Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1374

After the first few classes, Roque rarely attended the graduation ceremony of Nyasaland University, and he did not attend even once after the World War.

This time, Roque still didn't have time, so he could only entrust Owen, the honorary principal, to represent Roque to attend.

Rock was indeed very busy. The Southern African Union had just been established, and the Ministry of National Defense was already busy. Stoudemire and Anton came to join in the fun.

Stoudemire is a loyal fan of horse racing. Horse racing also has a good mass base in southern Africa. The Transvaal people were still in the mood to organize horse racing when the Boer War was at its most critical. The entire city of Pretoria Crazy because of horse racing, people's enthusiasm for horse racing can be imagined.

Stoudemire wants to set up an equestrian league covering the whole country, and attract spectators through fixed events every year. Horse racing has a lot of room for profit. It is not only highly entertaining, but also betting. Everyone can get what they want .

Anton also has a plan in this regard. Like horse racing, football also has a broad mass base in southern Africa. Rock often held football matches when he was the police chief in Johannesburg. cohesion.

Anton wants to form a football league covering the whole of Nyasaland. The purpose is not to make profits, but to enrich the growing cultural and entertainment needs of Nyasaland people.

"We now have the foundation to form a football league. There are already dozens of dedicated football fields in Los Angeles. Many companies have established their own football teams. The situation in Port Edward and Xuanji City is similar. In colleges and universities, football It is very popular, and every game can attract a large number of spectators. My idea is to form a major football league covering all cities in Nyasaland. There will be city-level leagues in the cities. It is better to set up a state-level league to attract people to the football field than to let them bet on horses.” Anton is also very helpless, Nyasaland has become rich, and many problems have been exposed.

Gambling is a social cancer that cannot be eradicated. Instead of strictly prohibiting it, it is better to guide it healthily.

This is just like playing mahjong. Big bets hurt the body and small bets make you happy. Everyone understands the truth, but some people just can't control it.

Gambling is not allowed in southern Africa, but gambling is a human nature, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it, so southern Africa has recently begun to consider revising the regulations in this regard.

Control in the hands of the government is better than control in private hands.

What's more, Southern Africa still has an enclave in Europe. This kind of enclave is the most suitable for building a casino. The United States has Las Vegas, and Europe can also have San Roque——

"Let's just organize a sports meeting, just like the Olympic Games, and invite a few more countries to participate—" Stoudemire has ambitions. The current Olympic Games are not as popular as the future, and their influence is far less.

If Stoudemire didn't mention it, Rock himself would not have noticed that the seventh Olympic Games just ended in Antwerp, Belgium last year.

Because of the World War, the sixth Olympic Games originally scheduled to be held in Berlin in 1916 was forced to cancel. The seventh Olympic Games was originally jointly hosted by Antwerp in Belgium and Budapest in Hungary. Affected by the World War, the Olympic Committee held in 1918. At the meeting, it was decided that Antwerp would host the Olympic Games alone.

During the World War, Antwerp was once occupied by Germany. After that, the Allied Forces and the German army fought many battles in the surrounding area of ​​Antwerp, and Antwerp was seriously damaged.

The budget proposed by the Belgian Olympic Committee is 370 million Belgian francs, but the Belgian government can only contribute 150 million, and the missing part plans to raise donations from the public.

It's a pity that the Antwerp people who had just experienced the war had no money to donate at all, and the Olympic Committee only raised 0.5 yuan. Later, they had to ask the allied forces for help, which made the Olympic Games go smoothly.

A total of 29 countries participated in the seventh Olympic Games. Southern Africa did not send a delegation, but several athletes joined the British delegation to participate in the Olympic Games. Their results were not satisfactory and they did not win medals.

"The performance of the British Empire in the Olympics was terrible. Our results are similar to those of Finland, and even worse than Sweden. Compared with the United States, there is a huge gap, which is very disproportionate to the status of our British Empire." Stoudemire is very interested in the Olympics Yes, this is also normal, a war in a peaceful age——

"It's just a game, don't pay too much attention to it." Rock did not agree with the hype of the Olympic Games by the people from the Olympic Committee.

Truth exists only within the range of naval guns, and has never had anything to do with sports transcripts.

Rock also liked watching sports games in his previous life, and was once fanatical about football and basketball.

But then Rock discovered a problem. The rules of these sports competitions were set by sports organizations controlled by certain countries, and then the problem came out.

If your grades are not good, others will laugh at you for your poor physical fitness, and you are a sick man of XX.

You have good grades in sports, but others suspect you of cheating and seek profits through dishonorable means.

Anyway, the right to explain belongs to those sports organizations that have no strength and like to frequently use their presence.

Later, Rock didn't care so much about sports competitions, especially international competitions. It was just wishful thinking to expect to gain a place in the international arena to show our country's prestige.

In the past at the Johannesburg Police Department, Rock organized football games to exercise the physical fitness of the police officers and enhance the cohesion within the police station, which had nothing to do with grades.

Later in Nyasaland, Roque devoted all his energy to organizing industrial production and immigration, and sports were thrown out of the blue.

Now the development of Nyasaland is getting better and better, and the living standards of the residents are constantly improving. A notable manifestation is that there are more and more fat people.

At this time, it is still necessary to properly promote the development of sports, but the purpose is still not the ranking, but for the health of the residents.

"Lock, this is not like you." Stoudemire was surprised. He always thought that Rock was a competitive person, and he would never admit defeat in anything.

"I just don't want to be led by people—" Rock is still the same Rock, but when looking at this issue, he has a completely different angle from Stoudemire: "—Anton is right in one thing, our purpose is to People are attracted to the arena, enriching their amateur cultural life while also exercising their bodies, forget about other aspects, can a few more gold medals in the Olympics improve the international status of southern Africa?"

Rock pointed directly at the core of the problem. In the past Olympic Games, Britain and Finland only won 15 gold medals, Sweden had 19, and the United States had a maximum of 41.

Although the number of gold medals in the UK is the same as that of Finland, no one would think that Finland already has the same international status as the UK. As for Sweden——

Roque can guarantee that 40% of southern Africans over the age of 90.00 do not know that Sweden exists in the world. The introduction of Sweden in textbooks in southern Africa is only a hundred words at most, and Roque loses if it is one more.

"Okay, okay, what you said is right, you play your football, I play my horse racing—" Xiao Si was in a slump, Rock was good at everything, but he liked to go online.

Stoudemire's original intention was just to satisfy his own hobbies. Of course it would be better if he could earn some money by the way, and it doesn't matter if he can't.

Rock has a strong purpose in everything he does, which may be the reason why Nyasaland came from behind and surpassed Rhodesia.

Anton came to Pretoria for one more thing.

A month ago, a wonderful organization called "Human Zoo" came to Los Angeles, hoping to hold an exhibition in Los Angeles.

In this so-called "human zoo", human beings are locked in cages like animals for viewing, and some people even feed them food. These people are aboriginals from all over the world, and they were plundered by white people and put in cages in European and American countries Exhibitions, New York, London, Paris, there are so-called "human zoos" everywhere.

In the "Human Zoo", the largest number are Africans, especially the short Pygmies. Their adult height is only 1.3 meters or 1.4 meters. They are called "pocket peoples". Some Europeans now think that, Eating certain organs of the Pygmies can enhance physical fitness and strength.

Anton hated the "Human Zoo" deeply. While rejecting this organization, he came to Pretoria to find Rock, hoping to use Rock's influence to ban this organization worldwide.

"Uh, human zoo, I seem to have heard of it—" Stoudemire also heard about it, but he didn't care.

"Hehe, if white people are locked in a cage for people to watch, and people are feeding food, I believe you will not think so." Rock was not polite, and the board didn't hit his ass, so of course it wouldn't hurt.

"You're crazy, what does this have to do with me? It's not the human zoo I organized." Stoudemire's face turned red immediately, and Stoudemire would definitely be upset if he was someone else.

Rock is really helpless, white people have such double standards, even Stoudemire is no exception.

But do you know who in another time and space actually banned the "human zoo"?

It's a mustache!

"I know it has nothing to do with you. According to the standards of human zoos, can we Chinese people also be put in cages and sent to the world for exhibition?" Rock's face was gloomy, and the organizer of the "Human Zoo" should be put in a cage The exhibition allows them to experience the feeling of being locked in a cage.

Anton didn't speak, and some things couldn't be said clearly. In southern Africa, the organizers of the "Human Zoo" would definitely not dare to put Chinese in cages, but in Europe and the United States——

There is still a long way to go for the Chinese to become truly powerful.

Rock didn't want to go that far, he had to eat every bite, and he had to do things one by one. This matter was not enough with Rock's power, and it needed the federal government to come forward in an official name to form real influence.

Rock went to Philip that night, hoping that Philip would send a letter to London in the name of the Southern African Federal Government, on the grounds that the behavior of the "human zoo" had greatly hurt the feelings of southern Africans.

Figure it out!
