339 The Way of His Majesty

Visacam still came to negotiate business with Roque, this time not only to buy agricultural products from Johannesburg, but also to hire a team of soldiers from the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division to live in Visacam's house to protect the safety of Visacam himself and his family, so Roque inadvertently helped the umbrella company to expand its business to India.

In fact, there is a comparison between the troops stationed in India, and the performance of the new 1st Cavalry Division is indeed too good, although Visacam has a strong need for security, but it is impossible for Roque to let the new 1st Cavalry Division accept this kind of employment from Visacam.

Roque also learned now that this kind of employment is actually very common in India, although it seems a bit ridiculous, but as long as you pay a fee, it is true that some soldiers can be hired to live in their own homes through some special channels, and for those officers, where the troops are stationed does not seem to be a very serious problem.

The reason why Visacam is reluctant to find other people is also because of the huge hidden dangers in this way, after all, there are not many people who let strangers live in their homes without knowing the roots, and the quality of Indian soldiers also needs to be improved.

This is not to say that there is no such thing, Uslam is strictly speaking Lakshmi's subordinates, and after encountering injustice, he suddenly revolts and eats the master.

For the umbrella company, the Indian business is an overseas business, the staff work in India, and the umbrella company has to pay overseas allowances, so the cost of this kind of work is very high, and if Visacam hires a detachment of ten security personnel, the annual cost may exceed 3,000 pounds.

The price is indeed a bit high, but Visacam gritted his teeth and agreed, it was really Lakshmi's fate that was too shocking, the people were gone, what was the use of staying with more money, and in the end it could only be cheap to the Indian government, or some unknown distant relative.

All of Lakshmi's immediate family members have been killed, so now Lakshmi's position as vice king has lost its heir, and the Indian government has chosen an heir from Lakshmi's distant relatives to inherit Lakshmi's title, although this will incur a lot of expenses, but the trust vice king will definitely not care about this, for the trust vice king, his title has fallen from the sky, there is really nothing to dislike.

Visacam is very worried that he will be like Lakshmi in the future, so the 3,000 pounds a year is not unjust, as long as the territory is there, the money can always be earned.

The post of vice-king is estimated to exist only in India, just as the post of "commissioner for South Africa" is to southern Africa.

There are too many British colonies, there are four colonies in southern Africa, each colony has a South African official in addition to a governor, and the four colonies have a South African official, this position was Ade's before, and now this position is held by the Earl of Selborn, so the Earl of Selborn has the ability to promote the autonomy of southern Africa.

The vice-king is actually these native kings of India, and the nominal king of India is, of course, the king of England, and then these native kings of India become vice-kings, and they work with the British king to manage India, which is quite a bit of "sharing the world with the scholars".

Although £3,000 is not a lot for Roque, Roque still values this business of the umbrella company.

Although a 3,000 pound is not much, but a lot of 3,000 pounds adds up to a considerable amount, India's 550 princely states, there are not too many security needs, even if only one-tenth of the earth kings need security services, the total amount of business can make Roque wake up with a smile in his dreams.

The key is that India is very close to Nepal, don't look at the current relationship between Chandra and Roque is very good, the Nepalese government is very cooperative with the new First Cavalry Division, it is difficult to say what the future will be, if Roque wants to get a steady stream of troops from Nepal, he still has to set up a direct agent in India, just like Hilton Robert.

Based in Kathmandu, Hilton Robert is responsible not only for the recruitment of Gurkha mercenaries, but also for maintaining relations between the British and Nepalese governments.

And in the umbrella company to open up business in India, there will be a benefit that will not be seen for a while.

In fact, the British government's attitude towards the colonies has always been cautious, and Roque, a Baron of Nyasaland, has not been able to raise a force in Nyasaland until now, so he can only build the army in the name of a South African company, and also named the "Northern Rhodesia Division", just to avoid the British government's clamp.

The umbrella company is another force in the hands of Roque, on the surface, the umbrella company is a commercial company, in fact, the umbrella is a complete military organization, now the umbrella company has more than 4000 employees, the number of people is almost comparable to the northern division of Rhodesia, and the new first cavalry division, peacetime does not affect the umbrella company to make money, once a war breaks out, just an umbrella company, can form a force at any time.

The organizational structure of the umbrella company is also similar to that of the regular army, the general manager is equivalent to the chief of staff, the department manager below, of course, is the battalion and company commander, and the various team leaders and squad leaders below are the grassroots officers of the army.

Compared with the Chinese security guards in Johannesburg, the Gurkha mercenaries are actually the best source of soldiers for the umbrella company.

The British government hired Gurkha mercenaries and never had the idea of mercenary families, and the reason why Roque wanted the mercenaries' families to emigrate, on the one hand, was to enhance the strength of Johannesburg, and on the other hand, to better control these Gurkha mercenaries and ensure their loyalty, as long as their families were in Johannesburg, Roque was not worried that the mercenaries would betray for money.

The current mercenaries are still different from those professional mercenaries in the future, and those professional mercenaries in the future are a group of war hyenas, they are willing to do anything for money, and loyalty is completely non-existent.

The current mercenaries can still be guaranteed in terms of loyalty, after all, the Gurkha mercenaries are all concentrated and completely militarized, and even if some people want to win over and corrupt, it is estimated that they will not find many opportunities.

If the umbrella company expands its business to India, it will be very convenient to hire the best Gurkha through India, and even if the new 1st Cavalry Division wants to expand its troops in the future, it will not need to go through Hilton Robert, and it will be more convenient to complete it through the umbrella.

In order to ensure the smooth development of the Umbrella Company's business, Roque still chose to put the Indian branch of the Umbrella Company in Kolkata, after all, Kolkata has the largest number of wealthy people in India, and they have the most urgent need for security.

Since it is working with an umbrella company, a formal commercial contract is required.

There are lawyers in India, too, and Gandhi was a less successful lawyer before he left for southern Africa.

Drafting this kind of commercial contract is trivial for a lawyer, and Roque still found the most famous lawyer in Dhaka to draw up a commercial contract with Visacam.

The crux of the matter now is that there is no head of the umbrella company on the Indian side, and Roque cannot come forward to sign the contract with Visacam in person, so Roque called Zach over to sign the contract on behalf of the umbrella company.

Zach has been with Roque for five or six years now, and after so many years of experience, his temperament is becoming more and more calm, and he is gradually thinking about the development of a professional housekeeper like Charles de Gaulle, and it is still very suitable to sign on behalf of the umbrella company.

When Visacam saw Zack, he still habitually wanted to get close to Zack, shaking hands and greeting each other.

Zach doesn't talk nonsense, he doesn't have to talk nonsense, his tongue was cut out when he was in Robben Island prison, so Zach rarely even laughs, and he is always meticulous and expressionless.

Visacam was very depressed, feeling that Zach was not easy to deal with, but he was still not discouraged.

"It turns out that Mr. Zach is Lord Nyasaland's butler, Lord Nyasaland is really promising, he is in a high position at a young age, Mr. Zach, as Lord Nyasaland's butler, must be very busy with work, I am very interested in Lord Nyasaland's domain, if I have the opportunity, I must go to Nyasaland once, and see for myself how prosperous Lord Nyasaland's domain is, I believe that it must be a city comparable to Kolkata-" Visakham does not know Nyasaland at all, How big is a 400,000 square kilometer city?

I guess I can stuff everyone in the world into it.

Zach didn't speak, and the posture of sitting down to sign was very standard, and he used a limited edition gold pen produced by Itno when he signed, and the font of his signature was still beautiful in floral font, which was much better than Visacam's font.

"Mr. Zack's English calligraphy is so beautiful, few people can sign so beautifully, Mr. Zach, you must have received a higher education, I don't know what school Mr. Zuck graduated from? I studied at University College London 10 years ago, although it was only two short years, but those two years left me with a lot of good memories, London is the greatest city in the world, with the best scenery in the world, and the most complete urban facilities, as a British, it is really a kind of luck to be able to live in a city like London - "Visacam is a blind toution, the scenery of London is the same as the city facilities, it is very difficult to describe."

Probably Zach also felt that Visacam's words were a little funny, so he inadvertently laughed when he shook Visacam's hand after signing.

Only then did Visacam realize that Zach didn't have a tongue.

So he immediately became in awe of Lord Nyasaland's royal ways.
