Chapter 209 (1/2)

The streets made of limestone are covered with mottled marks.

There was just a light rain and the ground was wet. As Joe had said before, the air of Ruhr was full of sour smell, which was the unique atmosphere formed by the large factories burning coal year after year, month after month.

When you look around, you can see tall chimneys everywhere.

Even at night, the chimneys are spitting out black smoke, and the factory buildings below are emitting red fire. There is a dull sound of steam hammers and sharp metal friction.

The power of industry!

Industrial aesthetics!

As the most important traditional industrial base for the beginning of the Empire, Ruhr is thick and hot, just like a lava lake deep underground, containing powerful and violent power.

Joe's back is quite different from that of David's.

The streets of Ruhr are still lively at night. There are workers who have just handed over from the door of the factory. They gather together to make friends and enter bars and pubs.

These bars and pubs are brightly lit, and powerful workers are here to eat, drink, and fill their empty bellies. At the same time, alcohol is used to eliminate the lack of body and soul.

There are drunkards waddling in the streets, but there are few fights in the street.

It is obvious that the people in Ruhr are more down-to-earth and more stable than those fanatical compatriots on the south coast. Even ordinary drunken workers have the traditional calm and resolute temperament of the imperial people.

Everywhere in the streets, we can see the figure of police wandering, they patrol in groups in their own jurisdiction, even in the late night, even if many police faces are tired, there is no slightest slack.

There is no doubt that the police in Ruhr are very conscientious and conscientious.

Compared with their counterparts in a small port in the south, these policemen are exemplary.

On the rusty iron lampposts along the road, the old-fashioned gas lamps give out dim yellow light. Each street lamp can only illuminate a small area near the lamppost.

The roadside buildings are tall, strong and square, without much aesthetic feeling. The exterior walls are mostly made of granite. The color is gloomy, cold and cold, hard and stubborn, just like the impression of the German Empire on outsiders.

Joe and the people around him were looking at the strange city with critical eyes.

Compared with port Tulun, which is passionate, wealthy, manic, full of artistic atmosphere and full of life interest, Ruhr city is a bit dull and boring, just like a giant machine in operation.

More than a dozen wagons marched forward in a row, packed with Billy and a group of police from port Toulon. The window opened and Billy and a group of guys poked their heads out of the window and looked around curiously.

Joe and his retinue were on horseback, and they were all the way with the carriage.

Because of the dim street lights, more than 100 guards of the Rito family all looked around with torch in their hands. They looked around in a low voice and commented on the streetscape of Ruhr.

In the leading carriage, mark and several of his subordinates drooped and said nothing.

”Too high profile.” After a long time, a police detective murmured, ”I feel like a group of bandits rushing into the city to rob. They fight openly and do whatever they want It doesn't look like you're here to investigate. ”

”They don't have the quality of a good detective.” Another detective was puzzled and looked at mark Police Academy: ”no matter how big the people are, is it useful to transfer these people here?”

Mark gave his subordinates a fierce look: ”obey orders, do your duty! Don't forget your oath when you joined the police station... ”

Through the window gap, he looked at the ”police” who were laughing on horseback outside. Mark turned his lips helplessly: ”maybe they are not suitable for investigation, but they are not weak.”

”It's said that during the day's attack, dozens of them were killed and wounded We have just fought a battle in the daytime, and now we can talk and laugh as if nothing happened. Our brothers don't have this ability... ”

Mark Police Academy's evaluation is very fair, can let Hessen send out, follow Joe all the way north of the family guard, but are the elite wits. It's true that they are not as effective as ordinary police.

Several detectives carefully observe the ”colleagues” outside through the window cracks, and then they have to admit that these unruly, unruly and fierce guys look really fierce.

The company crossed the streets and finally came to the heart of Ruhr.
