Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 672

In just one day, the wharf, which was originally dilapidated, dirty and full of garbage, took on a new look.

At the end of the afternoon, Benson Taugherty suspected that the ground near the pier might be cleaner than his desk.

Under the strict supervision of the mercenaries, the local residents who voluntarily or unwillingly participated in the labor carried out a thorough cleaning of the pier. The garbage dumps that had been there for many years and exuded stench all day long were cleaned up and then sprinkled with white ash, and the streets were cleaned. After cleaning, the blue-gray slate underneath was exposed. The so-called dead corners of hygiene not only include the back of the corner house, but also the garbage on the roof. The mercenaries even cut down two big trees that had been dead for many years. All the dilapidated and unsightly shacks were also demolished, and it is said that the wharf management office will be built there in the future.

All kinds of rubbish that had been piled up on the water surface in the port for many years were also cleaned up. The fishing boats were neatly arranged on the side of the port according to the regulations, and they could no longer be parked in disorder as before. The problem was solved in an instant. After seeing the brand-new port, not only the local residents, but even Benson Tauherty were reflecting on what the Port Authority had done during the years when the Netherlands was in power.

After racking his brains, Benson Tauherty had to admit that the Port Authority has done nothing but collect taxes at the Port of Medan these years.

That afternoon, more mercenaries arrived at Medan Port. After the third transport ship arrived at Medan Port in the afternoon, Benson Tauherty estimated that there were more than 2000 mercenaries at Medan Port.

This reality made Benson Taugherty shudder.

These mercenaries seemed to be stationed in Medan Port. They brought a lot of heavy weapons and equipment. Benson Tauherty could recognize heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, as well as piles of various supplies. A large vacant lot was also cleared out. It is said that a warehouse will be built. I don’t know how many things the mercenaries will bring in. Anyway, the vacant lot is a bit big.

At dinner, Benson Tauherty heard the heartbreaking news that Medan had fallen after Port Medan.

Medan in this era cannot actually be described as a city. Ten years ago, Medan was just a village. Later, due to the rise of nearby plantations, the population gradually increased, and now it has formed a small town.

The fall of Medan will not have a fatal impact on East India. What really worries Benson Tauherty is that the mercenaries have shown with practical actions that their ambitions are not limited to the port of Medan, nor will they Confined to Medan, then in the future——

Benson Taugherty couldn't even think about it.

After suffering for a day and a night, Benson Tauherty and other residents came to the pier at two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

These mercenaries are actually registering the residents of Port Medan.

Two mercenaries who appeared to be Chinese recorded everyone's name, age, and place of birth. Benson Tauherty noticed that in the column of native place, only Chinese were noted separately, and others included Javanese, Sunda The column of origin of other races, Madura races, and Malay races is blank.

"Name?"

"Benson Taugherty."

"age?"

"35 is old."

"Where is your family?"

"Batavia."

"Very good next."

Benson Tauherty watched the mercenary write "white" after his name, and was called to a nearby hotel by a mercenary.

This is also the only hotel in Port of Medan, and the owner is a Chinese who came to Port of Medan in the last century.

"Mr. Benson Tauherty, I noticed that you were just an ordinary tax officer in Port of Medan ten days ago, but now you have become the chief executive of Port of Medan. Can you tell me why?" An officer who was also wearing a mercenary uniform but without any military rank asked coldly.

"Why else? The Ark was impounded because of an official's selfish desire, and then I was appointed as the chief executive of Medan Port. If you want to take revenge, you can start now." Benson Tauherty Helpless, man is a knife and I am a fish, whether to live or die is a word from the official in front of me.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is David, the general manager of the Far East Branch of the Umbrella Company. You have the opportunity to leave, why do you stay?" David was very interested. After the mercenaries occupied the Port of Medan, the few The white family fled overnight, only Benson Taugherty did not leave.

"I have nowhere to go. If I return to Batavia, then I will be executed as a deserter and stay in Medan Port. At least my family can survive." The Dutch don't pay much attention to human rights. Benson Tauherty was left in Medan Port as a scapegoat, and even if he fled back to Batavia, he would not escape.

"Very well, you can stay, even if you cooperate with our work, then you can also become the manager of Medan Port, if you choose this one, then you have to abide by our various rules and regulations, if you violate, If you don't want to work for us, then you have to move out of the official residence before sunset today, and the official residence you live in now belongs to the property of the umbrella company." If Benson Tauherty is willing to cooperate, then David will not Mind if Benson Tauherty continues as the Chief Executive of Port Medan.

"That's our Dutch property!" Benson Tauherty argued.

"It's not anymore." David was calm, and the facts speak louder than words.

"You are illegally occupying and attacking illegally. You will definitely suffer from Batavia's counterattack. At that time, all of you will die without a place to bury you—" Benson Taohetti couldn't choose what to say, and after finishing speaking Only then did I realize what I said.

"It doesn't matter whether Batavia can do it or not, even if it can be done, it will be a matter of the future, tell me your choice now." David folded his hands on the table in front of him, showing strong confidence.

"I—I—" Benson Taugherty was distraught.

David is not in a hurry, there is plenty of time to wait slowly.

"Okay, I'm willing to cooperate, but you have to ensure the safety of my family." Benson Tao Heti finally gave in, and now the strength shown by the Umbrella Company is no longer what those East Indian servants like wandering soldiers can do. conquered.

Although Batavia is backed by the support of the Netherlands, there is also the support of Southern Africa behind the umbrella.

Moreover, the support from the Netherlands is uncertain, but the support from southern Africa will continue to flow, and there is no need for southern Africa to come forward. Just an umbrella company is enough for the Netherlands to have a headache.

"Okay, the specific address of your family?" David handed Benson Tauherty a piece of paper and a pen.

After Benson Tauherty finished writing, David raised his hand and called a mercenary: "Give this to Joe and let him deal with it as soon as possible."

Looking back, David motioned for Benson Tauherty to sit down, and offered to pour a cup of coffee for Benson Tauherty: "Now introduce Batavia, I want to know more about Batavia information."

"Which aspect?" Benson Tauherty finally confirmed that the ambition of Umbrella Corporation is not limited to Medan Port.

"Everything!" David entered the working state, his expression instantly serious.

From this day on, Benson Taoherty became a member of Umbrella Company, and then Benson Taoherty finally realized the strength of Umbrella Company.

The current umbrella company has 5000 formal employees, including nearly [-] combatants.

The newly established Far East Branch of Umbrella Company has 3500 combatants and nearly 600 non-combatants. These people will arrive in Medan Port in batches in the next few days. Medan Port will also become the first port of Umbrella Company in Southeast Asia. If the Dutch East India Company does not give a reasonable explanation, then the Umbrella Company will use its own way to seek justice for the dead.

"Your task is to ensure the stability of the Port of Medan, and cooperate with Christian Construction Company to build the Port of Medan into a modern port suitable for the umbrella company. If you are short of manpower, you can go to Joe, and he will give you enough workers. "David assigns work to Benson Tauherty, which is not troublesome to be honest.

"May I ask how far the East India should go before we can be satisfied?" Benson Tauherty hadn't entered the role yet.

"This is not your job, do what you have to do." David didn't talk too much to Benson Tauherty, of course he had a goal, but David was afraid that Benson Tauherty would be frightened.

In the afternoon, more than 1000 workers were sent to Medan Port.

"These workers are laborers in the plantations around Medan. They are under your management now. I don't care what method you use. Let them be obedient and work for us. If anyone is disobedient, just hand them over to Billy " Qiao put it succinctly, and the next large-scale construction of Medan Port will start, and workers are indispensable.

In the East India, it is very easy to obtain workers. Contract labor from the Qing Dynasty, local indigenous workers in the East India, and even prisoners of war are all sources of qualified workers.

The way the Umbrella Company acquired workers was simple and rude. After the occupation of Medan, the workers in the plantations around Medan were sent to the port of Medan by mercenaries.

What Benson Tauherty didn't know was that the occupation of the Port of Medan by the Umbrella Corporation had caused an uproar in the outside world.

The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged multiple protests to the British Foreign Office over the past few days, opposing the Umbrella Company's military actions in the East India, demanding that the East India Company immediately withdraw from Medan Port and compensate the East India Company for all losses.

The reply from the British Foreign Office is very simple: Sorry, we are not in the mood to deal with your shitty things during this time, and you have to solve the troubles you caused yourself.

Britain is really not in the mood to deal with the Dutch. King Edward VII of England died suddenly on May [-]th. Compared with this incident, the Dutch's matter is nothing to worry about.
