In Phyllis' words, Rock performed extremely well at that time.
When Roark walked toward the gun, Phyllis almost fainted, her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.
When Rock took the gun away and smashed the bullets into Harry Alsop's face one by one, Phyllis felt alive again. If something happened to Rock, Phyllis really wouldn't
Know what you should do.
Harry Alsop was quickly taken away by the guards, and what awaited him would be brutal revenge from the London Police Department.
Think about Harry Alsop's doubts about the London Police Department some time ago. Now that it is in the hands of the London Police Department, the Police Department will definitely not let Harry Alsop off easily.
"It's great Locke, you are so calm and calm in the face of danger." Victor Foster praised Locke highly.
"This kind of pistol is manufactured by the Nyasaland Arsenal. When the safety is in the closed position, it cannot fire even if the trigger is pulled. This is designed to prevent the gun from misfiring. Unexpectedly, it saved my life now." Rock said.
Ruger P03 was handed to Victor Foster. It is estimated that Victor Foster has never seen such an advanced weapon.
It seems that the British have always used revolvers, until the Second World War.
Victor Foster's focus is obviously different from Rock: "Is there an arsenal in Nyasaland?"
It seems that I let it slip, but it doesn't matter. This is not a secret to the British government. If the War Office does not even have this ability, it can almost be disbanded.
So Rock said calmly: "In order to produce Martini Henry rifles, Mr. Cecil Jr. purchased some machines from the Royal Small Arms Factory."
"The Martini Henry is indeed a good gun." Victor Foster immediately forgot about it. Since it was a machine purchased from the Royal Small Arms Factory, there should be no problem.
The day after the banquet, Roark and Phyllis left London on the "Princess Eleni" cruise ship and returned to the Transvaal.
The "Princess Eleni" cruise ship is affiliated to Cape Viking Line. It is a mixed passenger and cargo ship. Rock and his party bought almost half of the cabins and returned to the Transvaal with Rock.
In addition to Rock's bodyguard, it also includes various talents that Christian collected in London during this period.
Rock still attaches great importance to talents, mainly in engineering. Engineers, designers, university teachers, and even college graduates who have just stepped out of school. As long as they are willing to go to the Transvaal, Rock will give them satisfactory solutions.
salary.
The one with the biggest background is Andrew Harrold, dean of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Glasgow, who should be the former dean now. Andrew Harrold failed to run for the chancellor and resigned in anger.
Rock promised Andrew Harold to build a comprehensive university in Nyasaland that is no less than the University of Glasgow, and then persuaded Andrew Harold to go to Nyasaland.
The days on the ship were actually very boring, and Rock could just use this time to discuss the subject settings of Nyasaland University with Andrew Harold.
"The Department of Civil Engineering is indispensable. The University of Glasgow has the earliest civil engineering and shipbuilding departments in the UK, and it is also the best now. I brought several people with me, all of whom are senior faculty in the civil engineering department. Each of them can
When it comes to being a professor, it’s a pity that there are too few positions for professors, so they don’t recognize their talents.” Andrew Harold has his own demands and dares to run for president. Andrew Harold must also have his own direct descendants. Now Andrew Harold brings his own
His direct descendants left, and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Glasgow suffered heavy losses.
"Civil works are indeed necessary. Reconstruction in the Transvaal and Orange is not yet complete. Both Nyasaland and Rhodesia are developing rapidly. There is a strong need in this area. I am in Malong in Nyasaland."
A campus has been built by Lake Bei, and some professors have even started working. When you arrive in Nyasaland, you can start working immediately." Rock had started preparations a long time ago, and now it is finally time to bear fruit.
"Some professors!" Andrew Harold was simply shocked. There are still very few professors these days.
Under the Anglo-Australian and New Zealand system, there is usually only one full professor in each field. No matter how outstanding their contributions and senior qualifications are, others can only become associate professors at most. Senior lecturer is the highest professional title for most university teachers.
For example, at the University of Glasgow, the Department of Civil Engineering has only one full professor, Andrew Harold, with a varying number of associate professors supporting the entire Department of Civil Engineering.
In terms of professional titles, Rock prefers the tenured professorship system, which was born in Germany and has been carried forward in the United States and Canada. The purpose of the professorship tenure system is to ensure that the professor's academic research will not be constrained and troubled by politics, business and funding sources. The United States
In universities, new teachers have a 6 to 7-year evaluation period to examine the teachers' academic standards and professional ethics. Then the school decides whether to grant tenure-track professors based on their academic qualifications.
Nyasaland University will definitely implement a tenured professor system in the future. For example, Andrew Harold, Abu, and even Douglas, who has turned to administration, are expected to become tenured professors at Nyasaland University in the future. This is an affirmation of their abilities.
, it is also an honorary title.
Of course, a generous annual salary is also essential as a reward for their contribution.
"Sounds very good." Andrew Harold did not object to Rock's arrangement. British universities are so strict in this regard that they are almost cruel. Many senior lecturers clearly have the qualifications and level to teach alone, but because of restrictions
Due to the system, it is unfair to them that they will never be able to become professors in their lifetime.
"Don't worry about funding. Professor Abu's research results last year only took half a year to earn 250,000 pounds this year. The University of Glasgow's annual funding is not that much." Rock was very proud. The Russo-Japanese War has now ended.
Towards the end, Imperial Japan and Imperial Russia were negotiating at Portsmouth, England, mediated by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt.
The war caused huge losses to both the Japanese Empire and the Russian Empire. Both countries have been exhausted by the war. Even the United Kingdom is unwilling to lend more to both parties for fear that the two countries will not be able to repay them in the future.
Russia lost all its rights in the Far East during the war, and Japan did not win. They gained privileges, but they did not receive the final compensation like the war between the Qing empire. As a result, they were saddled with heavy foreign debts and had to spend at least a minimum amount of money.
It took ten years to pay it off.
Or maybe it won't be repaid in ten years, if Japan can't turn around with the help of World War I.
The British government was the ultimate winner. Through the Russo-Japanese War, it completely achieved its goal, which was to curb Russia's expansion in the Far East and suppress Japan's rise, becoming the largest creditor of both Japan and Russia.
The Rand Bank was also a winner. Like the British government, the Rand Bank hedged its bets and was now a joint creditor of both the Japanese Empire and the Russian Empire.
Rock also got what he wanted. During the entire Russo-Japanese War, the Transvaal and Nyasaland dumped nearly one million pounds of goods to both warring parties. The Nyasaland Arsenal took the opportunity to complete hardware upgrades, and even Martini
·The production lines of Henry rifles were all sold to the Japanese at a much higher price than when they were purchased, and about the same price as a brand new production line.
Abu and the medical school also made huge gains. Through the sale of drugs, Abu himself received almost 20,000 pounds in dividends. During the war, the medical school sent a medical team to the Far East, and nearly forty teachers and students went to the Far East.
On the front line, I really participated in the war and gained a lot of valuable first-hand information.
After Dean Colin Bellamy, who led the team, returned to Ziwei Town, he began to write a book on battlefield first aid and prepared to open a course on battlefield first aid in the medical school.
This subject may become the biggest feature of medical schools in the future.
In addition to the above benefits, even greater benefits come from the farms around Johannesburg.
Through the Russo-Japanese War, farmers around Johannesburg also made a lot of money. According to Rand Bank data, nearly half of the farmers have paid off their loans. The Transvaal Agricultural Association is contacting the Nyasaland Tractor Factory.
, I hope to order tractors from Nyasaland Tractor Factory at a preferential price.
Rhodesian canned products became the most popular product in the Far East. To quote Stoudemire's words in the telegram: Even if you put potatoes in cans and send them to the Far East, they would become a hot commodity.
Sure enough, when the cannon was fired, there were thousands of taels of gold.
"250,000 pounds!" Andrew Harold was simply shocked. 250,000 pounds is not a small amount. The total income of the University of Glasgow for one year is just this amount.
The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 and has a history of 450 years now. How long ago was Nyasaland Medical College established?
Andrew Harold didn't even have the slightest impression of Professor Abu, as he had never heard of this name before.
Suddenly, Andrew Harold was full of yearning for Nyasaland, where many secrets were hidden.
While Rock and Andrew Harold were chatting animatedly, Phyllis took Gavin to sit at the table next to her and eat fruit.
Mainly because Phyllis was eating it, Gavin enthusiastically expressed that he wanted to try it, but his unscrupulous mother refused to give it to her, making Gavin so angry that he burst into tears.
Then an eccentric child ran over and handed the apple to Gavin to eat, and carefully broke it into pieces for Gavin.
Phyllis's affection greatly increased. She touched the little guy's black hair and asked kindly: "What a little angel. Where is your mother?"
Gavin smiled and said nothing, and Rock was frightened.
The little guy is Arthur, and this is the first time he and Gavin have met.
