288 Murder by the sword
The Japanese government received a total of 3.5 million pounds in loans from the RAND Bank, and most of the money went around the market and returned to Roque's account.
The result was a happy one, with the agricultural associations and factories receiving lucrative orders, the Japanese government receiving much-needed war materials, the Roque and Rand banks receiving profits, and the city government receiving large tax revenues, and the whole of Johannesburg getting excited about the £3.5 million order.
In fact, the profits of this batch of orders are too huge, the order profit of drugs starts at 20 times, the order profit of arms starts at 10 times, and even the profit of potatoes orders is more than 5 times.
No way, the potatoes in Johannesburg were too cheap before, if it weren't for the fact that the distillery still needed potatoes to make vodka, it had almost reached the point where no one cared about it, this batch of orders was a relief for the Japanese government, and for Johannesburg -
Well, at best, it's the icing on the cake.
The key point that makes the whole of Johannesburg excited is that Yamaguchi promised that there will be follow-up orders from the Japanese government in the future, which is the most expected.
As far as Roque knew, the Russo-Japanese War would continue to be fought for ten months, so such a business would have to be done next.
Roque's attitude towards the Japanese was very different from that towards the Russians.
Konstantin hoped that Roque would deliver the goods to Lushun, but Roque directly refused.
Yamaguchi Muxiang didn't offer to let Roque help with the delivery, so Roque took the initiative to take on this responsibility.
When the immigration ships in Nyasaland go to the Qing country, they are often full of potatoes, don't underestimate these potatoes, they can solve most of the immigration costs, and when the war in the north of the Qing country is at its worst, a small bag of potatoes can change a person.
Most of them are underage girls, many of whom are studying in language schools in Nyasaland, and when the language barrier is resolved, they will enter schools, hospitals, and factories in batches to start a new life.
As the immigrants from the north fell into a bottleneck, the role of potatoes was much less than before, and the incentive for immigration companies to accept potatoes was also decreasing, and Roque happened to use these immigration ships to send the goods ordered by the Japanese government to the Far East, and Yamaguchi Sho could not refuse if he wanted to, which was one of the conditions of the order.
On the Russian side, Sam also had a huge harvest, with Konstantin demanding a wide variety of goods and needing to be resupplied in the waters off Madagascar.
This requirement is a bit prohibitive, so the whole order is more profitable, the total amount of the Russian order has reached a million pounds, and the entire order is actually mostly profit, which makes Sam simply ecstatic.
Airborne Umbrella Company, Sam is also trembling as if he is on the edge of the abyss, and he is doing his best every day for the development of the Umbrella Company.
Now don't worry about this problem, after coming into contact with the Russians, Sam seems to have discovered a vast new world, and there is a lot to be done!
When Sam was in a good mood, Xia Jiu was embarrassed.
The monitoring of Bruce Hughes was personally responsible for Xia Jiu.
Offended Roque in Johannesburg, it is estimated that no one can sleep at night, so Bruce Hughes is very careful, other parliamentarians are desperately seeking benefits for the power groups behind them after performing their duties, Bruce Hughes does not dare to do anything, he is like a marionette who can only raise his hand in the parliament, he usually does not even dare to speak, such a councilor, I don't know what it means to be in front of me.
It is estimated that Bruce Hughes has regretted it now, but unfortunately there is no turning back, and when he gets on the broken ship of Arnold, Bruce Hughes will go all the way to the dark.
"This guy is just a turtle with his head in his shell, he sent all his family to Cape Town, and he was the only one in Johannesburg, not even a servant, he had no friends in Johannesburg, he never went to any banquets, he didn't come into contact with anyone, we couldn't catch his sore feet." Lu Si felt that there was nowhere to put his mouth at all, and he was cautious that Bruce Hughes was a talent.
After Sam came to the umbrella company, Xia Jiu's position was adjusted to the head of the intelligence department, which was actually more suitable for Xia Jiu, and Xia Jiu was also at home in this position, and could maximize what Xia Jiu learned in the war office.
It's a pity that there has been no progress in Bruce Hughes, which makes Xia Jiu very angry.
"This guy is a frog, if he doesn't poke him, he won't jump, don't make trouble, let's help him do something." Xia Jiu decided to take some abnormal measures and no longer waited passively.
"How do you poke it?" Lu Si is still inferior to Xia Jiu in this regard.
"I have to find a way to make him make mistakes-" Xia Jiu didn't have a plan yet, but he already had an idea.
"Ninth Master, there are Russians living in the De Beers Hotel." Ding Mao, the leader of a group of the Intelligence Department, has an idea, his name is really simple, and it is estimated that he was born in the year of Ding Mao.
"What's wrong with the Russians?" Lu Si's head hadn't turned around yet.
"Sam is doing business with the Russians, this business can't be known to London, if we tell Bruce Hughes the news-" Ding Mao is a little yin, this trick is to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, if it is not fun, many people will be unlucky.
"No, no, if you don't get it right, you'll get in trouble for the lord, so you can't take risks." Xia Jiu knew the severity.
"Then don't tell Bruce Hughes, go directly to the Russians, just say that Bruce Hughes already knows, let the Russians clean up Bruce Hughes-" Edward, the leader of the second group, is even more ruthless, this method is simply a fight with "nonsense".
Edward is also Chinese, his real name is definitely not this, Edward is the name he gave himself, because the current king of England is called Edward.
This is not forbidden in the UK.
"That's it!" Xia Jiu made a decision, and was more satisfied with Edward's plan, and sure enough, one person counted the shortest and the other counted the long.
Konstantin has been very comfortable in Johannesburg these days, compared with Johannesburg, Russia is too cold, and there are no such rich entertainment facilities as Johannesburg, even some dazzling sunlight in Johannesburg makes Konstantin intoxicated, this guy likes to stay on the rooftop of the De Beers Hotel the most, stripping naked and basking in the sun, and it is a day in the sun.
After confirming the business contract with Sam, Konstantin had already paid a deposit of 100,000 pounds, and Konstantin would not leave Johannesburg until the supply was completed.
In fact, Russia is even preparing to open a permanent consulate in Johannesburg, and if nothing else, Konstantin is the first consul.
Johannesburg does not yet have the right to establish diplomatic relations with Russia, even if the Transvaal is autonomous in the future, it is estimated that the Transvaal will not have diplomatic rights.
Not an estimate, but an affirmation, diplomacy and a declaration of war, these are the two most important rights, once the Commonwealth subjects get these two rights, it may cause huge trouble to the British Empire, so the British government will definitely not let this part of the rights out.
For Johannesburg, it was enough to have a consular rank, when Konstantin could sunbathe every day.
"Sir, someone asked me to give this to you." An attaché woke up Konstantin, who was half-asleep, and handed Konstantin an envelope.
"Who is it?" Konstantin did not answer.
"It was a Johannesburg parliamentary staff member who showed his badge and then the man left." If it weren't for that badge, the attaché wouldn't have dared to wake Konstantin.
"The council is a bunch of people with broken brains—" Konstantin grumbled, opening the envelope.
Then he fell out of the recliner in fright.
"Quick, go get the car, the carriage will do, go to the umbrella company, go to the umbrella company and find Sam." Konstantin was simply incoherent.
The De Beers Hotel is indeed a powerful man, Roque has not yet used a car, and the De Beers Hotel can already provide vehicle services for guests.
The road was galloping, and when he saw Sam, the fat on Konstantin's face was trembling.
"Bruce Hughes is a member of parliament in Johannesburg?" Constantine wants to determine the authenticity, in Johannesburg, Sam is Constantine's most trusted person, and the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope.
"Yes, you know?" Sam didn't know what was going on yet.
"Bruce Hughes and Lord don't have a good relationship?" Konstantin's face was gloomy, no matter who it was, as long as it endangered the interests of the Russian Empire, Konstantin would also block and kill, and the Buddha would block and kill the Buddha.
"It's true that the relationship is not very good, because of the relationship between the Socialist Party, and the leader of the Socialist Party is also a member of the Matilda family, so it is difficult for the lord to deal with it." Sam noticed Konstantin's abnormality and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Konstantin didn't say anything and handed the letter in his pocket to Sam.
After Sam read the letter, he was still able to keep his composure and return the letter to Constantine, Sam held his chin in contemplation.
"Will Bruce Hughes really report it to the UK government?" Konstantin is not stupid, whether this is a knife or not, Konstantin does not dare to risk the interests of the empire.
"It's hard to say, it depends on the control of Congressman Arnold over the Socialist Party." Sam was also thinking about what to do, grabbing the phone on the table and preparing to call Roque.
"Don't worry, we can't pin our hopes on others." Konstantin was decisive that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, if according to the letter, only Bruce Hughes knew about it now, and if the delay caused the news to spread, then everything was over.
"What do you want to do?" Sam felt a chill down his spine, politics was indeed cruel.
"You don't care, just tell me where Bruce Hughes is." Konstantin was going to deal with this problem in the way of a fighting nation.
