Chapter 1539 Countdown

When Tang Li forced Johor to buy Tekong Island, Kaka of Christian Construction Company had already arrived in Lion City, and Christian Construction Company was responsible for the construction of the Changi Naval Base.

When he was still in Oak Town, Kaka and Yaya became Christian's right-hand man. In order to work better for Christian's company, Kaka changed his name to Carlos and was in charge of engineering construction.

"The previous design could not meet the Lord's requirements. Now we have to extend the wharf part to both sides, and the scale of the airport has to be further expanded. If Tekong Island is added, the cost will further increase." Chief engineer Anderson graduated from Niassa Lanzhou University School of Architecture, has participated in the reconstruction projects of San Roque and Luanda, and has extensive experience in port construction.

"You just modify the drawings according to the Lord's requirements, and then we will work together to find a way to complete it." Kaka never bargains when doing things, and engineering costs can be compressed.

Christian has now passed the stage of pursuing engineering profits. Making money is not Christian's only pursuit. Providing better services for the Southern African Federal Government, or Rock, is the goal of Christian's efforts.

Roque has already talked with Christian. After Roque becomes the Prime Minister of the South, Christian will also have the opportunity to enter the Southern African cabinet, so Christian is very motivated now. Even if the federal government does not give money, Christian will pay for the project. It's beautifully done.

The reason why Kaka is so confident has a lot to do with the conditions at Changi Naval Base.

While the British government has halted work on the Changi Naval Base expansion, much of the building material is already in place for the next phase of construction.

When Kaka came to Changi Naval Base, he saw a mountain of construction materials and many construction machinery were already in place.

It's a pity that these building materials and construction machinery are piled up in the open air on the seaside as if they don't need money, without any protection, and let the wind and rain blow, which is not allowed in southern Africa.

When Kaka and Anderson visited the site, the workers of Christian Construction Company had already started working, sorting out and protecting the building materials by category, testing and repairing construction machinery, and building houses for workers and project managers. The roads connecting the Lion City also need to be repaired.

After building so many cities and ports, Christian Construction Company already has a lot of experience in this area. San Rocco has become a standard model for port construction in Europe. It only needs to make appropriate modifications to the drawings to make it more suitable for the local area of ​​Lion City. environment, it can be directly applied.

For the construction of the Changi Naval Base, some of the workers used by Christian Construction Company were transferred from southern Africa, and some were recruited locally from the Lion City. The entire project requires tens of thousands of workers. The construction period is expected to be completed in two years and will be handed over by the end of 26 .

Of course, the overall delivery will be at the end of 26. It will definitely not take so long to reach the port. If it is just a port, it is estimated that it will be completed within next year.

Just when the workers were just starting to work, a car drove over at high speed and stopped directly beside Kaka and Anderson.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing, stop, stop immediately!" The guy in the co-pilot yelled as soon as he got out of the car, looking at Kaka with disgust.

Yes, that's the damn slave owner's eyes.

Kaka is African.

"Who are you?" Anderson is used to this kind of situation. Regardless of Kaka's high status in Christian Construction Company, but in the eyes of many white people, Kaka and other Africans who can drink around at will People are no different.

"I'm Judson from Gresham Construction Company. Stop your people. These construction materials and construction machinery are the property of our Gresham Construction Company." One of the construction companies for the expansion project, South Africa, terminated the contract with the previous construction company after taking over the project, and handed over all the projects to Christian Construction Company.

It seems that Judson is here to find fault. After all, although the Federal Government of Southern Africa has paid all the 1500 million pounds to the British government, the British government has not yet paid the previous balance to these construction companies.

The efficiency of the British government is not as high as that of the federal government of Southern Africa.

"Hello Judson, I'm Anderson from Christian Construction Company - Sorry, these building materials and construction machinery are now the property of our Southern African Federal Government, and the £1500 million we paid to the British Government has already transferred these building materials and construction machinery The cost of construction machinery is included." Anderson was mild-mannered, and he was the chief engineer, not the security officer.

"Don't talk nonsense with me. No one can move these building materials and construction machinery until we get the money we deserve." Judson also has no choice. Do not admit it.

Don't think that the mighty British Empire can't do this kind of thing. This is not without precedent. When it comes to eating everything and turning your face and denying people, the Russians are also younger brothers in front of the British.

"Roben—" Kaka didn't want to talk nonsense with Judson, so he raised his hand and called Robben, the security supervisor, over.

"Sir, did you leave on your own initiative, or did I send someone to throw you out?" Robben didn't talk nonsense with Judson. These bad debts are endlessly entangled. Christian Construction Company has no time. If you have any questions, please go to the British Prime Minister. Or the Governor of the Lion City.

"Who are you? How dare you talk to me with this attitude!" Judson didn't know enough about southern Africans, so this attitude was already good.

Robben didn't want to quarrel, so he raised his hand and called several security personnel with rifles on their backs, and Judson's face turned pale.

The so-called "security personnel" of Christian Construction Company are actually mercenaries of the umbrella company. Their work is not only security guards, but also supervisors and thugs, and they are responsible for some work that cannot be publicly acknowledged.

Otherwise, how could Christian Construction Company have so many cheap workers.

With this background, you know that these so-called security guards, in fact, everyone has seen blood. Most of them are white, and many of them are veterans who participated in the World War. Judson's skin, in these people There is no deterrent in front of you.

This is the same as Africans can't accept white people calling them "Nige". In fact, among Africans, they often joke about "Nige" with each other, and there is no problem at this time.

"Please, sir, please don't affect our work. If you have any questions, you can go to the Governor of Lion City, or our boss—" Robben looked indifferent, unless necessary, he would not come up and do it.

As I said before, the construction companies that are qualified to undertake such projects as the Changi Naval Base are basically the kind with good hands and eyes. Judson seems reckless and rude, and he may be a descendant of a run-down nobleman. Unless necessary, Robben will also It will not escalate the situation to an irreparable level.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. If you do it right away, you are not helping the boss solve the trouble, but making trouble for the boss.

"Who is your boss? I don't want to talk to you!" Judson's attitude finally got better. When he just got out of the car, he was full of curses.

"Our boss is Mr. Christian. He is now in Pretoria, Southern Africa. Go and find him—" Robben sent Judson to Southern Africa with one shot, and went to find him if he could.

Just as Robben and Judson were arguing, Kaka and Anderson had gone further and further with the drawings.

"Hey, come back—" Judson didn't want to waste time with Robben, and Robben had plenty of time to chat with him slowly.

"Heh—" Robben didn't talk nonsense, two security guards carried Judson into the back seat, and one security guard went directly to the driver's cab, cooperating very skillfully.

"Bastard, let me go! Damn it, don't touch my car—" Judson was about to go crazy, a man's car should be the same as his wife's, other people can see it, but they can't drive it.

The security guards didn't get angry, they stuffed Judson into the back seat happily, and then drove the car away.

When Judson came back the next day, he was surprised to find that a roadblock had been set up on the road leading to Changi Naval Base, and security personnel with live ammunition were on duty.

The security personnel here were replaced by Africans. No matter how furious Judson was, or even swearing, those security personnel just foolishly pretended not to understand, making Judson very angry.

Regardless of Judson's anger, work on the Changi Naval Base expansion has finally restarted with Christian Construction taking over the project.

And just when the Changi Naval Base was restarted, the British House of Commons started the general election at the fastest speed.

Just as in the last general election, many people did not expect that the Conservative Party would lose its majority in the House of Commons. In this general election, many people also did not expect the result.

In the last general election, the Conservative Party had only 258 seats in the House of Commons, while the Labor Party and the Liberal Party had 191 and 159 seats respectively.

In this general election, the Conservative Party increased its seats in the House of Commons to 413, a total increase of 155 seats; the Labor Party lost 40 seats, but still retained 151 seats; the Liberal Party lost 118 seats, losing more than 100 million votes, leaving only 40 seats, becoming the biggest loser.

On the day the election results came out, George V once again appointed Conservative Party leader Stanley Baldwin to form a cabinet.

For this result, Philip is probably the most depressed. He just went to the UK to attend the inauguration ceremony of Ramsey McDonald four months ago, and now he is going to the UK again to attend the inauguration ceremony of Stanley Baldwin.

And at the end of the year, general elections in southern Africa will also begin, and Philip's term of office has entered the countdown.
