Roque is waiting for the results of the investigation by the Ministry of Defense if he does not arrest people, and compared with Brad, the efficiency of the Ministry of Defense is indeed a bit slow, but this is understandable, Brad is responsible for Roque personally, and the Ministry of Defense is responsible for the whole of Southern Africa, and the responsibility is different, and the investigation procedures are also different.
The Johannesburg Textile Company is a company owned by Phyllis, and Roque believes that the textile company is fine, so Brad directly targets the supply chain within the military.
The Ministry of Defence's special investigation team has made the Johannesburg Textile Company its primary target, and it is not afraid to make a big splash, and if the textile company really has a problem, then it will take courage to lift the lid.
The Special Investigation Unit was headed by Lieutenant Colonel Joey, Deputy Director of Intelligence of the Fourth Division, who was on his way to Johannesburg.
The special investigation team has just been set up, and its members are all drawn from various departments of the Ministry of Defence, and the special investigation team has just received the relevant information about the Johannesburg textile company last night, and when they set off this morning, the members of the special investigation team are all in a heavy mood.
The deputy head of the Special Investigation Team was Klaus, the head of the first section of the Intelligence Division, who sat next to Joey and watched as Joey stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, say it." Joey is looking through information about the Johannesburg Textile Company.
According to the information, Johannesburg Textiles is in good standing and has undertaken all textile-related operations of the Northern Rhodesia Division and the New Cavalry Division, as well as the Johannesburg Police Service, long before the establishment of the Federal Government.
Military tents, various clothing, blankets, sleeping bags, and even harnesses for rifles were provided by the Johannesburg Textile Company.
After the establishment of the federal government, the Johannesburg Textile Company naturally became the designated procurement unit of the federal government, and now the Johannesburg Textile Company not only undertakes orders from the Ministry of Defence to produce military supplies for the Ministry of Defence, but also undertakes orders from other departments, and even the uniforms of the staff of the Prime Minister's Office are purchased from the Johannesburg Textile Company.
Judging from the data alone, the price of the Johannesburg Textile Company to the various departments of the federal government is not high, and the market price is about the same, which is a very normal thing, but it is very abnormal in the field of government procurement, Joey has a background in the British War Department, and has a certain understanding of the material procurement of the British War Department, generally speaking, the price of military supplies should be about 50% higher than the market price to be normal, otherwise the enterprise will not be able to guarantee normal profits.
Johannesburg Textiles is the largest textile company in southern Africa, the company has six factories in the Transvaal and Nyasaland, Cape and other places, all employees add up to nearly 4,000 people, the information shows that the Johannesburg Textile Company gives employees a very high salary, and the annual salary of ordinary staff of the federal government, which makes Joey very puzzling, if the situation of Johannesburg Textiles Company is the same as said in the information, then unless Johannesburg Textiles Company is doing tricks on product quality, Otherwise, the profit due cannot be guaranteed.
"Head, we're in big trouble this time." Klaus lamented that this matter is a hot potato in the Ministry of Defense, and everyone doesn't want to take over, so it is so difficult for the special investigation team to be established, Joey is Roque directly named, and Klaus is Joey's old subordinate, if he has a choice, Klaus is absolutely unwilling to join the investigation team.
"Why?" Joey asked knowingly, scribbling the key points as he flipped through the information.
"Don't say you don't know, the owner of the Johannesburg Textile Company is our minister's wife, so how can we investigate?" Klaus was almost on the verge of collapse, Madame Nyasaland was a nobleman herself, and a member of the Matilda family, her father was Lord Matilda, her brother was Lord Favart, and he was also the Minister of Justice of the Federal Government, and the other brother was the leader of the largest party in Southern Africa and the leader of the largest party in Parliament.
"How can I find out, the Lord has directly appointed me as the head of the Special Investigation Team by bypassing the Director, what do you think the Lord wants me to do?" Joey finally looked up, his expression calm.
"You're not serious, are you?" Klaus almost jumped out of his seat in fright.
"Be open-minded Klaus, do you think Lady Nyasaland will do anything with munitions? Money is important to us, but to the Lord and the Lady of Nyasaland, it doesn't make sense to have more money and less money. Joey shook his head speechlessly, and his mood was a little complicated after reading the information.
"Who's going to have a lot of money—" Klaus still didn't turn the corner.
"The whole of Nyasaland is the domain of the Lord, and the Lord has the largest arsenal in Southern Africa, an aircraft factory, a shipyard, and the ubiquitous Rand Bank, and all of these businesses are gold mines - oh, I forgot, there are gold mines in the Lord's name - so you see, if the Lord wants to make money, he doesn't need to rely on it this way." At this time, Joey was actually very glad that the Ministry of Defense had a minister like Roque, and if it was replaced by a greedy minister, it would be ugly.
Whether it is honest or not really has little to do with more money and less money, some people can still be alone even if they are poor, and some people are still insatiable even if they have a lot of money.
One thing is undeniable, capitalists do have more ways to make money than the poor, and rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, so it's normal for Roque not to make money by government orders.
"That's why you don't have any money." Joy didn't explain that because of the different family backgrounds, education levels, and experiences when growing up, they looked at the problem from different angles, and they couldn't force it on this issue.
To put it mildly, at the level of a federal government minister, there are many ways to make money, Johannesburg Textile Company undertakes orders from the federal government, and the price of the product is about the same as the retail price in the market, which in itself ensures the profits of Johannesburg Textile Company, so it is purely abnormal to do things in terms of quality.
"In case there's something wrong with the Johannesburg Textiles Company—" Klaus shuddered at the thought of the possibility.
"Rest assured, the Johannesburg Textile Company must be fine, otherwise the Lord would not have come to this position." Joy really isn't worried, there are also some rumors about senior federal government officials in southern Africa, the rumors of officials, even including government department workers, are heinous, in fact the situation is really not so serious, some officials are indeed heinous, but not all, just like in the face of war, some people will choose to flee abroad, but there will also be people who defend their families.
The situation in southern Africa is more special, Roque is not only the deputy secretary of defense, but also the deputy minister of justice, Roque and Jan Smozi's discord is known to the entire federal government, some time ago the Ministry of Justice grabbed the Ministry of Education's little thing, and chased and beat everyone in the Ministry of Education, but Jan Smotz couldn't catch Roque's sore feet, if there was a problem with the Johannesburg Textile Company, I believe this matter would have been settled in broad daylight.
Don't forget that the relatives of the leaders are the most problematic area.
The road between Johannesburg and Pretoria was built several years ago, and the military vehicles of the Ministry of Defence arrived in Johannesburg in less than an hour.
"Hello Lieutenant Colonel Joey, I'm Johannesburg Police Chief Gaude, and welcome to Johannesburg." Gauder and Joey meet at the entrance to Johannesburg, where the Johannesburg Police Department is to cooperate with the Special Investigation Team's investigation, which is also Roque's order.
Order issued in his capacity as Deputy Minister of Justice.
"Hello Mr. Director—" Joey took the initiative to shake Gaude's hand, not feeling that there was anything wrong with Roque's arrangement.
Under normal circumstances, this arrangement is indeed quite normal, after all, the special investigation team formed by the Ministry of Defence does not have the right to directly investigate enterprises in southern Africa, and there are many places where the cooperation of the police department is required, and in case the Johannesburg textile company does not cooperate, the special investigation team does not even have the power to take coercive measures.
However, in this matter, there will be many problems in the eyes of people with dark psychology, Johannesburg is the home base of the Roque and Matilda families, and now the speaker of the parliament was the mayor of Johannesburg before the establishment of the federal government, and Roque once served as the chief of the Johannesburg police and was deeply involved in the post-war reconstruction of Johannesburg, even if Roque is no longer working in Johannesburg, he still has a huge influence on Johannesburg, and it can be said that the current Johannesburg was created by Philip and Roque.
"Shall we eat first, or shall we go to the Johannesburg Textile Company first?" Gao De did cooperate unconditionally, and the special investigation team could go wherever they wanted.
"Let's eat first, we haven't even eaten breakfast-" Joey is not in a hurry, whether there is a problem with the Johannesburg Textile Company or not, it makes not much difference if you go early and later, you can only have the energy to work when your stomach is full.
Then go to eat, Gaode gave a few options, you can go to the canteen of the Johannesburg Police Station, or you can go to the Rhodesia Hotel, all the expenses are covered by the Johannesburg Police Department.
"Needless to say, it's definitely the Rhodesia Hotel." Joey laughed, Johannesburg has the best economic development in all regions of southern Africa, and he has long heard that the Johannesburg Police Department is rich, and Joey is a big eater.
The Johannesburg Police Department is indeed rich, and the official cars purchased by the Ministry of Defence are only basic types, but the cars purchased by the Johannesburg Police Department are specially customized for the Johannesburg Police Department by the Nyasaland Automobile Factory.
The South African mastiff logo on the body is really eye-catching.
