Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1171 MI[-]

In the entire Adan Islands, there are actually few islands suitable for human habitation.

The Aldan Islands are composed of several archipelagos, including the Egmont Islands in the southwest, the Salomon Islands in the northeast, and the Perus Bardanius Islands in the north. There are more than 2000 islands in total, with a total area of ​​about 60 square kilometers. .

Zhenghe Island, the largest island in the Adan Islands, has an area of ​​27 square kilometers, a reef area of ​​174 square kilometers, and a central lagoon of about 150 square kilometers. It is a natural harbor with the best natural conditions in the Indian Ocean.

Since the first batch of immigrants arrived on Zhenghe Island in 1909, Zhenghe Island has become the most important supply base in the Indian Ocean. There are now about 80.00 residents living on Zhenghe Island, of which more than 20.00% are mercenaries and their families of the umbrella company , the remaining [-]% are the staff of the supply base. The tax officer Huang Liang sent by the Nyasaland State Government to Zhenghe Island is the highest administrative official on the island. Zhu Jun, the senior director of the umbrella company, is in charge of the security work of the entire Adan Islands.

Zhenghe Island is sunny and windy in March. It is located in the center of the Indian Ocean and has a mild climate all year round. The annual average temperature is 24-29°C, and the absolute maximum temperature rarely exceeds 32°C.

The main income of Zhenghe Island comes from providing supplies for passing ships. There are warehouses for storing high-quality thermal coal and fuel oil on the island. With the improvement of voyage technology, more and more ships choose to stop at Zhenghe Island to replenish supplies. There is a small hospital and a primary school on the island. Huang Liang applied to build a middle school on the island last year, but due to the lack of teachers, the middle school has not yet been constructed.

"In three months, our first batch of primary school students will be graduating from primary school. Should we send them to Port Edward to attend secondary school? So this problem must be resolved before school starts in the second half of the year." Zhu Jun wants to hire for the island Bing's family members are in charge. Although Zhenghe Island has a small population, it has a large number of students. This year, nearly 150 students graduated from elementary school. It is imperative to establish a middle school.

"I know, I know, my daughter is also graduating this year, and I don't want my daughter to go to Port Edward to go to high school." Huang Liang is also troubled by this problem. Zheng He Island is not short of money. Hundreds of thousands of tons, just a few hundred rands, is more than enough to build a school. The problem is that there are no teachers, and there will be none after the school is built. Nyasaland has very high requirements for public schools.

Public schools in Nyasaland are not only equipped with hardware facilities, but also have excellent teachers. Not to mention that they must graduate from the School of Education of Nyasaland University, at least they must graduate from Nyasaland Normal School.

When the public education system was first established in southern Africa, due to the lack of teachers, at the beginning, as long as they could spell words, they could enter the school to teach.

This situation is no longer possible. In Nyasaland, if you want to become a teacher, you have to take the corresponding teacher qualification examination. Only after obtaining the corresponding teacher qualification can you go to school to teach.

The prerequisite for taking the teacher qualification examination is to be proficient in Chinese and English. If the Chinese is particularly good, the conditions can be relaxed appropriately, but the spoken English must also pass the test.

Although Zhenghe Island is far away from the mainland, the standards of public schools are still in accordance with the standards of Nyasaland.

"You apply to the state government, and I apply to the headquarters of Adan Company. As long as there are four teachers, the middle school can be guaranteed to start smoothly—" Zhu Jun, a chicken thief, made full use of all advantages, and now the status of Adan Islands is becoming more and more important , Nyasaland State Government and Adan Company will also appropriately increase the importance they attach to the Adan Islands.

"What about next year?" Huang Liang was moved, and it seemed feasible.

"We will continue to ask for it next year. We will pay higher salaries for teachers who are willing to come to Zheng He Island. I am not afraid that no one will come." Zheng He Port calls, and the daily income of Zheng He Port is more than [-] rand.

I have to say that the sailors on those ocean-going ships are very rich. In the vast Indian Ocean, Zheng He Island is more than 3500 kilometers away from the nearest African continent. The crew and sailors on this route spend a lot of money. Without blinking, the dried coconut that no one cares about on the island before has become a specialty of Zhenghe Island, and the plump coconut crab is even more addictive.

The largest coconut crabs on Zhenghe Island can grow up to four kilograms. It’s not a joke that one person can’t finish a meal.

Relying on ships, Zheng He Island earns a lot of money. Now there are bars, hotels, and shops on the island for sailors to relax and entertain. These businesses also earn a lot of money. Simply comparing the per capita income, Zheng He Island may have the highest per capita income in southern Africa. .

"Okay then, let's try—" Huang Liang's heart was moved, and he had to fight for his daughter Huang Liang, maybe he would turn his bicycle into a motorcycle.

After leaving Huang Liang's office, Zhu Jun drove his all-terrain off-road vehicle back to the camp.

The port area and the living area on Zhenghe Island are clearly separated. The mercenary camp is located between the port area and the living area. The crew and sailors of the ships can only move in the port area and cannot enter the living area on the island.

Huangliang’s office building is a three-story granite building. All the building materials on this island were shipped thousands of miles from southern Africa. At the beginning, they were all wooden buildings, but later because of the sea wind, the wooden structure buildings could not be used. Used for a long time, now wooden buildings are slowly being changed to stronger reinforced concrete buildings.

In fact, as long as it is carefully maintained, there will be no major problems in using wooden buildings on the island. It is enough to paint several times a year, and when choosing colors, you can choose as many bright colors as possible, so that there will be colorful buildings. , looks more beautiful, more island style.

The current Zhenghe Island is like this. Some people replace wooden buildings with reinforced concrete buildings for once and for all. More people use colorful paint to decorate their homes, with white or blue roofs and red or yellow walls. Hidden in the coconut groves that can be seen everywhere, it is as refreshing as a tropical beauty with a variety of styles.

Because Adan Company has spared no effort, the road traffic conditions on the island are also very good. There is a high-standard two-way four-lane asphalt road around the island. On both sides of the road are dense coconut groves and cocoa trees. Palm trees for a more tropical look.

There are colorful houses scattered on the inner side of the road. Most of the houses here retain the common wooden building style in southern Africa, but there are also more Chinese-style carved beams, painted buildings, bucket arches and cornices. This kind of building has also begun in southern Africa in the past two years. Popular, especially in the parks in the middle of the street, more and more octagonal pavilions with oriental characteristics appear.

The same is true here on Zhenghe Island. There is such an octagonal pavilion not far from each living area. Residents can rest and enjoy the shade in the pavilion. There are small bridges and flowing water with oriental traditional charm next to many pavilions. People who went to Zhenghe Island were pleasantly surprised.

Not only the Chinese are surprised, but the white people are also surprised. They don't care about cultural invasion or not, as long as they look good.

The mercenary camp on Zheng He Island is not large, and the parking lot is only five or six acres in size. There are less than 200 mercenaries equipped with 16 armored vehicles that showed their skills during the World War. Some of these armored vehicles It was not used at all, and it was retired after the end of the World War. The Umbrella Company took the opportunity to buy a lot at a low price.

As soon as the multi-purpose off-road vehicle entered the gate of the camp, Zhang Liao, Zhu Jun's deputy, hurried over.

"We captured two British people who were inquiring about the former residents of Zheng He Island. After we captured them, we found their ID cards and weapons from them." Vigilance is high.

This is no joke. 80.00% of the residents on Zheng He Island are family members of mercenaries, and the remaining 20.00% are also family members of port workers. Agents cannot survive on Zheng He Island.

"Where's the person?" Zhu Jun had already received the telegram from Adan's company, and jumped off the off-road vehicle with a sneer.

"Old Chen is interrogating." Zhang Liao led the way to the office. "Old Chen" is a staff member in Brad's office, and he specializes in interrogation.

There were a lot of odds and ends on the desk in the office, and Zhu Jun habitually went to get his wallet first.

Unsurprisingly empty——

"I will emphasize this aspect in the future. What if these people pass information through coins?" Zhu Jun was very dissatisfied. .

Zhang Liao rolled his eyes and pretended he didn't hear. The so-called effective actions can't be blamed on the ignorance of his subordinates.

There was a work permit in the wallet, which was issued by the colonial government of Mauritius. Zhu Jun checked carefully and found that the certificate was genuine and there was no problem.

In addition to the wallet and documents, there were also two short-barreled detective revolvers produced by Nyasaland Military Industry. Zhu Jun checked the serial numbers of the guns, then copied them and handed them to Zhang Liao.

"Send it to Nyasaland Military Industry for verification and see where the two guns came from." Zhu Jun was careful. Weapons produced by Nyasaland Military Industry have serial numbers, and according to the numbers, the whereabouts of the weapons can be found.

Zhang Liao hurried to the newsroom with the serial number. Zhu Jun came to the window and lit a cigarette with a gloomy expression.

In the port outside the window, a [-]-ton freighter is slowly entering. The deck of the ship is full of dark red and dark blue containers. The dark red container belongs to Nyasaland Ocean Trading Company, and the dark blue container belongs to South Africa. Most of the ocean freighters on the Indian Ocean belong to these two companies.

In the central lagoon outside Zheng He Port, there are more than a dozen ships waiting in line to enter the port. Such scenes happen every day in Zheng He Port.

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and it was Lao Chen from Brad's office who came in.

"Ask out, MI[-] agents, ordered to find out the former residents of Zheng He Island." Lao Chen looked tired but energetic. He used to be MI[-], but now he is MI[-], an old opponent.
