Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2140 Children's Bicycle

All the berths at St. Roch's Wharf have been used, and the panicked people boarded the ship under the guidance of the sailors of the St. Roch's Squadron.

Each boarder is only allowed to carry a three-day special attack backpack with a weight of no more than 10 kg.

Backpacks were sold at the pier, five rand each, much more expensive than usual, but no one questioned them at this time.

The French are still very rich, and most of those who have the ability to come to Saint Rocco at this time are rich.

Ten kilograms, for many people, it is not enough to fill them all with gold, so the exchange point at the pier is crowded with people.

Gold is too heavy.

Gold can be exchanged for rand, which weighs a lot less.

After the Great Depression, the ratio of rand to gold has remained stable at around one rand per gram of gold.

Now it has soared to one rand for 2.5 grams of gold, which still makes many people grateful.

Oliver from Port Elizabeth has handled an untold amount of gold these days.

There are too many people exchanging gold. At the beginning, the exchange was done at the Rand Bank. Later, there were too many people exchanging, and the location was changed to the service hall of the Port Authority Building. Later, the exchange point was directly set up on the square in front of the Port Authority Building. Two armored vehicles are responsible for sending the exchanged gold to the supply ship "Drakens"——

No, it should be called the "Drakens" aircraft carrier now.

Since Germany broke through the Ardennes Forest, more than 380 tons of gold have been sent to the "Drakens".

Now you know how rich the French are, it's only been less than half a month.

It is said that nearly 2500 tons of gold are still stored in France's underground vault in Paris.

The gold is not only the property of the French government, but also the gold temporarily stored in France by Poland, Belgium and other countries.

For these gold, the French should have a headache.

The headache is how to transport all the gold away before the German army occupied Paris.

"It's 12.5 kilograms in total. Let me figure out how many grams—" Oliver's mathematics is not very good, and he had to use a pen to write out the formula. The bloody rich businessman couldn't bear it.

"A total of 12500 grams, according to the current ratio, can be exchanged for 5000 rand." Such a simple conversion, the rich businessman opened his mouth and came.

Oliver didn't look up, and calculated carefully.

You can’t say as much as you want. If you make a mistake, who will pay?
The rich businessman with the Mediterranean haircut is really heartbroken.

Gou Ri's umbrella is only exchanged for gold. If it is gold jewelry inlaid with gems, not only the gems are not counted, but the scales have to be removed. You are really not human.

Now think about it, the shitty De Beers company is even more cheating. When they sell diamonds, they advertise that diamonds are forever, and one will last forever. But when it comes to the umbrella, it is not even as good as a stone. The diamonds bought by hundreds or thousands are buckled. If you can't deduct it, how happy you were when you bought the diamond, how uncomfortable it is now.

"You are right, you are really good at math, no wonder you can make so much money—" Oliver counted twice, and it was indeed 5000.
The wealthy businessman watched as Oliver dumped 12.5 kilograms, mixed with gold nuggets and jewellery, into a box behind him.

The chest was almost full, with gold bars large and small, all kinds of fine ornaments, ornaments of all kinds made of gold, tableware, candlesticks--there was so much to see.

The second lieutenant of the navy next to him noticed that the box was full, so he locked the box and sealed it again. Two burly men took a deep breath, lifted the box tremblingly, and put it on the trolley next to it.

The trolley was sent to the waiting armored vehicle. There were already more than a dozen boxes on the armored vehicle. The chassis was almost pressed against the tires, and the tires were half-flat.

"Okay, let's go!"

The armored vehicle let out a heavy roar, and the exhaust pipe emitted a large amount of black smoke, panting heavily, and drove towards the pier.

The ship waiting at the pier has been replaced by the heavy cruiser "Saint Rocco". The "Drakens" can actually be loaded, but the eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

The wealthy businessman watched the armored vehicle leave, and his eyes couldn't help turning red.

The accumulation of several generations, let alone dissipated once, will also seriously damage the vitality.

At this time, there was a sudden angry sound from the side.

"This is gold-plated, you are so poor and crazy!"

The wealthy businessman followed the voice and saw that an officer of the San Roque Squadron was angrily scolding a Frenchman.

"Sir, I don't know either, this is left to me by my grandfather—" The guy who was exposed was still quibbling.

The second lieutenant didn't talk nonsense, he raised his hand to beckon, and immediately two mercenaries from the umbrella company came over and directly took away the guy who was trying to fish in troubled waters.

The bitterness in the rich businessman's heart was immediately reduced a lot.

This guy is going to be unlucky, not only will he lose his boarding qualification, but he will also be kicked out of San Roque, and what awaits him will be a tragic fate.

Southern Africa has not yet joined the war, and the Germans should not attack St. Rocco. If they stay in St. Rocco, they can at least temporarily obtain the asylum of St. Rocco.

People are like that.

When you're sad about not having shoes, you'll feel better if there's someone next to you who doesn't even have feet.

When the whole box of gold was loaded onto the heavy cruiser "Saint Rocco", on the berth next to the heavy cruiser "Saint Rocco", the last batch of southern Africans stranded in San Locco were lining up to board the ship from the Walvis Bay Ocean Shipping Company. Cruise ship "Herero".

Note that it is a cruise ship, not a cruise ship.

In terms of comfort alone, the comfort of a cruise ship is definitely far greater than that of a cruise ship.

The "cruise ship" is designed purely for fun, with large rooms and good facilities, first-class service attitude, and rich entertainment facilities. Traveling on a cruise ship is similar to traveling.

The cruise ship is almost the same. You can tell from the name that the cruise ship is a mixture of passengers and cargo, so the comfort level is naturally greatly reduced.

Next to the "Herrero" is the "Moby Dick" cruise ship from the Whale Bay Company. French and Belgians who wish to leave France can board the "Moby Dick" after paying a fee of 150 rand. France.

150 rand is just the cost from St. Roch to Dover, England. If you want to go to southern Africa, you have to buy another ticket.

The southern Africans who left San Roque on the "Herrero" were all paid by the Southern African Federal Government, and they sailed directly to Walvis Bay.

This makes many people dissatisfied.

We paid, and it was much higher than usual, to take a cruise to Dover.

So many southern Africans can go directly from St. Roch to Walvis Bay without spending a penny. Why?
Louis from Paris posed this question to the orderly sailors.

"Why? Because they are southern Africans!" The sailor's answer made Louis even more dissatisfied.

Those who boarded the Herero, with their bags and bags with them, were clearly not limited by size and weight.

Some people go too far, carrying not only big bags and small bags, but also other things. Louis noticed that a southern African man was actually carrying a children's bicycle when he was walking up the gangway.

Even children's bicycles can leave San Roque on the Herero.

Louis was even more jealous of his doting father and the ignorant little girl bouncing around in a white dress.

For the French, leaving Saint-Roch was a refuge.

For Southern Africans, leaving San Roque is a spring outing.

"I can pay more, as much as you want, can you put me and my family on that ship?" Louis was wealthy, and his three-day special attack backpack was full of rand and expensive jewelry.

The French are not stupid. At the same value, gold is definitely heavier than rand. Jewelry is different, and its added value is very high.

Like Britain, France has also colonized the world for hundreds of years. For any Frenchman, most of his ancestors participated in overseas colonization, and his family background is not known.

"Sorry, only southern Africans are eligible to board the 'Herero'." The sailor explained seriously, this is indeed unfair to the French, but when has this world been fair?

When the French conquered the aborigines in overseas colonies with the Bible and a sharp sword in hand, is it fair to the aborigines in those overseas colonies?
When France was victorious and won Annan at the negotiating table, and thus was able to form the French Indochina Federation, was it fair to the Annans?
Was it fair to the Czechoslovaks and Poles when the French stayed behind the fortified Maginot Line and watched Germany annex Czechoslovakia and Poland?
Now to be fair-

Why did you go early!
"I can give you money, a lot of money—" Louis took out a stack of rand, and waved it wildly in front of the sailor, looking crazy.

Snapped!
The sailor suddenly slapped Louis on the hand.

Rand suddenly flew all over the sky.

"Pay attention to your behavior, sir, if you continue like this, I will disqualify you from boarding the ship—" the sailor snapped, the bayonet on the Nyasaran rifle in his hand reflected a faint cold light.

Louis froze for a moment, his first reaction was not to justify, but to pick up money everywhere.

Still wailing in his mouth: "This money is all mine, it's all mine, and if you pick it up from me, you have to return it to me—"

No one picked it up.

No matter who had already boarded the ship or those who were boarding the ship, they all looked at the scene in front of them with numb expressions.

Louis was a banker in Paris before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to spend so much money casually.

Bankers are undoubtedly members of high society in France, but now facing the threat of war, their treatment is still worse than that of ordinary people in southern Africa.

Who can blame——

Blame unreasonable sailors?

The sailors are southern African sailors, and they have no obligation to protect the French.

Blame the Federal Government of Southern Africa?
The Federal Government of Southern Africa also has no obligation to protect the French. In this situation, it is already very good that the Federal Government of Southern Africa is willing to lend a helping hand to ordinary French people. Look at the British government and then the French government. I can’t blame it The Federal Government of Southern Africa treats it differently.

Then we can only blame the inaction of the French government.

But this is not a day or two. The French government has always been like this, and the key is that the French president is elected by the French one by one vote. Therefore, if someone is really to be responsible for the current situation in France, then the French need to be collectively responsible for it .
