Chapter 445

The Japanese government received a total of 350 million pounds in loans from the Rand Bank one after another. The money went around in the market, and most of it returned to Rock's account.

The result was a happy one. The agricultural associations and factories got lucrative orders, the Japanese government got much-needed war supplies, the Rock and Rand Bank got profits, and the city government got a lot of tax from it. million pounds of orders excitedly.

In fact, the profit of this batch of orders is too rich. The profit of the order of medicine starts at [-] times, the profit of the order of arms starts at [-] times, and the profit of the order of potatoes is more than five times.

There is no way, the potatoes in Johannesburg were too cheap before. If it weren’t for the distillery, potatoes were needed to brew vodka, which has almost reached the point where no one cares. This batch of orders is a timely help for the Japanese government. For Johannesburg ——

Well, that's icing on the cake at best.

The key point that makes the whole Johannesburg excited is that Yamaguchi Kisho promised that the Japanese government will have follow-up orders in the future, which is the most anticipated.

As far as Rock knew, the Russo-Japanese War would continue for another ten months, so such business still had to be done in the future.

Rock's attitude towards the Japanese is completely different from that towards the Russians.

Constantine hoped that Roque could deliver the goods to Lushun, but Roque directly refused.

Yamaguchi Kisho didn't even offer to ask Rock to help with the delivery, and Rock took the initiative to take on this responsibility.

If you don’t allow them to be delivered, you won’t be able to do so. When Nyasaland’s immigrant boats go to the Qing Dynasty, they are often filled with potatoes. Don’t underestimate these potatoes. They can solve most of the immigration costs. When the war in the north of the Qing Dynasty was the worst, a small bag of potatoes would be enough Change someone.

These immigrants are high-quality resources, most of them are underage girls. Many of them are studying in language schools in Nyasaland. When the language barrier is solved, they will enter the schools in batches. Hospitals and factories start a new life. These people are like "orphans" in Nyasaland. They will be Rock's most loyal supporters in the future.

As the immigration in the north is stuck in a bottleneck, the role of potatoes is not as good as before, and the motivation of immigration companies to accept potatoes is also decreasing. Rock just uses these immigration ships to send the goods ordered by the Japanese government to the Far East. Yamaguchi Kisho can't refuse , which is one of the conditions of the order.

On the Russian side, Sam also gained a lot. Constantine requested a wide variety of commodities, and he needed to replenish them in the waters near Madagascar.

This requirement is a bit forbidden, so the profit of the whole order is even more lucrative. The total order amount from Russia has reached a huge one million pounds. After calculating the whole order, most of it is profit, which makes Sam almost ecstatic.

For the Airborne Umbrella Company, Sam is also trembling as if facing the abyss, and devotes himself to the development of the Umbrella Company every day.

Now there is no need to worry about this problem. After being in contact with the Russians, Sam seems to have discovered a vast new world with great potential!

When Sam was in a good mood, Xia Jiu felt ashamed.

Xia Jiu was in charge of monitoring Bruce Hughes himself.

I offended Roque in Johannesburg. It is estimated that no one can sleep at night, so Bruce Hughes is very careful. After performing their duties, other congressmen are desperately seeking interests for the power group behind them. Bruce Hughes He didn't dare to do it. He was like a marionette who could only raise his hand in the parliament. He didn't even dare to speak. Such a member of parliament didn't know what the meaning was in front of him.

It is estimated that Bruce Hughes has regretted it now, but it is a pity that there is no turning back. After getting on the broken ship of Arnold, Bruce Hughes will go all the way to the dark.

"This guy is a tortoise with his head in his shell. He sent his whole family to Cape Town. He has no servants at home in Johannesburg. He has no friends in Johannesburg. He never goes to any parties. Without contact with anyone, we can't catch his sore feet." Lu Si felt that he had nowhere to speak, and he was so cautious that he was a talent like Bruce Hughes.

After Sam came to the Umbrella Company, Xia Jiu's position was adjusted to the head of the intelligence department. This job is actually more suitable for Xia Jiu. Xia Jiu is also at home in this position, and can maximize what Xia Jiu has learned in the War Office.

It's a pity that there has been no progress with Bruce Hughes, which made Xia Jiu very angry.

"This guy is a frog. If you don't poke him, you won't jump. If you don't make trouble, let's help him do something." Xia Jiu decided to take some abnormal measures and no longer wait passively.

"How?" Lu Si was still inferior to Xia Jiu in this regard.

"We have to find a way to make him make mistakes—" Xia Jiu didn't have a plan yet, but he already had an idea.

"Jiuye, there are Russians living in the De Beers Hotel." Ding Mao, the leader of the intelligence department, had an idea. His name is really simple, and he was probably born in the year of Ding Mao.

"What happened to the Russians?" Lu Si hadn't turned his head around yet.

"Sam is doing business with the Russians. London must not know about this business. If we tell Bruce Hughes the news—" Ding Mao was a little sinister. Yes, many people will be unlucky.

"No, no, if it doesn't work, it will cause trouble for the Sir, so we can't take any risks." Xia Jiu knew the seriousness.

"Then don't tell Bruce Hughes, go directly to the Russians, just say that Bruce Hughes already knows, and let the Russians deal with Bruce Hughes—" Edward, the leader of the second team, was even more ruthless. There is a fight for "unnecessary".

Edward is also Chinese, and his real name is definitely not this. Edward is the name he gave himself, because the current king of England is called Edward.

This is not illegal in the UK.

"That's it!" Xia Jiu made a decision, and was more satisfied with Edward's plan. As expected, one person counts the short and the other counts the long.

Konstantin has been enjoying himself in Johannesburg for the past few days. Compared with Johannesburg, Russia is too cold and does not have as many entertainment facilities as Johannesburg. Even the harsh sunshine in Johannesburg makes Konstantin intoxicated. This guy My favorite is to stay on the roof of the De Beers Hotel, take off my clothes and bask in the sun for a whole day.

After confirming the business contract with Sam, Constantine has already paid a deposit of [-] pounds. Constantine will not leave Johannesburg until the supplies are completed.

In fact, Russia is even preparing to set up a permanent consulate in Johannesburg. If nothing else, Constantine is the first consul.

Not ambassadors and ministers. Johannesburg does not have the right to establish diplomatic relations with Russia. Even if the Transvaal is autonomous in the future, it is estimated that the Transvaal will not have diplomatic rights.

Not an estimate, but an affirmation. Diplomacy and declaration of war are the two most important rights. Once the Commonwealth of Nations obtains these two rights, it may cause huge troubles to the British Empire, so the British government will definitely not take these two rights. Let the rights go.

For Johannesburg, a consular rank is enough, and Constantine can sunbathe every day.

"Sir, someone asked me to give this to you." An attendant woke Constantine, who was half asleep, and handed Constantine an envelope.

"Who is it?" Constantine didn't answer.

"It was a staff member of the Johannesburg council. He showed his badge, and then he left." If it weren't for that badge, the attendant would not have dared to wake Constantine.

"The parliament is a bunch of guys with broken heads—" Constantine complained, and opened the envelope casually.

Then I fell off the couch in fright.

"Quickly, go prepare a car, a carriage is also fine, go to the umbrella company, go to the umbrella company to find Sam." Constantine was incoherent.

The De Beers Hotel is indeed very powerful. Rock has not yet used a car, and the De Beers Hotel can already provide vehicle services for guests.

The whole journey was fast, and when he saw Sam, the fat on Constantine's face was trembling.

"Bruce Hughes is a member of Parliament in Johannesburg?" Constantine wanted to confirm the authenticity. In Johannesburg, Sam was Constantine's most trusted person, and the two of them were grasshoppers on a rope.

"Yes, you know?" Sam didn't know what happened yet.

"The relationship between Bruce Hughes and the Lord is not very good?" Constantine's face was gloomy. No matter who it is, as long as the interests of the Russian Empire are endangered, Constantine will block people and kill people, and Buddha will block and kill Buddha.

"It's true that the relationship is not very good, because of the relationship of the Socialist Party, and the leader of the Socialist Party is also a member of the Matilda family, so it is difficult for Sir Sir to deal with it." Sam noticed Constantine's abnormality and subconsciously asked: "What happened? "

Constantine didn't speak, and handed the letter in his pocket to Sam.

After Sam read the letter, he remained calm and returned the letter to Constantine. Sam rested his chin in thought.

"Will Bruce Hughes really report to the British government?" Constantine is not stupid, no matter whether this is a murder with a borrowed knife, Constantine dare not risk the interests of the empire.

"It's hard to say, it depends on Congressman Arnold's control over the Socialist Party." Sam was also thinking about countermeasures, grabbed the phone on the table and was about to call Rock.

"Don't worry, we can't pin our hopes on others." Constantine said decisively that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. According to the letter, only Bruce Hughes knows now. If the delay leads to the spread of news , then everything is over.

"What do you want to do?" Sam felt a chill run down his spine. Politics is indeed cruel.

"Don't worry about it, just tell me where Bruce Hughes is." Constantine wants to use the way of fighting nations to deal with this problem.
