Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 473 The Brothers

In Phyllis' words, Roque was doing great.

When Rock walked towards the gun, Phyllis almost fainted, her heartbeat was so violent that it almost jumped out of her throat.

When Roque snatched the gun and smashed the bullets one by one on Harry Alsop's face, Phyllis felt alive again. If anything happened to Roque, Phyllis really didn't care. Know what to do.

Harry Alsop was quickly taken away by the guards, and what awaited him would be brutal revenge from the London Police Department.

Think about Harry Alsop's questioning of the Metropolitan Police Department some time ago, and now it is in the hands of the Metropolitan Police Department, the police department will definitely not let Harry Alsop go easily.

"It's great Locke, you are so calm and calm in the face of danger—" Victor Foster praised Rock.

"This pistol is made by the Nyasaland Armory Factory. When the safety is in the closed position, it cannot be fired even if the trigger is pulled. This is designed to prevent the gun from going off. I didn't expect it to save my life now." Rock said. Ruger P03 was handed to Victor Foster. It is estimated that Victor Foster has never seen such an advanced weapon.

The British seem to have used revolvers all the way up to World War II.

Victor Foster's focus is obviously different from Roque's: "Nyasaland still has an arsenal?"

It seems to have slipped my mouth, but it doesn't matter. This is not a secret to the British government. If the War Office doesn't even have this ability, it can almost be dismantled.

So Rock said frankly: "In order to produce Martini Henry rifles, Mr. Cecil Jr. bought some machines from the Royal Small Arms Factory."

"The Martini Henry is indeed a good gun—" Victor Foster immediately forgot about it. Since it was a machine purchased from the Royal Small Arms Factory, there should be no problem.

On the second day after the banquet, Rock and Phyllis left London for the Transvaal on the cruise ship "Princess Irene".

The "Princess Eleni" cruise ship belongs to the Cape Vikings Shipping Company. It is a mixed passenger and cargo ship. Rock and his party bought almost half of the cabins and returned to the Transvaal with Rock. In addition to Rock's guards, it also includes various talents that Christian has collected in London during this time.

Rock still attaches great importance to talents, mainly in engineering. All kinds of engineers, designers, university teachers, and even college graduates who have just graduated from school, as long as they are willing to go to the Transvaal, Rock will give them satisfaction. salary.

The biggest backer is Andrew Harold, dean of the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Glasgow, who should be the former dean now. Andrew Harold failed to run for the principal and resigned in a rage.

Rock promised Andrew Harold that he would establish a comprehensive university in Nyasaland that was no less than the University of Glasgow, and then persuaded Andrew Harold to go to Nyasaland.

The life on the ship was actually very boring, and Rock could just use this time to discuss the subject setting of Nyasaland University with Andrew Harold.

"The civil engineering department is essential. The University of Glasgow has the earliest civil engineering department and shipbuilding department in the UK, and they are now the best. I brought a few people, all of whom are senior faculty members of the civil engineering department. Each of them can To be a professor, it's a pity that there are too few professor positions, so they are also underappreciated—" Andrew Harold has his own appeal, dare to run for the principal, and Andrew Harold must have his own direct descendants, and now Andrew Harold leads With his direct descendants leaving, the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Glasgow suffered heavy losses.

"Civil engineering is really necessary, rebuilding in Transvaal and Orange is not over yet, both Nyasaland and Rhodesia are developing fast and there is strong demand for this; I am in Malone in Nyasaland A campus has been built by Lake Bay, and some professors have even started working. When you arrive in Nyasaland, you can start working immediately." Rock has already started preparations a long time ago, and now it is finally time to bear fruit.

"Some professors!" Andrew Harold was shocked. Professors are still rare these days.

Under the Anglo-Australian-New Zealand system, there is usually only one full professor in each field. No matter how outstanding the contribution and senior qualifications of other people, they can only become associate professors at most. Senior lecturer is the highest title of most university faculty.

For example, at the University of Glasgow, there is only Andrew Harold as a full professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, with a number of associate professors supporting the entire Department of Civil Engineering.

Rock is more inclined to the tenured professor system born in Germany and carried forward in the United States and Canada in terms of professional titles. The purpose of the tenured professor system is to ensure that the academic research of professors will not be restrained and troubled by politics, business and funding sources. In universities, new teachers have a period of 6 to 7 years of probation to examine the academic level and professional ethics of teachers, and then the school decides whether to award tenured professors based on academic qualifications.

Nyasaland University will definitely implement a tenured professor system in the future. For example, Andrew Harold, Abu, and even Douglas, who has turned to administration, will probably become tenured professors at Nyasaland University in the future. This is an affirmation of their abilities , is an honorary title.

Of course, there is also a generous annual salary, which is a reward for their contributions.

"Sounds very good." Andrew Harold did not object to Rock's arrangement. Universities in the UK are strict and almost cruel in this regard. Many senior lecturers clearly have the qualifications and level of a single professor, but due to restrictions Due to the system, it is unfair to them that they will not be able to become professors for the rest of their lives.

"Don't worry about funding issues. Professor Abu's research results last year earned 25 pounds in just half a year this year. The University of Glasgow's funding for a year is not so much." Rock is very proud. The Russo-Japanese War is now over. Towards the end, the Empire of Japan and the Empire of Russia were negotiating at Portsmouth, England, under the mediation of US President Theodore Roosevelt.

The war caused huge losses to both the Japanese Empire and the Russian Empire. The two countries have run out of oil, and even Britain is unwilling to give loans to both parties, for fear that the two countries will not be able to pay them back in the future.

Russia lost all its rights in the Far East in the war, and Japan did not win. They gained privileges, but they did not get the final compensation like the war between the Qing Empire, and they were burdened with heavy foreign debts. Ten years to pay off.

Or it won't be clear for ten years, if Japan can't turn around with the help of World War I.

The British government was the ultimate winner. Through the Russo-Japanese War, it fully achieved its own goals, that is, to curb Russia's expansion in the Far East, and suppress the momentum of Japan's rise, becoming the largest creditor of both Japan and Russia.

The Rand Bank was also a winner. Like the British government, the Rand Bank also hedged its bets and is now a joint creditor to the Empire of Japan and Empire of Russia.

Rock also got what he wanted. During the entire Russo-Japanese War, Transvaal and Nyasaland dumped nearly a million pounds of goods to the warring parties. The Nyasaland Arsenal took the opportunity to complete the hardware upgrade. Even Martini ·The production lines of Henry rifles are all sold to the Japanese, the price is much higher than when they were bought, and the price is similar to the price of a new production line.

Abramovich and the medical school also gained a lot. Through the sale of medicines, Abu himself received a dividend of almost [-] pounds. During the war, the medical academy sent a medical team to the Far East. Nearly forty teachers and students went to the Far East. On the front line, I really participated in the war and obtained a lot of valuable first-hand information.

Dean Colin Bellamy, who led the team, returned to Bigwig and began to write a book on first aid in the field, and planned to offer a subject on first aid in the medical school.

This subject may become the biggest feature of medical schools in the future.

In addition to the above positives, the bigger positives come from the farms around Johannesburg.

Through the Russo-Japanese War, farmers around Johannesburg also made a lot of money. Rand Bank data shows that nearly half of the farmers have paid off their loans. The Transvaal Agricultural Association is in contact with the Nyasaland Tractor Factory , hoping to order tractors from Nyasaland Tractor Factory at a favorable price.

Canned food from Rhodesia became the most popular product in the Far East. According to Stoudemire’s telegram: Even if potatoes are packed in cans and sent to the Far East, they will become a hot commodity.

Sure enough, when the cannon fired, it was worth ten thousand taels of gold.

"25 pounds!" Andrew Harold was shocked, 25 pounds is not a small amount, and the annual income of the University of Glasgow is just that much.

The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 and has a history of 450 years. How long has Nyasaland Medical School been established?

Even for Professor Abu, Andrew Harold didn't have the slightest impression, and he had never heard of this name before.

Suddenly, Andrew Harold was full of longing for Nyasaland, where many secrets were hidden.

While Rock and Andrew Harold were chatting enthusiastically, Phyllis took Gavin to sit at the table next to him to eat fruit.

It was mainly because Phyllis was eating, and Gavin enthusiastically expressed that he wanted to try it, but the unscrupulous mother refused to give it, which made Gavin cry in anger.

Then a weird kid ran over, handed the apple to Gavin to eat, and carefully broke it into pieces for Gavin.

Phyllis's affection increased greatly, and she touched the little guy's black hair and asked kindly: "What a little angel, where's your mother?"

Gavin grinned and said nothing, Rock was terrified.

The little guy is Arthur, and this is the first time he and Gavin have met.
