Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 900 Dazzling

Rasputin's name is famous even in the 21st century, and he is the most famous "contemporary magic stick" in this era.

Roque first heard of Rasputin because of Rasputin's 28.5 cm long nasha in its natural state.

This guy is a standard magic stick. He became famous because he cured the hemophilia of Alexei, the crown prince of the Russian Empire. What is widely circulated is Rasputin's chaotic personal life and sexual ability that many people envy.

Such a well-recognized "magic stick" dared to leave the Russian Empire, which made Rock really curious. Do the British nobles, like the Russian nobles, also worship this magic stick?

"In any case, this guy is the most trusted person of the Tsar's father now, so don't care if you hate him or not, he can really have a huge influence on the Tsar's father." Winston also had to admit that life has its own way. A lot of helplessness.

From Winston's address to Nicholas II, we can hear Winston's various dissatisfaction with Nicholas II. For many years, the Tsar appeared in Russia as a "father" in the Russian Empire However, the image of this "father" is about to be shattered now. If the Russian Empire cannot reverse the decline on the battlefield in a short period of time, then the Russians will personally send their "father" to the guillotine. The £2500m a month will also go down the drain.

In fact, for Britain and France, the Tsar is also a "father". No matter how unbearable the performance of the Russian army on the battlefield, Nicholas II is trying his best to organize troops to the front line. Millions of German troops were killed Involved in the Eastern Front, there is no escape. If the Russian Empire falls now, or Nicholas II takes the initiative to lie down and make peace with Germany, then the British and French allied forces will definitely not be able to withstand the crazy German attack.

Since the start of the war, the Russian Empire has lost nearly one million troops. If this number is placed on any country, such as Britain or France, the entire country may have collapsed. Don’t forget that it is less than half a year since the outbreak of the World War.

"What does this guy like?" Rock still started from the weakness of human nature.

"I like everything, especially women—" Winston looked disgusted. It seemed that Rasputin was already notorious during his time in England.

This kind of thing is normal. France was killed by Germany for a generation during the First World War. By the end of the Second World War, countless women had their yin and yang heads shaved.

The UK is even more extreme. Thinking about the chaotic interpersonal relationships in the UK, you will know how well Rasputin is in the UK.

"It's normal. There will always be people willing to fall, and we can't save everyone." Rock has long seen through that some people are not worthy of pity, and they are all life chosen by themselves.

The Wall Street tycoon in the United States rushed to marry his daughter to the British bankrupt, and Winston's parents had such a background.

The thieves and liars who couldn't get along in Europe turned into masters when they came to the colonies. Some people can really change their minds and start a new life, and some people have traveled all over the colonies all over the world.

Britain is an "empire on which the sun never sets", and there are still pure British women doing business in the red light district of London, but at the same time, there are also women organizing anti-war demonstrations, and there are also women serving the country in factories and hospitals. The road is chosen by oneself of.

There is never anything new under the sun.

"London has now become a city of fog, and it is not suitable for human survival at all—" Winston said in a rather cryptic way, and I am afraid that "smog" is a more appropriate description.

It’s the season of heavy snow again, and countless chimneys in London will cover the whole city again. Every year, tens of thousands of people in the UK will die because of this, but the magic is that no one has ever paid attention to this problem. The royal family lives in a country house with fresh air, nobles and Politicians are busy fighting for power and profit, ordinary people have to run around for three meals a day, and no one cares about the environmental pollution brought about by the industrial revolution.

The good news is that every winter is the season when southern Africa welcomes the most new immigrants, and this year there should be more immigrants than usual.

Rock was not afraid of the smog, so he turned around and called Christian, asking him to go to London.

Christian is now in Paris.

As Rock's most loyal "servant", wherever Rock is, Christian will be there. Christian is responsible for many things that Rock is inconvenient to deal with. Rock is focusing on the defense line during this time. Ann is busy buying real estate in Paris.

After the outbreak of the World War, the real estate value in Paris plummeted. An apartment building worth 380 million francs before the outbreak of the World War is now sold for less than 300 million.

"Mr. Christian, there are eight apartments in this building. The ground floor is a store. Each apartment has eight rooms, six bathrooms, two living rooms, corridors, dining rooms, and servant rooms. It is equipped with telephones, elevators, and heating. Before the outbreak of World War II, the rent of an apartment here was 3 francs a year. Half a year ago, the building was worth 380 million, but now it is only 290 million, which is the best time to buy a bargain.” The shrewd agent kept talking, and Christian was very interested in the house. satisfy.

This is a residential building located on the Champs-Elysées in the eighth arrondissement of Paris. The whole house is made of white marble. If it were not for the threat of war, its owner would definitely not sell it. Such assets are suitable for long-term holding Benign assets.

Christian doesn’t actually need to handle these matters personally, but Christian enjoys it. He likes the feeling of making money. Sitting in the office and looking at the financial statements will make Christian feel unreal. Rock said that Christian is serious about security. Anesthesia, Christian thinks the same.

"290 million is too expensive. If the front line collapses, the house here will be worthless. I want to ensure that the risk is directly proportional to the profit." The house itself Christian is impeccable, but the price itself is certainly negotiable.

During this period, Christian has bought many houses like this, as well as some old castles and manors. In Reims, Christian bought six vineyards producing champagne.

Reims is the core production area of ​​Champagne. In 1905, the French Supreme Court declared that the name "Champagne" was exclusively used for wines made locally from grapes harvested in the area around Reims. The area around Reims is also known as the "Champagne Region". .

That's how war is. Rock's plan is for the interests of southern Africa, and businessmen like Christian are also profitable. National interests are not their turn to consider, and bargain hunting at low prices is still possible.

"As much as you can bid, I will try my best to fight for you." The intermediary finally meets a big client and will never give up easily.

"Two million francs can also be paid in pounds. This house is only worth so much." Christian's big knife was waving.

"This price is too low. It's impossible, Mr. Christian. Three months ago, the house was worth 380 million." I can't stand it.

"You said that was three months ago, three months later, this house is not even worth 200 million." Christian is not in a hurry. Some time ago when the German army was only 30 kilometers away from Paris, the price of this house It once fell to 190 million and no one dared to take over it. Now that the battle line is stable in Belgium, the price has only returned to 290 million.

"Mr. Christian, this price is impossible—" The agent was sweating profusely, hoping that Christian could give a relatively normal price, of course relative to the current price.

"That's it. If you agree, call me again. I'm very busy now. I have to look at dozens of houses every day, and I don't have time to spend on one house." Christian said he would leave. Now it's a standard buyer's market. Sellers don't have much choice.

Leaving the Champs-Elysées, Christian went to have lunch at the Hôtel Ville next to the Royal Palace. The Hôtel Ville was one of the most famous restaurants in Paris during the Balzac era. It offered a set menu with red wine and coffee. The price of lunch was 5 francs, and the price of dinner was The price is 8 francs.

For Christian, a few francs are not worth mentioning. After the outbreak of the world war, his trading company and human resources company can earn hundreds of thousands of francs every day, but Christian still feels that it is too expensive, so Christian also and his followers Eat a set meal together.

What makes Christian very uncomfortable is that the Willy Hotel only accepts white customers, and there are several Africans among Christian's drivers and bodyguards, so they cannot enter the hotel.

Christian was very kind to his opponents. He asked the waiter to deliver the package to the drivers and bodyguards who could not enter the hotel for dinner. He also sent a bottle of Sir Gabriel champagne separately. This bottle of champagne is priced separately and the restaurant costs 20 franc.

"It's really expensive. A bottle of red wine costs 15 shillings, and we can buy five bottles in southern Africa." Christian chatted on and on. Secretary Fanny and security director Cole just ignored it. The ones are rare.

Christian is indeed rich, but he never wastes it. When Rock arranges for Christian to work, Christian does not hesitate to spend a lot of money, even if it does not seem profitable for the time being, but in personal life, Christian isn't asking too much.

Customers who choose the package cannot go to the private room and can only eat in the hotel lobby.

It was lunch time, and the restaurant was still very lively. Although the shadow of war still hung over Paris, people's lives were not affected.

"Sorry, you can't dine here, please leave the restaurant immediately." Just after taking two bites, a discordant voice suddenly came from the side, and the waiters in the restaurant were expelling two soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

The arms of the two soldiers were still bandaged. They didn't seem to understand the waiter's French, but they could feel the waiter's bad attitude.

At this time, many guests dining in the restaurant noticed the small episode here, and all kinds of indifference, ridicule, and sarcasm eyes suddenly focused on the two wounded soldiers.
