Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1702 Awareness

As the first heir to the Marquess of Nyasaland, Gavin's position in southern Africa does not need to be emphasized.

The key is that Gavin has a stable personality, no bad habits, neither smoking nor drinking, and he doesn't have the vices of other noble children's dandies. Everyone likes such an heir.

Prince Albert didn't like it.

In Prince Albert's view, a "good student" like Gavin with excellent grades is like a nerd in school, dull, boring, and unflexible, which makes Prince Albert resist from the bottom of his heart.

Or there are some unspeakable reasons. As the second in line to the British throne, seeing Gavin as the first in line to the heir, I feel very complicated in my heart.

"Your Highness, there is no conflict between improving breeding cattle and managing the territory, Gavin—" Stoudemire's eldest son, Cecil Rhodes III, is Gavin's good friend. The two families are now in-laws, and the children are very sensible.

Old Cecil Rhodes named his son very casually, and Stoudemire named his son more casually. I hope Roya didn't inherit the bad taste of the Rhodes family.

"George, shouldn't you use His Excellency Gavin Locke-oh, sorry, I also made this mistake." Prince Albert has not noticed that he has become the focus of the banquet.

The second heir is also a prince, and he received an elite education since he was a child. It is said that he would not make such a mistake.

Then there is only one reasonable explanation, Albert did it on purpose.

Rock is not angry, he is still a child after all——

Prince Albert was born in 1895 -

Whoa, 31 year old kid!

Stoudemire didn't speak, and looked straight at George V.

Henry smiled, and the hand holding the goblet was slightly exerting force.

Gavin is Henry's eldest nephew, and the two have a good relationship.

Kitchener sighed, status doesn't mean anything, neither does education. In terms of self-cultivation, Albert and Gavin are far behind.

George V's expression froze, Prince Edward was sent back to London for confinement because of the scandal, the second heir was so restless, there is no successor to the Windsor royal family——

"Your Highness, I don't think learning how to manage territories is more important than studying the improvement of breeding cattle. Of course, this may also be the difference between Nyasaland and the British Empire. Nyasaland has highly self-disciplined subjects, and they don't need to be driven around with a whip. They, they will work hard." Gavin sneered, telling a joke, the self-discipline of the British——

Be cold, British jokes are so cold.

"Gavin, the British Empire took 300 years of hard work to bring Britain from the agricultural and animal husbandry age to the industrial age. Do you want Nyasaland to return to the agricultural age?" Prince Albert certainly didn't know what the people meant Food is the sky.

"Your Highness, don't doubt Nyasaland's industrial level—" Henry's son Henry Jr. and Gavin are cousins, and they advance and retreat together.

Coincidentally, Gavin, Little Si, and Little Henry are the first heirs to the Marquis of Nyasaland, the Earl of Rhodesia, and the Viscount Fawalt respectively.

"Oh, of course I don't doubt Nyasaland's industrial level, but what does that have to do with you?" Prince Albert said without hesitation. When he said this, many people showed a slightly mocking look on their faces. smile.

Nyasaland's industry really has little to do with Gavin, Little Si, and Little Henry.

But to put it this way, the British Empire has nothing to do with Prince Albert.

Albert just had a good birth, otherwise he wouldn't have the right to talk nonsense here.

As a prince, this is really out of standard.

"Hehe—" Little Henry sneered.

"Hahahaha——" Xiao Xiaosi laughed and shook his head.

Gavin also shook his head, glanced at George V, turned and left.

Just being a prince is not as interesting as the bovine embryos in the laboratory.

The few heirs here are fiercely verbal, and neither Roque nor George V intends to stop it.

Even the 31-year-old Prince Albert is a child, and the unmarried Gavin, Stoudemire, and Henry are even more children.

When children quarrel, adults cannot interfere. It is healthier to quarrel.

"It's a pity that my Mary has already married Henry, otherwise she could have married Gavin—" George V relieved his embarrassment and made a joke that wasn't funny.

Princess Mary married Henry Russells four years ago, daughter of Henry Russells, [-]th Earl of Harwood, and Orlando Bridgeman, [-]rd Earl of Bradford. Eldest son of Laurence Bridgeman.

Princess Mary was 24 when she married Henry Russells.

And Henry Russells was 39 years old at the time.

This was undoubtedly another royal arranged marriage, and it is said that Henry Lassels proposed to Mary because of a bet he made with his partner in his club.

It is said, it is said, that the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, strongly opposed the marriage.

Princess Mary's eldest son, George Russells, [-]th Earl of Harwood, disputed in his memoirs, claiming: "They got on well with each other and had many friends and common interests."

Different people have different opinions on this, and the truth is actually not difficult to guess.

Rock just smiled, this was just a joke, even if Princess Mary didn't marry Henry Russells, Rock didn't want to marry the royal family.

It's not that Rock discriminates against the royal family, who dares to discriminate against the royal family.

The key is that the age is inappropriate. Princess Mary is eight years older than Gavin.

According to George V's scheduled itinerary, he and Kitchener will leave Pretoria the next day and return to the British mainland.

In the early morning, Kitchina suffered a sudden illness and was sent to the hospital for treatment.

Rock didn't know about it until morning.

"Why didn't you tell me in time?" Rock was very angry, and Rock was very concerned about the health of Kitchener, Ad, and Philip.

Louis blushed and said nothing, he didn't want to interrupt Rock's rest.

Rock didn't even eat breakfast, and went straight to the hospital to visit Kitchina.

"If this happens again, under any circumstances, you must wake me up immediately—" Rock didn't want to be Joffre.

The most criticized point of Joffre during the World War was that he had to sleep until dawn every day. Even if the Germans attacked Paris, the adjutant could not wake up Joffre. As the supreme commander of the French army, this is unacceptable. imagination.

Rock doesn't have these problems, and he has to pay part of his personal rights to be in a high position. If something is delayed because of rest, Rock will regret it for the rest of his life.

Su Xian and several medical experts have consulted on Kitchina's condition at the Bigvene Hospital in Pretoria, and the problem is not serious.

"For a 76-year-old man, Marshal is in good health, which are common diseases of some elderly people, such as osteoporosis, joint pain, and respiratory problems—" Su Xian is Kitchener's personal doctor, He is more familiar with Kitchina's physical condition than Kitchina.

"Then how did it get to the point of being hospitalized?" Roque was worried. In fact, the treatment conditions in the hospital may not be much better than those in the Governor's Mansion.

Su Xian smiled a little awkwardly, and led Rock directly to Kitchener's ward.

In the ward, Kitchina was eating an apple, and he disliked the nurse for peeling the apple, insisting that the nutrition of the apple was in the skin.

"It's all fallacy. According to what you say, you should eat watermelon with the skin." Rock was in a good mood, and he was in a picky mood.

"What do you know! I eat apples, but I like to eat them with the skin?" Kitchina looked like he really wanted to quarrel with Rock.

"Yes, yes, I don't understand—" Rock didn't quarrel, the little nurse peeled Kitchener's apple, and was busy moving chairs for Rock, really busy.

"Thank you—" Roque thanked habitually, and the little nurse burst into laughter immediately. The Prime Minister is so polite.

"You don't look like you're sick—" Rock casually picked up an apple from the plate and tasted it, and it tasted pretty good.

Kitchina rolled his eyes, he didn't even bring any presents when he visited the patient, and even grabbed the patient's apples when he entered the door, which was really rude.

Rock didn't care, he was in a hurry to go out, he didn't even eat breakfast, he ate two apples instead.

"Isn't it good to be sick at this time?" Kitchener smiled slyly.

Rock suddenly realized that this disease is indeed a good one.

Since he was ill, he could not travel long distances and had to stay in Pretoria for treatment.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this. Marshal Haig hasn't arrived in southern Africa yet, so you have to hold a governor handover ceremony before leaving." Rock didn't want Kitchener to leave southern Africa either, so the commander-in-chief of the reserve force didn't have a serious business. Retirement in Southern Africa is good.

"No, no, Locke, you don't understand. If I leave southern Africa this time, I may never come back—" Kitchener knows his own affairs, after all, he is 80 years younger, and he is an octogenarian. , do not want to toss.

"Don't worry, no one can force you—" Rock was completely relieved. When Kitchener accepted the appointment of George V, Rock was very disappointed.

Now Rock is not disappointed. Kitchener accepted George V's appointment out of loyalty to George V.

Choosing to stay in Southern Africa is out of affection for Southern Africa.

"Don't be so happy, I stayed in southern Africa just because I didn't adapt to the winter in London." Kitchener found the most suitable reason for himself.

"Yes, yes, everything you say is right—" Rock laughed.

At this time Louis came in and reported to Rock that George V had come to visit Kitchener.

Before Rock could speak, Kitchener kicked him out.

"Go, go, go, I'm a patient, I need to rest—"

Then Kitchina fell asleep instantly.

When Rock left the ward, a large group of doctors and nurses poured in and began to rescue Kitchina. The machines, tubes, and everything were connected, making it look like Kitchina was terminally ill.

When George V came outside the ward, he saw such a scene.

"The Marshal's situation is very bad—" Rock's expression was serious, and his mouth was full of apple flavor.

George V obviously didn't notice this, and he was puzzled through the glass door, with a mask on his face.

Really enlightened!

ps: Sorry, something was delayed yesterday, I will try to make it up today—if I can’t make it up, then make it up tomorrow, because I have something to do today—
