Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1160

Today's aviation technology has made great progress compared with before the world war.

Before the World War, Nyasaland's most advanced fighter jet had a combat radius of no more than 1200 kilometers, and its aviation machine guns could carry no more than [-] rounds of ammunition.

Today's fighter jets have a combat radius of more than [-] kilometers, and the number of bullets they carry exceeds [-]. Compared with before the world war, both the performance and reliability of the aircraft have been greatly improved.

The more advanced aviation technology is, the more difficult it will be for airlines in European countries to catch up. Rock is considering splitting Nyasaland Airlines into multiple airline companies to compete for the military and civilian markets respectively. This may happen in a short period of time. It will weaken the competitiveness of airlines to a certain extent, and in the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

NO.15, Roque, Anton and other Nyasaland senior officials went to Pretoria with Kitchener to attend the inauguration ceremony of Kitchener.

The appointment of the governor is a top priority for southern Africa. Since southern Africa is not yet ready to break away from the British Empire, the governor, as the representative of King George V of England, will enjoy the highest courtesy in southern Africa.

Before Kitchener arrived in Pretoria, Owen, who was already the mayor of Pretoria, prepared the new Governor's Palace for Kitchener.

The new Governor's Mansion is a magnificent granite building located on a hill overlooking the city next to Pretoria. In front of the Governor's Mansion is a neat and beautiful garden, surrounded by biggonias that are common in Pretoria Behind the trees is a verdant forest, and there is an artificial lake with a beautiful environment nearby.

In order to facilitate the life of Kitchener, the Pretoria City Government specially built a road for the Governor's Mansion and set up a no-fly zone around the Governor's Mansion. Security in the surrounding area.

On the first night when Kitchener came to Pretoria, he stayed at the Governor's Mansion. Roque specially prepared a convoy of Lord's cars for Kitchener. The family emblem, the mounted police on the latest motorcycles clear the way in front of the convoy, and the armored vehicles behind the convoy to ensure the safety of Kitchina's travel in southern Africa.

When he saw the convoy that Rock had prepared for Kitchener, Kitchener's expression was a bit complicated. The price of Lord cars is still high. The price of each custom car inlaid with badges has reached two in Europe. More than [-] pounds, and it takes four years for Kitchin to buy one with his own salary.

Yes, Kitchener's salary is 5000 pounds per year, which is about the same as the annual salary of a British cabinet minister, and much higher than Roque's annual salary. Roque's current annual salary is only 2000 pounds.

Opening the door, the thickness of the door was astonishing, and it had obviously been specially reinforced. Kitchina touched the glass, and the thickness of the glass was equally astonishing.

"This is the latest bulletproof car launched by Nyasaran Motor Company. It can withstand close-range shooting from pistols. At a distance of 200 meters, Lee Enfield's rifle bullets cannot penetrate the armor of the car, because a lot of armor is used, even Because we use the latest engine, the speed of the car is still only up to 30 kilometers per hour, which is not bad, and it will be more comfortable if the speed is slower." Rock took the initiative to introduce to Kitchener, and Nyasaland Motor Company is also eager People are anxious to think about what people think, as Lord cars are sold more and more, the Lord cars on the streets of London also tend to disappear from the crowd, so that those big nobles and businessmen have a demand for higher-end cars, bulletproof cars Came into being.

By the way, the brand name of this bulletproof car is Nyasaland, which represents the highest industrial achievement of Nyasaland.

"How much does such a car cost?" Kitchener wondered. The Lord's car was already expensive enough, and the Nyasaran car must be more expensive.

"15." The price Rock said surprised Kitchener, it was indeed expensive.

But it is obviously expensive and justified. Open the door, and there are two spacious sofas placed opposite each other in the car. Rock took the initiative to sit on the one with his back to the front, and gave the other sofa with a more comfortable viewing angle to Kitchener.

Kitchina is not polite, sitting on the sofa can actually cross his legs.

Rock opened the refrigerator hidden under the coffee table, took out a bottle of chilled wine and poured it for Kitchina, who immediately felt that 15 was really worth the money.

"The manufacturing process of this kind of car is very complicated, especially the outer armor. It is very difficult to make one car a week. Now there are only two Nyasaran cars in southern Africa, one for you and one for Prime Minister Milner. .” Rock himself was not willing to use Nyasaran cars, which cost 15 yuan, to replace a team of armored vehicles.

"It's too extravagant—" Kitchener said that he couldn't accept it, and now a destroyer only looks like 10,000+.

"It is indeed a luxury, but I have to admit that there is a market demand. I have given one to the king and the French president. Winston and Clemenceau will also spend money to buy it if they want to sit." Rock also has a purpose in giving away Yes, the king has them all. Would the prince want one? How about the duke?Where is the Marquis?

There are also those big businessmen who are known for their luxury. They have a higher demand for high-end consumer goods such as Nyasaran cars. Who doesn't want to have the same enjoyment as the king.

"Hehehehe, Locke, you shouldn't be the Minister of Defense—" Kitchener also understands the reason why the king brings the goods in person. It's like any new product from Itnor, which is always used by Phyllis and Ada. Similarly, as long as it is the clothes worn by Phyllis and Ada, or the accessories they have worn, they will always be sought after by the southern African ladies.

Rock laughed out loud. Nyasaland Motors has not been launched for a long time, but orders have been scheduled until the end of this year. Calculated at the rate of four vehicles per month, Nyasaland Motors has already received 40 orders, with a total value of 600 million rand, the profit is more than 300 million.

This pricing is already very conscientious in the luxury jewelry industry, and Yitnor’s profit is usually around 1500%, sometimes even higher.

The most profitable commodity in Eternal is all products related to diamonds. Now Eternal has begun to use the famous phrase "Diamonds are forever, one piece will last forever". With this sentence, the cost is even lower than that of gold. Diamonds can be sold for hundreds of times the price of gold, and the profits can be imagined.

The motorcade drove all the way, and when they came to the Governor's Mansion, it was of course magnificent. There are 185 rooms in the Governor's Mansion. The steps in front of the main building are divided into three parts, a total of 108 steps. Kitchener did not understand the special significance of the number 108. , but this does not prevent Kitchener from feeling the grandeur of the whole building, especially the 20 ten-meter-high white marble colonnades in front of the main building. I don’t know how much thought Owen spent to collect so many Top stone.

"Locke, this is too much. Buckingham Palace is not so luxurious. How can you sleep here?" Kitchener smiled wryly. The federal government did a little too much, and built this governor completely according to the specifications of the emperor. government.

"I think it's pretty good. You are the governor of Southern Africa. No matter how high your standards are, you can understand it." Rock really wasn't talking sarcasticly. The current Southern Africa is no longer the Southern Africa it was 20 years ago.

To put it bluntly, it is something that Kitchener feels luxurious, which is not uncommon in southern Africa.

Stoudemire's manor in Rhodesia covers an area of ​​15 square kilometers, and there is a whole mountain in the manor for Stoudemire to hunt and play.

Henry's home on the outskirts of Pretoria covers an area of ​​550 acres, including an artificial lake and a racetrack, because Henry's son likes airplanes, and Henry is said to be building an airport on his estate.

Needless to say, Rock, Eagle Fort is unique in Los Angeles and has the supreme authority.

In addition to Eagle Fort, Rock has assets all over southern Africa, and his manor in Pretoria is no less than Henry's manor.

Rock himself is now the largest landowner in southern Africa.

"It's too extravagant. I'll stay at the Rhodesia Hotel." Kitchener dared not accept it. Although southern Africa is far away from the emperor, don't think that southern Africa is a place outside the law. Rock is not afraid of the British government. , Kitchener cannot but pay attention to the effects.

"Don't be Marshal, don't worry, this is the property of the federal government, not a gift to you." Rock really didn't think it was too much. If Kitchener couldn't stand it, Rock would simply buy it and give it to Ada. Anyway, Ada's stupid and bold will definitely not care.

After several refusals, Kitchener finally accepted the federal government's kindness "reluctantly".

Then Kitchener immediately realized the benefits of climbing high and looking far.

Pretoria under the night is indeed really beautiful. When Kitchener led the British Expeditionary Force to capture Pretoria in 1901, Pretoria was devastated and almost turned into ruins.

After Ade came to Pretoria, the municipal construction of Pretoria began to enter the track.

After the establishment of the federal government, as one of the three capitals in southern Africa, the construction of Pretoria officially entered the fast lane. The tallest building in Nyasaland, the Los Angeles Tower, reached a height of 245 meters, and Pretoria did not Poor, now the tallest building in Pretoria is the 210-meter-high Rhodesia Hotel, which is located in the center of Pretoria, surrounded by several high-rise buildings, surrounded by the most prosperous Pretoria business district.

Sitting on the open balcony of the Governor's Mansion, you can clearly see the brightly lit Rhodesia Hotel. The air quality in southern Africa is really good. If you were in London, you probably wouldn't see anything, but in Pretoria Lia, the colorful city and the vast and bright Milky Way complement each other, and the silver moon in the sky is full of dreams like a fairy tale.

Feeling the gentle breeze around him, breathing the refreshing fresh air, drinking a sip of mellow and full-bodied wine, and leisurely leaning on the back of the cool and pleasant rocking chair, Kitchina fell in love with Pretoria instantly. In the city, there is no hasty pace of Los Angeles, no smog and smoke fans in London, and no hunger and death everywhere in the European continent. It is really a paradise.

ps: I'm sorry, I have something to do in the morning, I came back in a hurry to code a chapter, I only ate two bites of the meal, and I have to go out later——
