Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

If Rock and Roosevelt had not met in Liberia, Rock would not have known that although Southern Africa has embassies and consulates in Liberia, it has not yet established formal diplomatic relations with Liberia.

It's normal when you think about it. Southern Africa used to be a member of the Commonwealth, and Liberia is Africa's "little America." If the two younger brothers have anything to talk about, it doesn't depend on the boss's face.

The "little America" ​​here simply refers to the system and strength of Liberia, not to mention southern Africa, even the Kingdom of Congo.

Liberia has a tropical monsoon climate, with an average annual temperature of about 25 degrees. In summer, from January to May, the average daily maximum temperature is about 31 degrees. In winter, from July to September, the average daily maximum temperature does not exceed 28 degrees.

Liberia's economy is highly dependent on exports. In its early years, Liberia's economy was severely affected by the United States, and Firestone became a state within a state in Liberia.

Things have improved in recent years. After the Nyasaland Company entered Liberia, Liberia began to export precious wood and natural rubber to southern Africa, especially rosewood, which is abundant in Liberia and is very popular in southern Africa.

In accordance with the Secret Service's request, the Rhodesia Hotel vacated the entire hotel within a week, and then all employees went on vacation. The Secret Service came in to take over. At this time, the team working on the front line for Roosevelt arrived belatedly.

"Sorry, this place has been booked by us, you have to find another place." The entire hotel has now been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter.

That's right, Mark Simon, deputy captain of the Whitehall Police Force, never expected that even he would become an idle person.

Police team!

Listening to this name, a quaint atmosphere from the last century comes to my face. Can't I use a nicer name? It's not like I can't use it.

The United States actually has a Secret Service, which was established in 1865. Its original main responsibility was to combat counterfeit currency.

Do you see clearly that Americans are not honest and will be counterfeiting banknotes in 1865, and the situation has become serious enough that the US government has to set up a separate department to deal with it.

In 1894, the Secret Service began to informally and part-time protect the President of the United States.

After President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901, the Secret Service began to fully take over the president's security work and sent two personal bodyguards to the president.

two

It feels like the U.S. Secret Service is not very dedicated at this time.

It wasn't until 1908 that the Secret Service expanded its protection to presidential candidates, and it was at this time that the Secret Service was established.

The president of the United States at that time was Roosevelt Jr.'s uncle.

"Hey, hey, hey, the hotel is so big, can't we give out half of it?" Mark Simon was also helpless. Liberia's economy is not developed. There is only one decent hotel in the city, the Rhodesia Hotel, and there are only two hotels in the whole city.

In Marc Simon's opinion, the presidential suite is one suite for Rock and another for Roosevelt. After meetings during the day, you can even visit for tea or something in the evening. It's perfect.

"Monrovia is not your American colony. Ask the president to give up his presidential palace." Li Yan, dressed in a black uniform, is smart and neat. He has worked in the Secret Service in the past few years and his temper has improved a lot. He is no longer

The character who used to draw a gun whenever he disagreed with me.

"Don't talk nonsense. We in the United States are a civilized country and have never colonized any country." Mark Simon was shocked. The United States has now begun to become politically correct.

"Ha" Li Yan sneered in response. The United States has no colonies, so what is the Philippines?

However, according to American logic, the Philippines really does not count. It is a democratic country supported by the United States, and it is two different things from a colony among the American population.

It's not good to talk at the door. The hotel lobby has sofas, air-conditioning, drinks, fruits, snacks, etc. This makes Marc Simon envious.

After all, Rock hasn't arrived yet, so these drinks, fruits, snacks, etc. are all prepared for the Secret Service staff.

It is said that the White House Police Force will be merged into the Secret Service this year.

But Marc Simon still envies Li Yan.

The comparison between people is so irritating. They are all Secret Service. Look at the Secret Service in the Palace of Justice, and then look at the police force in Whitehall. Although the height is not much different, the equipment is quite different, and the mental outlook is completely different.

Specifically, it is the difference between a handmade custom suit and a cheap casual suit.

This is really not sour. Li Yan is now wearing a well-fitting custom-made suit, a silk shirt, clear-textured crocodile leather shoes, and a clear golden "E" on the belt buckle at the waist. Everywhere shows his extraordinary luxury.

breath.

Ugh, this description made Marc Simon very unhappy. That shit was extraordinary. In Marc Simon's opinion, this was clearly a nouveau riche who wanted to wrap himself in banknotes.

Hey, in the past, the adjective "nouveau riche" was usually used to describe Americans.

Of course, what made Marc Simon sour was that the Secret Service of the Palace of Justice had its own badge, and it was a falcon grabbing the earth.

Look at yourself again. You are wearing a shabby, cheap suit. It has pilled and deformed due to lack of careful care. The collar and cuffs of your shirt have become frayed. Needless to say, leather shoes are not of the same grade as cowhide and crocodile skin.

Moreover, Max Simon's pants may be a little long and a little loose, so the traces of dirt on the back of the pants legs from being stepped on by heels are particularly obvious.

It can only be said that the funding of the Whitehall Police Force is indeed not as high as that of the Secret Service of the Palace of Justice.

Mark Simon could only use this excuse to comfort himself. This can be regarded as the glorious tradition of poverty owned by the Whitehall Police Force!

This is really not a black America. If you take a look at the U.S. Secret Service now, it still maintains the tradition of thrift. The pistols issued are old models from who knows how long ago, and you don’t know whether they still have rifling.

Anyway, I didn’t have much chance to shoot, they were all just fake.

Are they all colleagues? As we were chatting, we got sidetracked, and I know why we got sidetracked into income.

"Forget it, the Secret Service pays very little, and they often work overtime. They only get two days off a week, and they don't even have time to reunite with their families." When Li Yan mentioned work, he immediately felt like an old man who had worked for decades.

Start complaining.

"It's the same for us. We only have so little money every year. We don't want to buy a first-class ticket to buy a ticket. Otherwise, we have to pay for it ourselves. We are nervous and neurotic every day. We look like assassins to everyone. We don't put it under the pillow when we sleep.

You can't sleep with a gun, and there are still people watching you every day to make sure you don't make mistakes. When buying a cup of coffee, you have to ask if you are using public funds." Marc Simon's life is not easy, it's an American characteristic.

If the danger for the French Prime Minister is that he will lose his job at some point, the danger for the President of the United States is that he will die at some point.

So the job of Whitehall Police, it's really hard work.

"Fortunately, our benefits are good. All equipment expenses and other expenses are reimbursed, overtime pay is paid, business trips are subsidized, and there are also welfare benefits such as housing allocation, paid holidays, etc." Li Yan couldn't help but show off his superiority.

Showing off your superiority depends on who you are with.

If you want to show off, you have to show off in front of the most powerful country in the world. If Marc Simon is Liberian, Li Yan will definitely not be interested.

"What are the benefits?" Marc Simon was in a turbulent mood. As expected, the handmade suit was reimbursed.

Before Li Yan had time to speak, there was a sudden noise at the door of the hotel.

"The Rhodesia Hotel doesn't accept customers. Is this the service purpose of your Rhodesia Hotel? Open your eyes and see clearly. Mr. Arabella is a VIP customer of the Rhodesia Hotel. Ask your manager to come out and see me."

The arrogant guy seems to be a butler or something, and he hasn't figured out the situation yet.

"Rhodesia Hotel does not accept individual guests during this period. Please leave immediately and do not affect our work." The staff of the Secret Service of the Palace of Justice were still very polite.

After all, the Rhodesia Hotel is a southern African enterprise, and the Secret Service's requisitioning of the Rhodesia Hotel cannot affect the reputation of the Rhodesia Hotel.

And considering Roark's safety, the fact that Roark is about to check into the Rhodesian Hotel cannot be made public.

So I could only politely send the guests away.

As a result, this kind of politeness may be seen as a sign of weakness in the eyes of the other party.

"I just said that Mr. Arabella is a VIP customer of the Rhodesia Hotel. We are not individual guests. VIP customers have the right to stay at the Rhodesia Hotel at any time." The butler was still shouting.

The Secret Service staff across the street was speechless.

No matter how VIP you are, can you still be bigger than the Prime Minister of Southern Africa?

Seeing that the housekeeper couldn't even get in, Mr. Arabella in the car next to him finally couldn't help but push the door open and get out of the car, and came over menacingly.

"What's going on with you?" Arabella was furious.

The Secret Service staff didn't even have a chance to speak. Arabella kept talking: "Bring your manager out. Is this how you serve your guests?"

At this time, Li Yan and Marc Simon walked out of the door at the same time.

The captain of the First Team of the Southern African Secret Service and the deputy captain of the U.S. Whitehall Police Force are providing services to you at the same time. Are you honored or honored? Are you touched or not?

It must be said that people with titles have that so-called "aura" that cannot be described in words.

So as soon as Li Yan and Marc Simon appeared, Mr. Arabella's momentum immediately dropped a lot.

"Sorry sir, the Rhodesia Hotel has been booked by us, so we cannot provide services to you during this period. Please leave immediately, otherwise we will use coercive measures." Li Yan is still patient, and it seems that he will wait for a while.

If you set up a barrier or something at the intersection, any car can drive directly in front of the hotel, which is a safety hazard.

"Book the entire hotel?" Arabella was stunned. He was a VIP and knew how much it would cost to book the hotel for a day.

I definitely don’t know how much it costs, because Mr. Arabella didn’t pay for it either.
