Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2395 Take what you need
Gasberg stayed up until midnight last night, writing down all the things he wanted to explain after meeting Rock, and also made key notes, and wrote a passionate explanation, hoping to impress Rock.

Sadly, it was only after getting into the car that Gasbery realized that he hadn't brought the manuscript he had carefully prepared last night.

It was the staff of the Palace of Justice who drove the car. Gasberry didn't have the nerve to ask to return to the embassy, ​​so he could only try his best to remember, hoping that he would not forget too thoroughly.

Naturally, he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way. The special car soon arrived at the Palace of Justice, and Gasberry underwent a security check at the entrance, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Although Gasberg is not considered a clergyman, as the director of the Vatican Library, Gasberg does not need to undergo a security check even if he goes to the Italian Royal Palace.

Whether you are unhappy or not, Gasberg did not complain, let alone refuse. This is not a security facility for Gasberg alone. Since everyone is treated equally, there is nothing to complain about.

Soon Gasbery came to Rock's office, and the staff brought a cup of tea to Gasbery, and politely reminded: "My lord only rested for three hours today, please don't take up too much of your lord's time."

Although it is said that people sleep less when they are old, it is too much to only sleep for three hours a day.

It was only then that Gasberry realized that the prosperity of southern Africa has little to do with this land, but the people who live in this land.

Southern Africa is not just rich today. From the earliest Zulus, to the later Dutch, and then to the British, southern Africa has always been just a transit point for Eurasian trade. Until the opening of the Suez Canal, Cape Town’s status gradually declined. This led to the subsequent self-government.

I don’t know when the name Southern Africa appeared in the newspapers more and more frequently. From the expeditionary force during World War I to the Allied commander in World War II, Southern Africa almost supported the Allied forces on its own. Against the Axis group.

Gasberry was wandering, and the door of Rock's office suddenly opened.

"Mr. Gasberry, please come with me—" the secretary came over to guide, and Gasberry's mind suddenly went blank.

What was I writing last night?

Have you written it?
Could it be written in a dream——

Gasberry sank into deep self-doubt.

Rock just sent away the Russian ambassador to southern Africa, Andrei Vorontsevich. Andrei came to Rock to get more aid.

In November, winter came as promised, and Russia's advantage became more and more obvious.

In August, Russia launched the Lower Dnieper Offensive, concentrating 263 million people to launch a fierce attack on the German Army Group Center.

The German army has a strength of about 124 million, with 12600 artillery and mortars, 2100 tanks and assault artillery, and 2100 combat aircraft.

Russia used a total of more than 51200 artillery and mortars, more than 2400 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and 2850 combat aircraft. Russia has an advantage in terms of military strength and weaponry.

The battle is still going on. The focus of the two sides' competition is the landing field on the right bank of the Dnieper River. Russia's goal is to regain Kiev. The Germans are desperately resisting, but they are retreating because of their inferior strength.

This is the first time since the start of the war that Russia has a clear advantage on the battlefield.

Even before the Russian counterattack, most of them ended in disastrous defeat.

Andrei hoped that Southern Africa would give Russia more support.

Roque spoke highly of the key role of the Russian battlefield in defeating the Axis group, and promised to give Russia more assistance.

When Andre left Roque's office, the secretary was guiding Gasberg to Roque's office.

Gasbery was Italian, and Andre frowned and stared at Gasbery's back for a long time before turning away.

Gasberg didn't notice Andre, his attention was on Rock.

In 1943, Roque was over sixty years old, his body looked thinner than when he was young, his hair turned gray with gray hair and white hair, he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and was signing a document .

Gray hair is not a sign of old age, but a sign of fashion.

This spring, in the new spring clothes launched by Eternal, the hair of the male models is basically processed into a flowery white color similar to Rock, which looks more mature, calmer and more masculine.

"Mr. Curator, welcome to Southern Africa—" Rock took the initiative to stand up. No one in Southern Africa is more qualified to say that than Rock.

"Honorable Lord Nyasaland—" Gasbery's mind went blank, and he forgot all about last night's draft.

This is how ordinary people should behave when they see someone of Rock's level.

In some literary works, when ordinary people see important people, they can easily criticize the current situation with eloquence, and even carry guns with sticks, which is basically impossible in reality.

Momentum is an illusory thing, invisible and intangible but real. No one dares to intervene when a big man speaks, even dare to cough. Ordinary people can only listen, and they still carry guns and sticks. Is it too long?

Although Rock was smiling, Gasberry didn't dare to breathe, and he only dared to sit on a chair with a third of his buttocks, fearful and fearful.

"If you have a chance, you must go to the National Library of Southern Africa. It is in Pretoria. Look at the library in Southern Africa. How is it different from the library in the Vatican? I hope you can visit it in Pretoria. Ya live a happy life, there is a dinner party in the Palace of Justice tomorrow, if you have time, I hope you can come—" Rock's time was tight, and Gasberry was not given time to adapt, but there was still a chance.

"Of course, I will definitely come tomorrow. I will go to the library in a while. I have some private collections from the East. If you don't mind, I want to donate to the National Library of Southern Africa, because no one in the Vatican knows Chinese—— "Gasberg finally found an entry point, in his position, there are many opportunities to touch these things.

"That's great, Jim probably needs to prepare a medal for you—" Rock smiled, and gave Gavin a look next to him.

Jim is Director of the National Library of Southern Africa and a Professor at Nyasaland University.

"Jim will definitely, Mr. Gasberry, please come with me—" Gavin guided Gasberry out of Rock's office.

Gasberry didn't realize until after he left the office that he wasted this precious opportunity, as if saying nothing.

"Damn it!" Gasberry regretted it too much, even if he was rejected, it was better than saying nothing.

"Mr. Gasberry, please come in—" Gavin did not take Gasberry away, but went to another office.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Gavin Locke—" Gavin offered to make tea for Gasberry.

As soon as Gasberry sat down, he stood up again immediately: "Oh oh oh, honorable Gavin—"

"Just call me Gavin. The title system has been abolished in Southern Africa. We are the same, and we are all civilians now." Gavin doesn't care. The Vatican's hierarchy is still deeply rooted, and it is more persistent than a secular country.

"Okay, honorable Lord Gavin—" Gasbery was in a state of confusion. He had known members of Rock's family before, and knew that Gavin was Rock's eldest son.

Although Southern Africa has abolished the title system, everyone knows that Gavin is Rock's first successor to power in Nyasaland.

Not to mention other states, in Nyasaland, if the candidate for governor does not have the consent of the Locke family, he will not even pass the first round of elections.

With Roque's reputation in southern Africa, after Roque leaves office, Gavin has a great chance to succeed Roque as the Prime Minister of Southern Africa.

This is not a hereditary succession, but in the current southern Africa, no one can stand against the strength of the Locke family, not even a comparable candidate. After Rock leaves office, who can compete with Gavin?

"Mr. Gasberry, please forgive me, Southern Africa can give you everything you want, but what can Southern Africa get? Whether it can match our efforts is the key to the problem." Gavin does not waste Time, if Gavin is not satisfied with the reward given by Gasberry, Gavin can choose someone else.

"Your Excellency Gavin, if Southern Africa gives the Catholic Democrats the necessary support, then I can guarantee that in the future Southern Africa will have an ally in the Mediterranean that will never betray, that Italy will never be an evil country, and that we will never again Participate in any war, and embrace peace wholeheartedly—" Gasbery finally came to his senses, and his words were originally intended to persuade Rock.

"I understand what you said, but how to achieve it?" Gavin didn't shout slogans. After the end of the last world war, Italy also claimed to embrace peace, but turned around and fell into the embrace of the mustache.

"We can give up the army—"

"So what are you going to do when Italy faces invasion?"

"Southern Africa should be the protector of peace in the Mediterranean, you have the strength."

"Southern Africa wants more to be a custodian of peace."

Gavin's attitude is tough, Italy can give up the army, but southern Africa cannot.

Since one wants to become a supervisor of peace, one must maintain strength, and a garrison must be there.

This kind of negotiation cannot be concluded in a day or two, and Gavin's time is also precious, and it is impossible to waste a whole day on Gasberry.

After leaving the Palace of Justice, Gasberry directed the driver to the National Library of Southern Africa.

The National Library is located between the old town and the new town of Pretoria. It looks like a huge open book. Jim, who was notified, was already waiting at the entrance of the library. He welcomed Gasberry very much.

"Mr. Director, welcome to the National Library of Southern Africa." Jim is a Catholic and has a special enthusiasm for Gasberry, the director of the Vatican Library.

"Mr. Jim, it's a pleasure to meet you. Look at the place where you work. It's so magnificent and large-scale. It must be a great feeling to work here—" Facing his peers, Gasberry gushed endlessly.

"It's really good. This is an ocean of books and knowledge. There are only two places that can make me feel awe. One is the library and the other is the church." Walking in the restaurant, the moment they entered the door, both of them stopped talking, and at the same time lightened their steps.

Really should be in awe.

In a library covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square meters, almost no voices can be heard.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see that the reading room next to it is almost full, and most of them are young people. Many people take notes while reading, and carry water glasses and food with them. If the library allows sleeping bags, I believe many people will live here directly.

"The learning atmosphere in southern Africa is very strong. The first thing the lord did after he came to Johannesburg was to establish Bigwig Public School, and then built the first library in Bigwig City. Now there are thousands of them in southern Africa. The library has a collection of hundreds of millions of books. When you come to a small town, the most magnificent building in the town is not the town government, nor the mansion of the richest man, but the school library. As for the private libraries in southern Africa, there are more than one hundred libraries donated by the lord." Jim explained softly, his voice full of pride.

Gasberg had a complicated expression. Thinking about the idle and lazy young people in Italy, and looking at these young people who were studying hard, Gasberg suddenly felt very ashamed.

The clergy themselves have educational responsibilities. Many famous universities in Europe were schools founded by the church in the early days. Now many schools still teach theology. This is also the task of the Vatican.

As the director of the library, Gasberry has a greater responsibility in this regard, but he has never paid attention to it, and is obsessed with the management of the library.

In fact, what is the management of the library in the Vatican? There are really few people who borrow books, and the library often becomes a more hidden place for communication.

In the context of the war, the church was closely monitored.

On the contrary, the library did not receive much attention, and this is the story that happened later.

"I have some private books—" Gasberry offered.

"Is it about religion?" Jim is still picking and choosing, not all the so-called orphans are valuable, and some are even counterproductive. For cultural people, there are a lot of strange talks.

"No, I can't understand some of them." Gasberry said truthfully.

"Hehe, well, it doesn't matter, I will organize manpower for protection and translation, I think our National Library and the Vatican Library should cooperate more closely, we can make more references and references, more cultural exchanges, we There are also some books on religion and philosophy, I think you will be interested.” Jim asked Gasberg to go to the office, economic and political cooperation is too complicated and needs to be discussed slowly, and culture is a good entry point.

Italy still has cultural background. After all, the Renaissance started in Italy. The Vatican also has many places of interest in southern Africa. For example, how the Vatican exerts influence on believers all over the world through religion.
