In fact, there is really not much money to be made by waging war against the Nepalese government.

If Roque really launches a war against the Nepali government, the purpose is not for money, but for the Gurkha mercenaries in Nepal.

In name, Nepal is still the Kingdom of Nepal. In 1814, a war broke out between Britain and Nepal. Nepal was forced to cede a large area of ​​territory to British India, accept British supervision, and become a British protectorate.

In 1846, the pro-British general Junggar Rana launched a coup. The king of Nepal lost power and the Rana family became the hereditary prime minister and actually controlled Nepal.

At the beginning, the British government wasted a lot of effort to govern Nepal, but it didn't matter to Rock. Rock now also has Gurkha mercenaries in his hands, and the equipment of Rock's troops is more advanced. It is easy to defeat Nepal.

Rock didn't worry about this problem at all.

If Roque defeats the Nepalese government, then Roque can immigrate from Nepal unscrupulously, thus obtaining a steady stream of labor force and loyal and brave mercenaries.

Don't think that only mercenaries are available in Nepal. That's because the Gurkhas in Nepal can only work as mercenaries and have no other way out.

Given the character of the Gurkhas, if they go to farms or factories, can't they become excellent workers?

It is definitely possible, but in Nepal, they have no farms or factories to enter, and no way to function, so they can only become soldiers.

Rock believed that after the families of these Gurkha mercenaries went to Johannesburg, they would become the best employees on the farm and the best workers in the factory, because they were obedient enough and would give back to anyone who gave them food.

Who is working hard? In addition to the Transvaal, there are already many Indians in southern Africa, so Rock doesn't mind adding some Gurkhas. Compared with Indians who can't stick to the wall, Rock still prefers them.

Gurkhas.

Lord Belloc obviously did not have as much courage as Roark and was very worried about Roark's attitude.

"Locke, the current Prime Minister of Nepal has a good relationship with us. We don't need to go to war. Of course, I didn't say you can't immigrate, but can you do it more covertly and don't let others catch you?" Lord Bellock changed.

An argument.

Rock understood immediately. It would have been so easy to say so earlier.

Ustam never showed up, and anyway, there was no similar massacre in Nakla. Rock had fulfilled his promise to Lord Belloc, so Rock went to Kathmandu with peace of mind to see the actual situation in Nepal.

The person in charge, General Rana.

Kathmandu is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas. The Himalayas serve as a natural barrier to shield Kathmandu from the cold winds from the north. To the south of the city is the warm current of the Indian Ocean. The unique geographical environment makes the average annual temperature here about 20 degrees Celsius. The climate is pleasant, the sun is shining all year round, and the greenery is green.

With lush trees and blooming flowers, it is a world-famous tourist attraction.

Well, world civilization is a bit exaggerated. No one cares about the quality of Kathmandu's environment these days. There are many places with good environment. It is a serious matter to ensure that the people have enough to eat.

It is obvious that the residents of Kathmandu do not have enough to eat. After entering Kathmandu, most of the residents Rock saw along the way were in ragged clothes and had disheveled faces. Many of them were obviously malnourished. Rock's motorcade appeared in Kathmandu

On the street, countless beggars immediately came around. They didn't care whether they would be hit by a car. Hunger had made them forget all fear.

Hilton Robert's way of clearing the road was simple and clear. While scattering the candies in his hand on the roadside to attract hungry people to grab them, he also whipped the beggars in front of the car. The convoy quickly broke out of the encirclement.

"These beggars should go to hell. They have nothing to do all day long. They are simply the abscess of the city." Rock is a nobleman. When he comes to Kathmandu, Hilton Robert will definitely accompany him all the way.

Roque didn't want to talk. Even if these beggars want to do something, they have to have something to do. Everyone wants to live with dignity, and no one wants to beg from others, but in this situation in Kathmandu

It is estimated that there are only Johannesburg without beggars in the world. In Johannesburg, all beggars are sent to the mines to dig. Although this work is a bit tiring, at least they can eat well and not starve to death.

For those who don't want to work, the Johannesburg city government will not compromise. It is not the beggars who have the final say whether they want to work or not. It is compulsory. If you don't want to work in the mines, you will go to jail.

If you go to jail, you will also have to go to the mines, and you won't even get a salary.

Very simple multiple choice question.

Of course there is another option, which is to leave Johannesburg, but that is not the problem of the Johannesburg City Council.

"How is the situation in Kathmandu?" Rock was still concerned about General Rana, not the beggars in Kathmandu.

It’s not that Roque is unloving, he just can’t care enough. There are too many beggars in the world. If Roque cares about beggars when he sees them, then even if he spends all his wealth, he won’t be able to solve the problem.

"It has always been like this. Ever since the Rana family launched a coup in the last century, the king has been under house arrest in Hanuman Dhoka Palace, and the Prime Minister lives in Narayanhiti Palace. You will know later, Lord, Narayanshi

The Ti Palace is much more beautiful than the Hanuman Dhoka Palace." Hilton Robert lives in Kathmandu and is already familiar with Kathmandu.

Narayanhiti Palace is located in the center of Kathmandu. It is the private residence of the Rana family. It was later given to the king and became the king's palace and later became the national museum.

From the evolution of Narayanhiti Palace, we can clearly see the transfer of power in Nepal. The current Prime Minister still lives in Narayanhiti Palace, and Roque's destination is also here.

When you arrive in Nepal, you don’t visit the king, but you visit the prime minister. This is also a Nepalese characteristic.

General Rana still attaches great importance to Roque's visit. After all, not many British nobles come to Nepal all year round, and Roque is also a military aristocrat with a military rank. General Rana can stop Roque's unscrupulous immigration.

Protested to the British government, but when he met Roque, General Lanner acted very cordially, as if the previous protest did not exist.

Sitting down in the splendid main living room, Rock was not used to it. The decoration of this living room was too luxurious. Looking over, everything was covered with gold. Nepalese and Indians like gold very much, even poor people.

You need to get a chain made of brass and hang it around your neck and fill it with gold. People who don’t know the details think that Nepal and India are full of gold. In fact, this is not the case at all.

The decoration in Narayanhiti Palace must be made of genuine gold. Wherever gold can be used, it is all decorated with gold. The walls are decorated with gold foil. When the light shines on it, the entire living room becomes a bit scary.

, even Hilton Robert’s face is yellow.

That's right, Hilton Robert also had to be present when Roque met with General Lanner. This was out of politeness and also to monitor Roque.

Rock didn't care at all. The purpose of coming to see General Rana was not to join forces with the Nepalese government to overthrow the British government, so there was nothing to hide. In the living room, apart from Hilton Robert and General Rana's personal secretary, there were also other people in the living room.

There was no one else, so Rock got right to the point.

"I am very grateful to the Nepalese government for its cooperation in recruiting troops from Nepal for the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division. I have some personal gifts here as a gift to General Rana." Roque did not beat around the bush. This time he came to General Rana just to give gifts.

, if you have something to say, say it face to face.

"Lord Nyasaland, thank you very much for your kindness. The relationship between the Nepalese government and London has always been very close, and we are honored to serve the British Empire." General Rana is indeed a pro-British faction, and he has a genuine interest in Rock.

The British nobleman, General Lannes, did not dare to neglect.

The gifts that Rock brought to General Rana were not gold, but Lee Enfields, Ruger pistols, and general machine guns produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal.

What is the Rana family that was most worried about after a coup?

Of course, other people also relied on coups to oust the Rana family from power. For the Rana family, losing power is equivalent to annihilation. Therefore, this is a matter of life and death. To ensure power, more efforts must be made.

Weapons, more advanced weapons to arm his army, Rock is doing what he wants.

Of course, General Rana was also familiar with Lee Enfield. When Rock came to Narayanhiti Palace, he found that the guard was equipped with Lee Enfield.

However, the Nepali army should not be generally equipped with Lee Enfields. The British government still has relatively strict control over Lee Enfields. If it had not been for the Boer War, the armies in southern Africa would not have had the opportunity to equip Lee Enfields.

General Rana was relatively unfamiliar with the Ruger and general-purpose machine guns.

Although the Ruger has appeared, it has not attracted people's attention. The general-purpose machine gun has not appeared in front of the world at all. Only the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesia Division are equipped with it, so General Rana immediately launched an attack on the general-purpose machine gun.

Machine guns aroused great interest.

"The biggest advantage of the general-purpose machine gun is that most parts of the light machine gun and the heavy machine gun are interchangeable. In fact, the structures are the same. The one using a bipod is a light machine gun, and the one using a tripod is a heavy machine gun. This will greatly reduce the logistical pressure.

To facilitate the use of military equipment, the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division has been equipped with general-purpose machine guns. During the counter-insurgency process in Natal, the general-purpose machine guns performed well. We are recommending them to the Ministry of War and hope that British troops can use this kind of machine gun all over the world.

The most advanced machine gun." Rock strongly recommended it. In other words, even the British army has not yet had time to equip it with a general-purpose machine gun.

Of course, what Rock gave to General Rana was a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun. If General Rana wanted to get more, he would have to place an order with the Nyasaland Arsenal.

Looks a bit cheesy, right?

Don't say that, other people just place orders, and Roque still doesn't sell them.
