The Rise of the Empire

"This is not in compliance with the rules. You know, my friend, when the supplies arrive and are shipped out are confidential. According to the previous rules, we informed you two days in advance and then gave you ten days of transit time. But now you have learned the information The total time and transit time became fifteen days, and our intelligence was exposed three days earlier." Major Paul said.

"Security issues are other people's business. You and I just want more supplies to be transported to the battlefield faster. Although this request is not in compliance with the regulations, it is very common sense. We are doing a better job, and I am here this year. I also want to participate in the election of state legislator. The performance of the Port of San Francisco is a very important trump card for me. Don’t you think it is a natural thing for a leader who serves the army conscientiously on the home front to become a legislator?” Michael said .

"Yes, it is indeed in line with common sense." Major Paul said thoughtfully. After doing a good job, his partner and old friend will be promoted to a higher level. This is completely human and there is nothing wrong with it. But what can you gain? Major Paul had fought face-to-face with the Japanese on New Ireland Island before. After he was transferred to logistics, he did not want to fight to the death with the Japanese on a desert island thousands of miles away, so he must also prepare for the future. Think about life.

"I provide products and you provide customers, but you know something is happening on the battlefield now. The military has become stricter about delivery items and remaining supplies, so my channel funds are under great pressure. I hope my channel The fee can be increased." Major Paul said very cryptically.

"How many do you want?" Michael asked.

"I want to increase the channel fee by 15%." Major Paul hesitated and said.

"15%?" Michael thought, and after a moment he responded: "I can increase it to 20% for you. But I have another request. I hope you can allow me to use the supporting docks in the Port of San Francisco through operations. The position can also be obtained.”

"The dock supporting the Port of San Francisco? That's a fat job, and there are many people who want to get it." This time Major Paul was more hesitant than before.

All shipyards in the United States are operating at full capacity to produce warships and transport ships, and every shipyard is filled with ships under construction. Okay, who will handle the maintenance of the ship? Naturally, it can only be handed over to the shipyards attached to major ports. And the people who are now responsible for managing the shipyard are definitely high-ranking and powerful, and they are rich in money. After all, they not only decide whose ship can come in for repair and how long it will take. You can also decide which company's materials and tools should be used to repair the ship. This treatment is much better than that of the person in charge of the warehouse transfer department!

After all, the U.S. military also hires civilian ships to transport supplies. One trip is worth the money. There are two shipping companies whose ships need to be repaired. So when other conditions are similar, who will repair it first? Isn’t it the shipyard management who has the final say on this issue? In addition, the dock management personnel also have the right to choose the purchase channel, which is a complete advantage of both ends! so,

Major Paul expressed his understanding of Michael's request and was willing to help. After all, this is war time, and as the representative of the military in the Port of San Francisco, he still has a very important voice.

"If this is the case, 20% is not enough. The agency fee must be raised to at least 25%. After all, I also have a lot of things to run." Major Paul said.

"Then it's 25%. If the plan succeeds, I will give you a Viscount 3 car produced by Bavarian Industrial Group as a gift." Michael said.

"Can't you say count? Is the relationship and friendship between us only worth a Viscount?" Major Paul said pretending to be disappointed.

"Your boss is just a Earl 1 car. You don't want to get into unnecessary trouble, right?" Michael said.

"Okay, okay, there is indeed a reason why you are doing better than me. This business is done, I will prepare now." Major Paul said with a smile, and then left Michael's office.

"Huh, it's finally done. I just don't know how many people will die if it really works this time, maybe tens of thousands. This is also a very big achievement for a spy, right?" Michael I sighed in my heart.

Regarding everything that happened today, Michael had carefully thought about it. Considering the speed of his intelligence transmission, 12 days could not guarantee that the intelligence would be sent to the Japanese through the British naval department, and then effective actions would be taken. Therefore, he must The U.S. military was persuaded to notify itself of relevant matters in advance on the grounds of improving efficiency. 15 days is not a big problem.

As for the mastery of the dock, Michael has this deeper purpose! He really values ​​the profits and rights, after all, it can make him live a better life and have more funds for activities! But what ultimately matters is that after taking control of the dock, the British and Japanese navies behind him have the opportunity to implement the so-called Plan B, which is to intercept and kill American troop transport ships!

In addition to his own drilling business, Michael is able to reach his current position. He is also a person with a maritime background. Not only did he serve as first mate on a cargo ship, but he also served as a mechanic on a high-speed cruise ship in his early years! He has a very in-depth understanding of the situation related to high-speed cruise ships.

The American high-speed cruise ship is very difficult to catch. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ghost in the Pacific. The information is highly confidential and the speed is more than 22 knots throughout the whole journey. Without satellites, it is really difficult to catch it. Take a look at the cruise ships that transported troops on the Atlantic Ocean in history. Which one was sunk while performing a mission? Not one! Some people may say that the Lusitania, how should I put it, was performing a civilian transportation mission, not a military mission. It is far-fetched to say that the military transport ship was sunk.

However, there must be a price to pay for sailing at such a high speed throughout the whole journey. Look at the map, how far would it be if we sailed directly from the western port of the United States to the island of New Guinea? After a round trip of tens of thousands of kilometers and a high-speed voyage throughout the journey, these cruise ships must enter the dock for repairs and maintenance. And if you are responsible for the shipyard work, you can get some information. For example, when will the ship perform its next mission? Then, based on the fuel and supplies added to the cruise ship, we can calculate the number of people transported and the approximate distance traveled, and then determine which route it may take!
