1038 Poisoner
The team that followed Mike Carlisle and Beckland to New York consisted of 150 people, most of whom were market researchers, except for more than two dozen security personnel from Delta.
In Beckland's view, since the new company is to open up the U.S. market, most of the team members should be technicians and market developers, and there is no need for market researchers to exist.
Mike Carlisle attaches great importance to market research, and before he left, he produced dozens of various survey forms, covering everything from customer needs to insurance types, and Mike Carlisle explained Bekeland's questions.
"We don't make cars for customers to use, we produce cars that customers need, Ford's way of doing business is destined to be eliminated by the market, and we don't want to beat Ford in a short period of time, it's a long process, let's take our time."
It was the first time Beckland had seen a general manager as focused on customer needs as Michael Carlisle.
Almost all large companies in the United States have a government background, and at the moment when monopoly trusts are rampant, customers actually have no choice, only what kind of products are provided by large companies, and what kind of products customers passively accept, and there is no room for pursuing individual freedom.
This is not the case with companies in Nyasaland, and during his time in Los Angeles, Beckland found that companies in Nyasaland value the customer experience, and even South African companies regularly send investigators to conduct social surveys on the streets to solicit public opinions on South African companies.
It is difficult to say whether the South African company will adopt these opinions, but the respondents do feel the respect of the South African company and are more loyal to the South African company's products.
These street surveys generally have small gifts to take, gifts must be the products of the major companies, or specially customized toy models, Nyasaland Automotive Group will specialize in the production of car models for external gifts, which has gradually become an industry, and some people are making a living from it.
"What kind of cars do we produce if the customer needs?" Beckland questioned that if that were to happen, the estimated costs would be pushed up to the point where they would be immense.
"Let's just say it's not that difficult, you'll know when the time comes." Mike Carlisle can't explain it clearly in one sentence or two, car customization service is not as complicated as going to a tailor shop to customize a set of clothes, there are rules to follow, what Beckland finds very difficult, is actually very simple for Mike Carlisle.
Nyasaland was indeed very efficient, and on May 25, Mike Carlisle and Beckland left for the United States, and before they did, a group of staff had already arrived in New York ahead of schedule, and preparations were now underway.
Roque did not personally go to the airport to see him off, and there was a serious policing incident in Orange, where a veteran named Aldington angrily shot the local mayor and sheriff after returning home, and then killed two patrol officers, stole a police car used by the patrol officers, and fled to Pretoria via the Bloemfontein-Johannesburg road, allegedly to Nyasaland.
After the end of the World War, some veterans experienced symptoms such as personality changes, emotional numbness, impulsiveness, and being easily frightened, which Roque knew was a type of post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as post-war psychological syndrome, but others did not know.
The current level of medical care has not yet reached the level of paying attention to the mental health of veterans.
"Aldington was an outstanding soldier during the World War, serving in the 105th Division, and after the World War, Aldington retired with the rank of Sergeant Major, and he was a hero who received one Hero and two Meritorious Service Medals during the World War." Paul Cocker reported to Roque with a clear tendentiousness.
When he heard the name of the 105th Division, Roque suddenly felt heavy.
The 105th Division was the first batch of troops in southern Africa to go to Europe to participate in the war, and during the World War, the 105th Division made great achievements and suffered heavy losses, and was almost withdrawn from the establishment after three defeats.
After the end of the world war, the 105th Division was not withdrawn, but continued to remain in Europe to participate in the intervention actions that the Entente was preparing to launch against the new Russian government.
In the armies of southern Africa, the status of sergeant major is very special, only those who are highly qualified, but for some reason can not become an officer can be a soldier, almost every sergeant major is a god of murder who has survived countless bloody battles, the Medal of Hero is the highest honor that a soldier in southern Africa can receive, and the police in Orange are indeed invincible.
"What kind of injustice?" Roque's focus was not just on Aldington's atrocities, and from the fact that Aldington's destination was Nyasaland, it was clear that Aldington had come to find Roque.
"During the World War, when Aldington's parents died, and the mayor and sheriff teamed up to encroach on the Aldington family's farm, and for a while, Aldington didn't write to the family, and as a result, they thought that Aldington must have died in battle, and then they went unpunished—" Paul Cocker sneered, there is never no hatred in the world for no reason.
"Cheap them!" As Secretary of Defense, Roque abhorred the infringement of military interests, which could only happen in Orange, which is now the weakest state in southern Africa, and many federal government policies cannot be effectively implemented in Orange.
Such a tragedy could have been avoided if the State of Orange had seriously implemented the regulations of the Federal Government of Southern Africa.
"Both the Prime Minister and Minister Henry want us to send out our fighters to assist the Justice Department in the arrest of Aldington." Paul Coker's personal opinion and sending fighters to capture a Medal of Hero recipient was a difficult decision for Roque and Paul Coker.
This is an emotional wound for all military personnel.
"You can send someone to help, but if you catch someone, you have to hand them over to a military court for trial." Roque does not protect his shortcomings, and although the mayor and sheriff are innocent, the two patrol officers are innocent.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished.
"Minister Henry probably won't agree, Aldington has been discharged and is not eligible for court-martials." Paul Cocker reminded Roque.
"It's okay, I'll take care of Minister Henry." Roque took the initiative to take responsibility, and the Ministry of Defense was also responsible for this matter, and if the local military service and rifle association in Orange had been informed about this in time, then perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
In this way, it seems that the military service club and the rifle association are going to be put in order.
Roark did what he said, and the next day the troops stationed near Pretoria were all dispatched, setting up cards around Pretoria to find Aldington.
Aldington also knew that the target of driving the stolen police car was too obvious, and after fleeing Orange, Aldington threw away the police car and is now missing.
All Roque could do was to expand the search area, and Aldington, as a recipient of the Medal of Heroes, had clear photographs to assist in searching, but it would take time to send wanted warrants all over southern Africa, and now there were no computers, and the images transmitted by fax machines were not clear enough due to technical conditions, which added more difficulties to the capture of Aldington.
However, the good news is that guns are not banned in southern Africa, and the proportion of people with guns is very high, and it is very difficult for Aldington to enter the city, in the vast and sparsely populated rural areas, because the floating population is small, and Aldington's activity space is also very limited, but the living space is very large, the agriculture in southern Africa is too developed, and food can be found everywhere, if Aldington hides in the mountains, then with Aldington's ability to survive in the wild, it is really difficult to find him.
The elite units of southern Africa have received a certain degree of survivability in the wilderness, and Aldington's ten excellent sergeant majors are also outstanding in this regard.
Rocco's communication with Henry also had problems, Henry did not agree to hand Aldington over to a court-martial, even though Roque promised that the court-martials would give Aldington the harshest punishment, Henry refused to give up his rights.
"It doesn't matter what the outcome is, even if a military tribunal would have sentenced Aldington to death, it would be an insult to the southern African justice system to bring that guy to a military tribunal." Henry is resolute that the result is not important, the process is the most important.
"Now that you're emphasizing the justice system, where is the dignity of the Justice Department when the mayor and sheriff of Aldington's hometown encroach on the Oldington family's farm?" Roque-for-tat, about the Department of Justice-
It is true that there are many bad habits that are difficult to return, and many of them have appeared during Roque's tenure at the Department of Justice.
"I am not an immortal, the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice is to maintain the justice and fairness of the law, so that those criminals can get the punishment they deserve, as for why those criminals committed crimes, this is not within the scope of the Ministry of Justice." Henry did not admit that the Ministry of Justice had made a mistake in its work, and that it was true that the justice system in southern Africa was not about preventing crime, but about ending it.
Before Roque could speak, Henry's secretary hurriedly pushed the door open.
"Lord, Minister, Aldington has struck again—" The secretary grimaced, handing the telegram to Henry.
Henry glanced at the telegram, snorted a few times, and handed it to Roque.
Aldington struck again at a farm forty kilometres north of Pretoria, this time killed by a couple of farmers, both Chinese.
Luckily, the farmer's children were all in school and were away from home, so they narrowly escaped Aldington's murder.
