Hardy Empire 1945

  Chapter 237 Goods arrived in Hong Kong smoothly

  In a few days, Luo Jincheng brought two people to Bill’s manor again, and he brought a huge order here.

  Hadi picked it up and looked through it.

  At first glance, I saw the amount of orders from various places, South Africa 2.63 million, Brazil 1.98 million, Malaya 3.42 million, Thailand 1.65 million, and Vietnam.

  The final total reached 75 million US dollars.

  Of course, this price is Hardy’s base price of the military, after the price increase, he at least doubled these materials, and the maximum was tripled. It was not that he deliberately increased the price of Tang People's help. This was the price at the fair.

  There are also a lot of guns and ammunition in this batch of orders. Some countries obviously ban guns, but these Hardys don’t care. That is a problem that Hongmen needs to consider. Anyway, the military's sales requirements did not prohibit the sale of weapons to these countries.

  As for China, it is not on the list, but Hardy sees that Hong Kong’s demand for goods is worth more than 4 million US dollars. These goods cannot be digested by Hong Kong. It is self-evident where they will go.

   "Okay, I will let the military start stocking and deliver it directly to the dock." Hardy said.

  Luo Jincheng heard that Hardy agreed that Wei Wei was a little excited, and this big deal was about to begin. He believed that as long as these things were shipped, they could definitely make money.

   Back in Los Angeles, Hardy met Colonel Beech and gave him the order, "Prepare the materials according to this catalog, send them to the Port of San Francisco, and then ship them directly."

   Colonel Beech saw this list of catalogs, and he became excited, "Mr. Hardy, you are so amazing that you have sold another 75 million dollars."

   "You haven't got the money yet, you can only get the money back if you sell it." Hardy said.

   "Hehe, just sell it, are you afraid they won't pay?" Colonel Beech said with a smile.

"Beach, we still need to track this batch of goods. You send five staff members from each place to be responsible for sales statistics and feedback. Before they are sold, the ownership of this batch of goods belongs to us." Hardy road.

   "Okay, Mr. Hardy, I will arrange manpower." Beech responded.

  Beach prepares supplies and keeps delivering goods to the port.

  Los Angeles Shipping Company received 50 freighters and urgently recruited captains and seafarers. Originally, there were corresponding captains and seamen on these Liberty ships and Victory ships. Later, the fleet was disbanded and these people were all retired and returned home.

  However, these people are registered in the military department. Hardy asked them to find their files, call them one by one, and ask them if they would like to come back to work and give them a high salary.

Nowadays, although the United States is experiencing post-war prosperity, jobs are hard to find. After the military orders have dropped, many factories have laid off workers, and nearly tens of millions of soldiers have been discharged. It is difficult to find a good job. After receiving a call from Hardy’s company, many People choose to return to work on freighters.

  After all, the salary is high.

And now it’s much safer than before. In the past, you should always pay attention to being attacked and sunk by the German wolves. Now it’s just normal shipping. The danger has been reduced countless times, and the wages are two or three times the wages of ordinary workers, which naturally attracts Large numbers of manpower.

The first group of people was first arranged at the Los Angeles Shipping Company. The 50 captains and crew members were quickly ready. These people have just left the freighter for only two or three years. A ship, you can start working without training at all.

The goods were shipped on board in batches. During Hardy’s inspection, Bill and the president of the Los Angeles Shipping Company and the captain of the ship accompanied him. Standing on the ship, he suddenly remembered something, “I heard that there are pirates in many places now right?"

The president of the shipping company nodded, "According to the latest information, there are pirates in West African waters, the Gulf of Guinea, the Strait of Malacca, and the waters of Southeast Asia. The most serious situation is the waters of Southeast Asia."

   "Half of our ships sail in Southeast Asian waters. I still have some worries in my heart. I pray that nothing happens." said the president of the shipping company.

  Hadi said in his heart, praying has an ass. You believe in God, but those pirates don’t believe in it. It is better to rely on God than on yourself.

  He thought about it,

"Each ship is equipped with 10 M2 heavy machine guns, with enough ammunition, each crew member must be equipped with a submachine gun, and each ship should carry 100 bazookas. If there are pirates who dare to approach our ships, tell Those captains don't hesitate to fire directly, I will be responsible if something goes wrong."

   "I'll let Beech deliver the weapon when I turn back. You have to organize the crew for a training." Hardy said.

  The president of the shipping company swallowed, and said: "Boss, you are going to turn our freighter into an armed merchant ship."

   Hardy said lightly: "If it were not for time constraints, I would also like to equip these freighters with near-defense guns. Pirates, you don’t have to keep your hands when you see it, and it’s easiest to kill them directly."

  "Good boss, I will arrange training for them when the weapons come. These captains and crews used to be soldiers, and the training is also very simple." The shipping company president said.

  Two weeks later,

  All the materials are loaded on the ship, all the weapons are on the ship, and the freighters set sail and leave the port for their destination.

  The crew recruited by Hardy still has surplus. The remaining people are enough to expand 50 ships. The Hardy Group also has a shipping company. After recruiting the president and management, the shipping company began to operate.

  It doesn’t matter whether it receives shipping business or leases it to other shipping companies. In short, it took less than a month for these ships to have a destination.

The freighter sailed to various ports in the wind and waves. Los Angeles was very close to Cuba. A cargo was quickly delivered to the port. This cargo had the export documents of the US military and was quickly unloaded. There is no war in Brazil, so there are no weapons in this cargo. .

  As for the cans, candy, clothes, boots, these things, Brazilian officials don't care at all. After the things are moved to the warehouse, Hongmen organizes to contact them and use the bill of lading to take some of the materials and sell them.

  These organizations have their own channels in the local area, especially the local Chinese almost have contacts. The Chinese are very hardworking and smart. Many local businesses such as grocery stores, clothing stores and small factories have opened small shopping malls.

  The canned food is placed in the most conspicuous part of the shop, with the slogan: “Canned luncheon meat special for the US military, only 0.5 reais per can, canned pure beef, only 1 reais per can, and 0.6 reais for canned chicken.”

  Many people came to watch. At this time of World War II victory, the United States is the beacon of people all over the world. No matter which country it is, the United States is very yearning, and their things are naturally popular.

The price of these cans is much lower than the price of normal cans. Someone immediately paid for a few cans, ready to go back to taste the authentic American canned food. People who participated in World War II said that American canned food tastes very delicious. .

  Hang American military uniforms, field jackets, green military uniforms, camouflage uniforms, linings, vests, woolen coats, trousers, striped pants, etc. in the clothing store.

  The price of these clothes is generally not high, and the store can also help to change the size, of course, some modification fees will be charged.

  The shoe store releases a variety of American military boots. These military boots are very strong and suitable for ordinary workers. Many people like them very much.

  So as soon as these goods arrived here, many people began to buy them, and gradually people formed a trend, feeling that wearing a U.S. military uniform on the streets is very popular, and the sales are getting better and better.

  A cargo ship sailed to Malaya. The cargo ship did not enter the regular port. Instead, following the guidance of the local Hongmen Gang, it berthed in a remote sea area, and then someone drove a small boat to take part of the cargo away.

Captain    was very puzzled, and asked Hongmen supervisor: "We have the formalities opened by the US military, isn't it a smuggling activity?"

  The middle-aged steward was helpless. “The government will not allow firearms and bullets to be taken off the shore. When we take away the firearms, you can stop at the port and unload the goods normally. There will be no problem.”

  Dozens of large packages of guns and bullets were finally unloaded, the freighter drove to the port to unload the cargo, and followed normal procedures to store them in the local port warehouse waiting for sale.

In another place, when some people saw this large number of weapons, they clenched their fists excitedly, and a young man with a separate head said: "Those Malays bully us and suppress us. We Chinese account for one-fifth in Malaya. The population must have its own status."

   "Government comes out of the barrel of a gun. As long as we organize and keep armed, those Malays dare to be so blatant."

  Others also echoed.

  There are five thousand rifles, two thousand submachine guns, and hundreds of thousands of bullets. You can organize a real team.

Another two cargo ships sailed to Hong Kong together. This time Hong Kong requested the most cargo. The two ships were a Liberty vessel and a Victory vessel. The order Hardy gave them was to stop broadcasting in the port without rushing back after the past. He has another purpose.

The freewheel is in the front and the Victory is in the back. The two ships are about 50 nautical miles from the front and back. They are driving on the endless sea. The weather is good today. The sea is very calm. The idle crew gathered on the deck to smoke, chat and sunbathe. .

   Suddenly someone shouted: "Look over there, there are two boats approaching us."

  People looked in the direction he was pointing.

  It was discovered that there were indeed two ships coming straight in this direction. The tonnage of these two ships was not large, that is, the 50-ton fishing boat, but the speed was much faster than their ocean-going freighter.

  "Will it be a pirate?" someone said.

  Before they came, they also specially conducted anti-piracy training, so the first thought of pirates.

  The first officer reacted and shouted: "Quickly, we must be on guard whether it is or not, you go and inform the captain, you go and summon other people to come quickly, and the remaining people take out the weapons."

   "Yes~!"

  These people responded together and acted immediately.

  After all, they have been soldiers. Although they don’t need to fight face-to-face on the battlefield like infantrymen, they are still trained soldiers. They have participated in real wars, and their psychological qualities are much stronger than ordinary people.

  The two boats got closer and closer. At first glance, the visitor was not good. The captain already knew the situation and brought over twenty other crew members together. Even the repairmen got on the deck.

  The two fishing boats relied on their fast speed and shuttled on both sides of the freighter. Someone was standing on the deck, holding a submachine gun at the freighter.

  One hundred percent pirates are undoubtedly.

  At this moment, the two fishing boats quickly double-teamed over and prepared to attach the freighter. Many pirates were already standing on the deck of the fishing boat, holding rope barbs in their hands, and took the opportunity to climb up as soon as they were attached to the freighter.

  The people holding guns below will be responsible for guarding and protecting those climbing. As long as the crew dares to appear, they will shoot.

  They have been so successful in the past, and they have tried repeatedly.

  But they didn’t know, this time they encountered hard stubble.

Just when the two fishing boats were about to be attached, a few black barrels suddenly appeared on both sides of the boat gang. Huang Chengcheng's bullet.

   "Go to your mother~~ Fire!"

  Tututututututu~!

  Tutututututututu~~!

The tearing sound rang into one piece, and huge bullets shot frantically at the two fishing boats. Some of the people standing on the deck of the fishing boat were shot through their bodies, some were blown to their heads, and the rest were terrified. , They have never encountered such a cruel fleet~www.readwn.com~ A few lucky enough to hurriedly hid in the cabin.

   "Do you think you can hide it like this?"

  A few people took out the bazooka rocket launcher.

   Whoo whoo whoo~!

  Boom boom boom~~~!

  Some rockets hit the splint, some hit the cabin, and some went directly into the cockpit, the explosion sounded into one piece, and finally the whole ship burned violently.

  The fishing boat on the other side was more miserable than his companions. After two rounds of shelling, he was hit in the fuel tank and exploded and burned. The thick smoke could be seen from dozens of miles away.

   "Didi di di di di di di D D D~!"

  The victory round later sent a telegram asking what happened, do you need support?

   "It's okay, the two pirate ships, all killed." Free cycle telepathed.

  The captain on the victory wheel was a little annoyed after watching it. Why didn't we run into it? Then we can have a good time. The sea is really boring.

  Two days later, the two freighters successfully arrived at Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong.
