Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1151 was ignored

Although the London Military Intelligence Bureau has fallen into the sand in southern Africa, its work in Europe is still fruitful. Half a month ago, the Military Intelligence Bureau arrested a dancer named Mata Hari in Paris. Mata Hari was originally from Germany. Serving German intelligence agencies, he became famous in Paris, had affairs with many high-ranking French officials, and met Chris, who worked next to Kitchener during Kitchener's visit to Paris.

This is not what makes Rock angry. There is no problem with the arrest of Chris by the Military Intelligence Bureau, but there is a problem with the arrest of Chris by the Military Intelligence Bureau in southern Africa.

According to the previous agreement between the Military Intelligence Bureau and Brad, even if Chris has military membership and is a standard British person, then when Chris comes to southern Africa with Kitchener, the Military Intelligence Bureau should first notify Brad of the relevant situation. , Then Brad sent someone to arrest Chris, and finally extradited to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Rather than not notifying Brad at all like now, Chris was directly arrested in Walvis Bay.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of law enforcement power. Under the premise that southern Africa already has a high degree of autonomy, British law enforcement agencies have lost law enforcement power in southern Africa, so the arrest of Chris by the Military Intelligence Bureau in Walvis Bay is itself illegal.

As for another space-time Kitchener who was killed on the way to Russia, the follow-up investigation results are also more complicated, involving the cooperation between the Royal Navy and the Army. There are also serious problems in the intelligence bureau and operations department within the Royal Navy, which finally led to the death of Kitchin. Of course, Chris' leak is also one of the reasons for the serious consequences of Na's death.

Now Kitchener is still alive and well, and his physical and mental condition looks pretty good. Rock also hopes that Kitchener can better act as a lubricant between southern Africa and the British government. It would be great if everyone can make money together. The military situation Such crazy introversion and mutual conflict will sooner or later be abandoned by the times.

"Chris has worked by my side for many years, and I didn't expect to do this kind of thing. It should be my fault. If I had been stricter with Chris, then this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." Qin Na is very guilty, and it is understandable to think about it. If something like this happened to Angel or Barton, Rock would definitely feel guilty too.

"Marshal, it's not your fault. Chris is an adult and should be responsible for his actions." Roque tried his best to comfort him. Kitchener was already in his [-]s and had served the British Empire all his life. Unexpectedly, At this time, the late festival is not guaranteed.

No matter what Roque said, Kitchener must be responsible for this kind of thing happened to the people around Kitchener. This is also a big and small scandal for the War Department. Rock can now understand Winston Why let Kitchena come to southern Africa? This is also protecting Kitchena to a certain extent.

"Don't comfort me, I won't be defeated, but what's the matter with you? Is it not good for southern Africa to stay in the British Empire? Why do you want to do this?" Kitchener didn't need Rock's comfort at all, and the topic changed immediately To Southern Africa and the relationship of the British Empire.

"What?" Rock was at a loss, not knowing what Kitchener was referring to.

"The Commonwealth of Nations! Didn't you instruct those two Boers to propose it?" Kitchener still has prejudices against the Boers, and he is indeed a eccentric and stubborn little old man.

"Marshal, regardless of whether Yang and Louis proposed the Commonwealth of Nations or not, do you think the previous model between the British Empire and the overseas dominions is still suitable for the current situation?" Rock did not directly deny that the establishment of the Commonwealth was definitely not Luo Ke Just after Yang Smozi and Louis Botha proposed the establishment of the Commonwealth of Nations, the opinion of one person was unanimously agreed by the representatives of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. Even the colony of India welcomed the proposal of the Commonwealth of Nations , the situation has become irreversible.

"In any case, you in southern Africa shouldn't have made this suggestion—" Kitchener also knew that today was different, but the traditional soldier's deep-rooted thought of loyalty to the monarch made Kitchener unacceptable.

"It doesn't matter who proposes it. Of course, it's best for London to propose this initiative, but London will not do this." Rock disagreed with Kitchener's view. The economic base determines the superstructure, and the industrial output value of southern Africa exceeds that of the British mainland. In a moment, today's result was doomed.

While Rock and Kitchener were discussing heatedly, a car passed by the Rand Bank headquarters building. Kitchener was obviously shocked by the 230-meter-high main building, and forgot to argue with Rock for a moment.

"This is the headquarters of the Rand Bank in Nyasaland. It is 230 meters high, and it is the pride of Nyasaland." Rock explained softly. London does not have such a tall building. The Big Ben that makes Londoners proud is only 97 meters .

Of course, Big Ben has become the pride of Londoners, not because of its height, but skyscrapers undoubtedly represent the pinnacle of industry in the region. Comparing Big Ben with Nyasaland headquarters, one new one The symbolic meaning represented by the old is more worth pondering.

"It's incredible, when was this building built?" Kitchener's impression of Nyasaland is a virgin forest. Even during the World War, Nyasaland's products were sold in Europe, Kitchener never expected However, Nyasaland actually came face to face with such a shocking situation.

"About two or three years ago, I didn't know. I was in Europe at the time." Roque didn't care about these things, and now Roque is also a high-level man. He doesn't ask about small things like building skyscrapers.

Kitchener stopped talking, leaned back in the chair and watched the fleeting street scene outside the car window in silence.

Sunset Boulevard is indeed quite good. It has a width that is rarely seen in British cities. Most of the streets in the UK are narrow and curved. There are few straight streets like Sunset Avenue with a width of about [-] meters. Green belts are used on both sides of the street to isolate different There are rows of shops in the driveway, and many shops use colorful neon lights on their signboards. Although it is daytime, those shops still turn on the lights to attract customers, as if the electricity bill is free.

Kitchener suddenly realized a problem. Even if the lights can be turned on during the day, the power supply in Los Angeles should be sufficient, which is also not possible in London now.

London can only achieve stable power supply in the main urban area, and the power supply in the suburbs is also unstable, and most ordinary households can't afford electric lights at all. This is a huge difference from Los Angeles. Street lights have been installed next to Sunset Avenue, and they are still very dense.

Because of the arrival of Kitchener, Sunset Boulevard was temporarily closed, and police cars were on duty at every intersection. The police cars in Nyasaland are painted in blue and white, which looks pleasing to the eye, but it also costs more It's a pity that Kitchina hasn't noticed this yet.

In addition to the Rand Building, the buildings on both sides of Sunset Avenue are also very charming. The wooden houses on both sides of the street were gradually replaced by white marble buildings. There are many buildings with a height of more than ten floors, and the buildings with only two or three floors are more than ten meters high. , the roof is also usually decorated with sculptures and minarets.

The density of parks, squares and green spaces on both sides of the road is also surprising. For London, where every inch of land is expensive, this situation is almost impossible to happen, but in Los Angeles, there are such public parks almost every few hundred meters. place.

The flatness of the road also surprised Kitchener. For a big city like Los Angeles, it is easy to build a road like Sunset Avenue, but the subsequent maintenance is even more troublesome. The Los Angeles city government has obviously done a good job in this regard , the car drove all the way, and Kitchener didn't even feel the bumps.

"It's unbelievable. It hasn't been long since Nyasaland became your fief—" Kitchener was reflecting. Compared with Lan, the fief of Kitchener--

Not to mention.

"The current Nyasaland is not due to me alone. You know, I don't have much time in Nyasaland every year." Rock is not proud, Nyasaland can still be better.

The car drove all the way and came directly to the Rhodesia Hotel, where Kitchener stayed during his stay in Los Angeles.

Because Kitchener traveled a long distance, it was Kitchener's welcome dinner in the evening. After Rock and Philip sent Kitchener to the room, there was still time to go to Angel's wedding banquet to send blessings to the two newlyweds.

After returning to Eagle Fort, Rock called Fox over and asked Fox if he knew that the Military Intelligence Agency had arrested Chris in Whale Bay.

"The Military Intelligence Bureau did not inform us of the situation in advance. After the Military Intelligence Bureau knew of Chris' mutiny, Chris was already on the way to Walvis Bay with Marshal Kitchener. As soon as Chris got off the ship, the Military Intelligence Bureau arrested Chris. Then we put on the passenger ship back to London, and when we knew the situation, the passenger ship Chris was on had already left Walvis Bay." Fox was full of guilt, and he didn't expect the Military Intelligence Bureau to do this. It was not long after the agreement was reached, and the Military Intelligence Bureau Take the initiative to tear up the agreement.

"Send a telegram to London, please give a reasonable explanation from London, and sort out a list of members of the Military Intelligence Bureau by the way, if London does not give a reasonable explanation, then all Military Intelligence personnel in southern Africa Entry is strictly prohibited." Rock will not let the Military Intelligence Bureau go easily, there is a second time in everything, if Rock tolerates it, it will only make the Military Intelligence Bureau more arrogant.

"Military Intelligence has a few companies here that are engaged in trade between southern Africa and the mainland. Do you want to attack these companies?" Fox was also very angry. The London Military Intelligence simply ignored Brad. , otherwise there would not even be a briefing.

"Then do it right away, and find a way to let London know that southern Africa is no longer the southern Africa of the British Empire." Rock will never back down. Britain can appoint a governor of southern Africa, but it cannot send intelligence to southern Africa People, that's Rock's bottom line.
