Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1468 Coffin Board

Philip Sassoon knew that the economy in southern Africa had developed well in recent years, and the gross national product had reached about three times that of the United Kingdom.

Philip Sassoon also knew that the self-confidence of southern Africans was growing, and that southern Africa was becoming more and more important in the Commonwealth.

However, Philip Sassoon still lacks respect for southern Africans. Southern Africa has only been established for a few years. Britain started the industrial revolution in 1765, and coupled with its plundering around the world, the wealth accumulated over the past 100 years should not be underestimated. At least a few more years of failure, so Philip Sassoon really didn't see the economic achievements of southern Africa.

As for the status of southern Africa, after all, the United Kingdom is still the suzerain of southern Africa. On the premise that this relationship has not undergone fundamental changes, the thinking of some British people is deeply rooted.

So when Philip Sassoon came to Southern Africa, he was really full of confidence. He probably thought that as long as he showed his signboard, he could get whatever he wanted in Southern Africa, and the ladies in Southern Africa would also flock to him. After all, he There is also a "perfect bachelor" character set.

Philip Sassoon never expected that the bigwigs in southern Africa would treat him, the Deputy Minister of the Air Force from the mainland, with such an attitude.

"Sir, if you need to cooperate with Nyasaland Airlines, then go to Nyasaland to find the person in charge of the relevant company, and don't waste time in Pretoria." Rock kindly pointed out the way to Philip Sassoon , The money delivered to the door cannot be avoided.

"Lord Nyasaland, isn't Nyasaland Airline your property?" Philip Sassoon already had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Rock smiled and said nothing. Actually, there is no need to explain this question. Isn't the UK talking about "free trade" all day long? To the Royal Air Force a big son.

"The Marquis of Nyasaland is very busy. Don't bother the Marquis of Nyasaland with this kind of small business, right?" The only one who can sneer at the Deputy Minister of the Royal Air Force is Stoudemire. Henry still has to give Philip Sassoon saved some face.

Philip Sassoon was almost pissed off. The purchase list of the Royal Air Force cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of pounds. Is this a small business?

These savages in southern Africa have too much appetite.

However, Roque really didn't take it seriously. Nyasaland Airlines has been producing civilian aircraft at full capacity in the past two years. Even though two new factories have been added, the order is still scheduled for three years later. Wait, Rock can afford to wait.

Like other countries, Britain also began research on aircraft after the end of the World War with reference to southern African fighters.

Reference is a more pleasant description, but it is more appropriate to replace it with a copycat.

Not only the United Kingdom, but also France, Italy, the United States, and even Japan. After the World War, the so-called "self-developed" fighter jets are actually similar in appearance to the "Strong Wind" in southern Africa.

It's just that the appearance is similar. Compared with the first-generation "Strong Wind" produced in southern Africa, the engine has been replaced three times as a whole.

The performance of the fighter jets "self-developed" by European countries after the World War is roughly equivalent to that of the second-generation Gale.

Compared with the new generation of fighter jets installed in southern Africa, there is a huge gap.

After the banquet, Rock asked Zach to investigate Philip Sassoon.

It turned out that this investigation was terrible, and the Sassoon family really had something.

It is said that Philip Sassoon's great-grandfather, David Sassoon, was once the chief financial officer of the Governor of Baghdad.

It is a pity that David Sassoon has no professional ethics and was involved in a corruption scandal during his tenure, so David Sassoon absconded with his family and settled in Mumbai, India.

Jews were still smart, and David Sassoon set up companies in Bombay, running accountants, carpet warehouses, and opium businesses, and soon became one of the richest men in Bombay.

David Sassoon's opium business was mainly sold to the Qing Dynasty in the 19s.

The harm caused by the opium trade to the Qing State does not need to be repeated. After the Qing State began to ban the opium trade, the profits of the Sassoon family were affected. Therefore, with the support of the Sassoon family, the United Kingdom—or the British East India Company, launched the first An Opium War.

After the death of David Sassoon, the Sassoon family began to transform, and the East India Company was completely terminated in the 18s. At this time, the influence of the Sassoon family continued to expand.

Philip Sassoon's grandfather, Albert David Sassoon, was the main benefactor of the city of Mumbai. The Sassoon Pier was built by the Sassoon family. Albert Sassoon was also named a Baron in 1890. He had a good relationship with the Prince of Wales, the late Edward VII,
Philip Sassoon's father, Edward Albert Sassoon, successfully married the Rothschild family. In 1887, he married Gustave Rothschild's daughter, Irene Caroline Rothschild. And successfully elected to Congress.

In the generation of Philip Sassoon, the influence of the Sassoon family continued to expand. Philip Sassoon established clubs, set up awards, and held social activities such as beauty pageants. Philip Sassoon also successfully became "the most perfect bachelor in Britain".

All that the Sassoon family now owns was built on the original opium trade.

Rock is completely disgusted with that period of history, so after learning about the background of the Sassoon family, Rock's disgust for the entire Sassoon family has reached its peak.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that David Sassoon was one of the founders of HSBC.

The Sassoon Building on the Bund of Shanghai was also built by David Sassoon.

While Rock was investigating Philip Sassoon, Philip Sassoon had already come to Los Angeles, looking for opportunities to cooperate with Nyasaran Airlines.

Philip Sassoon came to Los Angeles from Pretoria by plane. This was the first time for Philip Sassoon to take a civil aviation plane. This gave Philip Sassoon a new feeling and made Philip Sassoon Johnson is full of confidence in the cooperation.

It's a pity that Nyasaran Airlines' attitude towards Philip Sassoon gave Philip Sassoon a blow.

"Hi sir, I am Yan Ting, the sales manager of Nyasaran Air, you can call me Stone—" It was neither Retief, the general manager of Nyasaran Air, nor Retief who came to receive Philip Sassoon. The chief technical representative, who was only a district sales manager, made Philip Sassoon feel slighted.

"What is Mr. Retief doing?" Philip Sassoon behaved like a chick in front of Rock, Henry, and Stoudemire, and showed his true colors when facing Yan Ting.

"Sorry, Mr. Retief's whereabouts are beyond my control—" Yan Ting smiled all over his face, and Philip Sassoon was even more annoyed by these words.

The implication of Yan Ting's words is obvious, since Retief's whereabouts are beyond Yan Ting's control, Philip Sassoon, the Deputy Minister of the British Air Force, cannot be involved either.

"This is a big business with a total amount of hundreds of millions—" Philip Sassoon sneered, and he didn't seem to understand the situation yet.

"Yeah, that's why I'm here." Yan Ting still smiled, so what if the total amount is over [-] million, Nyasaran Airlines has no shortage of sales, nor lack of partners.

That is to say, Nyasaran Airlines does not open this hole, otherwise airlines all over the world will flock to it tomorrow.

"Is this the attitude of your Nyasaran Airlines? It's ridiculous!" Philip Sassoon also had a temper, and he got up angrily and turned to leave: "I will stay at the Rhodesia Hotel for three days. After three days, no matter what the result is, I will leave Nyasaland."

Yan Ting didn't care, even his smile didn't change. After Philip Sassoon left, Yan Ting put away his smile.

Cooperation?

Ning match?
Asking for help requires an attitude of asking for help.

After leaving Nyasaran Airlines, Philip Sassoon did not return to the Rhodesia Hotel, but went to the Nyasaran Airlines club on the outskirts of the city.

After the end of the World War, civil aviation developed rapidly. While Nyasaland sold civil aircraft to the outside world, it also undertook the task of training pilots for airlines of various countries. In the club of Nyasaland Airlines, there were pilots from the UK is being trained.

At the club, Philip Sassoon finally felt the respect a member of Congress deserved.

That's right, Philip Sassoon inherited his father's seat in Congress, but what about democracy?
This fucker has been doing it for a long time and it is still hereditary!
It's really standing up and down.

"—We live very well here, and the instructors who train us are also very responsible. I heard that he was an air combat hero during the World Wars. Unfortunately, we don't have access to the most advanced aircraft, which Nyasaland Airlines sold to us. The planes are from the previous generation, and the southern Africans are disgusting, they are replacing the planes they use locally with the latest ones, and refurbishing the planes that are obsolete in the local area and then selling them to the outside world—” Kela, the aviation director who led the team to receive training in Los Angeles Doc was very excited. The deputy minister of the Air Force was already a very high-ranking official for ordinary people.

"What? Nyasaran Airlines sold us the refurbished aircraft?" Philip Sassoon was shocked, but this operation seemed very British.

"How is it possible? Nyasaran Airlines still has integrity. Those refurbished planes were bought by the Italians and Japanese—" Craddock looked disdainful. It turns out that this is called "ethics". It's really long experience!

"Then why don't you sell us the most advanced aircraft?" Philip Sassoon was picky.

"Can't afford it, the most advanced planes are expensive, and we don't have that much money—" Craddock looked frustrated, the words "no money" came out of Craddock's mouth, and slapped Philip hard like a slap in the face Sassoon's face.

Take a look at the majestic "Empire on which the sun never sets", what has become of it under the leadership of you gentlemen?

If Queen Victoria knew, I am afraid that the coffin boards would not be able to cover it.
