1717 New American Empire

Chapter 188 Thieves Appear

After receiving bad news again, Charles Mill sat blankly on his governor's throne. He knew that he was finished. He had failed so many times in a row. It was because of the Adams family that he provoked such a powerful enemy and caused the colony to suffer such a disaster.

A huge loss. When the British mainland got the news, they would definitely punish him and even send someone from the mainland to replace him.

Don't expect to explain to the local aristocrats that it is because the enemy's weapons are too advanced and they have dominated the world for decades. The British have long developed their own pride and will never admit this reason. Charlie feels that he has come to the end

Desperate situation, wait, it seems that he still has a chance. An idea flashed in Charlie's mind, and he immediately called his old butler over.

As if in anticipation of Charlie's loss of power, the entire Governor's Mansion was deserted, and the servants didn't know where they had gone. Only the old housekeeper was still loyally guarding outside Charlie's room, waiting for the master's call at any time. Hearing Charlie's call

He immediately opened the door and walked in. As usual, he gave an impeccable greeting.

"Sir, do you need anything?"

"How many assets do we still have now? Do you have statistics here?"

"Yes, sir. I just counted it a few days ago. I still have about thirty thousand pounds of property. If I add up the real estate, I can make up to two hundred thousand pounds."

"That's enough, go and find Haji."

"Haji? Oh, that thief leader from Boston. Why are you looking for him? These three hands are really annoying."

"I know, but I have a task to entrust to them. After all, they are professionals in stealing."

"Stealing? Okay, I understand. I'll go find him right away. I guarantee you'll see him at noon tomorrow."

The old butler is worthy of being an old butler. After saying this, he knew what Charlie wanted to do. Without urging, he just asked people to steal the weapons from Yanhuang Trading Company. Charlie was in a difficult situation, so he naturally saw it clearly.

If Charlie still wants to save himself, he must convince the British people that Yanhuang Trading Company's weapons are superior to their own technology, but the locals cannot match it.

The so-called "hearing is false, seeing is believing", this sentence is still very correct in this era without PS technology and the army of scammers has not yet formed. However, every time they fight with the company, they are at a disadvantage.

It was because they failed and couldn't clean up the battlefield. Naturally, they didn't get any of the company's current weapons. That's why they asked Haji.

Haji can also be said to be a legend in the slums. Haji’s father was a thief with very good skills, but he was stupid and bold. He actually set his sights on a powerful viscount. Later, I don’t know what happened, but it seemed that

He was betrayed by his men, the matter was exposed, and he was caught on the spot. Then, his hands were chopped off, and the Haji family was exiled to North America.

The crippled father died of wound infection on the ship, leaving only Haji, a ten-year-old child. Haji could pretend to be pitiful and gained sympathy from many people, even the captain.

He was asked to help cook in the kitchen, and he got there alive. After getting off the ship, he started wandering around in the colonial slums.

He grew up relying on the means of livelihood taught by his father. However, how can a person who has no systematic education, no background, no bloodline, and no even a family return to live in the sunshine? Haji tried,

He tried hard, but was bruised all over. Then, Haji changed and became a complete villain.

He gathered a group of thieves and formed his own gang. In just five years, he eliminated all dissidents, unified all the thieves in Boston, and formed a so-called thieves union, which attracted many people who had dealt with him.

It was a joke. However, when these people woke up the next day and found that their homes had been evacuated, they realized what kind of organization they had provoked. From then on, Haji officially became famous.

The Thieves Guild began to extend outside of Boston, and was involved in a lot of black trade. It can be said that if Ijik hadn't been involved in human trafficking, a business that would eliminate descendants, the people he held in his hands were all extremely vicious and violent people who did not care about life and death.

.I am afraid that his status in the dark world will be far behind Haji. Even so, he would not dare to Haji.

The wealth you have worked for for decades will leave you overnight. Who can bear this kind of stimulation? The old butler did not dare to be too negligent, and honestly went to visit in person, saying that Charlie invited Haji to have lunch with him.

This was the first time for Haji to receive such courtesy. Some people below suspected that Charlie held a Hongmen Banquet, but Haji was also a well-informed person, so he might believe such words.

When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Charlie was also ready. He took out 70% of the property in the Governor's Mansion. After lunch, Charlie took Haji to the study and started talking straight to the point.

"So, the Governor wants us to steal some powerful weapons from the Yanhuang Trading Company?"

"right."

"Then why does the Governor think the Thieves Guild can do it?"

"I believe in one sentence, everyone has potential. If you don't succeed, it means you haven't exploited it enough."

"Oh, in that case, how much reward can the Governor provide?"

"Hahaha, Haji, please rest assured, I am not a stingy person. There are 180,000 pounds of property here, and some of them are shops in the best locations. I don't ask for much, just one weapon of one kind. If there are more,

, then the reward will be more.”

"Haha, okay, the Governor is worthy of doing great things. He is so straightforward. Deal is done. Just wait for the news."

"Okay, happy working together."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Haji continued to mess with Charlie for a dinner, and then left the Governor's Mansion. In the entire British colony, except for the civilians, everyone with a little bit of influence had had some contact with and understood the Yanhuang Trading Company. As a very ambitious person who wanted to become the underworld emperor, Haji

Ji, of course he also came into contact with it. He even sent some people to infiltrate the company.

However, their proud theft skills have turned them into frequent visitors in the company. The company's penalties for theft have been increased time and time again. For these repeat offenders, they were fine once or twice, but starting from the third time

, they were so punished that they wanted to wash their hands in a golden basin. Why were they locked up in a small dark room and not allowed to rest? There were no human rights organizations in this era, so various means were used to get them to quit their bad habits.

As long as the government and the military are involved in the theft arranged by the union, it has never been successful. However, the prosperity of the company and the wealth of the people also make the thieves union not want to give up. Haji also knows that he will accept this commission this time.

It will offend the Yanhuang Trading Company. But think about it, does a thieves union have a future in a company with strict laws?

Xiaolin needs some people who live in the dark, but they are all spies, or people like Ijik who can bring more people to the company. This kind of petty thief, in addition to some unique things, can also

Those who are rescued can be trained into useful special forces members or agents. For others, Dole will actually affect the company's security situation.

Therefore, even those philistine businessmen can find their own position in the company, even this thieves union, will never be able to integrate into the company. Haji is very open-minded, so naturally he is not afraid of offending the power of the company. In order to ensure that this competition

The business could be successfully completed, so Haji decided to take action with the gold medal thief he had personally trained.

However, it was difficult to guard against thieves during the day and night. The old housekeeper still felt a little embarrassed about using thieves. After returning home, he naturally complained a few times, which was listened to by his son. The old housekeeper's

Although my son is not

What a playboy, but I can't say how talented he is. The old housekeeper is very strict and usually doesn't give him too much money to spend lavishly, so Wood took advantage of it. Wood was captured by Xiao Lin last time and took care of three people.

After months, I finally became honest.

Xiao Lin directly paid a lot of money, and Wood agreed to use his brother-in-law to obtain information about Charlie. Wood also wanted to understand that in this world, any relationship is unreliable. Besides, his brother-in-law is just an old man.

The butler's son is not Charlie's son. If he hadn't given money and shared most of the profits, he wouldn't be where he is now. But it's fine now. Xiao Lin directly promised that all his goods would be covered by the company.

.

In order not to be exposed, Xiao Lin did not use the company's products to exchange them, but directly exchanged them for high imitation British pounds. As time went by, these high imitation British pounds made by Xiao Lin using the technology provided by the Counterfeit Banknote King have been circulated.

Nearly two million entered the British North American colonies. However, no one found anything wrong. Some even flowed into mainland Europe and other colonies. For the current empire on which the sun never sets, this small amount of money is really a big deal.

Not that important.

Even if it is found to be all fake, it will not have much impact on Britain. Since it is not found to be fake, it will be used. Xiaolin gave Wood half a million pounds, most of which were slaves.

A small part of the money was money for buying information. Whether it was useful or not, the company's spies gave Wood an estimate of the price. Wood found that this deal was still very promising. Even if it was not important information, he had obtained a lot of information.

Little money.

The key is that his brother-in-law has also been naughty, and he likes to use this little gossip to get some money from Wood. He still has a sense of the overall situation, and knows not to spread military intelligence secrets everywhere, all based on his

He judged it and then sold it to him after distinguishing it. He didn't expect Wood to be an information dealer. He just thought that Wood wanted to adjust the business according to Charlie's attitude.
