The results of Henry's investigation have not yet come out, but the results of London's handling have come out.
On December 10, London bypassed Ade and directly issued an appointment notice to the Johannesburg city government, removing Rock from his position as police chief, and temporarily replacing him with Harry Spencer, the chief of Johannesburg police.
Harry Spencer immediately approached Roark to express his attitude: "Director, I don't know why this is happening, but I will not accept this appointment. I am very comfortable in the position of deputy director and have no dissatisfaction."
When this result occurs, many people will probably think that Harry Spencer caused this turmoil.
In fact, this is useless. The current situation of the Johannesburg Police Department is that as long as Roque does not agree, no one can stay in the position of police chief. The Johannesburg Police Department was established by Roque. The entire police department is owned by Roque.
Without Roque's consent, even Philip would not be able to have much influence on the police department.
If you look at it this way, the Daily Mirror is not wrong when it accuses Johannesburg of a powerful and evil dark force.
"It's okay Harry, just think that I'm on vacation. To be honest, it's been such a long time and I should take a break." Rock was not in a hurry. London's appointment was not legal. Under normal circumstances, London would not interfere with Germany at all.
London has now bypassed the Government House and directly interfered with the appointment of personnel in Johannesburg. This is a great offense to Adelaide. It is not known which lunatic made this decision. The Natal government resigned en masse some time ago.
, isn’t the lesson profound enough?
The problem is that there are many self-righteous bastards in the current British government who do not understand the situation in the overseas territories at all. They sit in the office and point fingers at the overseas territories, grossly interfere in the internal affairs of the overseas territories, and sometimes even issue some completely contradictory orders.
order, which is deeply resented by all overseas territories.
The autonomy of Canada and Australia has a lot to do with those self-righteous officials.
Rock's desire to take a break is not a perfunctory one. Ever since Rock came to this world, Rock has been working hard to climb up every day. He has been busy fighting for the interests of the Chinese every day, busy fighting with all kinds of bulls, snakes, ghosts and gods.
Roque also really wanted to take a break. As long as the interests of the Transvaal Chinese could be guaranteed, Roque could even give up the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division.
In that case, Rock can return to Nyasaland and concentrate on building his own base camp.
"Chief, I'm not being polite. Apart from you, I really don't know who else can convince everyone in the current Johannesburg Police Department." Harry Spencer was very worried. He was an officer who parachuted into the Johannesburg Police Department.
There is no foundation here. All the inspectors and sergeants under the police station were single-handedly promoted by Roque. If Roque left his hand, the police station would be paralyzed now.
This is not an exaggeration. Police work is very special. This profession requires great dedication and enthusiasm. If Harry Spencer, the chief, is not justified, then the police officers below have many ways to find Harry Spencer.
Trouble, such as deliberately being a few minutes late when dispatching the police, or being ineffective when solving a case, or even turning a blind eye to the matters in charge when patrolling. In short, without Roque's consent, Harry Spencer would even
I can't stay at the Johannesburg Police Station.
Local snake, no joke.
"Don't worry, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow." Rock didn't want to get too entangled on this issue. The more similar appointments in London, the better. It's still unclear how Ade will fight back. If officials from the Transvaal
It would be nice to follow the example of officials in Natal and resign en masse.
Looking back, Roque went to find Phillip and listen to Phillip's opinion on this matter.
"It is impossible to resign. The Transvaal is different from Natal. Officials in Natal can threaten London with resignation. It is inappropriate to do so in the Transvaal. After all, many officials in the Transvaal have knighthoods.
"Although Philip's consciousness is high, the expression on his face is also very ugly.
As aristocrats of the British Empire, they must be consistent with the British Empire at all times, so forget about collective resignation. However, this does not mean that Transvaal officials have no choice but to accept London's rude interference.
.
"It doesn't matter if you are not the chief of police. You are now the commander of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division and also the chief of police. You have too much power. At this time, you need to keep a low profile. You should give Harry Spencer your support."
"Here, wait a minute and see what Pretoria has to say." Philip can see clearly that this incident will have a greater impact on Ade than on Roque, and now it depends on how Ade will fight back.
"Of course, I will definitely support Harry Spencer's work. I want to go to Nyasaland with Phyllis in a few days, so that I can have some rest." Roark also thought liberally. If he had the ability, London would send Roark to him.
Ke's fiefdom was also taken away.
Don't be ridiculous, Rock's fief was given by the king. If the British government dared to take back Rock's fief, all the British nobles would probably rebel.
"It's good to go to Nyasaland." Philip smiled, with a look of understanding on his face.
Returning to the station of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, Rock also wanted to appease the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division also learned about Roque's appointment in London. Unlike the city police department, the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division were filled with indignation. Geng Biao even clamored to return to Nyasaland, and
The British government breaks up.
"Don't say that again in the future. I know you are not satisfied with your company, but you have to pay for the arrangements of the division headquarters. If you don't want to lead H company, do others want to? The problem is that someone has to do the work. Don't worry about London.
Is the appointment fair? Unfairness is a part of life. Next, you should train hard and strive to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. To say the least, at the very least, London cannot get a handle on it. Don’t give it to me.
Looking for trouble." Luo Ke sternly criticized Geng Biao's irresponsible behavior.
Geng Biao was dejected, but still did not dare to disobey Luo Ke's order.
Li Fei and the others are much calmer. As long as Roque is not greatly affected, Li Fei and the others really don't care about the position of police chief.
"Sir, is it the London side?" Suo Chao was also a little uneasy. This appointment in London will have an impact on all Chinese in the Transvaal. Rock is the backbone of the Chinese in the Transvaal. If something goes wrong here, Rock
, then the fate of the Transvaal Chinese is really hard to say.
"Don't worry, as long as the new First Cavalry Division is still in our hands, nothing will change." Roque still had confidence. Some things really cannot be changed with just one appointment.
On December 15th, Rock and Phyllis took a train to Nyasaland.
On the same day, Rudolf Diesel completed improvements to the truck.
The improved truck fully considered the opinions of Rock and the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division. All the steel plates on the body were removed and replaced with iron-wrapped wood.
These woods are also very strong and easy to replace. The key is to reduce the weight and further reduce the cost.
At the same time, in order to increase the load capacity, the rear wheels of the truck were increased from two to four, shock-absorbing steel plates were used on the bottom of the truck, and the steel plates on the cab and engine room were replaced with iron sheets. After the improvement, the load capacity of the truck was increased to two
tons, the highway speed when fully loaded is 45 kilometers per hour, which basically meets Roque's requirements.
For Rock, the more powerful the truck, the better.
But it is 1903, so the requirements for trucks cannot be too high. The key is to build the truck first. This will already be ahead of all other vehicle manufacturers. With the advancement of technology, the performance of trucks will definitely continue to improve.
Over time, the advantages of Nyasaland trucks will become greater and greater.
Originally, according to Rock's plan, when the truck was successfully developed, the new 1st Cavalry Division would be ordered in bulk, so that the new 1st Cavalry Division would become the world's first motorized force.
There is no need to worry now. Since Roark has returned to Nyasaland, it is better to equip the Northern Rhodesian Division first and then organize the new First Cavalry Division later.
When the train passed Salisbury, Stoudemire got on the train and headed to Nyasaland with Rock.
"Haha, how does it feel to be driven back to Nyasaland?" Xiaosi looked joking when he saw Roque.
"It feels good. I finally have time to rest. I decided to seize the time and have a baby with Phyllis. Someone must inherit my title." Rock counterattacked easily. The title is Stoudemire's biggest weakness.
Xiao Si's face was really ugly. As long as Rock mentioned his title, Xiao Si was unable to fight back.
"Come on, let alone a baron, I will give you a count now and call you Rhodesia. Do you want to change it or not?" Rock asked Xiaosi to choose.
"Give me a duke and I won't change it!" Stoudemire was very decisive at this moment.
Rock smiled and said, it's over now. It doesn't matter whether you have a title or not. The key is profit. Rhodesia is now almost the same as Xiao Si's private property. Xiao Si envies other people's titles. I don't know how many nominal aristocrats there are in the UK.
I envy Stoudemire.
Of course, Rock will not envy Xiao Si. Nyasaland is not worse than Rhodesia at all. Rock has now built the railway between Port Edward and Little Rock, which means that now Port Edward
Already connected with Johannesburg, Roque doesn't need to envy anyone now, and he doesn't need too much. Give Roque three to five years, and he can build Nyasaland into a paradise on earth.
In fact, Nyasaland is already very good now. The world's current standards for paradise are still very low. As long as there is no war and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, it will be paradise.
