13 Pinkerton is going to be tough
Just as Han Huaiyi was busy preparing for a national flight tour and preparing to completely launch the national defense technology signboard of New Rome, several people returned from Las Vegas to Cook County, where Pinkerton's private police headquarters are located.
Coincidentally, Chicago in the area where Cook County is located is the first war site of Belarus under Han Huaiyi's account.
Today's Pinkerton leader is founder Aaron. P's great-grandson Jarrett, and Jarret's younger brother Matthews.
The division of labor between the two brothers was that Jarrett was in charge of the dirty work of the military.
Matthews is in charge of reconnaissance and other detailed work.
Among them, Jarrett is the leader.
Below them are Ian, a former Irish soldier of the military operations team, Hawkkin, a former police officer in Quebec, Canada, and others.
Functionally, he is much more detailed than the New Rome Group.
It's a huge, cohesive organization that's very well organized.
But it has to be said that although the Pinkerton private police, who entered the 20th century from the Lincoln era, made more money under the leadership of Jarrett, he abandoned a lot of morality, so he also lost a lot of things.
After receiving an invitation from Thomas Edison, Jarrett overstepped the authority of his younger brother Matthews and assigned a veteran detective like Hawkkin to investigate the situation.
As a result, Hawkkin has not returned, and the negative news about Thomas Edison has been overwhelming.
In this case, the cautious Matthews advised the elder brother to abandon such a task.
Because Pinkerton's private police had lost his reputation in the previous Pittsburgh crackdown on workers, he didn't want his family's business to be disgraced again, at least not tied to a discredited fellow.
At first, Jarett agreed with his brother.
However, after returning, Hockkin's words made him change his mind.
The old guy, who is in his early fifties this year, pointed to the photo of the Raptor and the imposing New Rome security barracks, and told the boss with a serious expression.
"Jarrit, this is an opportunity to break into Las Vegas," he said. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The possibility of us having intercontinental law enforcement is gone, but the adversary Thomas Edison brought in me has inspired me, and their solemn protection shows that the stakes here are huge, so why don't we get involved?"
Matthews instantly saw the ambition burning in his brother's eyes.
His head suddenly grew like a fight, and he said, "Hawkkin, you know you see the benefits, but it was Edison who hired us. ”
"If you lose your reputation, you have to compensate for it with benefits, depending on how you weigh the two." Hawkkin Road.
Matthews shook his head: "The reputation of the Pinkerton Private Police can't be tarnished any more. ”
"That's right, but only if we get something." Jarrett interrupted his brother's old tune and motioned for Hawkkin to continue.
Hawkkin elaborated his thinking.
New Rome has five hundred or more security guards, a paramilitary organization that has just killed a large number of Mexicans and Colombians, and has already established an enemy of the dark side.
At this time, they will definitely not easily provoke a fight with the outside world, and judging from the posture of their large number of people, they are also worried about their retaliation.
So Hawkkin saw it as an opportunity to use Edison's money to get into Las Vegas.
He finally said in order to accommodate Matthews's emotions: "Even if we don't do anything specifically, we can contact Colombians and Mexicans, and we can provide intelligence and even arms to help them fight against New Rome." So we can make another profit. ”
But Jarrett said: "Since we are doing it, we must face it head-on, otherwise we will not be able to make a reputation." ”
He stood up with his mind, and the leader of the group pointed to the photos: "Matthews, do you know what I'm seeing, I'm seeing the rise of another Pinkerton private policeman. That Charlie now has a lot of good connections, and if he is allowed to develop, his security team will not only serve his own business, but his team will inevitably reach out. ”
Hawkkin said with admiration when he heard this: "Yes boss, there is not much space in the unofficial military field of the United States. ”
Because Jarett saw what he didn't see.
Jarrett continued, "Especially now that he's made an artifact like an airplane! In my opinion, this kind of thing will definitely replace the airship to dominate the sky, then he will definitely get more recognition. So we can't give him time to develop, even if our comrade-in-arms is Edison. To get a special reputation, we have to have survival before we think about these things. ”
His words actually made a lot of sense, but Matthews was still worried, because although his brother had a unique vision, the solution was too extreme.
But the final say belongs to the elder brother, not to him.
Jarrett made the final decision: "Reply to Edison, increase the payment request, and arrange for someone to hurry up and go to Mexico City to contact the allies over there." ”
That's how family businesses are, especially when the leader has enough power.
Matthews saw that the matter was irreparable, and could only rely on his brother's opinion to analyze the situation.
He pointed out that the strength of the 500 White Russians was very strong, and it would be a trouble to directly shake it.
Jarrett admits that although the Pinkerton Private Police currently has 2,000 personnel, the armed forces have only 800 personnel, and the rest are logistics and intelligence agents scattered throughout the country.
That being the case, Matthews suggested that when it was time to do something, it would be better to create trouble elsewhere.
This is a strategy at the level of the art of war.
"We can buy Mexicans and Colombians to harass their forces in New York and San Francisco, so that they have to disperse their Las Vegas forces, and then we can knock them out in one go," Matthews suggested. ”
"Yes, you are responsible for this matter, I just need to see the results."
"Okay, brother."
"Don't be emotional, Matthews, I'll listen to you if you have a point."
"I see, so how about we get rid of his forces in Chicago first, that Johnny is a buyable figure."
"It's a good idea, buy him, and at the same time find out about the family situation in New York, because they have a conflict with each other."
Things are well arranged.
Pinkerton's private police organization was immediately up and running.
On the same day, someone went to New York, and the border.
Someone else went to Johnny.
As for these moves, the new Roman side is not yet aware of them.
But equally, the leaders of Pinkerton's private police did not know what Mr. Han's defense industry meant.
The two forces are destined to have a head-to-head competition in the future.
