Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1243 The Bar That Sells Eggs

In the UK now, the army uses equipment produced in southern Africa, the food produced in southern Africa is placed on the residents’ dining tables, and the cars produced in southern Africa run on the streets of London. For the British Empire, the status of southern Africa is becoming more and more important , even more so than during the World Wars.

During the World War, many British people believed that southern Africa was just a flash in the pan. With the end of the World War, southern African goods would gradually withdraw from the British mainland.

It is a pity that things backfired. After the end of the World War, not only did the products from southern Africa not decrease, but because of the continuous downturn in the British economy, more and more products flocked to the European continent.

In fact, there are still many British people who don’t think so. They habitually think that southern Africa is a colony of the British Empire. The British Empire’s demands from southern Africa are taken for granted.

Rock's ongoing cultural export is to subconsciously influence Europeans' understanding of southern Africa. Those who are unwilling to admit the changes in the world and are still immersed in the aura of the old world empire, let them continue to be proud. Most people is awake.

Like Winston.

What surprised Winston was not just the Tower Bridge in London. As Rock said, the Tower of London, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the White House in the United States, and oriental-style buildings are all part of this film and television city. Winston Don was not very interested in the Tower Bridge in London, but was more interested in the majestic and solemn oriental-style palace complexes. With Winston's status, he still lingered and indulged in it, not to mention the attraction to ordinary people.

"Imagine, tourists can just visit Buckingham Palace in the morning, and taste oriental food in a Chinese teahouse in the evening. If they are interested, they may even have the opportunity to participate in the shooting of a movie, and they may appear on the screen. This is Isn't it more interesting than simply traveling in mountains and rivers?" Rock is confident that the most indispensable thing in southern Africa is natural scenery, and man-made attractions can actually be made very beautiful.

To put it bluntly, Buckingham Palace and the White House in the United States are also man-made, and these two places are not open yet, even if tourists go there, they can only take a look at them from a distance.

But in southern Africa, if you pay enough, you can experience what it's like to sit in the chair of the President of the United States and spend the night in Buckingham Palace -

Why, even Winston felt his heart throbbing just thinking about it.

"You really—" Winston originally wanted to say that the cost of doing so would be too high, but considering that this is Nyasaland, the cost is really not that high.

All the land in Nyasaland is Roque's territory. In theory, Roque can confiscate as much as he wants.

Building materials are even cheaper. Leaving aside Nyasaland, there are countless building materials in the surrounding Kingdom of Mozambique, the Republic of Congo, and the Kingdom of Congo. Rock doesn’t have to worry about causing environmental damage. It will be high, and the wood that can only grow for hundreds of years can be bought directly at the price of ordinary wood.

Not to mention labor costs. Although Nyasaland has no African residents, there are African workers. The salary of those African construction workers is only about one-fifth of that of Nyasaland workers. Don’t think it’s too little. It is already a great progress before the establishment of the federal government.

Before the establishment of the federal government, in the Rand mining area, the salary of African miners was only one-tenth of that of white miners.

Now the salary of workers in southern Africa has roughly doubled compared to before the establishment of the federal government. For African workers who started from a low starting point, it has increased by four times. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

"I now know what we have lost." Winston muttered to himself, and his "we" refers to the British Empire.

"Way, don't say that. When I bought Nyasaland from Mr. Cecil Rhodes, Nyasaland had nothing." Rock firmly refused to admit that Nyasaland is now What is the relationship between Saran and the British government? When George V granted Nyasaland to Roque as a fief, Roque had already bought Nyasaland from Cecil Rhodes. No money was spent, just a favor.

Even if Rock is grateful, he is also grateful to Cecil Rhodes, who has nothing to do with the British Empire.

What's more, Cecil Rhodes sold Nyasaland to Rock in the hope that Rock could stand in front of the South African company and help Stoudemire fight against the increasing pressure from all parties. From this perspective Well, Cecil Rhodes is actually harboring evil intentions, so Roque is not grateful to anyone now. Nyasaland can have today's achievements, and all the achievements belong to the great Nyasaland people.

"But without the permission of the British Empire, can you, a Chinese, own Nyasaland?" Winston put on a posture of killing a donkey——

No, people unload the mill and kill the donkey to cross the river and demolish the bridge. Now that the mill has not been unloaded and people have not crossed the bridge, it is unwise to kill the donkey and demolish the bridge.

"Did the British Empire give me Nyasaland in vain? It was because of my contribution to the British Empire that the British Empire rewarded me with Nyasaland!" Rock could understand Winston's mood, but No kidnapping will be accepted.

"You were a little policeman at that time, and you had a fart contribution—" Winston was so angry that his liver hurt. He was referring to the time when he just met Rock. At that time, Rock was indeed just a little policeman. Winston Dunton attended the banquet in Ade's manor, and Rock maintained order outside the manor, and he was not even qualified to enter the manor.

Henry cried and collapsed [-] kilometers away. Am I so humble that I don’t even have the right to mention my name——

Rock smiled and said nothing. In just 20 years, Rock is now the Marquis of Nyasaland, Minister of Defense of the Federal Government of Southern Africa. During the World War, he served as the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force and commanded all the army forces of the British Empire. .

It's meaningless to talk about it now, and it will make Winston feel like a petite kid.

After visiting the majestic oriental palace complex, Rock and Winston casually walked into a bar on the side of the road. The owner of the bar is a nearby farmer who sells self-brewed wine and beer, and provides a variety of fresh produce produced by the farm. food.

After eating all kinds of salted duck eggs, salted goose eggs, and salted quail eggs, Winston couldn't help but sigh again. This is also a characteristic of southern Africa. It is estimated that only bars in southern Africa sell all kinds of eggs in the world.

"All the business sites here are actually studios in the film and television city. As long as there is a need, you can pay the boss a fee for various shootings. The boss will cooperate unconditionally. Look at the appearance of this bar, does it look familiar? ?” Rock was at ease, in Nyasaland, Rock didn’t need to worry about safety issues.

Winston looked around. There were many photos hanging on the wall of the bar, one of which was a group photo of the bar owner and the leading actor in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth".

"Oh oh oh, "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" was filmed here?" Winston suddenly felt a sense of time and space travel into confusion, and seemed to see the male supporting actor sneaking around in a trance.

"Yes, we are all!" Rock and the smiling bearded bar owner said in unison, and then laughed together.

That scene was really hilarious.

"My lord, can I take a photo with you later?" The bar owner seized the opportunity and rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"Of course, but why didn't you ask to take a photo with His Excellency the Prime Minister? This opportunity is very rare—" Rock did not refuse, and simply brought Winston along to give the bar owner a big benefit.

"Of course that would be the best, but I don't dare to ask His Excellency the Prime Minister—" The bar owner's face was disfigured with a smile.

"Come on, come on, come together—" Winston was also generous.

So Winston and Rock leaned on the bar, raised their cups, and let the photographer capture this precious moment.

The poor bar owner was used as the background board, but he still opened his eyes wide and grinned in surprise. This kind of opportunity is indeed rare, and it can last a lifetime.

If the bar owner hung this group photo on the wall, no one would dare to make trouble here.

"How's the income here?" After taking the photo, Roque chatted with the boss casually, which is also a good opportunity to learn about people's livelihood.

"It's good. There are more and more tourists in Star City, and the customers are endless. The things sold in the bar are basically produced by my own farm. I couldn't eat all kinds of eggs before, but now I don't have enough. It is thanks to you that we are looking for other farms to purchase, otherwise our family would have starved to death—” The bar owner’s gratitude came from the heart, and the circles of his eyes were even a little red.

"Even without this bar, your family shouldn't starve to death, right?" Winston was curious. The owner of the bar was obviously fat, and he obviously didn't look malnourished.

"Certainly not now, I have a farm besides this bar, but before I came to Nyasaland, my life was unbearable. It was Lord who brought me from my hometown to southern Africa and gave me the life I have now. His parents and brothers and sisters starved to death, they were not blessed and did not wait for the Lord’s salvation.” The bar owner is uneducated, and the word salvation is obviously inappropriate here.

"Your current life is created by yourself, and it has nothing to do with others." Rock is unwilling to be the savior, and only himself is his own savior.

Southern Africa still hasn’t stopped immigrating. After some people come to Southern Africa, they can quickly settle down and take root. Some people are muddy and can’t get on the wall. They are dazzled by the sudden wealth and make mistakes. Lost opportunity to stay in Southern Africa.

It may also be their only chance to change their destiny.

"No no no, my lord, our family is always grateful to you. Without your protection, we would not be able to grasp this opportunity even if we have this opportunity." The owner of the bar has a sincere expression, as if Rock does not accept the gratitude of the owner of the bar, but to the owner of the bar. same insult.

Winston suddenly understood why Nyasaland could develop so fast.

ps: Poor Yutou only had one Samoyed by his side last night. He told me that he also wanted to find a boyfriend. I said: Think about it——
