Also feeling terrified was Speaker Jada Brooke, who knew even less than Mayor Dursley. He had no idea how the whole thing happened or how it ended.
But this did not prevent Mr. Speaker Brooke from expressing his genuine respect for the naval captain.
After all, fear comes from the unknown!
At this time, Chief Yousoufa Bull, a pawn he had planted in the police station, found Speaker Brooke.
"Uncle, someone just notified me to go to the naval base to meet with Colonel Fang to report on my work. What should I do?"
Looking at his nephew who was trembling slightly in front of him, Speaker Brooke was a little worried, but he couldn't just ignore it.
I can only bite the bullet and say:
"Do you know what happened? Why was the Yakubu family wiped out overnight?"
Director Yusofa Bull thought, if I knew why, why would I come here to ask you? But facing his uncle's question, he could only shake his head and say:
...
...
“I don’t know either. After I received the news this morning, I wanted to ask the police about the situation. However, it turned out that all the policemen who were close to the Yakubu family were arrested by the military.
There is no way for me to get any information.”
I heard that all those who were close to the Yakub family were arrested. What accurate intelligence this must be!
Speaker Brooke felt a little chilly when he thought that there was a pair of invisible eyes silently watching his situation.
"Who informed you? How did they inform you?"
"It was a phone call to my pub, and I didn't see anyone there!"
Speaker Brooke is older after all and needs to be more patient.
"Then why are you coming to my place? Go report to Colonel Fang."
Poor Chief Youssoufa Bull didn’t even have the courage to compete with Chief Bill Yakubu, so how could he have the courage to face alone this ruthless man who wiped out the Yakubu family without a sound?
"But, I...I, I don't dare."
Looking at the useless nephew in front of him, Speaker Brooke wanted to kick him.
After thinking about it, he realized that he had never visited the head of the Military Control Commission alone, which was really impolite.
Looking at the current situation, the relationship between myself and this nephew must be known to others very clearly, so there is no need for me to hide it. It is better to face it openly and frankly.
He sighed and said:
"Ah! We will all have to face it sooner or later, so let's go together now!"
Hearing that his uncle was willing to accompany him, Director Yusuf Bull breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the big families like the mayor and the speaker who are terrified, ordinary citizens of Natal should not be too excited.
The leaders of the Roy Gang were basically caught in one fell swoop, and all the gangsters were arrested by the army soldiers early in the morning. Only a small number of them escaped by hiding in the corners.
However, the gangsters who had been hiding had long lost their former arrogance. What they feared most now was being recognized on the street, being told to the army and being arrested by the army.
There were no police on the streets for a while, but the security situation was much better than before the police came. Soldiers patrolling in jeeps could be seen on the streets from time to time.
This is a return to the martial law that everyone is familiar with.
Everyone was discussing what had happened to the Yakub family.
"Have you heard? There was a gunfight at the Yakubu family's beach villa last night, and all the Roy gang leaders and corrupt police were captured."
"But that's not all! All members of the Yakub family were wiped out."
"Why is that?"
"Don't you understand? Our good days are coming soon. The Military Control Commission has discovered the evil deeds of the Yakub family and will simply eliminate them."
"Then there will be no Roy to help us from now on, right? Do we not have to pay protection fees?"
"It's hard to say. If the Roy Gang wasn't there, there would be other gangs."
"Even if there are other gangs, they won't show up so early, so we will definitely have some time to relax."
"I heard that the girls we see disappearing every once in a while are kidnapped by the Roy Gang and given to the old patriarch of the Yakubu family to play with."
"Yeah! I heard that this time they rescued a girl who was kidnapped a few days ago. Unfortunately, she has been abused by those bastards with DP and is no longer recognizable."
"What? So that's how it is. It's a good thing these bastards are dead. We can finally have a few days of good life."
"Yes! These troops will be stationed in Natal permanently in the future. We can complain to the army later."
"Is that so? I wonder if I can join the army! Look at them sitting in jeeps, they look so impressive!"
Fang Lang had already anticipated what kind of reaction the market would have, and this was also what he hoped to see. As long as the army could maintain order, there was no need to worry about Natal becoming chaotic.
Director Yusofar Bull and Speaker Jada Brooke had just arrived at the gate of the naval base when they ran into Mayor Dursley. The two sides met at the gate of the base, but they did not feel surprised.
After exchanging a few polite words and hearing the order to let them go, everyone simply walked in together.
Arriving at the door of Fang Lang's office and waiting for the guard at the door to notify them, the three of them filed in.
Seeing the three people coming in, Fang Lang, who had just finished talking to Major Mike from the United States, nodded and motioned for everyone to sit on the sofa together, and called out to the guard outside the door:
"Guard, bring four cups of coffee."
There was a response from outside the door, and Fang Lang stood up and walked to the sofa. The few people who were about to sit down quickly stood up. After Fang Lang shook hands with them one by one, he gestured for them to sit down again.
Everyone sat down again. The three of them were obviously a little uneasy. Fang Lang saw it but didn't point it out. He just said calmly:
"Is there something important that the three of you are visiting together?"
The three of them looked at each other, and none of them was willing to speak first.
Finally, Mayor Dursley glared at the other two and said:
"Colonel Fang, regarding the bank's construction land, I have already reviewed it with Mr. Fang from Fangyuan Group, and he is very satisfied.
Now it's about the price, which may need to be discussed by the city council before it can be decided."
Speaker Brooke, who had been sitting nearby, watching the mayor's words and waiting for him to finish speaking, did not expect that the first thing would be related to him.
I tried hard to keep a calm expression, but I almost lost my temper. What bank construction land, what parliamentary discussion? I had no fucking idea about this!
Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and a thousand horses were running through my heart. I wanted to slap the mayor next to me to death.
Fang Lang glanced at Speaker Brooke's pale face and said with a smile:
"That's as it should be, Speaker Brooke. Fangyuan Group has set its sights on the trading center building across from the City Hall and Parliament, and plans to demolish it and build a bank there.
At that time, we will ask Speaker Brooke to discuss this matter in Parliament as soon as possible. We will pay the price accordingly. We cannot let the Natal City Government suffer any loss."
Fang Lang lightly mentioned the fact that Mayor Dursley was trying to trip up Chancellor Brooke.
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Speaker Brooke finally understood what was going on. He couldn't help but curse Mayor Dursley in his heart as a bastard and almost got ambushed by him.
“Ah! This is a good thing! Our parliament warmly welcomes a large enterprise like Fangyuan Group to invest in Natal.
As long as we receive documents from the municipal government regarding all land purchase issues, we will discuss them at the meeting as soon as possible and will never let investors wait.”
Secretly, Brooke also told Fang Lang that our council had not received the documents from the city government, so we didn't know about this matter yet.
Fang Lang certainly understood what was going on, and said with a smile:
"Very good. This is how efficient our parliament should be. We shouldn't argue over trivial matters and fail to reach a conclusion. By the time we reach a conclusion, the opportunity has already been lost!"
This can be considered a warning to Speaker Brooke.
When Speaker Brook heard this, he naturally became nervous.
He nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, Colonel Fang, you are right. When I return, I will convey your opinions to all the members. We will definitely follow your instructions and make this the most efficient parliament."
In fact, Speaker Brooke did not come here for anything specific today. He said he came here to accompany Director Youssoufa Bull, but in fact he also wanted to test Fang Lang's views on the parliament.
Now the goal has basically been achieved.
Fang Lang nodded after hearing Speaker Brooke's answer, and then said to Mayor Dursley:
"Mr. Mayor, since you and Mr. Speaker Brooke are both here today, I will explain to you my thoughts on Natal.
This is also my management philosophy as the head of the Military Control Commission. I hope you can understand and implement it.”
The two of them quickly sat up straight and nodded in agreement.
"I have been in Natal for a few days and learned about the situation there. The current economy is still mainly based on agricultural product trade, which is out of date.
Therefore, I introduced Fangyuan Group to invest and build a factory in Natal, hoping to guide the agricultural economy towards industrialization as soon as possible.
We must rely on our advantages in agricultural product resources to develop agricultural product deep processing industry and drive the development of industrialization.
In addition to the sugar factory that it will jointly establish with Mayor Dursley, Fangyuan Group is also planning to build a large textile factory in Natal.
In addition to the textile factory, I also plan to further print and dye the woven cloth and introduce clothing manufacturing enterprises.
In Natal, cotton is directly produced into cotton yarn, cotton cloth and then clothing, forming an industrial chain.
If Mr. Speaker Brooke is willing, I also hope that Speaker Brooke will actively participate in the process of industrialization.
The simple livestock slaughtering and processing can be further deepened, such as processing cowhide to make leather shoes, leather bags, belts, etc.
As for the beef after slaughter, we can divide it into different grades and then sell it to Europe and the United States.
You don't have to worry about the sales of our products. I will introduce Global Trade from the United States to Natal to purchase our products.
Europe and the United States are now in a period of recovery. If we don't take advantage of this time to speed up industrialization, it will be more difficult in the future.
If I remember correctly, in addition to making sugar, sugarcane can also be made into alcohol. These are industries we can develop, right? "
After hearing Fang Lang's words, both of them were excited. Of course, everyone knew that opening a factory could make money.
However, either they don’t have the money, or they don’t have the skills, or they are worried about not having a market.
Now that Fang Lang has resolved all their concerns, what else is there to say!
