Chapter 1443
Probably starting in 1915, with the advancement of navigation technology, more and more ocean-going cargo ships will choose to stop at Zhenghe Island and directly cross the entire Indian Ocean.

Before that, when ocean-going freighters crossed the Indian Ocean, they basically chose to pass through Ceylon, India, and the Sultanate of Muscat. The significance of the Adan Islands to the periphery of the Indian Ocean is no less than that of the Suez Canal to the Eurasian continent.

After the lawsuit with the Royal Navy, London basically gave up its pursuit of the Adan Islands. Now the Adan Islands are still Rock’s private property, and their status is more stable than that of Nyasaland. , Many people don't even know who George V and Philip are.

According to statistics from the Port Authority of the Aldan Islands last year, there were 13115 official residents in the entire Aldan Islands, and about [-] African and Indian employees. The nature of their work in the Aldan Islands is the same as that in southern Africa, and the longest working hours are also different will be more than four years.

In addition, there are some Japanese and Southeast Asians on the island, who are engaged in trade or other businesses, and some people try to become permanent residents of the Aldan Islands, but unfortunately they cannot do so.

On this issue, Southern Africa has always been cautious, and it is not an easy task to become a Southern African nationality.

The influx of foreign population, in addition to the prosperity of Southern African business, also brought some other problems. On the day Rock arrived at Zheng He Island, a serious security incident occurred on the island. A drunk white British man directly He broke into the home of a Chinese resident and tried to rape the hostess, but was shot and killed by the hostess directly.

If it is Japanese or Indian, there is no need for a trial in this matter, and the court will not accept it if it is dead in vain.

Involving British whites is very troublesome. Many British whites have the impression that the Aldan Islands are still a British colony. British whites should enjoy superior privileges in the Aldan Islands. Therefore, some British whites demand severe punishment for shooting The hostess who killed the drunk, at least the white people who were killed should get some financial compensation instead of nothing now.

It's not nothing. According to the laws of southern Africa, not only does the hostess not need to pay the price, but the white people who are killed have to make financial compensation.

"Actually, there is not much money. When the white man who was killed broke in, he destroyed a door, a small section of the fence, and broke two pieces of glass. The sum was only a few rands. But the key to this matter is The nature is extremely bad. Some people are really outrageous, wantonly destroying public property, breaking the law and breaking the law. This kind of thing happened once in the first half of the year, but the victim was Japanese. Infringement——" Zhu Jun didn't care about exposing his family's shortcomings, and the regulation of the law always needs a long process.

"How did you deal with that?" Rock was in a bad mood. In southern Africa, it was basically impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

"Imprisonment—although there is no prison on Zheng He Island, the most indispensable thing in the Adan Islands is an uninhabited desert island. The guy was exiled to an uninhabited island of less than [-] square meters, and then there was no People have seen him—" Zhu Jun sneered, the Adan Islands are also more than [-] kilometers away from the nearest mainland, exile to an uninhabited desert island seems to be more effective than direct shooting.

Bullets cost money, after all.

"Then how are you going to deal with this matter?" Rock was very satisfied with Zhu Jun's handling method. There is no need for mercy to deal with this kind of scum.

In southern Africa, the meaning of law is not to cure diseases and save lives, but to allow criminals to be punished as they should be, otherwise it is injustice to the victims.

The southern African judiciary is still very resolute in this regard, and it is not only targeting whites. If the Chinese break the law, the southern African judiciary is also merciless. Those who should throw mines are still mines, and those who should be shot are executed. Most of the time they do it. Everyone is equal before the law.

The reason is that most of the time, there must be special cases. The law is nothing more than human feelings, and sometimes it must be dealt with according to specific circumstances.

"From my personal point of view, the hostess who shot the gun is not guilty, but there are still differences on this point. The family of the deceased hired a lawyer. The lawyer insisted that the deceased just went to the wrong door and did not threaten the hostess. He was directly shot and killed by the hostess, the hostess was a transitional defense, and the deceased should be given a certain amount of financial compensation." Zhu Jun gritted his teeth, the profession of a lawyer is really not flattering at any time, and it is criticized as the most annoying in southern Africa one of the occupations.

Although the southern African legal system is also an extension of the Anglo-American legal system, the role of lawyers is not as critical as that of the United Kingdom and the United States. In southern Africa, judges and juries play a key role in judgments, and the role of lawyers is very limited.

Of course, in some special moments, lawyers still have a role. For example, in this case, under normal circumstances, lawyers can more or less get some compensation.

It's better than nothing.

"Let's not talk about whether you have threatened the hostess. Under normal circumstances, it is legal to kill people who break into your home illegally." Rock has the impression of similar legal provisions. Private property in southern Africa is sacred and inviolable. It is mainly reflected in these aspects.

In southern Africa, illegal trespassing on other people's private land, regardless of whether it threatens the safety of the owner, the owner has the right to shoot and kill the illegal trespasser directly.

The same law applies to the guy who goes through the wrong door.

"Yes!" Zhu Jun's spirit was lifted, and the tendency of Roque's words was obvious.

"Then there is nothing to hesitate. Whoever should be responsible is the one who is responsible. The task of law enforcers is not to make peace, but to deliver justice." Rock is simple and clear. What Rock hates most in this life is the way of dealing with mud. In this way, unless it is obvious that both parties are at fault, any peaceful behavior is an injustice to the victim.

Later, Zhu Jun and the local officials of Zheng He Island held a simple welcome dinner for Rock.

Rock happily went and spent a pleasant night with the local officials of Zheng He Island.

After the dinner, Rock suddenly wanted to go out for a walk and see what the real Zheng He Island looked like.

"Don't, Locke, you often say that a gentleman can't stand behind a dangerous wall, why do you make the same mistake now?" Sidney Milner tried his best to dissuade, it was just a joke, if something happened to Rock , there will be many people who will be unlucky.

Sidney Milner is equally responsible.

"There is a way—" Rock really didn't take risks, and raised his hand to call Louis over.

After Derek Dodd's death, Rock transferred Louie to work alongside him as his personal secretary.

Leaving aside Louis' ability, there is absolutely no problem with his loyalty. He is quick-thinking and full of vigor, and he has gained Rock's trust in a short period of time.

Sidney Milner didn't even know that Louis was actually a good makeup artist, with a bushy beard, and he immediately changed Rock into a different person.

Sidney Milner is also very interested in his new look. Like Rock, he changed into a jacket and slacks, like two social animals who just got off work.

"It feels like a different person, a new experience—" Sidney Milner was amazed, looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, and then saw Rock wearing a pistol: "No, Locke, You don't even have security personnel with you?"

Sidney Milner really didn't expect Rock to play so well.

"Take it, but they have to keep a distance from us—" Rock is really not arrogant. Carrying a gun is purely a personal habit. Even when he was the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Rock was used to carrying a gun with him.

"Well, I'll forget it, I've never used this thing." Sidney Milner was a little relieved, and didn't force himself because of Rock.

Compared with Roque, Sidney Milner is truly lucky. This guy used to follow Ade, and now he follows Roque. He has always been well protected, and there is really no need to wear a weapon.

Walking out of the hotel gate, the night of Zhenghe Island is beautiful and charming. Street lights are installed on the road in front of the hotel. The sound of the violin was heard, mixed with the children's innocence and joyful laughter, and the fireworks were blowing in the face.

"It's great, if I stay here for a while, I think I will love it here--" Sidney Milner sincerely praised, seeing people living and working in peace and contentment is a great compliment to Rock and Sidney Milner Receive their greatest compliment.

"Let's go, let's get a feel for how good this place is—" Rock turned up the collar of his jacket, stroked his unaccustomed beard, and walked towards the bustling pier.

Sidney Milner followed closely, and then a large group of guards in various clothes swarmed out. They wanted to go to the pier to deploy defenses in advance to eliminate all potential dangers.

The pier is indeed very lively. Although it is night, it seems to be more lively than during the day. Now it is just the time for supper, and there are especially many snacks. There are many people on the chairs next to the pier enjoying the shade, girls in beautiful skirts On a date with an energetic young man, two uniformed patrolmen walked by not far from Roque, and one of them gave Roque a friendly smile.

Rock was in a good mood immediately, and was very interested in the candied haws sold by an old man next to the pier.

The candied haws are placed in a clean glass cabinet. The glass cabinet is crystal clear under the light. The golden syrup exudes an attractive brilliance. The hawthorns are interspersed with oranges and walnuts. The fragrance of fruit and the syrup are permeated around the glass cabinet With a sweet scent, Rock ordered a bunch of whole hawthorns, and beckoned Sidney Milner to pay.

Sidney Milner's eyes were bigger than hawthorns. Like Rock, he was also the one who went shopping without money.
