Although the London Military Intelligence Agency failed in southern Africa, its work in Europe was still fruitful. Half a month ago, the Military Intelligence Agency arrested a dancer named Mata Hari in Paris. Mata Hari was originally from Germany.
, served the German intelligence agency, became famous in Paris, had affairs with many high-ranking French officials, and got acquainted with Chris, who worked beside Kitchener during Kitchener's visit to Paris.
That's not what made Rock angry. There was nothing wrong with the MI's arrest of Chris, but there was a big problem with the MI's arrest of Chris in southern Africa.
According to the previous agreement between the Military Intelligence Bureau and Brad, even if Chris has military status and is a standard British person, when Chris comes to southern Africa with Kitchener, the Military Intelligence Bureau should first notify Brad of the relevant situation.
, then Brad sent people to arrest Chris, and finally extradited him to the Military Intelligence Agency.
Instead of not notifying Brad at all and arresting Chris directly in Whale Bay like now.
To put it bluntly, it is an issue of law enforcement authority. On the premise that Southern Africa already has a high degree of autonomy, the British law enforcement agencies have lost law enforcement authority in Southern Africa. Therefore, the arrest of Chris by the Military Intelligence Bureau in Walvis Bay itself was illegal.
As for Kitchin's death on the way to Russia in another time and space, the subsequent investigation results were more complicated, involving the collaboration between the Royal Navy and the Army. There were also serious problems in the Intelligence Bureau and Operations Department within the Royal Navy, which ultimately led to Kitchin's death.
Of course, Chris's leakage was also one of the reasons for the serious consequences of Na's death.
Now Kitchina is still alive and well, and her physical and mental condition seems to be good. Rock also hopes that Kitchina can better serve as a lubricant between Southern Africa and the British government. It would be great if we all make money and get rich together. Military Intelligence
If the situation is so frantically involved and at odds with each other, it will be abandoned by the times sooner or later.
"Chris has been working with me for many years. I didn't expect him to do something like this. This should be my fault. If I had been more strict with Chris, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."
Qin Na felt very guilty, and it is understandable if you think about it. If something like this happened to An Qi or Barton, Rock would also feel very guilty.
"Marshal, this is not your fault. Chris is an adult and should be responsible for his actions." Rock tried his best to comfort him. Kitchener was already in his seventies and had served the British Empire all his life. Unexpectedly,
Late nights are not guaranteed at this time.
No matter what Roark said, if something like this happened to the people around Kitchina, Kitchina must be responsible. This is also a big scandal for the War Department. Roark can now understand that Winston
Why did Kitchina come to southern Africa? This was to protect Kitchina to a certain extent.
"Don't comfort me, I won't be knocked down, but what's the matter with you? Isn't it good for southern Africa to stay in the British Empire? Why do you do this?" Kitchener didn't need Rock's comfort at all, and the topic immediately changed.
to the relationship between southern Africa and the British Empire.
"What?" Roque was confused and didn't know what Kitchina was referring to.
"The Commonwealth! Didn't you instruct those two Boers to propose it?" Kitchener still has prejudices against the Boers. He is indeed a weird and stubborn little old man.
"Marshal, regardless of whether Yang and Louis proposed the Commonwealth at my request, do you think the previous model between the British Empire and the overseas dominions is still suitable for the current situation?" Roque did not deny it directly. The establishment of the Commonwealth was definitely not Roque's decision.
Just after Young Smuts and Louis Botha proposed the establishment of the Commonwealth, representatives from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries unanimously agreed. Even the colony of India welcomed the Commonwealth proposal.
, the trend is irreversible.
"In any case, it is not you in southern Africa who should make this suggestion -" Kitchina also knew that today is different from the past, but the traditional soldiers' deep-rooted loyalty to the emperor made Kitchina unable to accept it.
"It doesn't matter who proposes it. Of course, it is best for London to propose this initiative, but London will not do this." Rock disagrees with Kitchener's view. The economic base determines the superstructure. The industrial output value of southern Africa exceeds that of the United Kingdom.
In one moment, today's outcome was destined.
While Rock and Kitchen were having a heated discussion, a car passed by the Rand Bank headquarters building. Kitchen was obviously shocked by the 230-meter-high main building and forgot to argue with Rock for a moment.
"This is the headquarters of Rand Bank in Nyasaland. It is 230 meters high. It is the pride of Nyasaland." Rock explained softly that there is no such tall building in London. The Big Ben that Londoners are proud of is only 97 meters.
.
Of course, Big Ben has become the pride of Londoners not because of its height, but skyscrapers undoubtedly represent the pinnacle of industry in the region. Compared with Big Ben and Nyasaland Headquarters, both are new and one-of-a-kind.
The symbolic meaning represented by the old is more worth pondering.
"It's unbelievable. When was this building built?" Kitchina's impression of Nyasaland is a virgin forest. Even during the World War, Nyasaland's products were sold in Europe, and Kitchingna never expected it.
, Nyasaland unexpectedly came to us in such a shocking situation.
"About two or three years ago, I don't know. I was in Europe at the time." Roque didn't care about these things. Now Roque is also very high-ranking. Roque no longer cares about small things like building skyscrapers.
Kitchin stopped talking and leaned back in his chair, watching the fleeting street scene outside the car window in silence.
Sunset Avenue is indeed quite good, with a width that is rare in British cities. Most of the streets in Britain are narrow and winding. There are very few straight streets like Sunset Avenue, which are often about 100 meters wide. Green belts are used on both sides of the street to separate different areas.
The lanes are lined with shops, and many shops use colorful neon lights on their signs. Although it is daytime, those shops still turn on their lights in order to attract customers, just like the electricity bill is free.
Kitchener suddenly realized a problem. If the lights can be turned on even during the day, then the power supply in Los Angeles should be sufficient, which is also not possible in London now.
London can only achieve stable power supply in the main urban area. The power supply in the suburbs is also unstable, and most civilian households cannot afford electric lights at all. This is a huge gap from Los Angeles. Street lights have been installed along Sunset Avenue, and they are very dense.
Because of the arrival of Kitchener, Sunset Avenue was temporarily closed, and police cars were on duty at every intersection. The police cars in Nyasaland use blue and white paint, which looks pleasing to the eye, but it is also more expensive.
, It’s a pity that Kitchina hasn’t noticed this yet.
In addition to the Rand Building, the buildings on both sides of Sunset Avenue are also very charming. The wooden houses on both sides of the street were gradually replaced by white marble buildings. Buildings with more than ten floors are everywhere, and buildings with only two or three floors are more than ten meters high.
, the roof is also usually decorated with sculptures and spires.
The density of parks, squares and green spaces on both sides of the road is also surprising. For London, where land is at a premium, this situation is almost impossible, but in Los Angeles, there are such public spaces almost every few hundred meters.
place.
The flatness of the road also surprised Kitchener. For a big city like Los Angeles, it is very simple to build a road like Sunset Avenue, but the subsequent maintenance is even more troublesome. The Los Angeles City Government has obviously done a good job in this regard.
, the car drove all the way, Kitchina didn't even feel the bumps.
"Unbelievable, Nyasaland has not been your fief for a long time, right?" Kitchina was reflecting on it. After the end of the world war, Kitchinna and Roque were both promoted to marquis, and Rock's fiefdom of Nyasa was
Lanbi, the fiefdom of Kitchina——
Just don’t say it.
"The current Nyasaland is not due to me alone. You know, I don't have much time in Nyasaland every year." Rock is not proud, Nyasaland can be better.
The car drove straight to the Rhodesia Hotel, where Kitchener stayed during his stay in Los Angeles.
Because Kitchina traveled a long distance, Kitchina's welcome dinner was not until the evening. After Rock and Philip sent Kitchina to the room, they still had time to go to Angel's wedding banquet and send blessings to the two newlyweds.
After returning to Eagle Fort, Rock called Fox over and asked Fox if he knew that the MI had arrested Chris in Whale Bay.
"The Military Intelligence Bureau did not inform us of the situation in advance. After the Military Intelligence Bureau learned that Chris had rebelled, Chris was already on the way to Whale Bay with Marshal Kitchener. As soon as Chris got off the boat, the Military Intelligence Bureau arrested Chris.
Then he was escorted back to London on a passenger ship. When we learned about the situation, the passenger ship Chris was on had already left Whale Bay." Fox looked guilty, and he didn't expect that the Military Intelligence Agency would actually do this. Not long after the agreement was reached, the Military Intelligence Agency
Just take the initiative to break the agreement.
"Send a telegram to London, asking them to give a reasonable explanation, and compile a list of members of the Military Intelligence Agency. If London does not give a reasonable explanation, then all Military Intelligence personnel will be in southern Africa."
Entry is strictly prohibited." Roque will not let go of the Military Intelligence Agency easily. There is a first time for everything and there is a second time. If Roque tolerates it, it will only make the Military Intelligence Agency more arrogant.
"The Military Intelligence Agency has several companies here that are engaged in trade between southern Africa and the mainland. Should we take action against these companies?" Fox was also extremely angry. The Military Intelligence Agency in London simply didn't take Brad seriously.
, otherwise there wouldn’t be even a briefing on the situation.
"Then do it immediately and find a way to let London know that Southern Africa is no longer southern Africa of the British Empire." Rock will never give in. Britain can appoint a governor general of Southern Africa, but it cannot send intelligence to Southern Africa.
