Chapter 151

In fact, it doesn't matter to Rock whether Scarlett is beautiful or not.

Roque's current appreciation level has been infinitely raised by Ada, and Roque really doesn't like ordinary vulgar fans.

Among the women that Roque has come into contact with now, only Ada and Phyllis, Roque can still see it, others——

To be honest, most of the women Rock has come into contact with in this era are not as good as Scarlett.

At least Scarlett didn't have any peculiar smell even if she didn't use perfume. Under normal circumstances, the body odor of white people is actually relatively heavy. Even if Scarlett deliberately kept a distance from Rock, at this distance, if Scarlett There is a peculiar smell on the body, and Rock should also notice it.

Well, the bigger surprise is that if hair and skin are not considered, Scarlett is still worthy of the name. Rock knows that there is an actress in American Hollywood in the 21st century named Scarlett. This Scarlett, compared to that Scarlett doesn't seem to be bad at all.

Of course, although according to ordinary people's standards, Scarlett can be regarded as a beauty, but Rock has no desire for Scarlett.

Rabbits still don't eat grass at the edge of the nest.

However, although the grass beside the nest cannot be eaten, it is very pleasing to be able to work with beautiful women. This is a pleasant surprise. When Rock chose Scarlett, he did not expect Scarlett to be so beautiful.

Otherwise, it is estimated that Ada would not leave Scarlett to Rock.

"Tell Christian, there's no need to save me money." Rock is generous. Christian can build a gold mining camp for Rock without profit, but this is a government project, and Christian doesn't need to save money for the police station.

"The budget given by Mr. Christian already includes his profits." Scarlett was expressionless.

Well, Rock can finally understand why so many people like to undertake government projects, it's really lucrative.

But then again, as an excellent profiteer, doesn't Christian know some other unspoken rules?

Wait, Scarlett said "your account" just now.

Very well, Christian is indeed a qualified businessman!

Soon, Christian came to see Rock.

Still came to send money.

"—Because the police station and the gold mining camp are going to be built at the same time, I got a bigger discount when purchasing materials. This is the remainder after the discount." Christian respectfully sent a check for 1000 pounds .

Only £1000!

Rock actually felt that this amount of money was nothing, it was really inflated.

"Christian, take this money to register a company, and then recruit a few prospectors." Rock didn't want to put the money in the bank, he had to spend it to generate money.

"Inspector, are you going to explore the mine?" Christian was inexplicably surprised.

"Otherwise?" Rock didn't like Christian's attitude. If he understands, he must implement it, and if he doesn't understand, he must implement it.

"Okay, okay—" Christian immediately came to his senses.

"Remember, put the company under your name." Don't bother the two masters, as long as Christian is obedient, Christian will definitely get a steady stream of benefits from Rock.

"Okay, okay—thank you, Inspector, thank you, I will work hard." Only then did Christian realize his snot bubbles.

In Roque's eyes, Christian is a relatively reliable guy who is easy to use.

In Christian's eyes, Rock is someone who can be trusted and relied on. Back then, Rock brought Christian out of Robben Island and gave Christian a chance to start his career. It also took just under a year to become the largest builder in the Transvaal.

And in this year, Christian witnessed Rock's rapid growth from a sheriff-level commando deputy captain to a senior inspector, and served as the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department. Points, Roque is still very young now, how far will Roque rise in a few years?

Christian wasn't even sure where Rock's limit was, so he could only follow in Rock's footsteps so that he wouldn't be abandoned by Rock.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious. Rock is going to set up a company now, but due to his identity, Rock cannot be the legal person of the company, so Rock wants to put the company under Christian's name. This is another opportunity for Christian. Chance for Rock's henchman.

The benefits have to be reaped, and in retrospect, work has to be done.

"On the night of the guerrilla attack, two guards were killed by the guerrillas because they resisted. The rest of the guards and staff all escaped. We tried our best in the past two days, but only found some of them. Now they are being interrogated separately. , but it may take some time to get the results." Martin is in charge of interrogation work, which can be regarded as Martin's "ancestral craft", and the entire Johannesburg Police Department, only Martin has this ability.

"Tell Yaya to let him scatter his men. I feel that this guerrilla must still be in Johannesburg. They may be hiding in a certain farm." Rock made a bold assumption based on the information he had.

"Yes—to deal with the guerrillas, we need more horses." Martin was also worried. The Johannesburg Police Department had horses, but it was far from enough.

In the era when there were no cars, one could not do anything without military horses. Rock had already applied to Henry, but there was no response yet.

"There will be, let's look for clues first." Don't worry about this question. Rock asks Henry for a horse, and Henry must ask the Governor's Mansion. To provide Rock with the necessary support.

Now Cape has no shortage of horses. In order to deal with the Boers, the British government sent more than 35 military horses to Cape. Although there are a large number of draft horses, there are still many real war horses. If Alfred Milner finds Kitchener, it is unrealistic to want a lot, but there is still hope for one or two thousand horses. After all, after the war, those military horses are also a burden to the expeditionary army.

Yes, it is indeed cumbersome. Although military horses are expensive, even excellent military horses are expensive, after the war is over, it will be more expensive to send military horses back to the British mainland from the Cape. From an economic point of view, the expeditionary force will send those It is most cost-effective to sell and dispose of military horses on the spot.

Don't think that the British government can't do this kind of thing. As the most powerful country in the world, Britain is absolutely qualified to be willful, just like the United States after the Gulf War. How did the US government deal with those Humvees and tanks after the Gulf War? of?

Without processing, the U.S. government discarded all the tanks and armored vehicles after dismantling the instruments and equipment on those tanks and armored vehicles.

This is true wealth and wealth.
