151 Wealthy

In fact, whether Scarlett is beautiful or not doesn't matter to Roque.

Roque's current level of appreciation has been infinitely raised by Ida, and Roque really can't look down on ordinary vulgar fans.

As far as the women that Roque has come into contact with now, Ida and Phyllis, Roque can still see it, and the others-

To be honest, most of the women that Roque has come into contact with in this era are not as good as Scarlett.

At least Scarlett doesn't have any odor on her body even if she doesn't use perfume, under normal circumstances, the body odor of white people is actually relatively heavy, even if Scarlett deliberately keeps a distance from Roque, at this distance, if Scarlett has a peculiar smell on her body, Roque should also find something.

Well, the bigger surprise is that in fact, if you don't consider hair and skin, Scarlett is still worthy of the name, Roque knows that there is an actress named Scarlett in Hollywood in the 21st century, and this Scarlett doesn't seem to be bad at all compared to that Scarlett.

Of course, although Scarlett can be considered a beauty by ordinary people's standards, Roque has no desire for Scarlett.

Rabbits don't eat the grass around their nests.

However, although the grass on the edge of the nest cannot be eaten, it is also a very pleasing thing to work with beautiful women, which is a surprise, when Roque chose Scarlett, he didn't expect Scarlett to be so beautiful.

Otherwise, it is estimated that Ada would not have left Scarlett to Roque.

"Tell Christian that there's no need to save me money." Roque is generous, Christian can build a gold mine camp for Roque without profit, but this is a government project, and Christian is not required to save money for the police department.

"The budget given by Mr. Christian already includes his profits." Scarlett's face was expressionless.

Well, Roque can finally understand why so many people like to undertake government projects, which is really rich in oil and water.

But then again, as a brilliant profiteer, doesn't Christian know some other unspoken rules?

Wait, just now Scarlett said "your account".

Well, Christian is indeed a qualified businessman!

Soon, Christian arrives to see Roque.

I'm still here to send money.

"—because the police station and the gold mine camp were to be built at the same time, so I got a bigger discount on the purchase of materials, which is the remainder of the discount." Christian respectfully handed over a cheque for £1,000.

It's only £1,000!

Roque actually felt that this money was nothing, it was really inflated.

"Christian, take the money and register a company and recruit a few prospectors." Roque didn't want to put his money in the bank, he had to spend it in order to make money with it.

"Inspector, you want to prospect?" Christian was pleasantly surprised.

"Or else?" Roque doesn't like Christian's attitude, understanding to execute, not understanding to execute.

"Okay, okay—" Christian immediately snapped up.

"Remember, put the company in your name." As long as Christian is obedient, Christian will definitely get a steady stream of benefits from Roque.

"Okay, okay - thank you Inspector, thank you, I'll do a good job." Only then did Christian react, almost foaming his nose.

In Roque's eyes, Christian is a more reliable guy who is quite easy to use.

In Christian's eyes, Roque is a trustworthy and trustworthy object, when Roque brought Christian out of Robben Island, and gave Christian a chance to start his career, Christian went from being an unattended prisoner to becoming the largest builder in the Transvaal, and it took less than a year.

And in this year, Christian witnessed Roque's rapid growth from a sergeant-level commando deputy captain to a senior inspector, and as the chief of the Johannesburg Police, this kind of promotion speed, it is not too much to say that it is a rocket, Roque is still very young, in a few years, what will Roque rise to?

Christian is not sure where Roque's limit is, so he can only follow Roque's steps so that he will not be abandoned by Roque.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious, Roque is now going to set up a company, but limited to his identity, Roque cannot serve as the company's legal person, so Roque wants to put the company under Christian's name, which is another opportunity for Christian, a chance to really become Roque's henchman.

The benefits must be reaped, and the work must be done in retrospect.

"On the night of the guerrilla attack, two guards were killed by the guerrillas for resisting, and the rest of the guards and staff all fled, and we did our best in the past two days, but we only found some of them, and now they are being interrogated separately, but it is estimated that it will take some time to get the results." Martin is in charge of interrogation, which can be regarded as Martin's "ancestral craft", and the entire Johannesburg Police Department has this ability.

"Tell Yaya to let him out of his men, I have a feeling that this guerrilla force must still be in Johannesburg, and they may be hiding on a farm somewhere." Roque synthesized the existing intelligence and made bold assumptions.

"Yes - to deal with the guerrillas, we need more military horses." Martin is also worried that the Johannesburg police station has war horses, but it is far from enough.

In the era when there were no cars, everything could not be done without military horses, and Roque had already applied to Henry, but there was no response.

"There will be, let's go for clues first." There is no hurry in this question, Roque asks Henry for horses, Henry must go to the Doge's Palace, and Alfred Milner must provide Roque with the necessary support if he wants to see the daring guerrilla force ambush.

Now the Cape actually has no shortage of horses, in order to deal with the Boers, the British government sent more than 350,000 military horses to the Cape, although including a large number of horses, there are still a lot of real war horses, Alfred Milner if he goes to Kitchener, it is not realistic to want a lot, there is still hope for one or two thousand, after all, after the war, those military horses are also a burden for the expeditionary force.

Yes, it is indeed a burden, although military horses are very valuable, and even excellent military horses are expensive, but after the war, it is more expensive to send military horses back to the British mainland from the Cape, and from an economic point of view, it is most cost-effective for the expeditionary force to sell those military horses on the spot.

Don't think that the British government can't do this kind of thing, as the most powerful country in the world, Britain is absolutely qualified to be capricious, just like the United States after the Gulf War, how did the U.S. government deal with those Humvee military vehicles and tanks after the Gulf War?

After the U.S. government dismantled the instruments and equipment on the tanks and armored vehicles, it discarded them all.

That's the real wealth.
