Chapter 119 Accident
"Go and pick it up!" On the top of No. 4 anti-aircraft tower (seven anti-aircraft towers, the two in Hamburg are No. 4 and No. 5), Josie threw a baseball, and four big dogs around him also ran away. Going out, it was the four St. Bernards that Josie bought from Uncle Randolph when he was in Austria.
There are four dogs, three males and one female. Josie belongs to the non-naming group, so she was given the names of Monday to Thursday.
During the two months when Josie was away, the four dogs were raised by Ophelia in Austria, so when Ophelia came to Germany, she also brought them four.
Although the four dogs are only four months old so far, as super-large dog breeds, these four dogs are already bigger than adult golden retrievers, and they have an amazing amount of daily activities.
For this reason, Josie not only had to arrange for someone to take the four little… no, the four big guys went downstairs for a walk every day, but also deliberately arranged and repaired the top floor and the roof of the No. Four guys feel cramped and depressed.
The seven anti-aircraft towers built in Germany are said to be towers, but they are actually square buildings with a length and width of 70 meters. After the bunkers on the roof are dismantled and leveled, and then fenced, it becomes a huge and incomparably large playground. It is also smaller than the football field stipulated by FIFA in later generations.
If it is replaced by a basketball court, it is equivalent to a full 11.
So Josie took four dogs to play baseball on the roof of the building, as long as Josie didn't throw it randomly, there was no problem at all.
"Boss, a telegram from the fleet, it is estimated that they will enter the port in an hour!" Just as Josie was running happily with the four furry children, Ophelia went upstairs Top, report to Josie Hui.
"It's finally here, you go and inform Vito and the others, I'll take a shower!" Josie nodded, comforted the four big hairy children, handed them over to the servants standing by, and got off upstairs.
Half an hour later, a convoy set off and rushed to the port.
When they arrived at the port, only ten minutes later, they saw a mighty fleet appearing at the mouth of the Elbe River in the distance.
However, although the fleet of hundreds of transport ships and cruise ships is spectacular, it is really not a problem for the port of Hamburg, which is the first in Germany and the second in Europe. The merged port goes beyond.
Although it was also bombed, after being occupied by the US military, it became the first object of repair by the US military's logistics department. Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were used as labor force. Although it has not recovered to the level before it was destroyed, normal use is No problem at all.
Combined with military control, except for ships from the United States, the port does not allow ships from other countries to enter at all, so there is no need to worry about reception capacity and order issues.
However, the wharf where Josie is located is not a cargo wharf but a passenger wharf, so he doesn’t need to worry about cargo issues.
He is waiting here for Hugh Jones, the president of Roxon Group.
As the current council ranks second, the person who controls the Roxon Group, the second largest consortium in the United States, can only be regarded as Josie, who is new to the council, and still needs to give the other party some face.
And in the long run, Josie and Roxon Group have neither a direct conflict of interest nor a personal grievance like Calvin, and it is not a bad thing to have more contact with each other.
Soon, as a luxury cruise ship docked, Hugh Jones walked down the VIP channel with a young girl in his arms.
"Welcome to Germany, my friend, how is it? Is the journey comfortable?" Josie walked up to welcome Ophelia.
"Overall, it's not bad, but the scope of action is a bit small. Although the Atlantic Ocean is very beautiful, it will get boring if you look at it too much!" Hugh Jones smiled and shook hands with Josie.
"That's just right. Although Hamburg is still being rebuilt, as long as you don't look at the ruins, the overall scenery is still good. By the way, this is Ophelia Sarkistan, one of my assistants in Europe, don't you If you need anything, you can send someone to tell her!" Josie introduced to Hugh Jones.
"So it's Ms. Sarkistan. I'm very glad to meet you!" Hearing Josie's introduction, Hugh Jones subconsciously glanced at Ophelia's chest—although Ophelia's figure is very explosive, but His attention was not on this, but on an inconspicuous brooch on the chest of the other party.
This is the mark of the middle-level cadres of the Hydra. Behind such a brooch, there will be a mark of the Hydra that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
So when Hugh Jones saw this pin, he knew that the other party was "one of his own", and immediately shook hands with the other party enthusiastically.
Although Ophelia is obviously Josie's person, being a local snake in Europe does not prevent Hugh Jones from establishing a good relationship with the other party to facilitate his actions.
"Okay, this is not a place to talk. I have prepared a place for you to live in. Believe me, you will definitely like it!" After exchanging pleasantries, Josie warmly invited Hugh Jones into the car. As for the others, naturally It's up to Ophelia to arrange.
The residence that Josie prepared for Hugh Jones was another air defense tower in Building No. 5, and the treatment was the same as Josie. The entire top floor had been cleaned up and repaired for use by Hugh Jones and his entourage.
As for the cost... Anyway, it is deducted from the funds of the council.
"Oh, this kind of residence is beyond my expectation, it's really great, thank you Josie!" After Josie showed Hugh Jones around, Hugh Jones immediately fell in love with the residence .
After all, as long as he is a man, no one would dislike this kind of war fortress-style building. Moreover, after repairs, the comfort level is no worse than those mansions.
More importantly, the sense of security is overwhelming.
"Haha, you're welcome, we are partners!" Josie smiled slightly, as long as the other party is satisfied.
Hugh Jones came to Europe, to put it bluntly, he actually came to work as a supervisor.
What Josie is most afraid of is that the other party will make trouble for him.
But as far as it looks now, the other party doesn't seem to have this intention, which is a good thing for Josie.
In the next period of time, Hugh Jones did exactly what Josie expected, apart from normally inquiring about the progress of the council's various investments in Europe, he also traveled around the mountains to flirt with girls.
Seeing this, Josie is also engaged in various business constructions with peace of mind, using the funds and channels of the council to contribute to his career.
It's just that in the end Josie made things simple.
Hugh Jones did not interfere with Josie's property arrangement, but this does not mean that he is not interested in other things.
"Boss, something went wrong!" Josie was finishing a deal with Daenerys that night, and they were chatting enthusiastically, when they heard Ophelia knocking on the door of the study.
"What's going on, so flustered?" Josie apologized to Daenerys, closed the trading system, opened the door of the study, and said with some displeasure.
"I'm sorry, master, but the matter is more urgent. Something happened to Hugh Jones!" Ophelia whispered. When there were only two of them, she would directly address Josie as master, and Josie gradually got used to it. kind of appellation.
"Hugh Jones? What's wrong with him?" Josie frowned when he heard this.
"He and a group of his subordinates and a company of soldiers have disappeared collectively. According to the information given by the military, it is likely to be related to vampires!" Ophelia said helplessly.
"Vampires? Isn't the military investigating this all the time? How did Hugh Jones get involved with those things?" Hearing Ophelia's words, Josie suddenly got a head and a head.
Nima Hugh Jones' position in the council is too high. If something happens to him in Europe, Josie, the half-landlord, must bear the main responsibility.
Maybe the rest of the old men on the council will put this responsibility on Josie, or even kick him out of the council.
Although Josie wasn't afraid, he didn't want to stand directly on the opposite side of the council because of this nonsense.
But the top priority now is to figure out what happened!
"I can't do anything about it. After all, Hugh Jones has his own contacts in the military. According to the information I got, he heard rumors about vampires from his friends in the military, and then he became interested. , and even relying on his own connections, he personally participated in the military's investigation—this time, he and his men followed a battalion of soldiers to investigate an abandoned town near the women's camp of the Rhine Camp Missing." Ophelia said this matter with a face full of helplessness.
In terms of status, Ophelia is only Josie's subordinate, and can't control Hugh Jones, a snakehead who is on the same level as Josie.
In terms of relationship, Hugh Jones, as the top capitalist in the United States, has no worse connections in the military than Josie. At least in the American-occupied area of Germany, his voice is much higher than that of Ophelia.
So Ophelia has no way of asking what Hugh Jones is going to do. At most, he can arrange eyeliners to pay attention, and even have to be careful not to let the other party find out.
Hearing what Ophelia said, Josie could only nod her head. She really cannot be blamed for this matter. She was able to get the news of Hugh Jones' accident at the first time, which can be said to be conscientious.
"I see, inform Vito and the action team that everyone will be given veterinary potions, and also bring the batch of equipment from the underground warehouse, and we will set off immediately!" After thinking for a while, Josie gave the order Order.
No matter what, Hugh Jones, Josie must be saved. Even if the other party is really dead, he must find the body and give an explanation to the council.
Counting the 3,000 words of this chapter, a total of 156,000 words have been completed this month. For Dust, this is actually considered a breakthrough.
But I still set a small goal for myself, in June, 180,000!
