We military representatives are the first responsible persons, do you think we will neglect our duties?" Although Leander was angry, he was not anxious at all.
After the establishment of the Ministry of National Defense, Roque seconded legal experts from the Ministry of Justice to design an accountability system for the Ministry of Defense. This accountability system is lifelong, whether it is the construction of the Ministry of National Defense's camps or the supply of materials to the Ministry of National Defense, every link
There are corresponding responsible persons for supervision, so that if a problem occurs, there will be no situation where the responsible person cannot be found, so Leander is really not panicking. When the Ministry of National Defense took away the products from the Johannesburg Textile Company, the receiving personnel were also
If you need to sign after inspection, as long as no problems are found at the time, then Leander will no longer be responsible for problems that arise later.
"Of course I believe you will not neglect your duties, but since the problem occurred, someone must have made a mistake. Our task now is to find the source of the problem." Klaus was taking notes when Joey asked, and asked according to regulations
A third party must be present when doing so, otherwise it will be a violation of regulations.
"The batch of materials sent to the 101st Division was not produced by the Johannesburg Textile Company at all -" Leander finally provided an important piece of information.
"How do you know?" Joey cheered up.
"I am friends with Terry, the logistics director of the 101st Division. Terry called me when he discovered the quality problem, and then I went to the 101st Division's station. The blankets issued by the 101st Division even had the label of the Johannesburg Textile Company on them.
There are none, and the packaging is crude and rough. They are actually big bags one after another. The products delivered to the Ministry of Defense by the Johannesburg Textile Company are all packaged in cartons. Where are those cartons now?" Leander is full of confidence. Big companies are big companies. In
We attach great importance to these details, and now they have become evidence.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Joey was angry. If he had known about this situation earlier, Joey wouldn't have had to make this trip.
"You didn't ask me -" Leander was confident. Others may be afraid of the Special Investigation Team, but Leander is not.
They are all from the Ministry of National Defense, so no one has to be afraid of anyone else. If his special investigation team dares to operate in violation of regulations, Leander can also file a complaint with his superiors.
"You can do it!" Joey was not in the mood to argue with Leander. Leander had already gone to the 101st Division. Joey was worried about alerting the enemy and letting the real criminal escape the law.
On the way back to Pretoria, Klaus truly came to life.
"Thank God, the Johannesburg Textile Company is fine -" Klaus whistled happily, feeling very happy.
"Shut up, our troubles are not over yet." Joey's mood became more relaxed, and he still felt a little regretful.
If possible, Joey really hopes it's the Johannesburg Textile Company's problem.
Although the reputation of the Rocks will definitely be damaged, if the Johannesburg Textile Company is cleared of suspicion, then the problem must lie with the Ministry of Defense, which is what Joy does not want to see.
"What does that have to do with it? Our current troubles are completely different from the troubles caused by problems with the Johannesburg Textile Company. I would rather have problems with our Ministry of Defense than with problems with the Johannesburg Textile Company." Klaus's starting point was the same as Joe's.
It's just the opposite.
"Klaus, don't forget that you are also a soldier." Joey was speechless.
"Joy, I have not forgotten that I am a soldier. If the Johannesburg Textile Company is responsible, I will truthfully write it down and report it to the Lord, and then accept the judgment of fate. It is best this way. The Johannesburg Textile Company has no responsibility. Let's find the real person."
criminal, and then bring him to justice." Klaus was high-spirited and didn't think there was anything wrong with his previous fear.
Only then did Joey realize that Klaus's mentality was what a normal person should have, and Joey's mentality was obviously a bit unbalanced.
In a sense, Roque and the Ministry of National Defense have long been integrated. As Deputy Minister of Defense, Roque has always been the spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense and the military in Southern Africa. The Ministry of National Defense can cause problems, but Roque cannot.
If something goes wrong, it will affect the overall image of the Ministry of National Defense.
It’s still a question of influence. If a staff member of the Ministry of National Defense commits a crime, then the Ministry of National Defense’s handling of the crime in accordance with the law would be an act of righteousness and annihilation of relatives.
But if there is a problem with Rock, then there is no need to wash it.
"Where are we going now?" Klaus was very positive now.
"Back to Pretoria, we need to report to the Lord first." Joey adjusted his mentality. According to the process, he should continue to investigate, but Joey decided to report to Roque first. In a sense, this is good news. p>
Although Roark already knew the whole story, he was still a little happy when he heard the news and decided to go back from get off work immediately to tell Phyllis the "good news".
"Humph, I know, I've always been sure that the company is fine." Phyllis was very arrogant, her eyes were obviously filled with joy and couldn't suppress it.
"Okay, okay, I know you are great." Rock admitted his mistake for his doubts, although it seemed unnecessary.
As a woman, you should coax when you need to coax and praise when you need to praise. Only in this way can the family be harmonious.
When he went to work the next day, Rock saw Congreve, the director of the Third Division who looked unwilling.
"When we went to arrest Scripps, Scripps had already run away. We found a forged inventory of supplies at his residence. The supplies in the inventory should have been resold by Scripps. We are tracing the whereabouts of the supplies."
Congreve was really unwilling, and the many problems exposed by this incident are worth pondering.
"Then continue to investigate. It is impossible for so many things to disappear. Another question is, why can a warehouse manager dump out the materials in the combat readiness warehouse so easily? I want to thank Scripps.
What he dumped out were just some blankets. What if Scripps dumped out weapons and ammunition, Congreve, what do you think?" Rock is not pursuing responsibility, it is necessary to find out and fill in the gaps.
"I'm sorry, Minister, after Scripps is caught, I will take the initiative to resign -" Congreve was also very guilty. Someone must be responsible for this matter. If it's not Congreve, it can only be Rock.
