Chapter 1236

Unknowingly, southern Africa seems to have become a nursing home for the British Empire. With the arrival of Kitchener and Winston, more and more British people choose to travel and vacation in southern Africa. Many of them are coming to I fell in love with Southern Africa, and then chose to settle in Southern Africa.

At the Los Angeles train station, Montgomery of Ronnie Travel Agency is waiting for a pair of tourists from London.

Ronnie is not a personal name, but refers to Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which are the largest travel agencies in Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Legend has it that they have official backgrounds.

In fact, it is all rumors, Rock and Nyasaland state government will not be interested in this kind of small business. Ronnie Travel Agency was founded by a retired official in Salisbury, and the shareholders indeed include Rand Bank, but Rand Deutsche Bank does not interfere with the operation of Ronnie Travel Agency and does not provide protection for Ronnie Travel Agency.

Rand Bank has invested in many companies. If all companies were protected, Rand Bank would not be able to do so.

At 11:30 noon, the direct train from Walvis Bay to Los Angeles entered the station, and Montgomery immediately raised the sign in his hand. The uppercase cursive "L·N" on the sign was very conspicuous.

"Hello—" Alex in a suit and leather shoes greeted Montgomery.

"Hello, is this Mr. Alex from London?" Montgomery said politely.

"Yes, it's me."

"Welcome to Nyasaland, I hope Nyasaland can leave a good memory for you and your wife, I am Montgomery from Ronnie Travel Agency, and I will provide you with wholehearted service in the next few days." Montgomery took the initiative Take the suitcase from Alex and take Alex and his wife to the parking lot.

Ronnie Travel Agency not only provides a tour guide for Alex and his wife, but also provides a car with a driver. Of course, these services are not free. The driver, car and tour guide cost [-] rand a day. Room and board costs are not included.

"The latest Lord car, with an inline four-cylinder engine, has an unparalleled 65 horsepower and a maximum speed of 120 kilometers. It is perfect. It is the crystallization of the peak technology of the industrial age." Alex is a car enthusiast, and he knows the data of the Lord car. This kind of car is currently only sold locally in Nyasaland in the world, and Ronnie Travel Agency is the only one.

"Yes, Mr. Alex, you are really an expert. Few people know Lord's car so well." Montgomery sent Alex and his wife to the back row first, and then sat in the co-pilot.

Some habits of the British are still very good. Just now, Montgomery helped Alex carry the suitcase from the exit to the parking lot, and Alex just tipped him with a pound.

It's so easy to make money.

When the car drove out of the parking lot, the large body was extremely stable, and the noise of the engine was very small, which did not affect the people in the car talking softly.

The focus of the Alex couple is on the street view outside the car window. The unique tropical landscape plants on both sides of the streets of Los Angeles make the Alex couple dizzy. Impressed, and the Alexs are no exception.

What makes Alex feel very cordial is that mounted police can be seen on many streets in Los Angeles. Some of them ride blue and white police motorcycles, while others ride traditional tall horses. Especially those heroic female mounted policemen, they are the most beautiful scenery on the streets of Los Angeles.

Although more and more women in the UK are working outside the home, there are very few women in violent professions such as the police.

Los Angeles City is different. Many female mounted policemen have professional postures on horseback, and they are not just pretending.

"If our women in Los Angeles are interested in the military, they can also receive regular military training. Not only the police, but also more and more women in the army, but they will not serve in the front line. Most of them are civilians, or Work in the hospital." Montgomery noticed the focus of the Alex couple, especially Mrs. Alex, looking at a policewoman who was checking a car on the side of the street, her eyes were shining.

The policewoman wears a white steel helmet with a police badge inlaid on the front, a dark blue Marquis of Nyasaland coat of arms on the side of the helmet, a cool looking sunglasses on her face, and a set of autumn and winter season The standard police uniform, the outer belt around the waist is full of various tools, the iron-gray handcuffs and the silver-white gun handle are very conspicuous.

Oh oh oh, you must not forget the long leather boots that go down to the knees, the guy who designed this women's police uniform must be a master, Alex swallowed unconsciously.

"Honey, the status of women in Nyasaland must be very high. Look at the driver's appearance—it's ridiculous." Mrs. Alex's focus is different from Alex's.

The driver who was being interrogated probably violated some regulations, and was pleading with his hands clasped, hoping that the policewoman would let him go.

The female policeman was as cold as ice, she issued a ticket and patted it in the driver's hand, and turned around and left.

"Of course, all of this is what our lady of Nyasaland strives for for women. Our Nyasaland may be the first region in the world where women and men are paid equal work. Women can do the same jobs as men. Receive the same remuneration, which cannot be achieved in other places.” Montgomery is full of pride, and there are women’s rights activists in the UK who have fought for equal pay for equal work for many years, but they have not achieved it until now.

Even in France, where feminist awareness is the strongest, equal pay for equal work cannot be achieved. For the same job, men often earn higher salaries than women. French feminism is not the idyllic feminism popular on the Internet in the 21st century. People really demand fair rights, but Not female privilege in the name of fairness.

"This is more obvious in our school. In Nyasaland's school, the proportion of women is higher than that of men, because many boys will leave school and work when they reach a certain age, and if women do not have a good degree, they want to find A good job is not easy, my two younger sisters are studying at Nyasaland University and Rhodes University respectively, and my poor younger brother is not good enough, he comes out to work early like me, he will regret it in the future What Montgomery said surprised the Alex couple. In Nyasaland, the emphasis on education has formed a social consensus. As long as conditions permit, children will be sent to school instead of going to work in factories early or on farms. help.

This point is also obvious. There are still child laborers in many sweatshops in the UK.

In Nyasaland, if a factory dares to employ child labor, it will be severely punished by the Nyasaland state government.

Work-study programs are not included in this scope, but to employ work-study students, they must also register with the competent authority and accept the supervision of the competent authority.

"Nyasaland University doesn't seem to have a long history—" Alex had an impression of the dispute between Nyasaland University and the British Education Council more than ten years ago. The Education Council threw in the towel and gave Nyasaland the same status as UK universities.

"It is true that there is not many years of history, and our history in Nyasaland is not long, and it has not been many years since Nyasaland became the fiefdom of our lord, but this just shows that Nyasaland University is in rapid progress, The Times said some time ago that graduates of Nyasaland University are as popular as Cambridge graduates in London. Many Americans are also studying at Nyasaland University. They have to pay high tuition fees every year. And I can’t get scholarships, Nyasaland University uses these high tuition fees as scholarship subsidies to other students, and my sister got fifty rand last year.” Montgomery mentioned his sister with joy, fifty rand is not a small number for students , the annual salary of many people in the UK is less than fifty rand.

"So what's your per capita income?" Alex was very interested in Nyasaland's per capita income.

"It depends on the occupation. If it is a Rand Bank executive or a professor at Nyasaland University, it is normal for them to earn tens of thousands of rand a year. Ordinary people are like me, who only earn about one hundred rand a year. Xiao, how much is your annual salary?" Montgomery asked the driver casually, if this is a stranger, it would be impolite to ask casually about his income, Montgomery and Xiao are friends, and will not care about this.

"It's about the same as you. After graduation, your sister must earn more than the two of us." Xiao is white and has no higher education. He is still very envious of Montgomery's sister.

"That's for sure. My sister has already been invited by the Los Angeles City Government. She will go to the Los Angeles City Government to find an internship every summer for two consecutive years." Montgomery looked proud. Having such a sister is indeed Be proud of.

The car drove all the way to the Rhodesia Hotel. This is the benefit of planning the itinerary through the travel agency. The travel agency booked the hotel room in advance and solved most of the worries of Alex and his wife.

When they came to the hotel room, Alex and his wife took a short rest and prepared to go shopping at the Eternal store on the first floor of the hotel. Mrs. Alex had long heard that the local Eternal in Nyasaland not only had a complete range of products, but also And you can enjoy higher discounts, and the new season will also be launched in Nyasaland first.

Alex also has a need. He first needs to buy a set of casual clothes that are common in Nyasaland, and replace his suit. Although the handmade custom suits are expensive, it is obvious that the casual clothes that are common on the streets of Los Angeles are more comfortable. .

I took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. When I got out of the elevator, a man rushed into the elevator and hit Alex hard.

Before Alex could react, the thoughtless daredevil was knocked down by several people.

Only then did Alex notice that the wallet in Daredevil's hand seemed familiar.
