Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1149

Ashkenazi and Patton, like the British Empire and southern Africa today.

When Ashkenazy met Patton for the first time, he thought that Patton was just an officer student of the Royal Naval Academy, and he was also a gilded officer student of the Royal Naval Academy from overseas colonies. There is no need to emphasize the attitude of the British towards overseas colonies. In the last century, or even ten years ago, only those who could not get along in the British mainland would go to the colonies.

Ten years ago, southern Africa was only a dispensable overseas dominion for the British Empire. At that time, southern Africa was not as important to the British Empire as Egypt. After all, Egypt had the Suez Canal, and Cape Town had already declined. .

The strength that erupted in southern Africa during the World War made the British Empire face up to the existence of southern Africa for the first time.

Only then did the British Empire discover that Southern Africa, which was originally located at the ends of the earth, had unknowingly possessed such strong industrial strength and war potential, especially its industrial strength, which was so strong that it could support the Allied Powers against the Allied Powers with one place. .

It is a pity that the United Kingdom discovered this fact too late. It is impossible to restrict southern Africa now. After the end of the world war, southern Africa and overseas dominions such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are demanding greater autonomy. India I also hope that the United Kingdom can fulfill its previous promises. The British Empire won the world war, but the entire country is already on the verge of collapse, and it is impossible to maintain the previous relationship.

The Paris Peace Conference is not yet over. Yang Smozi and Louis Botha, who represented Southern Africa in the Paris Peace Conference, once again proposed to Winston the establishment of the Commonwealth of Nations. This suggestion was made by Roque before, but the conditions at that time were not yet Too capable, the British Empire still has the ability to maintain.

Now that the British Empire is in fact unsustainable, the Commonwealth of Nations is the most sensible choice under the current circumstances. George V and Winston also have to seriously consider the suggestions of Yang Smotz and Louis Botha.

The current Ashkenazi, just like the current British Empire, has finally begun to face up to Patton's strength. In fact, when Hannah canceled the lease contract with Ashkenazi, the relationship between Ashkenazi and Patton The relationship is gone, Ashkenazy just doesn't realize it.

"Can we have a good talk now?" Patton was calm, completely lacking in the decisiveness he had when he was the captain of the destroyer. His skills in self-cultivation are also good, and he is a bit of Rock's true biography.

"Of course, of course—" Now it was Ashkenazy's turn to be submissive, and now he looked at the watch on Hannah's hand with complicated emotions.

Think about it too, how can a person who can afford a watch worth 80 pounds be an ordinary person, an annual salary of [-] pounds is the current middle class, and [-] pounds is the income of an ordinary person for [-] years.

"How are you going to solve this matter?" Barton asked Ashkenazi to choose himself. It is obvious that he cannot fight a fight, and he cannot afford a lawsuit. Not many.

"I, I'll give you the money back—" Ashkenazi was smart, but it wasn't enough, the money was justified, and Ashkenazi didn't pay for his mistakes.

"How much are you prepared to pay?" Barton would definitely not let Ashkenazy go so easily, the villain still needs to be tortured by the villain.

"All of them, a total of 34 pounds—" Ashkenazy evaded the important point, if Ashkenazy said so the day before yesterday, then Hannah wouldn't have killed them all, now——

"How much should it be?" Barton asked Hannah, certainly not as much as Ashkenazy said.

"102 pounds, plus 1800 pounds for lawyer's fees." Hannah said with a serious face, and if she made a mistake, it would be fine if she apologized, so what would the police and the court do.

"Not that much, sir, I really can't afford to pay that much, it's outrageous—" Ashkenazy begged, whoever can afford an eight thousand pound watch, shouldn't be kind and generous to let him go .

"Well, the lawyer's fee can be waived, that's 102 pounds——" Barton doesn't want to kill them all, it really costs 1800 pounds, that's the rhythm of killing the Ashkenazy family: "—not less than a penny, now you Say one more word, and we'll see you in court."

Ashkenazy's face was pale, his body was on the verge of falling, his lips squirmed a few times, and finally he didn't dare to say a word, and left the hotel restaurant in a daze.

Back in the room, Hannah asked Button, "Why let him go so easily? You don't know how horrible his behavior was yesterday. He just slaughtered us like fat sheep. This kind of person should give him a break." A punishment he will never forget."

Hannah doesn't quite agree with Barton's way of handling it. Westerners don't have to forgive others. It's the white people's way of thinking to take advantage of your illness to kill you.

That's why Europe has so many precedents of carve-up at every turn. When they see a bargain, they swarm up, and if they don't take advantage, they suffer a loss. When dealing with white people, you must keep in mind the story of the farmer and the snake.

"Ashkenazi is very hateful, but not to the point of heinous crimes. This is not a question of money. Think about it. If we insist on letting Ashkenazi bear the lawyer's fees, what will be the impact? If other People hear about it, they don't ask why we insist on that 1800 pounds, they just accept the information they want to accept, two southern Africans raped two old Englishmen in Dartmouth, this kind of thing gets out It doesn't sound good." Barton is not short of money, but he is worried about the negative impact on southern Africa.

"Please, we are just two ordinary people. How could it be involved in the national image of southern Africa?" Hannah disagreed with Barton's statement. The influence between her and Barton was obviously not that great.

"Hannah, reality is always more absurd than fiction. If Ashkenazi did something more egregious, we would definitely hold him accountable, but he didn't." Barton patiently explained that he and Hannah had just married, It is still a cross-racial marriage of one Chinese and one white, so many things need to be adjusted. To increase understanding of each other, life can be harmonious.

"That's because he doesn't have the ability. If he has the ability, he will definitely go too far than us." Hannah still insisted that women with higher education are not so easy to persuade.

persuade!

This is good.

"Don't blame others for things that haven't happened." Barton decided to practice it personally. If something cannot be solved with one persuasion, it will be done twice.

Arriving at the Royal Naval Academy the next day, General Ceci Meredith, the instructor of Patton's senior officer command class, called Patton to his office.

"I heard that you and your landlord had some troubles?" General Ceci Meredith looked at Patton with complicated eyes.

Ashkenazi didn't know Patton's background, General Ceci Meredith did.

Not only did Patton have a father who served as a member of Congress in southern Africa, but also the Secretary of the Navy John Jericho and the Royal Navy legend John Fisher greeted him when he was enrolled.

The Royal Naval Academy greets many "relationship students" every year, but Patton is the only "relationship student" who can greet John Jericho and John Fisher at the same time for so many years.

"It's all over. Mr. Ashkenazi and I have reached a settlement. It's just a small misunderstanding." Patton can only be thankful that this matter has been resolved, otherwise Patton really couldn't give General Ceci Meredith a reasonable explanation.

"That's good. Our college is in Dartmouth. We still have to get along with the residents of Dartmouth. I know that Ashkenazi you're talking about. That guy is tough, old and stubborn." General Ceci Meredith finally breathed a sigh of relief. Don't think that the Royal Navy doesn't pay attention to military-civilian relations, and others do.

Of course, most of this "importance" is superficial, not the kind of "emphasis" that comes from the heart.

It depends on the relationship between the military and the people, or the specific situation in the context of the disaster. During the World War, because the army was treated better, the people in the UK complained a lot.

"You have been at the Royal Naval Academy for several days. How do you feel about the Royal Naval Academy?" General Ceci Meredith was concerned about Patton's feelings about the Royal Naval Academy.

"I am very grateful to the Royal Naval Academy for taking care of me. I used to work with the Lord. During the World War, I was sent to the Mediterranean Fleet by the Lord. Only then did I have some understanding of the navy. I also hope that studying at the Royal Naval Academy can improve My ability in this area." There was a lot of information revealed in Barton's words.

"Oh, the Marquis of Nyasaland?" Ceci Meredith suddenly realized that this was not just Rock alone. During the World War, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet was John Fisher, and John Jericho Once John Fisher's right-hand man.

This can also explain why John Fisher and John Jericho greeted Button at the same time, and I am afraid that it is mostly due to Rock.

"Yes, I was the lord's secretary at the time." Barton didn't mind revealing more of his background, just looking at Ashkenazi's arrogance and condescension, he knew that some people judge people by their appearance, some people are bullying and fear others, and some people just follow others , which is part of life.

"Then Colonel Patton, study hard. I hope you don't waste your time at the Royal Naval Academy." After learning about Patton's background, Ceci Meredith obviously expected more from Patton. This is the reality.

Leaving Ceci Meredith's office, Barton suddenly felt that he should buy a car for Hannah, and then hire a few more servants at home. If you have a car, you must have a driver. When the yard grows bigger, you need servants to mow the lawn. The garden, the house needs to be cleaned when it grows, and Hannah can't do all of these tasks.

There is no way to do it, as a human being, sometimes you have to be more high-key. Being low-key and high-key is not suitable for all scenarios.
