Roque, along with Henry and Xiao Si, has gone beyond the secular concept of occupation, and each of them has many identities, and these identities are blessed together, which is the real reason for the great influence on southern Africa.

There are also many such monsters in France that combine government and business, and Xia Fei doesn't know the situation in southern Africa, but he knows France very well.

"Minister Locke, we should share all resources." Xia Fei was not satisfied with Roque's attitude, and it wasn't just because of the money.

"I'm really curious, it's been more than two months since the world war broke out, hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers are struggling on the brink of death, there used to be insufficient medical resources, now there are enough doctors, but there are not enough operating rooms, there are not enough wards, the French government has no money? If you get back an experienced soldier for a small amount of money, I think it's worth it. Roque really didn't look down on the efficiency of the French government, so he almost didn't directly blame it.

"France is a democracy, the private property of citizens is sacrosanct, the land around Paris is expensive, the government is in financial difficulties, and even if the government pays for it, no one is necessarily willing to sell it." Xia Fei was also very helpless, he also wanted to save the lives of more experienced soldiers, but the objective reality did not allow it.

Relatively speaking, the situation in southern Africa is the same as in France, but the better thing about southern Africa is that the federal government has more influence on the people, and there is not much vacant land to be developed around Pretoria and Johannesburg.

For example, if the Pretoria municipal government wants to build a hospital, it needs to requisition the land under the name of Xiao Si, then Pretoria can cooperate with Xiao Si, Xiao Si pays for the construction of the hospital, and the Pretoria city government sends managers and doctors to work in the hospital, and the profits are distributed by agreement between the two parties, and the ownership and management rights are controlled in the hands of the Pretoria city government, which can not only ensure the interests of the city government, but also ensure the interests of Xiao Si.

"With all due respect, marshal, these are excuses, a strong government will not be disturbed by any factors, how can there be eggs under the nest, and if Paris falls, will the Germans guarantee the sanctity of the private property of the Parisians?" Roque was outspoken, and he was selfish when disaster came, which was a harbinger of the death of the country.

"We can't be the same as the Germans after all." Xia Fei also knows the problems of the French government, but the reality in France is like this, if you want to offend the interests of the elite, then you don't need the Germans to call, the French will directly overthrow the current government.

This is the dead knot of democracy and freedom, and there is no solution!

"So, you pay for it, and I'll coordinate it." Luo Ke gave a solution, and whether he can accept it depends on Xia Fei's determination.

Xia Fei didn't agree right away, and the expression on his face was very tangled.

Roque was not in a hurry, his eyes fell on a pen holder on Xia Fei's desk, the familiar azure color was unforgettable, next to a delicately crafted globe, next to a miniature version of the French flag, and a typewriter.

The dignified commander-in-chief of the French army still typed by himself?

It's amazing.

"After the field hospital is completed, it will be your French property, and it will also save the lives of your French soldiers, so what is there to hesitate about?" Roque doesn't have much time to waste here in Xiafei, in fact, even if the French government doesn't pay for it, Roque has a way, and some people are willing to pay for it.

Medical resources are scarce in any era, and there are only a few hospitals in Paris that are not well equipped, and the medical level is not high enough, and the doctors of higher levels are in private clinics, and private clinics are the high-end medical resources of European countries.

These private clinics are not accessible to the poor.

If Roque goes to Renard Cape now and tells Renard Cape that he wants to build a hospital in Paris, then there is no need to find anyone else, Renard Caet can do everything by himself, and there is no need to emphasize how profitable the hospital is.

"Minister Locke, we don't have a budget now-" Xia Fei can't help it, he also knows that it is necessary to build a hospital, but without a budget, nothing can be done.

Roque stopped talking nonsense with Xia Fei, and called Renard Capet when he returned to the headquarters, and soon Renard Cape appeared in front of Roque.

"Lord Nyasaland, welcome to France—" Reynard Capet's expression was exaggerated, and he gave Roque a big hug when he came up, and people didn't care if Roque gave Ida a name or not.

"Renard, you're going to lose weight, and good health is the foundation of everything." Roque was really worried about Renard's health, it looked like Renard was only about 1.6 meters, but he definitely weighed more than 100 kilograms.

Renard Capeze laughed, he had imagined the scene of meeting with Roque countless times, but he didn't expect that the first sentence after meeting Roque was so direct.

However, such a direct Roque obviously made Renard Capet more relaxed, and unlike Xia Fei, Renard Cape was well aware of Roque's position in Southern Africa, and the business in Southern Africa was important to the Capet family.

After the French Revolution, the title of the Capetian family was revoked, and even the ancestral castle was forced to be sold, so Ida married in southern Africa.

Now with the business in southern Africa, the Capet family has re-emerged and become one of the most famous big families in France, so Renard Capet will unconditionally cooperate with any request from Roque, Renard Capet has a good relationship with French dignitaries, when Roque first arrived in Paris, Renard Capet also attended Roque's welcome dinner, but Renard Capet did not get the opportunity to communicate with Roque.

"I'm going to build a hospital in Paris to treat wounded soldiers—" Roque said succinctly.

"What do you need me to do?" Renard Capet didn't ask how much money was needed, didn't ask about Roque's purpose, or even asked what difficulties there were, and met all Roque's requests.

"It will take about 500,000 pounds to find a suitable piece of land and build a hospital—" Roque demanded a high amount, 500,000 is not a small amount, a pound can be exchanged for 25 francs, and 500,000 pounds is 12.5 million francs, and the top hotel in Paris, with 800 rooms and 65 multi-purpose halls, costs only 21 million francs.

"Sir, this is your first investment in France, how can you do 500,000 yuan, at least 1 million is in line with your status." Renard Capet doubled directly, this money doesn't need to be asked, it must be Renard Capet himself.

If there is no accident, after the hospital is built, it is estimated that the hospital will still be under the name of Roque.

Looking at other people's big spending, Xia Fei should really feel ashamed.

"When the hospital is built, it will be called Locke Hospital, and everyone who is treated in the hospital will be full of gratitude to you, and your kindness and brilliance will always shine on the banks of the Seine—" Renard Capet's sycophants were so rambling that Roque was embarrassed, and Roque was God.

"Then go straight to it, if it's a million, then build a few more." Roque was satisfied with Renard Capet's attitude, so he didn't care about a few more words.

"Where is it built?" Renard Capet is fully cooperative, and Roque is what he says.

"Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon, Nantes, you name it, education and health care are not necessarily the most profitable, but they must be the noblest." Roque doesn't care how much money he makes now, not to mention that education and medical care are also very profitable.

"That's just great, I told Ida a long time ago to replicate education and health care in southern Africa in France, but unfortunately there are not enough resources." Renard Capet is also a family lineage, not the kind of mercenary nouveau riche, and honor is very important to an old family like the Capet.

Everyone knows the importance of education and medical care, but not everyone can do it, when Roque sent people to search Europe for experts and professors who were willing to immigrate to southern Africa for the education of the Transvaal, in order to develop medical care in southern Africa, Roque founded the Johannesburg Medical School a long time ago, these are two industries that require great patience and continuous investment to see the returns.

"Then try to do it, I'm going to Flanders in a few days, and the hospital will be handed over to you." Roque still delegated power, but there must be necessary supervision, after all, the hospital is for the expeditionary force, and Roque has always been strict about the quality of the project.

Renard Capet was still very efficient, and that night, Renard Capet found a suitable place on the outskirts of Paris, on the edge of the forest on the Seine, very close to the Arc de Triomphe, and it was not known how much Renard Capet had spent.

No matter how much money it spent, it was worth it, and the land that Renard Capet had found was about one hundred and twenty acres, more than enough to build a hospital, and the land around Paris was now worth a lot, and it would only get more expensive in the future.

While Roque was working to perfect his logistics, the battle in Flanders was underway, and the British Expeditionary Force was fighting alongside the newly formed French Ninth Army, commanded by Ferdinand Foch, who had shone in the wake of the outbreak of the World War.

The British Expeditionary Force could be covered by the British Navy in Flanders, and the Navy's gunboats drove directly into the rivers of Flanders to provide close fire support to the British Expeditionary Force.

During one of the battles at Witzhardt, a German captain named Hoffmann was wounded, and one of his soldiers dragged Captain Hoffmann to safety, but was unable to save Hoffmann's life.

The soldier was awarded an Iron Cross of the Order of the Second Class by German Emperor Wilhelm II a few days later, and his name was Adolf Hitler.
