Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 491

In fact, launching a war against the Nepalese government really does not make much money.

If Roque really launches a war against the Nepalese government, the purpose is not for money, but for the Gurkha mercenaries in Nepal.

Nominally, the current Nepal is still the Kingdom of Nepal. In 1814, a war broke out between the United Kingdom and Nepal. Nepal was forced to cede a large area of ​​territory to British India, accept British supervision, and become a British protectorate.

In 1846, the pro-British general Zhongge·**** Rana launched a coup, and the power of the Nepalese king fell, and the Rana family hereditary prime minister actually took power in Nepal.

At the beginning, the British government wasted a lot of energy for the government of Nepal. It didn't matter to Rock. Now Rock also has Gurkha mercenaries in his hands, and the equipment of Rock's troops is more advanced. It is no problem to defeat Nepal. Rock didn't worry about this problem at all.

If Rock defeats the Nepalese government, then Rock can immigrate from Nepal unscrupulously, thus obtaining a steady stream of labor and loyal and brave mercenaries.

Don't think that only mercenaries in Nepal can do it. That's because the Gurkhas in Nepal can only become mercenaries and have no other way out.

As far as the character of the Gurkhas is concerned, if they go to a farm or a factory, can't they become excellent workers?

It is definitely possible, but in Nepal, they have no farms or factories to enter, and no way to play a role, so they can only go to the army.

Rock believes that after the families of these Gurkha mercenaries go to Johannesburg, they will become the best hired workers on the farm and the best workers in the factory, because they are obedient enough, and whoever gives them food, they will give back to them. Who worked hard, besides the Transvaal, there are already many Indians in southern Africa, so Roque doesn't mind adding some Gurkhas. Compared to Indians who are muddy and can't get on the wall, Roque still prefers Gurkhas.

Lord Belloc is obviously not as courageous as Roque, and he is very worried about Roque's attitude.

"Locke, the current Prime Minister of Nepal has a good relationship with us. We don't need to go to war. Of course, I didn't say that you can't immigrate. It's just that you can do it more covertly, so that people don't get caught." Lord Belloc changed a statement.

Rock understood immediately, how simple it was to say so early.

Ustam has never appeared, anyway, there has been no similar incident of extermination in Nakla, and Rock can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to Lord Belloc, so Rock went to Kathmandu with peace of mind, to see Nepal. General Lana, the man in power.

Kathmandu is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas. As a natural barrier, the Himalayas shield Kathmandu from the cold wind from the north. To the south of the city is the warm current of the Indian Ocean. The unique geographical environment makes the annual average temperature here about 20 ℃. The climate is pleasant and the sun is shining all year round. With lush green trees and blooming flowers, it is a world-famous tourist attraction.

Well, world civilization is a bit exaggerated. No one cares about the environment in Kathmandu these days. There are many places with good environment, and it is a serious matter to feed the people.

Obviously, the residents of Kathmandu don’t have enough to eat. After entering Kathmandu, most of the residents Rock saw along the way were ragged and disheveled. Many people were obviously malnourished. Rock’s convoy appeared in Kathmandu On the street, countless beggars immediately surrounded them. They didn't care whether they would be hit by a car. Hunger had made them forget all their fears.

Hilton Robert's way of opening the road was simple and clear. While spreading the candies in his hand to the side of the road to attract hungry people to loot them, he beat the beggars in front of the car with a whip, and the convoy quickly rushed out of the encirclement.

"These beggars should go to hell. They do nothing all day long, and they are simply abscesses in the city." Rock was a nobleman, and when he came to Kathmandu, Hilton Robert must accompany him all the way.

Rock doesn't want to talk, even if these beggars want to do something, there must be something that allows them to do it. Everyone wants to live with dignity, and no one wants to beg from others, but in this case in Kathmandu——

It is estimated that there are no beggars in Johannesburg in the whole world. In Johannesburg, all beggars have to be sent to the mines to mine. Although this work is a bit tiring, it can be full anyway and not starve to death.

For those who do not want to work, the Johannesburg city government will not compromise. It is not up to the beggar to decide whether to work or not. It is mandatory. If you don’t want to go to the mine, you will go to jail.

If you go to prison, you also have to go to the mine, and you don't even have a salary.

Very simple multiple choice question.

Of course there is another option, which is to leave Johannesburg, but that is not the problem of the Johannesburg City Government.

"How is the situation in Kathmandu?" Rock was still concerned about General Rana, and he didn't care about the beggars in Kathmandu.

It's not that Roque has no love, he really can't care, there are too many beggars in the world, if Roque cares about beggars when he sees them, it won't solve the problem even if he takes all his wealth out.

"It has always been like this. Ever since the Rana family launched a coup in the last century, the king has been under house arrest in the Hanuman Dhoka Palace. The prime minister lives in the Narayanhiti Palace. You will know later, Lord, Narayanhi Thi Palace is much more beautiful than Hanuman Dhoka Palace.” Hilton Robert is based in Kathmandu and is no stranger to Kathmandu.

Narayanhiti Palace is located in the center of Kathmandu. It is the private residence of the Rana family. It was later given to the king, became the king's palace, and later became the national museum.

From the evolution of Narayanhiti Palace, we can clearly see the transfer of power in Nepal. The current Prime Minister still lives in Narayanhiti Palace, and Rock’s destination is also here.

When you arrive in Nepal, you don't visit the king, but visit the prime minister. This is also a Nepalese characteristic.

General Lana still attaches great importance to Rock's visit. After all, there are not many British nobles who come to Nepal throughout the year, and Rock is still a military nobleman with a military position. General Lana can emigrate unscrupulously with Rock Protested to the British government, but when he saw Roque, General Lana was very affectionate, as if the previous protest did not exist.

Rock is not used to sitting in the resplendent main living room. The living room is so luxuriously decorated. When you look around, you can see a piece of gold. Nepalese and Indians like gold very much. You need to get a string of brass chains to hang around your neck and fill it with gold. People who don’t know the details think that Nepal and India are full of gold, but this is not the case at all.

The decoration in Narayanhiti Palace must be genuine gold. As long as gold can be used, it is all decorated with gold. The walls are all covered with gold foil. When the light shines, the whole living room is golden and scary , even Hilton Robert's face is yellow.

That's right, when Roque met with General Lana, Hilton Robert would also be present. This was a courtesy, and it was also a surveillance of Roque.

Rock didn't care at all. He came to find General Rana, and his purpose was not to join forces with the Nepalese government to overthrow the British government, so there was nothing to hide. In the living room, apart from Hilton Robert and General Rana's private secretary, There was no one else, so Roark got right to the point.

"Thank you very much for the cooperation of the Nepalese government in the recruitment of the new First Cavalry Division from Nepal. I have some personal gifts here, as a gift to General Rana—" Rock did not go around in circles. This time he came to General Rana In order to give a gift, I have something to say in person.

"Lord Nyasaran, thank you very much for your kindness. The Nepalese government and London have always had a close relationship. We are also honored to serve the British Empire." General Rana is indeed a pro-British faction. British aristocrats, General Lana dare not neglect.

The gift Roque brought to General Lana was not gold, but Lee Enfield, Luger pistols, and general-purpose machine guns produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal.

What is the most worrying thing about the Lana family who started in a coup?

Of course, other people also relied on the coup to drive the Lana family out of power. For the Lana family, losing power is tantamount to death, so this is a matter of life and death. To ensure power, more Weapons, more advanced weapons to arm his own army, Roque can be regarded as what he likes.

Of course, General Lana was familiar with Lee Enfield. When Rock came to Narayanhiti Palace, he found that the guards were equipped with Lee Enfield.

However, the Nepalese army should not be generally equipped with Lee Enfield. The British government still has strict control over Lee Enfield. If it were not for the Boer War, then the southern African army would not have the opportunity to equip Lee Enfield.

General Laner was relatively new to Rugers and general-purpose machine guns.

Although Ruger has appeared, it has not yet attracted people's attention. The general-purpose machine gun has not appeared in front of the world at all. Only the newly formed [-]st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesia Division have equipment, so General Lana immediately pointed out that General-purpose Machine guns aroused great interest.

"The biggest advantage of the general-purpose machine gun is that most of the parts of the light machine gun and the heavy machine gun can be interchanged. In fact, the structure is the same. The one that uses a bipod is a light machine gun, and the one that uses a tripod is a heavy machine gun. This will greatly reduce the logistical pressure. It is convenient for troops to equip and use. The new First Cavalry Division has been equipped with general-purpose machine guns. During the counter-insurgency process in Natal, general-purpose machine guns performed well. We are recommending them to the Ministry of War. We hope that British troops can use this kind of machine gun all over the world. The most advanced machine gun." Rock strongly recommended, in other words, even the British army has not yet had time to equip general-purpose machine guns.

Of course, what Roque gave to General Lana was a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun. If General Lana wanted to get more, he had to place an order with Nyasaland Arsenal.

Looks like a chicken thief, doesn't it?

Don't say that, other people just place an order, but Rock still doesn't sell it.
