Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 329 Turning the world upside down

Lala did not live up to Rock's expectations, and indeed captured Lubumbashi within 24 hours.

To everyone's surprise, the Yao people controlled themselves very well. Although some Belgians were killed or injured during the capture of Lubumbashi, there was no large-scale insult to women. People's understanding is completely different.

"Africans are not completely incurable. As long as we find a way, Africans can actually be managed." Rock explained to Phyllis in this way. As for how to manage, there is no need to go into too much detail.

Rock and Phyllis returned to Johannesburg by steam-powered train. Although the internal combustion engine has appeared, it still needs a process to apply the internal combustion engine to the train.

Another important issue is that the Transvaal and Nyasaland are not short of coal, and can even be said to have abundant reserves, but oil reserves are very low. This will affect the future of the Transvaal and Nyasaland Development is a constraint.

Of course, the low reserves are not without. There is oil in Lake Nyasa, but it is not easy to exploit it, and it is still very difficult according to the current technical standards.

Fortunately, at present, Nyasaland's demand for oil is not high, and being in the British Empire, it is easy for Nyasaland to buy oil, so this problem is not serious now.

"I really want to live in Nyasaland." Phyllis didn't want to leave if Roque hadn't returned to Johannesburg due to work.

Phyllis was not idle during her stay in Nyasaland. She had been the principal of a girls' school for a while, and she had been influenced by Sofia's side during this period, and she had made great progress.

There is also a school in Nyasaland now. The model is similar to that of Bigwig School. The biggest difference is that there is an extra preparatory class, which is set up to solve language problems.

Although Roque would like to promote Chinese teaching in Nyasaland, it seems impossible at present. The British also know the importance of culture, otherwise Adelaide would not be committed to promoting English teaching in schools.

Nyasaland's school-age students are basically Chinese, so although the official language of Nyasaland is English, the common language is Chinese, which brings great troubles to teaching.

Although there are many Chinese in Johannesburg, the common language in Johannesburg is English. In this way, Chinese students in Johannesburg have a context for learning English, so the learning speed is quite fast. There is no need to set up preparatory classes, and Chinese students in Johannesburg can keep up with the teaching schedule.

The problem in Nyasaland is still a bit big, because the common language of Nyasaland is Chinese, so Nyasa Public School needs to set up preparatory classes to solve students' language problems.

Generally speaking, students in Nyasaland will study in preparatory classes for one year after enrolling before they can start normal studies.

However, this point is not fixed and will be adjusted over time in the future.

After Phyllis came to Nyasaland, she took over Nyasaland as a matter of course and learned more about Chinese students.

"You will have plenty of time to live in Nyasaland in the future." Rock and Phyllis are getting along very easily now. After the relationship with Phyllis is confirmed, Phyllis began to enter the model of a good wife and mother, and gradually began to be a good wife. A qualified mistress transitioned, which made Rock feel very comfortable.

That's right, Roque doesn't need a quirky lover, but a woman who can take care of the family for Roque. Now it seems that Phyllis is not bad, although sometimes Phyllis can be stupid, but Phyllis is working on it.

How to be a qualified hostess is part of Phyllis's curriculum at Rodin Girls' School in Brighton. The British are also very good at education. The crown of the British Empire in the 21st century has fallen into the Pacific Ocean. British education is still very good.

In fact, the education of the Chinese is also good, but considering the background of the times, the education of the Chinese is actually far behind the world.

It's not too late, Rock is catching up.

The train flew all the way, did not stop when it passed Salisbury, and continued on to Johannesburg.

The scenery along the way is still good, and Stoudemire is also making every effort to develop Rhodesia. In the past, Stoudemire had reasons to be lazy. Now, compared with Nyasaland, Stoudemire has no reason to be lazy.

Arriving in Johannesburg just happened to be early in the morning, Rock and Phyllis slept on the train overnight, refreshed.

Don't get it wrong, they must have slept separately. Rock and Phyllis are not married yet. The Protestant religion that Phyllis believes in clearly opposes premarital sex, so Rock wants to kiss Fangze and wait.

Counting that Rock went to Nyasaland for almost three months this time, the police chief is indeed unqualified. Joe Russell has now been transferred to Orange to serve as the police chief of the Orange Police Department. Fortunately, the telegram is very convenient now, Rock can command remotely in Nyasaland, and the backlog of official duties is not too much.

A few months later, there are still changes in Johannesburg. The streets from the train station to the police station have all been completed, and the green belts and trees on the roadside are very lush. Rock doesn’t know if there are any professional workers in big cities like London and Paris. There must be sanitation workers in Johannesburg, and even the Environmental Protection Bureau in Johannesburg, but the Environmental Protection Bureau in Johannesburg is not an independent unit, but a subordinate unit of the police station.

Compared with the police station of the future, the current police station is actually a hodgepodge. Urban public security, resident registration management, anti-terrorism and explosives disposal, handling of unexpected emergencies, the police station and even firefighting are in charge of it. All troublesome matters are left to the police station.

Rock had no right to speak on this issue, and it was Philip who was testing himself.

Fortunately, Rock knows more or less how cities in the 21st century operate, so for now, Rock's work has not been flawed.

The only embarrassing thing for Rock was that for some unexplainable reason, the Johannesburg Police Department still hired a lot of Africans. There was only one reason, Africans were cheap.

Back in Johannesburg, Rock sent Phyllis home while reporting to Philip by the way.

It can be seen that Philip still has some opinions on Rock's postponement of the marriage, but Philip's performance is not obvious, because Philip also knows that this is an uncontrollable factor.

Out of habit, Philip still cared about progress in Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.

"We're talking now. I don't know if we can get a result. Let's see what the Belgians mean. If the conditions offered by the Belgians are not satisfactory, then it will be so exhausting." Rock is not in a hurry, waiting for Lala to capture Luben After Bashi, I believe Leopold II will recognize the situation.

"Don't go too far, it's almost enough, this incident has made London very passive, and some people have great opinions on you." Philip reminded Rock.

There is definitely a big opinion. The conflict between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State—or it has now escalated into a war will definitely affect the interests of some vested interests. Dennis Wilder has already reminded Rock.

"I know, I will let Duncan and the Belgian have a good talk." Rock agreed very happily, and how to do it depends on God's will.

"You have to know that no matter what, Leopold II is still the king, and the majesty of the royal power cannot be offended, so Locke, please stop it." Philip could see that Rock was not willing.

Rock suddenly came to his senses, as if he had indeed overlooked something.

Although Rock has come to this world, Rock's knowledge structure, experience in dealing with affairs, and understanding of the world all come from the 21st century.

The 21st century is an era when royal power has gradually declined, so Roque has not had a clear understanding of this issue all along.

Specific to the Congo Free State, that is, some people in the UK really hope that Leopold II will be unlucky, but they can't be too unlucky, so as not to affect the authority of the royal family, and then have an impact on the UK.

This relationship is a bit convoluted. Compared with the royal family in the 21st century, the royal family in this era still has great power, so Rock needs to give Leopold II more respect, instead of sweeping up the trash like Leopold II. Pod II sweeps into the trash.

"To understand this relationship, Roque sent a telegram to Duncan and Anton when he returned to the police station, as long as the Belgian's conditions were not excessive, he would agree to the Belgian as soon as possible.

They have all been beaten to the hinterland by Nyasaland, and even the mercenaries have been wiped out. Leopold II really has no strong capital.

Rock was willing to make concessions, and Duncan and Anton were much easier to talk about. Leopold II was currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and he really wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so the negotiations went smoothly.

The key issue is still the compensation. Leopold II is indeed greedy. As long as Nyasaland does not demand compensation, then he can say anything.

As a result, Nyasaland got all of Lake Tanganyika that originally belonged to the Congo Free State, as well as all the land within 50 kilometers from Lake Tanganyika.

Rock voluntarily abandoned Lubumbashi, and the southern salient of the Congo Free State around Lubumbashi.

In order to redeem the mercenaries and Belgians captured by Nyasaland, the Congo Free State had to pay Nyasaland [-] pounds, which was acceptable to Leopold II.

"So, your Nyasaland is still expanding—" After Owen knew the result, he was full of envy and hatred towards Rock.

"It's not considered an expansion, a small Lake Tanganyika, divided into the Congo Free State, Nyasaland, and Tanganyika, it's really annoying—" Rock wanted to monopolize Lake Tanganyika, It's a pity that the Germans disagree.

"Small!" Owen was very angry, and gave Rock a middle finger viciously.

It is really small for Rock, that is, Nyasaland is still under the control of the British government, otherwise, Rock can turn the Congo Free State upside down this time.
