Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 541

  Chapter 541 Mr. Bloom's Trouble

India is a magical country. Whether it is Fang Lang in his previous life or Fang Lang as a South American in this life, he doesn't know India. In Fang Lang's imagination, there are professional mercenaries escorted by God's Whip. The difficulty should no longer be the possible attacks on the road.

   Rather, such a large amount of materials may require a large number of cars, and India's backward traffic conditions may make the transportation of these materials difficult.

  But the fact is completely contrary to Fang Lang's imagination. The traffic situation in India in this era is actually far better than Brazil, and it can definitely rank among the top four in the world.

That's because India is the most important colony of Britain. As early as 1853, India began to build the first railway. This is the first railway in Asian history. The first railway in my hometown was later than India. seventeen years.

  By 1929, India's railways had covered the whole country, with a mileage of 66,000 kilometers, making it the only country in Asia with a complete railway system.

   In the world rankings, it ranks fourth in the world after the United States, the Soviet Union, and Canada.

  Of course, these are superficial data. In fact, the Indian Railways also has serious problems, that is, the railway system of a country has two completely different size standards.

  India's initial railway construction from Mumbai had a track size of 1.7 meters. However, because of the replacement of the British governor in India, the new governor believed that India's railways should be in line with international standards. All later railways were changed to one meter wide.

  This leads to two different sizes of railways on the same line, and the capacity of trains is severely restricted.

   Speaking of Suleiman Brom's transportation team, which Fang Lang was paying attention to, encountered such a problem. Suleiman Brom originally thought that he had a strong armed **** team, and even without the help of the British army, the operation should go very smoothly.

   But when their train departed from Hyderabad and traveled less than 200 kilometers to a small town called Shahabad, they encountered trouble when they needed to change trains.

Yes, it is to change trains, because the railway they set out on is a one-meter narrow-gauge train. After arriving in Shahabad, they need to change to a 1.7-meter wide-gauge train. All the goods on the train need to be unloaded first, and then transferred to Mumbai. Broad gauge train.

   Now the problem for Suleiman Brom is that all the stevedores at the Shahabad railway station seem to have chosen to go on strike.

  The originally bustling train station turned out to be an embarrassing situation where no one was loading and unloading.

   "Mr. Bloom, what's the situation now, why the train stopped and didn't move."

   As the battalion commander Dalhousie, who was sent by the God's Whip Military Contracting Company to **** the goods, he had obviously never encountered such a situation.

As the employer, Suleiman Brom's face was also very ugly at the moment. After hearing Dalhousie's doubts, he also felt a little dull. After all, the other party was only in charge of escort, and his own men were familiar with the situation in India. It was arranged by the person in charge, and now there is an unexpected situation within less than a day of departure.

  “We need to go to Shahabad Railway Station to replace trains, but now the railway station has no workers responsible for loading and unloading goods.

  It must be those **** **** who are using means to set up obstacles for me. "

  Dalhousie is a typical American military officer. He has participated in the European War and has rich combat experience. This time, he received the mission from the boss himself. For him, this is the trust of the boss and a rare opportunity to express himself.

  Although he didn't know why professional soldiers like them were required to **** cotton and grain, but since someone gave money, he didn't care what others thought.

  The only reason is that Suleiman Brom, the owner of the goods, offended some big shots in India and was threatened to attack him and his goods, so they were hired.

  Now I find that the opponent's strength seems to be stronger than I expected, and it can even make all the stevedores at the railway station go on strike. Alarm bells started ringing in my heart.

   Instead of continuing to ask about the specific situation of Suleiman Brom, he quickly ran to his team and roared:

   "Everyone get out of the car, relying on the train station and trains, build a defensive position to prevent the enemy from attacking. Hurry up."

All of a sudden, the whole train became lively. The heavily armed God Whip mercenaries opened the doors of the stuffy tank cars, ran to the platform in an orderly manner and began to set up defensive positions. A heavy machine gun was placed on the platform. Go up and start building machine gun emplacements with sandbags.

This sudden change shocked the train station staff who were still at the train station. Suleiman Brom was also a little dazed, but he quickly realized that it was Dalhousie who was aware of the danger. The warning arrangement made.

  He was very satisfied with this, and felt that his **** fee was not in vain. At the same time, he began to worry about whether something unexpected would happen next.

   I have to say that sometimes Murphy's Law is very correct. The more you worry about something, the more it will happen.

Just two hours after the station's defensive positions were set up, and when the sky was about to darken, Dalhousie noticed that a large number of people began to gather outside the station. These people had big turbans wrapped around their heads, although they didn't carry anything in their hands. Lethal weapons, but these people obviously have bad intentions.

   Quickly ordered the soldiers to be more vigilant, and as soon as they received the order, they must wipe out all the enemies who tried to approach them to **** the supplies.

  At the same time, he informed Suleiman Brom of the situation he discovered, hoping that he could determine the next step as soon as possible.

  Suleiman Brom didn't expect that the enemy's actions would start so quickly. He was trapped by the enemy at the railway station less than 200 kilometers away from Hyderabad.

  If it wasn't for the **** of a professional security team, these people might have rushed into the train station and snatched all their supplies!

After receiving the news from Dalhousie, Suleiman Brom immediately contacted the British officials in India again to avoid further deterioration of the situation. He knew very well that if these Indians really attacked the train station, He had to fight back.

  Once things develop to this point, even if his family has formed a deadly feud with India, his property in India will probably be confiscated by the Indian government, which he does not want to see.

   But it turns out he was too optimistic.

  After receiving his notification, the British colonial officials stationed in India contacted the soon-to-be established Indian government authorities, but all Indian officials said they were not aware of the situation here, and said that they would immediately arrange for personnel to investigate. Then nothing happened.

   After knowing this situation, Suleiman Brom could only sigh helplessly, and reported the situation to Dalhousie.

  After knowing his situation, Dalhousie didn't panic. After pondering for a while, he asked directly:

   "Mr. Brome, first I want to know if you can find a train to Mumbai. Second, can we get stevedores to move the load.

  If these two things can be resolved, we only need to protect the transshipment process from accidents.

   But if you can't solve these two problems, then we have to choose to take the initiative and seize a train that can go to Mumbai, and at the same time find a way to find enough stevedores.

  However, I am a little worried, even if we seize the train to Mumbai and find enough stevedores to transfer the goods, whether our train can go to Mumbai smoothly.

  After all, trains are no better than cars, no matter where you go, you need the cooperation of various track teams. "

  Suleiman Brom looked at the growing crowd outside the train station with an ugly face, and finally gritted his teeth:

   "Just now my people have asked the train station dispatch center, and their answer is that there are no broad-gauge trains to Mumbai now, but these are all lies.

  According to our observations, there are now two idle train sets in the railway station. If you can assign people to control these two train sets, I can guarantee that our train can reach Mumbai smoothly.

  The current train lines are still under our British control, I don't believe they have the ability to control all train lines. "

From Suleiman Brom's words, it's not hard to hear that Dalhousie is actually not absolutely sure that the train formation can reach Mumbai smoothly, and he didn't even mention the issue of the stevedores. , he couldn't solve this problem either.

   Which means that from now on, their path to Mumbai will be less certain. If they want to reach Mumbai smoothly, they have to rely on their own means in the end.

  In this unfamiliar area of ​​India, if they want to rely on one battalion of their troops to **** such a large batch of supplies to Mumbai smoothly, they must treat this as a battle.

  But now India is still the territory of the British in the final analysis, and he must ensure that they will not be held accountable by the British for using military methods in India.

  So, he looked seriously at his employer, Suleiman Brom.

   "Mr. Bloom, we are all very clear about the current situation. If we want to ensure a smooth operation, we may have to enter a combat state next, and many people will die in this way.

   I wonder if you can afford the consequences if this happens. "

   Suleiman Brom was obviously also very annoyed by the current situation. After hearing Dalhousie's words, he understood what the other party meant. Obviously, he was going to push all the way.

  The reason why he found Fang Lang and invited God's Whip Company to **** the supplies was also based on this consideration. Although he didn't want to push it directly, he couldn't help him to think about the current situation.

  Now that Dalhousie has already offered to take action, he agreed with the other party after thinking about it for a while.

   "No problem, if many people don't die now, these **** Indian **** think I'm easy to bully!

  You can act boldly with confidence! No matter what the consequences will be, I can bear it. "

  Dalhousie saw the other party's expression and understood that the other party had also made up his mind, so he no longer hesitated. He nodded seriously to Suleiman Brom and said:

   "Then I hope that Mr. Brom and your people can follow my command until our team arrives in Mumbai smoothly."

   "No problem, from now on, all of us will follow your command."

  Dalhousie, who received an affirmative answer, no longer hesitated, nodded directly to Suleiman Brom, turned around and began to assign tasks to the soldiers under his command.

  As the orders were conveyed one by one, a battalion of mercenaries quickly moved into action. The first to set off was a platoon of soldiers. They were fully armed and walked along the train tracks towards the train dispatching center on the other side.

Standard combat formation, when they entered the control center, a few Indians inside were smashed out by a few gun butts before they understood what was going on, and then the soldiers in this platoon took control and stopped on the wide rails Two Marshalling Trains.

  Dalhousie, who was already ready for a firefight, obviously didn't understand what was going on. This is completely different from what he imagined.

   Immediately afterwards, another company of soldiers in full armor rushed into the crowd gathering outside. These crowds who were obviously coming towards the train station seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.

   Didn't figure out the situation at all. After a light machine gun fired a magazine of bullets into the sky, all the Indians very consciously put their heads in their hands and squatted on the ground.

   This made Dalhousie even more confused, it seemed a bit different from what he had imagined! Although so many people don't have firearms, they shouldn't just lie flat like this! This made him feel a little embarrassed to get paid.

However, he didn't have much time to lament these things. The soldiers rushed into the crowd and dragged out some seemingly strong Indians. Frectification on the spot.

Shivering all over with fright, they desperately begged for life in their English with an Indian accent, but the soldiers didn't care what they were saying, and drove them directly to the side of the train carriage, and several Suleiman Brom commanded them to transport these supplies.

  After understanding what the soldiers meant, these Indians did not obediently obey the order, but chose to pretend not to understand what they meant, and looked at the soldiers pitifully.

Among the mercenaries of the Whip of God, there seem to be people who have been in contact with Indians. They have some understanding of the Indians' personalities. When they can't command these Indians, they start looking for those Indians with fairer skin The high-caste people in the city ordered them to be responsible for organizing people to transport supplies.

  These people were reluctant at first, but after the two disobedient people were directly executed in front of everyone, all Indians calmed down.

But the work efficiency of these Indians is really low. Not only do they like to steal and play tricks, but they also try to steal goods many times with unclean hands and feet. Fortunately, the people of Suleiman Brom treat these Indians very Understand, they have expected this situation.

  Once they noticed the small movements of these Indians, they rushed up and started beating these Indians with rattan canes.

  Suleiman Brom was also worried that the Indians would discover the real goods hidden in the cotton, so he kept a close eye on these goods, and even himself stepped forward to personally supervise the transshipment of the goods.

As time passed, the goods on the train were slowly transferred. Just when everyone thought that everything was about to end, two cars and more than a dozen trucks drove up outside the train station, and several people got off the car. Indians in suits, and many Indian soldiers with rifles.
