The police system is an important part of the Ministry of Justice, and the Director of the Police Division is the former Cape Town Police Chief August Russell, and after Henry became Minister of Justice, the Pretoria Police Department has been replaced by the former Bloemfontein Police Chief Joe Russell.

After Li De went to work for Adan Company, Gao De succeeded Li De as the chief of the Johannesburg Police.

After the establishment of Adan Company, only Mayotte was the base camp of the Umbrella Company's overseas assets, and other overseas assets belonged to Adan Company.

Only then did Li De discover how powerful the umbrella company, which was silent in southern Africa, had become.

Not only Port Elizabeth and the Adan Islands, but also the Umbrella Company has training bases in Nepal and France, immigration transit stations in Luzon and the Dutch East Indies, and the Umbrella Company's business has even expanded into the Americas, and as of this month, the Umbrella Company's registered mercenaries have reached as many as 39,000 and can be organized into two reorganizations at any time, and the Umbrella Company even has a fleet of more than 20 ships.

No wonder Roque wants to break up the umbrella.

It's no wonder Jonathan happily relinquished the management of his overseas assets.

Compared with the Adan Islands, the British government attaches more importance to Socotra and does not agree to sell Socotra to the umbrella company, even if the umbrella company raises the price to 10,000 pounds, the British government still does not agree.

In fact, at this stage, the location of Socotra Island is more important than the Adan Islands.

The Adan Islands are almost unknown because of their distance from the mainland and inaccessible to the people.

Socotra Island is located at the exit of the Gulf of Aden, guarding the Suez Canal, a major transportation route, and the British government has made Socotra a military restricted area, even if Ade and Philip come forward, they have not obtained the consent of the British government.

Although Southern Africa is still nominally a Commonwealth country, after all, Southern Africa is already autonomous, and the British government is still very tough on this point, even if Roque pays more money, the British government will not sell Socotra.

Can't buy Socotra, Roque is not in a hurry, for southern Africa, Socotra is actually dispensable, the future value is far from Port Elizabeth and the Adan Islands, the Adan Islands want to reflect the value, at least twenty years later, the importance of Port Elizabeth has begun to emerge with the discovery of oil, so Li Degang went to Port Elizabeth soon after taking office.

Adan is also headquartered in Port Elizabeth.

The current area of Port Elizabeth is no longer 18,000 square kilometers, but after the signing of the agreement with the Ottoman Empire, the area of Port Elizabeth has expanded to 37,000 square kilometers, and pilots sent by the Ottoman Empire are trained in Port Elizabeth.

The current Port Elizabeth is no longer the small fishing village it used to be, according to the convention, the port is still divided into port area and living area, considering oil transportation, the planned port can dock 10,000-ton giant ships, and now the construction of the port is still in progress, and it is expected that it will not be fully completed until 1912.

In order to protect Port Elizabeth, the Umbrella Company stationed nearly 5,000 mercenaries in Port Elizabeth, and the head of the mercenaries was Donne, who also worked beside Roque.

When Li De worked beside Roque, Tang En served as Roque's bodyguard, and the relationship between the two was very good, and now Li De became the head of Port Elizabeth, and Tang En managed five thousand mercenaries to be responsible for the operation, and the two still had a tacit understanding together.

"The mercenaries in Port Elizabeth are divided into five regiments, two regiments are stationed in Port Elizabeth, one regiment is stationed in the oil fields, and one regiment is stationed at the New Cape of Good Hope, and guess where the last regiment is?" When he met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, Don was in a very good mood.

The new Cape of Good Hope is Ras Al Khaimah, which is now also owned by Adan under a new agreement between Nyasaland and the Ottoman Empire.

"I don't know, it's your job." Li De has clear responsibilities and responsibilities, and he will never interfere in affairs that should not be interfered in.

"In Najd—" Donn laughed.

"What are you doing in Najd?" Don's answer surprised Li De a little, as per the agreement between Nyasaland and the Ottoman Empire, Najd was now Ottoman territory.

"Let's see if there's a cheap way to take advantage of it-are we mercenaries, we don't have a business, we have to make a business if we find a way-" Don is not embarrassed, the current Najd is not an independent country, many tribes are fighting endlessly, and it is normal for the umbrella company to intervene.

History is sometimes ridiculous, after the establishment of some countries, in order to prove the legitimacy of the regime, they will dress up their own history in various ways, Japan's Warring States Period, the total strength of a country is only 50 people, what kind of country is this? The scale of the fight with the two villages is not as good.

The same is true of Port Elizabeth, where the population of the Abbasid Empire once reached 50 million, but after a long evolution, the mighty Abbasid Empire fell into ashes, and the peninsula was torn apart, leaving only small tribes of one or two thousand people.

Some tribes, with only a few hundred people, dare to claim to be a country, which is really incomprehensible to Tang En and Li De.

For Roque, no amount of territory is too much, so one Port Elizabeth simply cannot meet Roque's requirements, if he can, Roque hopes that the entire peninsula can become an enclave of southern Africa in the future, so that southern Africa will have the confidence to have enough say in the future.

"Be careful, don't make a fuss." Li De kindly reminded that during this time, as Li De's understanding of the umbrella company gradually deepened, Li De finally understood what the mercenaries of the umbrella company were.

Relatively speaking, the Chinese mercenaries and Gurkha mercenaries in the umbrella company are better, and those white mercenaries, to put it mildly, are not too much to describe as "scum concentration camps".

In Europe, Umbrella companies are still restrained.

Outside of Europe, the Umbrella Corporation exhibits a standard colonial mentality.

In previous agreements between Nyasaland and the Ottoman Empire, Ras Al Khaimah became the territory of Port Elizabeth, and once a trading center on the southern shore of the Gulf, with its fleet sailing to the major trading ports of Mumbai and East Africa, a city that dates back 7,000 years.

But all this did not become a reason for the umbrella company to look at Ras Al Khaimah differently.

For the Umbrella Company, the only value of Ras Al Khaimah is to provide protection for the oil waterway of Port Elizabeth, so after the Umbrella Company took over Ras Al Khaimah, the name Ras Al Khaimah was changed to a new Cape of Good Hope with strong southern African characteristics, and all the indigenous people living in Ras Al Khaimah were cleared, and the entire city was transformed by the Umbrella Company according to its own will, all kinds of historical sites in the city were demolished, and the whole city was transformed into a war fortress with strong military colors.

In this short passage, there are many unwritten truths that are not written, and there must be some natives who have lived in the New Cape of Good Hope for generations who are unwilling to give up their homeland.

In the report of the umbrella company, Li De did not see the treatment of these indigenous people by the umbrella company, but according to the traditional colonial thinking, most of these people have been mishap.

There are many such examples, the most recent example being the Herero people in German South-West Africa, when the Herero people began to rebel five years ago, the Germans in South-West Africa were given the order to kill the Herero if they found him, whether he was armed or not.

So the Herero people, who once had a population of maybe a million, no longer exist.

At least in the territory of German South-West Africa, it no longer exists.

This is the usual method of colonizers to rule the colonies.

Relatively speaking, the umbrella company is already quite humane, at least when the umbrella company encounters a problem, it will not raise the butcher knife as soon as it comes up.

"Hehe, it's okay, we are hired by the local natives of Najd, do you know what they ask us for? Kill everyone we meet! Tang En sneered, during this time, the tribes that were wiped out by mercenaries did not know how many, and Tang En would not ask how many there were, let alone make relevant statistics.

"What do they pay for? Pounds? Li De was curious about the desert people's ability to pay.

"Gold, or land, or people, a lot of mercenaries have made their home in Port Elizabeth, even if many of them have families in southern Africa—" Don couldn't make an expression on his face, he guessed that he would have nightmares when he slept at night.

No one is perfect, and mercenaries cannot be held accountable by moral standards, and although monogamy is practiced in southern Africa, this rule cannot be successfully enforced in many parts of southern Africa, let alone mercenaries abroad.

Many of the mercenaries were not even southern Africans, let alone could not be bound by the laws of southern Africa.

"Either way, it's good for us in Port Elizabeth." Li De also does not have a high moral standard, and saints cannot survive in this era, and even the professors of the University of Nyasaland will not make irresponsible remarks about such things.

"The population of Port Elizabeth is now more than 5,000, and according to the regulations, schools and hospitals should be established now, but you also know that our umbrella company does not have these resources, and most of the children of those Gurkha mercenaries will still be mercenaries when they grow up. Don still attaches great importance to education, not only the next generation, but also a student at the Nyasaland Army Academy.

If you don't learn, you can't do it, this is Roque's requirement, the officers of the army must go through formal training, and all the work in southern Africa will slowly get on the right track in the future, and if you don't know a lot of words like before, you won't even have the opportunity to join the army.
