Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 556 Triangle

In fact, Neville Chamberlain is not the best person to represent Nyasaland products, Ada is.

Nyasaland’s products are indeed very popular in Europe. Ada has now set up a sales company in France to sell various products of Nyasaland to France. Among them, cars and medicines are the best sellers. In the meantime, Ada has sold goods worth millions of pounds to France, earning a lot of money.

Compared with Neville Chamberlain, Roque must be more inclined to Ada. After all, Ada has to earn money for Arthur to marry a wife and a dowry for his daughter. This should have been Roque's task in the first place.

Compared with cars and medicines, the weapons of Nyasaland Arsenal are also very distinctive. The British War Department has already contacted Nyasaland Arsenal, hoping to order general-purpose machine guns and super revolvers from Nyasaland Arsenal.

This is the advantage of Nyasaland staying in the Commonwealth. If Nyasaland is not in the Commonwealth, it is estimated that the Ministry of War will not pay for it. The super revolver is actually not a high-tech weapon, and it is very difficult to imitate it. Easy, if Nyasaland is no longer in the Commonwealth system, the Ministry of War will not spend this unjustly money.

Based on the current size of Nyasaland, even if the British Royal Small Arms Factory infringes the patent of Nyasaland Arsenal, I am afraid that Nyasaland Arsenal will not be able to get compensation, and the lawsuit will not win.

Speaking of lawsuits, some time ago, the patent dispute between the University of Paris and the University of Nyasaland has not yet been opened.

The Paris District Court refused to hear the patent dispute between the University of Paris and the University of Nyasaland on the pretext that the facts had not been investigated clearly.

The actual situation is very clear to everyone. Once the lawsuit is opened, the possibility of the University of Paris losing the case is very high, so I am afraid that it is not the intention of the Paris District Court, but the University of Paris. Once the lawsuit is lost, the reputation of the University of Paris will definitely be damaged. This is a heavy blow, so the University of Paris is now at a loss, and can only delay it.

Although Ada is the best choice, Rock will certainly not reject Neville Chamberlain.

The UK is still different from France. As an island country, although the UK is an "empire on which the sun never sets", it has always been separated from the European continent, and the relationship with the European continent is actually not good. Even if the current relationship between the UK, France, and Russia The alliance between the United Kingdom and France was also established because of objective interests, and it is not that the relationship between Britain and France is so good.

Therefore, there is no conflict between Ada's sales market and Neville Chamberlain's sales market. Ada's main market is in the European continent, while Neville Chamberlain's main market is the Commonwealth. Only in this way can the interests be maximized. Focus on product improvement and always maintain a leading position in the market.

This is not a problem at all. John Moses Browning has officially responded to Rock’s invitation. Although John Moses Browning said that he is currently living happily in Belgium and does not want to work in Nyasaland, John Moses Browning Moses Browning is willing to cooperate with Nyasaland Arsenal.

In order to show his sincerity, John Moses Browning authorized the production of his latest pistol design to the Nyasaland Arsenal. This is the future famous M1910 Browning pistol.

In 1914, Princip assassinated Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo, which triggered the First World War. At that time, Princip used the M1910 pistol.

Of course, what Rock hopes to get is the M1911. The high loading capacity and fast magazine of this semi-automatic pistol will soon become the design standard for future pistols. Until the 21st century, the design of pistols will be influenced by M1911.

In addition to pistols, Browning is also very talented in the field of heavy weapons design. For example, Browning developed a 1918mm large-caliber heavy machine gun at the request of the US military in 12.7, which is the future M2HB heavy machine gun. It is standard equipment in many countries.

In fact, it seems that Nyasaland Arsenal is also very talented. With Rock's help, Nyasaland's whimsical ideas are endless, not to mention super revolvers and general-purpose machine guns. On the basis of the M1900, the engineers changed automatic shooting to semi-automatic shooting, and at the same time expanded the arrangement of bullets in the magazine from single row to double row. This will also become the benchmark for pistol design in the future.

Otherwise, Browning would not cooperate with Nyasaland Arsenal.

Neville Chamberlain also took the initiative to seek cooperation with Nyasaland companies because of the strength and potential of a series of companies including Nyasaland Arsenal.

To put it bluntly, Neville Chamberlain still tasted the sweetness in the previous cooperation, so he is so enthusiastic now.

Rock, of course, also emphasized to Neville Chamberlain that Neville Chamberlain could not sell Nyasaland products to France. As for other parts of Europe, Rock would not interfere. Sell ​​as much as you want.

Neville Chamberlain also knew about the relationship between Roque and Ida. In the UK, Roque, Baron Nyasaland, and the Countess of France were also rumored to be in the sky. The British people seemed to be particularly interested in this kind of gossip, and even the Thames News Corporation's "The Sun" has joined the ranks of hype.

The needs of the readers are the bounden duty of the editor. As for whether it will affect the boss, the boss is not in London anyway.

The cooperation with Nyasaland in many business fields has somewhat diluted the estrangement caused by Tanganyika between Rock and Chamberlain brothers, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more enthusiastic. In the enthusiasm of Stoudemire and Henry, the Chamberlain brothers drank He got so drunk that he stayed overnight at Eagle Fort.

Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry were not sleepy, and Haoyue Dangkong was still chatting with great interest. Of course, the topic could not be separated from the newly established federal government.

"The Boers are really greedy and shameless, do you know how much money Orange has asked for to build Bloemfontein? It's £350 million, it's crazy, we were rebuilding Pretoria and Johannesburg It didn’t cost 350 million in total, and it’s estimated that Louis Botha planned to use the money to pave Bloemfontein—” Henry couldn’t help complaining, and cursed at the mention of the Boers.

Rock and Stoudemire were speechless. Henry didn't know much about the cost of rebuilding Pretoria and Johannesburg. Perhaps the cost of rebuilding Pretoria was indeed less than 350 million, but since Johannesburg was established, The funds spent have far exceeded 350 million.

Of course, not all the money was paid by the Transvaal Governor's Mansion at the time, most of it was raised by the Johannesburg Mining Union, so Stoudemire knew so clearly.

As for the rebuilding of Bloemfontein, Rock doesn't know how much money is needed, but since the end of the Boer War, the British government has given Orange more than 350 yuan in financial support, even if the money given by the British government also includes the resettlement of the Boers. part, but surely there is more than enough left over to rebuild Bloemfontein.

But so far, Bloemfontein is still devastated, the city is full of ruins, and the ground is uneven. Rock does not know where the money given by the British government has been spent. Accounts are many.

It is considered that the Orange officials are smart and dare not deposit money in the Rand Bank, otherwise Rock will definitely reveal the data, and a lot of people will be in trouble by then.

"Yang Smother's bitch also proposed that the population can move freely within the federal government. This guy just hopes that the Boers can freely enter the Transvaal and then settle in the Transvaal, thereby affecting the development of the Transvaal. Ballots, I'm going to fuck—" Henry probably drank a little too much, and his words became more and more exaggerated.

"It's not a bad thing—" Rock interrupted suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Henry was at a loss, and Stoudemire was also puzzled.

"The free flow of population not only means that the Boers can go to the Transvaal, but also means that the British and Chinese can go to Orange freely. Don't forget that the farm prices in the Transvaal are much higher than those in Orange. Farm prices, and the farms in the Transvaal have been snapped up. Even if the Boers go to the Transvaal, they can only work on the farms, which will not affect the current situation in the Transvaal at all, but once the British Americans and Chinese Americans entered Orange, hehe—" Rock ended with a sneer, and the meaning in his words was obvious.

In the final analysis, it is capital forces that can play a key role in votes. Ordinary personal behavior has an extremely limited effect on votes.

There will be so many "poor whites" in southern Africa in the future, and there are actually signs of it now. There are many "poor whites" in Orange. They have no skills, their families are poor, and they have no ability to support themselves. to survive.

This kind of people will not affect votes when and where they go. Even if they have no tax payment records, they don't even have the right to vote.

"Lock, why don't we form a group to buy farms in Orange—" Stoudemire suddenly discovered a business opportunity.

Most of the farms in Orange are still undeveloped, or the speed of development is very slow, and the farms do not have much additional property, so the price is extremely low compared with the farms in the Transvaal.

But there is a bottom line to this low price. The low price compared to farms in the Transvaal does not mean that ordinary people can easily afford it.

Therefore, in order to acquire the farm, only powerful capitalists like Roque and Stoudemire can play a decisive role.

"Good idea, the two of us form a company, and start buying farms in Orange now—" Rock's interest in the land will not decrease no matter when.

"Hey, hello, what do you two mean?" Henry was dissatisfied immediately when he found himself excluded.

Rock and Stoudemire looked at each other and smiled. Of course, they would not abandon Henry. The triangle is the most stable structure.
