Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 706 Gold

In Nyasaland, you can unscrupulously spread the love affairs of King George V, you can unscrupulously evaluate the governing ability of the federal government Prime Minister Adelaide, and even openly question the administrative efficiency of the Nyasaland government. The only thing that cannot be slandered It was Viscount Nyasaland.

Although Nyasaland is nominally part of southern Africa, Rock's prestige in Nyasaland is unparalleled. The federal government, the British Empire, and even the British royal family are not as prestigious as Rock's reputation in Nyasaland , anyone who dares to disrespect Roque in public, even if it is only verbal disrespect, will be hostile by all Nyasalandians.

What's more, Little Rock is also the seat of the government of Nyasaland State, and the city is named after "Lock". All the residents of Little Rock can see the mountain on the outskirts of Nyasaland as long as they look up. Eagle Fort, compared with five years ago, the current Little Rock City has nearly tripled in size, but Eagle Fort is still located on the outskirts of Little Rock City, and even the city planning deliberately avoided the area of ​​Eagle Fort.

What's more, the Oak Bar was originally Ada's property, and the relationship between Ida and Rock is well known in southern Africa, so these Chinese Americans were thrown into Brad's house without knowing what happened. The secret prison of the office.

"It's just a nonsense, hurry up and get him out, and send him to Mrs. Capet's Hotel for a proper resettlement. Your Brad's office is really amazing." When Anton knew about this, he was devastated immediately, but he didn't know how to blame him. Whoever, had to take it out on Xia Jiu, the person in charge of Brad's office.

Xia Jiu was just transferred to Brad's office at the beginning of this year. Southern Africa has actually made great breakthroughs in prosthetics. At least Xia Jiu can be equipped with a more convenient prosthetic, but Xia Jiu doesn't want to change it. It became a part of Xia Jiu's body, without the iron hook, Xia Jiu would be very uncomfortable.

"There's nothing serious about Brad's office, we're just fulfilling our own accusations." Xia Jiu was neither soft nor hard-nosed, and beside Rock, Xia Jiu's qualifications were actually not much worse than Anton's, not as good as that of Anton's. Anton Martin is at least on the same level as Bucksam.

Anton is now turning to politics, serving as Governor of Nyasaland, Martin is a duck to water in the military, Buck is Lieutenant Governor of Transvaal, vice-chairman of the Liberal Party Committee, Roque's number one spokesperson in the federal government, and Sam is the umbrella company's The general manager and members of Congress in Southern Africa are all powerful figures in their own right.

"Old Jiu, don't blame me for not reminding you, they are very important to the lord." Anton could still hold back his temper, the old brothers are all qualified, and the working method should not be too rough.

"What's so important, these people have been in Nyasaland for more than half a month, and I haven't seen them have any serious business except drinking and asking for money—" Xia Jiu disagreed, obviously the American way of life is not suitable southern africa.

"Stop talking nonsense, people are people who do big things, let them go quickly." Anton doesn't talk nonsense, the bird knows the ambitions of the big swan, and in Rock's words, better rest is for better work.

"They have earned 15 rand in Nyasaland during this period, and they are planning to go to the Transvaal next time. They are making fools of us Chinese in southern Africa." Xia Jiu's attitude was a bit fierce.

"It's called fundraising, not cheating money." Anton actually admires those Americans, including the Chinese in southern Africa. Most Chinese will embrace their new life with enthusiasm after immigrating, and few people will Take the initiative to do something for the Chinese in Qing Dynasty.

Even Roque, who has been transporting grain to the Qing Dynasty all these years, is actually serving the immigrants in the end.

"It's nothing but a liar. You are the governor and no one dares to lie to you. We have dealt with a lot of liars." Xia Jiu still resisted. The same sentence, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. It's not that Rock has risen so fast, maybe everyone is still cheating people with a broken bowl on the pier in Cape Town.

"Old Jiu, let you give up everything you have now and return to the Qing Dynasty to rebel and overthrow the Qing government, are you willing?" Anton put himself in the situation and asked himself that he couldn't do it.

"Why?" Xia Jiu immediately frowned.

"That's it, let him go." Anton stopped reasoning.

"Aren't they liars?" Xia Jiu was dubious.

"no!"

"If they are not liars, I will offer wine to apologize and donate their salary for another year." Xia Jiu is not unreasonable. As the person in charge of Brad's office, Xia Jiu's salary is still very high, 1500 per year rand.

Looking back, Rock was not stingy either.

However, Roque did not donate money, but gave a batch of weapons. Compared with cash, weapons can solve urgent needs better.

Originally, Roque wanted to meet those Americans and talk to them about how to overthrow the rule of the Qing government faster, but on the night of July 30th, miners in a gold mine in Johannesburg rioted, and Roque hurried to Johannesburg , put this matter behind.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you see it or not. With the intervention of the Umbrella Company, it is not difficult to overthrow the rule of the Qing government. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are experts in this regard.

When the train passed through Salisbury, Stoudemire also boarded the train and went to Johannesburg with Rock.

"The gold mine where the riot happened is called Marcellus. It was just changed to this name last year. The new owner seems to be French. The manager of this gold mine is in a daze. What kind of democratic policy is being implemented in the mine? A labor union was established, but the workers went on strike as soon as the union was established, and Aiden and the manager went to negotiate terms with the workers, but they were detained by the workers, and now the miners close the mine, threatening to blow up the mine if they don’t agree to their terms.” Stoudemire is the president of the Johannesburg Mining Union. When this happened, Stoudemire is duty-bound.

"The French have lost their minds in the election. If this continues, the manager of the mine may also be elected." Rock still doesn't know whether this matter has anything to do with the members of the Orange. Johannesburg will learn about the relevant situation later.

"Aiden is also in a daze. He directly sent the military and police into the field. Anyone who dared to resist was shot. There was no trouble at all. Now that he is fine, he took the initiative to send him to the door as a hostage. He deserved his death." Aiden is the secretary-general of the Mining Union. , Stoudemire is not in Johannesburg all year round, and Aiden is in charge of the specific affairs of the Mining Alliance.

Rock is speechless. If the manager of the mine is naive, he just arrived in Johannesburg and doesn’t know the situation in Johannesburg, then Aiden can be regarded as a native of southern Africa. He has worked in Johannesburg for many years, and he really shouldn’t make such a mistake. .

The train was speeding all the way, and Owen and Sidney Milner also got on the train when passing through Pretoria. It was already August 48st when they arrived in Johannesburg. At this time, it had been more than [-] hours since Aiden was detained.

The person who came to pick him up was Johannesburg Police Chief Gothe. As soon as Rock saw Gothe, he covered his head and face: "How could it be like this?"

The gold in Johannesburg is very important to both southern Africa and the British government. Southern Africa needs the gold in Johannesburg to provide development funds, and the British government needs the gold in Johannesburg to stabilize the gold content of the pound, so London and Pretoria are very concerned.

"It happened a little suddenly. Last month, the mine and the umbrella company terminated the security contract. The mine organized its own security personnel. I reminded Black at that time." Gothe's eyes flickered a little, and Rock immediately understood that it should be It's something else.

After the establishment of the Umbrella Company, it took over almost all the security work of the Johannesburg mines. Over the years, no similar incidents have occurred in the Johannesburg mines, so some people think that the money made by the Umbrella Company is too easy.

Terminating a contract is like breaking a dike. Once you open your mouth and don’t cause an accident, then more and more mines and umbrella companies will terminate their contracts, so it’s really hard to tell the inside story of this matter. , maybe there is also the deliberate connivance of the umbrella company and the Johannesburg Police Department, otherwise there would be no such big trouble.

Rock was also busy with work during this time, ignoring Johannesburg, so Rock just glanced at Gothe lightly, and then got into the same car with Sidney Milner.

"It won't have anything to do with the umbrella company." Sidney Milner is not stupid.

"There should be no direct relationship." Rock said frankly that he and Sidney Milner had long formed a community of interests. If something happened, Rock and Sidney Milner should join forces to suppress the matter.

"The production of gold cannot be affected." Sidney Milner asked, which is why Ade sent Sidney Milner over.

"No." Rock said decisively. The gold production in Johannesburg has always been above the standard line. There are dozens of gold mines in the Rand mining area. If one or two stop production, it will not have much impact on the whole.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Sidney Milner was curious.

"What should be caught, what should be killed, some people's hands are too long." Rock is decisive. Now everyone knows that Johannesburg has a lot of gold, and capitalists all over the world want to take a share, except for the French. , and now there is another Anglo-American mining company also acquiring gold mines in Johannesburg, and has now acquired three.

This Anglo-American mining company is not the same as the Anglo-American Petroleum Company on the peninsula, but the capital behind it is all large companies in the United Kingdom and the United States.

"Pay attention to the impact. The gold in our southern Africa still belongs to our southern Africa." Sidney Milner also has his own calculations.

"Don't worry, just wait—" Rock knew what Sidney Milner meant, this was a gold mine, a lucrative business, everyone wanted it.
