Little Rock now has a Museum of Mrs. Capet, you know that it was built by Ida, Christian is now going to donate a museum, of course Roque is also welcome, although the museum will not be open for free, but it is a great improvement to the cultural heritage of Xuanji City, Roque also has a plan to build large-scale cultural buildings in Little Rock, Xuanji City, and even Port Edward, museums, libraries, theaters, cinemas, adding this kind of cultural facilities, it is better than bars blooming everywhere.

It's really too traditional for the British to have bars, Ida used to run bars in Cape Town, and Nyasaland was inevitably affected in this regard, Table Mountain Bar and Oak Bar opened branches in Little Rock and Port Edward early, and others followed suit, Little Rock and Port Edward now have so-called "bar streets" and "food streets", Roque doesn't want to see Chinese people immersed in alcohol and food, or think more culturally.

This work is only done by Roque, and Anton's understanding of the function of the city is not deep enough, but fortunately, Ada and Christian can help a little, otherwise Roque will not be able to finish these things even if he has three heads and six arms.

Ida is also not at ease raising a baby in France, the situation in France is a bit chaotic during this time, and Germany is almost on the verge of war again, and Ida is inevitably affected in Paris.

The chaos in France stemmed from the first Moroccan crisis.

Morocco was France's traditional sphere of influence, and two years earlier, Britain and France had reached a sincere agreement that France would recognize British privileges in Egypt and Britain would recognize French rights in Morocco, and France would try to turn Morocco into a French protectorate, but Germany would be strongly opposed.

At the moment of 1906, there were few colonies left in the world, and Germany's national strength was developing rapidly, but there was no huge colony to match the national strength, so Kaiser Wilhelm II was very dissatisfied, and visited Morocco in March last year and clearly expressed his support for Moroccan independence, which caused strong dissatisfaction in France.

With the support of Britain, French Foreign Minister Théophile delcasse advocated the establishment of a protectorate in Morocco and urged the government to take a tough stance.

However, the Estates-General of France, fearing that this move would trigger another war between France and Germany, opposed Théofel delcasse and forced Théofel delcasse to step down.

After Delcasse stepped down, moderate French Prime Minister Maurice Ruvier became foreign minister, but Maurice Ruvier remained tough, and France and Germany moved their troops to the border in December, and a major war was on the verge of breaking out.

In January of this year, under the mediation of United States President Theodore Roosevelt, Germany and France agreed to convene the Algeciras Conference, with the participation of 13 countries, to resolve the Moroccan question peacefully.

All the countries participating in the conference, with the exception of Austria-Hungary, supported France one-sidedly, and Germany's isolation led Germany to pursue a more ambitious foreign policy, and the resistance to the outcome of the conference was very serious, which laid the foundation for the future second Moroccan crisis.

The current situation in Paris is full of rumors, there are rumors that France and Germany are preparing for war, but the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War a few years ago has brought a psychological shadow to many French people, and many people are worried that France will be defeated again, so there are indeed a lot of people who fled France during this time.

Roque actually did not like these deserters, in Roque's view, anyone who faced the threat of war in the country and took the initiative to flee their country was actually not worthy of sympathy, but now in this situation, Roque is happy to see it, several lecturers from the University of Paris accepted the short-term invitation of the University of Nyasaland to the University of Nyasaland for academic exchanges.

Academic exchange is a new way for Nyasaland to attract talents, between European countries, academic exchanges are actually very normal, talent exchanges between various countries are very frequent, it is normal for British people to work in France, many French people will choose to go to Germany in order to live, then there is no problem to go from Europe to Nyasaland, after all, Nyasaland bears all the costs, and will pay the corresponding remuneration, so Nyasaland now often holds various academic exchanges.

And those European experts and professors will be shocked by the speed of development in Nyasaland once they arrive in Nyasaland, even if one out of ten people wants to stay, it will be earned for Nyasaland.

It was under these circumstances that Alan Milton came to Nyasaland.

Alan Milton is a lecturer at the University of Paris, because of the regulations of the University of Paris, Alan Milton has been nearly half a hundred years old, and he is still an ordinary lecturer, and his promotion to professor is far away, so after arriving in Nyasaland, Alan Milton was attracted by the regulations of the University of Nyasaland, according to Alan Milton's work experience, as long as Alan Milton is willing to work at the University of Nyasaland, then Alan Milton can immediately become a tenured professor, whether it is the treatment or the living environment, Compared to Paris, there will be a qualitative improvement immediately.

Roque treats ordinary immigrants very generously, not to mention these high-level talents, the salary is the top level, the living environment is the best of the best, Xuanji City is on the shore of Xuanji Lake, the lakeview villa is still very good, those Natal prisoners of war have made great contributions, the road around the lake has now been repaired for more than half, and the cost is only about one-third compared with Johannesburg, Roque is simply relaxed and happy.

Alan Milton, who taught engineering mechanics at the University of Paris, became interested in diesel engines after arriving in Nyasaland, so he joined Rudolf Diesel's institute to improve the performance of diesel engines.

Researchers in a similar situation to Alan Milton have more than a dozen research institutes in Rudolph Diesel's institute, most of them are German or French, and although the relationship between the two countries is not good now, they are not fundamentally at odds with Nyasaland, and their relationship is quite harmonious.

Rudolf Diesel is also a good person, and every few days he will hold a banquet inside the institute, and after a few banquets, the relationship between the members of the institute has become more and more harmonious.

In mid-July, Roque also attended a banquet held inside the institute and tasted the legendary "scientific dinner".

Actually, it's just some very simple dishes, but because it's related to the research institute, it's jokingly called a "science dinner".

Rudolf Diesel introduced Roque to Alan Milton, who had been in some trouble lately, and the University of Paris did not agree to Alan Milton's resignation, and it is said that he had filed a lawsuit with the District Court of Paris to demand compensation from Alan Milton for the losses caused to the University of Paris due to his resignation.

"Allen has always liked to study machinery, in terms of engines, Allen is very researched, I have several important inventions, and I also have relevant patents, these patents have not had much effect in the University of Paris, because the University of Paris does not have the ability to put the research results into practical use, as a result, now Allen's two important patents are applied to our newly developed diesel engine, so the University of Paris now requires patent sharing, and requires us to pay the relevant patent fees." Rudolf Diesel did not introduce it in great detail, but it did not affect Roque's understanding.

In fact, it is a very simple patent dispute, when there was no profit in the past, the University of Paris probably did not care about Alan Milton's research results at all, and now these patents have begun to produce benefits, and the University of Paris has begun to jump out and pick peaches.

"These studies were conducted in the course of work?" Roque didn't come from an engineering background, so he didn't understand the relationship between engineering mechanics and engines.

"It can't be said that it doesn't matter, after all, these patents were applied for during my work at the University of Paris, but these patents have little to do with the University of Paris, and the University of Paris did not provide any help to my research during my research, and even during my research, the University of Paris forbade me to conduct research in this area for fear of affecting teaching-" Alan Milton is also very aggrieved, and the food appearance of the University of Paris is a little ugly, which is probably the fundamental reason why Alan Milton came to Nyasaland.

In Nyasaland, this problem is largely non-existent.

Roque has a strong financial strength, and if a professor at the University of Nyasaland applies for a patent during his work, even if it cannot be applied to an existing company, the University of Nyasaland will organize personnel to sell the research results, and eventually the developer himself will be able to obtain sufficient profits.

Professor Abu in Johannesburg is a prime example of this, through his research on white medicine and penicillin, Professor Abu's research institute has been handsomely paid, and all the people involved in research and development have benefited from it, and even if Professor Abu retires now, with these two research results, Professor Abu will be able to eat and drink for the rest of his life and quickly accumulate a large fortune.

Roque encourages all scientific research behaviors, although Professor Abu's research on baiyao and penicillin are all projects given by Roque, but Roque is not greedy for Professor Abu's income, and his little money Roque is not eye-catching, compared with the price of baiyao and penicillin, the patent fee is only much, less than one percent.

"Then don't worry, if the University of Paris wants to fight a lawsuit, then the University of Nyasaland will accompany it to the end, and I will hire a team of lawyers and the University of Paris to fight the lawsuit to the end, and I will unconditionally protect the interests of the people of Nyasaland." It is Roque's job to escort scientific researchers, and it is the responsibility of Roque Pediatrics.

As for the lawyer team, there is no need for Roque to worry about it at all, as long as Roque is willing to pay for it, there are not too many lawyers who are willing to work for Roque, as for whether the lawsuit is just-

There aren't many people who care about this.
