Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 849 Attitude

At seven o'clock in the morning, Bruce left the house on time and rode his bicycle to work at Fawalt Steel's research institute in Xuanji City.

Bicycles are a very common means of transportation for urban residents in southern Africa. Compared with cars and motorcycles, bicycles are healthier, more environmentally friendly, and have no noise. They are also cheap to use and require no refueling. They are very popular in southern Africa.

In Europe, riding a bicycle to the countryside is the most fashionable way of leisure for noble youths, and it is a common means of transportation in southern Africa.

The morning scenery of Xuanji City is pleasant, the air is fresh and natural with the refreshing breath of morning dew, the landscape trees on both sides of the road are lush and vibrant, the bluestone slabs on the ground are clean and the texture of the stone can be seen, the cat is lazily sleeping on the windowsill, the hound Squatting behind the fence gate, I stared vigilantly at every passer-by. Occasionally, people wearing white flannel underwear and sports jackets who got up early for morning exercises ran past profusely, leaving a kind smile to every passer-by.

Whether acquaintances or strangers.

When crossing the intersection and passing the breakfast shop, Bruce bought two steaming steamed buns and a cup of freshly cooked soy milk for breakfast, and bought a copy of the Southern African edition of "The Times" that had just been delivered to the newsstand.

The headline on the front page is still the familiar bold bold "Beware of Careerists from Evil Groups!" ! ! ".

Bruce shook his head, rolled up the newspaper and put it in the basket of his bicycle. He is a German from Germany and has now become a southern African citizen, although Nyasaland promised that he would not impose any restrictions on any group during the war. , but Bruce was still worried.

On this issue, the performance of European countries is not good. Even if there is a similar commitment, it will be overturned at any time. Everything depends on the actual implementation of the policy.

"Evil group" is a more polite term. In the UK, the "Times" used the headline "Beware of Germany's large-scale military expansion!" ! ! ".

This can't be blamed on Germany. The United Kingdom has already begun to expand its military, and Germany must make preparations early.

Bruce is in charge of improving the multi-functional army shovel at the research institute. His team has fifteen people. Besides Bruce, there is a German named Daniel. The others are all English and Chinese. Nearly half of the members Graduated from Nyasaland University, including Bruce.

Southern Africa is classifying and integrating military supplies. After a unified specification, all kinds of materials needed by soldiers on the front line are included. The Johannesburg Textile Company is developing portable equipment to carry bullets, grenades, pistols, and daggers. Henry’s steel company It started to research steel helmets and multi-functional military shovels with better protection performance. While upgrading the existing equipment, it tried to integrate different functions into one military shovel. All companies are racing against time for the war.

"Good morning, Bruce—" At the entrance of the institute, Bruce met Daniel with red eyes and messy hair.

"Good morning, Daniel, what's the matter with you? You look a little embarrassed—" Bruce and Daniel have a good relationship, not all because Bruce and Daniel are German, Bruce has a good relationship with almost everyone.

"I'm going crazy. I had a fight with that damn neighbor yesterday. He's an asshole. I'm going to ask for leave to report to the police." Daniel was aggressive, and Bruce knew that Daniel's neighbor was an ethnicity from France. Activists.

The conflict between the French and the Germans is irreconcilable. Although Nyasaland treats people equally, and most French and Germans can keep their own place, there are always some people who disobey the rules and discriminate against others. This is a very serious crime in Nyasaland.

"I support you Daniel, it's better to send that guy to prison." Bruce was filled with righteous indignation. Whites are already a minority in Nyasaland, and Germans are a minority in the white group, so most Germans are united.

The research institute of Fawalt Steel Company in Xuanji City is a three-story building with a yard. This is a permanent building made of marble. Bruce puts his bicycle in the carport next to the office building, and the parking lot next to the carport Several cars have been parked on the road, one of which is a special car provided by the company to Edmund, the director of the institute.

"Good morning, Bruce—"

"Good morning, Daniel, have you been bitten by a dog?"

"Wow, Daniel, you look so cool today—"

"Daniel, the boss wants your plan, you'd better prepare well."

The atmosphere of the Institute is very harmonious, everyone will greet warmly, and the embarrassed Daniel received many kind ridicules.

In the director's office at the end of the third floor, Edmund was evaluating the function of the new military shovel with Lieutenant Colonel Herta, the instructor of the Army Academy.

"The multifunctional military shovels we use now are expensive, and European countries generally cannot afford them, so the cost of the new military shovels must be reduced, so that it is more conducive to mass production." Edmund is not just a technician. The combination of research and development has always been the goal required by Rock.

"However you want to reduce the cost, you must have the necessary functions. The simple version can be sold to Europe, and the ones we use must be of high quality and complete functions." Lieutenant Colonel Huerta doesn't care about other things. Southern Africa has the most The United States has to import a large amount of special ores from southern Africa. Fawalt Steel Company has huge profits, and the equipment needed by professional soldiers in southern Africa can still be met.

"Then we will remove all unnecessary functions, and only keep the most basic digging and chopping." Edmund crossed out most of the infrequently used functions, and replaced the triangular handle using natural rubber with a short wooden handle. Further reduce costs.

While the United Kingdom ordered 200 million rifles, it also ordered 100 million military shovels. These military shovels are all simplified versions, and the order can be completed within three months.

Daniel knocked on the door at this time.

"—that bastard is a habitual offender. He often swears and categorically discriminates against me. When I got home from work last night, I found garbage in the yard. It was obviously thrown by that bastard through the fence. I threw it all for him. We went back, and then we scolded each other—" Daniel's body was trembling, and it seemed that he was very angry.

"It's too much, you should have gone to the police at that time!" Edmund was also very angry. Generally speaking, the residents of Xuanji City are of relatively high quality, but racial discrimination is inevitable, and it is just the beginning. This will happen more and more.

"I went, but the police are too busy, and no one has come to deal with it." It is estimated that this is the real reason for Daniel's anger. This kind of thing is not common in Xuanji City.

"Yesterday, the military and the police had a joint exercise about controlling emergencies, so the police station is estimated to be understaffed—" Lieutenant Colonel Huerta knew the situation. Every year, the military and the police have joint exercises, and the number of recent times is a bit high.

"Our scientific researchers should be better protected." Edmund does not accept this excuse. Although southern Africa is also advertised as "fair and free", if there is a major incident, the researchers of the institute are still the key protection targets. These are all planned.

Lieutenant Colonel Huerta nodded and said nothing. Most of the residents of Xuanji City work for scientific research institutions and Nyasaland University. This city only emerged around Nyasaland University, so no one can enjoy privileges. Demond also feels too good about himself.

"Who is your neighbor? Where does he work?" Edmund was also aware of this problem, so it was better to understand the background of the other party first.

"Caucasian, with an Irish accent, seems to be an executive of Rand Bank—" Daniel is not too clear, Fawalt Steel Company is not easy to mess with, Rand Bank is even more difficult to mess with, and it must be someone who can own an independent house in Xuanji City Senior executives, Rand Bank employees also live in apartments.

Now even Edmund started to frown, pondered for a moment and picked up the phone to call George Bell, the manager of Rand Bank in Xuanji City. The relationship between Fawalt Steel Company and Rand Bank is still very good.

"I have something to do later, so I'm leaving—" Lieutenant Colonel Huerta didn't get involved in these disputes, and now he knew why the police didn't come to the door until now.

Back in his office, Daniel felt uneasy. Edmund did not agree to Daniel's request for leave, but he still had the responsibility to take care of the matter.

"Don't worry, Daniel, it's not your fault." Bruce comforted Daniel, which is why Bruce is popular.

"No matter what, I must make that bastard pay the price." Daniel now also realizes that the problem may not be easy to solve. After all, there are no serious consequences. Considering the background and strength of Rand Bank, I am afraid that Fawalt Steel Company is not good either. Make.

"Don't be afraid of Daniel, we support you, if not, we can find a newspaper, I know a reporter from The Times—"

"Don't go to the reporter, we'll go straight to the lawyer and sue the bastard for racism."

"Call the mayor's hotline, or go to Eagle Castle and report to the Lord—"

"Thank you, brothers, you really moved me." Daniel's colleagues were very enthusiastic and rushed to come up with ideas, and finally there was a smile on Daniel's face.

I don't know how Edmund negotiated with George Bell. When Daniel got home from get off work at night, he found his neighbor, who was grumpy yesterday, waiting in front of his fence with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Seeing Daniel, the neighbor's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he bit the bullet and came over to apologize to Daniel: "Sorry Daniel, my work was not going well yesterday, so I lost control of my emotions—"

Daniel was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to realize: "Oh, Erwin, I'm also at fault, and I'm not in a good mood these days—"

Regardless of whether the apology is sincere or not, as long as you have this attitude, Daniel's request is not high.
