Chapter 762 Grenade

Joseph Quiller finally saw Rock again in Arder's office when the first child was aboard the Xuanwu.

"Hello, Mr. Quiller—" Rock ignored Joseph Quiller's angry eyes, and greeted him calmly.

"Minister Locke, I'm not good, very bad." Joseph Queller was full of resentment. If the previous rebellion was still under control, the situation in the Congo Free State is now completely out of control. Belgium has issued a mobilization order calling for The Belgians armed themselves to defend the Congo Free State, but there were few responders in Belgium.

The Belgians cannot be blamed for being selfish. The Congo Free State was originally the private domain of Leopold II. Although it is now under the jurisdiction of the Belgian government, it still has nothing to do with ordinary Belgians. Most ordinary Belgians did not come from the Congo Free State. benefit, so they really don't care about the rebellion in the Congo Free State, a lot of Belgians don't even know where the Congo Free State is.

"Understood, if the flames of war in Nyasaland are everywhere, then I will not be in a good mood." Rock didn't care about Joseph Quiller's mood. If he didn't die, he wouldn't die. It's a pity that many people don't understand this truth.

"Joseph, calm down, anger can't solve any problems." Ade is also very helpless, this is not an attitude of begging for mercy.

No matter how angry Joseph Queller is, the actual situation now is that if the Belgian government does not give Rock a satisfactory answer, then the Belgian government may really lose the Congo Free State, just like the previous Portuguese East Africa.

Ade really couldn't figure it out, it was an obvious fact, but why some people couldn't accept it.

In fact, it is also understandable. After all, the rebellion did not happen in southern Africa. Of course, Ade is not worried. Just like Roque said, if the rebellion happened in Nyasaland, then Roque would be in a bad mood.

"Minister Locke, it will take time even to track down the murderer." Joseph Queller took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"It doesn't matter. The family of the Chinese shopkeeper who was killed in Antwerp is your Belgian. It has nothing to do with me. Don't mention this matter again." , you can only put in diplomatic efforts. If it were replaced by Britain, the Boer War would not be over for long.

"Minister Locke, you and the UK also participated in the Berlin Conference—" Joseph Queller still talked about the Berlin Conference.

"When the Berlin Conference was held, Southern Africa hadn't been established yet." Rock didn't care. The Berlin Conference had already happened in the last century, and it couldn't be said for a lifetime.

"Isn't Southern Africa part of the United Kingdom?" Joseph Queller thought he had caught Rock's pain point.

"Yes--"

"Then why do you want to destroy the resolutions of the Berlin Conference?"

"We didn't—" Rock said sternly, this question cannot be vague, and Southern Africa did not send troops to the Congo Free State. The rebellion in the Congo Free State is a problem of the Belgians themselves, and has nothing to do with Southern Africa.

Joseph Queller finally realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. The current practice in southern Africa is different from the colonial behavior of all previous countries. Joseph Queller knew that Rock must have something to do with the rebellion in the Congo Free State. But he couldn't blame Roque.

The starting point of all the accusations is based on the premise that Rock intervened in the Congo Free State. The problem is that Joseph Queller has no evidence, so all the starting points are actually untenable.

"Minister Locke, I have to say that you have made a very bad demonstration, which will lead to the destruction of our civilization system established for hundreds of years-" Joseph Quiller is still working hard.

"No, it was only the Congo Free State that was destroyed. Mr. Queller, I know you can't accept this reality, but in fact you also know very well that the wheel of history is irreversible. The Portuguese rule in East Africa has ended, and the Dutch rule in the East Indies Colonial rule has also collapsed. If the rebellion in the Congo Free State happened in southern Africa, then I can guarantee that it will be completely subsided within a week. Strength is the only guarantee for safeguarding national interests, not a conference. It was decided that we in southern Africa certainly recognize the validity of the Berlin Conference. The problem now is that the Africans in the Congo Free State do not recognize it, so what you have to do is to find a way to persuade those Africans to continue to accept your rule, instead of going to the national defense every day Please wait for me." Rock sincerely does not suggest that Joseph Quiller do these useless efforts again, and there was a rebellion in Natal, which was put down by Rock himself, so Rock has a great say on this issue.

Joseph Queller was in a daze when he left, and felt that he had aged decades in an instant.

Rock didn't care, Ade looked at Joseph Quiller's back with complicated eyes.

Rock was right, the last era was indeed over.

"We offended Joseph Queller badly this time—" Ade actually didn't feel much empathy, the decision of the Berlin Conference was indeed unreasonable, and countries such as Britain, France and the United States had long been concerned about the Congo Free State and the Portuguese East and West. This area is salivating, but it is a pity that no one has ever used this method before Rock. In this sense, Rock is indeed a genius.

"What does it matter? At most we don't buy Belgian chocolate." Rock doesn't care. Compared with chocolate, southern Africa and Belgium are at odds, which may have a certain impact on the cooperation between Nyasaland Military Industry Group and FN Company, but The impact will not be too great. Although Roque is not a gun designer, Roque knows the development trend of weapons. This is the biggest reliance of Nyasaland Military Industrial Group.

"Ha, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance, and say hello to Phyllis and the children for me." Ade is now very grateful that Rock is from southern Africa.

There is a question that is very scary to think about. If Roque hadn’t come to southern Africa, then there would not be so many Chinese in southern Africa. Then southern Africa would have to rely on African labor as before, let alone the current industrial situation, or Become the origin of raw materials in the UK.

In that case, if southern Africa also encounters the same rebellion as the Congo Free State, perhaps with the assistance of the United Kingdom, the situation in southern Africa can still be maintained, but it must be a world of difference compared to now.

Leaving the Palace of Justice, there are lights and festoons around the church square, and there is a strong festive atmosphere everywhere.

In fact, Christmas is not far from the Chinese Lunar New Year. In Cape Town, it occasionally snows in winter, but Pretoria has no snow all year round. January is the hottest month and July is the coolest, but it is not too cold. Therefore, it is difficult to find the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in southern Africa. Some Chinese simply mix the two festivals of Christmas and Chinese New Year. The white people celebrate Christmas, and the Chinese celebrate the Chinese New Year. The atmosphere is also harmonious.

So now Pretoria is very magical. Many people on the street wear Christmas hats, Santa Claus is posted on the shop windows, and New Year pictures are pasted on the doors of many families. Needless to say, this must be a Chinese family.

In Pretoria, the number of Chinese and whites is almost half and half, but the farms around Pretoria are dominated by Chinese farmers, and at least 80.00% of the farms are owned by Chinese farmers.

"My lord, do you want to go home now?" Angie asked for Rock's arrangement.

"Hey, what are your plans for the evening?" Rock cared about An Qi. Barton's home is in Pretoria, and he can go home for Christmas Eve. Angie's home is in Little Rock, although Anton is in Pretoria. I bought a house for Angie, but there is only one person in the family, it is too deserted.

"I've made an appointment with some classmates from Nyasaland University, and we're going to get together tonight." Angie has arrangements, and her life is very colorful.

Rock didn't interfere in the lives of young people, and he didn't forget to remind An Qi to drink less.

On Christmas Eve, the church square was very lively, many citizens were walking in the square, and there were also many people in front of the Palace of Justice.

Rock's current car is the same as Ade's. It is refitted from an armored command vehicle used by the army. The interior of the car is very spacious, and Angie, Barton, and Zach have their own places.

When the armored command vehicle drove out of the underground parking lot, a pedestrian near the exit suddenly threw something at the armored command vehicle.

The driver discovered the situation immediately, and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The armored command vehicle drove more than ten meters before hearing the explosion sound from behind.

"What's the matter, Nima?" While An Qi was still looking back, Button had already drawn out his pistol.

"Go back to the Ministry of Defense—" Rock had a headache. In immigrant countries like southern Africa, such things are really hard to prevent.

The armored vehicle did not stop at the scene, and returned directly to the Ministry of National Defense. When he returned to the office, Rock called home first, but he did not say that someone dropped a bomb, only that he had to work overtime.

"The police arrested three people at the scene. The details are still unclear. The police station is interrogating." Angie didn't panic too much. It's normal to work next to someone like Rock.

Rock's second call was directly to Xia Jiu. Brad still didn't have enough control over the country.

"Sorry my lord, we are investigating—" Xia Jiu felt very guilty. Previously, Brad's main work scope was in Nyasaland and Pretoria, and Brad didn't have enough manpower.

As soon as he put down the phone, Ade called again.

"Locke, is it necessary to control all the Belgians in southern Africa?" Ade is cruel. This is actually a normal operation, and it is the same in all countries in the world.

However, for southern Africa, if you really want to control the Belgians in southern Africa, it is still a bit unreasonable. After all, southern Africa and Belgium are not in a state of war.

"No need, let's wait for the results of the interrogation first." Rock was not in a hurry, there were many enemies in southern Africa, and it was impossible to lock up everyone except the British and Chinese.
