Chapter Thirty-Three: General McGinnis's Appointment!
George embarks on a journey to Europe in Virginia, accompanied by a team of 10 personal bodyguards arranged by Sanctuary and Wynnet, as well as Saul, who is visiting Europe on behalf of the Xhosa Group.
After all, some transactions are not convenient for George to go out to negotiate, so he simply brought Thor directly. He is the best negotiator in deals with the military and local powers.
Just like in many TV dramas, the big boss will not fight for interests at the negotiation table, and usually do these things with his subordinates.
They flew on a large 314 airliner supplied by Boeing, one of the largest aircraft of the era, a biplane custom-built by Pan Am before the war for transoceanic voyages.
However, after the United States entered the war, it entered a wartime emergency, and this kind of multi-purpose large aircraft was requisitioned by the US military as a cargo aircraft.
Now it is also temporarily used as a means of transportation to carry front-line condolence groups, and in this era, I don't want to live in the previous life, and the comfort of taking an airplane is basically zero.
Especially after being requisitioned by the U.S. military, the interior of these large passenger aircraft has been greatly modified, and basically the facilities used to improve the customer experience have been dismantled.
After George and a group of condolence group Yingying Yanyan boarded the plane, the group brought bodyguards with a total of about 70 people, most of whom were members of the condolence group and a small number of low-level officers who rushed to the front line.
He sat down on the plane and looked at the stacks of materials in the system's warehouse, and his heart was very excited, which was another function of the system he discovered before leaving, that is, it could store items.
Most of the $20 million worth of daily necessities are canned meat and cigarettes, and the rest is a small amount of salt and sugar. But it's all hard currency on the battlefield!
When it comes to Europe, as long as you find a suitable trading partner, you can multiply it several times.
Of course, George is not ready to use the system warehouse for smuggling for a long time, the main reason is that the long-distance travel in this era is too grinding.
The Smuggling Business of Xhosa is already quite large, and it has the time to travel back and forth between the United States and Europe.
It is better to speed up the progress of cleaning up the Hydra enterprises in the United States, and not have to suffer crimes.
"Mr. George? What are you laughing at? Wheatnet looked at George, who was sitting next to her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's fine, it's just the first time I've made such a long journey, and I'm a little excited."
After listening to George's words, she also replied with a smile to show her understanding, she had been instructed before she came, and when she arrived in Europe, she had not succeeded in wooing the young boss.
Try to keep him in Europe and never return to the United States. After Wheatt received the order, she also carefully studied his information, and as a high-IQ talent, she repeatedly studied his fortune.
Little is known about the company's and its personal strengths, as if the person and the company behind him are shrouded in a fog.
On the surface, the security private has become the largest private legal armed force in the United States, and the company established after the acquisition of the mafia has developed into a group company across all walks of life in a short period of time.
But the power behind him seems to have never appeared, which makes Wheatt have a faint bad premonition.
Because Wheatet took the initiative to talk, Josie chatted with her very happily along the way, after all, a popular Hollywood actress communicates with you.
Both the appearance and the psychological effect are comfortable.
After more than 20 hours of flight, the plane landed in the sea of Liverpool Harbour, and George and the others took a connecting dinghy to the opposite shore.
Liverpool, as the most important port on the Atlantic route, was once attacked by the Germans, but with the entry of the United States into the war, it regained control of the port.
Now it is also a distribution center for important supplies for the US military, and all equipment and food from the ocean are sent to all parts of the United Kingdom through here.
After staying in the harbor for a short time, the group was taken to the temporary headquarters of the American army, which was also converted from a historic manor.
George looked at the splendid decoration of the manor, combined with the ruins and ruins of the city along the way, and could only sigh that the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
British soldiers worked desperately to complete their tasks on the front line, but all the comfortable and convenient things in the rear belonged to the American soldiers.
Saul has already taken the lead in going to London to join Frank, and because he is nominally Wheat's bodyguard, he can only helplessly accompany the big star to the performance first.
A week later, George and the others also arrived in London, and as soon as he got off the train, he looked at Frank on the station square, and after the baptism of war, the whole person's temperament had been reborn, and he exuded the kind of fortitude that was unique to this soldier.
"George! Missed me. You're finally here," Frank walked up to him, first with a military salute, and then with a big bear hug, a gesture that stunned the group of Sanctuary soldiers behind him.
They didn't expect that the commander who was as terrible as a madman on the battlefield in peacetime would have such a side.
"Are you okay? Frank! Looks pretty good! George was also happy with the change in his good brother, and he was worried about him during this time, although he was injected with the full version of the serum.
Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't die, there is a high probability that there will be no danger to your life. I'm afraid that there will be a case.
"Frank, forget it if you come to pick it up, why are you doing such a big battle?" He said angrily, there were dozens of soldiers and twenty jeeps standing in the square at this time, I don't know if I thought the general was coming.
"I heard that you are coming, and I have already asked General McGinnis, who is in charge of London, to take over this task, you must know that the Sanctuary forces are here." Frank said to him with some smugness, and at the same time reached out his hand and gave him a thumbs up.
Although he had received reports from Frank from time to time in New York, the time lag was relatively late due to the inconvenience of communication.
Hearing him say this, George was also relieved, he has always been more solid in his work, since he said that it was okay, then he also enjoyed the treatment of a senior general.
The group took the jeep to a high-end hotel that was requisitioned by the U.S. military as a temporary station.
After waiting for the soldiers of the Sanctuary to bring George's salute to the room, Frank whispered into her ear, "George, the general would like to talk to you after the welcome dinner in the evening?" ”
"Huh? Want to talk to me? Okay, I see, you tell him I'll arrange the time. ”
He showed a surprised expression, and then carefully combined with Frank's performance, and instantly understood what General McGinnis wanted to talk about with him.
"Okay, then you rest first, and I'll pick you up in the evening!" With that, he turned and left the room, and hurried back to the barracks to inform McGinnis that he had gone.
