Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1647 Exaggeration
After coming to Pretoria, Coubertin and Latour have fully realized the achievements of southern Africans in architecture.

Whether it is towering skyscrapers or parks in the middle of the street with a view every step, the southern Africans have achieved the ultimate.

After dinner last night, Coubertin and Latour went downstairs for a walk. Originally, Coubertin and Latour were only planning to take a walk in the garden below the hotel, but they accidentally walked to the side of the Apis River.

Coubertin swore that he didn't want to go too far. According to the experience of taking care of Baidan, it is not a good idea to leave the hotel too far at night. After all, even in Lausanne, Switzerland, the security situation is not very good.

It is only to blame that the greening of Pretoria is so good that Coubertin and Latour didn't even notice that they had already reached the Apis River.

At this time, Coubertin discovered that the southern Africans were so rich that they completely hardened the banks of the Apis River, and then built gardens and trails along the river. The trails were paved with solid wood, and the surface was treated with waterproof and anticorrosion. After walking tens of meters by touching the railing, there was no dust on my hands.

This is a good testament to the excellent air quality in Pretoria.

After discovering this fact, Coubertin had the urge to come to Pretoria to retire.

Latour also has the urge to move the Olympic Organizing Committee headquarters to Pretoria.

The construction site in front of me is completely different from the delicate and delicate feeling I felt last night. The deafening machines, the complex scaffolding, the workers shuttling through it, the sharp whistle of the dispatcher and the angry roar of the engineer are intertwined, presented in Coubertin What Latour sees is the beauty of industry that he has never felt before.

"Gentlemen, if you want to enter the construction site, please wear hard hats, and don't get too close to the construction site, hard hats can't provide perfect protection—" the site construction director brought Coubertin and Latour hard hat.

Coubertin and Latour were surprised to find that the person in charge of the on-site construction was African.

Then Coubertin and Latour realized that most of the construction workers on the scaffolding were Africans.

Recalling the trail he walked last night, Coubertin was thoughtful.

"Haki, we need to speed up the construction progress. Our current speed is too slow, so it is impossible to complete the construction before June." Lei Yiming's voice was stern.

"Sir, we have tried our best. Yesterday, two workers fell off the scaffolding. Now we are working 24 hours a day in three shifts, and the workers can't rest for a moment—" Haki looked sad, and the scaffolding more than 20 meters high , do not ask the result.

"If you can't finish the project by June, you and your boss will have to jump off the scaffold. Don't tell me you've tried your best, you can do better!" Lei Yiming was demanding, but now he still As for the rainy season, if it rains, everyone will be in trouble.

Well, it seems that it is more troublesome if it does not rain.

But it doesn't matter, Christian's construction company has made preparations, and even if it rains, it will not affect the construction of the project.

"Yes sir, I will try my best—" Harkey turned and ran, with a fierce look on his face: "—Dude cheer me up, speed up, don't let me see you slacking off, or I'll kill you You're hanging on scaffolding—"

Coubertin and Latour were completely numb, and at this moment they finally understood how Pretoria's nearly perfect urban construction came about.

"Sorry gentlemen, these Africans are like this, if you don't kick their butts all the time, they will just lie on the ground and sleep—" When Lei Yiming faced Coubertin and Latour again, his face was full. gentle and refined.

"Naturally, so do Africans in Europe—" Latour was not surprised. Behind the bright and bright surface, there was usually darkness and filth. This was not unique to southern Africa, it was the same all over the world.

"Hehe, not only Africans, but also Europeans." Coubertin was not surprised. Europeans were also divided into poor and rich. If there is no supervision, European workers will also work hard.

Otherwise, how do you think the term "moyangong" came from?

It is said that in 1917, the United States used the "Boxer Indemnity" of the Qing Dynasty to build the Peking Union Medical College in Peking. The project cost 500 million US dollars and covered an area of ​​22 hectares. This project was funded and designed by the Americans. The workers at that time called it For "foreign workers".

Americans have high requirements for building quality. The appearance of Concord Medical College adopts the traditional Chinese brick grinding and glazed tile roof. Since Concord Hospital has 14 main buildings and is a high-rise building, the "grinding" process is very complicated. Therefore, participating in the construction Many workers in the project call this process "grinding foreign workers".

After that, "grinding foreign workers" became synonymous with dawdling and sabotage.

"There are currently six venues that have started construction at the same time. In addition to this, there is also the Athlete Village where the athletes live. A total of 12 buildings will be built, which can accommodate nearly 1500 athletes. These apartment buildings will not be demolished after the Commonwealth Games. At that time, it will be sold to the citizens of Pretoria, in short, all the buildings are not one-time buildings.” Lei Yiming had just walked a few steps when he found two reporters taking pictures.

"Which newspaper are you a reporter?" Lei Yiming asked proactively.

"Mr. Lei, we are reporters from The Times. It won't take long for you to accept our interview." The reporter was very happy after seeing Lei Yiming.

"Sorry, if you want to interview, you can go to my studio to make an appointment. It's definitely not right now." Lei Yiming's work is also very busy, and it is only Rock's order that Lei Yiming can take time out of his busy schedule. Time to accompany Coubertin and Latour to visit the construction site.

Rock didn't have time to see Coubertin and Latour these days, so he certainly wouldn't neglect them.

In order for Coubertin and Latour to learn more about Pretoria, Roque took the initiative to send a car and driver to Coubertin and Latour. This was definitely not to monitor Coubertin and Latour. After all, Roque What evil could Ke have in mind?

Seeing Lei Yiming dismiss the reporter, Coubertin took the initiative to ask: "Is there a model room in the athletes' village where the athletes live?"

Coubertin was excited, learned and learned again——

When the Olympic Games were held in Paris last time, a row of wooden houses were built next to the "Columbe" stadium for the athletes to live in.

Those wooden houses were all demolished after the Olympic Games. They were equivalent to one-off buildings. Not to mention the pure expenditure did not produce any benefits, and the athletes were uncomfortable to live in.

After seeing how Pretoria organized a large-scale multi-sports meeting, Coubertin realized that it could still be done like this.

In this case, the large-scale multi-sports games will not only not lose money, but can also be profitable. At that time, the Olympic Organizing Committee will not have to cry and beg a certain city to host the Olympics, but all cities will cry and cry to host the Olympics——

That scene is really exciting just thinking about it.

"No, it is a common apartment building in southern Africa. Of course, in order to allow athletes to compete in a better state, the facilities in the athletes' village will be better, the greening will be better, and the service will be more thoughtful." Lei Yiming Complete Versailles, three "some" together, when the Commonwealth Games is over, I am afraid that it will be snatched up by the people of Pretoria.

"This is simply amazing!" Latour held back for a long time before choking out this sentence.

It has to be said that compared with other countries, the approach in southern Africa is too humane.

In this era, the social status of athletes is not high. When the American NBL was first established, in order to prevent spectators from hurting players, the stadium was surrounded by barbed wire.

It's useless, the barbed wire can indeed prevent the audience from rushing into the stadium, but the audience will burn the players with cigarette butts, just say how low the quality of the Americans is.

Jesse Owens, who was named one of the best athletes in the world in the 20th century, won four gold medals in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. After returning to the United States, he couldn't even find a job. He had to take the bus through the back door Cars, can't sit in the front row, have to race cars, motorcycles, and even animals in order to make a living,

United States: If you don't blackmail France, you will start blacking me, can you stop feeling uncomfortable if you don't black every day.

France: If you don’t hate anyone, don’t think that your name is America because it’s just a blind translation. Your name really means “the land discovered by Ameriel Vespucci”.

Ameriel Vespucci was an Italian businessman, navigator, explorer, and traveler.

Regardless of the number of suffixes in the name, everyone knows what navigators or explorers actually meant in the [-]th century. Even if you don’t mention these, what’s so beautiful about using a businessman’s name as the name of a country?
"We have always been people-oriented. The ultimate goal of all these great buildings is to provide people with better services. In our stadium, there are even special passages for wheelchairs, and the toilets in the stadium are the same." Lei Yiming The expression is proud. Being able to achieve this level in 1926 is indeed something to be proud of.

Coubertin and Latour can only nod their heads. Southern Africa fully takes care of the interests of the disabled, but the whole of Europe does not even have a decent stadium. In terms of infrastructure, the gap between Europe and Southern Africa is too great .

Just when Coubertin and Latour were feeling excited, on February [-]th, the American "Washington Post" suddenly published a report on the Commonwealth Games.

The report critically exposed southern Africa, claiming that dozens of workers had been accidentally killed during the construction of the Crown Stadium in Pretoria.

The Federal Government of Southern Africa is also accused of disregarding human life, wantonly oppressing Africans, and achieving the economic miracle of Southern Africa.

This report did not cause much sensation. After all, the status of Africans in the United States is not high. The safety facilities of large-scale projects are not perfect these days, and dead people are commonplace. with the bones of Chinese laborers", this is not an exaggeration.

ps: Brothers, the updates these days are awesome——
