Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 530 Decoration

Nyasaland is not yet qualified to pick and choose talents, so as long as there are people who are willing to immigrate to Nyasaland, Rock will accept them all.

There have been thousands of Europeans who have come to Nyasaland in the past two years. The quality of these people must be mixed, including some professors at Nyasaland University. it is good.

For what happened before, Roque can not ask at all, but since these people come to Nyasaland, they must abide by the relevant regulations of Nyasaland, otherwise Roque will definitely not tolerate it. , When it is time to bear legal responsibility, don't think that Roque will show mercy outside the law.

While Bilov was in Nyasaland, friction in the North Sea continued.

In mid-January, the Weissmann seized a fishing boat in the North Sea that was fishing across the border. Unfortunately, the fishing boat belonged to the Rhodesia Fisheries Company.

The Rhodesia Aquatic Company is owned by Stoudemire, so Stoudemire rushed to Little Rock the next day to express the strongest protest to Bilov in person, not only asking the Tanganyika water police to release the detained fishing boat immediately, but also Tanganyika police are also required to compensate Rhodesia Aquatic Products for the losses caused by the seizure of the fishing boat, and Tanganyika police are required to guarantee that similar situations will not happen again in the future.

"Do you think Bilov will agree to these demands?" Rock doesn't really believe that Stoudemire can subdue Bilov. Anyway, Bilov is also Germany's Minister of Foreign Affairs, and every word and deed represents Germany. Bilov accepted these requests from Stoudemire, and I am afraid that Bilov will not be able to explain it after returning to Germany.

"Mr. Bilov probably won't agree, but this doesn't prevent me from making a request. Just pay back the money on the spot if you ask for a lot of money. How to solve the matter can be discussed slowly. You must first have the attitude of solving the problem." Stoudemire Don't worry, these demands of his are close to blackmail, and he was wronged in the first place, but now he bites back, Bilov let Stoudemire enter the door, and he is already doing the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes a lot of face.

In fact, Stoudemire deserves it. As a qualified capitalist, Stoudemire does not have the awareness of sustainable development like Rock. The aquatic product company under the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company has regulations on the mesh size of fishing nets. Prevent destructive fishing.

Stoudemire did not have this awareness. One of the leading products of the Rhodesia Canning Company is canned whitebait from Lake Niassa. This kind of whitebait is small but delicious. It is very popular and it sells very well in Europe.

In order to catch as much whitebait as possible, Rhodesia Fisheries used the legendary extinct net in Lake Niassa before.

Soon, the Nyasaland Marine Police noticed this situation, and then imposed administrative penalties on the Rhodesian Aquatic Company, and strictly prohibited the Rhodesian Aquatic Company from fishing with fishing nets that are too small.

So the Rhodesian Aquatic Products Company shifted its target to the North Sea, which also has this kind of whitebait, and because of the warning of the Nyasaland Marine Police, the Rhodesian Aquatic Products Company did not dare to use the net in the waters on the Nyasaland side. , you can only go to the waters of Tanganyika secretly and use the net to fish.

So Rock didn't pity Stoudemire at all, he deserved it!

The Tanganyika Marine Police better be tougher and punish Stoudemire with his fortune—

It is impossible to go bankrupt, and at that point, Rock will certainly not sit idly by.

"I suggest you just forget it, honestly go to Tanganyika to pay the fine, and then redeem the boat. By the way, are there any Chinese employees on board?" Rock suddenly thought of a very serious matter, Rhodes West Asia Aquatic Products Company has many Chinese employees.

"What do you think, otherwise you think why I came to you." Xiao Si looked calm, and he was sure that Roque would not ignore him, so he came to Roque.

Rock hated him so much that he no longer cared about Stoudemire's nonsense, and went directly to Bilov, hoping to redeem him through Bilov.

As a result, Bilov still put on airs. He spent a lot of money before but didn't get what he wanted. Now Bilov will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"Is there such a thing? Well, let me investigate the situation first. You know, my lord. I have been in Nyasaland during this time. I don't know what happened to Lake Tanganyika, but if there is really When this kind of thing happens, I believe that the Tanganyika Marine Police will deal with it fairly." Bilov was so proud that he almost said that you also have today.

"Well, you can take your time to investigate. I only have one request. No matter what mistakes Rhodesia Aquatic Products has made, the crew are innocent. I ask the Tanganyika police to deal with them fairly and ensure that they are in the tank. It is very important to be safe during Gnicker." Rock emphasized that if something unbearable happens, then Rock will definitely take revenge.

Bilov realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, and immediately sent a telegram to Tanganyika.

It was already too late. On the night when the fishing boat of the Rhodesia Fisheries Company was seized, the captain and twelve sailors on board were all taken to Tanganyika.

The captain is of British origin, and among the twelve sailors, eight are Chinese.

It's only been two days until today. In these two days, the British captain and other white crew members were fine, but a Chinese sailor died of illness.

The problem is serious.

The so-called "death due to illness" must be an excuse. Under the influence of Kaiser Wilhelm II, ordinary Germans were not friendly to the Chinese. It is obvious that those Chinese sailors were treated inhumanely in Tanganyika, that is, Rock The intervention was timely enough. If it drags on for a few more days, it is hard to say whether any Chinese sailors will be able to return to Nyasaland alive.

Even if Stoudemire doesn't bother this time, Rock will not let this matter go easily.

"I'm sorry, my lord. We didn't expect that the matter would be so serious. We don't want to see such a thing happen. Governor Leutwein is very angry and has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. He will definitely be strict. Punish the parties involved, and give reasonable compensation to the families of the sailors who unfortunately died.” Bilov didn’t expect that the matter would turn to such a point. Originally, Bilov wanted to use this to blackmail Roque, but he didn’t expect this to happen. As a matter of fact, Bilov and Tanganyika were immediately at a disadvantage.

One thing to emphasize is that all the Chinese in Nyasaland are now British nationals, so in this case, it is likely that a British citizen was tortured to death by the German police.

So this is no longer a simple friction, but a diplomatic incident that may seriously affect the relationship between the two countries.

Because the consequences of this incident may be beyond the control of Roque and Bilov, so Bilov can only hope that Roque can take the overall situation into consideration, and consider the relationship between Britain and Germany. Make a big fuss.

Rock will not be concerned about these issues. For Rock, the worse the relationship between Britain and Germany, the better. It is best to start World War I tomorrow, so that Rock can profit from it.

So Rock's attitude is extremely tough: "As the Baron of Nyasaland, I must be responsible for everyone in the Baron of Nyasaland, Mr. Bilov, I must remind you again that the seriousness of this matter may It's beyond your imagination, if the result of Governor Leutwein's handling is not satisfactory to me, then the relationship between Nyasaland and Tanganyika will deteriorate in an all-round way. I can assure you that the result will be Neither you nor I want to see."

Rock threatened Bilov without any scruples. This is not Rock's bragging. Compared with the overall strength of Germany, Nyasaland is indeed very weak, but what Nyasaland has to face is Tanganyika. This way the pressure on Nyasaland will be much less and all the pressure will be on Tanganyika's side.

This is also the principle of reciprocity of power. Of course Germany can provide support to Tanganyika, and the UK will certainly not sit idly by, not to mention whether the German "existence fleet" has the ability to drive the fleet to Nigeria. It's really hard to say that Saran is here. The Germans really want to send a fleet over with great fanfare, and it is estimated that they will not even be able to cross the English Channel.

"Give me some time, Lord Nyasaland, of course I know that you are serious and responsible for the Barony of Nyasaland, and please trust the justice of Governor Leutwein. In short, I will definitely give you a perfect Deal with the results." Although Bilov was sincere, he couldn't resonate with Rock, no matter what Governor Leutwein did now, the dead could not be brought back to life.

Leutwein previously served as the governor of German Southwest Africa and was just transferred to Tanganyika last year as the governor of Tanganyika.

During his tenure as Governor of Southwest Africa in Germany, Rock and Leutwein did not deal with each other. Rock still remembers that when Father Frank’s church was built, Governor Leutwein sent people to congratulate him. Rock and Leutwein had no conflict of interest, so Rock and Leutwein had no direct dealings.

In the future, Rock will definitely have the opportunity to deal with Leutwein. The governor of the German colony is also changed every five years, and sometimes he will be re-elected twice. Tanganyika borders Nyasaland, and there are many The conflict of interests, this incident was a wake-up call for Rock and Leutwein. If you don’t pay attention in the future, there will be more and more similar problems. Sooner or later, Nyasaland and Tanger will be forced to Nika met with soldiers.

In fact, Rock has already begun to prepare for revenge. The Nyasaland marine police have been dispatched almost all over the North Sea these days, looking for the Weissman everywhere. If a marine police ship encounters the Weissman again this time, Then it is probably impossible for the Weissman to pass the test easily.

It is estimated that Leutwein also knows that these few days are more dangerous, so the Weissmann has not left the port during this period, and is parked at the berth of Usumbra every day. Standard decoration.
