Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1550 Entering the Palace of Justice

Why do those in positions of power cherish their words like gold, because every word they say may cause serious consequences, so they can only be cautious in their words and deeds, like a certain Twitter president who posts more than 100 Internet complaints every day, it is more than words. Lost typical.

Rock has always been curious why Lisa Khan would rather risk conflict with southern Africa than bring up the old story again.

This is not rational for Lisa Khan. The gap in strength between the Persian Empire and southern Africa is obvious. If it is only for the sake of interests, it seems unreasonable. After fighting against Southern Africa, it will not do any good for the Persian Empire.

The industrial foundation of the Persian Empire is extremely poor, and it is actually a semi-feudal and semi-colonial agricultural country. Although Britain and Russia have divided spheres of influence in Persia, the largest trading partner of the Persian Empire is precisely southern Africa.

Now the two countries with the strongest economic strength in the world are Southern Africa and the United States.

The United States is too far away from the Persian Empire, and its trade with the Persian Empire is restricted by the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca on the left and right respectively. Commodities, there was no advantage in the Persian Empire.

Relatively speaking, commodities from southern Africa can reach Persia directly through Port Edward without any additional taxes, which is a huge advantage over the United States.

If the Persian Empire and Southern Africa are at odds, then Southern Africa does not need to adopt other methods, just raising the export tariffs to the Persian Empire will make the Persian Empire very uncomfortable.

Later, Brad's office sent Rock a transcript of the call.

When Kazmi Hassanzad returned to the Persian Empire's embassy in southern Africa, he spoke on the phone with George Cecil, the British commissioner to southern Africa, for an hour and 10 minutes.

Probably neither Kazmi Hassanzad nor George Cecil knew that the telephones of all embassies and consulates of other countries in southern Africa were under monitoring by Brad's office.

At this time, calls were transferred through operators, and in southern Africa, especially Pretoria, almost all telephone operators were members of Brad's office.

It is very simple to improve the confidentiality of calls, just lay a telephone line yourself, this is the so-called confidential line.

But all the telecommunications companies in southern Africa are monopolized by a few large telecommunications companies, the largest being Nyasaland Telecom and Rhodesia Telecom. Guess who the bosses of these two companies are?
What's more, the laying of telephone lines in Pretoria has to be reported to the Pretoria city government for approval. Guess whether the city government will approve it?

Even if it is approved, this kind of telephone line can actually be monitored. Don't underestimate the technical strength of Brad's office.

After reading the phone records, Rock didn't say anything, and took the phone records to find Philip.

Philip is teaching Rose horseback riding in the manor. Since Roque was elected as the next prime minister, Philip seldom lives in the Palace of Justice. Most of the time he stays at his manor on the outskirts of Pretoria to adapt to retirement in advance.

In order to better play with the children, Philip's manor is like a large zoo. It not only raises British pony, but also alpacas, reindeer, Falabella and other animals that children love to see.

Falabella is a miniature horse breed from Argentina, bred by British Shetland ponies. This kind of horse can be the smallest horse in the world. It is generally only [-] to [-] centimeters high, and its size is about the same as A medium-sized pet dog is about the same.

A medium-sized pet dog is about the size of a female Samoyed. The reason why it is emphasized is that the male is much larger than the female.

Unlike Judy who was not in good health when she was a child, Rose has a lively personality and good health. She has an extraordinary hobby for riding. Rose doesn't like the pony that Philip prepared for the children at all. She likes Philip's horse A racehorse called Lightning.

Horse racing is one of the most popular sports in southern Africa. Lightning is a four-year-old Akhal Teke horse, covered in light gold, who has won many horse racing championships.

Of course, for Rose, who just went to elementary school, Lightning, who is more than two meters tall, is too tall, so when Rose is riding on the horse, Philip has to hold the rein, surrounded by several horse trainers An accident happened.

When seeing Roque, Rose yelled with excitement. Lightning seemed uneasy about such small and careful steps, and couldn't help but feel a little commotion.

Philip reacted quickly and reined tightly, and the horse trainer next to him immediately hugged Rose down.

The little guy didn't have a trace of fear, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he laughed and ran towards Rock with open arms.

Rock's heart almost melted, he threw the folder aside, picked up Rose, and happily circled around.

Philip was very helpless, the little guy had never been so close to him.

"What is this?" Philip knew that Roque would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"See for yourself—" Rock didn't want to explain.

Philip opened the folder, and just after reading a few lines, his face began to look ugly.

It wasn't just the Persian Empire that coveted Khuzestan, but the British Empire as well.

About half a year ago, the British Military Intelligence received news that Khuzestan had massive underground reserves of oil, estimated to be no less than Port Elizabeth.

It really made the British Empire salivate.

Britain and Russia divided the Persian Empire, the southern half belonged to the British sphere of influence, the northern half belonged to the Russian sphere of influence, and Khuzestan belonged to the southern half of the British.

That's why the Congress of the Persian Empire brought up the old matter after Lisa Khan ascended the throne, hoping to redeem Khuzestan from the Adam Company.

It is precisely because of the support of the British Empire behind this that Lisa Khan has the confidence to fight hard with southern Africa.

"What are you going to do?" Philip asked Rock for his opinion. He was about to leave office and did not want to turn against London during his tenure.

"I haven't submitted this call record to the Governor. No matter what, we have to teach the Persians a lesson." Roque didn't want to turn his back on London, but the Persians were condemned to death and lived.

"Don't give it to the governor, or how do you explain the source of this call record?" Philip was unsure of Kitchener's position.

Kitchener's position is actually changing at any time. If the opposing sides are London and Pretoria, then Kitchener may also stand in London. After all, Kitchener is the governor of the British Empire in southern Africa.

If the two opposing parties were southern Africa and the Persian Empire, then Kitchener was undoubtedly in southern Africa, that is certain.

Rock shook his head and smiled bitterly. Don't underestimate the capabilities of British intelligence personnel. Southern Africa is still a British overseas dominion. It is not easy for the British to infiltrate southern Africa.

"Khuzestan is really important to southern Africa?" Philip didn't even know how many resources Khuzestan had underground.

"It's very important. There is a huge amount of oil underground in Khuzestan, which is enough for the whole world to use for hundreds of years." Rock didn't say how many barrels, because Philip didn't have the idea.

The hundreds of years here are for the current world. With the development of industry in the future, the demand for oil will further increase.

"That must not be handed over to the Persians. What is the attitude of the Persians now?" Philip immediately forgot about the interests of the British Empire, and Adan Company also had shares of the Matilda family.

The Matilda family here does not refer to Philip himself, but to Henry and Owen.

The Matilda family is now a general concept. As the patriarch of the Matilda family, Philip is not as economically powerful as Owen and Phyllis, let alone Rock Henry.

Although Owen is indifferent, he is now the largest timber supplier in southern Africa.

The Johannesburg textile company under the name of Phyllis occupies a monopoly position in the textile industry in southern Africa. Its branch factory has even opened to Australia, and it also employs hundreds of thousands of employees.

"The Persians should be just a test, they are not ready to tear themselves apart with us—Lisa Khan, hehe—" Rock sneered, really made Lisa Khan tear himself apart with southern Africa, and lent Lisa Khan He dare not dare.

"Okay, I see. Tomorrow I will send a telegram to His Excellency the Prime Minister and ask him what he means—" Philip knew that this was not necessarily what Stanley Baldwin meant.

The current situation in the UK, the Prime Minister's control over the country, is actually far from that of southern Africa.

The prime minister of southern Africa is actually similar to the head of an independent state.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is responsible to the King of the United Kingdom and is subject to the checks and balances of the House of Commons—oh, and the House of Lords cannot be ignored. The current House of Lords has not been reduced to a decoration, and it still has a great influence on the United Kingdom.

"No, don't send a telegram to the Prime Minister. It has not reached this point yet." Rock is not in a hurry, no matter what reason Lisa Khan begged Khuzestan from southern Africa, Rock will give Lisa Khan a lesson.

On January 1925, 1, the Spring Festival of the traditional Lunar Year Yichou, that is, the day Roque entered the Palace of Justice, the battleship "East India" of the Indian Ocean Fleet broke into the Persian port of Hahbahar and sank three Persian ships. Fishing boats shelled Hahbahar and sank the heavy cruiser "Darius" which was being repaired in Hahbahar.

The "Darius" heavy cruiser is one of the two heavy cruisers purchased by Persia from the United Kingdom. When passing through the Suez Canal, the "Darius" heavy cruiser broke down due to a boiler failure and was towed back to Kazakhstan by the Persians using a tugboat. Herbahar maintenance, until now has not been repaired.

Now, "Darius" was directly sunk by the battleship "East India", and the Persians finally didn't have to look at "Darius" parked in the dock with heartache.
