Chapter 890 Pervasive

People like Rock, Henry, and Stoudemire have gone beyond the professional category in the secular concept. Each of them has many identities. The combination of these identities is the real reason for the huge influence on southern Africa.

There are also many monsters combining government and business in France. Joffre doesn't know the situation in southern Africa, but he knows France well.

"Minister Locke, we should share all resources." Joffre was dissatisfied with Rock's attitude, not just because of money.

"I'm really curious. The world war has broken out for more than two months. Hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers are dying. In the past, there were insufficient medical resources. Now there are enough doctors, but there are not enough operating rooms. Ward, does the French government have no money? If you exchange a small amount of money for an experienced soldier, I think it is worth it." Rock really looked down on the efficiency of the French government, so he almost didn't directly criticize it.

"France is a democratic country, and citizens' private property is sacred and inviolable. The land around Paris is expensive, and the government's financial difficulties. What's more, even if the government pays, people may not be willing to sell it." Joffre is also very helpless, he also I want to save the lives of more experienced soldiers, but objective reality does not allow it.

Relatively speaking, the situation in southern Africa is the same as that of France, but what is better about southern Africa is that the federal government has a greater influence on the people, and there is not much vacant land around Pretoria and Johannesburg to be developed. Well, a lot of land belongs to dignitaries like Roque and Stoudemire, but if the federal government needs it, Roque and Stoudemire will not sit on the ground and raise prices, at most they will fight for some other interests.

For example, if the Pretoria city government wants to build a hospital, it needs to expropriate the land under the name of Stoudemire. Then Pretoria can cooperate with Stoudemire. Stoudemire pays for the construction of the hospital. Pretoria The municipal government sends management personnel and doctors to work in the hospital, the profit is distributed by agreement between the two parties, and the ownership and management rights are controlled by the Pretoria municipal government, which can not only guarantee the interests of the municipal government, but also the interests of Stoudemire

"With all due respect, Marshal, these are all excuses. A strong government will not be disturbed by any factors. How can a nest be destroyed? If Paris falls, will the Germans guarantee the sacrosanct private property of the Parisians?" Rock was blunt, and he was selfish in the face of a catastrophe, which was a harbinger of the country's subjugation.

"After all, we can't be like the Germans." Joffre also knows the problems of the French government, but the reality in France is like this. If you want to offend the interests of the powerful, you don't need the Germans to call. The French will directly overthrow the current government.

This is the knot of democracy and freedom, and there is no solution!

"So, you pay the money, and I will coordinate." Rock offered a solution, and whether he could accept it would depend on Xiafei's determination.

Xiafei didn't agree right away, the expression on his face was very tangled.

Rock was not in a hurry, and his eyes fell on a pen holder on Xiafei's desk. The familiar azure color was unforgettable at a glance. Next to it was a delicate and exquisite globe, next to it was a reduced version of the French flag, and a typewriter .

The dignified commander-in-chief of the French army still uses his own typing?

amazing.

"After the field hospital is completed, it will be your French property, and the lives of your French soldiers will be saved. What is there to hesitate?" Rock didn't have much time to waste with Joffre. In fact, even if the French government didn't pay For money, Rock also has a solution, and some people are willing to pay.

Medical resources are scarce no matter what era, Paris now has only a few hospitals with imperfect facilities, and the medical level is not high enough. Doctors with higher levels are all in private clinics, which are the high-end in European countries medical resources.

The poor cannot enter these private clinics.

If Roque goes to Leonard Capet now and tells Leonard Capet that he is going to build a hospital in Paris, then there is no need to find anyone else, Leonard Capet can do everything by himself After everything is done, there is no need to emphasize how profitable the hospital is.

"Minister Locke, we don't have a budget now—" Xiafei also had no choice. He also knew that it was necessary to build a hospital, but without a budget, nothing could be done.

Rock stopped talking nonsense with Xiafei, and called Leonard Capet when he returned to the headquarters, and soon Leonard Capet appeared in front of Rock.

"Lord Nyasaland, welcome to France—" Leonard Capet's expression was exaggerated, and he gave Roque a big hug as soon as he came up. People didn't care whether Roque gave Ada a title or not.

"Reynard, you have to lose weight. Your health is the foundation of everything." Rock was really worried about Leonard's health. It seemed that Leonard was only about 1.6 meters tall, but he must weigh more than [-] kilograms.

Leonard Cape laughed out loud. He had imagined the scene of meeting Roque countless times, but he did not expect that Roque would be so direct in his first sentence after meeting him.

However, this direct Roque obviously made Leonard Capet more relaxed. Unlike Joffre, Leonard Capet was very aware of Roque's position in southern Africa, and the business in southern Africa was very important to the Capet family. .

After the French Revolution, the titles of the Capet family were revoked, the family fell into poverty, and even the ancestral castle was forced to sell. The family was miserable and helpless, so Ada married in southern Africa.

Now relying on the business in southern Africa, the Capet family has re-emerged and become one of the most famous big families in France, so Renard Capet will unconditionally cooperate with any request of Roque, Renard Capet and French dignitaries The relationship is very good. When Roque first arrived in Paris, Leonard Capet also attended Roque's welcome dinner, but Leonard Capet did not get the opportunity to communicate with Roque.

"I'm going to build a hospital in Paris to treat wounded soldiers—" Rock succinctly said.

"What do you need me to do?" Leonard Capet didn't ask how much money was needed, didn't ask Rock's purpose, and didn't even ask about any difficulties, and met all of Rock's requirements.

"To find a suitable piece of land, about 50 pounds is needed to build a hospital—" Rock's request is high, 50 is not a small amount, one pound can be exchanged for 25 francs, and 50 pounds is 1250 million francs, the top of Paris The Grand Hotel de Paris has 800 rooms and 65 multifunctional halls, and the cost is only 2100 million francs.

"My lord, this is your first investment in France. How about 50 yuan? At least 100 million yuan is in line with your status." Leonard Capet doubled it directly. There is no need to ask for the money, it must be Leonard Capet himself.

If there is no accident, after the hospital is built, it is estimated that the hospital will still be under Rock's name.

Looking at his generous spending, Xia Fei should really feel ashamed.

"After the hospital is built, it will be called the Locke Hospital. Everyone who receives treatment in the hospital will be grateful to you. Your kindness and brilliance will always shine on the banks of the Seine—" Leonard Capet's flattery gushed, Roque was embarrassed, and after all, Roque was God.

"Then do it directly. If it's 100 million, then build a few more." Rock was satisfied with Leonard Capet's attitude, so he didn't care to give a few more pointers.

"Where is it built?" Leonard Capet fully cooperated, and Rock did what he said.

"Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon, Nantes, you can go anywhere. Education and medical care are not necessarily the most profitable, but they must be the most noble." Rock doesn't care how much money he makes now, let alone education and medical care are also very profitable.

"That's really great. I told Ada long ago that it's a pity that there are not enough resources to replicate the education and medical care of southern Africa in France." Leonard Capet also has a family background, not the kind of mercenary Nouveau riche, honor is very important to an ancient family like the Capet family.

Everyone knows the importance of education and medical care, but not everyone can do it. For the education of the Transvaal, Roque sent people to search all over Europe to find experts and professors who are willing to immigrate to southern Africa. In order to develop medical care in southern Africa , Rock founded Johannesburg Medical School a long time ago, two professions that require a great deal of patience and continued commitment to see returns.

"Then try to do it. I'm going to Flanders in a few days, and the work of the hospital will be handed over to you." Rock still delegated power, but there must be necessary supervision. After all, the hospital serves the expeditionary force. Ke has always been strict with the quality of the project.

Renard Capet was still very efficient. That night, Renard Capet found a suitable place on the outskirts of Paris. The location was by the forest on the banks of the Seine, very close to the Arc de Triomphe. How much did De Capet cost.

No matter how much money is spent, it is worth it. The area that Leonard Capet found is about 120 acres, which is more than enough to build a hospital. Now the land around Paris is very valuable, and the value will only become more and more expensive in the future.

While Roque was trying to improve the logistics, the battle in Flanders was underway. Cooperating with the British Expeditionary Force was the newly established French Ninth Army. Foch.

The British Expeditionary Force can be covered by the firepower of the British Navy in Flanders. The navy's gunboats sail directly into the rivers of Flanders to provide close fire support for the British Expeditionary Force.

In a battle in Witzhardt, a German captain named Hoffmann was injured. One of his soldiers dragged Captain Hoffmann to safety, but failed to save Hoffmann's life.

The soldier was awarded an Iron Cross 20nd Class by German Kaiser Wilhelm II a few days later, who would become head of state [-] years later and start World War II.
