Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1295 How to Better Serve the British Empire

When Sastri was in the afternoon, Rock felt faint hostility from Sastri.

Rock can be sure that he and Sastri have never met before, so Rock doesn't know why Sastri behaved like this.

But Roque didn't want to find the reason. If Sastri was a member of the British cabinet, then Roque might pay more attention to it. The Indian cabinet——

Ha ha.

"Good evening, gentlemen, thank you for the welcome dinner—" Sastri didn't realize that he had made a mistake, and greeted Neville and Viscount Gladstone warmly.

Rock was expressionless, and looked at Sastri with a slightly mocking look. Those who knew Rock knew that Rock was on the verge of eruption.

Viscount Gladstone smiled and nodded at Sastri, the hand holding the cup remained motionless.

"Mr. Sastri, good evening." Neville did not attend Sastri's welcome ceremony in the afternoon, and his attitude towards Sastri was quite normal.

"Lock—" Sastri's goal was still Rock.

"You call me Rock?" Rock is not polite. Most of the time, Rock doesn't care about these red tapes, but don't think that Rock treats everyone like this.

"Is there something wrong?" Sastri was pretending to be stupid. Only people who are familiar with him can call him by name directly. People who are not familiar with him should respect the nobles, otherwise they will be suppressed by the entire noble class.

"Hehe, are all Indians so rude?" Rock seemed to be shaking his head and smiling wryly. This map cannon is a bit big.

Sastri's face immediately turned a liver color.

Viscount Gladstone was still smiling and nodding. The same expression, just now was a friendly gesture from a distance, but now it's not too big a deal just to watch the excitement.

Oops this is so British.

"Sorry, who are you?" Neville realized at this time, oh, it turned out that he was here to find fault——

For Neville, Roque is not only a colleague who also serves the empire, but also a friend and partner, a white glove, a funder, and the biggest ally of the empire's overseas territories. Of course, he must support Roque at this time.

Sastri——

Who is Sastri?

A qualified politician is so forgetful, even worse than a water fish with only seven seconds of memory.

"Lord Nyasaland, is this okay?" Sastry Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it was only then that he realized that Rock's power in the UK was much greater than he had imagined.

Just kidding, the size is also a serious imperial marquis, field marshal, former commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, minister of defense in southern Africa, and a top rich man with unfathomable wealth.

With so many identities, none of them can be easily underestimated by a member of the Indian Privy Council.

Even if Rock is Chinese and Sastry is white, it doesn't work.

Rock didn't speak, and looked down on Sastri with the arrogant eyes of a top nobleman, his eyes were similar to those of slave owners picking slaves in the slave market.

I almost opened my mouth to look at my teeth.

Sastry's face turned red and then pale, and he couldn't utter a word. He didn't know that Brad's office was investigating him, and Rock would never ignore the inexplicable hostility.

Sastry's hostility towards Roque is really not out of thin air. In Chapter 624, Roque once led the new First Division to India to garrison.

During his stay in India, Roque opened up the relationship with the Gurkhas and directly hired the Gurkhas into the umbrella company, which had a serious impact on the business of the Sastri family.

Another reason is a bit deeper. India used to be a British colony like southern Africa.

Southern Africa is now an overseas dominion of the United Kingdom, and it killed all quarters during the World War, and became one of the most profitable countries after the war.

India believed that it also made great contributions to the British Empire during the World War. In order to raise food for the British father, India starved to death more than 2000 million people in its own country during the World War.

As a result, after the World War, Britain failed to fulfill its promise, and India continued to experience a food shortage. Coupled with the untreatable American flu, India’s actual population reduction in the past few years is estimated to be around 5000 million.

As for why it is an estimate, just as the southern African colonial government did not know how many Africans there were in southern Africa, the Indian colonial government also did not know how many people there were in India.

In Southern Africa, Africans are not counted in the statistics.

In India, Dalits are called untouchables, and their status is probably similar to that of Africans.

"Mr. Sastri, is the situation in India still that bad?" Viscount Gladstone, who is old and smart, sounds like he is mocking India, but he is actually helping Sastri.

"Ah, no, it's much better. The situation has improved a lot—" Sastri insisted. The actual situation in India may be worse than before.

Don't forget that there is still an economic crisis.

"That's good. I actually want to hire some workers from India to work in Australia. Locke, you know that Australia lost too many people during the World War." Viscount Gladstone diverted his attention calmly. awful.

During the World War, Australia, with a population of only 550 million, recruited 50 Australians to join the expeditionary force, and suffered about 15 casualties during the World War.

The figure of 15 is not worth mentioning compared to southern Africa, but most of the southern African expeditionary forces are Africans, and the Australian and New Zealand coalition forces are all white, so Australia is the pro-son of the British Empire, and it deserves to be rewarded severely by the British Empire .

In another time and space, Australia obtained part of Germany's colonies in the Pacific Ocean after the war. In this time and space, all of Germany's colonies in the Pacific Ocean were occupied by the East India, and Australia basically got nothing.

"Yes, the contribution of the Anzacs deserves to be remembered by all of us." Roque was unambiguous on this issue. Should bear some responsibility.

Of course, Rock's responsibilities were covered up under the victory over Germany, and no one dared to pursue them. If they really had to be pursued, the king and prime minister seemed to be more responsible.

Although the war was not started by the king and the prime minister.

"We are going to erect a monument in the Anzac Harbor and send you an invitation letter." Viscount Gladstone pretended not to see Sastry leave silently, his face was slapped a bit hard.

"Is there something wrong with this person?" Neville was blunt. A member of the Indian cabinet is not qualified to be compared with him, a member of the cabinet of the British Empire.

Nothing compared to Roque.

"It's not that there's something wrong with him, it's that Locke and Southern Africa performed so well-to be honest, I'm a little jealous." Viscount Gladstone laughed, and Rock recognized this flatterer.

"My lord, the Naval Conference, does Australia have any ideas?" Rock tested Viscount Gladstone's bottom line. In the Commonwealth, southern Africa also needs allies.

"No, I went to Washington just to make up for it. To be honest, if Billy wasn't busy with work, I wouldn't even want to go to Washington—" Viscount Gladstone really had no idea. Even if there was, Australia's national strength could not support Glass. The Viscount's ambition.

The "Billy" mentioned by Viscount Gladstone is Billy Hughes, the current Australian Prime Minister. After his death, he served as a member of parliament for a total of 1901 years. This record is estimated to be broken by no one.

"You can fight for it. After all, Australia also has interests that need to be safeguarded—" Rock fanned the flames. Australia has no strength, but southern Africa has it. It is obvious that their advantages complement each other.

Ah bah, clearly insatiable.

"How do you say?" Viscount Gladstone smiled half-smile.

"Hey, hey, you two, discussing this kind of thing in front of me, you don't take me as a cabinet minister seriously." Neville felt very uncomfortable. On this issue, Neville and the two Colonial feudal officials did not have any common language.

"Hahaha, cabinet minister—" Rock taunted.

"The Postmaster General is also a cabinet minister—" Neville said invincibly.

"It's enough to take care of your postman." Viscount Gladstone played the flute.

What is that prop called?

forget.

The next morning, the British delegation departed from Portsmouth to the United States to attend the Washington Naval Conference. Neither the King nor the Prime Minister came to see him off. It is estimated that they did not have much expectation for the Naval Conference.

Only then did Roque know that Australia also has a navy, but the warships are a bit out of hand. Not to mention the age of the ships, they can't even get a battleship, which is as "miserable" as southern Africa.

The road to the United States is not lonely. The Royal Navy and the colonial and dominion navies also conducted joint exercises. At this time, the gap came out. The southern African navy can fully keep up with the rhythm of the Royal Navy, and there is no problem in cooperating.

The Australian Navy and the Canadian Navy are a bit miserable, not to mention that they can't keep up with the rhythm, but they will be hindered from time to time.

However, compared with the Indian Navy, Australia and Canada performed well. India's "Intrepid" battleship lay on the ground shortly after leaving Portsmouth and had to be towed back to Portsmouth for repairs.

During the exercises of the Southern African Navy and the Royal Navy, Rock did not interfere in the whole process, and handed over the command to Patton. In order not to affect Patton's command, he even simply lived on the "Hercules" supply ship.

I have to say that in terms of riding experience alone, the supply ship is much better than the heavy cruiser. Even if the "Johannesburg" heavy cruiser is the room where Patton lives, it is less than 20 square meters, and the area is not as large as Rock's "Hercules" The balcony area of ​​the living room on the No. [-] is large.

So the next day Viscount Gladstone also boarded the supply ship "Hercules".

Rock and Viscount Gladstone finally had a place to hide, and had enough time to conspire to poach the corner of the British Empire——

Ah, the wording is wrong. How could the communication between the two nobles be poaching the corner of the British Empire? It should be: discussing how to better serve the British Empire.
