234 Heaven
Henry's investigation has not yet yielded results, but the results of London's handling have come out.
On December 10, London issued a notice of appointment directly to the Johannesburg City Council, removing the Rock Police Commissioner from his post and leaving Harry Spencer as the Johannesburg Police Commissioner on the other hand.
Harry Spencer immediately approached Roque to express his attitude: "Director, I don't know why this is happening, but I will not accept this appointment, I am very comfortable in the position of deputy director, and there is nothing dissatisfied." ”
With this result, many people will probably think that Harry Spencer created this storm.
In fact, this is useless, the current situation of the Johannesburg Police Department, as long as Roque does not agree, no one can stay in the position of police chief, the Johannesburg Police Department was formed by Roque, and the entire police department is Roque's henchmen, without Roque's consent, even Philip cannot have much influence on the police department.
If you look at it this way, the Daily Mirror is not wrong to accuse Johannesburg of the existence of a powerful and evil dark force.
"It's okay Harry, you just think I'm on vacation, and to be honest, after all this time, it's time for me to take a break." Roque is not in a hurry, this appointment in London is not legitimate, under normal circumstances, London will not interfere in the personnel appointment of the Transvaal at all, and now London has crossed the Governor's House and directly interfered in the personnel appointment in Johannesburg, which is a great offense to Ade, and it is not known which madman made this decision, the collective resignation of the Natal government some time ago, isn't the lesson deep enough?
The problem is that there are a lot of self-righteous bastards in the current British government, who don't know anything about the overseas territories, who sit in their offices and dictate to the overseas territories, grossly interfere in the internal affairs of the overseas territories, and sometimes even give orders that are diametrically opposed, which makes all the overseas territories hate.
The autonomy of Canada and Australia has a lot to do with the self-righteous officials.
Roque wants to take a break is not perfunctory, since Roque came to this world, Roque has been desperately climbing up every day, busy fighting for the interests of the Chinese every day, busy fighting with all kinds of bulls, snakes, ghosts and gods, Roque also really wants to take a break, as long as the interests of the Transvaal Chinese can be guaranteed, Roque can even give up the new 1st Cavalry Division.
That way, Roch would be able to return to Nyasaland and devote himself to building his base camp.
"Chief, I'm not polite, the current Johannesburg Police Department, apart from you, I really don't know who can convince everyone." Harry Spencer is very worried, he is an officer who has parachuted into the Johannesburg Police Department, there is no foundation here, the inspectors and sergeants under the police station are all pulled up by Roque, if Roque leaves it alone, then the police department will be paralyzed now.
This is not an exaggeration, the work of the police is very special, this profession requires great dedication and enthusiasm, if Harry Spencer, the director, is not right, then the following police officers have ways to make Harry Spencer trouble, such as deliberately being a few minutes late when the police are dispatched, and such as not working hard when solving cases, or even turning a blind eye to the things in charge when patrolling, in short, without Roque's consent, Harry Spencer can't even stay in the Johannesburg Police Department.
The head snake, no joke.
"Don't worry, the sun will rise tomorrow." Roque didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, the more similar appointments in London, the better, and it was not known how Ade would fight back, and it would be nice if the officials in the Transvaal followed the example of Natal and resigned en masse.
Coming back, Roque went to Philip to hear Philip's opinion on the matter.
"It is impossible to resign, the Transvaal is different from Natal, Natal officials can use resignation to blackmail London, it is not appropriate for the Transvaal to do this, after all, many officials in the Transvaal have knighthoods." Although Philip's consciousness is high, the expression on his face is also very ugly.
As a nobleman of the British Empire, he must be consistent with the British Empire at all times, so don't think about resigning en masse, but this does not mean that the officials of the Transvaal have no choice but to accept London's rude interference.
"It's okay if you're not the chief of police, you are now the commander of the newly formed First Cavalry Division, and you are also the chief of police, and you have a little too much power in your hands, you have to keep a low profile at this time, should you give Harry Spencer support or give, wait first, and see what Pretoria has to say." Philip can see that this incident has a greater impact on Ade than on Roque, and now it depends on how Ade fights back.
"Of course, I will definitely support Harry Spencer's work, and in a few days I want to go to Nyasaland with Phyllis, just in time to take a break." Roque also thought about it, and if he had the ability, London took Roque's fief away.
Don't be funny, Roque's fief was given by the king, and if the British government dares to take back Roque's fief, it is estimated that all the nobles in Britain will rebel.
"Go to Nyasaland – it's fine." Philip smiled, knowing it.
Returning to the station of the new 1st Cavalry Division, Roque also had to pacify the officers and soldiers of the new 1st Cavalry Division.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division also knew about London's appointment to Roque, and unlike the city police department, the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division were filled with righteous indignation, and Geng Biao even clamored to return to Nyasaland and break with the British government.
"Don't say that in the future, I know you're not satisfied with your company, but you have to pay for the division headquarters' arrangement, you don't want to take H Company, do other people want to? The problem is that someone has to do the work, regardless of whether London's appointment is fair or not, unfairness is a part of life, and then you still have to train hard, and strive to make the combat effectiveness of the troops to a higher level, take 10,000 steps back and say, at least you can't let London catch the handle, don't make trouble for me. Luo Ke spoke out sharply and strictly criticized Geng Biao's irresponsible behavior.
Geng Biao hung his head, but still didn't dare to disobey Roque's order.
Li Fei and the others are much calmer, as long as Luo Ke is not affected too much, Li Fei and they really don't care about the position of police chief.
"Sir, is it over there in London-" Suo Chao was also a little worried, this appointment in London has an impact on all the Chinese in the Transvaal, and Roque is the backbone of the Transvaal Chinese, if Roque has a problem here, then the fate of the Transvaal Chinese is really hard to say.
"Don't worry, as long as the new 1st Cavalry Division is still in our hands, nothing will change." Roque still has confidence, there are some things that really can't be changed with just one appointment.
On December 15, Roque and Phyllis took a train to Nyasaland.
On the same day, Rudolf Diesel completed the modification of the truck.
After the improvement of the truck, the opinions of the officers and men of Roque and the new 1st Cavalry Division were fully considered, and all the steel plates on the body were removed and replaced with iron-clad wood.
These woods are also strong and easy to replace, and the key is to reduce weight and further reduce costs.
At the same time, in order to increase the load capacity, the rear wheels of the truck increased from two to four, the bottom of the car used shock absorbing steel plates, the steel plates on the cab and engine compartment were also replaced with iron sheets, and the improved truck, the load capacity was increased to two tons, and the road speed was 45 kilometers per hour under full load, which basically met the requirements of Roque.
For Roque, the performance of the truck is definitely as powerful as possible.
But it's 1903, so the requirements for trucks can't be too high, the key is to build trucks first, which is already ahead of all other vehicle manufacturers, with the advancement of technology, the performance of trucks will definitely continue to improve, and then the advantages of Nyasaland trucks will be bigger and bigger.
Originally, according to Roque's plan, when the trucks were successfully developed, the new First Cavalry Division would be ordered in batches, so that the new First Cavalry Division would become the world's first motorized unit.
Now there is no need to worry, since Roque has returned to Nyasaland, it is better to equip the Northern Rhodesia Division first, and the new 1st Cavalry Division will be discussed later.
As the train passed through Salisbury, Smalls boarded the train and traveled with Roque to Nyasaland.
"Hehe, how does it feel to be driven back to Nyasaland?" Xiao Si looked teased when he saw Roque.
"It feels good, I finally have time to rest, I decided to hurry up and have a baby with Phyllis, my title must be inherited." Roque easily counterattacked, and the title was Xiao Si's biggest weakness.
Xiao Si's face was really ugly, as long as Roque mentioned the title, Xiao Si was powerless to fight back.
"Come on, don't talk about a baron, now it's just to give you an earl, call your Rhodesia, do you change it or not?" Roque asked Xiao Si to choose for himself.
"Give me a duke, I won't change it!" Xiao Si is very decisive at this time.
Roque smiled, isn't this over, it doesn't matter if there is a title or not, the key is interests, Rhodesia is now similar to Xiao Si's private property, Xiao Si envies other people's titles, and I don't know how many nominal nobles in Britain still envy Xiao Si.
Of course, Roque will not envy Xiaosi, Nyasaland is not worse than Rhodesia, Roque has now built the railway between Port Edward and Little Rock, which means that now Port Edward and Johannesburg have been connected, Roque does not need to envy anyone now, does not need too much, give Roque three or five years, Roque can build Nyasaland into a paradise on earth.
In fact, Nyasaland is already very good now, and the standard of heaven in the world is still very low, as long as there is no war and everyone lives and works in peace, it is heaven.
