Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1310 Cold all over the body
It is difficult to measure the value of badges and titles with specific monetary figures. Roque must now pay attention to practical interests. No matter how big the title is, Roque will not forget his original intention.
Stoudemire is different. He has now been awarded the title of Viscount of the Empire. Stoudemire has now obtained everything that Cecil Rhodes did not get, but Stoudemire is still enjoying it.
There were less than 20 people attending the investiture ceremony. One of them, an official from the British mainland, attracted special attention. He had been courting Ada since before the ceremony. Even though Aida was not pretentious, this guy was still entangled in Aida.
reach around.
"This guy's name is Philip Edward Sassoon. You should be familiar with his surname. They are Jews from India who made their fortune by selling opium to the Qing Dynasty. His grandfather's father was David Sassoon, one of the richest men in Bombay.
First, the Opium War was promoted by his family." Henry introduced softly in Rock's ear. Rock suddenly became wary. This is the hatred of the country and the family.
To be honest, Roark doesn’t know much about this period of history.
In the education Rock received, the Opium War was jointly initiated by Britain and France, and there seemed to be no Sassoon family factors.
But since Henry said this, it must not be groundless. What Rock knew was that the Opium War had a lot to do with the British East India Company. If so, this Philip Edward Sassoon, his family should be the leader of the East India Company at that time.
Indian family management.
“You have to be careful, this guy is said to be the most perfect bachelor in Britain, and Minister Capet is the most attractive rose.” Henry is sour, and Ada is Henry’s white moonlight or cinnabar mole.
Rock smiled and said nothing. If this Sassoon family was really related to the Opium War, then there is no way Rock would want to have a good chat with Mr. Sassoon.
While Rock and Henry were whispering, Ada was already very annoyed.
"Beautiful lady, you are like the most dazzling sun in spring, shining on every inch of the earth. You are like a gentle cloud, soothing every dirty and unbearable soul. Your elegant and noble temperament makes people feel ashamed.
, people can't help but fall under your pleated skirt," Philip Edward Sassoon kept chattering, launching a fierce offensive against Ada.
This guy is indeed extraordinary. His great-grandfather David Sassoon made his fortune by selling opium to the Far East. His mother is Irene Caroline Ross, the daughter of Baron Gustave de Rothschild.
Childe's sister, Sybil Sassoon, married the Marquess of Cholmondeley.
As for Philip Sassoon himself, he had been elected to the House of Commons for Hayes since 1912, succeeding his father Edward Albert Sassoon, who had served as Douglas Haig during the First World War.
Private Secretary to David Lloyd George and then Parliamentary Private Secretary to David Lloyd George.
Philip Sassoon's current position is the British Under-Secretary of the Air Force.
Philippe Sassoon came to Southern Africa this time with the purpose of discussing with Southern Africa the joint production of air force fighter aircraft.
During the World War, Edwards Shipyard produced two aircraft carriers and a total of 270 carrier-based aircraft for the Royal Navy. These two aircraft carriers played an important role during the World War and were well received by the Royal Navy.
During the World War, Southern Africa also produced more than 1,300 fighters and bombers for the United Kingdom, making outstanding contributions to the Allied Powers' victory over the Central Powers.
After the end of the World War, in order to widen the gap with other countries, Southern Africa gradually phased out the combat aircraft used during the World War and began to replace them with more advanced fighter aircraft.
The UK also wanted to change, but the UK had no money, so the UK wanted to cooperate with southern Africa in production.
Of course, this cooperative production comes at a price. As the sovereign country, Britain is bound to give Southern Africa a certain degree of technology transfer fees or other economic compensation. Philip Sassoon came to Southern Africa just for this matter.
As the most perfect bachelor in Britain, Philip Sassoon thinks very highly of himself. After meeting Ada, he was shocked and launched a fierce attack on Ada. He thought that Ada would be as charming as those aristocratic ladies in London.
Soon to fall.
Unexpectedly, Ada was not hypocritical to Philip Sassoon at all. When Philip Sassoon kept chattering, Ada directly retorted: "Mr. Sassoon, on this solemn occasion, I think you should keep quiet and don't let others
Laughing at your frivolity."
Oh, this "frivolous" is used so well. Philip Sassoon is not a shameless person. He can be called a "perfect bachelor". Philip Sassoon is still well-educated, so Philip Sassoon remains
Be quiet until the ceremony is over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the ceremony ended, Ada came directly to Rock to avoid Philip Sassoon's entanglement.
“What did that guy say to you?” Henry looked like he wanted to be beaten.
“Shut up!” Ada kept smiling and squeezed out from between her teeth.
Even though Henry is Rock's eldest uncle, Henry and Ada actually have a very good relationship. That's how white people are, one code belongs to the other. As long as Ada doesn't destroy Rock and Phyllis's family, Henry will.
Can turn a blind eye.
Hi, that thing about men is really normal.
“It seems that someone is determined not to give up.” Stoudemire was just watching the fun and did not mind the trouble. Philip Sassoon was indeed unwilling to give up and was walking towards Phyllis and Rock.
"God, please help me." Ada looked helpless at this time, and immediately attracted strange looks from Henry and Xiao Si.
What to wear?
Who in southern Africa doesn’t know that Ada is a rose with thorns? In front of Roque, Ada is as pitiful as a little woman. In Roque’s absence, Ada transforms into a queen in minutes.
Roque smiled and picked up a glass of champagne and handed it to Ada.
Ada immediately beamed with pride.
“Good evening, Lord Nyasaland, Lord Farwalt, Lord Rhodesia.” Philip Sassoon was quite polite.
"Hello, my lord," Roark replied with a smile. Philip Sassoon's title is a knight. He is not a high-class person. He does not need to be compared with a marquis. He is not even as good as a baronet.
“Lord, on behalf of my father, I only want to express his respect for you.” Philip Sassoon also knew that he was not worthy enough, so he directly carried his father out.
Philip Sassoon's father seems to have been a baronet, vice-president of the London Jewish Studies Society and the Anglo-Jewish Association.
As for the name
Not important.
Rock didn’t speak and watched Philip Sassoon’s performance quietly.
"Lord Nyasaland, I happened to be looking for you. As you know, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy are preparing to upgrade combat aircraft." Philip Sassoon said while paying attention to Rock's expression.
Rock kept smiling, cordially but restrained, which probably gave Philip Sassoon the wrong impression.
"So, I came to you on the order of His Excellency the Prime Minister, hoping to have further and closer cooperation with Nyasaland Air. The Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy hope that Nyasaland Air can provide the most advanced technology and skilled technology.
personnel to produce the world's most advanced aircraft in the UK. Of course, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force will pay a portion of the cost to Nyasaland Aviation as appropriate. Of course, the name of this fee cannot be technology transfer costs, but the Royal Air Force and the Royal Air Force.
"The Navy's subsidies to the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa" Philip Sassoon kept talking. Before Rock could even speak, Henry and Stoudemire burst into laughter.
"Wahahahahaha, is this guy crazy? What did he just say? Subsidy? Wowhahahaha, Nyasaland Airlines needs subsidies from the Royal Air Force? You might as well laugh to death and let me forget it." Stoudemire burst into tears with laughter.
, this is probably the funniest joke he has ever heard in his life.
"Haha Sir Sassoon, right? I don't know what you are thinking. Sorry, I don't care. I just think you are a little whimsical. Did you mean what you just said, the Prime Minister?" Henry was out of breath, already a lot.
No one has spoken to Rock in such a tone in years.
"Lord Rhodesia, Lord Fawalt, what do you mean?" Philip Sassoon's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He never expected that Henry and Xiaosi's attitude would be so bad.
This time it was Rock who stepped forward. Before Henry and Stoudemire could speak, Rock raised his hand and made a wait gesture.
At this time, Rock's status became apparent. As soon as Rock raised his hand, Stoudemire, who was about to speak, immediately shut his mouth.
Henry opened his mouth wide and still looked like he was laughing, but he didn't laugh out loud.
A few people nearby seemed to have noticed something strange here, and for a while the surroundings were quiet and a bit scary.
"Sir Sassoon, if the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force want to get the most advanced fighter technology, then please show real sincerity. I'm sorry, Nyasaland Airlines does not need subsidies from the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. Our technology" Luo
Ke paused, and in Philip Sassoon's expectant eyes, he gently raised a finger: "It's priceless!"
Philip Sassoon's expression was simply wonderful. He had indeed misjudged the situation. These frontier officials in southern Africa were far more difficult to deal with than Philip Sassoon imagined. The most perfect bachelor was in the circle of ladies.
It is indeed very popular here, but among this group of straight men in southern Africa, Philip Sassoon seems to have no market.
At this time, Ada calmly held Roque's arm.
Henry's face looked as if he had stepped in dog poop when he went out in the morning.
Philip in the distance was chatting happily with Kitchina and Ade, and he didn’t know what happy things he was talking about. The three old men were all laughing evilly, and the most reserved Ade was laughing heartily.
Stoudemire seemed to be looking at Philip Sassoon with a smile, but in fact his eyes were colder than the ice cubes in the quilt.
Philip Sassoon suddenly felt a chill running through his body.
