Chapter 1150 Dancing Girl

It is the Chinese tradition to be low-key and high-key to do things. This is not the case in the UK. The British don’t like to be low-key and introverted. You must enjoy the life of any class. You are a high-ranking nobleman. If you live your life like Grandet ridiculed.

Barton is not an aristocrat, but as a naval officer with a strong background, it is also necessary to create an untouchable character, which may be despised by truly educated people, but there are very few truly educated people in this world after all , more of them are ordinary people. In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no personal cultivation, only they can't be provoked or can be bullied casually.

Barton didn't want to be bullied casually, even if it seemed that he could be bullied casually.

After school, Patton called the person in charge of Nyasaland Company in the UK, and the person in charge quickly sent the car over by cargo ship, and what was sent was the Lord car, two cars directly, which made Patton worry again .

The person in charge is kind, but the Lord's car is too expensive. Even the head of the Royal Naval Academy can't afford the Lord's car. It would be too ostentatious for Barton to drive the Lord's car to the school.

There is also a limit to being high-profile, no more, no less than ordinary people, as long as it is too high, it is easy to flash your waist.

So the Lord car was replaced with a more common Diesel. Diesel is a civilian car produced by Nyasaland Automobile Group. Although it is a "civilian" in name, the price is not cheap. A car costs 150 pounds. Much more expensive than an American Ford.

The better point is that Ford Motor has not aggressively attacked Europe yet, and the sales of Nyasaran Motor Group's products in Europe are not bad.

However, Nyasaran Motor Group has begun to pay attention to the threat of Ford Motors. If it really wants to reduce costs, Nyasaran Motors Group also has a way. At least in terms of human resources, the cost of Nyasaran Motors Group is much lower than that of Ford Motors. Many, now Nyasaran Motor Group has begun to develop lower-priced cars, ready to deal with Ford's possible competition at any time.

Last year, the total output of Ford cars reached 200 million, and the annual output exceeded 50 for the first time. Now Ford is still increasing production lines, trying to increase the annual output to 100 million.

The output of Nyasaran Motor Group is slightly lower than that of Ford, only about 35 vehicles.

Although there is a gap in the numbers, the difference in production capacity is actually not that big. Ford Motor now mainly produces Model T cars. In order to further reduce costs, Ford Motor even only produces black cars using cheap Japanese dyes. Pile up to 50 vehicles.

The Nyasaland Automobile Group has a richer product line. In addition to the cheap Diesel and the expensive Lord, it also produces armored vehicles and tanks. During the World War, the Nyasaland Automobile Group produced a total of nearly 10 armored vehicles and vehicles. Tanks, now this part of the production capacity is gradually being transferred to civilian vehicles. In time, the output of Nyasaland Automobile Group will increase by leaps and bounds.

In early February, before Angie's wedding, Viscount Gladstone's term as Governor-General expired, and the new Governor-General was Horatio Kitchener, Secretary of War during the World Wars.

For southern Africa, Horatio Kitchener also has special feelings. During the Boer War, the British Expeditionary Force defeated the Boer coalition forces under the command of Kitchener, and only then did Southern Africa come into being.

Interestingly, the Governor of Southern Africa at that time was Adelaide, and Kitchener was the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force. Now Kitchener is the Governor, and Adelaide has become the Prime Minister of Southern Africa, and they are still their partners.

Kitchener's passenger ship arrived at Walvis Bay on February [-], and Angie's wedding was held on February [-]. Originally, Kitchener was going to take the train to Pretoria to attend the handover ceremony of the governorship. Rock Well in time to meet Kitchener in Pretoria after attending Angie's wedding.

However, Kitchener did not follow common sense and took a direct flight from Walvis Bay to Los Angeles. This caused Kitchener to also arrive on February [-]th, so Rock will be very busy on February [-]th. , I will attend Angie's wedding in the morning, and I will meet Kitchener at the airport in the afternoon.

As prime minister, Adelaide could not leave Pretoria, and Philip flew to Los Angeles on behalf of the Southern African Federal Government to welcome Kitchener.

"Our governor is really a bit weird, and I don't know how you can bear it." Philip didn't like Kitchener, who was notoriously weird.

Similar to the direct flight from Walvis Bay to Los Angeles this time, in fact, it is not without a criminal record. During the Boer War, Kitchener often suddenly decided to go to a certain place for inspection, and then Kitchener would take the guards and take the train to go. Notify anyone in advance.

This time Kitchener made another surprise attack. He did not go to Cape Town, Pretoria, or Bloemfontein, but came directly to Los Angeles. Rock and Nyasaland's attention, and at the same time prove that Kitchener is still the stubborn Kitchener, and has not changed because he commanded the British Army to win the World War.

"I feel fine. Compared with those who eat vegetarian meals, Marshal Kitchina's character can be ignored." Rock doesn't think this is a major shortcoming. There are people with bigger shortcomings than Kitchina. It would be better for Chinna to succeed Viscount Gladstone as Governor of Southern Africa than any other.

At least Kitchener is familiar with Adelaide, Roque and other senior officials in southern Africa, which is more conducive to the communication between the British mainland and the federal government of southern Africa.

After the end of the World War, the relationship between southern Africa and the British mainland entered a new period. Not only did southern Africa have to adapt, but the British government also had to adapt. At this time, the task on the shoulders of the governor of Kitchener was very heavy, to maintain the Relations between Southern Africa and British mainland.

Now for the British mainland, southern Africa can be said to be the most important part of the British Empire. Compared with southern Africa, even India's human resources are no longer so important.

"Lord, it's time—" Fitch knocked on the door, reminding Rock and Philip to go to the wedding venue in advance.

The wedding was held at the Matilda Church in Los Angeles. Paul Morgan, the Archbishop of the Protestant Southern African Diocese, presided over the wedding of Angie and Qiao Jingyan. The wedding ceremony was not completely in accordance with the Protestant procedures, and there were no officiant witnesses. It is said that the groom and the bride are the absolute protagonists of the wedding.

Because the groom and the bride's father are very busy today, the wedding process has been simplified to the extreme, and because Rock and Philip are present, the atmosphere of the wedding is also a bit solemn, and several of Qiao Jingyan's colleagues also I attended the wedding, but they were all shivering in the corner of the auditorium, not daring to make a sound. With Rock's status, he would definitely not do anything like blow a whistle to brighten the atmosphere. The wedding will proceed according to the normal procedure.

The entire wedding took only 45 minutes. After the wedding, Roque and Philip and other senior officials didn't even have time to attend the wedding banquet, so they went directly to the airport to greet Kitchener.

Los Angeles Airport is not far from the Matilda Church. It was rebuilt by the flying club where Angie learned flying skills. Now the airport is of course large in scale. In addition to the brand new terminal building, a spacious and flat runway has also been built. For large aircraft to take off and land.

Small planes are different from large planes. Military fighter jets can take off and land on any flat grass, while large planes need well-equipped airports. Compared with bombers, civilian planes emphasize comfort, and flat and wide runways are essential.

At exactly twelve noon, Kitchener's plane landed at Los Angeles Airport on time.

Rock still prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Kitchener at the airport. The red carpet guard of honor was complete with gun salutes. When Kitchener walked down the gangway, Philip stood at the front of the welcome line, followed by Rock, and Rock Behind Ke is Anton.

Surprisingly, Kitchina's expression was not relaxed, even a bit serious, which is unusual. Generally speaking, even if Kitchina doesn't like Nyasaland, he should pretend to like Nyasaland at this time.

Kitchener was not good at disguising.

It doesn't matter if you are unhappy, the Federal Government of Southern Africa has passed the point of wanting to curry favor with London at any time. Even if Kitchener doesn't like Southern Africa, it can't change the current status quo of London and Southern Africa.

"Marshal Kitchener, welcome to Nyasaland—" Rock said little when he shook hands with Kitchener.

"Lock, long time no see—" Kitchener said even less, and Rock even saw the pain in Kitchener's eyes.

The emotion of pain really seldom appeared in Kitchina.

Because Kitchener was not in a high mood, the guard of honor ceremony prepared by Roque was useless. Kitchener and Roque got into the same car and sat in the car. Kitchina frowned, looking preoccupied .

Since Kitchina didn't say anything, Roque didn't ask. The car drove out of the airport and entered Sunset Boulevard. Looking at the Niassa Lake next to Sunset Boulevard, Kitchina finally spoke.

"I'm very sad today. Just as I boarded the plane, the Military Intelligence Bureau arrested Chris—" Kitchener leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes in pain. Chris was one of the people who worked next to Kitchener. Roque also knew an officer.

"Why?" Rock was surprised, and his expression was instantly gloomy.

"Chris had an undeserved relationship with a German dancer during the World Wars, and MII believes that Chris leaked information about the expeditionary force to the dancer—" Kitchener was not aware of the situation when he spoke seriousness.

Rock didn't speak, but Kitchener didn't know, but Rock knew. In another time and space, it seems that an officer next to Kitchener leaked Kitchener's whereabouts to a German dancer, which led to Kitchener's whereabouts. Died en route to Russia.

But what Rock is concerned about is not this. What Rock is concerned about is that the Military Intelligence Bureau dared to blatantly tear up the agreement with Brad's office, and still has activities in southern Africa. This is too much!

ps: There was a power outage at home in the morning. I thought it was a large-scale power outage, but it turned out that only my house had a power outage in the afternoon—and today is Sunday, and the electrician does not go to work, so this chapter is coded by mobile phone——
