549 Gold

In Nyasaland, you can unscrupulously spread the affairs of King George V, you can unscrupulously evaluate the ability of Federal Prime Minister Ade to govern, and you can even openly question the administrative efficiency of the government of Nyasaland, and the only thing that cannot be slandered is the Viscount of Nyasaland.

Although nominally part of southern Africa, Roque's prestige in Nyasaland is unmatched, and the federal government, the British Empire, and even the British Crown are not as prestigious as Roque in Nyasaland, and anyone who dares to be disrespectful to Roque in public, even if it is only verbal, will be treated with hostility by all Nyasalanders.

What's more, Little Rock is also the seat of the government of Nyasaland, the name of the city is named after "Locke", all the residents of Little Rock only need to look up, they can see the Eagle Fort located on the top of the hill on the outskirts of Nyasaland City, compared to five years ago, Little Rock has expanded nearly twice, but the Eagle Fort is still located on the outskirts of Little Rock, and even the city planning is deliberately avoiding the Eagle Castle area.

What's more, the Oak Bar was originally Ada's property, and the relationship between Ida and Roque is well known in southern Africa, so these Chinese Americans didn't know what was going on, so they were thrown into the secret prison of Brad's office.

"It's just nonsense, hurry up and get people out and send them to Mrs. Capet's hotel for good placement, your Brad's office is really amazing." Anton was immediately anxious when he found out about this, but he didn't know who to blame, so he had to take out his anger on Xia Jiu, the person in charge of Brad's office.

Xia Jiu was just transferred to Brad's office at the beginning of this year, and Southern Africa has actually made a great breakthrough in prosthetics now, at least Xia Jiu can be fitted with a more convenient prosthetic, but Xia Jiu doesn't want to change, now the iron hook has become a part of Xia Jiu's body, without the iron hook, Xia Jiu will be very uncomfortable.

"There's nothing bad about Brad's office, we're just fulfilling our fingers." Xia Jiu is neither soft nor hard to go back, by Roque's side, Xia Jiu's qualifications are actually not much worse than Anton, not as good as Anton Martin, at least at the same level as Buck Sam.

Anton is now turning to politics as governor of Nyasaland, Martin is at home in the military, Buck is the lieutenant governor of the Transvaal, vice chairman of the Liberal Party committee, and Roque's number one spokesman in the federal government, and Sam is the general manager of Umbrella and a member of parliament for southern Africa.

"Lao Jiu, don't blame me for not reminding you, they are important to the Lord." Anton can still hold back his temper, the old brothers are all qualified, and the way of working cannot be too rough.

"What's so important, these people have been in Nyasaland for more than half a month, and they haven't seen anything serious except for drinking and asking for money-" Xia Jiu disagreed, obviously the American way of life was not suitable for southern Africa.

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone is a person who does big things, hurry up and let people go." Anton doesn't talk nonsense, and the bird's ambition is good, and in Roque's words, better rest is for better work.

"They have earned 150,000 rand in Nyasaland during this time, and they are going to go to the Transvaal, which is to play with our Chinese in southern Africa as fools." Xia Jiu's attitude was a bit intense.

"People call it fundraising, not cheating money." Anton actually admires those Americans, including the Chinese in southern Africa, most of the Chinese will be enthusiastic to embrace the new life after immigration, and few people will take the initiative to do something for the Chinese in the Qing Kingdom.

Even Luo Ke, who has been transporting grain to the Qing State all these years, is actually for the purpose of serving immigrants.

"Empty words and white teeth, it's not a liar, you are the governor, no one dares to lie to you, we have dealt with a lot of liars." Xia Jiu still resisted, and it was still the same sentence, the forest was big and there were all kinds of birds, if it weren't for Roque's rise so fast, everyone might still be making a broken bowl on the dock in Cape Town to deceive people.

"Lao Jiu, let you give up everything you have now and return to the Qing Kingdom to rebel and overthrow the Qing government, are you willing?" Anton put himself in his shoes and asked himself if he could do it.

"Why?" Xia Jiu immediately exploded.

"Then come on, let them go." Anton is no longer reasonable.

"They're not liars?" Xia Jiu was skeptical.

"It's not!"

"If they really aren't liars, I'll make amends with wine and give them another year's salary." Xia Jiu is not unreasonable, as the head of Brad's office, Xia Jiu's salary is still very high, 1500 rand a year.

Looking back, Roque was not stingy.

However, instead of donating money, Roque gave a batch of weapons, which are more effective than cash.

Originally, Roque wanted to meet the Americans and talk to them about how to overthrow the Qing government more quickly, but on the night of July 30, miners in a gold mine in Johannesburg rioted, and Roque rushed to Johannesburg to forget about it.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you see it or not, with the intervention of the umbrella company, it is not difficult to overthrow the rule of the Qing government, and the mercenaries of the umbrella company are experts in this regard.

As the train passed through Salisbury, Smalls boarded the train to go to Johannesburg with Roque.

"The gold mine where the riot took place was called Marcellus, it just changed its name last year, the new owner seems to be French, the manager of this gold mine is dazed, what kind of democratic policy is implemented in the mine, allowing workers to form unions in the mines, as a result of the workers going on strike as soon as the union is formed, Aiden and the manager went to negotiate terms with the workers, but they were detained by the workers, and now the miners are closing the mine and threatening to blow up the mine if they don't agree to their terms." He is the president of the Johannesburg Mining Alliance, and it is his duty to do so.

"The French are elected, and if this continues, the manager of the mine will probably have to be elected." Roque didn't know if the matter had anything to do with the Orange MPs, and that would have to happen to Johannesburg later.

"Aiden was also dizzy, and directly sent the military and police into the scene, and those who dared to resist were all shot, and they couldn't make trouble at all, now it's okay, take the initiative to send them to the door as hostages, and they deserve to die." Aiden is the secretary general of the Mining Alliance, and Si Si is not in Johannesburg all the year round, and Aiden is responsible for the specific affairs of the Mining Alliance.

Roque was speechless, if the manager of the mine was naïve, had just arrived in Johannesburg, and did not know the situation in Johannesburg, then Aiden could be regarded as a native of southern Africa, having worked in Johannesburg for many years, and it was really not appropriate to make such a mistake.

The train was speeding through Pretoria, with Owen and Sidney Milner boarding and arriving in Johannesburg on August 1, more than 48 hours after Aiden's detention.

The person who came to pick up the station was Johannesburg Police Chief Gaude, and as soon as Roque saw Gaude, he split his head and covered his face: "How did it happen like this?" ”

Gold in Johannesburg is important to both the Southern African and British governments, Southern Africa needs gold from Johannesburg for development funds, and the British government needs gold from Johannesburg to stabilize the gold content of the pound, so London and Pretoria are concerned.

"It happened a little suddenly, and last month the mine and the umbrella company terminated the security contract, and the mine organized its own security personnel, and I reminded Blake at that time." Gao De's eyes flickered a little, and Roque immediately understood that there should be something else hidden.

After the establishment of the umbrella company, it took over the security work of almost all the Johannesburg mines, and over the years, the Johannesburg mines have indeed not had similar incidents, so some people think that the umbrella company is too easy to make money.

The termination of the contract is like a breach of the embankment, once the opening is opened, and there is no accident, then more and more mines and umbrella companies will terminate the contract, so the inside story of this matter is really hard to say, maybe there is also the deliberate connivance of the umbrella company and the Johannesburg Police Department, otherwise it would not be so big.

Roque was also busy with work during this time and neglected Johannesburg, so Roque just glanced at Gaude lightly, and then got into the same car as Sidney Milner.

"It can't have anything to do with Umbrella Corporation." Sidney Milner isn't stupid either.

"There should be no direct relationship." Roque confessed that he and Sidney Milner had formed a community of interests a long time ago, and if something really happened, Roque and Sidney Milner would work together to suppress the matter.

"The production of gold cannot be affected." Sidney Milnati demanded, and this was also the purpose for which Ade sent Sidney Milner.

"No, it won't." Roque decisively said that Johannesburg's gold production has always been above the level, and one or two of the dozens of gold mines in the Rand mining area will not have much impact on the whole.

"What are you going to do?" Sidney Milner was curious.

"Catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed, some people's hands are too long." Roque was decisive, now everyone knows that Johannesburg has a lot of gold, and capitalists all over the world want to get a piece of the pie, in addition to the French, there is now an Anglo-American mining company that is also buying gold mines in Johannesburg, and now it has acquired three.

This Anglo-American mining company is not the same as the Anglo-American oil company on the peninsula, but the capital behind it is both British and American large enterprises.

"Pay attention to the impact, the gold of our southern Africa still belongs to our southern Africa." Sidney Milner also has his own little calculations.

"Don't worry, wait—" Roque knew what Sidney Milner meant, it was a gold mine, a lucrative business, and everyone wanted it.
