In fact, there is really no money to be made by waging war against the Nepalese government.

If Roque really waged war against the Nepalese government, it was not for money, but for the sake of Nepal's Gurkha mercenaries.

Nominally, Nepal was still the Kingdom of Nepal, but in 1814, war broke out between Britain and Nepal, and Nepal was forced to cede large territories to British India, accept British supervision, and become a British protectorate.

In 1846, the pro-British General Chung Ge **** Rana staged a coup d'état, and the king of Nepal fell into power, and the Rana family became the hereditary prime minister, effectively holding the power of Nepal.

At the beginning, the British government wasted a lot of effort for the government of Nepal, but it didn't matter to Roque, Roque now has Gurkha mercenaries in his hands, and Roque's troops are more advanced, and defeating Nepal is not a problem, Roque has not worried about this problem at all.

If Roque subdues the Nepalese government, then Roque can emigrate from Nepal with impunity, thus obtaining a steady stream of labor and loyal and brave mercenaries.

Don't think that only mercenaries in Nepal can do it, that's because the Gurkha people in Nepal can only go as mercenaries and have no other way out.

With the character of the Gurkhas, if you go to a farm or a factory, can't you become a good worker?

It's definitely possible, but in Nepal, they don't have farms and factories to enter, and they don't have a way to make a difference, so they have to go to the army.

Roque believed that after the families of these Gurkha mercenaries went to Johannesburg, they would become the best hired workers on the farm, and they would also become the best workers in the factory, because they were obedient enough, and whoever gave them food would give them their lives, and there were already many Indians in southern Africa in addition to the Transvaal, so Roque didn't mind adding some more Gurkhas, compared to the Indians who couldn't get on the wall, Roque still preferred the Gurkhas.

Lord Belloc obviously did not have the courage of Roque, and was very worried about Roque's attitude.

"Locke, the current Prime Minister of Nepal has a good relationship with us, we don't need to make a big move, of course, I didn't say that you can't immigrate, but can you do it more covertly and don't let people seize the handle." Lord Belloc put it another way.

Roque immediately understood how easy it was to say this.

Ustam never appeared, and there was no similar incident in Nakra anyway, and Roque was able to fulfill his promise to Lord Belok, so Roke went to Kathmandu to meet General Rana, the de facto ruler of Nepal.

Kathmandu is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas, the Himalayas as a natural barrier, sheltering Kathmandu from the cold wind from the north, the south of the city is the warm current of the Indian Ocean, the unique geographical environment, so that the average annual temperature here is about 20 °C, the climate is pleasant, the sun is shining all year round, the green trees are lush, the flowers are blooming, it is a world-famous tourist attraction.

Well, the world civilization is a bit exaggerated, no one cares whether the environment in Kathmandu is good or not these days, there are many places with a good environment, and it is a serious thing to let the people have enough to eat.

Obviously, the residents of Kathmandu are not well fed, after entering Kathmandu, most of the residents Roque saw along the way were ragged and dish-faced, many of them were obviously malnourished, Roque's convoy appeared on the streets of Kathmandu, and immediately countless beggars came around, they didn't care if they would be hit by a car, hunger had made them forget all their fears.

Hilton Robert's way of opening the road was simple and straightforward, scattering candy on the side of the road to attract hungry people to rush over and grab it, and whipping the beggars in front of the car, and the convoy quickly broke out.

"These beggars deserve hell, they have nothing to do all day, they are literally city abscesses." Roque is a nobleman, and when he comes to Kathmandu, Hilton Robert will definitely accompany him all the way.

Roque didn't want to speak, even if these beggars wanted to do something, they had to have something to do, everyone wanted to live with dignity, no one wanted to beg from anyone, but this is the case in Kathmandu-

It is estimated that there are no beggars in Johannesburg in the world, and in Johannesburg, all beggars have to be sent to the mines to mine.

For those who don't want to work, the Johannesburg city government will not compromise, whether to work or not is not up to the beggars, it is mandatory, if you don't want to go to the mine, you will go to jail.

If you go to prison, you have to go to the mines, and you don't even get paid.

Very simple multiple-choice questions.

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

"How's the situation in Kathmandu?" Roque was still concerned about General Lana, not about the beggars of Kathmandu.

It's not that Roque is unloving, he really can't care about it, there are many beggars in the world, if Roque cares when he sees a beggar, then even if he takes out all his net worth, he can't solve the problem.

"It's always been like this, since the Rana family staged a coup d'état in the last century, the king has been placed under house arrest in the Hanuman Doka Palace, and the prime minister lives in the Narayanhiti Palace, and you will know later, Lord, that the Narayanhiti Palace is much more beautiful than the Hanuman Doka Palace." Hilton Robert is based in Kathmandu and is no longer strange to Kathmandu.

Located in the heart of Kathmandu, Narayanhiti Palace was the private residence of the Rana family, which was later given to the king and became the king's royal palace and later the national museum.

From the evolution of the Narayanhiti Palace, we can clearly see the transfer of power in Nepal, the current prime minister still lives in the Narayanhiti Palace, and it is here that Roque is located.

When I went to Nepal, I didn't go to visit the king, but I went to visit the prime minister, which is also a Nepalese characteristic.

General Rana still attaches great importance to Roque's visit, after all, throughout the year, there are not many British nobles who come to Nepal, and Roque is still a military nobleman, the kind with a military position, General Rana can protest to the British government about Roque's unscrupulous immigration, but when he saw Roque, General Lana showed great affection, as if the previous protest did not exist.

Sitting in the splendid main living room, Roque is quite unaccustomed, this living room is too luxuriously decorated, look at the past, the eyes are full of gold, Nepalis and Indians are very fond of gold, even if it is poor, they have to get a string of brass chains to hang around their necks filled with gold, people who don't know the details of the bottom still think that Nepal and India are full of gold, in fact, this is not the case at all.

The decoration in the palace of Narayanhiti must be genuine gold, as long as the gold can be used, all the gold decoration, the walls are eager to paste gold leaf, the light shines, the whole living room is a little frightening, even Hilton Robert's face is yellow.

That's right, Roque and General Lana meet, and Hilton Robert is also to be present, which is polite and at the same time a spy on Roque.

Roque didn't care at all, he came to General Lana, and the purpose was not to unite with the Nepalese government to subvert the British government, so there was nothing to avoid, and there was no one else in the living room except Hilton Robert and General Lana's personal secretary, so Roque went straight to the point.

"Thank you very much to the Nepalese government for its cooperation in recruiting troops from Nepal for the new 1st Cavalry Division, and I have some personal gifts here as a gift to General Lana-" Roque did not go around in circles, this time he came to General Rana just to give gifts, and he had something to say in person.

"Thank you very much, Lord Nyasaland, for the close relationship between the Government of Nepal and London, and it is an honour for us to serve the British Empire." General Lana is indeed pro-British, and General Lana does not dare to slack off on Roque, a genuine British nobleman.

Roque's gift to General Lana was not gold, but Lee Enfield, Luger pistols, and general-purpose machine guns produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal.

What worries the Rana family, who started the coup d'état?

Of course, other people also relied on a coup d'état to oust the Rana family, for a situation like the Rana family, losing power is equivalent to dying and annihilating, so this is a matter of life and death, to ensure power, you have to arm your army with more weapons, more advanced weapons, and Roque is what he likes.

General Rana is of course familiar with Lee Enfield, and when Roque came to Narayanhiti Palace, he found that the guards were equipped with Lee Enfield.

However, the Nepalese army should not be generally equipped with Lee Enfield, and the British government's control over Lee Enfield is still relatively strict, if it were not for the Boer War, then the southern African army would not have had the opportunity to equip Lee Enfield.

For the Ruger and the universal machine gun, General Lana is relatively unfamiliar.

Although Ruger has appeared, it has not yet attracted people's attention, and the general-purpose machine gun has not appeared in front of the world at all, and only the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesia Division are equipped, so General Rana immediately became interested in the general-purpose machine gun.

"The biggest advantage of the general-purpose machine gun is that most of the parts of the light machine gun and the heavy machine gun can be interchanged, in fact, the structure is the same, the use of bipod is a light machine gun, the use of a tripod is a heavy machine gun, which will greatly reduce the pressure on logistics, easy to use the equipment of the troops, the new first cavalry division has been equipped with a general-purpose machine gun, in the process of counterinsurgency in Natal, the general-purpose machine gun has a good performance, we are recommending to the Ministry of War, I hope that the British army can use this world's most advanced machine gun." In other words, even the British troops have not yet had time to equip themselves with general-purpose machine guns.

Of course, Roque gave General Lana a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun, and if General Lana wanted more, he would have to place an order with the Nyasaland Arsenal.

Looks like a chicken thief, doesn't it?

Don't say that, everyone else just places an order, and Roque doesn't sell it yet.
