Probably starting in 1915, with the advancement of navigation technology, more and more ocean-going cargo ships will choose to dock at Zhenghe Island and directly cross the entire Indian Ocean.
Before that, ocean-going cargo ships basically chose to pass through Ceylon, India, and the Sultanate of Muscat if they wanted to cross the Indian Ocean. The Addam Islands are as important to the surrounding Indian Ocean as the Suez Canal is to the Eurasian continent.
After the legal battle with the Royal Navy, London basically gave up its pursuit of the Addane Islands. Now the Addane Islands are still the private property of Rock, and their status is more stable than Nyasaland. The residents of the island only look up to Rock.
, many people have no idea who George V and Philip are.
According to statistics from the Addan Islands Port Authority last year, there are 13,115 official residents in the entire Addan Islands, and there are also about 3,000 African and Indian employees. The nature of their work in the Addan Islands is the same as that in southern Africa, and the maximum working hours are different.
It will take more than four years.
In addition, there are some Japanese and Southeast Asians on the island who are engaged in trade or other businesses. Some people also tried to become permanent residents of the Adang Islands, but unfortunately they were unable to do so.
Southern Africa has always been cautious on this issue, and it is not easy to become a Southern African national.
In addition to prospering business in southern Africa, the influx of foreign people has also brought about some other problems. On the day Rock arrived on Zhenghe Island, a serious security incident occurred on the island. A drunk British white man directly
He broke into a Chinese resident's home and tried to assault the hostess, but was shot dead by the hostess.
If it were a Japanese or an Indian, there would be no need for a trial in this matter. If you die in vain, the court will not accept it at all.
It's very troublesome when it comes to white British people. Many white British people have the impression that the Addane Islands are still a British colony. British white people should enjoy superior privileges in the Addane Islands. Therefore, some white British people demand severe punishment for shooting.
If the hostess who shot the drunkard was shot, at least the white man who was shot should get some financial compensation? Instead of getting nothing now.
It's not like nothing was gained. According to the laws of southern Africa, not only did the hostess not have to pay the price, but the white man who was killed had to make financial compensation.
"Actually, there wasn't much money. When the white man who was killed broke in, he damaged a door? And a small section of fence, and broke two panes of glass. The total amount was only a few rands? But the key to this matter is that
Is it extremely bad in nature? Some people are really outrageous, wantonly destroying public property, and violating laws and disciplines. This kind of thing has happened once in the first half of the year? But the victim is Japanese? The male host was not at home at the time? The hostess was seriously injured
Violation - "Zhu Jun doesn't care about exposing his family shortcomings? Legal regulation always requires a long process.
"How was that matter handled?" Rock was in a bad mood? In southern Africa itself, this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen.
"Imprisonment - Although there is no prison on Zhenghe Island, the most indispensable thing in the Adang Islands is an uninhabited desert island. That guy was exiled to an uninhabited desert island with an area of less than 100 square meters? And then there was no such thing.
People have seen him -" Zhu Jun sneered? The Adan Islands are more than two thousand kilometers away from the nearest mainland? Exile to an uninhabited desert island? It seems more effective than direct shooting.
After all, bullets cost money.
"Then how are you going to handle this matter?" Luo Ke was very satisfied with the way Zhu Jun handled it. There is no need for mercy when dealing with this kind of scum, and he will deserve to die.
In southern Africa? The purpose of the law is not to cure illnesses and save lives, but to allow criminals to receive the punishment they deserve. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the victim.
The judicial departments of Southern Africa are still very resolute in this regard, and they are not just targeting white people. If Chinese people break the law, the judicial departments of Southern Africa are also merciless. Those who should be thrown into the mines will still be mined, and those who should be shot will be executed most of the time. Everyone is equal before the law.
The reason is that most of the time, there must be exceptions. The law is nothing more than human relationships, and sometimes it needs to be handled according to the specific circumstances.
"From my personal point of view, the hostess who fired the shot is not guilty. However, there are still differences on this point. The family of the deceased hired a lawyer. The lawyer insisted that the deceased just walked into the wrong door and did not make any move to threaten the hostess. He was directly shot to death by the hostess. The hostess was acting defensively, so the deceased should be given certain financial compensation." Zhu Jun gritted his teeth. The profession of lawyer is really hard to please at any time. It is criticized as the most annoying job in southern Africa. One of the professions.
Although the legal system of Southern Africa is also an extension of the British and American legal systems, the role of lawyers is not as critical as that of the United Kingdom and the United States. In Southern Africa, judges and juries play a key role in judgments, and the role of lawyers is very limited.
Of course, lawyers still play a role in certain special moments. For example, in this case, under normal circumstances, lawyers can obtain some compensation to some extent.
It's better than getting nothing at all.
"Let's not talk about whether he made any move to threaten the hostess. Under normal circumstances, it is legal to kill someone who breaks into one's home illegally." Roque has an impression of similar legal provisions. Private property in southern Africa is sacred and inviolable. It is mainly reflected in these aspects.
In southern Africa, if you illegally invade other people's private property, regardless of whether it threatens the owner's safety, the owner has the right to shoot the illegal intruder directly.
The same law applies to the guy who walks in the wrong door.
"Yes!" Zhu Jun was in high spirits, and the tendency of Rock's words was obvious.
"Then there is nothing to hesitate. Whoever is responsible is the one who is responsible. The task of the law enforcer is not to make peace with others, but to uphold justice." Rock made it simple and clear. What Rock hates most in his life is dealing with Mr. Unless it is obvious that both parties are at fault, any harmonious behavior is unfair to the victim.
Later, Zhu Jun and the local officials of Zhenghe Island held a simple welcome dinner for Roque.
Luo Ke went happily and spent a pleasant night with the local officials of Zhenghe Island.
After the dinner, Rock suddenly wanted to go out for a walk and see what the real Zhenghe Island was like.
"Don't do it, Locke. You often say that a gentleman does not stand behind dangerous walls. Why are you making the same mistake now?" Sidney Milner tried his best to dissuade him. The private interview incognito was just a joke. If something happened to Locke, , many people will be unlucky.
Sidney Milner is equally responsible.
"There is a way -" Rock really didn't want to take any chances and raised his hand to call Louis over.
After Derek Dodd died, Rock transferred Louis to work beside him as his personal secretary.
Let’s not talk about Louis’ ability. There is absolutely no problem with his loyalty. He is quick-thinking and full of energy, and he gained Rock’s trust in a short period of time.
Even Sidney Milner didn't know that Louis was an expert at applying makeup. A thick beard immediately transformed Roark into a different person.
This time it was much simpler. Sidney Milner was also very interested in his new look. Like Roque, he put on a jacket and casual pants, like two social animals who had just got off work.
"It feels like a different person, a whole new experience -" Sidney Milner was amazed, looking at himself in the mirror and sighing, and then he saw Rock wearing a pistol: "No, Rock,
You don’t even show your face to the security personnel?”
Sidney Milner really didn't expect Roark to play so big.
"Bring them, but they have to keep a distance from us -" Rock is really not arrogant. Carrying a gun is purely a personal habit. Even when he was the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Rock was also used to carrying a gun with him.
"Okay, I'll forget it, I've never used this thing before." Sidney Milner was a little relieved, but he didn't force himself because of Rock.
Compared with Rock, Sidney Milner is truly lucky. This guy used to follow Ade and now follows Rock. He has always been well protected and there is really no need to wear weapons.
Walking out of the hotel door, the night on Zhenghe Island is beautiful and charming. Street lights are installed on the road in front of the hotel. Not far away is the brightly lit pier night market. You can hear the sound of waves lapping on the beach, and there is also a faint melodious sound.
The sound of the violin came, mixed with the childish and joyful laughter of the children, and the smoke of fireworks almost hit our faces.
"It's great. If I stay here for a while, I think I will definitely fall in love with it -" Sidney Milner sincerely praised. Being able to see people living and working in peace and contentment is a great tribute to Rock and Sidney Milner.
Accept their greatest compliment.
"Let's go, let's go and feel how good this place is -" Rock turned up the collar of his jacket, touched his beard that he was still not used to, and walked towards the bustling pier.
Sidney Milner followed closely, and then a large group of guards wearing various clothes swarmed out. They wanted to go to the dock in advance to set up defenses and eliminate all potential dangers.
The pier is indeed very lively. Although it is night, it seems to be even more lively than during the day. It is supper time now, and there are especially many people selling various snacks. There are many people enjoying the shade on the chairs next to the pier, including girls in beautiful skirts.
While on a date with an energetic young man, two uniformed policemen walked by not far from Rock, and one of them smiled at Rock in a friendly manner.
Luo Ke was immediately in a good mood and was very interested in the candied haws sold by an old man next to the pier.
The candied haws are placed in a clean glass cabinet. The glass cabinet is crystal clear under the light, and the golden syrup exudes an attractive brilliance. Oranges and walnuts are interspersed between the hawthorns, and the surrounding glass cabinet is filled with the fragrance of fruit and syrup.
Rock asked for a bunch of whole hawthorns, and then asked Sidney Milner to pay.
Sidney Milner's eyes were as big as hawthorns. Like Rock, he also went shopping without money.
