It is the Chinese tradition to be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner, which is not the case in the UK, people in the British do not like to be low-key and introverted, what class should enjoy what class of life, you are a high-ranking aristocrat, if you live the same life as Grande, you will be ridiculed.

Patton is not an aristocrat, but as a naval officer with a strong background, it is also necessary to create a character that people can't mess with, which may make really cultivated people despise, but there are very few truly cultivated people in this world after all, more are ordinary people, and there is no personal cultivation in the eyes of ordinary people, only they can't be provoked or can be bullied casually.

Barton didn't want to be bullied, even if it looked like he could.

After school, Barton called the head of the Nyasaland company in England, and the person in charge quickly sent the car by cargo ship, and it was the Lord car, and he sent two directly, which made Barton worried.

The person in charge was well-intentioned, but the Lord's car was too expensive, and the director of the Royal Naval College could not afford the Lord's car, and Patton would be too ostentatious if he drove the Lord's car to the school.

There should also be a limit to being high-profile, no more, no less, a little higher than ordinary people, too high is easy to flash your waist.

So the Lord car was replaced by the more ordinary Diesel, a civilian sedan produced by the Nyasaland Automobile Group, although nominally a "civilian", but the price was not cheap, a car cost 150 pounds, much more expensive than the American Ford.

The good thing is that Ford has not yet made a major foray into Europe, and the Nyasaland Automotive Group's products are selling well in Europe.

But the Nyasaland Automotive Group has begun to pay attention to the threat of Ford Motors, and really wants to reduce costs, in fact, the Nyasaland Automotive Group also has a way, at least in terms of human resources, the cost of the Nyasaland Automotive Group is much lower than that of Ford Motors, and now the Nyasaland Automotive Group has begun to develop lower-priced cars, ready to deal with the possible competition of Ford Motors at any time.

Last year, Ford's total production of sedans reached 2 million, and the annual production exceeded 500,000 for the first time, and now Ford is still increasing its production line to try to reach 1 million units a year.

The Nyasaland Motor Group produces less than Ford, about 350,000 units.

Although there is a gap in the numbers, in fact, the difference in production capacity is not large, Ford now mainly produces the Model T, in order to further reduce costs, Ford even only produces black cars that use cheap Japanese fuel, which is the annual output of 500,000 units.

The Nyasaland Automotive Group has a richer product line, in addition to the cheap Diesel and the expensive Lord, but also to produce armored vehicles and tanks, during the world war, the Nyasaland Automotive Group produced a total of nearly 100,000 armored vehicles and tanks, and now this part of the production is gradually shifting to civilian vehicles, over time, the production of Nyasaland Automotive Group will have a leap forward.

At the beginning of February, Angel's wedding had not yet taken place, and the term of Viscount Gladstone as governor had expired, and the new governor was Horatio Kitchener, who served as Minister of War during the World War.

For southern Africa, Horatio Kitchener also has a special affection, during the Boer War, the British Expeditionary Force defeated the Boer coalition army under the command of Kitchener, and now Southern Africa was born.

Interestingly, the governor of southern Africa at that time was Ade, and Kitchener was the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, and now Kitchener is the governor-general, and Ade has become the prime minister of southern Africa, and they are still partners.

Kitchener's passenger ship arrived at Walvis Bay on February 3rd, and Angel's wedding took place on February 5th, when Kitchener was supposed to take the train to Pretoria to attend the Governorship's handover ceremony, and Roque had time to go to Pretoria to meet Kitchener after attending Angel's wedding.

However, Kitchener did not play according to common sense, and flew directly from Walvis Bay to Los Angeles, which led to Kitchener also arriving on February 5th, so Roque will be very busy on February 5th, attending Angel's wedding in the morning and going to the airport to greet Kitchener in the afternoon.

As Prime Minister, Ade was unable to leave Pretoria, and Philip flew to Los Angeles on behalf of the Federal Government of Southern Africa to prepare for Kitchener.

"Our governor has a really weird personality, and I don't know how you can endure it." Philip didn't like Kitchiner, who was notoriously eccentric.

During the Boer War, Kitchener often suddenly decided to inspect a certain place, and then Kitchener would take the guards and take the train to go there without notifying anyone in advance.

This time Kitchener attacked again suddenly, and he did not go to Cape Town, nor to Pretoria, nor to Bloemfontein, but came directly to Los Angeles, which not only fully proves the importance that Kitchener attaches to Roque and Nyasaland, but also proves that Kitchener is still the stubborn Kitchener, and has not changed because he commanded the British Army to win the world war.

"I feel okay, compared to those who are vegetarian in the corpse, Marshal Kitchina's personality can be ignored." Roarke did not think that this was a major shortcoming, and that it was much better for the British government to have Kitchina succeed Viscount Gladstone as Governor of Southern Africa than anyone else as Governor-General.

At least Kitchener is familiar with a number of senior southern African officials such as Ade and Roque, which is more conducive to communication between the British mainland and the federal government of southern Africa.

After the end of the World War, the relationship between Southern Africa and the British mainland entered a new period, not only Southern Africa had to adapt, but also the British government had to adapt.

Southern Africa is now arguably the most important part of the British Empire for Britain itself, and even India's human resources are no longer so important compared to Southern Africa.

"Lord, it's time—" Feige knocked on the door, reminding Roque and Philip to get to the wedding site early.

The wedding was held at Matilda Church in Los Angeles, and the Protestant Archbishop of Southern Africa, Paul Morgan, personally officiated at the wedding of Angel and Qiao Jingyan, the wedding ceremony was not completely carried out according to the Protestant process, and there was no such thing as an officiating wedding witness, and the bride and groom were the absolute protagonists of the wedding.

Because of the fact that Kitchin is still welcome today, the father of the groom and the bride is very busy, so the wedding process has been simplified to the extreme, and because Roque and Philip are present, the atmosphere of the wedding is also a bit solemn, several of Qiao Jingyan's colleagues also attended the wedding, but they were all trembling in the corner of the viewing hall and did not dare to make a sound, Roque's identity will definitely not do anything such as whistling to enliven the atmosphere, and the wedding will be carried out according to normal procedures,

The whole wedding took only 45 minutes, and after the wedding, Roque and Philip and other high-ranking officials did not even have time to attend the wedding reception, so they went directly to the airport to greet Kitchener.

Los Angeles Airport is located not far from Matilda Church, which was converted from the same flying club where Angel used to learn to fly, and now the airport is of course a large airport, with a new terminal building and a spacious runway for large aircraft to take off and land.

Small planes are different from large planes, military fighters can take off and land on a flat grass field, large planes need well-equipped airports, civil aircraft and bombers especially emphasize comfort, flat and wide runways are essential.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Kitchener's plane landed on time at Los Angeles Airport.

Roque still prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Kitchener at the airport, the red carpet honor guard salute was readily available, and when Kitchener walked down the gangway, Philip stood at the front of the welcome procession, behind Philip was Roque, and behind Roque was Anton.

Surprisingly, Kitchener's expression was not relaxed, even a little serious, which is unusual, generally speaking, even if Kitchener does not like Nyasaland, at this time it is necessary to pretend to like it.

Kitchina is a man who is not good at disguise.

It doesn't matter if you are unhappy, the Federal Government of Southern Africa has passed the point where it is ready to curry favor with London, and even if Kitchener does not like southern Africa, it will not change the current situation of London and southern Africa.

"Marshal Kitchina, welcome to Nyasaland—" Roque didn't say much as he shook hands with Kitchina.

"Locke, long time no see—" Kitchener said less, and Roark even saw pain in Kitchener's eyes.

Pain is a really rare emotion that occurs in Kitchin.

Because Kitchener's mood was not high, the ceremony of inspecting the guard of honor prepared by Roque did not come in handy, Kitchener and Roque got into the same car and sat in the car, Kitchener frowned and looked preoccupied.

Since Kitchener didn't say anything, then Roque didn't ask, the car drove out of the airport and into Sunset Boulevard, looking at Lake Niasa next to Sunset Boulevard, Kitchener finally spoke.

"I'm sad today, just as I was on the plane, the CIA arrested Chris—" Kitchener leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in pain, Chris was an officer who worked beside Kitchener, whom Roque also knew.

"Why?" Roque was surprised, and at the same time, his expression was instantly gloomy.

"Chris had an undesirable relationship with a German dancer during the World War, and the MIA believes that Chris leaked information about the expeditionary force to the dancer—" Kitchener spoke without realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Roque didn't speak, Kitchener didn't know, but Roark knew, another time and space, it seems that an officer next to Kitchener leaked Kitchener's whereabouts to a German dancer, which caused Kitchener to die on the way to Russia.

But Roque doesn't care about this, Roque cares about the fact that the Military Intelligence Agency dares to blatantly tear up the agreement with Brad's office, and there are still activities in southern Africa, which is too much!

ps: There was a power outage at home in the morning, and I thought it was a large-scale power outage, but it turned out that it was only my house that had a power outage in the afternoon - and then today is Sunday, and the electrician is off and can't go to work, so this chapter is still out of the mobile phone code -
