Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 513 Escort

There is already a Mrs. Capet Museum in Little Rock, which was built by Ida just by the name. Christian is also going to donate a museum now. Rock is of course welcome. Although the museum will not be open for free, but for Xuanji City Rock's cultural background is a great improvement. Rock also has plans to build large-scale cultural buildings in Little Rock, Xuanji City, and even Port Edward. Museums, libraries, theaters, and cinemas, adding this type of cultural facilities are better than bars. Blooming everywhere is strong.

It is true that the British are too traditional in terms of bars. Ida used to run bars in Cape Town, and Nyasaland was inevitably affected in this regard. Table Mountain Bar and Oak Tree Bar have long been Branches opened in Little Rock and Port Edward, and others followed suit. Little Rock and Port Edward now have so-called "bar streets" and "food streets". Rock doesn't want to see Chinese people more immersed in alcohol and In terms of food, we still need to think more about culture.

The work in this area is only done by Rock. Anton's understanding of the city's functions is not deep enough. Fortunately, Ada and Christian can help a little bit, otherwise Rock would not be busy even if he has three heads and six arms. finish these things.

Ada was not at ease raising her baby in France. The situation in France was a bit chaotic during this period, and it was almost on the verge of war with Germany. Ada was inevitably affected in Paris.

The confusion in France stems from the first Moroccan crisis.

Morocco is the traditional sphere of influence of France. Two years ago, Britain and France reached a sincere agreement. France recognized Britain's privileges in Egypt, and Britain recognized France's rights in Morocco. France tried to turn Morocco into a French protectorate at that time, but was met with Strong opposition from Germany.

At the moment in 1906, there were very few colonies left in the world. Germany’s national strength was developing rapidly, but there were no huge colonies that matched its national strength. Therefore, Kaiser Wilhelm II was very dissatisfied. He visited Morocco last March and expressed his support clearly. Morocco became independent, which caused strong dissatisfaction in France.

With British support, French Foreign Minister Théophile Delcase advocated a protectorate in Morocco and urged the government to take a tough stance.

However, the French three-level conference was afraid that this move would trigger another war between France and Germany, so it opposed Théophile Delcase and forced Theophile Delcase to step down.

After Delcasse stepped down, the moderate French Prime Minister Maurice Rouvier served as foreign minister. However, Maurice Rouvier's attitude remained tough. France and Germany respectively transferred troops to the border in December last year, and the war was imminent.

In January this year, under the mediation of US President Theodore Roosevelt, Germany and France agreed to convene the Algeciras Conference attended by [-] countries to resolve the Morocco issue peacefully.

All the participating countries, except Austria-Hungary supported Germany, other countries overwhelmingly supported France. The isolation of Germany made Germany pursue a more ambitious foreign policy, and the conflict with the results of the meeting was also very serious. This is the second time in the future. The crisis in Morocco sowed the seeds of disaster.

The current situation in Paris is full of rumors. There are rumors that France and Germany are preparing for war. However, the failure in the Franco-Prussian War a few years ago has brought a psychological shadow to many French people. Many people worry that France will be defeated again, so this There are indeed a lot of people who fled France for a while.

Roque actually doesn't like these deserters. In Roque's view, anyone who faces the threat of war in the country and flees from his own country is actually not worthy of sympathy. But in this situation, Roque is happy to see the success. A lecturer from the University of Paris accepted a short-term invitation from Nyasaland University to come to Nyasaland University for academic exchanges.

Academic exchanges are a new method used by Nyasaland to attract talents. Academic exchanges are actually quite normal among European countries. Talent exchanges between various countries are very frequent. It is normal for British people to work in France, and many French people I would also choose to go to Germany for living, so it is no problem to travel from Europe to Nyasaland. After all, Nyasaland will pay all the expenses and will pay the corresponding remuneration, so Nyasaland often holds various academic exchanges now.

Once those European experts and professors arrived in Nyasaland, they would be shocked by the speed of Nyasaland's development. Even if one out of ten wanted to stay, it would still be profitable for Nyasaland.

It was under such circumstances that Alan Milton came to Nyasaland.

Alan Milton is a lecturer at the University of Paris. Because of the regulations of the University of Paris, Alan Milton was still an ordinary lecturer until he was nearly half a century old. He was promoted to a professor in no time, so after arriving in Nyasaland, Alan Milton was attracted by the regulations of Nyasaland University. According to Alan Milton's work experience, as long as Alan Milton is willing to work at Nyasaland University, then Alan Milton will immediately You can become a tenured professor, whether it is salary or living environment, compared with Paris, there will be a qualitative improvement immediately.

Rock is very generous towards ordinary immigrants, not to mention these high-level talents. The salary and treatment are top-notch, and the living environment is even better. Xuanji City is on the shore of Xuanji Lake, and the lake view villa is still very good. The prisoners of war in Tal have contributed a lot. The road around the lake has been repaired by more than half, and the cost is only about one-third compared with Johannesburg. Rock is simply very relaxed and happy.

Alan Milton mainly taught engineering mechanics at the University of Paris. After arriving in Nyasaland, Alan Milton became very interested in diesel engines, so he joined Rudolf Diesel's research institute to conduct research on the performance of diesel engines. Improve and improve.

There are more than a dozen researchers in Rudolf Diesel's research institute who are in a similar situation to Alan Milton. Most of them are German or French. Although the relationship between these two countries is very bad now, they There is no fundamental contradiction in Nyasaland, and the relationship is fairly harmonious.

Rudolf Diesel also knew how to behave. He would hold banquets inside the institute every few days. After several banquets, the relationship between the members of the institute became more and more harmonious.

In mid-July, Rock also participated in a banquet held inside the institute and tasted the legendary "scientific dinner".

In fact, it is a very simple dish, but because it is related to the research institute, it is jokingly called a "scientific dinner".

Rudolph Diesel introduced the situation of Alan Milton to Rock. Recently, Alan Milton encountered some troubles. The University of Paris did not agree with Alan Milton's resignation application. It is said that A lawsuit has been filed with the Paris District Court, demanding Alan Milton to compensate for the losses caused to the University of Paris because of his resignation.

"Allen has always liked to study machinery. In terms of engines, Allen has a lot of research. He has several important inventions and related patents. These patents did not have much effect at the University of Paris, because the University of Paris did not The ability to put the research results into practical use, as a result, two important patents of Allen are now applied to our newly developed diesel engine, so the University of Paris now requires patent sharing and requires us to pay the relevant patent fees." Rudolph Diesel's introduction is not very detailed, but it does not affect Rock's understanding.

In fact, it is a very simple patent dispute. When there was no benefit in the past, the University of Paris probably would not have cared about the research results of Alan Milton at all. Now that these patents have begun to generate benefits, the University of Paris has begun to jump out to pick peaches.

"Did these studies be carried out during work?" Rock didn't have an engineering background, so he didn't quite understand the relationship between engineering mechanics and engines.

"I can't say it doesn't matter. After all, I applied for these patents while I was working at the University of Paris, but these patents have little to do with the University of Paris. During my research, the University of Paris did not provide any help to my research. Even during my research, the University of Paris prohibited me from conducting research in this area because it was worried that it would affect teaching—" Alan Milton was also very wronged, the eating at the University of Paris was a bit ugly, this is probably Alan Milton The root reason for coming to Nyasaland.

In Nyasaland, this problem basically does not exist.

Rock has a strong financial strength in his hands. If the professors of Nyasaland University apply for relevant patents during their work, even if they cannot be applied to existing enterprises, Nyasaland University will organize staff to sell the research results. In the end, the developer himself can also get enough benefits.

Professor Abu in Johannesburg is the best example. Through the research on Baiyao and penicillin, Professor Abu’s research institute has received rich remuneration, and all participating R&D personnel have benefited from it. Even if Professor Abu retires now, with these two research results, Abu The professor will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life, and he will soon accumulate a large fortune.

Rock encourages all scientific research behaviors. Although Professor Abu's research on Baiyao and penicillin is the project given by Rock, but Rock is not greedy for Professor Abu's income. Rock doesn't like his little money. Compared with the selling prices of Baiyao and penicillin, the patent fee is only less than one percent.

"Then don't worry. If the University of Paris wants to file a lawsuit, the University of Nyasaland will accompany it to the end. I will hire a team of lawyers and the University of Paris to fight the lawsuit to the end. I will definitely protect the interests of the Nyasaland people unconditionally." Rock takes care of everything, and it is Rock's job to escort scientific researchers, and Rock is duty bound.

As for the legal team, there is no need for Roque to worry about it. As long as Roque is willing to pay, there are not too many lawyers who are willing to work for Roque. As for whether the lawsuit is just——

Not many people care about this.
