Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 703

Sometimes the so-called experience of businessmen really kills people.

In the traditional saying of businessmen, it is true to ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot, but it depends on who is being targeted.

With Rock's current status, simply talking about money alone is a bit out of the question, and sincerity is so little, it is inevitable that it is too much for others.

So when Chang Zimu was "politely" invited out of Nyasaland State Government, he realized what mistake he had made.

Then he wanted to increase the price, but there was no chance. Rock didn't have so much time to pretend.

"Didn't you always take care of the Chinese? Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd. is pretty good among Chinese companies, and it is still very valuable." Ada has been staying in Nyasaland during this time. De is not happy with Nyasaland's tax situation.

Since the arms race started in Europe, everyone knows that Nyasaland has made a lot of profits in the arms race, especially as the Nyasaland Aviation Group began to sell "Strong Wind" on a large scale, driving the Nyasaland Military Industry Group Its products are also selling well. Italy has just signed a 200 million pound arms contract with the Nyasaland Military Industry Group.

Not only weapons, Italians with romantic blood flowing in their bones are very fond of many products of Nyasaland, as well as the flashy and luxurious Ottoman royal family. In these two latest orders, cars, motorcycles, IT All kinds of luxury goods produced by North Africa, various foods produced by South African companies, even textiles produced by Johannesburg Textile Company, and various special medicines produced by Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company are all listed.

In this way, the problem arises. The federal government does not receive much tax revenue for these commodities exported by Nyasaland. Even the textiles of the Johannesburg Textile Company and the special medicines of the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company are also exported through Nyasaland. Ade must be very dissatisfied when he comes.

Ada is the current director of the State Administration of Taxation, so this task falls to Ada. If Nyasaland's tax revenue cannot reach a new level, it is estimated that Ada will be difficult to pay.

"It's just a company, maybe a larger company, but without greater ambitions and capabilities, it is of limited value after all, not to mention why do you think Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd. rushed to Nyasaland so urgently? A mere 150 million pounds can be used as a bet? Christian's investment in the East India is now more than 300 million." Rock doesn't like it, either because the money is too much or the structure is not enough.

In fact, as far as the situation in East India is concerned, if the Chinese in East India can be more bloody and courageous, it will be very difficult for the Dutch to maintain their colonial rule in East India.

So far, the Dutch colonial rule in East India has lasted for more than 200 years. The Chinese in East India once accounted for half of the population, but now it has dropped to one-fifth. Therefore, the Chinese in East India are indeed pitiful, but Poor people must have something to hate, but as long as the Chinese in East India can unite and be tough, they will not be slaughtered by others.

It is true that Rock is taking care of the Chinese, but medicine can cure diseases, and Buddha saves people with predestined relationship. It is really muddy that cannot be stuck on the wall, and Rock will not force others to make things difficult.

"Chang does not belong to the Huang family after all, and the decisions he can make are very limited. Even if the members of the Huang family are here, it will always take a process to make up their minds." Ada still tried her best, not only because of the hundred thousand pounds , with the help of the Huang family, the East India Company should be able to win faster.

After all, the focus of Rock's work is still in southern Africa, not in East India, thousands of miles away.

"Let's wait for the Huang family to come, but the Medan army should have launched an attack on Batavia by now. It may be too late for the Huang family to place their bets now." Rock sneered, according to the businessman's touch It should be very keen, if you can't make a correct judgment in time, then you can only wait for death.

To put it bluntly, the situation in East India is the subversion of the old vested interest groups by the new class. Now that Huang Zhonghan can serve as the "mayao", he belongs to the old vested interest class and the interests of the Medan army itself. It is contradictory.

What's more, now that the Huang family has such a powerful force in East India, if Roque easily accepts Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd., then it is foreseeable that after the war is over and the Dutch are driven away, the Huang family's The strength will further expand. Who can control Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd. in East India by then?

Based on Li Wan and Lexus alone, it is estimated that it will not work.

In East India, although Li Wan and Ling Zhi are also successful businessmen, the concept of "success" is definitely different from the "success" of the Huang family. Compared with Jianyuan Trading Co., Ltd., Li Wan and Ling Zhi's strength is probably equivalent. Therefore, there is no comparison between the strength of an ordinary farmer in Johannesburg and Viscount Nyasaland.

"Attacked?" Ada was surprised, the speed of the Medan army was indeed a bit fast.

"Yes." Rock smiled. Ada probably didn't understand the extent of the disarmament in East India.

It was indeed a disarmament. While Rock and Ada were chatting, Hicks was receiving prisoners outside Batavia.

It cannot be said that the Dutch did not work hard. In order to defend Batavia, the Dutch mobilized nearly [-] troops and erected an "iron wall" in Serang in an attempt to prevent the landing of Medan troops.

It's a pity that the Dutch troops didn't have artillery. Even if they had artillery, these colonial servants who enlisted hastily would not use it. The Far East Fleet was completely lost in the previous gap, so the Medan troops easily broke through the colonial servants. The defense line landed from Sereng, and within three days Hicks' troops took about [-] East Indian servants prisoners.

"This can't be called an army at all. They don't even have the most basic weapons. Look at what they are equipped with? What kind of knife is this? Expect this to compete with our general-purpose machine guns—" Middleton smoked a pipe Shaking his head again and again, he said that the tobacco in East India is quite good.

Because the army was formed in a hurry, the East India colonial government did not have enough weapons and armed forces, so many soldiers of the East India servant army actually used that kind of simple long knife, which made Middleton dumbfounded.

Mercenaries also have self-respect. It is good that the enemy is relatively weak, but if it is weak to a certain extent, it will make Middleton feel insulted.

It is true that the Umbrella was fought from Africa to the Near East, and then to the Far East. It is so contemptuous to send such troops to defend.

"Whatever the knife, how many people were caught this time?" Hicks didn't care about the enemy's equipment, only how many people were caught. These people can be sold to Andy without execution.

"I don't know, anyway, it's densely packed everywhere." Middleton said angrily.

"What's the matter, buddy? Be happy, we're making money again!" Hicks laughed loudly, and each prisoner was ten pounds.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious, the Dutch are so weak, why don't the East Indians resist?" Middleton really couldn't figure it out. During this period of time, as his understanding of East India continued to deepen, Middleton's doubts And more and more.

They are also Chinese. In southern Africa, the Chinese can be strong and brave, but in East India, the Chinese are weak and incompetent. This makes Middleton really puzzled.

"What's so strange, if there is no lord, what do you think we will be in southern Africa?" Hicks knows more about the history of Chinese in southern Africa, and his expression is also stern: "——When the lord just arrived in Johannesburg , some Chinese were rescued from a gold mine. Most of them were skinny, severely malnourished, and might die at any time. These people were sent to Mr. Buck's farm to recuperate. The Lord found a doctor for them. A lot of people still died, they died before dawn in Johannesburg, and since then, the Chinese have never been bullied in southern Africa."

"How do you know so clearly?" Middleton asked casually. In fact, this period of history is also described in the Nyasaland Museum, and Middleton has also visited it, but the impression left by the guide at that time was on Middleton. , certainly not as deep as Hicks.

Although the narrator is more vocal and emotional, as if he is on the scene.

"One of those miners was my father—" Hicks smiled, with tears in his eyes: "—so you know now, no matter what, I will not betray the lord, if one day the lord If I need to sacrifice my life, I will not hesitate!"

Middleton opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He could only pat Hicks on the shoulder vigorously, trying to comfort Hicks.

"Although I have no children, my younger brother has already married in Bechuanaland. My younger brother now has a son and a daughter. My younger brother and sister are pregnant again. There will be more children in the future. I bought a two thousand for my younger brother. The acre farm is 1 mu. My father and my younger brother are both living on the farm now, and they are planning to send their children to Bigwig Public School in the future. When I retire, even if I have no children, I My brother will also support me—" Hicks really has nothing to worry about, and the umbrella company doesn't know how many cases like Hicks have.

"I also asked my wife to buy a farm in Bechuanaland, and our two families will still be neighbors in the future." Middleton is not willing to part with the old man, otherwise Middleton should have returned to Nyasaland to reunite with his wife and children .

"Hahahaha, don't even think about it, my farm is in Rhodes City, you may not know it, all the farms around Rhodes City have been sold out, and you can't buy it now even if you spend money." Hicks was proud Yangyang, farms are always a scarce commodity.

"Then buy it in East India. Let's buy 1 acres each, plant sugar cane, coffee, and tobacco, and hire [-] East Indians to work for us." Middleton has ideals. It doesn't matter if there are no redundant farms in Southern Africa. There is still East India, and there will be more in the future.
