People in high positions sometimes inevitably do things that seem unthinkable to ordinary people.

The power of this era was unchecked, such as Cecil Rhodes Jr., in Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes Jr. was the king, he could form a government at will, set up an army, and even wage war against neighboring countries.

In Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes Jr. could even execute anyone, even white, without approval, and in this case, anyone would feel flustered.

Don't try to use normal people's thinking to understand those who are in high positions, such as Emperor Jin Hui's "Why not eat minced meat", normal people will feel that only idiots will say this kind of thing, but for Emperor Jin Hui, "why not eat minced meat" is a matter of course.

Cecil Rhodes Jr. has not yet reached the role of Emperor Jin Hui, so he invited Roque to his home as a guest to further deepen the relationship.

Of course, Cecil Rhodes Jr. didn't prepare any gifts for Roque, and when he reached Cecil Rhodes Jr.'s social status, there was no need to use money to pull relationships, and interests were the bond that formed an alliance.

"Locke, don't worry, the Kimberley side will take good care of those Chinese miners." Cecil Rhodes Jr. knew what Roque cared about.

"Thank you Cecil, and please rest assured, as long as you treat the Chinese well, the Chinese will give you the greatest reward." Roque raised his glass to Cecil Rhodes Jr., the red wine that accompanied the meal came from France, Roque couldn't read the label, it was not a well-known brand, but it tasted very good.

"I've seen your resume, and to be honest I'm curious, you don't look like you're Chinese—" Perhaps in Cecil Rhodes Jr., this is the biggest compliment to Roque.

Roque doesn't think so, while praising Roque, he actually belittles all Chinese.

What do you mean by not being like?

Just because Roque is better?

Can't the Chinese do well?

So Roque's expression was very serious: "Cecil, what the Chinese can do is far beyond your imagination." ”

"I know, I understand—" Cecil Rhodes Jr. understood Roque's words.

Roque smiled and didn't speak, no matter whether Cecil Rhodes Jr. really understands or is casually polite, one day in the future, all white people, including Cecil Rhodes Jr., will have a deep understanding of how far the Chinese can go.

Overall, lunch was enjoyable.

Although Cecil Rhodes Jr. has a little flaw in character, his essence is not bad, Cecil Rhodes Jr. is not a gentleman, but he is not a humble gentleman, Cecil Rhodes Jr. should be the kind of standard aristocrat, high up, overlooking all beings, not domineering, but full of superiority in his bones.

In fact, Cecil Rhodes Jr. can entertain Roque at home, which can already be regarded as a broken corporal, if it is replaced by someone else, it is estimated that he will be grateful, but Roque has no special feelings, if it is Cecil Rhodes, it may also attract Roque's attention, Cecil Rhodes Jr. -

It's far worse than his father.

Of course, this does not affect Roque's attitude towards Cecil Rhodes Jr., coming to this world, Roque strives to fit in, no matter who he is, as long as he expresses goodwill to Roque, he will get Roque's response, so, in the future, if Rhodesia encounters a crisis, Roque will not mind pulling Cecil Rhodes Jr.

Yes, that's that arrogant!

That's how confident!

Don't look at Roque's soft-spoken people now, but Roque just has the confidence to pull Cecil Rhodes Jr.

Cecil Rhodes Jr. certainly doesn't think he'll need Roque's help in the future, but Cecil Rhodes Jr. will certainly be grateful to himself today.

——

The Mission's train was expected to arrive in Johannesburg in the evening, and in order to escape the guerrilla attacks, the Mission chose to take a boat from Cape Town to Durban and from there to Johannesburg by train.

Roque and Joe Russell led the assault team to arrive at the railway station early, although the guerrillas were far away from the Transvaal, but the security situation in Johannesburg was still not optimistic, the contradictions between the expeditionary force and the citizens, the contradictions between the citizens and the police, and the contradictions between the police and the expeditionary force,——

It's all quite outstanding.

At 6 p.m., the investigation team's train was about to arrive in Johannesburg, and Philippe Matilda arrived at the railway station with a group of officials from the Johannesburg City Council.

Roque unexpectedly saw Henry Alsop.

It was indeed an accident, Henry Alsop was just an ordinary supervisor of the Johannesburg Municipal Office, and it was said that he was not qualified to appear here, and those who were qualified to come to pick up the station were basically the chief and deputy officials of the Johannesburg Municipal Government.

Owen, as Philip Matilda's first secretary, is certainly qualified to pick up the station.

Seeing Roque, Owen approached quietly: "Locke, be careful, that guy's father is the head of the investigation team-"

The news was a bit of a surprise, and Roque knew that the "guy" in Irving's mouth was referring to Henry Alsop.

It's not surprising that Roque knows that Henry Alsop's father is also a baron, and he must be qualified to be the head of the investigation team, but at this time he came to Johannesburg-

The building is full of wind and rain.

"Thank you-" Roque remained silent, the soldiers came to block it, the water came to cover it, as long as Roque did not make mistakes, Henry Alsop's father, even if it was Edward VII, could not help Roque.

This is bragging, if Henry Alsop is really the prince, Roque must be far away at this time.

The baron's son feels good about himself, and after his father came, counting Baron Philip, Johannesburg was only two nobles, which is probably about the same as the prince.

So if Roque doesn't take the initiative to find trouble, it doesn't mean that some people will let Roque go.

"Hello, Director Locke—" Henry Alsop spoke in a flirtatious tone, feeling like a cat teasing mice.

It's true that the nine sons of the dragon are different, the Rhodes family is a top wealthy family, Cecil Rhodes Jr. can still be a "corporal of courtesy", the Alsop family is an ordinary nobleman, but the children educated are as rude and rude as vagabonds, looking at Henry Alsop's appearance, he is not very good.

Roque didn't know as much as Henry Alsop, and the relationship between the two was not good enough to make casual conversation, so Roque just nodded slightly, even if it was a greeting.

Owen didn't pay attention to Henry Alsop either, and he didn't even nod his head, more than Roque.

In fact, Roque can understand Henry Alsop's feelings, just like Arnold, there are many nobles like barons in England, and Henry Alsop is estimated to have been suppressed for too long, so when he arrived in the Transvaal, he unconsciously released his nature.

To put it mildly, Henry Alsop and Arnold are the same as those who won the lottery or got rich overnight by demolition, and were carried away by wealth, don't look at them as the children of the nobility, in fact, they have no background in their bones like nouveau riche, this kind of person, sooner or later, will be unlucky.

"Owen must have told you what you're up against, right? How's that, panic? "Henry Alsop knew he wasn't welcome, so he's not welcome.

"Why?" Roque was calm.

"Soon you will know why, because you will soon be where you need to be." Henry Alsop has everything under control.

"Can you stop being so boring? I know your father is a baron, I know your father is the head of the investigation team, but so what? Can your father cover the sky in Johannesburg? Think about it, why is your father the head of the investigation and not anyone else, I think you should be more worried about your father now than to be embarrassed here, idiot! "Roque is really welcome, anyway, he tore his face, scold and scold happily, cover up, no matter how you look at it, it's too obscene.

"You bastard!" Henry Alsop was not stupid, he reflexively cursed, and then his face turned pale.

Roque was right, in Johannesburg, the baron is indeed of a high status, but the "king" of Johannesburg is Cecil Rhodes, so-

Investigating Cecil Rhodes in Johannesburg is indeed not a good errand, and the real good errand is probably not Henry Alsop's father, so Henry Alsop really has nothing to be proud of.

"Hehe, Director Locke, you're right, some people are just stupid." Coincidentally, Cecil Rhodes Jr. was also on the platform.

For Roque, Henry Alsop can play tricks, and against Cecil Rhodes Jr., Henry Alsop will die down immediately.

Jokes aside, even if it looks like the Rhodes family is about to lose power, but in Britain, the Rhodes family is still the undisputed top tycoon, even if Cecil Rhodes made mistakes during his tenure as prime minister of the Cape and must be held responsible for the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Cecil Rhodes Jr., who inherited the South African company, is still eligible to be a guest of honor at the palace if he goes to London.

And Henry Alsop -

It is estimated that his father is not qualified to ask the king at any time.

Not an estimate, yes for sure!

"Hello, Mr. Rhodes." Owen took the initiative to say hello to Cecil Rhodes Jr.

"Hello—" Cecil Rhodes Jr. was very face-saving, not very enthusiastic, but also not indifferent.

This is the demeanor of a top giant, also the son of a baron, Cecil Rhodes Jr. may also look down on Owen, but on the surface, Cecil Rhodes Jr. will not embarrass Owen, after all, idiots like Henry Alsop are not common, most of the time, even in the face of strangers, Cecil Rhodes Jr. will not speak ill of him.

Of course, for people like Henry Alsop, there is no need for Cecil Rhodes Jr. to be polite, this kind of person usually has no great ability, even if he jumps up and down, he can't make any trouble.

Such a scene, in the eyes of Baron Philip, is really meaningful.
