Chapter 1812

On Sloane Street in Chelsea, London, there is the Holy Trinity Church, which was built in 1825, and the famous Cadogan Concert Hall. The Southern African Embassy in the UK is diagonally opposite the Cadogan Concert Hall. This is a large building. The southern African-style building decorated with glass and marble, its overhanging arches with oriental characteristics, and the archway-style gate with arcade structure have become one of the most distinctive buildings on Sloane Street.

The embassy in the UK is the largest embassy in southern Africa. The embassy covers an area of ​​about 4.5 hectares, with a construction area of ​​about 15 square meters. There are three office buildings with underground parking lots, two independent gardens on the ground, and 140 staff members. , which included a squadron of Marines.

Unlike the uniforms of the National Defense Forces, the uniforms of the Southern African Marine Corps are rust camouflage, which is the combination of gray, dark red, and black.

Don't doubt it, in 1930 it would cost much more to dye fabrics in this color than pure colors, why don't lobster soldiers use red anymore, they can't afford it anymore.

In the past, London citizens liked to stroll in the mottled afterglow of Sloane Street at sunset, listen to the magnificent voice of Holy Trinity Church, and the melodious music of Cadogan Concert Hall. The changing of the guard is the best way to relax after a busy day at work.

The changing of the guard at the embassy is very ceremonial. Although there is no iconic bearskin hat of the Royal Guard, the texture of the silver Lee Enfield rifle and the powerful movements of the guards are enough to make up for this regret, and the South African military police often carry it. Mastiffs are different. The most common military dogs in the embassy are a bulldog and a King Charles spaniel. Strictly speaking, these two are not military dogs at all, especially the King Charles spaniel named William. The star of the entire embassy.

Every time serious guards lead the lively and lovely little William to the gate of the embassy, ​​they will immediately get cheers from the onlookers.

At this time, Little William was very happy. He would bouncing up and down to interact with the onlookers, and because of the restriction of the leash, he would make similar complaints to the helpless guards.

This kind of cute creature has effectively narrowed the distance between the guards and the people, and the cold bayonets don't look so dazzling.

This heartwarming scene has not existed since Southern Africa seceded from the Commonwealth.

On the second day after southern Africa seceded from the Commonwealth, young and energetic youths protested in front of the embassy. He also threw stones at the trembling William. Since that day, the embassy has closed the gate and installed explosion-proof glass outside the sentry box. The sterling silver Lee Enfield in the hands of the guards has also been replaced by a semi-automatic rifle with a bayonet.

The closing of the gate does not mean the suspension of business. People in need can enter the embassy through the side gate.

At this time, they will be insulted and harassed by the protesters across the street. Some even fight with each other, and the normal business of the embassy will be greatly affected.

"We have to change this situation, and the business of the embassy cannot be affected—" As an ambassador, François had to do something.

"Give me an order, those chicks, I'll lead a squad, and I only need one charge to tear them all to shreds!" Major Ivan Vasily of the Marine Corps is a Cossack, with his iconic beard and door panels With the same strong figure, the violence and bravery of the Cossacks are everywhere displayed.

"Strategy, Ivan, you have to be strategic, you can't be so rude—" Second Secretary Chen Ming graduated from the Nyasaland Diplomatic Academy. He is proficient in four languages ​​and is good at intelligence analysis. He is also the intelligence director of Brad's office in London.

"Why don't we seal this street, this half of the street is the Lord's private property—" Song Kang, the military attache of the embassy, ​​was not afraid of exposing Roque's financial resources. Buying real estate at the bottom, this half street was bought at that time.

"I think you're crazy!" Francois disagreed, and blocked the road at every turn. Is it reasonable? George V is not so grand when he is on tour.

"Ivan, do you have any friends in that area?" Chen Ming took another approach.

"Which aspect?" Ivan was at a loss, let him fight with one enemy and one hundred, let him play with his mind.

Look at his size, he doesn't look like a man with a heart.

"I give you so much money every month, where do you spend it?" Chen Ming is responsible for collecting information, and the monthly money is quite a lot.

"Eating, drinking, watching, listening to concerts——" Ivan looked simple.

Chen Ming, Song Kang, and Francois all rolled their eyes, and it’s okay to glance at them, and they’re listening to the concert——

He looks like a bear, and he might fall asleep when he listens to music.

"Find a few bald heads you are familiar with, and let the bald heads deal with these guys—" Chen Ming gave up communicating and simply played the piano to the cow.

British bald!

This is also a group with a rich cultural history, with a reputation somewhere between the Italian mafia and the American hippies.

To collect information, the target must be from the top three religions. Chen Ming and Francois are good at dancing in the high society. Ivan also has Ivan's usefulness. When dealing with certain special groups, Chen Ming and Francois are really inferior ivan.

"No problem, I'll go now—" Ivan chuckled, and William, who was sleeping on the rug by the fireplace by the wall, was taken aback.

It’s summer now, the fireplace is not lit, probably because the temperature in the room is a bit low, William got up and turned around, sneaked along the wall to the balcony, found a sunny corner and curled up to sleep, Soon fell asleep on all fours.

There is nothing ladylike about this pose.

women!

"Remember to change your clothes—" Song Kang didn't forget to remind Ivan not to leave anything behind.

"Understood!" Ivan just looked stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be promoted to major.

Opposite the embassy, ​​dozens of young people have been protesting here for more than a month.

From the very beginning when no one cared about them, then slowly people began to deliver food to them, and now they can already receive their salaries, so things cannot be seen on the surface. If there is no support, they will not be able to persist until now.

Every day you only need to shout slogans and make trouble, and someone will give you money. This kind of life is simply too comfortable. However, Stuart, who lives in a slum in the eastern suburbs of London these two days, is very dissatisfied. It's almost doubled.

"Think about it, we travel from the eastern suburbs to Sloane Street every day. It costs six pence to take the bus one way, and one shilling for two trips. We have to work hard every day—" Stuart wanted to save up to one pound as soon as possible, so that It was easy to get a kiss with the lady whom he had long admired, based on five shillings a day, but Stuart would go to the bar to drink after work every day, and sometimes he would have a small gamble to enjoy himself, so Mr. Qian It's not enough.

"You still work hard every day? Hahahaha——" Charlie, who also came from the eastern suburbs, laughed, and several companions beside him immediately laughed too.

These are unemployed young people who lack fun in their lives, so sometimes a not-so-funny joke can brighten up their day.

"Our salary is indeed a bit lower, after all, we may be retaliated by the southern Africans—" Frank from the Southern District calmed down. He lost an eye in the World War, and the pension from the British government It's not even enough to fill my stomach. Because of my physical defects, I can't find other jobs, so I can only make a living here.

Because he had participated in the world war, Frank was always worried. Of all the people present, he knew the revenge of southern Africans best.

This concern is not limited to Frank.

So as soon as Frank's words fell, the companions who were happy just now fell silent.

"Don't worry, this is London, and Mr. David will never allow that to happen." Charlie had confidence in David, who was the guy who came every evening to pay his salary.

Charlie didn't know where David was from, but he was a big spender, so Charlie didn't care who David worked for.

For the so-called "poor people" like Charlie, they have tried their best to live, and there is no choice.

As soon as Charlie's words fell, a group of guys who looked very difficult to mess with approached menacingly in the distance.

After seeing the leader clearly, Charlie shrank his neck subconsciously.

The leader is a middle-aged strong man in his 40s. He is also a veteran of the World War. After the end of the World War, he made a fortune in building materials. He is a well-known godfather figure in the eastern suburbs of London.

But does Charlie have David's backing now, so Charlie bravely went forward.

"Daniel, what are you doing here?" After all, Charlie had dozens of brothers around him, which gave him the illusion that he was qualified to talk to Daniel.

Daniel remained silent with a sullen face. He was wearing a bright dress, holding a civilized stick in his hand, and a silk top hat on his head. There was an obvious scar on his face, which was left in a street fire.

Charlie suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Although there were dozens of brothers around him, Charlie didn't feel safe at all.

"Daniel, what do you want?" Charlie already felt the danger.

"What are you doing? Hehehe——" Daniel grinned grimly. Before Charlie could react, Daniel suddenly took out a shiny pistol from his pocket and put it on Charlie's forehead.

Then Daniel laughed loudly: "Brothers, kill these bastards, this land belongs to us now—"

The dozens of younger brothers who followed Daniel went berserk in an instant. They took out all kinds of short sticks and machetes from their arms, and rushed towards the panicked young people.

The young people have never seen such a battle before, they shouted and fled in all directions, they were really a mob.

ps: Brother whose monthly pass is about to expire, hand over your monthly pass——
