How harsh the way of the big men is can be seen from the people around them.

In order to have no color on the head, all the men in the harem have to be castrated, so it is normal to cut off people's tongues in order to keep secrets.

Zach will definitely not explain to Visacam how he doesn't have a tongue, it's good to let Visacam misunderstand it like this, sometimes Roque needs a ruthless image, which is also more conducive to the cooperation between Roque and Visacam, and when Visacam thinks about problems in the future, he will think more about whether he can afford Roque's revenge.

So the next day, Visacam sent another golden Buddha to Roque, the same size as the iron one last time, but this time it was pure gold, and he didn't dare to fool people with the gilded one again.

This is the benefit of the image, I believe that Visa will never dare to play any tricks in the process of dealing with Roque in the future.

Xia Jiu arrived in India a week later, Xia Jiu, who had a broken hand and a terrifying scar on his face, seemed to be more plump up Roque's ruthless personal image, so more rumors about Baron Nyasaland's ruthlessness spread far and wide, and rumors that Roque cut off people's hands and tongues at every turn in Africa, and there were rumors that Roque had to eat human flesh every day in Africa, and there were hundreds and ten wives, which simply described Roque as the great demon king of the world.

Roque did not bother to clear up these rumors, and like the umbrella company, the RAND Bank finally expanded its business to Calcutta, so the bankers finally had a valid reason to come to India to inspect the work, and Ida did not care about the specific situation in India, and insisted on bringing Arthur with him, which made Roque happy and worried.

Don't reunite, it's really like not seeing each other for a day.

After coming to India, Roque was pure-hearted and had few desires, and he didn't even see Uslam's legendary beautiful wife, and of course Ida wanted to reward this kind of hard-working person.

"The sanitary situation in India is really bad, you shouldn't have brought Arthur here." The satisfied Roque finally began to pour out the old accounts, which meant that Ida came very correctly, and he was indeed a little ruthless during this time.

The pearl is round and jade-no, the shrewd and capable banker is more satisfied, leaning on the unique wide open chair in India a little unrefreshed, lazily opening his mouth to respond: "Poor hygiene also depends on who is right, for ordinary Indians, the sanitary environment may not be good, for Arthur, no matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter, if something happens to Arthur, his maids will be buried with Arthur——"

Look, this is the ruthlessness, Roque's ruthlessness is really just rumors.

However, the banker is right, India's problems really only exist in the lower classes, pure whites and Indian princes and nobles, and are not greatly affected by the environment.

Ida also does everything for Arthur, there are three or four maids around Arthur all day on weekdays, taking care of Arthur in every way, Ida came to India, and he also brought a chef, and even a full-time doctor in the accompanying team, otherwise Ida would not have brought Arthur to India, in terms of the importance of Arthur, Ida is much more concerned than Roque.

Roque still has Gavin, it is impossible to pour all his love into Arthur, but Arthur is all of Ada, and even in Ada's heart, Roque has to shoot the second place, so there is really nothing to worry about this problem.

Thinking of Arthur's specific situation, Roque also smiled dumbly, and found that he was indeed a bit overkill.

It can only be said that the impression that India left on Roque before was too bad, so India became a flood beast in Roque's eyes.

In fact, that's not the case at all, the Chinese are also flood beasts in the eyes of some Europeans, war, ignorance, religious deserts, etc., etc., as long as people are willing, they will always find countless excuses for their dislikes, in fact, the specific situation of the Chinese Luo Ke is very clear, although the Chinese are not all saints, but they are definitely not as unbearable as described by the "Yellow Peril Theory".

In the evening, Roque and Ada attend Count Minto's dinner.

The dinner was specially held for Ida by Count Minto, and it was at this time that Roque learned that Ida actually had the title of countess on her head, although this count came from the Bourbon dynasty that had fallen, but in the European society that valued the aristocratic system, Ada's status was still very high.

It's no wonder that Ida was in Cape Town before, and a female streamer could mix like a fish in water.

From another point of view, it is also correct that Ida did not disclose her relationship with Roque at the beginning, otherwise Roque would really become the target of public criticism, and it would be impossible to become a British nobleman.

Arthur hadn't seen Roque for a long time, and he was very happy to see Roque, holding Roque's hand, and he was reluctant to let go for a minute.

So Roque, Ida, and Arthur, who appeared in front of Count Minto, were a perfect family of three.

It's really Arthur's hair that is too conspicuous, and when he stands with Roque, anyone will subconsciously think that this is father and son.

Of course, the Count of Minto will not break this point, and he doesn't even pay much attention to Arthur, after all, this kind of thing is also normal in England, and the king is said to have many illegitimate children, and the British nobles are not qualified to blame the French aristocracy for chaos and whatever.

In fact, it's all a raccoon dog.

Of course, appearing in front of Count Minto with Ida did raise Count Minto's evaluation of Roque again, and then Count Minto seemed to inadvertently propose to transfer the new 1st Cavalry Division back to Calcutta.

The implication is that with Ada's relationship, it is not very appropriate to throw Roque and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division into the center of the vortex in Dhaka.

Roque doesn't care, Dhaka's situation is indeed a little more complicated, but Kolkata is not much better, on the contrary, Roque is more comfortable in Dhaka, there are too many British and Indian princes and nobles in Kolkata, and Roque has to be restrained in doing things, far less than Dhaka's freewheeling.

A very normal choice, the result is very rare in the eyes of Count Minto: "Lord Nyasaland, you are indeed a model of the empire, I have never seen anyone willing to give up the working environment of Calcutta and voluntarily go to the poor country of Dhaka, let us make a toast to the longevity of our empire, to the empire, to the king!" ”

The last two sentences, of course, were addressed to everyone in the audience.

At this time, the British and Indian princes and nobles present were also very politically correct, and even Ida raised a glass with a smile on her face.

"To the Empire!"

"To the King!"

Then the atmosphere of the banquet was more harmonious and warm, and Ida was indeed good at dancing with long sleeves, and inadvertently facilitated several transactions.

In fact, there are more opportunities in an economically underdeveloped region like India, don't think that the economy is underdeveloped is no money, in fact, this is not the case at all, money is there, but it is concentrated in the hands of a few people, most people have no money, so there is no money to consume, and the consumption of rich people, even if it is luxury, there is an upper limit after all.

In Johannesburg, the RAND Bank does not refuse to come, whether it is rich or not, to open an account with the RAND Bank, the RAND Bank will treat it warmly.

It's different in India, where most Indians don't have the need to deal with banks at all, so the main target audience for RAND Bank is the wealthy.

The demand of India's rich people in this regard is indeed very large, because the gap between the rich and the poor is too serious, so the rich people are worried about being beaten by local tyrants, and more officials still have gray income to deal with, and it is not appropriate to put these incomes in the Imperial Bank or other banks, the Imperial Bank is subject to the supervision of the British government, and putting money in the Imperial Bank is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net, and other banks are not safe, maybe they will close down one day, and then the years of hard work will become a bamboo basket.

RAND Bank is the best choice, as a southern African bank, RAND Bank is backed by the Johannesburg Mining Alliance, so the ability to pay is not a problem.

Now that the Transvaal has a democratic representative system, the whole of southern Africa is seeking self-government, and the British government has less and less influence in southern Africa, the RAND Bank is the best choice for these British officials, as well as for these Indian officials and Indian princes and nobles who want to transfer their property abroad.

So the bankess was really popular, and the Earl of Minto felt a little left out.

No one cares about Roque's side, and the rumors against Roque during this time are indeed not very friendly, it is estimated that everyone present now knows that the housekeeper next to Roque has no tongue, and no one will investigate the real reason, nobles, who can still have no secrets, let's speak with facts.

Anyway, these princes and nobles in India will not use this way to keep secrets, let alone the British.

"Your Gurkha troops are now up for the task? I heard that you exterminated a village the other day. "Count Minto doesn't care about those rumors either, for Count Minto, Roque is the sharpest spear, so the more ruthless Roque is, the better.

"That village harbored a group of criminals, and when the troops were arrested, the criminals resisted stubbornly, and maybe the troops did have some accidental injuries in the process of carrying out their tasks, but they have not yet reached the level of eradication." Luo Ke was also speechless, the word "extermination" was used, and the newly formed First Cavalry Division was said to be the same as a devil entering the village.

"That's not a mistake, it's inevitable that this kind of thing will happen." Count Minto was injured by mistake or not, perhaps in Count Minto's opinion, 250 million Indians died in three or five villages is not worth mentioning at all: "What is your evaluation of the Gurkha troops?" ”

The Earl of Minto was still concerned about the Gurkha mercenaries, and after the Boer War, the British government's approach to military management also underwent a fundamental change.
