Chapter 968 The News Connor Inadvertently Leaked

“Signing the contract is no problem, it’s exactly what I wanted!” Zhang Yunhe said with a smile.

Connor then added, "If the hospitals and patients report good results after receiving the first shipment, then we can sign a procurement contract for the next year starting the month after next!"

"If you can offer an additional 10% discount on the price, our pharmaceutical purchasing department will buy up all of your pharmaceutical production, no matter how much you produce!"

Zhang Yunhe was taken aback: "Director Kang Na wants to buy our pharmaceutical company's total output for the next year?"

Connor smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Yunhe was quite curious and puzzled: "Next month, our pharmaceutical company's output can reach 4 boxes, and it will increase by 50% every month thereafter. The output for the next year will be quite high. You are only fighting the Germans in North Africa now, and the scale of the war is not very large. You don't need that many boxes. Even the whole of Britain wouldn't need that many boxes!"

Connor shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you know what strategic reserves are? The scale of the war in North Africa is indeed not very large, but we will eventually launch a counterattack on the European continent. Therefore, we not only need to stockpile a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but also more medical supplies and medicines!"

"For example, all the weapons and ammunition we purchase from the Americas are stored in Liverpool, while the weapons and ammunition produced domestically are transported to Birmingham for storage as soon as they come off the production line! Medical supplies are also transported to London for storage after they are purchased."

Connor himself didn't realize how many secrets he had inadvertently revealed in his few words, but who was Zhang Yunhe? He was an intelligence officer, and he immediately memorized the names of those cities.

The purchase contract with Connor went smoothly. The contract stipulated that he must deliver 10,000 boxes of penicillin by the end of the month, and Connor would pay him the first third of the purchase price within three days.

The day after the purchase contract was signed, Connor, along with several staff members, personally handed over one-third of the payment to Zhang Yunhe at a hotel in London.

“Mr. Zhang, the first payment for the purchase has been made to you. I hope you can deliver the goods on time as stipulated in the contract. Otherwise, you will have to pay a huge amount of compensation if you exceed the time limit!” Connor said to Zhang Yunhe.

Zhang Yunhe shook hands with Connor and said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely deliver the goods on time!"

After watching Connor and several staff members leave the hotel, Zhang Yunhe didn't turn back to the hotel until the car they were in disappeared down the street.

He didn't plan to return to Hong Kong immediately. The pharmaceutical factory's production was being handled by Boss Lin, and the production scale was expanding, with daily capacity increasing. He didn't need to worry about it.

The island's military affairs are handled by Chief of Staff Tian Tao, and there are also dedicated officials and councilors for political affairs. Even if he is not present, they can handle things on their own, and even if a problem arises, he can get back within an hour.

He decided to visit Birmingham and Liverpool. As for London, although Connor said there were plenty of medical supplies stored there, he didn't plan to touch them, since they were meant to save lives.

The weapons and ammunition of Birmingham and Liverpool were different; they were all deadly and too dangerous. He decided to accept them with a smile.

Birmingham is located in the heart of England and has excellent transport links. In the event of war, weapons, equipment and ammunition can be transported from here to various locations by train at the fastest speed.

Weapons and ammunition destined for North Africa can be shipped directly from the port of Liverpool.

Zhang Yunhe arrived in Birmingham after lunch, and to make things easier, he disguised himself as an Englishman.

He walked the streets of Birmingham in a short-sleeved shirt, brushing past countless passersby.

As he passed the entrance to an alley, he saw a car parked inside.

Seeing that no one was in the alley, he immediately turned around, walked over, opened the car door, and got in.

Starting the engine without a key wasn't difficult for him; he bent down, disassembled the center console, and found the two ignition wires among a jumble of wires.

He took out pliers from his backpack and cut off the neutral wire, bypassing the keyhole, and started the ignition directly by contacting the neutral wire.

After several crackling sparks, the engine finally roared to life.

Get it!

He immediately drove the car out of the alley and onto the main street.

For the entire afternoon, Zhang Yunhe drove around the streets and alleys of Birmingham and the city's outskirts. Just as it was getting dark, he finally found the weapons and ammunition depot.

This area was originally a textile industrial base. At its peak, it had 17 textile factories. Later, these factories moved away one after another, and these factory buildings were left vacant.

After the Dunkirk evacuation, in preparation for the counter-offensive on the European continent, this factory was requisitioned to store weapons, equipment and ammunition produced by arsenals in various places.

An entire infantry battalion was stationed here to protect this weapons and ammunition depot.

It should be noted that at this time, the British Army operated in infantry battalions. A fully manned British infantry battalion consisted of 38 officers and 945 soldiers, a size of nearly 1000 men.

This ammunition depot has clearly been rebuilt within the last year or two. The walls between the various textile factories have been heightened and reinforced, and brick walls have been added to connect them into a single area, with the central wall also being removed.

Zhang Yunhe drove around the ammunition depot for a full 10 minutes before he could complete a full circle.

The wall facing the street is at least 4 meters high, and it is covered with barbed wire. It should not be electrified, after all, this is an ammunition depot. If it were electrified, and a wiring problem caused an electrical spark that accidentally detonated the bombs or explosives inside, the entire city could very well be razed to the ground.

With a 4-meter-high wall and a 2-meter-high barbed wire fence, the total height is six meters. Not to mention ordinary people, even specially trained elite soldiers would not be able to easily sneak in if there were guards and patrols.

Some of the original factory gates and other doors were sealed off with brick walls. Zhang Yunhe observed that the entire ammunition depot had only one main gate, with a small door next to it for guards and loading/unloading workers to enter and exit. Apart from that, there were no other doors.

While driving along the main street outside the ammunition depot's perimeter wall, Zhang Yunhe noticed that every 100 meters inside the wall, there was a lookout tower, with two fully armed soldiers on guard duty on each tower, which also had large searchlights and light machine guns.

He even heard the sound of military off-road vehicles driving inside the wall. He guessed that the guards inside were patrolling in vehicles, since the ammunition depot was too big and it would require too many patrol personnel if they relied on foot patrols.
