Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1645: The Gate of Light
When the three major car companies and Ford were bidding wildly, Coubertin and Latour came to Pretoria together.

Like all those who came to Pretoria for the first time, Coubertin and Latour were also shocked by the level of urban construction in Pretoria.

Lausanne, Switzerland, where the Olympic Organizing Committee is located, is known as one of the most livable cities in the world. It is known as the "International Cultural City", which shows the status of Lausanne, Switzerland.

Compared with Pretoria, which is known as "Garden City", "Park City", and "City of Veda", Lausanne, Switzerland has lost its name. Look at the prefix in front of Pretoria, Looking at the "International Cultural City" in Lausanne, one feels like a white swan in the water, and the other is a mule.

There is no other meaning, the author is so cute, what kind of evil can he have?

At the entrance of the airport expressway, a giant billboard with a height of 15 meters and a width of 50 meters is eye-catching. On it is the family portrait of the Los Angeles Eagles and the Eagles team logo with dark blue as the main tone.

Coubertin and Latour were dumbfounded by this billboard.

The Olympic Games have been held eight times, but there has never been such a big promotion.

"The Los Angeles Eagles are the pride of all Nyasaran people. They have won the world championship for two consecutive years. Rhodesia United is our eternal loser. The Los Angeles Eagles are the eternal winners!" Taxi driver He is a fan of the Los Angeles Eagles. The Eagles logo is embroidered on the front of his hat, the Eagles logo is also embroidered on the seat cover of the taxi, and the Hawks mascot hangs on the rearview mirror. owl.

"World champion?" Coubertin didn't know if there were teams from other countries participating in the Southern African League.

Even if there is, using the title of "world champion" is also suspected of arrogance.

"Yes, the Southern African Football League is the best football league in the world. If the Eagles win the Southern African Football League championship, they will naturally be the world champions. Is there any problem with that?" the taxi driver said confidently.

The football league in southern Africa may be the first truly influential professional league in the world.

Moreover, there is more than one football league in Southern Africa. In addition to the First Division Football League, there are also the Second Division Football League and the Third Division Football League. Now there are hundreds of football teams in Southern Africa. Nyasaland, where football is more developed In Los Angeles, there are a total of 12 football teams in one city, and these are only registered professional teams. I don’t know how many are not registered.

"Since it is the world champion, why doesn't Southern Africa exclude the football team from participating in the Olympics?" Coubertin had no time to stop, and Latour humiliated himself.

"What is the Olympics?" Sure enough, the taxi driver with a dazed face gave Latour a fatal blow.

"Mare Farque——" Latour's heart ached inexplicably. The key point was that the taxi driver's sincere face didn't seem to be intentional. He really didn't know what was going on with the Olympics.

"You're the one who messed with Falk, and your whole family fucked with Falk—" the taxi driver was furious, chatting well, swearing is not acceptable.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry—I guarantee with my character that Latour didn't do it on purpose—" Coubertin smoothed things over.

"Who are you? Is your character guaranteed?" The taxi driver went mad and hit him with a knowing blow.

"This is Lord Pierre de Coubertin!" Latour was anxious. He had just seen that the taxi driver was wearing a pistol.

Damn the Federal Government of Southern Africa, don't know if this scares the passengers.

Coubertin was born in a very wealthy French aristocratic family and had the title of baron. Even though France had abolished the monarchy, Coubertin's aristocratic status was still recognized.

"Oh, come on, if you were a real noble, you wouldn't take my taxi—" The taxi driver didn't believe it at all. There are also many nobles in southern Africa, such as Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry— —

When the three of them went out, they were accompanied by a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles, and there were mounted policemen in front of them to clear the way, so that they would not be as depressed as Coubertin, who had to call a taxi when they went out.

This matter, Coubertin can't explain it either.

Just after the Olympic Committee ruled Pretoria to compete with Amsterdam, there was no response from Pretoria.

This made Coubertin and Latour very uneasy. Intellectually, Coubertin and Latour were of course more inclined to Pretoria, but Pretoria was not enthusiastic, so Coubertin and Latour I simply came to Pretoria to confirm Pretoria's attitude.

To say that the federal government of Southern Africa is not very enthusiastic about the Olympic Games. Before leaving, Latour sent a telegram to the Pretoria city government. There was no one to pick up the boat, and the Olympics were not taken seriously. If Coubertin hadn't insisted, Latour almost turned around and bought a ticket to return to Switzerland.

Coubertin did not dare to return, fearing that if he missed this opportunity, Southern Africa would never be able to attend the Olympic Games.

Really don’t take the Olympics too seriously. For many countries, the Olympics is just a tool that can be manipulated. Although Coubertin and Latour know it well, they can’t do anything about it.

The strength of a country is still more reflected in its strong industry and army. What good are good sports performances? Even if a world war breaks out, a group of long-distance runners cannot be sent to participate.

Probably the only good thing about sending distance runners into a world war is that if the distance runners were to escape, there would probably be no one to catch them.

It's useless, the snipers looked at the sniper rifles in their hands without saying a word, the tankers sat on the tank and laughed, and the military dog ​​trainers were all smiles, I can't catch up with you, but two legs Those who can run on four legs—

So don't take sports too seriously. The Federal Government of Southern Africa organized a team to participate in the Olympics. They didn't even send professional athletes from major clubs. They found a few football fans to form a team to participate in the Olympics. The team scored six to zero.

Southern Africans have become accustomed to such achievements, and the newspapers did not even report a word of news in order to take care of the face of the British team.

It's not Rhodesia United beating the Eagles, which is of little reportable value.

The taxi drove into the urban area of ​​Pretoria, and there were more and more billboards on the roadside. Coubertin and Latour finally found the billboards for the Commonwealth Games.

"Pretoria is going to host the Commonwealth Games?" Coubertin was surprised. Among the major countries in the world, Russia has been excluded from the Olympic Games, and the remaining relatively large countries, except for the United States, are basically Commonwealth countries.

If the Commonwealth holds the Games, then other countries outside the Commonwealth will not even be eligible to participate, and the Olympics might really become tasteless.

"Yes, the Commonwealth of Nations is going to hold our own sports meeting. This is our lord's proposal. I heard that the sponsors alone have sold more than 2000 million yuan. The lord is really good at making money. The money will be used The construction of sports venues will benefit all of us in Pretoria—" The taxi driver thought that Coubertin would chat with him again.

"Oh oh oh, more than 2000 million pounds?" Coubertin was almost stunned by the series of shocks. The currency used in southern Africa must not be the franc.

France: MMP, if every chapter is not black, I won’t have to write it, right——

Mark: It's a good thing this chapter didn't mention me.

GBP: I still want MMP, my own son doesn’t even want me——

"Rand! It's worth more than pounds—" the taxi driver looked proud.

After the World War, in order to stabilize the value of the pound, the British government once re-bound the pound to gold.

However, the British government soon discovered that the British government was now unable to stabilize the value of the pound, so only a year later, the British government quietly unbound the pound from gold.

Now in all countries in the world, the rand is the only currency that is still tied to gold. If the federal government of southern Africa did not take the initiative to devalue the rand, the value of the rand would be extremely strong.

"How does the Organizing Committee of the Commonwealth Games operate?" Coubertin was puzzled. If the Olympic Games can also sell sponsorship for 2000 million——

It's exciting just thinking about it.

"Wow ha ha ha ha, the director of the organizing committee of the Commonwealth Games is Marshal Kitchener, and the two deputy directors are Prime Minister Milner and Prime Minister Philip. The Lord is the only member of the organizing committee. This combination needs to sell sponsors. That's not as much as you want—" In the eyes of the taxi driver, Rock selling sponsorship fees is stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

"Oh——" Latour's "oh" is very meaningful.

That's right, that fool would spend 2000 million to buy a sponsorship for a start-up sports event.

But if there are a lot of fools, then maybe.

After knowing the truth, Latour probably would shed tears, but I didn't expect the clown to be me.

"Naturally, we have always ignored the promotional role of the Olympic Games." Coubertin faintly felt that the truth was not that simple.

Thinking of the conspicuous check mark on the chest of the Eagles team members on the billboard he saw just now, a huge door of light suddenly appeared in front of Coubertin.

Now Coubertin is convinced that even if Pretoria is no longer interested in the Olympics, he has come to the right trip.

This cannot be described as "learning from scriptures".

What a pilgrimage!

"So we can do the same?" Latour still trusts Coubertin, and Latour's understanding of the Olympic Games is definitely not as good as Coubertin, the founder.

Thinking of this, Latour couldn't help feeling overwhelmed——

That's 2000 million rand!
"Of course, but before that, we need to ensure that the game is exciting enough and exciting enough, so that the audience will be attracted to watch, and the sponsors will obediently pay for it." Coubertin is in a good mood, even the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee can do this If we do, the Olympic Organizing Committee can of course follow suit.

If this doesn't look like a picture, the Olympic Organizing Committee should simply be disbanded.
