People like Rock, Henry, and Stoudemire have gone beyond the professional category in the secular concept. Each of them has many identities. The combination of these identities is the real reason for their huge influence on southern Africa.
There are many such monsters combining government and business in France itself. Xiafei doesn't know the situation in southern Africa, but he knows France very well.
"Minister Locke, we should share all resources." Joffre was dissatisfied with Locke's attitude, not just because of money.
"I'm really curious. It's been more than two months since the world war broke out. Hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers are struggling on the verge of death. In the past, there were insufficient medical resources. Now there are enough doctors, but not enough operating rooms. There are not enough operating rooms.
Ward, doesn’t the French government have money? If it can be exchanged for an experienced soldier with a small amount of money, I think it’s worth it.” Roque really looked down on the efficiency of the French government, so he almost didn’t criticize it directly.
"France is a democratic country. The private property of its citizens is sacred and inviolable. The land around Paris is expensive and the government is in financial difficulties. What's more, even if the government pays, there may not be anyone willing to sell it." Xiafei is also very helpless.
I want to save the lives of more experienced soldiers, but objective reality does not allow it.
Relatively speaking, the situation in Southern Africa is the same as that of France. However, the better thing about Southern Africa is that the federal government has a greater influence on the people. There is not much vacant land to be developed around Pretoria and Johannesburg.
, a lot of land belongs to powerful people like Rock and Xiaosi, but if the federal government needs it, Rock and Xiaosi will not sit back and raise the price. At most, they will strive for some other interests.
For example, if the Pretoria city government wants to build a hospital and needs to acquire the land under Stoudemire's name, Pretoria can cooperate with Stoudemire, and Stoudemire will pay to build the hospital. Pretoria
The city government sends managers and doctors to work in the hospital, and the profits are distributed by agreement between the two parties. The ownership and management rights are controlled by the Pretoria city government. This can not only guarantee the interests of the city government, but also the interests of Xiaosi.
"With all due respect, Marshal, these are all excuses. A strong government will not be disturbed by any factors. How can the eggs be destroyed when the nest is overturned? If Paris falls, will the Germans guarantee the sanctity of the private property of Parisians?"
Roque bluntly said that having selfish motives even when a disaster is approaching is a sign of the country's downfall.
"After all, we cannot be the same as the Germans." Xiafei also knows the problems of the French government, but the reality in France is this. If the interests of the powerful are violated, the Germans do not need to fight. The French will directly overthrow the current government.
This is the dead end of democracy and freedom, and there is no solution!
"So, you pay and I will coordinate." Luo Ke offered a solution. Whether he can accept it or not depends on Xiafei's determination.
Xiafei did not agree immediately, and the expression on his face was very complicated.
Roque was not in a hurry, and his eyes fell on a pen holder on Xiafei's desk. The familiar azure color was unforgettable. Next to it was a delicate and exquisite globe, and next to it was a reduced version of the French flag, and a typewriter.
.
The dignified commander-in-chief of the French army still types by himself?
amazing.
"After the field hospital is completed, it will be your French property, and it will save the lives of your French soldiers. What is there to hesitate about?" Roque doesn't have much time to waste on Jiafei. In fact, even if the French government doesn't pay,
Roque also has a way with money, and there are plenty of people willing to pay for it.
Medical resources are scarce in any era. There are only a few hospitals in Paris with imperfect facilities, and the medical level is not high enough. Higher-level doctors are all in private clinics, and private clinics are the high-end in European countries.
medical resources.
These private clinics are inaccessible to poor people.
If Roque goes to Leonard Capet now and tells Leonard Capet that he wants to build a hospital in Paris, then there is no need to find anyone else. Leonard Capet can do everything by himself.
Once everything is done, there is no need to emphasize how much money the hospital can make.
"Minister Locke, we have no budget now." Xiafei had no choice. He also knew that it was necessary to build hospitals, but without a budget, nothing could be done.
Rock stopped talking nonsense with Joffre and called Leonard Cappe when he returned to the headquarters. Soon Leonard Cappe appeared in front of Rock.
"Lord Nyasaland, welcome to France." Leonard Capet had an exaggerated expression and gave Roque a big hug. He didn't care whether Roque gave Ada a title or not.
"Leonard, you need to lose weight. Physical health is the foundation of everything." Rock is really worried about Leonard's health. It looks like Leonard is only about 1.6 meters tall, but his weight must be more than 100 kilograms.
Leonard Capet laughed heartily. He had imagined the scene of meeting Roque countless times. He did not expect that Roque's first words after meeting him would be so direct.
However, such direct Roque obviously made Leonard Capet more relaxed. Unlike Joffre, Leonard Capet was very aware of Roque's status in southern Africa. The business in Southern Africa was very important to the Capet family.
.
After the French Revolution, the title of the Capet family was cancelled, the family fell into decline, and even the ancestral castle was forced to be sold. The family was left destitute and helpless, so Ada married away to southern Africa.
Now with its business in southern Africa, the Capet family has re-emerged and become one of the most famous families in France. Therefore, Leonard Capet will unconditionally cooperate with any request of Roque. Leonard Capet and French dignitaries
The relationship was very good. When Roque first arrived in Paris, Leonard Capet also attended Roque's welcome dinner, but Leonard Capet did not get the opportunity to communicate with Roque.
"I am going to build a hospital in Paris to treat wounded soldiers," Roque said concisely.
"What do you need me to do?" Leonard Capet didn't ask how much money it would cost, nor what Roque's purpose was, nor even what difficulties there were. He met all Roque's requirements.
"Finding a suitable piece of land and building a hospital requires about half a million pounds." Roque's requirements are high. Five hundred thousand is not a small amount. One pound can be exchanged for 25 francs. Half a million pounds is 12.5 million francs. It is the best in Paris.
The Paris Grand Hotel has 800 rooms, 65 multi-functional halls, and cost only 21 million francs.
"Lord, this is your first investment in France. How about half a million? It needs at least one million to meet your status." Leonard Capet doubled the money directly. There is no need to ask about the money.
It must have been Leonard Capet himself.
If there are no accidents, after the hospital is built, it is estimated that the hospital will still be under Roque's name.
Looking at this big deal, Xiafei should really feel ashamed.
"After the hospital is completed, it will be called Roque Hospital. Everyone who receives treatment in the hospital will be full of gratitude to you. Your kindness and brilliance will always shine on the banks of the Seine." Leonard Capet's flattery continued, Roque
I'm embarrassed, if I keep saying it, Rock is God.
"Then just go ahead and do it. If it's one million, then build a few more." Roque was satisfied with Leonard Capet's attitude and didn't care to give him a few more pointers.
"Where to build it?" Leonard Capet fully cooperated, and Roque said it was whatever he said.
"Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon, Nantes, you can go anywhere. Education and medical care are not necessarily the most profitable, but they must be the most noble." Roque doesn't care how much money he makes now, not to mention that education and medical care are also very profitable.
"That's great. I've told Ada a long time ago that we can replicate the education and medical care in southern Africa in France, but it's a pity that we don't have enough resources." Leonard Capet also has a family background and is not the kind of person who is only interested in profit.
Nouveau riche, honor is very important to an ancient family like the Capet family.
Everyone knows the importance of education and medical care, but not everyone can do it. In order to provide education in the Transvaal, Rock sent people to search Europe to find experts and professors who were willing to immigrate to southern Africa. In order to develop medical care in southern Africa,
, Rock founded the Johannesburg School of Medicine long ago, two professions that require great patience and continued investment to see returns.
"Then work hard. I'm going to Flanders in a few days. I'll leave the hospital work to you." Roque still delegates power, but there must be necessary supervision. After all, the hospital serves the expeditionary force. Roque
Ke has always been very strict with its requirements for project quality.
Leonard Capet was still very efficient. That night, Leonard Capet found a suitable place on the outskirts of Paris. The location was by the forest beside the Seine River, very close to the Arc de Triomphe. He didn’t know that Leonard Capet
How much did De Capet spend.
No matter how much money is spent, it is worth it. The area that Leonard Capet found is about 120 acres, which is more than enough to build a hospital. The land around Paris is already very valuable, and its value will only increase in the future.
The more expensive.
While Roque was working hard to improve logistics, the battle in Flanders was underway. Working with the British Expeditionary Force was the newly established French Ninth Army, commanded by Ferdinand, who had made a splash after the outbreak of the world war.
Foch.
The British Expeditionary Force can receive fire cover from the British Navy in Flanders. The naval gunboats sail directly into the rivers of Flanders to provide close fire support to the British Expeditionary Force.
During a battle in Witzhardt, a German captain named Hoffman was injured. One of his soldiers dragged Captain Hoffman to a safe area, but failed to save Hoffman's life.
A few days later, the soldier received an Iron Cross Second Class from the German Emperor Wilhelm II. His name was Adolf Hitler.
