Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2518 It's not bad if you don't lose money

Coulci lied, he didn't stay in the hotel honestly.

However, being a guest on a farm is not a heinous thing. The Transvaal state government has been planning to turn the Transvaal into a tourist and cultural mecca over the years, and it is still very tolerant of tourists.

"I just want to know the real situation of farms in southern Africa. This is one of my jobs. I have always been very curious about farms in southern Africa. I also have a farm in France, and I have a vineyard—" Kurchi didn't panic. Busy, ten thousand rand is not so easy to earn.

"I don't care what your job is, don't cause trouble on my territory, I will always keep an eye on you." The leader of the operation who leads the team is also patient, so take your time.

Neither of them was in a hurry, only Stuart was slightly regretful that his [-] rand was gone.

Stewart's farm area is very large, about 1500 acres, converted to about 9000 acres.

After sending away the staff in Brad's office, Stewart had to continue to entertain Kurci, after all, he had received money from Petrovic.

"Are you farmers so vigilant?" Kurchi was very interested in Stuart.

Southern Africa has a well-developed industry, and agriculture is the foundation for ensuring national stability.

In the past few years of the World War, southern Africa has become the rear of the entire Allied camp, and the same developed agriculture has contributed a lot.

Russia's agriculture is also very strong, and it is the largest grain exporter in Europe. Compared with southern Africa, it is not developed.

The main agricultural products exported by Russia are grains, and the main agricultural products exported by southern Africa are meat, poultry eggs, and deeply processed agricultural products, which are different from Russia.

"No, it's only for certain groups of people." Stuart wasn't embarrassed, looking at Kurchi's eyes, he felt like the word "bad guy" was written on his face.

The vast majority of southern Africans were born in boy scouts and received military training since childhood.

Stewart fought in World War I and is still a member of the Hunters Association.

The Hunter Association is a semi-official organization like a militia. It is very large, with millions of members in southern Africa.

Since they are hunters, they must have weapons. Stuart and his sons are all wearing pistols on their waists. Stuart's is a "boa constrictor" long barrel, which is said to be powerful enough to kill an elephant.

"Only in the remote suburbs far away from the city, do you have the opportunity to use these weapons. Is it necessary to carry them with you?" Kurchi is very happy. The popularity of guns is so high, which is more beneficial to Kurqi.

The Comintern does things in an eclectic manner. To put it bluntly, it is unscrupulous. If the goal cannot be achieved by peaceful means, then violent means must be used.

Southern Africa can't help but pay attention to cultivating the martial spirit of the people. This is a double-edged sword, and if it is not done well, it will cause big problems.

In the past few years, the federal government of Southern Africa has also been aware of this problem, and its attitude towards guns has gradually begun to shrink.

Guns are not banned in Southern Africa for historical reasons.

After the end of the Second Boer War, the land area of ​​southern Africa has reached more than 100 million square kilometers, but the population is only about 70. The standard land is sparsely populated. At that time, the size of a farm could reach tens of thousands of acres, and wild animals outnumbered humans. Hundreds of times more, if there is no weapon, if there is an accident, when the police come, the only thing that can be done is to collect the corpse.

Maybe not even a body could be found.

When Rock took over Nyasaland, in the wild environment, regardless of whether it was a human or a beast, the corpse could be decomposed overnight.

The situation in southern Africa is now much better than it was decades ago. The negative effects of the proliferation of guns have begun to appear. In big cities like Pretoria and Johannesburg, crimes caused by the proliferation of guns have increased year by year. , the federal government is trying to find a way to control guns.

This matter cannot be rushed. The martial spirit of the people has been cultivated for decades. If they are asked to hand over their guns, a careless operation will explode on the spot.

Others don't say that some members of the Hunter Association have shooting skills that are no less than the precision shooters in the army. If they take the path of crime, they will definitely cause more harm.

So it can only be done step by step.

The federal governments at all levels have now completed the registration of guns. The next step is to centralize all guns for management, and the federal government has also paid for the recycling of guns. A pistol that sold for 20 rand 20 years ago, The recycling price is now 25 rand.

Governments at all levels of the federal government have spent close to R10 billion on gun recycling alone.

Based on a 25-rand calculation, 10 billion rand is almost 4000 million.

That's just one-tenth of all guns owned by civilians in Southern Africa.

In other words, the total number of guns owned by civilians in Southern Africa is about [-] million.

In 1944, Southern Africa had a population of 2.1 million, almost two guns per person.

One long and one short, standard configuration.

"This is to warn some people not to act rashly!" Stuart smiled.

The pickup parked on the lawn in front of Stewart's house, a two-story traditional brick and wood building.

It is not accurate to say that brick and wood are mixed, it should be stone and wood mixed.

The foundation of the house is stone, and the buildings on the ground are basically wooden structures. There are fewer and fewer houses like this now. Many new houses built by farmers are made of stronger reinforced concrete.

Stewart's family has a large population and several houses. According to the standards of southern Africa, this place may become a small town in a few decades.

Of course, it is also possible that there will be fewer and fewer people. After all, the new generation of southern Africans prefer to live in cities.

Stewart's four sons all work, two in the gold mines, one in the municipality, and one in the police force, and all have families and businesses.

After learning about the specific situation, Kurch immediately set his sights on his second son, Gaskol, who works in the Westland gold mine.

"There is nothing to say about the work in the gold mine. It's too boring. Every day, you dig rocks, pull them, and crush them. All the work is dealing with rocks." Gascoll smiled, and his figure was not strong. On the contrary, it is a bit thin, and it is not the same as the miners in Kurci's impression.

The miners in Kurchi's impression are still the kind of precarious work in a dark environment, risking countless dangers such as gas leakage, water seepage, and collapse.

Gaskle's job certainly wasn't like that. In a plaid shirt, jeans, manicured nails, long white fingers, he didn't look like a miner at all.

"You don't look like a miner—" Kurch said matter-of-factly.

"What does it look like? A pianist?" Gascoll smiled brightly, and Kurch noticed that there was really a piano in Stewart's living room.

piano!

This stuff shouldn't be in a miner's house at all.

"It seems that your income is very good." Kurci admired.

Stewart’s home not only has a piano, but also a TV, refrigerator, player and other household appliances. The air conditioner is not unaffordable, but unusable. Johannesburg is neither hot nor cold, even in the hottest summer. How much to turn on the air conditioner.

"This is not my home. My home is in Bigwig. Today is the weekend, so my brothers and I are here." Gascoll has long been used to it.

It was only then that Kurchi realized that Stewart's farm had 1500 acres. According to the farm price in Johannesburg, if it was sold, it would be 1500 million rand!
This Nima has 1500 million rand, no matter in any country, he is a proper rich man.

Kurci suddenly felt a little tricky.

How to persuade a rich man to give up his wealth and follow him to rebel?

Under normal circumstances, Coulci should be kneeling and begging Stewart to sponsor him for a sum of money.

This is very frustrating.

In Europe, Kurci worked with the proletarians.

In southern Africa, the proletarians in the traditional sense are all rich.

No wonder before setting off, Petrovich reminded Kurch that they should focus on those foreign workers.

Kulci switched gears right away, asking Gascoll to learn more about the Westland gold mine.

"There are no foreign workers in the mine. They are all from southern Africa. Those foreign workers are a bit stupid, and they can't even learn to repair machines." Gascoll finally showed a sad expression on his face. The salary of foreign workers is indeed low, but it is a pity that they are no longer suitable. Gold mine now.

In the Rand mining area, there were about 20 foreign workers at the peak.

Now and what is left.

It's not that the mine owners don't want to reduce costs, but that with the increasing use of machinery, foreign workers with low education levels are no longer suitable for the current gold mines, and mining has now become a high-tech industry.

Knowing this, Kulqi didn't waste any more time on the farm, and immediately returned to Bigwig City with Petrovich.

After decades of development, Bigwig City is not what it used to be. It is home to Bigwig College and Johannesburg School of Medicine, as well as Locke College, which is not well-known but may be stronger than Bigwig. Bigwei City has long been one of the most educated cities in Southern Africa.

"This is the case. The farmers in southern Africa may be the most stubborn group in the world. Their loyalty to Lord Locke is unshakable. I can't think of any way to persuade them to join our cause—" Petrovich said honestly To be honest, he has also made countless attempts in southern Africa over the years, but unfortunately nothing has been achieved.

Here nothing is accomplished, referring only to the tasks given to Petrovich by the Comintern.

In terms of life, Petrovic has a small company in Cape Town, which specializes in exporting agricultural products to Europe. The business is doing well, so Petrovic is not a proletarian, at least he is also a middle class.

"Wait, you just said that Lord Locke—" Kurci seemed to catch something vaguely.

"Yes, I said - what do you mean?" Petrovich was shocked, you should not assassinate Rock.

If you want to die, you can go by yourself, don't hurt me so much.

"You think too much, don't you think I'm an idiot?" Kulqi was angry, he wasn't crazy, so it's not good to be alive.

"Then what do you mean?" Petrovich was a little relieved.

It's fine if you don't want to assassinate Roque.

There are many people in the world who want to assassinate Roque. Over the years, Roque has been assassinated [-] times if not [-] times. Most of them failed in the preparation stage.

In other words, it was killed by the security department before it could be implemented.

"Lord Locke is over 60 years old this year—" Kurch thought thoughtfully, time may be Rock's only weakness.

In fact, this is not absolute. For a politician, under normal circumstances, he is in his prime when he is in his 60s.

Guys like Rock and Winston who have made their mark at a young age are rare in the political arena.

Rock could do it for another 20 years if he wanted to.

Until the day when I can't do it at all.

"That's right, but if you want to survive until Lord Locke retires, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Public information shows that Lord Locke's physical condition may be better than all of us—" Petrovic sighed.

Rock, who is in his 60s, can still run five kilometers, and his results are very good for this age group.

Petrovic has neglected to exercise for a long time, not to mention running five kilometers, he may not be able to walk.

Things haven't been much better for Coulci, either.

"Okay, let's go to the Johannesburg Textile Group to see if we can find opportunities." Kurchi didn't give up. Since the peasant brothers can't do it, let's try the worker brothers.

Textile companies are undoubtedly labor-intensive enterprises.

Southern Africa is now the rear of the Allied forces, not only in southern Africa, but most of the clothing of the British and French armies is also provided by the Johannesburg Textile Group. Now the Johannesburg Textile Group has 10,000+ workers, second only to Fawalt Steel.

Farwalt not only produces steel, but is also involved in the mining industry, with a larger number of workers.

However, Kurch did not dare to go to Fawalt, not because he was not tempted, but because Henry had a bad reputation. Kurch was worried that if he went to Fawalt, he would die in a mine for no reason.

Relatively speaking, the Johannesburg Textile Group is much safer. After all, Phyllis, the first lady, is also the first lady in southern Africa, and may even be the number one philanthropist in the world. She should not be as ruthless as Henry.

In order to protect the environment, the Johannesburg Textile Group moved to Orange in the early years, which is actually not far from Bigwig City, about 100 kilometers away.

For a distance of 100 kilometers, there is no need to take a train, and the car will arrive in two hours. Kurchi has begun to get used to the convenient transportation in southern Africa.

A large enterprise with more than 10,000 people, together with the families of these people, is enough to form a medium-sized city. The city where the textile group is located is now called Angel City, because Phyllis is like an angel, leaving almost all the profits to the textile group. This completely overturned Kurch's three views.

Do you want to run a business and open a factory without profit?

Really.

Felice is like this, and people look down on the hard-earned money earned by the Textile Group, and the money earned by Itno is just pocket money for Felice.

"How much is the annual profit of the Johannesburg Textile Group?" Kurchi said with mixed views.

Petrovich had complicated expressions and even more complicated emotions.

For a company with 10,000+ employees, who would have thought that the annual profit would be zero!
It's not bad if you don't lose money.
