"I now understand why you chose the port of Southampton over the other British port closest to Bremerhaven" Looking at the printing equipment that was being unloaded from the ship and the printers from Sachsenhausen, Rowling turned around and kissed Zhao Zhi. When she chose a stop in England, Rowling strongly opposed the port of Southampton, believing that the closest place to London was the most suitable place to be on the shore, where there was a manor house belonging to the Rockman family, and the mouth was suitable for printing equipment. Now it seems that Zhao Zhi's choice is the most correct, under the control of the Krim gang, the port of Southampton is simply the back garden of his home.

"Printing counterfeit banknotes can't be related to the Lockman family, using the local gangsters is the most correct, and we ship supplies out from here, and the British won't know about it at all" Looking at Rowling in his arms, Zhao Zhi smiled, this woman's original shrewdness can't be seen, and now Rowling is completely a noble girl who doesn't know the world. Of course, Zhao Zhi could not tell her that there would be an elite unit of the German army that would enter Britain from the port of Southampton on a ship pretending to be Jewish refugees, and enter the United Kingdom from the port of Southampton, and enter London to cause riots.

The first batch of 30,000 Jewish refugees on ships have left the port of Southampton and will sail around the Strait of Gibraltar and enter the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea through the Suez Canal and then into the Bay of Bengal and dock at the port of Yangon in Myanmar. Burma was now under British control, and Zhao Zhi, under the banner of humanitarianism, had asked the elder Rhodes to intervene and instigated the U.S. Congress to send a diplomatic note to the British, asking the British troops stationed in Burma to provide protection for Jews arriving in Burma until they entered China along the kilometer of Yunnan-Burma.

As the former empire on which the sun never sets, the British obviously would not agree to the request of the United States so easily, but now that the war with Germany is in progress, it is better to get a potential ally than an enemy, and the British finally agreed to the request of the United States in the long-term interests, and promised that the British colonies along the way would help these Jewish refugees, especially safety and food supplies. Zhao Zhi could not leave England yet, not only was he waiting for the first batch of counterfeit banknotes to be printed, but he also needed more ships to transport the Jews who had gathered in Bremerhaven, so his next target was the Parker family, a shipbuilding family from Portsmouth.

Portsmouth is not inferior to Southampton's large port, but it is located further than Southampton, from here it is possible to cross the English Channel to France, and the port has always had a well-developed shipping industry, and Portsmouth is no exception in this regard. The up-and-coming aristocratic lady Leni is chased by countless wealthy sons and the sons of Guizhou, who are eager to have something to do with this London beauty. Even if it's a luxury. But it became an excuse for them to let themselves go on.

Covanley Park, once the youngest baron in Portsmouth, was fortunate enough to marry a member of the royal family and earn himself the title. His wife, Elizabeth, has royal blood, and although she is not a direct line, she is also very noble, but unfortunately she is not beautiful. Owen was the only son of Portsmouth's shipbuilding magnate Covanley and the rightful heir to the family estate, although he was only thirty-three years old. But he is already the full head of the Parker Company, Owen did not inherit his mother's royal style, but inherited all the amorous temperament of the baron's father, it is said that there are quite a few women who have an affair with him, and half a year ago he began to have a crazy infatuation with Lady Leni.

Since he began to chase Leni and try to seduce her, Owen has tasted the bitter taste of love, this peerless beauty is gentle and submissive, but she has always kept a considerable distance from every man who comes close to her, and men who pride themselves on their gentlemanly demeanor cannot shorten this distance, of course, no one tries to give up a gentleman in front of such a beautiful woman and act as a scoundrel, which is detrimental to dignity.

Owen never expected that the peerless beauty would come to Portsmouth from London to make a special appointment with him, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, but when he saw Zhao Zhi with the beautiful woman by her side, Owen's enthusiasm completely dropped to the freezing point, and the only thing he was glad to see her was. "Mr. Owen, please allow me to introduce my friend to you, this is Mr. Zhao Zhi from the Far East, you can also call him Mr. Jason, he is also my boss" Lenny let go of Zhao Zhi's hand and introduced Zhao Zhi and Owen.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jason" Owen was a noble child after all, although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, he still stretched out his hand to Zhao Zhi according to the etiquette of the noble.

"I'm also honored to know Mr. Owen, I heard that you are the largest shipbuilding prince in Portsmouth, I own a steamship company in the Far East, and I heard that your Parker family also has several ocean-going fleets under its name, we should be considered peers" Owen smiled like a fly, didn't this black-haired man come from the East? How can there be a steamship company? But those shipyards in the East shouldn't be comparable to those in the UK, right? Both in terms of size and funding.

It seemed that Owen had found a reason to comfort himself, and a smile bloomed on his face that he thought he was handsome, and he said: "Mr. Jason's industry seems to be very large and involves a wide range of things, our Parker family is only engaged in production and not transportation, and those ocean-going fleets are just my private industry, and have nothing to do with the family, we are the first-class shipbuilder in the UK, and many warships in the Royal Fleet of the British Empire are produced by our Parker Shipbuilding, and our advantages are concentrated in one point."

"We are a royal shipbuilding industry, and the government will consider giving us generous policies in terms of funding, there is no doubt about this, Mr. Jason, our Parker family has built the world's largest warship for the British Empire" Owen's mouth did not want to stop at all, and he gushed about the glory of the Parker family. But he didn't say that the Parker family has long since declined, and now the shipyard under the name of the Parker family is only building some sea ships for some shipping companies, and the warships in the army have nothing to do with their Parker family.

"Mr. Owen, as far as I know, the shipyard under the name of the Parker family has long been unable to make ends meet, and what you are currently building is only two oil tankers ordered by the shipping company, not the largest warship" Zhao Zhi smiled very strangely, and the information that Hunter got made it very clear that the once glorious Parker family has declined in this generation.

Owen's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he said after a while, "Mr. Jason, it's a period of economic depression, and you also know that the bank's loan control is very strict, and our family's shipyard has the ability to build large ships, but those shipping companies are reluctant to build that kind of large ocean-going ships."

"Ah, I see, well, let's not talk about that, I want to get down to business."

"It seems that Mr. Jason has come to Portsmouth today for a purpose, so please make it clear, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"I want to buy all the ships in the Parker family's name, I wonder what Mr. Owen's opinion is? I will definitely give a suitable price," Zhao Zhi said the purpose of the trip. More than half of the ocean-going fleets ordered by Zhao Zhi were from Britain and France, and since they were about to go to war in Germany, it was very likely that these selfish British and French shipping companies would tear up the agreement, and Zhao Zhi needed to find another way to find ships, and with the counterfeit money factory in Southampton as a guarantee, Zhao Zhi planned to buy the big ships directly.

"No way. Mr. Jason, the acquisition is not so simple, it is not something that can be done with money, our Parker family has a deep background, as a military shipbuilding enterprise designated by the royal family, you must get permission from the British government if you want to acquire it" Owen's hand trembled slightly, he knew what the Parker family would face if they lost all their ships, but the current Parker family is indeed facing a shortage of income, and Owen, as the head of the family, is a little undecided.

Zhao Zhi frowned slightly, "Mr. Owen, the era of the Parker family as a royal designated military shipbuilding enterprise has long passed, Britain and France have declared war with Germany, once the war starts, all the ships of the Parker family are likely to be conscripted as state-owned property, and at that time, you won't even be able to get a penny" Zhao Zhi's words made Owen's eyelids jump vigorously.

"Owen, we are good friends, that's why I brought Mr. Jason to you, instead of waiting for the government to recruit all the ships under your name to serve them for nothing, it is better to sell them all to Mr. Jason, and then take the money with me to Switzerland" Leni took Owen's arm and chuckled under his breath, "Didn't you keep saying that you would take me to Switzerland for skiing?" After selling the fleet to Mr. Jason, we moved to Switzerland, where I still have a villa."

I don't know if it was Zhao Zhi's words that played a role, or if Owen liked Lenny, after a long silence, Owen finally agreed to package and sell the three ocean-going fleets and various other ships under the name of the Parker family to Zhao Zhi. After signing the deal, Zhao Zhi felt that he was short of funds, and the purchase of a British shipyard was a plan that he and Goering secretly discussed, especially the Parker shipyard in Portsmouth, from which there were several French ports that could be used for German landings across the English Channel.

According to the plan discussed by Zhao Zhi and Goering, after the purchase of the Parker shipyard, Zhao Zhi would use it as a Jewish transit point, and a large number of elite German troops would pretend to be Jewish refugees and hide here on sea ships, waiting for the main force of the British and French forces to be attracted to Belgium and Luxembourg, and the German troops from Portsmouth would cross the English Channel and land in France, and completely cut off France with the Italian army. Of course, Zhao Zhi was not without benefits in this plan, because the money for the purchase of the shipyard was paid for by Germany, and the ocean-going ships suitable for transporting Jewish refugees belonged to Zhao Zhi.
