Chapter 482

To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of language habits. Except for India, everyone in the world knows to nod yes and shake their heads no, but Indians are different. They nod to reject, and shake their heads to agree.

Moreover, Indian people's head shaking and nodding are not shaking their heads and nodding in the general sense, but shaking their heads at a certain weird angle, which conveys a completely different message.

When Ji Yishu went to buy ingredients, due to poor communication, he had a conflict with the shop owner. After the big turban police arrived, no matter how Ji Yishu explained it, the big turban police did not believe that Ji Yishu was the new First Cavalry Division. The cook, and then he was taken away by the police after writing a book.

After Rock knew the news, he immediately ordered Guan Jing to go to the police station to ask for someone.

To Rock's surprise, after Guan Jing went to the police station near the market, he failed to find Ji Yishu as he wished. The police station claimed that Ji Yishu was not in the police station at all.

"The situation in Calcutta is a bit complicated. There are cross-border law enforcement activities in police stations in different regions. People may also be taken away by other police stations. Don't worry, look for them slowly." Lord Belloc didn't understand Rock's anxious mood. It was not a good sign that the new [-]st Cavalry Division had just arrived in Calcutta and had lost its cook.

"Go to the market, find out the shop owner who called the police, and ask where the other person is?" Rock went straight to the person concerned without going around in circles.

This decision was correct. Guan Jing finally found Ji Yishu at the store owner's relative's house.

Ji Yishu was also careless. He went directly to the market without guards, and he bought things in pounds sterling. In the end, he was regarded as a liar by the shop owner. The policeman who came to the police was a relative of the shop owner. After taking Ji Yishu away, He didn't take it back to the police station, but took it back to his home, trying to blackmail Ji Yishu.

When Guan Jing found Ji Yishu, one of his legs had been broken, and he had only one breath left.

This time, without Rock's request, the Calcutta police station was very efficient, arresting people and ransacking their homes as quickly as possible, and the compensation for Ji Yishu and the newly formed First Cavalry Division was five cows.

"My man has a broken leg, and he has only one breath left. After being sent back to Johannesburg, he will have to recuperate for more than half a year, and there is a high possibility of sequelae. All this is only worth five cows?" Rock suppressed his anger, and Calcutta Police Station Secretary Garfield Huntington representations.

"My lord, this is Calcutta. Five cows is already the limit, and the status of cows in India is very high. Even if you want to buy them for food, you can't say it directly, but you have to buy them for use, so that there will be no problems." Garfield Huntington is British, and he probably doesn't know how Rock protects the interests of the Chinese.

"Well then, how did the parties involved deal with it?" In fact, it doesn't matter whether the compensation is paid or not, and Roque doesn't care about this, as the parties must be held accountable.

"The policeman involved has been suspended and is waiting for follow-up processing. However, as you know, my lord, the situation in Calcutta is relatively tense. We are unlikely to deal with it openly, nor can it be dealt with too seriously." Garfield Huntington said truthfully, this result It would definitely not satisfy Rock, but Garfield Huntington couldn't help it either.

In fact, the situation in Calcutta was not that serious. As Roque learned more about India, Roque found that Indians were really not worthy of sympathy.

In 1857, India once broke out a national uprising against the colonial rule of the British East India Company and striving for independence. The scale of this uprising was not the whole of India, but only a few states in the north. Most of the princes and nobles in India were from the British The government's position, to help the British government as much as possible, eventually led to the failure of the uprising.

Therefore, there is absolutely a reason for Britain to deliberately win over those pro-British princes and nobles.

The same is true for the riots this time. After the failure of the last national uprising, the British ended the East India Company’s rule over India and transferred the rule to the government. After that, the British ruled India directly. There are as many as [-] people, plus troops composed of Indians and Gurkhas, enough to suppress sporadic riots in India.

The center of the riot was Dhaka, where Roque was going. There were thousands of troops stationed there, and the pressure on law and order was actually not that great, so Calcutta could still sing and sing every night.

Since Garfield Huntington didn't have many options, Roque didn't force it either, but Roque hoped to get Garfield Huntington's cooperation.

"How to cooperate?" Garfield Huntington was very curious about how Rock would handle it.

"Help me arrange a few people to live in the same cell as the person involved." Roque was also a policeman, so it is not easy to bypass the law.

"My lord, if there is no legal trial, private revenge will not serve as a warning." Garfield Huntington agreed to help, but he didn't think it would solve the problem.

Rock didn't want to warn other people at all. The Book of Records must be sent back to Johannesburg. In the future, when the cooks of the new First Cavalry Division go out to purchase, Rock will definitely send guards to follow him. Will anyone dare to deliberately make things difficult?

Rock still couldn't believe it.

Arranging several people to go to prison was not too simple for Garfield Huntington. Geng Biao went out in person and took four people to the police station.

Rock didn't ask Geng Biao how he did it, but the next day news came out from the police station that there was a large-scale brawl among the prisoners in the prison last night, and four people had their limbs broken. The scene was horrible.

Ji Yishu's leg was broken, and the doctors of the new [-]st Cavalry Division will provide Ji Yishu with timely treatment. After returning to Johannesburg, Ji Yishu will also receive follow-up treatment from the Bigwig Hospital.

Guys with severed arms and legs in prisons are more unlucky. In this situation in India, it is basically impossible to get effective treatment, and the fate of those few people will definitely be miserable.

Rock didn't care about the fate of those people, they deserved what they deserved. On Christmas Day, a Dhaka earth king came to visit Rock, and the gift he brought was a Buddha statue made of gold. Probably the earth king hoped that Rock could study Next, what is the difference between gold in India and gold in Johannesburg.

The new First Cavalry Division is definitely going to Dhaka, so it is normal for someone to give Rock a gift. Marcos Lloyd reminded Rock before that the earth kings who met at the banquet will probably Will be visiting Rock these days.

To Roque's surprise, so far, only this soil king named Wisakam has come to visit. It seems that the other soil kings don't trust Roque.

Rock didn't refuse Visakam's gift. This is the rule these days. Rock himself gave Ade a gift. There is no need to pretend to be clean when he arrives in India.

Of course, Roque would not feel short-handed. A small golden Buddha was nothing more than gold. If Visakhamti's request was too much, Roque would not agree.

As a result, the purpose of Wissakam looking for Roque was to buy grain from Johannesburg for a long time.

"The situation in East Bengal is very complicated. There are many mountains and hills in the territory. Our food has never been enough. Many people starve to death every year. There are still many people in East Bengal who are starving. I heard that Johannesburg has a lot of food and the price is very cheap. , so——” Visakam’s English is better than that of most Indians. Although English is the official language of India, the English pronunciation of Indians is also difficult to describe. People, oral English is better.

But it's also good and limited.

Thinking of this, Roque suddenly realized a problem, but there was no need for Roque to ask, Visacam directly explained: "I knew about southern Africa when I was studying in the UK. Once, I almost went to work in southern Africa. But then I still choose to go back to India Lord Nyasaran I need your help I know Johannesburg has a surplus of food and East Bengal is seriously short of food and if we can have a long term relationship this will be resolved We have problems on both sides."

Visakam is right. Johannesburg's grain production is indeed in surplus, and Roque also hopes to open up foreign trade channels. India is obviously a good choice.

So Rock agreed very happily, and hoped that Visacam would go to Johannesburg at the right time, and Rock would have a good chat with Visacam at that time.

It's not suitable now. Rock and Visacam are at best establishing a preliminary relationship. To do business, you still need real money, especially for long-term bulk purchases. This requires Visacam to further communicate with the Johannesburg Agricultural Association.

After sending Visakham away, Roque asked for information on Assam.

At this time, Rock discovered that Assam was not called Assam yet, and he did not know when the name would appear. Assam at this time was a part of East Bengal. After India became independent, Bangladesh did not join India. Federation, but decided to become an independent country, East Bengal remained within the Federation of India, and Bengal was located exactly between India and East Bengal.

The level of nail burying in the UK is indeed high.

The word "Assam" is another name for the Dai people, so the Assamese people are probably a branch of the Dai people. East Bengal is the most complicated area in India. There are many mountains and hills in the territory, and there are many ethnic groups. The confrontation is serious, and indescribably serious violent incidents have occurred frequently until the 21st century.

Rock also had a headache when he saw the introduction to East Bengal. There are dozens of ethnic groups and hundreds of languages ​​in such a small place, not only because of the partition of Bengal, but also because of the serious resistance to the British government. Conflicts are also very frequent. According to Rock's standards, acts against humanity happen almost frequently.

Rock suddenly felt that the troops of the two companies might not be enough.
