American Comics Plane Trader
Chapter 71 Green Hat
Two days later, in a warehouse on the outskirts of Liverpool, Thomas Shelby led his men and saw the first batch of goods—an entire warehouse full of cans and cigarettes.
In addition, there are three hundred guns and ammunition.
That's what the Shelby family needs in addition.
Don't think that they are the biggest gang in Britain, so they can easily get guns.
But in fact, the control of guns in the UK has always been much stricter than that in the United States.
During the war, before the arrival of the US military, the British army had always implemented strict military control at home, which made weapons even more difficult to obtain.
The small number of firearms owned by the Shelby family now are leftover stocks before the war, and the ammunition is not sufficient.
Without weapons, the goods cannot be well protected.
Josie naturally wouldn't mind this kind of reasonable request. It just so happened that Curry, his system warehouse, did have some weapons in stock, so it wouldn't matter if he sold some of them to Shelby.
Looking at the warehouse full of goods, Shelby was deeply moved. It was the first time in four years that he was so rich!
If these things were placed before the war, they would be nothing to the family, but now, they are life!
But no matter how tempting these goods are, Shelby never had the idea of cheating.
No, it's not that I don't want to, but I dare not!
Because just outside the warehouse, guarding a whole platoon of US troops.
This group of US troops is the result of Josie making friends with those officers on the plane.
Among them, the unit of the lieutenant commander of the army is stationed on the outskirts of Liverpool, ten kilometers away from this warehouse.
With just a few bottles of good wine, the lieutenant arranged for a row to "zip in"!
In this case, even if Shelby was given ten guts, he would not dare to cheat.
In terms of the quality of soldiers, American soldiers are just like that, but in terms of firepower, the United States has become famous all over the world in the past three years since it entered the war.
Although there are only thirty or so people in a platoon, in addition to the basic standard Garland and Thomson, it is also equipped with at least two light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, and three mortars.
With this kind of configuration, let a group of gangsters go black and eat black?
He Shelby is not Captain America, he can hit a hundred.
And if there is a little conflict and a few American soldiers are killed or injured, Birmingham may be directly occupied by the US military the next day... Josie naturally doesn't have that much influence, but he can't stand up to the US military's protection!
"Mr. Shelby, I will hand over these goods to you. I am waiting for your good news in London." After inspecting the goods, Linden said proudly to Shelby.
"Of course, the Shelby family values your friendship very much. We will do our best to get the payment together within a week!" Shelby nodded and shook hands with Linden, but his eyes did not move. Sensually, he swept over Josie who was standing not far behind Linden.
Although Lyndon Schneider's performance is impeccable.
But Thomas Shelby still had an intuition that the identity of this young assistant might not be simple.
After handing over the goods to Shelby, Josie and the others withdrew together with a platoon of American soldiers.
I have to say that in this era on the territory of the Allied forces, it is really cool to wear the tiger skin of the Americans and run wild.
"Boss, he seems to see it!" Sitting unsteadily on the jeep, Linden said to Josie beside him.
"If you see it, you can see it, but as long as you are smart, he will swallow this matter!" Josie chuckled lightly, not paying much attention.
To be honest, in the UK, if it wasn't for continuing to do business after the war, Josie really didn't have too many scruples.
These days, as an American, he is also a material supplier of the military, and has a pretty good relationship with the military. As long as Josie is not crazy enough to trouble the royal family, otherwise, no matter how big things happen in the UK , At the top of the sky, it's an extradition, he's afraid of a hammer?
After getting rid of the sub-salesman Razor Party, Josie and the others went to London the next day.
The goods for the razor party are mostly low-end goods.
After all, the level of gangsters is there, but the British have plundered the world for hundreds of years, and the background is very deep. Even the common people, many people have accumulated considerable wealth. During World War II, many British citizens were not short of money. It’s just that there is a lack of supplies. During this period, any ship full of supplies will come to the UK, and it will be sold at several times the price within a few days. There is no such thing as unaffordable, only unavailable.
This is the shortcoming of the island country. Once it is blocked, supplies from outside cannot come in, and even if you have money, you cannot buy food.
But as long as the blockade is over, Britain will be able to recover soon with its background... At the end of World War II, Britain's economy recovered the fastest in the world except the United States, because it has money in its homeland and supplies in its colonies.
The real reason for its decline was actually a series of waves of colonial independence in the 1950s and subsequent deindustrialization.
But now what Josie has to do is to deduct a little bit of pocket money from the pockets of these British guys in advance.
However, in Josie's system warehouse, there are still a lot of high-end goods, high-end candies, chocolates, cigars, canned fruits, drinks, and even fresh fruits, beef, mutton, and pork.
These things are not things that the British Common people can digest. Only by selling them to the dignitaries in London can they maximize their benefits.
This requires cooperation with those big trading houses in London, as Shelby said before, and Josie can't bring someone to the door to sell, and he can't afford to lose that person.
Because it was a few days late, when Josie and the others arrived in London, the girls from the film company had already started to participate in the touring performances of various military camps under the arrangement of the labor force organization. They were very busy every day, so they were not in the hotel where they were stationed. In the middle, I won't come back until evening.
It's just that when the girls came back at night, Josie immediately discovered a problem.
"Where did Whitney and Angela go?" Seeing the girls walking into the hotel one by one, Josie frowned and asked the two bodyguards accompanying the group. Lyndon Schneider also had an ugly expression.
"Sorry, sir, after Ms. Whitney arrived in London, she had a heated fight with Howard Stark, while Angela got very close to a colonel and officer named Joseph Kennedy. It's not that we don't stop, But the two ladies are voluntary, and there is nothing we can do..." The two bodyguards looked at Josie and Linden with some embarrassment.
But it's mainly Linden, because they know that Whitney and Josie are just a purely employed relationship. Even if Whitney plays poker with Howard, the green one is the rich boyfriend in the United States, and he has nothing to do with Josie. .
But there is no doubt that Linden's green hat is really buckled.
Moreover, the two bodyguards really couldn't stop this matter. With Angela's willingness, and the other party was a US colonel, what could they do.
In this regard, Josie could only cast a sympathetic look at Linden, whose face was pale and uncertain.
Tsk tsk, this kind of dodder is really not the master of peace.
It's just that Joseph Kennedy... Isn't this the boss of the Kennedy who blew up in the sky in the UK?
"Kennedy" and "Monroe".
This is really evil...
