Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1070 Fancy touts

A turmoil disappeared, but the story did not end. On the next day's newspaper, there was a news about Angel speaking out, and a photo of Angel saluting to the veteran appeared.

In the photo, An Qi has a serious expression, a tall and straight figure, and a standard saluting hand.

The old soldier was still holding the money given by An Qi. He looked at An Qi with excitement, and his right hand that returned the gift was missing three fingers.

People around were applauding, looking at the pair of soldiers in the center of the photo with admiration, one is British, one is French, one is young, one is middle-aged, one is full of vigor, one is Can Zhijian.

The headline used by Le Figaro was "What should we do with our heroes?" ", the article introduces in detail the veterans of the Southern African Expeditionary Force who returned to Southern Africa after being disabled due to injuries, and the heroic treatment they received after returning home, as well as the government agencies, social organizations, enterprises, and soldiers at all levels in Southern Africa. The role played by service agencies and even the communities where veterans live is in this process.

The article also quoted an interview with a disabled veteran in The Times last year. When the veteran returned to southern Africa, he received a hero medal and three service medals, which means that the veteran was at least three times. After recovering from injury, he still returned to the battlefield, and did not retire from active service until he could not continue to fight.

The veteran introduced himself that after retiring, he could receive a five-rand reward from the Southern African Ministry of Defense every month. At the same time, because of the four military medals, the veteran could also receive an additional five-rand subsidy, because the veteran France has a broken leg, so she can still get three rands of disability allowance every month, which does not include the veteran benefits provided by the Nyasaland State Government and the Los Angeles City Government every quarter.

Because the veteran is not very old, only 26 years old, he can continue to work, so the Nyasaland Rifle Association specially hired veterans as shooting instructors to guide members of the Rifle Association who practice shooting in the shooting club. This job is also paid, and As much as 15 rand a month.

So on the whole, even without considering the benefits provided by the federal government departments at all levels and the military service agency, the veteran who was disabled due to injury can get an annual salary of about 336 rand per year.

336 rand, according to the exchange rate before the outbreak of the world war, is equivalent to about 8400 francs. Before the outbreak of the world war, the middle-class standard for French families was an annual income of more than 4000 francs.

It should be higher now because the franc has depreciated severely.

But in southern Africa, the annual salary of 336 rand is enough for a veteran's family to live comfortably. With this salary, he can support ten people without any problem.

Le Figaro is to France what The Times is to England.

So after the "Le Figaro" published this report, many French people had a deeper understanding of southern Africa.

A physically disabled veteran can live comfortably in southern Africa, but what about doctors and engineers with higher status?What about university professors?Where's the lawyer—

Forget about lawyers, Le Figaro specifically noted in the report that the profession of lawyers is not popular in Southern Africa. The Ministry of Justice of the Federal Government of Southern Africa has strict regulations on the profession of lawyers. In Europe, lawyers are very noble Because of the rich income, lawyers are the core members of the upper class.

But in southern Africa, lawyers are just like other ordinary people, there is no obvious difference in income, and their social status is even lower than that of engineers in factories.

After the French newspapers reported on the incident, in the next six months, about 15 French people chose to immigrate to southern Africa. These people are basically teachers, doctors, engineers, accountants and other so-called members of the upper class. .

Of course, there are more ordinary people who want to immigrate to southern Africa, but the current southern Africa is no longer the southern Africa that welcomes all new immigrants. Europeans want to immigrate to southern Africa. In addition to documents to prove their strength, Legal proof of no criminal history is also required.

It is said that if the requirements are stricter, there should be fewer and fewer new immigrants. In fact, on the contrary, the stricter the requirements of the Southern African federal government for new immigrants, the more people want to immigrate to Southern Africa.

After all, in the former colonies, only thieves and liars who could not get along in Europe would choose to immigrate.

Now that southern Africa has jumped out of this shackle, only those who perform well are eligible to immigrate to southern Africa. Therefore, the status of southern Africa in the hearts of Europeans has immediately widened the gap with that of Americans.

In the general consciousness of Europeans, the United States is still a country composed of thieves and liars. Even in the world war, the United States suffered tens of thousands of casualties in Europe. This concept is still deeply rooted in the hearts of Europeans.

Roque also became a beneficiary of the concentrated reports of French newspapers this time. When publishing this news, almost all newspapers used the picture used by "Le Figaro" to report this news.

Only "Les Echos" took a different approach. The editor of "Echos" bought a photo from a private person at a price of 150 francs. , Rock's figure suddenly appeared.

It was only then that people noticed that An Qi was Rock's personal adjutant, and it was self-evident why Rock was there.

"Look at what the newspapers said: 'The most brilliant, the greatest, the most gentleman, the most heroic, the most tenacious, the most capable of turning the tide, and the best miracle-making general of the coalition army in history. I feel blushing, I can't give Earl Nyasaland the title of marshal of seven countries, but I can put seven words that I think are the most beautiful on Earl Nyasaland to express my respect for Earl Nyasaland Respect, thank you, Marshal Locke, for leading the British Expeditionary Force to save Paris many times when our country was unable to resist the invaders, and for the gift you gave us when our government failed to take care of our heroes The hero's most timely help, 120 pounds is not much for the Earl of Nyasaland, but the feelings contained in this 120 pounds are worth remembering forever—'" Winston finished reading the rainbow fart in one breath, and then put down the newspaper He stomped his chest: "—this is what happened after you left my office that day? Why didn't you call me? Damn it, I also want to feel the feeling of being praised——Unfortunately, the newspapers in London special Why would you just scold me—"

This is not because of Winston’s misfortune. The public opinion environment of the British Prime Minister is indeed a little bad. The poor performance of the government is due to the lack of leadership of the Prime Minister. The outbreak was caused by the prime minister's failure to handle the relationship with Germany well.

In this regard, Winston said that he has something to say, does William II want to rebel and has something to do with Winston?

Even if it had something to do with the British Prime Minister, it was also the responsibility of the British Prime Minister Asquith at the time. Can you get in touch with Winston?

Of course, when Asquith was in office, Winston’s public opinion environment was much better. For Winston, the "Times" is affectionate and hates iron, but for Asquith, the British newspaper is How cruel!

It's almost like the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife.

"It's not the actor I hired, but I happened to be on the scene at the time. It's easy to do if you want to. Go to the streets of Paris and there are many people waiting for you to save." Rock didn't lie, the newspaper said After this incident was intensively reported, there are now veterans setting up stalls everywhere in Paris, and some people still wrote on the stalls with big signs: Marshal Locke, here is also a desperate veteran who needs your rescue——

After that, Roque also drove through the streets of Paris many times, but Roque never got out of the car.

Go to the rescue one by one——

Can it be saved?

"Hmph, the first person to do this is an angel, and the second person to do this is Shakespeare—" Winston said sweetly. .

Rock pursed his lips without talking nonsense, and directly told Winston about the business: "The Nejd Sultanate has controlled the Mesopotamia since at least three years ago, so there should be no dispute over the ownership of the Mesopotamia. The lands along the river, France played no role at all in defeating the Ottoman Empire."

"The French have more or less played a role. Aren't there two French divisions in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force—" Winston and Mui, he hoped that Rock could make some concessions, otherwise the British government would have to Make greater concessions in other directions.

The Rock and the British government here are separate.

While the French newspapers were touting Roque, negotiations were underway.

In the previous days of negotiations, France also made territorial claims on Mesopotamia

"Those two divisions were colonial servants from the French East Indies. The two divisions had only 3 people, while our British Expeditionary Force had a full 24 people, so the contribution of 3 people can be compared with 24 people. Is it?" Rock firmly disagreed, Mesopotamia is the essence of the Middle East, even if an inch is taken away by the French, Rock will feel distressed.

Moreover, even if the French took it away, they would not be able to keep it. In the end, it was cheaper for the local aborigines, so it is most appropriate to give the entire Mesopotamia to southern Africa for management.

"South Africa has already taken Southwest Africa and Tanganyika. It is normal to make some concessions in the Middle East. I know what you care about is oil. It is impossible not to give the Mediterranean coast to the French—" Winston is now trying to balance things out. Southern Africa has already taken Southwest Africa and Tanganyika. If the Mesopotamia is taken away, will Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have any objections?

Don't forget that there are Indians clamoring for independence.

It is indeed not easy to be the prime minister.
