Chapter 69 Birmingham Razor Party

   It was a small surprise to meet Winster, the future world-famous World War II hero, on the plane. Josie had a pleasant chat with him along the way.

  At least for the entire voyage, chatting with these officers and listening to their bragging will not feel too boring.

  After more than 20 hours of flight, Boeing 314 roared and landed on the sea outside the port of Liverpool-seaplanes, whether taking off or landing, can only be carried out at the port.

   Soon, several small boats sailed out of the port to pick up Josie and his group of passengers ashore.

  Although it was once devastated by bombing, with the official entry of the United States into the war, with the help of the Allied Forces, this most important port on the Atlantic route quickly regained its vitality.

  Basically, all kinds of civilian and military supplies from the United States are unloaded here, and then transported to various parts of the UK by train and truck.

"It was a very pleasant journey. It is our honor to meet Mr. Kahn." On the shore, Aldo, Winters and other officers reluctantly said goodbye to the girls, and then came to meet Josie one by one. Thank you and say goodbye, and there are even several military officers who promise to say that if you encounter any trouble in the UK, just look for them.

   But they are not bragging.

  Although Britain has not officially fallen, with the massive number of American soldiers stationed in Britain, the British mainland is actually not much different from being captured by the U.S. military.

   Throughout World War II, Germany brought hundreds of thousands of lives to Britain.

  But in fact, the U.S. military was even more ruthless, directly bringing 1.8 million lives to Britain.

  Look, only beautiful Chinese characters can express their meaning.

   It's just that the Germans used weapons, while the American soldiers used dollars, stockings or cans, chocolate, coffee, tea, or even just a few pieces of bread.

  For example, Piccadilly Circus in London is an entertainment center area in the 21st century.

   But now, it is a beauty pageant for American soldiers. At night, American soldiers light a match here and choose their prey for tonight.

There is also a scene that many people can't even imagine, that the British pilots are flying fighter planes and carrying out bombing missions to Germany, but in the rear, the American aviation soldiers are using trucks to take the British girls one by one Carriage to the barracks.

  If Josie remembers correctly, the person who did this feat seems to be the Eighth Air Force...

  The famous barbecue master Li Mei seems to be in the Eighth Air Force right now.

  Not long after these officers were picked up by the jeeps driven by their comrades-in-arms, the car that picked up Josie and the others also came... Well, two jeeps and a truck.

  Josie, Linden, and Whitney can take a jeep, but the girls can only take a truck for a while.

   But it didn’t take long for the grievances. As an important port, the Joint Labor Organization had a special station in the city to receive them who came to the army, and the environment was very good. It was originally a local high-end hotel.

  According to the normal arrangement, Josie and the others will stay here for one night, then take the train to London, and under the arrangement of the joint labor organization, they will start a tour in various US military units.

  But Josie isn't really here to work...

  So after arriving at the station, he left two bodyguards for the girls in his company, and then handed them over to the relevant person in charge of the United Labor Organization to lead the team.

   Unlike the local British girls, these native girls are not so easy to be bullied as American citizens, so Josie doesn't need to worry about their safety at all.

  As for Josie himself, he took Linden and the other four bodyguards, including Vito and Brook, to the US Logistics Department in Liverpool.

In just half an hour, Josie and the others used a box of "grape juice" prepared in advance and a small amount of US dollars to get a special pass for the start of the logistics department, and "rented" two iconic Willis of the US military in this era jeep.

   During this period, many businessmen in the United States who ventured to the UK to seek gold would basically do the same.

  The military often opens the door to convenience.

  Because these merchants often bring them some small gifts that are particularly popular in Britain.

   As for whether something will happen if you do this, don't make trouble, as long as the disaster is not your own, who cares about it?

   Allies? What happened to the allies? It's not that we support you, you Britain is long gone, what's wrong with being wronged?

  So don't say that the U.S. military protects its own weaknesses, even the top British officials can only turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

   Just kidding, the total number of allied troops in the UK is now 2.8 million, of which the US military accounts for more than half. How dare you say no to the UK?

  So even if they don’t wear military uniforms, Josie and his party are still unimpeded in this land by relying on the jeep marked by the US military and the special pass.

   And their first destination is Birmingham, which is only 160 kilometers away from Liverpool.

   Creepy, a few hours later, two jeepneys pulled up in front of an unassuming pub on the outskirts of Birmingham.

   "Boss, this is it!" Lyndon Schneider said, pointing to the tavern.

   Since Josie and the others came to the UK to do business, they naturally needed a partner.

  Theoretically speaking, the best partner for this cooperation should be the US military.

  But the U.S. military is too strong, and it’s okay to spend some money to use them as an umbrella, but if you really want to cooperate with them in business, Josie may only get a little leftovers.

  So wearing the tiger skin of the US military and cooperating with local gangs is the best choice.

  Since you want to choose local snakes like gangsters as partners, you have to choose the biggest one.

  The largest and most powerful gang in the UK is in Birmingham.

  Why Birmingham and not London?

  The reason is simple, there are too many powerful people in London.

  So there are many small gangs in London, but none of the big gangs.

   Is it true that the royal family is vegetarian?

   So Britain's biggest gangsters were never in London, but in Birmingham.

  Perhaps many foreigners have more impressions of Birmingham on the football team that is only at the Championship level, resulting in its reputation not being as great as Manchester and Liverpool.

   But in fact Birmingham is actually the second largest city in the UK.

   And they want to find this gangster, it is called the Razor Party!

   Josie and the others naturally don't know much about the gangs in the UK, but Linden, an old man, has been smuggled and smuggled on European and American routes, so he knows this Razor Party stronghold that many locals in Birmingham will know.

   "Americans? What are you doing here?" The appearance of two American jeeps made it impossible for the people in the tavern to be unaware. Soon a few people came out, looked at Josie and they asked with some vigilance.

   "We are businessmen from the United States. We have a business and want to talk to Mr. Thomas Shelby!" Linden straightened his shirt and stepped forward to answer the question.
