Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

It is impossible to say that Owen has no complaints in his heart.

Of Philip's three sons, Henry already has a title, and Arnold will definitely have a title in the future. Only Irving can't get the upper hand or the lower one.

It was not easy for Irving to finally find a route that suited him. Arnold did not help or say anything, but instead jumped out to make his presence felt. This was really annoying for Irving.

endure?

Bear with me, you idiot!

Arnold probably didn't expect that Irving would be so disrespectful. He is a person who would rather me betray the world than let the world betray me. He can only do the first grade of junior high school, and no one can do the fifteenth grade. Now Irving gives him

It feels equally strange.

"Congressman Arnold Matilda, please return to your seat." Owen ignored Arnold's mood and did not give Arnold a chance to continue speaking.

With a livid face, Arnold didn't bother, and returned to his seat angrily, and then gave several other National Party MPs a wink.

Both Bruce Hughes and Adam Stephens pretended not to see it.

At this time, no one dares to jump out and touch Owen and Rock's troubles. Owen's attitude is very obvious. Everyone knows why Rock appeared in the parliament. Jumping out at this time is courting death. That is, Arnold is so stubborn that he dares

Jump out and give it a try. The others don't have any connections with Arnold, so let's forget it.

No one is stupid.

"If no one wants to speak, then we will start voting now." Irving did not delay and quickly got to the point.

The voting results are gratifying. All 35 members voted, 31 in favor and four against. The voting results are valid, and Chinese has officially become the official language of the Johannesburg region.

The greatest significance of becoming an official term is that the status of Chinese in Johannesburg has been officially recognized. From now on, all documents issued by the Johannesburg City Council and the city government must have a Chinese version in addition to the original English version. All documents in the Johannesburg area must

The place names must also be indicated in Chinese. Chinese people no longer need to hire translators when they go to the city council and municipal government agencies to do business. All these costs are borne by the government.

Roque was of course very satisfied with the result. After the voting, the day's meeting agenda was all over. In order to express his gratitude, Roque decided to hold a dinner on the weekend, and all MPs were welcome to attend.

This invitation is not forced, and if some people don't want to go, Roque doesn't force it.

The weekend soon came, and Anna had been leading Bella and the servants to work since the morning. Rock ignored him and entertained guests from far away in the study.

The Russo-Japanese War has been going on for nearly nine months. Both the Japanese Empire and the Russian Empire are exhausted. The cruelty of the war is beyond imagination. The war materials stored by the Japanese Empire and the Russian Empire for the war have been exhausted. The person who came to visit Rock was the Japanese Embassy in the UK.

The counselor of the embassy, ​​Yamaguchi Muxiang, came here not only to buy medicine, but also to buy weapons and ammunition from Nyasaland.

"Lord Nyasaland, it's a pleasure to meet you." Yamaguchi Muxiang was dressed in a black suit, vest, tie, tuxedo and hat. He also brought a gift to Rock, a sword from the Qing Dynasty.

It was only when Rock met Yamaguchi Muxiang that he realized why the Japanese were called "Little Japan".

Rock once thought that the term "Little Japan" was deliberately derogatory to the Japanese and was created to insult the Japanese, because in Rock's impression, the Japanese were not short in height.

Yamaguchi Kisho "subverted" Rock's impression of the Japanese. Rock's visual inspection revealed that Yamaguchi Kisho was only about 1.4 meters tall, and the big man was definitely taller than Yamaguchi Kisho when he stood up.

It will indeed make Japan smaller!

Of course, Rock was still polite on the surface. He shook hands and smiled cordially: "Welcome, Mr. Yamaguchi. I hope you can have a pleasant stay in Ziwei Town."

The two sat down separately. Yamaguchi Muxiang was a little embarrassed. He sat on the chair with his heels not touching the ground.

Rock pretended not to see it, and Zach came over to serve tea respectfully, and then stood behind Rock.

It is estimated that Rock was in Yamaguchi Muxiang's heart, and he immediately stood up.

In this era, most of the time, Orientals are naturally bowed down in front of white people. It is normal for yellow people to serve white people, but it is rare for white people to serve yellow people.

Especially for the Japanese, Rock can enjoy the service of white people so peacefully, which seems incredible to Yamaguchi Kisho.

Thinking of Rock's identity, Yamaguchi Kisho was immediately relieved. After all, Rock was a baronet of the British Empire and his status in the UK was still very high. Yamaguchi Kisho worked in the embassy in the UK all year round and knew the situation in the UK very well.

Before Rock, Yamaguchi Muxiang had never heard that Orientals could become nobles of the British Empire.

"Lord Nyasaland, I heard that the Johannesburg Medical College has developed a special medicine for treating wounds, so I came to Johannesburg, hoping to learn more about this medicine." Yamaguchi Muxiang's attitude towards Rock was very respectful.

, he also made a deliberate half-bow when he spoke. He probably couldn't feel it himself. It was really funny for a guy of his size to do this on a chair.

Funny as it is, Rock doesn't mean to despise the Japanese Empire. Although Rock is very aware of the Japanese ambitions, Rock has to admit that the Japanese Empire in this era is still very courageous.

If nothing else, let’s talk about the ongoing Russo-Japanese War. Although this war is not just in nature, it is the first time that an Eastern country has defeated a Western colonial country in a large-scale war. It is a subversion of the traditional colonial system.

The Russo-Japanese War is also known as the "Zeroth World War", which shows the significance of the Russo-Japanese War in the history of world wars.

It can also be seen from another perspective that Japan is actually very good at speculation. During the Sino-Japanese War, Japan actually ran out of gas at the end of the war. Li Zhongtang was assassinated during the Shimonoseki negotiations. In order to let Japan surrender as soon as possible,

When Li Zhongtang signed the contract, he had to reduce the original compensation amount requested by 100 million, otherwise the compensation amount in the Shimonoseki Treaty would not be 200 million taels of silver, but 300 million taels.

The same was true for the Russo-Japanese War. When the war broke out, Japan was also unprepared for war. However, with the support of Britain, Japan brazenly provoked the Russo-Japanese War. This was also a gamble on the fate of the country.

Rock doesn't care who wins or loses between Japan and Russia, they are not good things anyway, and Rock doesn't feel bad no matter how many people die.

What Rock is concerned about is whether it can make money. Through the Sino-Japanese War and the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China, Japan simply sucked the blood of the Qing Dynasty, leading to the current situation.

Now it's Rock's turn to suck Japan's blood, so Rock won't be polite.

"Mr. Yamaguchi is well-informed." On the surface, you will find that Rock's expression is a bit complicated, and he doesn't seem to want to reveal too much information.

In fact, it was all acting. Rock deliberately released this news to the Japanese, otherwise the Japanese would not know about it at all.

Of course, when Rock released the news to the Japanese, he also released it to the Russians. As a result, the Japanese have now come to the door, and the Russians have not responded yet.

You deserve not to win!

"Lord Nyasaland, please be sure to sell the medicine to us, the Japanese Empire, and we will definitely offer you a price that satisfies you." Yamaguchi Kisho jumped off the chair this time and made a real ninety-degree bow.

"Okay, I will arrange for you to visit the ongoing experiments at the medical school tomorrow." Roque said with ease. If you want the Japanese to take the bait, you must be willing to take the bait.

"Thank you very much. I also heard that Nyasaland can produce Maxim heavy machine guns and 75mm infantry rapid-fire cannons. If so, we can also spend a lot of money to buy them." Yamaguchi Kisho's requirements are high. Japan is currently in short supply of weapons and ammunition, and the world is

All the arms dealers are sharpening their knives.

"No!" Roque refused simply this time. Maxim could still discuss it and don't even think about the 75mm infantry rapid-fire cannon. If Roque sold the gun to the Japanese, the French would probably fight for Roque.

After the Franco-Prussian War, France regarded Germany as its biggest opponent. The 75mm infantry rapid-fire cannon was regarded as top secret in France. If it were not for the special relationship between Britain and France, Roque would not have received the 75mm infantry rapid-fire cannon, so this thing was

It’s not that I don’t want to sell, it’s that I can’t sell.

"Lord Nyasaland, please!" Yamaguchi Muxiang bowed ninety degrees again.

The etiquette is indeed thoughtful, but the request is too excessive, and Rock cannot agree.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, why do you focus on the 75mm infantry rapid-fire cannon? There are many weapons more suitable for the Japanese Empire in the Nyasaland Arsenal. Maybe you can consider it." Rock definitely does not sell Miss 75, but the others are

Easy to discuss.

In order to kill the Japanese, Rock was also well prepared. The Northern Rhodesian Division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division have now been equipped with general-purpose machine guns, and the eliminated Maxims were just sold to the Japanese.

Nyasaland Arsenal also prepared mortars, which is more suitable for Japan's actual situation than Miss 75.

There is no need to keep mortars secret now. Even if Rock doesn't sell them, the Russians will invent mortars during the Russo-Japanese War.

The Russo-Japanese War was the first large-scale war that broke out in the world in the 20th century. In the Boer War, for some reasons, Britain did not open the battlefield. At that time, military observation groups sent by various countries in the world were left in the Cape and were not allowed to go there at all.

There was only a glimmer of opportunity, so I had no impression of the Boer War.

This was mainly because Britain could not afford to lose this man. The arrogant British Expeditionary Force on the battlefield was beaten to disgrace by the Boer coalition. If this situation was seen by observation groups from various countries, it would really undermine the majesty of the British Empire.

The Russo-Japanese War did not have so many scruples. When the war broke out, both Russia and Japan thought they could easily win, so they did not impose restrictions on military observation groups from various countries. Many technological innovations brought about by the Industrial Revolution were used on a large scale.

The Russo-Japanese War, such as rapid-fire artillery, machine guns and carbines with higher shooting accuracy.
