1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 591, Big Development (3)

Nowadays, the development of Alaska has been going on for three years, and the port of Anchorage has become quite prosperous, and its prosperous level has even surpassed the gold rush period of the year. After all, at that time, although a lot of people came, these people only needed to bring a few things. Today, with the construction of oil fields, not only more people have come, but also more large-scale equipment.

During the gold rush many years ago, there were two sleigh rides in Anchorage Harbor, two hotels, and a custom entertainment institution run by the Japanese. There is also a grocery store and a food store selling all kinds of food. Adding the Shanghaimen’s restaurant, the dockworker’s restaurant and the dockworker’s residence, it is just a short street. Later, after the gold rush was over, the scale of Anchorage Harbor was further reduced, because when there were no tourists to go inland, the two sled shops were closed, and the two hotels were left with one. The remaining one merged with the Japanese customs and tourism agency, doing business with sailors on whaling ships. Of course, the Japanese customs and tourism agency has also carried out major layoffs. The younger and more beautiful service industry employees have left, and the rest are old, or too ugly, or old and ugly. Fortunately, sailors are generally not too picky. After a few months of drifting at sea, the sows have become Helen. So the business is still sustainable. Later, those who were left were either too old to be seamen’s grandmothers, so they had to retire, or they died in a foreign country far away from home due to certain occupational diseases. So the boss recruited a few more, but still, it was either old or ugly, or old and ugly.

But since the start of the large-scale development, the situation has been different. A large number of construction workers and a large number of ships have continuously arrived in Anchorage. This port town has expanded rapidly. In just three years, it has changed from A small town has become a modern city. There are more than 1,000 port workers working in the cargo port alone, and the scale of the terminal is still expanding. In the city, there are municipal governments, schools, power stations, police stations, courts and prisons, concrete roads, and several-story reinforced concrete buildings. For restaurants and hotels, double digits are used to calculate.

The custom tourism industry in Anchorage has also flourished. Although there are many women in Anchorage today, some people who have settled here, government officials, and port workers often bring their wives and children. But Anchorage is still a city where there are far more men than women, especially the number of middle-aged men far more than women.

Such a city will naturally bring a lot of security troubles. Although there were police stations, courts and prisons in the city, their effects were minimal. Fortunately, with the support of some particularly responsible citizens, an underground order was quickly established.

However, this is only a palliative solution. It is necessary to fundamentally solve… well, even crimes against men who are a little more neutral. It is necessary to block and sparse the crimes, and focus on dredging. Therefore, various customs and tourism industries prospered rapidly. Brings a lot of profits. Of course, because of this it brings about other new security problems.

…”Mr. Hannibal, there is another nightclub in the west of the city, owned by a German.” One person was reporting to Hannibal.

“These Germans are too much!” Andrei Mayakov gently said such a sentence from the corner of his mouth, “They have completely forgotten whose site this is.”

“Andre, that place is their site.” Dalton replied with a gloomy face.

“So what? They are provoking our business! If they can’t be severely taught, the Japanese will pay them protection fees in the future. Boss Hannibal, let’s do it, we can’t Let those Germans go crazy.”

Hannibal frowned and took the big pipe in his mouth.

“Andre, those Germans who dare to grab business with us are mostly prepared. You also know some people at the German-controlled ports. Go and check to see if the Germans are in collusion with the Germans. NS.”

“Are the Germans colluding with the Germans?” This is a very strange sentence. But in fact the second is not surprising at all. The “Germans” who robbed Hannibal and them for business were not real Germans, but a gang of German-Americans. And Hannibal suspected that the German they colluded with was the real German.

Today there are only two big gangs in Anchorage Port, one is a German gang dominated by Germans from United States, and the other is a Mafia dominated by Italian immigrants and Latin American immigrants. As for the other gangs, such as the Japanese and other United States gangs, they have long been wiped out in the fires in the past few years. Just like those Japanese guys who drove those low-end brothels for the lowest-level seamen, and there were also selling Hai Luo Yin, they actually formed a gang of themselves and refused to honestly give Mr. Hannibal to Mr. Hannibal. Protection fees. He even injured Mr. Hannibal’s little brother who kindly went to protect them with a samurai sword.

As a result, those Japanese who didn’t know the heights of the sky soon knew that gang confrontation is not something that can be played with a small knife. Mr. Hannibal quickly taught them how to mess with the underworld with submachine guns, machine guns, and infantry artillery. At the end of that conflict, when the remaining Japanese samurai hid in a very sturdy house and fought stubbornly, Mr. Hannibal’s men were out of the range of their pistols, swimming in front of them. Zai slowly assembled an infantry cannon and fired a shot against the house. Then the Japanese surrendered immediately.

Mr. Hannibal was never a broad-minded person. After the Japanese surrendered, they didn’t get any good results. There is a legend that these little Japan were taken by Mr. Hannibal to a quarry under their control, and then they were thrown into the stone crusher. Regarding this legend, Mr. Hannibal never admitted, but never denied it.

In the dark world, the reputation of brutality is very useful, it can make more people fear. Hannibal likes to be feared. But this time the opponent is not just a Japanese gang with pistols and samurai swords. That gang of “Germans” is not easy to provoke, although they have never used infantry guns in gang conflicts. Record, but they have a record of playing barbecue with flamethrower. Once, a fire broke out in a nightclub and nearly a hundred people died. The newspaper said that the fire was caused by improper management of open flames in the nightclub, but Mr. Hannibal knew that it was a good thing those “Germans” did with flamethrowers.

Today, the entire port basically has only these two forces left. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and conflicts between them are completely predictable.

…

In the winter, the night in Alaska comes very early, and it’s only five o’clock in the afternoon, and the sky is full of stars. Such a starry night will always be extraordinarily cold. So although there are street lights on the streets of Anchorage, there are not too many pedestrians. In addition, there was a notice from the municipal government that it was a routine overhaul at the power plant. After another half an hour, the electricity would be shut down for ten hours. Therefore, there were fewer people on the street.

However, the port has its own standby power generation equipment, which will not be affected too much. Even in the city, some places also have own power generation equipment, which is sufficient to cope with the power outages from time to time. For example, the office building of North Port Corporation, the tallest in the city, has its own power generation equipment.

Only a few minutes after the power outage, the diesel generators of the Northern Port Company began to rumble into operation, and then the lights in the building suddenly went out, but after only a second or two, the lights came on again. At this time, the entire city was completely dark, with only a limited number of buildings with lights on, just like a few boats with navigation lights on the sea in the dark.

“It’s almost off work. After a while, the vehicles picking up employees will go around from the north, don’t go south. There may be something to the south.” Port company manager Ma Long said to own assistant Terry.

“Okay sir, but there is a detour to the north, and the security situation in the north has never been very good.” Terry said.

“Tonight, the south side will be more insecure.” Ma Long replied.

“Could it be that the gang is fighting? But they are so close to the port, don’t they worry about the port guard interfering?” Terry was a little worried.

“The Port Guard? If the Port Guard did not give them the green light, they would not be able to fight together.” Ma Long said disapprovingly.

Terry immediately became interested, like this kind of story, especially the story of someone who is not on his own side, who doesn’t like to listen to it? He immediately asked: “Why the port guard…”

At this time, gunshots suddenly came from the south, first with the crisp crackling of a rifle, and then the vague rush of a submachine gun. Then there was a sound similar to a chainsaw.

“This is the sound of a Macdonald Qi Leng type 1 machine gun. Hell, when did they have everything attached?” Terry had seen this type of heavy machine gun when he was watching their shooting training at the port guard before. The sound of a chainsaw made a deep impression on him. At the time, a commander of the escort told him that this was because the rate of fire of this machine gun was so high that human ears could no longer distinguish individual gunshots.

“Did the port guard also participate?” Terry thought. At this time, there was the roar of artillery, and it was not the crisp sound of the 75 infantry gun, but a much lower sound.

“This is the sound of the port guard’s 105mm gun. What are the port guards doing?” Terry thought.
