Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 320 Tough ([-] Monthly Pass Plus Change)

Rock frequently met with various gods, and the news was quickly gathered to Frank.

Putting down the list in his hand, Frank's face was gloomy, and he leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his forehead weakly.

It was really troublesome, and Frank was crazily complaining about the Belgian who wanted to die. Right in Frank's hand, there was also a telegram forwarded from London. The telegram was sent to London by Leopold II, asking London to send two Even the incident of being attacked by unknown forces will be explained.

Even Leopold II said it was an "unknown force", so why did Leopold II ask London to explain it?

It's not London!

He also tried to cover up the "attack", as if the British government didn't know the truth. If it was just an "attack", Leopold II would not be so fanciful.

"The Lord's secretary said that this incident has nothing to do with Nyasaland, and urged us to urge the Belgian government to respond to the attack on Nyasaland people in Nyasaland as soon as possible—" Chris also had a sad face, The War Office is now thankless, and there are no people inside and out.

"We need to respond anyway, who do we go to?" Frank slapped the table, his face flushed with anger, panting so violently that he could blow his beard up.

Chris did not speak. This was the responsibility of Frank, the director of the War Office, and had nothing to do with Chris, the soldier.

Feeling angry that he couldn't blame himself, Frank picked up the phone and dialed the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Frank was so angry that he slammed the receiver on the phone.

Chris was terrified. If Frank dropped the phone in a rage, the War Office would have to pay for it.

It is really tight.

"Prepare the car—" Frank decided to go to the door to find someone.

Chris didn't speak, and obediently went to prepare the carriage. Now that he spoke, Frank would use him as a punching bag no matter what he said.

When Frank came to Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company, Rock was comforting Phyllis.

The affairs of Nyasaland cannot be completed in a day or two. Rock estimated that he might not be able to return to Johannesburg for Christmas, so the wedding of Rock and Phyllis was forced to be postponed.

Phyllis didn't come to ask questions, but to fight side by side with Roque. In Phyllis' words, now Phyllis wants to be with Roque unconditionally.

"I'm sorry, my lord, ma'am, to excuse me." Although Frank knew it was inappropriate, he still knocked on the door bravely.

Rock glared at Tang En, while Tang En showed an innocent face. Frank was the director of the war office, and Tang En really couldn't stop him from barging into Rock's office.

"Sit down, Frank, Phyllis, please pour us a cup of coffee—" There was no one around Rock, so he could only grab Phyllis' top bag.

Phyllis saluted Frank very politely before pouring coffee.

Frank scrambled and almost bumped into Chris as he bent over and bowed.

"My lord, can you suspend the operation against the Congo Free State?" Frank cut to the point.

"Frank, I've already said that the matter in the Congo Free State has nothing to do with me." Rock still pushed it away completely. Frank must have not received the latest news, otherwise Frank should be more anxious now.

After annihilating two companies of the Congolese colonial army, Martin did not stop, but continued to go deep into the interior of the Congo Free State.

Lala has also led troops into the Congo Free State, but the direction of attack is different from Martin's. Martin is along Lake Tanganyika, using the convenient transportation of Lake Tanganyika to go deep into the interior of the Congo Free State.

The troops led by Lala started from Lake Mweru, and now they have occupied the important Belgian stronghold along the coast of Lake Mweru.

Putuo is an important stronghold on the border between the Congo Free State and Nyasaland. It is also the only Belgian stronghold within 150 kilometers around Putuo. La can drive straight in, and the Belgians have no resistance.

Now Leopold II probably doesn't know what happened to the general commission, otherwise, with Leopold II's character, he will definitely continue to send telegrams to London, and then the board in London will definitely hit Frank's ass superior.

"My lord, I personally have no objection to Nyasaland punishing the Congo Free State, but we must use a method that everyone can accept." Frank tried to bring the situation back on the right track, but this aroused Rock's anger even more. anger.

"What is the way that everyone can accept? The Congo Free State will apologize, and then pay some symbolic money, and even the perpetrators will not hand it over. This way may be acceptable to everyone, but sorry, I can't accept it, Congo The Free State must give me an explanation that satisfies both me and Nyasaland, otherwise I will use my own way to seek justice for Nyasaland.” Rock refused to let go, the lives of white people are precious, and the lives of Chinese people are precious. Is life just a matter of life, which can be allowed to be killed by white people?

I'm sorry, Rock doesn't think so. If the white people in the Congo Free State think that the Chinese in Nyasaland can be hunted and killed for fun, then Rock will hunt and kill the white people in the Congo Free State at will. You can do whatever you want Hurt each other until one party completely surrenders.

"Lord, can you tell me what conditions you can accept?" Frank finally realized that if Rock's request was not met, Rock would not stop.

"Hand over the perpetrators, hold the Antwerp company's management accountable, and fully compensate Nyasaland for the loss—" Rock made the conditions. Of course, an apology is necessary, as well as tangible benefits.

"Losing money, how much?" Frank didn't bother with the first two items. The main thing was the compensation. If the figure is too small, Rock would not agree.

"One million pounds!" Rock opened his mouth as expected.

"My lord, let's be realistic. Only three people were killed in Nyasaland. Does it cost 33 each?" Frank almost collapsed. Let alone a living person, even a person made of gold is not so expensive.

"Hehe, Frank, you only saw that three Chinese were killed, but do you know how many people I mobilized for this matter?" What Rock wanted was not only the pension, but also the cost of mobilizing the army. is the cost.

"How much?" Frank asked with ulterior motives.

"Now at least 3000. If Leopold II does not agree to this request within a week, the cost will continue to increase." Rock doesn't mind letting Frank know Rock's strength, although there are more than 2000 of the [-] people They are all Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei is also a human being, and he also needs to be eaten by others.

Frank started rubbing his face after hearing this. He didn't doubt the authenticity of this number, but was just curious about how Rock managed to annihilate two companies in the Congo Free State without losing a single person.

"My lord, I'm afraid the Belgians won't accept this fee." Frank doesn't think Leopold II will accept such a condition. Leopold II's income in the Congo Free State is not guaranteed for a year. There are 100 million pounds.

Although the Congo Free State also has mineral resources, Belgians will not go through many twists and turns to mine. The economic pillars of the Congo Free State are rubber and ivory. With these two incomes, Leopold II and the Belgian dignitaries have earned There is a lot of money, so no one goes to the Congo Free State to mine.

In order to harvest more ivory and rubber, the Belgians used rifles and bayonets to force the Congolese into the plantations. A large area of ​​the natural rubber forest in the Congo Free State was destroyed. The Congolese were forced to adopt a quick and easy way to pay heavy taxes. Cut down the rubber tree, or peel off the rubber bark.

This is killing the chicken and picking the eggs. The concession company only cares about the immediate interests and never cultivates new rubber trees. As a result, the rubber forests in the Congo Free State are gradually drying up, and the output has doubled.

There is also a negative result of plantation management. Most of the young and middle-aged labor force is forced to tap rubber and serve corvee. As a result, agriculture is neglected, large areas of land are barren, and the population is rapidly decreasing. The Congo Free State is now a hell on earth.

"It doesn't matter, the Belgians don't need to approve or hand over people, and don't punish the management of the Antwerp company. As long as the Belgians can bear the anger of the Congolese, then they can do whatever they want." Hit until the Belgian bowed his head.

Listening to Rock's understated tone, Frank felt that even his teeth began to ache. Rock's shamelessness was the essence of the British Empire. Everyone knew that it was the Nyasalands who attacked the colonial army in the Congo Free State. Rock However, it is said that they are from the Congolese. I am afraid that the Congolese people will not believe it.

It cannot be said that before the upheaval in Portuguese East Africa, no one believed that the Yao people could defeat the Portuguese. As a result, the fate of the Portuguese was seen by the whole world.

So now, who dares to underestimate the "Congolese" that Roque called!

"Okay, my lord, I will pass on your request, and I hope there will be a good result." Frank knew that Rock would not change the conditions, and he would not continue talking nonsense, so he simply handed over the choice to the Belgian.

Of course, the Belgians would not be caught without a fight. On the day he received the telegram from the British government, Leopold II ordered the Congo Free State to expand its army and prepare for war, and tried to gather mercenaries from Europe to the Congo Free State to help maintain law and order.

Of course, Roque is also continuing to increase troops to the Congo Free State, but Roque does not need to mobilize the Nyasalands, and the Yao people can provide enough troops for Roque.

In mid-December, at least 300 Yao people entered the Congo Free State from Nyasaland, plus 800 northern Rhodesian teachers and camps, and 7000 Nyasaland militia groups. Within a month, nearly [-] people were sent to the Congo Free State.

Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness, the ability to send troops in a single round, Nyasaland has completely blown the Belgians, Roque’s side has already sent people to the Congo Free State, and Leopold II’s mercenaries have not moved yet Well, if you want to rush to the Congo Free State and join the war, it will be at least 1903.
