Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The only thing valuable about "Manchester Express" is its name.

The office of "Manchester Express" is rented, and the rent is paid until the end of the year. Although it can still be used, it has no meaning.

Valentine does not have a printing house under his name. The Manchester Express signed a contract with a printing house in London, and it still owes the printing house a sum of money. The printing company claimed that if the Manchester Express cannot pay in time, it will turn the "Manchester Express" into a non-payment.

Manchester Express went to court.

The "Manchester Express" has ceased publication, violated its contract with advertising companies, and needs to pay a large sum of compensation. This money has not yet been received. If the "Manchester Express" becomes insolvent, then Valentine will go bankrupt.

Oh, by the way, the house Monica lives in now is also rented. House prices in Hampstead are not cheap, with an annual rent of 120 pounds.

"What are you going to do with the Manchester Express?" Monica finally calmed down and faced the cruel reality.

"Mrs. Valentine, we deeply sympathize with Mr. Valentine's tragedy. If you are willing to give up your husband's shares, then all the debts of the Manchester Express will have nothing to do with you. Otherwise, you must consider the consequences.

You can consult your personal lawyer." Charles smiled, this was to be wiped clean.

Monica looks at Sapir.

Sapir hesitated to speak.

Monica looked at Harriman again.

Harriman didn't look up, not daring to look Monica in the eye.

Monica turned around and left without saying a word.

Charles looked at the closed door, silently picked up the phone, and prepared to call Times News Group to see if they were interested in taking over the "Manchester Express".

Roque doesn't care about the Manchester Express, and he doesn't even know who Valentine is. The Commonwealth Games has entered the sixth day, and the Southern African delegation has won 42 gold medals, ranking first in the gold medal list.

Britain won nine gold medals, while Canada, ranked third, only had two.

In the shooting competition, Fan Rui from Lourenço Marquez performed well, winning 4 gold medals and one silver medal in the 50-meter rifle and pistol events, including the 50-meter rifle slow fire of 60 bullets in prone position.

Achieving a perfect score of 600 rings is known as a world record that can never be broken.

However, this is not necessarily true. In future shooting competitions, the perfect score will still be ten rings in the preliminaries. In the finals, the perfect score will become 10.9 rings. Achieving 600 rings is no longer out of reach.

Of course, the accuracy of the rifles used in future shooting competitions will be much higher than the Lee Enfield used at the Commonwealth Games. Technological progress is also an important factor in improving performance.

On July 21, Rock and King George V watched the equestrian competition, which is a traditional advantage event in Britain.

Equestrian is not a horse race. Horse racing competes in speed, while equestrian competition competes in skills. The German athlete Anne Clark competed on behalf of southern Africa. When Anne Clark appeared on the stage, the audience gave Anne warm applause and cheers as usual.

"How many Germans are there in southern Africa now?" George V's focus was obviously not on the playing field.

"About 1.5 million, accounting for about 2% of the total population of southern Africa." Roque knew the data clearly without asking Louis.

This is also thanks to the census held not long ago in southern Africa. In the past, Roque would have had to prepare an ambush to avoid arousing the suspicion of George V.

Again, population represents the strength of a country in this era. The more the better, if there are 300 million people in southern Africa now——

Damn the British Empire!

"The total population of Germany seems to be only over 60 million, but there are actually 1.5 million Germans in southern Africa -" George V didn't know what to say. When the federal government of Southern Africa was established, there seemed to be less than 1.5 million British people.

In the view of George V, the British Empire just took a nap, and southern Africa developed rapidly like a miracle, just like the United States two hundred years ago, which is simply incredible.

Before the outbreak of the world war, Germany had a population of 65 million.

Now that the world war has ended several years ago, Germany's population is still 65 million, without any growth.

In fact, it must have increased. The problem is the same as that of Britain and France. Germany's population is also constantly outflowing. Britain and Germany are better and can maintain a situation of neither increase nor decrease. France is too miserable. Its population is not increasing but decreasing. From the colony

Imported labor cannot make up for the serious shortage of local labor.

Southern Africa is the main destination for European population outflows. Most of the European outflows come to Southern Africa, with the majority of them coming to Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland.

"Don't worry, the Germans who come to Southern Africa are no longer Germans." Roque is not worried. Germans who want to become Southern African citizens must take an oath.

Roque could not be honest with George V about this.

In the Ad era, the oath to obtain Southern African citizenship was - I swear: I will be faithfully loyal to His Majesty King Edward VII/George V, and his heirs and successors; I will earnestly abide by the laws of Southern Africa and perform my duties

Responsibilities of Southern African Citizens.

In the time of Philip, the oath to obtain Southern African citizenship was changed to - I hereby solemnly swear to completely renounce my citizenship and allegiance to any foreign prince, monarch, country or sovereignty to which I previously belonged.

I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the Federal Government of Southern Africa against all enemies, domestic and foreign. I will sincerely loyal to the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

When required by law, I will take up arms in defense of the Federal Government of Southern Africa. When required by law, I will perform non-war military service for the Federal Government of Southern Africa. When required by law, I will serve under the command of government officials.

The country does important work.

I hereby voluntarily swear that there will be no mental obstacles, excuses or reservations.

May God help me.

So in southern Africa, regardless of whether they are German, French, or even British, as long as they take southern African citizenship, southern Africa is the only country they are loyal to.

During the World War, the Germans in southern Africa, like other southern African citizens, donated money to the federal government of southern Africa and contributed their efforts to defeat the enemy.

It was not until the end of the World War that some southern African Germans donated money to the hungry people in Germany.

These are two completely different concepts.

Anne Clark was an excellent athlete. She and her horse worked in perfect harmony and completed the competition with a set of nearly perfect movements. Even the other athletes and coaches watching on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud Anne.

All five judges gave a perfect score of 10. Anne won the championship without any doubt, the runner-up was a British athlete, and the third-placed athlete was from southern Africa.

It doesn't matter, regardless of which country's athletes won the championship, the British national anthem was played.

The flag is different.

The British flag is the Union Jack, and the Southern African flag is the orange, white, and blue tricolor flag. This was determined when the Southern African federal government was established.

This is also normal. Southern Africa is not the only one to use its own national flag. The Australian flag is the Union Jack plus six stars, and the Canadian flag is the Union Jack plus a shield.

If we must talk about differences, only southern Africa has completely abandoned the union flag. Judging from the flag, it has nothing to do with the British Empire.

After watching the equestrian competition, George V was very happy. Although the British athletes only came in second place, it did not affect George V's mood.

In the afternoon, King George V did not watch the game, but visited the National Library and the National Museum in Pretoria.

Roque will preside over the ministerial meeting in the afternoon, and Stoudemire will accompany George V to visit.

Stoudemire doesn't like George V very much.

But I don’t hate it either. The King of England during the old Cecil Rhodes era was Queen Victoria, and there was Edward VII between George V and Queen Victoria.

The National Library in Pretoria is located in the middle of King's Road. It was built in 1918 and covers an area of ​​280,000 square meters. It has a collection of 11 million books, 25 reading rooms and more than 5,000 seats. In terms of scale, it is only the largest in Nepal.

The Asaland State Library and the Nyasaland University Library can be found alongside the National Library.

"11 million volumes! Is it really that many?" George V exclaimed in admiration. Pretoria is not only a garden city, but also very advanced in culture.

Unfortunately, Pretoria is still not the cultural center of southern Africa, Nyasalando is.

"Indeed, there are, and many of them are ancient classics from Greece and the Far East. If Greek professors want to study Greek history, they have to come to southern Africa to look up information." Xiaosi is proud. Everyone knows that Roque attaches great importance to culture.

The size of the Desia State Library is actually not small.

There are many libraries in Southern Africa, even in public primary schools. Every year, federal governments at all levels spend millions of rands on cultural promotion.

If you invest, you will gain. When Southern Africa was founded, there was not even a unified language. Now English and Chinese have become the recognized official languages ​​​​of Southern Africa. Boer has long been thrown into the clouds. Except for Orange State, other states have issued official documents.

At that time, there was not even a Boolean version.

Nominally, Boer is still the official language of southern Africa.

The appearance of the National Library in Pretoria resembles an open book. Perhaps because there are not enough seats in the library, the steps in front of the library are full of young people reading.

This is not because the elderly in Southern Africa don’t like to read, but because the young people in Southern Africa are polite and leave the work to the elderly as much as possible. They don’t care. They sit on the steps in front of the door, read a book for a while, and then

It is actually very comfortable to look at the distant scenery, breathe in the fresh air, and share your reading experience with friends around you.

Seeing such a scene in the eyes of George V, he felt inexplicably shocked.

George V received an elite education since childhood and must have known the power of culture.

Unlike the British and American elites who tried to monopolize cultural knowledge, southern Africa did not seem to pay attention to this point, which made George V feel heavy.
