Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Speaking of Nikola Tesla, here we have to highlight J.P. Morgan, who invested $150,000 in Nikola Tesla to build the Wardenclyffe Tower forever.

In 1901, Nikola Tesla asked for help from everywhere, hoping to build a tower on Long Island, New York, for transatlantic radio broadcasting and wireless power transmission experiments.

J.P. Morgan was not interested in wireless power transmission, and the purpose of investing in Nikola Tesla was wireless.

In 1901, Marconi, who was supported by Edison and American steel magnate Carnegie, took the lead in completing the transatlantic radio transmission experiment. J.P. Morgan stopped funding Nikola Tesla and asked Nikola Tesla to

To compensate for the losses, Nikola Tesla went bankrupt.

In 1912, the court ordered Nikola Tesla to pay $23,500 in damages to repay debts, and Wardenclyffe Tower was demolished during the World War.

Rock never expected that the reason why Nikola Tesla went bankrupt was actually because of this mere US$23,500.

This US$23,500 is only part of it. In fact, Nikola Tesla now has millions of dollars in debt, and he himself does not know how many of these debts were incurred.

Rock was very generous and agreed to help Nikola Tesla pay off all his debts after receiving Nikola Tesla's patent on remote-controlled submarines.

The amount is not important, what is important is that Rock got the gratitude of Nikola Tesla, which no amount of money can buy.

"Why did you buy this? Didn't the War Department say this thing was useless?" When leaving the New Yorker Hotel, Hoover couldn't figure out why Rock spent millions of dollars on such a gadget.

"No way? Buy it back and use it as a toy for my daughter!" Luo Ke said plausibly. His youngest daughter Rose is only eight years old this year. It is normal to sell a toy to her daughter.

Although this toy is a bit expensive.

"You are really capable!" Hoover was speechless. This reason is so powerful!

"Haha, the generals in your War Department are just a bunch of people who don't understand the actual value of remote-controlled submarines." Roque didn't want to go into too much detail. If it was too detailed, I'm afraid the U.S. government would monitor Nikola Tesla even more strictly.

.

Of course, it cannot be underestimated. Hoover knew Roark very well. Roark would not do anything meaningless. No matter how rich Roark was, he would not just pay millions of dollars casually for such nonsense reasons.

"What value?" Hoover didn't know much about Nikola Tesla himself, although Nikola Tesla served as vice president of the American Society of Engineers and was also the founder of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

"I have just said that this is a toy with great potential, but I am not only preparing it for my children, but also for all the children in the world." Rock smiled, Nicola Te

Silla is indeed not a successful businessman.

Since submarines can be controlled by remote control, can cars be controlled by remote control?

Rock still remembers that when he was a child, his biggest dream was to get a remote-controlled excavator, the kind with a shovel that would fly up and down.

Children in 1925 were similar to Rock when he was a child. If there were a remote-controlled excavator on the market, many children would be willing to change their Christmas gifts to this one.

To put it bluntly, even if a remote-controlled submarine has no military value, you can easily become a millionaire by applying it to toys.

Hoover's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. Rock's words were like opening a new door for Hoover, but it was a pity that this door was closed by Rock again.

"You are already such a rich man, you can even make a child's money——" It was then that Hoover realized that he had just missed out on several million.

You can’t blame others for this. Nikola Tesla applied for a patent related to wireless control technology in 1898, and publicly demonstrated the wireless control technology in the lake in New York’s Central Park, which was a great success.

However, no one is willing to invest in such excellent technology. There is a huge safe in room 3327 where Nikola Tesla lives. I don’t know how much is locked in that safe. It has been applied for but has not been put into use. It has not even been applied yet.

Technology.

In another time and space, Nikola Tesla had just passed away, and the U.S. Alien Property Administration couldn’t wait to move away all of Nikola Tesla’s research materials and personal belongings. Ordinarily, Nikola Tesla

Having become a U.S. citizen in 1891, the Alien Property Administration has no jurisdiction over Nikola Tesla’s property, but the U.S. government did so, and did so openly.

Nikola Tesla’s research data for the last 45 years of his life is still top secret.

In 2018, the U.S. FBI disclosed some information about Nikola Tesla, one of which showed that Nikola Tesla was really not from Earth, but from Venus——

That’s too much!

Rock doesn't care whether Nikola Tesla is a Venusian or not, as long as Nikola Tesla can bring benefits to Rock.

Ah no, in such a harmonious and beautiful day like today, how can we talk about interests? It should be said that as long as Nikola Tesla can benefit all mankind.

Rock is not an investor, but the data carrier of the safe in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel.

In the evening, at the welcome dinner hosted by John Calvin Coolidge for Rock, Rock proposed to John Calvin Coolidge that he hoped to invite Nikola Tesla to lecture at the University of Nyasaland, which is also the country in southern Africa and

Part of the American cultural exchange effort.

"Of course, no problem -" John Calvin Coolidge agreed happily and did not take Nikola Tesla to heart.

Now in 1925, Nikola Tesla has been bankrupt for 22 years. To describe Nikola Tesla in his twilight years is not an exaggeration at all.

When Nikola Tesla gave up his alternating current patent, the whole United States was praising Nikola Tesla for his high moral integrity. That was already 30 years ago.

After his bankruptcy, Nikola Tesla disappeared from people's sight, and even newspapers and magazines were not interested in Nikola Tesla's deeds.

Coupled with the suppression by some people intentionally or unintentionally, Americans have forgotten Nikola Tesla. Even Calvin Coolidge did not know the true value of Nikola Tesla.

"That's great. We can definitely cooperate more closely in education and medical care. Compared with southern Africa, the United States has a long history. Harvard and Yale have been around for hundreds of years. There are many in the field of education in the United States.

Things are worthy of learning from Southern Africa. Education in Southern Africa has also developed rapidly in recent years. A number of excellent institutions of higher learning have emerged, such as the University of Nyasaland and Johannesburg Medical College. The year before last, Professor Abu from the University of Nyasaland led a team to the United States to conduct research.

After a three-month academic exchange, we can definitely do better." Rock stated the facts and was reasonable. You see, the president of our Nyasaland University can come to the United States for exchange, and one of your bankrupt businessmen went to Southern Africa.

There should be no problem.

"Yes, Nyasaland University and Johannesburg Medical College are both great. After General Pershing came back from Europe, he talked to me about the performance of Southern African military doctors during the World War and praised their effective work. The Southern African federal government was

It has been established less than 20 years ago and has achieved such outstanding results. Please convey my respect to Lord Harewood and Lord Matilda." Calvin Coolidge still respected Adelaide and Philip. This is normal, and the British

Everything is very popular in the United States, especially in the so-called American upper class. The pursuit of Britain and the Old World is almost pathological.

Not long ago, a princess who claimed to be from the Ottoman Empire came to the United States and then mysteriously disappeared. Later, the US government investigated and found that at least hundreds of Americans were defrauded by this Ottoman Empire princess, with property losses reaching millions.

Dollar.

Roque didn't know how the Ottoman Empire princess defrauded her, but there was nothing new under the sun. Most of them were "I, Qin Shihuang, make money", or the so-called "imperial property was seized" and other such rumors.

, it is also very popular in the United States.

"Thank you. We in southern Africa have extensive common interests with the United States in many aspects. For example, in Southeast Asia, we can cooperate more closely to jointly respond to the challenges of certain new forces -" Roque said that was not true at all.

To put it bluntly, you don’t have to ask who the new force here is, it’s Japan.

After the Washington Naval Conference, the Japanese Navy obtained a total tonnage of capital ships that exceeded that of the French Navy and the Italian Navy. After the successive delivery of "Nagato" and "Mutsu", the Japanese Navy entered an unprecedented heyday.

The rapid progress of the navy has stimulated the ambitions of Japan's government and opposition parties to expand wildly. Now Japan has regarded the entire Pacific as its own private territory. At a time when British power is gradually shrinking, the United States is facing a strong challenge from Japan in the Pacific region.

The same goes for Southeast Asia. After Southern Africa obtained the Changi Naval Base, the Indian Ocean Fleet appeared majestically in the Strait of Malacca. Now Southeast Asia is a mess, with various forces mixed together, including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Japan, Portugal, East India, and now the addition of

Southern Africa is as lively as the Strait of Malacca.

"Yes, Lord, we can indeed cooperate more closely in this regard. I have recalled General Leonard Wood and appointed General MacArthur as the new US Governor in the Philippines. You have had good cooperation during the World War. I believe

It will definitely be able to better safeguard the interests of the United States and Southern Africa in Southeast Asia." Calvin Coolidge was unexpected. He seemed to be unaware of the relationship between Rock and MacArthur.

Strictly speaking, Rock and MacArthur did not have much dealings with major powers. During the World War, the American Expeditionary Force was not under Rock's jurisdiction. At most, they were just acquaintances.

However, MacArthur's strong relationship still surprised Rock. MacArthur had to bear a large responsibility for the friction between the United States and Southern Africa in Southeast Asia. In this way, he could not retreat but make progress. Rock could only lament that this was very American.
