Reborn South Africa as a police officer

1353 Marriage

After the end of the World War, Roque was awarded the title of Marshal by Britain, France, and Belgium at the same time.

Now it is not the Southern African Union countries that are extra, but the Commonwealth of Nations.

Roque was originally a Marshal in Southern Africa. After the establishment of the Atlantic Fleet, the Canadian Autonomous Government decided to award Roque the title of Marshal. Now Australia and New Zealand have been added at the same time. Counting, Roque already has seven or eight Marshal titles.

If there are too many marshals, they are worthless, just like medals.

Roque had originally received a Medal of the Garter and two Victoria Crosses. After the Washington Naval Conference, Roque received another Medal of the Garter, and the medals on his chest almost couldn't fit.

Now Roque has a Southern African Medal, a French Legion of Honor Medal, two Garter Medals, and two Victorian Medals on his chest.

Neville was even more upset when he saw Rock's two Garter Medals and two Victorian Medals. He was also an official of the British Empire, and he didn't have any.

"It's all a false name, don't care about it—" Roque said lightly, don't care about the Marshal Medal or anything, it's just a false name.

"Lord Nyasaland, I hope that the United States can cooperate more closely with the Southern African Union in the future." On behalf of the United States, the new Secretary of State Henry Lewis Stimson came.

Stimson was born in an aristocratic manor in Long Island, New York, and received elite education since childhood. In 1906, he served as the U.S. District Attorney for the Southern District of New York State; During World War I, Stimson participated in the World War with the rank of lieutenant colonel of artillery and was promoted to brigadier general during the period.

During the World Wars, Stimson had worked with Hoover in Belgium to provide assistance to the American diaspora in Europe.

After Hoover entered the White House, he appointed Stimson as Secretary of State.

"Henry, congratulations. Herbert has chosen a competent Secretary of State." Rock sincerely congratulated him. He and Stimson also fought side by side during the World War.

"I have brought good news that Washington has officially abolished the "Chinese Exclusion Act". From now on, Chinese Americans have gained the same social status as other ethnic groups in the United States. brilliance.” Stimson was a statesman as well as a strategist, and he also had an extremely deep understanding of Rock and southern Africa, which minimized the occurrence of misjudgments.

"That's really great! Congratulations to Washington for making the right choice." Although Rock had already received the news, he was still as surprised as if he had just found out.

"My lord, if you have time tomorrow, we can sit down and have a good talk." Stimson still has something to do with Rock.

"No problem, tomorrow morning I will wait for you at the Ministry of Defense." Rock readily agreed, no need to ask, it must be the Atlantic Fleet and the Bahamas military base.

The current Bahamas is not the world-famous tourist destination in the future, but a lair of pirates and a paradise for smugglers.

Pirates in the Bahamas have a long history. It is rumored that the treasure of the famous Caribbean pirates is in the Bahamas. The reason why the Bahamas will become famous in the future is probably because there are too many treasure hunters. As a result, the pirate treasure was not found. I accidentally found that the scenery of the Bahamas is not bad, so the Bahamas unexpectedly became popular. .

Hey, with such a first-class product, it feels like checking in with an internet celebrity.

After the United States promulgated the "Prohibition of Alcohol", the Bahamas became the base camp of alcohol smugglers. Most of the red wine from Europe was repackaged after the Bahamas was split up, and then entered the United States.

Britain is now handing over the management of the Bahamas to Southern Africa. On the one hand, it is implementing a global contraction strategy, and on the other hand, it is also to use Southern Africa to form a more effective check and balance on the United States.

Rock wants to make southern African products enter the US market more smoothly, but he doesn't want to go to war with the United States, so Rock must make good use of the Bahamas.

At eight o'clock, Philip, Ade, and Kitchener appeared at the banquet together. Finally, there were fewer people around Rock. Only then did Rock notice that he temporarily suspended his round-the-world travel and returned to Pretoria to witness the southern Africa. Arthur and Gavin, who formed the alliance, were surrounded by a group of ladies and ladies, chattering.

"The United States is very interesting. They invented a thing that can strengthen people's attention. It is actually a metal bucket buckled on the head, which seals off all people's hearing and smell, and even uses oxygen cylinders for air circulation. Americans I think this can enhance people's concentration, work and study more effectively—" Arthur was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and the ladies around listened with great interest to the various anecdotes during the performance.

"I found an electric-driven bicycle in the United States. It is very convenient to use, and the noise is very small, almost negligible. I think it is very interesting, so I brought a few back. I will show Uncle Diesel another day. See, in our southern Africa, is there any possibility of promotion." Gavin is also growing up, he is more influenced by Rock, and his business sense is obviously sharper.

Even Rock did not expect that electric bicycles had developed to this extent in 1921.

This is an electric bicycle that is almost the same as that in Rock's memory, and it is a relatively new style of ladies' pedal electric bicycle, and it is also the kind that uses lithium batteries. When Rock saw it at first sight, he almost thought There is another time traveler.

"Can I ride it?" I was very disappointed that I couldn't travel around the world with Arthur and Gavin. Hearing that Arthur and Gavin returned to Pretoria, Roya would rather ask for leave than participate in political activities that she was not interested in. .

Such a long attributive fully shows the deep relationship between Roya, Arthur and Gavin.

"Of course, I've tried it, and I can ride it for at least five kilometers." Gavin vowed that electric vehicles in this era can be stylish in appearance, and their performance is definitely not comparable to those in the 21st century that can easily travel hundreds of kilometers.

But considering it's only 1921, that's pretty amazing.

At this time, Gavin finally noticed Rock, and immediately ran over enthusiastically: "Father, do you want to try it too?"

Looking at his son's expectant eyes, Roque couldn't bear to refuse.

However, considering that this is the banquet hall of the Palace of Justice, Rock can still restrain his curiosity.

"I tried it in the United States, and it's really good—" Rock touched his head casually while speaking, Gavin squinted his eyes comfortably, and rubbed on Rock's hand: "—We lack oil in southern Africa , Electric vehicles are a very good project with great prospects.”

Rock didn't know why electric vehicles, which are so developed now, have been submerged in the long river of history for a hundred years.

There may or may not be a conspiracy theory.

It doesn't matter, the world with Rock will never be lonely.

"There is a genius engineer in the United States called Nikola Tesla. You can chat with him. He has a very good relationship with us. Our earliest Walvis Bay hydropower station was thanks to Mr. Tesla's help." Nikola Tesla is the eternal pain in Rock's heart. Southern Africa has invited Nikola Tesla many times, but it is a pity that Nikola Tesla is unwilling to come to Southern Africa.

"We met Mr. Nikola Tesla in the United States, but his condition was not very good. In order to help him rebuild the laboratory, Gavin and I used a little of our private savings." Compared with Gavin, Arthur is much more normal. He is now about the same height as Rock, and after traveling around the world for a few months, he looks obviously more mature.

Although Arthur and Gavin are still young, they already have a lot of assets under their names, but these assets are now managed by Phyllis and Ada. When Arthur and Gavin become adults, they will gradually participate in the family business manage.

At this time, the test has just begun. Don't think that Arthur and Gavin have absolute control over the assets under the names of Arthur and Gavin.

If they do not manage well after taking over, then they will gradually lose these rights and become a family reproductive machine, and even the right to inherit the title will be deprived.

"Great, smart choice. Investing in people with potential is the only way to grow wealth." Rock is best at being a shopkeeper, and of course he also carefully cultivates his son.

"Uncle Locke, can you tell my father to let me travel around the world with Arthur and Gavin, the school is terrible without Arthur and Gavin, I don't want to stay for a minute." Roya and Roque are also no strangers, and they know how to use Roque to achieve their own goals.

"Ha, dear niece, I can't help you with this job, go find your Aunt Ida." Rock laughed, this job is hard to do, and it would be bad if someone died.

Stoudemire has always wanted to marry Rock, whether it is Arthur or Gavin, in Stoudemire's view, they are both good choices.

Rock doesn't interfere with the children's marriages. If it's someone else, they may need to marry to form an alliance of interests. Rock doesn't need it. Even if there is no marriage, the relationship between Rock and Stoudemire is unshakable.

Of course, if Roya and Arthur or Gavin really love each other, Roque is also happy to see it happen.

"My dear, if you are willing to marry our Arthur, then I will go to your father." Ada didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and marrying Roya was also a good choice for Arthur.

Stoudemire is also a person with a title now, and marrying the Rhodes family is not considered a disgrace to the Capet family.

Considering the influence of the Rhodes family in southern Africa, Roya and Arthur are a perfect match.

Roya can be coquettish and cute to Roque, but to Ada, a thousand-year-old fox, these methods are useless.

But he couldn't turn his back on him, so he could only sulk.

Oh, this kind of thing, it's not easy to openly ridicule it in such a large audience.

Arthur could only look at his mother helplessly.

She is in her teens and still can't hold back her words. The countess is obviously very shrewd and decisive. When she meets Rock, she is like a little girl.

Maybe this is what love looks like.

ps: Brothers may not believe it. I found a treasure website yesterday. They are all old photos from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. After technical processing, they are all in color. Oh, I read it for six hours at a stretch, and there are more than 1900 photos. So forgot to update-
