Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 237 Goods Arrive in Hong Kong

A few days later, Luo Jincheng brought two people to Bill's manor again, and he also brought a thick order.

Hardy picked it up and looked at it.

At first glance, we can see the order amount of tangkou in various places, South Africa 2.63 million, Brazil 1.98 million, Malaya 3.42 million, Thailand 1.65 million, and Vietnam tang.

The final total came to $75 million.

Of course, this price is the price after the increase in Hardy's base price of the military. He at least doubled the price of these materials, and at most tripled it. It was not that he deliberately raised the price for the Tang Rengang, but it was the price at the expo.

In this batch of orders, there are also a lot of guns and ammunition. Some countries obviously ban guns, but these Hadi don't care. That is something that Hongmen needs to consider. Anyway, the sales requirements given to him by the military did not prohibit the sale of weapons to these countries.

As for China, it is not on the list, but Hadi saw that Hong Kong's demand for goods is more than 4 million US dollars. Hong Kong cannot digest these goods at all, and it is self-evident where they will go in the end.

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

Luo Jincheng was slightly excited when Hadi agreed that this big deal was about to start. He believed that as long as these things were shipped, they would definitely make money.

Back in Los Angeles, Hardy met Colonel Beach and handed him the order, according to this catalog to prepare the supplies, send them to the port of San Francisco, and then directly load the ship.

Colonel Beach was immediately excited when he saw the list of catalogues, Mr. Hardy, you are so amazing that you sold another $75 million.

I haven't gotten the money yet, and I can only get the money back if I sell it, said Hardy.

Haha, as long as it is sold, are you afraid they won't give you the money? Colonel Beach said with a smile.

Beach, we still need to follow up on this batch of goods. You send five staff members from each place to be responsible for sales statistics and feedback. Before the sale, the ownership of this batch of goods still belongs to us. Hardy road.

Okay, Mr. Hardy, I will arrange the staff. Beach replied.

Beach prepares supplies and keeps delivering goods to the port.

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

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

Today, although the United States is prosperous after the war, it is difficult to find jobs. After the decline of military orders, many factories have laid off workers.

Nearly 10 million soldiers have been discharged from the army, and it is difficult to find a good job. After receiving a call from Hardy, many people chose to return to work on freighters.

After all, the salary is high.

And it is much safer now than before. In the past, you should always pay attention to being attacked and sunk by the German wolves. Now it is only normal shipping, the danger is reduced countless times, and the salary is two or three times that of ordinary workers. Naturally, it can attract people to Large numbers of people.

The first group of people was first arranged at the Los Angeles Shipping Company, and the captains and crew of the 50 ships were quickly assembled. These people have just left the freighter for two or three years. boats and can start working with no training at all.

The goods were loaded onto the ship in batches. During this period, Hardy came to inspect. Bill, the president of the Los Angeles Shipping Company, and the captain of the ship were with 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 the waters of West Africa, the Gulf of Guinea, the Strait of Malacca and the waters of Southeast Asia, and the most serious situation is the waters of Southeast Asia.

Half of our ships go to Southeast Asian waters. I'm still a little worried. I just pray that nothing happens, said the president of the shipping company.

Hardy said in his heart that prayer is useless. You believe in God, but those pirates don't. It is better to rely on yourself than God.

He thought about it,

Install 10 M2 heavy machine guns on each ship, with sufficient ammunition, each crew member must be equipped with a submachine gun, and let each ship bring 100 bazooka rocket launchers, if any pirates dare to approach our ships, tell us Those captains don't hesitate to fire directly, and I'm responsible for anything that happens.

I'll ask Beech to send the weapon back. You have to organize the crew for a training. Hardy said.

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

Hardy said lightly: If it weren't for the time limit, I would also like to install close-up cannons on these freighters. If you see something like pirates, you don't have to keep your hands. It's the easiest to kill them directly.

Okay boss, I will arrange training for them when the weapons come. These captains and crew members used to be soldiers, and the training is very simple. Said the president of the shipping company.

After two weeks,

After all the materials were loaded on the ship, all the weapons were loaded on the ship, and the cargo ships set sail and left the port for their destination.

There are still extra crew members recruited by Hardy, and 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.

Whether it’s taking over the shipping business or leasing it to other shipping companies, in short, these freighters have a place to go in less than a month.

The freighter sailed to various ports by wind and waves. Los Angeles is very close to Cuba. A shipment of goods was quickly transported to the port. This shipment had export documents from the U.S. military and was quickly unloaded. There is no war in Brazil, so there are no weapons in this shipment. .

As for things like canned food, candy, clothes, and boots, the Brazilian authorities didn't care at all. After the items were moved to the warehouse, the Hongmen organization came to contact them, and took some of the materials with the bill of lading and went out for sale.

These organizations have their own channels in the local area. In particular, almost all of the local Chinese have contacts. The Chinese are very hard-working and smart, and many of them open small businesses in the local area, such as grocery stores, clothing stores, and small factories.

The cans are placed in the most conspicuous part of the store, with the slogan: Canned luncheon meat for the U.S. military costs only 0.5 reais per can, pure canned beef costs only 1 reais per can, and canned chicken costs 0.6 reais.

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

The price of these cans is much lower than the price of normal cans. Some people immediately bought a few cans and prepared to go back to taste the authentic canned American soldiers. I heard from people who participated in World War II that American canned food tasted very delicious. .

The clothing store hangs American military uniforms, field jackets, green military uniforms, camouflage uniforms, liners, vests, woolen coats, trousers, striped pants, and more.

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 released a variety of American military boots. These military boots are very sturdy and suitable for ordinary workers to wear. 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, and it felt that it was very cool to wear a US military uniform on the street, and the sales were getting better and better.

A cargo ship sailed to Malaya. The cargo ship did not enter the regular port, but anchored in a remote sea area with the guidance of the local Hongmen Gang, and then someone drove a small boat to transport some of the goods away.

The captain was very puzzled, and asked the Hongmen steward: We have the formalities opened by the US military, so it's not smuggling?

The middle-aged steward spread his hands helplessly, The government will not allow the guns and bullets to go ashore. When we get the guns away, you can stop at the port to unload normally, and there will be no problem.

Dozens of large bales of firearms and bullets were finally unloaded, and the freighter drove to the port to unload the goods. They went through normal procedures and stored them in the local port warehouse for sale.

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

Power comes from the barrel of a gun. As long as we organize and keep armed, those Malays would dare to be so blatant.

Others also joined in.

There are 5,000 rifles, 2,000 submachine guns, and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition to form a real team.

Two other cargo ships sailed to Hong Kong together. This time Hong Kong wanted the most cargo. The two ships were a Liberty Ship and a Victory Ship. Hardy gave them the order not to rush back after the past, and stop broadcasting at the port. He has other uses.

The Liberty is in the front and the Victory is in the back. The distance between the two ships is about 50 nautical miles. They are sailing on the endless sea. The weather is good today. .

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

People turned to look in the direction he pointed.

It was found that there were indeed two boats heading straight towards them. The tonnage of these two boats was not large, that is, the kind of 50-ton fishing boats, but the speed was much faster than that of ocean-going freighters like them.

Could it be a pirate? someone said.

Before they came, they also specially carried out anti-piracy training, so the first thought was pirates.

The chief mate reacted and shouted loudly: Quick, we have to be alert whether it is or not, you go to inform the captain, you go and call the others to come over quickly, and the rest take out their weapons.

Yes~!

These people responded together and acted immediately.

After all, they have all been soldiers. Although they do not need to fight face-to-face on the battlefield like infantry soldiers, they are still trained soldiers who have participated in real wars, and their psychological qualities are much stronger than ordinary people.

The two ships got closer and closer, and it seemed that the visitors were not good. The captain already knew the situation, and brought more than 20 other crew members over together, and even the repairmen went to the deck.

Relying on their speed, the two fishing boats shuttled on both sides of the freighter. Someone was standing on the deck with a submachine gun in his hand at the freighter.

100% pirates for sure.

At this moment, two fishing boats quickly approached and were ready to attach to the freighter. Many pirates were already standing on the deck of the fishing boat, holding rope barbs in their hands, and once they were attached to the freighter, they took the opportunity to climb up.

The people with guns below will be responsible for guarding and protecting the climbers. As long as the crew dares to come forward, they will shoot.

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

But they didn't know that this time they encountered a tough stubble.

Just as the two fishing boats were about to come together, a few dark gun barrels suddenly protruded from both sides of the boat gang. The machine guns were inserted into the rack and firmly grasped on the deck. Next to them was a long chain of ammunition, which was full of hangings. Huang Chengcheng's bullet.

Fuck you~ Fire!

Chu Chu Chu Chu Chu ~!

Chu Chu Chu Chu Chu ~ ~!

There was a tearing sound, 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 shot in the head, and the rest were terrified. , they have never encountered such a ferocious fleet, and a few lucky ones hurry to hide in the cabin.

Do you think you can escape like this?

Several people took out bazooka.

Whoosh whoosh~!

Boom boom boom~~~!

Some rockets hit the plywood, some hit the cabin, and some went straight into the cab. The explosion sounded, and finally the whole ship burned violently.

The fishing boat on the other side was even worse than his companion. After being hit by two rounds of shelling, it was hit in the fuel tank, and it exploded and burned directly. The thick smoke can be seen from dozens of miles away.

Didi beep beep~!

The Victory Wheel in the back sent a telegram, asking what happened, do you need support?

It's okay, the two pirate ships have all been killed. Free Samsara said.

The captain on the Victory Wheel was a little annoyed after reading it. Why didn't we meet, so we can have a good time. The sea is too boring.

Two more days later, the two cargo ships successfully arrived at Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour.
