Two days later, in a warehouse on the outskirts of Liverpool, Thomas Shelby and his men saw the first batch of goods - a whole warehouse full of cans and cigarettes.
In addition, there are three hundred guns and ammunition.
This is also what the Shelby family needs extra.
Don't think that because they are the biggest gangster in the UK, it will be easy for them to get guns.
But in fact, the United Kingdom has always had much stricter gun control than the United States.
During the war, before the arrival of the US military, the British army had always implemented strict military control on the mainland, which made it even more difficult to obtain weapons.
The few firearms currently owned by the Shelby family are the remaining stocks before the war, and the ammunition is very insufficient.
Without weapons, goods cannot be protected well.
Of course, Josh wouldn't mind such a reasonable request. It just so happened that he did have some weapons in stock in his system warehouse, so there was nothing wrong with selling some of them to Shelby.
Looking at the warehouse full of goods, Shelby was filled with emotion. This was the first time in four years that he was so wealthy!
If these things were placed before the war, they would actually be nothing to the family, but now, they are life!
But no matter how tempting these goods were, Shelby never had the idea of cheating on them.
No, it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare!
Because just outside the warehouse, a whole platoon of US troops was guarding the warehouse.
This group of U.S. troops is the result of the officers Qiao Xi befriended on the plane.
One of the troops belonging to an army lieutenant company commander is stationed just outside Liverpool, ten kilometers away from this warehouse.
With just a few bottles of good wine, the lieutenant arranged for a platoon to "exercise"!
Under such circumstances, Shelby would not dare to take advantage of others even if he had the guts to do so.
In terms of soldier quality, American soldiers are only so good, but in terms of firepower, the United States has become world-famous in the three years since it entered the war.
Although there are only about thirty people in a platoon, in addition to the basic standard Garand and Thomson, they are also equipped with at least two light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, and three mortars.
This kind of configuration allows a group of gangsters to go out and take advantage of others?
He Shelby is not Captain America, he can fight a hundred.
Moreover, if there is a conflict and a few American soldiers are injured or killed, Birmingham will be directly occupied by the US military the next day... Qiaoxi naturally does not have that much influence, but he can't stand up to the US military to protect his shortcomings!
"Mr. Shelby, I'll leave these goods to you. I'm waiting for your good news in London." After inspecting the goods, Lyndon proudly said to Shelby.
"Of course, the Shelby family values your friendship very much. We will do our best to collect the payment within a week!" Shelby nodded and shook hands with Lyndon, but his eyes did not move.
His voice swept over Josie, who was standing not far behind Linden.
Although Lyndon Schneider's performance is impeccable.
But Thomas Shelby still had an intuition that the identity of this young assistant might not be simple.
After handing over the goods to Shelby, Josh and the others withdrew with a platoon of American soldiers.
I have to say that in this era, it is really cool to be on the territory of the Allied forces, wearing American tiger skin and running rampant.
"Boss, he seems to have noticed it!" Lyndon said to Josie next to him as he sat unsteadily on the jeep.
"You can see it if you can see it. As long as he is smarter, he will swallow this matter in his belly!" Qiao Xi chuckled and said not caring much.
To be honest, in the UK, if it weren't for the fact that he could continue doing business after the war, Qiao Xi really didn't have too many scruples.
These days, as an American and a material supplier to the military, he has a fairly good relationship with the military. As long as Josie is not crazy enough to cause trouble with the royal family, no matter how big a trouble is in the UK,
, it's just an extradition, is he afraid of a hammer?
After taking care of the Razor Party's sub-seller, Qiao Xi and the others headed to London the next day.
The goods given to the Razor Party are mostly low-end goods.
After all, the level of gangsters is there, but the British have plundered the world for hundreds of years, and their background is very deep. Even ordinary people, many people have accumulated considerable wealth. Throughout World War II, many British citizens were not short of money.
There is just a shortage of supplies. During this period, any ship loaded with supplies that comes to the UK can be sold for several or ten times the price within a few days. It is not unaffordable, only unavailable.
This is the disadvantage of an island country. Once it is blocked, supplies from outside cannot come in, and even if you have money, you cannot buy food.
But as long as the blockade is over, Britain will be able to recover very quickly given its background... Just after World War II, Britain's economy recovered the fastest in the world except the United States, because it has money at home and supplies in its colonies.
The real reason for its decline was actually caused by a series of waves of colonial independence in the 1950s and the subsequent deindustrialization.
What Qiao Xi has to do now is to take a small amount of pocket money from the pockets of these British guys in advance.
However, Qiao Xi's system warehouse also has a large number of high-end goods, high-end candies, chocolates, cigars, canned fruits, drinks and even fresh fruits, beef, sheep and pork.
These things are not something that ordinary British people can digest. Only by selling them to the rich and powerful in London can the benefits be maximized.
This requires cooperation with the big trading houses in London, as Shelby said before. Josie can't bring someone to sell door to door, because she can't afford to lose that person.
Because it was a few days late, when Josie and the others arrived in London, the girls from the film company had already begun to participate in touring performances in various military camps under the arrangement of the labor organization. They were very busy every day, so they were not in the hotel where they were stationed.
I won't be back until tonight.
But when the girls came back at night, Josie immediately discovered a problem.
"Where are Whitney and Angela?" Looking at the girls entering the hotel one by one, Josie frowned and asked the two bodyguards who were traveling with the group. Lyndon Schneider's expression was also a little ugly.
"Sorry, sir, after Ms. Whitney arrived in London, she got into a heated relationship with Howard Stark, while Angela got very close to a colonel named Joseph Kennedy. It's not that we didn't stop it.
But the two ladies are voluntary, and there is nothing we can do..." The two bodyguards looked at Josie and Lyndon with some embarrassment.
But the main thing is Lyndon, because they know that Whitney and Josie only have a purely employment relationship. Even if Whitney plays poker with Howard, the green one is still the rich boyfriend in the United States, and has nothing to do with Josie.
.
But there is no doubt that Linden’s cuckolding is real.
And there is really nothing the two bodyguards can do to stop this. Angela volunteers and the other party is a US military colonel. What can they do?
In response, Josie could only cast a sympathetic look at Lyndon, whose face was pale and pale.
Tsk tsk, this kind of dodder is definitely not a peaceful person.
It's just that Joseph Kennedy...isn't this the boss of the one Kennedy added who exploded in the sky in England?
