Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1651 There Is No Conspiracy Theory

After confirming that Pretoria will host the ninth Olympic Games, Coubertin and Latour finally let go of the big stone in their hearts and completely let go.

In southern Africa, if you don't want to work and just want to eat, drink and be merry, it really is paradise on earth.

Coubertin met a new friend in the hotel, William from Asia Minor Peninsula.

The name William, as common in England as Tom in America, is uncommon in Asia Minor.

The point is that the person who called himself "William" looked like an Ottoman at first glance. There are not many people called William in Asia Minor Peninsula, and most of them are pseudonyms.

Who doesn’t have any secrets yet? Coubertin doesn’t ask the bottom line. Has it been raining every day recently? Coubertin has no other place to go, and the hotel and cafe have become the best places to go. As a result, he and William became friends after going back and forth. People either drink tea in a cafe or go to a bar for a drink, but they are also enjoying themselves.

"Southern Africa is a paradise on earth, which makes people linger and forget to return. I have lived here for three years, and now I have become a complete Southern African." Masculine beard, light blue eyes, although he is a little older, his body is well managed, and he has not obviously gained weight.

What impresses Coubertin is that William's every move shows that he has received good etiquette training, which is usually a course only for nobles. Coubertin himself is a nobleman and knows these courses very well.

"You have been living in the hotel, are you working here?" Coubertin was curious, the Rhodesia Hotel is not cheap, if you stay for three years, even the business room, Coubertin can't afford it.

"Enjoying life is my job—" William half-lyed on the sofa and waved lazily, half-squinting his eyes and looking at the rain and fog outside the window. This is also a person with a story.

Coubertin nodded and stopped talking. Everyone has their own secrets. Since William doesn't want to tell, Coubertin won't inquire.

There is a saying that all roads lead to Rome, but some people were born in Rome, and this was obviously the case for William.

Among the aristocratic class, there is a group abandoned by the family. They are also part of the family, but they are excluded from the core of decision-making and cannot participate in the operation of the family business. They are a reproductive machine without emotion except to eat and wait to die. Well, that's probably the case with William.

To put it bluntly, the family spends money to support you. As long as you don't make trouble and don't bring trouble to the family, it's fine.

Southern Africa is the farthest from Europe, with an excellent environment, a developed economy, and rich cultural and entertainment life, so it has become the first choice of many so-called "playboys".

In the evening, Coubertin saw another side of Pretoria.

This is a dinner held by a Russian, who is said to be some kind of earl. Although the Russian Empire has been destroyed, there are countless Russians living all over the world. They have lost their homeland, and the new Soviet Russian government does not accept them. So they become the "abandoned people" of this world.

To be precise, it should be the "remnants" of the last century, which is the self-deprecation of their group.

"There are many remnants in Pretoria, Hungarians, Russians, French, Ottomans—too many. It is said that there will be a crown prince coming later. I hope you remember how to greet the crown prince." William said. Laughing, he and Coubertin are now in a manor on the outskirts of Pretoria, which was said to have been the property of the Rhodes family.

The wealth owned by the Rhodes family is no less than that of the royal families of some European countries. The manor is naturally decorated with all kinds of splendor. The most indispensable thing in southern Africa is gold and diamonds. The chandelier in the center of the banquet hall is decorated with diamonds. of.

A genuine diamond, not the kind of counterfeit product that uses crystal or glass. Although the purity of the diamond used as a chandelier is not very good, it is still a diamond after all.

Although the banquet has not yet started, guests have already arrived one after another.

To Coubertin's surprise, the clothes worn by many guests have been phased out even in Europe now. Some ladies still wear the so-called court dresses and lace veils that were popular in the last century. Silk gloves abound, necklaces and bracelets are decorated with all kinds of jewels, men have so much pomade on their heads that mosquitoes may not be able to stand on them, and many people have family crests embroidered on their clothes.

As for the family badge, Coubertin must be familiar with it as a nobleman. The Romanov family, the Hohenzollern family, the Habsburgs, Coubertin even discovered the badge of the Bonaparte family, and did not know how to wear it. What is the relationship between the young man and the famous Napoleon.

This is also normal, the European aristocracy has been around for thousands of years, and there are aristocratic branches all over the world, with countless members, it is normal that Coubertin does not know each other.

"Romanov is the younger brother of His Majesty Karl, and Wallace is the nephew of His Majesty the Kaiser. The woman next to Ali is a baroness from England. The world war did not affect the relationship between Ali and Wallace. They They are best friends—" William whispered to Coubertin in the corner of the banquet hall, most of these people's names were fake.

Obviously, this is a gathering of down-and-out nobles living in southern Africa.

After discovering this, Coubertin somewhat regretted coming to this banquet.

"Did you see that guy with a big beard? His name is Patrick. It is said that he is a member of the royal family of the Qajar dynasty. After Lisa Khan overthrew the Qajar dynasty, Patrick established a government in exile in Egypt, but this guy has always been in Biel Tolia, dreaming of overthrowing Lisa Khan and restoring the Qajar dynasty—” William sneered, but his eyes were a little bit painful.

Most of the people in this hall have dreams similar to Patrick's.

Too bad it's just a dream.

"I have already contacted Colonel Mark of the Umbrella Corporation, and he agreed to help me to the greatest extent. As long as I can raise 50 rand, the Umbrella Corporation will help me restore the country. This is a golden opportunity. If someone is willing to help me , I swear he will get a hundred times in return—" Patrick sputtered, desperately trying to sell to the people around him.

Unfortunately, the people around Patrick were obviously not interested in his sales. Although they smiled politely and looked at Patrick with encouraging eyes, they shook their heads repeatedly when money was mentioned.

It probably means that I support you spiritually, but I really don't have money.

Coubertin shook his head slightly, 50 rand sounds like a lot, but it is actually not much for these members of the nobility, and most of them can be spent together.

Including that Mr. Patrick, his net worth should be very rich. Looking at the brand-new watch on his wrist and the huge diamond ring on his finger, the outfit cost tens of thousands.

The reason for selling to others is to use other people's money to restore the country.

In this way, the benefits of winning the war of restoration of the country are all their own, and they have nothing to lose if they fail to win. Anyway, it is not their own money.

As for the so-called "one-hundred-fold return", it's just a matter of hearing, but don't take it seriously. Even if Patrick overthrew the Pahlavi Dynasty, he can still renege on his debt.

Just now, Lisa Khan ascended the throne in New Tehran, creating the Pahlavi dynasty.

New Tehran, almost completely rebuilt by Lisa Khan.

A few years ago, Lisa Khan believed that the ancient buildings in Tehran at that time, such as Gulestan Palace, Tuphane Square, Castle, and Fortress, did not conform to the concept of modern cities, so he completely flattened the previous Tehran and built a new one from scratch. New Tehran.

In Tehran today, modern buildings such as the National Bank, Police Headquarters, Telegraph Office, and Military Academy have just been built. All the ancient buildings in the city have been demolished, and the ancient streets that have existed for thousands of years have been replaced by wide and straight roads. Churches and castles full of age are replaced by modern city parks and squares, mottled stone roads are replaced by asphalt, and historical sculptures and murals are replaced by bright glass windows.

It is hard to say which is better, the new Tehran or the old Tehran, but for the Pahlavi dynasty, a brand new Tehran has indeed completely erased all the memories left by the Qajar dynasty.

"This guy is a liar. He said he was a member of the royal family of the Qajar Dynasty, but no one has ever seen him before. It is said that once he went to a hot spring with his friends, and his gold necklace floated out of the water. This guy The excuse is that it is the power of God, which is correct, it is God who let him show his flaws." William did know a lot of gossip, and Coubertin was eye-opening.

At this time, the owner of the manor finally walked into the banquet hall, beside him was a tall, but extremely thin young man.

William's eyes lit up visibly when he saw the young man.

"Gentlemen and ladies, let us give a warm welcome to the members of the great Matilda family, grandson of Lord Matilda, nephew of Lord Nyasaland, brother of Lord Cyprus, and brother of Lord Northsea, our honorable Lin Your Excellency Sai Matilda." Earl Sergey was full of enthusiasm, and he introduced Lindsay in a grand manner. The common tongue-licking sound when Russians speak greatly enhanced the appeal of the language.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, including William.

While applauding, William was still whispering to Coubertin: "Lindsay's father is Mrs. Nyasaland's brother. His brother died very early. It is rumored that he has a certain relationship with Lord Nyasaland— —”

William suddenly shut his mouth when he said this, probably because he also realized that it was inappropriate: "—this must be nonsense, how could Lord Nyasaland do such a thing——"

This is also normal, the gossip of big people is what these "remnants" are most passionate about, and they can make conspiracy theories for you even if there is nothing, let alone——

Ah, can't say, can't say.
