Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2296 Insidious Locke

Ade did not live in a nursing home, nor did he live in a mansion provided by the federal government. The second lived in an ordinary ward at the end of the west side of the third floor of the Bigwei Hospital.

Ade's material requirements are really not high. When Ade resigned and returned to the UK in the early years, he lived in a rented house. He really had no money to buy it. He didn't want to make money, and he didn't let Sidney Mill engage in any business.

Ader has a rich resume in his life. He has worked as a lawyer, as a newspaper editor, as the chief executive of Egypt, as the chairman of the tax committee, and as the governor and prime minister in southern Africa for nearly 20 years.

If Ade wants to make money, there are plenty of opportunities.

After Adelaide retired, the Federal Government of Southern Africa paid Adelaide a pension of about 15000 rand per year, plus the title income received from the British government, as well as various publishing income, Adelaide’s annual income was [-] rand Special left and right.

After so many years, Ade has not saved a penny. The federal government pays Ade a pension every year, and Ade will donate it to the foundation under Phyllis' name.

The salary given by the British government, Ade will donate to the military service agency to help veterans who are disabled due to injuries.

Income from the publishing house, Ader donated to Johannesburg Medical School to reward the most outstanding students.

The Johannesburg School of Medicine established the Milner Foundation in the name of Ade, extending the scope of scholarships to the entire southern Africa. The Milner Scholarship established by the foundation is second only to the Matilda Scholarship in southern Africa, and Rock Scholarship established in the name of Rock.

The Rhodes Scholarship established by the Rhodes family is mainly used to award international students. This is for special purposes, and its influence is actually not high. Only students who are eligible for the Rhodes Scholarship will enter the vision of the Rhodes Scholarship scope.

As early as 20 years ago, Ade wrote a suicide note early. After his death, he will donate all his remaining property to the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

Adelaide also has requirements for the federal government. His funeral is not allowed to be grandiose, nor is he allowed to set up a monument in his name. The city of Milna is a special example. Ke was able to choose the most inconspicuous place to bury him in the national cemetery, and the tombstone said: A veteran is buried here.

Southern Africa is lucky to have such a governor and prime minister.

To Rock's relief, the southern Africans have not forgotten this old man who dedicated his life to southern Africa.

When Rock came to Bigwig Hospital, the streets outside Bigwig Hospital were crowded with people praying for Adrian. The iron railings of the hospital were covered with various garlands, and various warm blessings were written on colorful colored paper. , Many people held homemade cardboards, and the most frequent sentence was: God bless, I hope you get better soon!

The main gate of Bigwig Hospital was crowded with journalists who came to interview, and the camera tripods were densely packed. Many of them had gathered at the gate of Bigwig Hospital for more than a month, just to get first-hand news as soon as possible.

Rock's car is well known to everyone. It is Army One specially customized for Rock by Nyasaran Heavy Industries. This is a car with a defense capability comparable to that of an armored car. The body has been specially reinforced, and protective steel plates are installed on the doors. The tires are also run-proof, and the latest air-conditioning system is also installed in the car.

Army One entered the hospital under the protection of the security personnel of the Secret Service and parked directly in the underground parking lot. Su Wei, the director of the hospital, was waiting in the underground parking lot early on. He is Su Xian's eldest son and is also the chief expert of the Ministry of Health in Southern Africa. .

Su Xian's three sons and two daughters all work in the health system in Southern Africa. Su Xian himself has long since retired as the Chief Consultant of the Ministry of Health in Southern Africa. He lives in Pretoria all year round and serves as Adelaide's health doctor The time is as long as 30 years.

"How's the situation?" Rock asked as he walked to understand the situation.

"It's very bad. Lord Milner is now in a deep coma, and his heartbeat may stop at any time." Su Wei looked sad. He and the doctors at the Bigwig Hospital had tried their best, but they still couldn't stop Ade's health from deteriorating.

This is not to blame for Su Wei, Ade, who was born in 1854, is now 88 years old, referring to the standard life expectancy nowadays.

In another time and space, Adelaide was left idle after the outgoing governor returned to the UK, and died in depression in 1925.

The appearance of Rock changed the fate of many people. Ade in another time and space lived 71 years, and this time and space extended his life span by 17 years. It can be seen that mood is still very important to health.

Like Alder, another Rock influence was Kitchener.

In another time and space, Kitchener was attacked by a German submarine while traveling on a cruiser to Russia during World War I. Kitchener died with the ship.

Kitchina is now 92 years old, and his health is still very good. He can eat half a catty of meat for a meal, and he may live to be a hundred years old.

Kitchener is now in Su Wei's ward, and Su Xian is with him. Kitchener just got angry with Su Wei and asked Su Wei to save Ade's life no matter what.

"God, what happened - Gavin, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so old?" When Kitchener saw Roque, he mistook Roque for Gavin.

Like Ade, Kitchener has never been married and naturally has no children.

Ad also has his nephew Sidney Milner, and Kitchener doesn't even have a child, so every time Gavin and Alvin return to Pretoria, they will visit Kitchener and take Kitchener Respect as an elder.

"Marshal, have you become so old and dizzy?" Rock didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was in good health. He still had abdominal muscles in his 60s, and he didn't have many wrinkles on his face, but he had a lot more white hair. , but because of this, the hair turned into a more attractive gray-white.

"Oh, it turned out to be insidious Locke, you came just in time, you are the Prime Minister of Southern Africa, you come to tell Su Wei boy, if he can't restore Alfred to health, you will kick him to the front line to serve. "Kitchina's temper is still fiery. I don't know when Rock has become "insidious Locke" in Kitchener's mouth.

This has a lot to do with Rock's style of doing things.

Rock, or most southern Africans, don't do things as ostentatiously as Americans.

Americans have a big guy in their pocket, and they wish they could blow it up to a hundred, and let the whole world know that he is rich.

Southern Africans are very low-key. The old man who wears a T-shirt, big pants and slippers on the street, holds a pipe in his mouth, and walks his dog with a South African mastiff may be a millionaire whose family owns thousands of acres of farms.

Young people who have just graduated, live in a single apartment, usually squeeze the tram to and from get off work, cook for themselves in order to save money, and live in a very difficult life.

Many of them are not without money. If they want to buy a house in a big city like Pretoria or Los Angeles, it is easy to just talk to their family.

But they will not do that, at least they will not buy a house immediately after graduation. They have a clearer pursuit and know what they want.

In the big cities in southern Africa, housing prices are very polarized. In rich areas with beautiful scenery, housing prices are sky-high, but that is not for ordinary people. The housing prices in communities prepared for ordinary people are not outrageous. It is not difficult for young people who have just graduated.

Today’s southern Africa has passed the primitive stage of capital accumulation. Local governments in southern Africa do not rely on selling land to make money, but rely more on taxation. Among them, the highest proportion of luxury tax and inheritance tax is collected. Of course, there is also property tax, but the first house There is no tax, so property tax has little to do with ordinary people, only for rich people like Rock and Stoudemire.

Income redistribution in Southern Africa is also doing well. The government encourages private investment in public projects with tax incentives and other policies. After a period of operation by private enterprises, the federal government will take back the projects, so that private enterprises have made profits and the people feel the development. The federal government meets the needs of the whole society without spending a penny.

In addition to ensuring the operation of government agencies, the income of federal governments at all levels is used to protect the welfare of the people, especially education and medical care, which are the most concerned by the people. Southern Africa has the most advanced public education system and medical care in the world.

That's why Roque agreed with Ade to receive treatment at Bigwig Hospital, because Bigwig Hospital's medical level is not low, and there are sanatoriums in southern Africa, which are only open to veterans who have been disabled due to injuries.

Southern Africa is not high-profile, but its industrial capacity has gradually surpassed that of the United Kingdom. Now it has become the nanny of the entire allies, and even the high-profile Americans are far behind.

So in the eyes of many Europeans, Roque is indeed a bit insidious.

But only Kitchener dared to say so in person.

"Kick him to the front line, then he can enjoy the glory of a soldier." Rock said along the meaning of Kitchina.

"That's right, that's right, you can't take him so cheaply." Su Xian laughed loudly at the side, Su Wei leaned against the door frame with a gloomy expression on his face, without saying a word, he couldn't afford to offend anyone in this room.

"That's right, I almost forgot, then kick him to London and let him be with the most hated person in the world." Kitchener is now completely a southern African, looking down on the British Empire .

The British Empire was once the pride of Kitchener. Kitchener has worked for the British Empire all his life. It can be said that he has witnessed how the British Empire went from "the sun never sets" to where it is today.

As much as he loved, he hated deeply. As much as Kitchener once loved the British Empire, he now despises the British Empire.

"Let's talk first, I'm going to see Lord Milner." Rock reassured Kitchener before going to see Ade, and the old child had to be coaxed.

Sidney Milner sat on the chair at the door of the ward, with his head deeply buried in his knees, his hands covering his face, and his grief was uncontrollable.

"Cheer up Sidney, it's not time to grieve yet." Rock was very angry, he was still alive, and wanted to cry when he got home and cried in the dead of night.

"I'm sorry my lord, I'm in a bad mood—" Sidney Milner's eyes were red, and he knew that Ade was exhausted.

Rock went directly to the ward. No amount of consolation would be meaningful to the current Sidney Milner. Farewell is a part of life, and everyone has to go through it.

The atmosphere in the ward was equally dignified. Ade was lying on the hospital bed with tubes of various instruments inserted into his body. Sidney Milner's wife Diana also had red eyes.

Diana was Sidney Milner's second wife and formerly Sidney Milner's assistant.

Seeing Roque come in, Diana moved a chair and placed it beside Ade.

Rock nodded his thanks to Diana, and sat on the chair quietly watching Ade, who was already skinny, feeling inexplicably calm.

It's not that Roque is ruthless, but that at Roque's age, there is nothing to dislike.

Everyone has to die. Almost every year in these years, brothers who fought together in the Cape Town Police Station will die together. Brothers Luo Yi, Li De, and Gao De Gordon. Anton has also been sick in recent years. Rock himself I am also 60 years old now, and I have long been used to seeing life and death.

Adelaide had a wonderful life. He was born in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, Germany, and has been working in the British colony since he was an adult. To put it bluntly, Adelaide is the founder of Southern Africa. If Adelaide had not actively fought for it, Southern Africa Maybe it's still a British colony.

After retiring, Adelaide was not idle. He wrote several books, "Nation and Empire", "Britain and Egypt", "Imminent Matters", etc. Adelaide's greatest ideal is that southern Africa is thriving and replaces the decayed and backward old continent. country and become the leader of the world.

What makes Rock really sad is that it is already the eve of dawn, but Ade is about to die.

"Have you woken up in the past few days?" As the prime minister, Roque must be very busy with work, but he turned down all his work today and decided to spend a good day with Ade in the ward.

Even if Ade has been in a coma like this, Rock will not leave.

"No, I've been in a coma since a week ago, and I only woke up twice in the middle, and my life is maintained by nutrition needles." Diana just opened her mouth, tears streaming down again.

"Go and see Sidney, and call Su Wei." Rock hoped to get some time to be alone with Ade.

Diana left quietly.

"My old friend, I should have come to see you sooner—" Rock still couldn't help the red eyes, this farewell is forever, and no one will remind Rock "you have to calm down".

Now Roque's influence on southern Africa has reached an incomparable level. Even if Roque said that the earth is flat, there will be scientists in southern Africa to revise textbooks. trust has reached the level of superstition.

So under such circumstances, how could anyone dare to ask Rock to "calm down", only the old and dim-eyed Kitchener is qualified to be "insidious Locke" all day long.
