Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1023 John III
Britain caused many tragedies in the process of colonizing the world.
Not to mention, in 1893, during the war between the British army and the local Metabili-Sulus in Rhodesia, in a battle, a British army of more than 50 people only relied on 4 Maxim heavy tanks.
The machine gun repelled dozens of charges from more than 5,000 Metabili warriors and killed more than 3,000 people.
According to the logic of the British Admiralty, the federal government of Southern Africa can also file a lawsuit against the British government, accusing the British government of systematic massacre of southern Africans in the process of conquering southern Africa.
If the federal government of Southern Africa really does this, then the worst case scenario is about to happen. The British Empire will face countless lawsuits. Those who were victims of the British Empire's conquest of the world will file lawsuits against the British Empire. This will trigger
The chain reaction will destroy the ruling foundation of the entire British Empire.
Rock didn't know how Winston communicated with John Jellicoe. In the end, the Admiralty did not file a charge against the Adan Company to the London Magistrates' Court, and the matter was settled.
However, the impact of the lawsuit did not stop. On April 1st, the traditional Western April Fool's Day, four British overseas dominions including Southern Africa, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand formally submitted a request to the British government to establish the British Empire on the basis of the British Empire.
Federation, giving overseas dominions more autonomy.
The joint actions of the four major overseas dominions put the British government into a state of complete passivity. Winston had to return to London urgently. Kitchener also went to the Palace of Justice many times to negotiate with Adelaide, hoping that southern Africa could set an example and provide good advice to the British.
The government had enough time to prepare for the establishment of the Commonwealth.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare for. I am afraid that the British government also knows that the establishment of the Commonwealth is imperative. The British government now needs more time to seek more benefits for the British mainland in the future Commonwealth.
The alliance of the four major overseas autonomous territories has nothing to do with Rock. Australian companies have already started investing in Australia. Tang En, who had just returned to Southern Africa from Port Elizabeth, was selected by Rock to serve as the general manager of the Australian company and go to Pas, the largest city on the west coast of Australia.
.
The headquarters of the Australian company is in Pas. The city of Pas, like Johannesburg, is also prosperous because of gold.
Gold was discovered in Kalgoorlie on the upper reaches of the Swan River in 1885, attracting a large number of new immigrants. With the construction of railways and the development of agricultural technology, Perth gradually became the largest city on the west coast of Australia.
Before Tang En left for Australia, Rock called Tang En to Eagle Fort for an interview.
"The most important task of the Australian company is to develop the farms and mineral resources in Western Australia. However, this work is not urgent, especially the mineral resources. I will let Christian cooperate with you to explore the mineral resources in Australia, but if you find the mineral resources
Don’t develop the land first, just focus on setting up farms.” Rock determined the Australian company’s business goals. Australia’s total population is only 5.5 million people now, so as long as Australian companies continue to immigrate to Western Australia, then a hundred years from now,
It’s hard to say who has the final say in Australia.
Long live the minority obeys the majority!
"So I'm going to Australia to be a sheepherder," Tang En laughed at himself. He really didn't mean to complain about Rock.
The speaker has no intention of listening, and Rock also knows that Tang En has had a difficult time in Port Elizabeth these years: "Hold on for two more years, and I will send someone to replace you in two years."
Despite Port Elizabeth's good economic situation, in the days before air conditioning, Port Elizabeth's summers were quite difficult, with the highest temperature reaching fifty degrees. God knows how Tang En and the others survived.
In such a difficult environment, Tang En stayed in Port Elizabeth for ten years. It was not until the end of the World War that Port Elizabeth's sphere of influence expanded to the Mediterranean and safety was completely guaranteed that Tang En returned to southern Africa from Port Elizabeth.
It's a pity that just a few days after Ansheng's birthday, Rock asked Tang En to go to Australia. This was indeed unkind.
"It doesn't matter, Lord. My main purpose this time is to send my son back to school. It doesn't matter where I work. I know about Paz's situation. Don't worry, Lord. I guarantee that in ten years, the entire Western Australia will become ours."
Western Australia in southern Africa is at least Western Australia for us Chinese." Tang En's last sentence was sonorous and powerful. The staff in Eagle Fort are all Chinese who have passed numerous examinations, so there is no need to worry about certain information being leaked.
"Very good, I'm looking forward to your good news." Rock expressed satisfaction with Tang En's attitude. It is precisely because of the enthusiasm and hard work of countless Chinese that the status of the Chinese in southern Africa has been rising steadily, at least in southern Africa.
, have the same rights and social status as white people.
In addition to acquiring the land around Pas, Rock also had a special request for Twain, hoping that Twain could buy the Cocos Islands from the colonial government of Singapore.
The Cocos Islands, also known as the Keeling Islands, is an overseas territory of Singapore in the Indian Ocean. It covers an area of 14.2 square kilometers and consists of 27 coral islands.
The Cocos Islands are 800 kilometers away from Singapore, 2,768 kilometers away from Perth, and 2,700 kilometers away from the Addam Islands. Although shipping technology has improved significantly compared with before, there is still a supply pass on the way from the Addan Islands to Perth.
If the Cocos Islands can be purchased from the colonial government of Singapore, then Adan Company can establish a new supply base in the Cocos Islands.
No, it was not from the colonial government of Singapore. In 1886, the British government included the Cocos Islands into the Straits Settlements with its capital in Singapore, and gave the Cocos Islands to the Clunis Ross family on the island, becoming the Lunis Ross family.
of permanent property.
So Tang En is going to find the Clunis Ross family, not the Straits Settlements.
Compared with the colonial government, the Clunis Ross family was obviously easier to deal with. Around 1827, John Clunis Ross and his family came to settle in the Cocos Islands, improved the natural coconut groves on the Cocos Islands, and hired Malays.
Asians harvest coconuts to make copra, which is also the main income of the Cocos Islands.
In fact, you can’t make much money by buying dried coconut. The Cocos Islands only have a dozen square kilometers in total, and only the main island and the west island are inhabited. The rest are coral reefs without fresh water, which are simply uninhabitable.
In another time and space, in the mid-1850s, the number of Cocos Islanders was increasing and the island was overcrowded. As a result, many Cocos Islanders immigrated to Australia, with the main destination being Western Australia.
Rock now wants to advance this process, move the Ross family on the island to Western Australia, and then move those Malays back to Malay, so that the Adang Company can get a perfect Cocos Islands.
Because of the lawsuit that just passed, Rock reminded Tang En to pay attention to the reaction of the Straits Settlements. It is best to reach an agreement with the Ross family before attracting the attention of the Straits Settlements. Even if the Ross family cannot transfer the entire Cocos Islands to Adan Company,
At the very least, we should strive to build a supply base and an airstrip in the Cocos Islands to facilitate future flights between southern Africa and Australia.
In another time and space, the Cocos Islands were the transit point between Pas and Johannesburg.
"Don't worry, Lord, I will let the Clunis Ross family willingly sell the Cocos Islands to Adan Company." Tang En is confident that such "willingness" has been achieved countless times by Tang En over the years, otherwise
Port Elizabeth would not be the same size it is now.
"Be careful. We just had a fight with the Admiralty because of the Addane Islands. Don't give the Admiralty an excuse to have a fit." Rock reminded Tang En that the Indian Ocean is not Port Elizabeth, so we should be cautious.
"Yeah, yeah, I understand. The Clunis-Ross family doesn't agree, so just give them more money. For more than ten square kilometers, they can ask for whatever they want." Tang En didn't take it seriously.
, Adan Company never uses power to bully others, and has always convinced others with reason.
However, Tang En still underestimated the greed of the Clunis Ross family. After the initial contact between the Australian company and the Clunis Ross family, the Clunis Ross family offered a price of 142,000 pounds, which is about one square kilometer per square kilometer.
Thousands of pounds.
This price almost depleted Tang Enlei's outer space. The Cocos Islands do not have as important a strategic value as the Addam Islands. That is to say, Australian companies need a transit station, so Rock, who is accustomed to firmly controlling all nodes, would start to buy.
Cocos Islands, otherwise no one would care about the Cocos Islands.
For the British Royal Navy, the Cocos Islands are useless. Eight hundred kilometers north of the Cocos Islands is the Strait of Malacca. As long as the British Royal Navy guarantees control of the Strait of Malacca, it can basically ignore the existence of the Cocos Islands.
On April 15th, Tang En passed by the Cocos Islands on his way to Pas, and went to the island specifically to interview John III, the patriarch of the Clunis Ross family.
This "三世" does not have too special meaning. Many people in European countries will use the name of their father or grandfather, so they will add "II" or "三世" after the name to distinguish them. For example, Stoudemire, his name
Strictly speaking, it should be Cecil Rhodes II.
For white people, this situation is commonplace.
For Tang En, this situation is unbelievable.
However, over the years, Tang En has also been tempered, but his appearance remains unchanged. When facing John III, Tang En is still talking and laughing.
"If the Cocos Islands were on the outskirts of London, then the price of 142,000 pounds would be reasonable, but the Cocos Islands are in the Indian Ocean, and such a price is really insincere." Tang En still hopes to solve this problem through normal means.
.
"No, no, no, Don, the price of the Cocos Islands can be compared to the Chagos Islands. You can't even think about taking the Cocos Islands away from the Clunis Ross family with a pitiful amount of money." John III laughed and said
Like a mouse, both greedy and wretched.
