Unknowingly, Southern Africa seems to have become the nursing home of the British Empire. With the arrival of Kitchener and Winston, more and more British people choose to travel to Southern Africa for vacation. Many of them come to
After visiting Southern Africa, I fell in love with it and then chose to settle in Southern Africa.
At the Los Angeles train station, Montgomery from Ronnie Travel Agency is waiting for a pair of tourists from London.
Ronnie is not a personal name, but refers to Rhodesia and Nyasaland. This is the largest travel agency in Rhodesia and Nyasaland. It is said that it has an official background and has great eyes and hands.
In fact, it is all based on rumors. Rock and the Nyasaland state government will not take a fancy to this kind of small business. Ronny Travel Agency was founded by a retired official in Salisbury. The shareholders do include Rand Bank, but Rand Bank
Deutsche Bank does not interfere with the operation of Ronny Travel Agency and does not provide protection for Ronny Travel Agency.
Rand Bank invests in many companies. If we provide protection for all companies, Rand Bank will be exhausted.
At 11:30 noon, the direct train from Whale Bay to Los Angeles pulled into the station. Montgomery immediately raised the sign in his hand. The capital "l·n" on the sign was very conspicuous.
"Hello -" Alex, dressed in a suit and ties, took the initiative to greet Montgomery.
"Hello, are you Mr. Alex from London?" Montgomery said politely.
"Yes, it's me."
"Welcome to Nyasaland. I hope Nyasaland can leave a good memory for you and your wife. I am Montgomery from Ronnie Travel Agency. I will provide you with dedicated service in the next few days." Montgomery took the initiative.
He took the suitcase from Alex and took Alex and his wife to the parking lot.
Ronnie Travel Agency not only provides a tour guide for Alex and his wife, but also provides a car with a driver. Of course, these services are not free. The cost of the driver, car, and tour guide for a day is 20 rand, and it also costs 20 rand.
Does not include room and board expenses.
"The latest Lord sedan, with an inline four-cylinder engine, has an unparalleled 65 horsepower and a top speed of 120 kilometers. It is perfect. It is the pinnacle of technology in the industrial era." Alex is a car enthusiast and knows the data of the Lord sedan very well.
This kind of car is currently only sold in Nyasaland in the world, and Ronny Travel Agency has the only one.
"Yes, Mr. Alex, you are really an expert. Few people know the Lord's car so well." Montgomery put Alex and his wife into the back seat first, and then got into the passenger seat.
Some British habits are quite good. Just when Montgomery helped Alex carry his suitcase from the exit to the parking lot, Alex casually tipped him a pound.
It's so easy to make money.
As the car drove out of the parking lot, its wide body was extremely smooth and the engine made very little noise, which did not affect the soft conversations of the people inside the car.
Alex and his wife's attention was focused on the street view outside the car window. The unique tropical landscape plants on both sides of the streets in Los Angeles dazzled Alex and his wife. The spacious and clean streets were familiar to everyone who came to Los Angeles for the first time.
Impressive, and Alex and his wife are no exception.
What makes Alex feel more cordial is that mounted police can be seen on many streets in Los Angeles. Some of them ride blue and white police motorcycles, while others ride traditional tall horses.
Especially those heroic female mounted police officers, they are the most beautiful scenery on the streets of Los Angeles.
Although more and more women are working outside the home in the UK, there are very few women in violent professions such as the police.
It's different in Los Angeles. Many female mounted policemen have very professional postures on their horses, and it's clear from the first glance that they are not pretending.
"If our women in Los Angeles are interested in the military, they can also receive military training on a regular basis. Not only the police, there are more and more women in the military. However, they will not serve on the front line. Most of them are civilian personnel or
Working in the hospital." Montgomery noticed the attention of Alex and his wife, especially Mrs. Alex, whose eyes lit up when she looked at a policewoman on the street who was checking a car.
The policewoman wears a white steel helmet with a police badge inlaid on the front. On the side of the helmet is a dark blue Marquis of Nyasaland shield badge. The policewoman wears cool-looking sunglasses on her face and wears an autumn and winter suit.
Wearing a standard police uniform, the outer belt around the waist is filled with various tools. The iron-gray handcuffs and silver-white gun handle are extremely conspicuous.
Oh oh oh, don’t forget the long leather boots that go down to just below the knees. The guy who designed this women’s police uniform must be a master. Alex swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
"My dear, the status of women in Nyasaland must be very high. Look at the driver - it's absolutely ridiculous." Mrs. Alex's focus was different from Alex's.
The driver who was being interrogated probably violated some regulations. He was clasping his hands and begging with a grimace, hoping that the policewoman would let him go.
The policewoman was as cold as ice. She slapped a ticket directly into the driver's hand, turned around and left.
"Of course, all of this is what our Nyasaland ladies have fought hard for women. Our Nyasaland may be the first region in the world to achieve equal pay for women and men for equal work. Women can do the same job as men.
You can't get the same pay elsewhere." Montgomery looked proud. There are also women's rights activists in the UK who have been fighting for equal pay for equal work for many years, but have not achieved it so far.
Even in France, which has the strongest awareness of women's rights, equal pay for equal work cannot be achieved. For the same job, men are often paid higher than women. Women's rights in France are not the pastoral women's rights popular on the Internet in the 21st century. People really demand fair rights.
, rather than female privilege in the name of fairness.
“This is more obvious in our schools. In schools in Nyasaland, the proportion of women is higher than that of men, because many boys will leave school to work when they reach a certain age, and if women do not have a good academic qualification, they want to find a job.
It is not easy to get a good job. My two younger sisters are studying at Nyasaland University and Rhodes University respectively, and my poor brother's grades are not good enough. If he starts working early like me, he will definitely regret it in the future.
." Montgomery's words surprised the Alex couple. In Nyasaland, a social consensus has been formed to value education. As long as there are conditions, children will be sent to school instead of going to work in factories or on farms early.
help.
This is also a stark contrast. There are still child laborers in many sweatshops in the UK.
In Nyasaland, if a factory dares to employ child labor, it will be severely punished by the Nyasaland state government.
Work-study programs are not included in this scope, but students who hire work-study programs must also register with the competent authorities and accept supervision by the competent authorities.
"The University of Nyasaland doesn't seem to have a long history -" Alex had an impression of the dispute between Nyasaland University and the British Education Council more than ten years ago. At that time, this matter was well known to everyone, and the result was that the British
The Education Commission threw in the towel and gave Nyasaland University the same status as domestic universities in the UK.
"It is true that it does not have many years of history, and our history in Nyasaland is not long, and Nyasaland has been the fiefdom of our Lord for only a few years, but this just shows that the University of Nyasaland is making rapid progress.
The Times said some time ago that graduates from Nyasaland University are as popular in London as Cambridge graduates. Many Americans also study at Nyasaland University, and they have to pay high tuition fees every year.
And I can’t get a scholarship. The University of Nyasaland uses these high tuition fees as scholarship subsidies to other students. My sister got fifty rand last year.” Montgomery mentioned his sister and was beaming. Fifty rand is not a small number for students.
, the annual salary of many people in the UK is less than fifty rand.
"So what's your per capita income?" Alex was very interested in Nyasaland's per capita income.
"It depends on the profession. If you are a Rand Bank executive or a professor at Nyasaland University, it is normal for them to earn tens of thousands of rands a year. Ordinary people like me only earn about a hundred rands a year.
Xiao, how much is your annual salary?" Montgomery asked the driver casually. If this is a stranger, it would be very impolite to ask about his income. Montgomery and Xiao are friends and will not care about this.
"It's about the same as you. Your sister will definitely earn more than the two of us after graduation." Xiao is white and has not received higher education, but he is still very envious of Montgomery's sister.
"That's for sure. My sister has been invited by the Los Angeles City Government. She will go to the Los Angeles City Government to find an internship job every summer for two consecutive years." Montgomery looked proud. It is indeed a blessing to have such a sister.
Something to be proud of.
The car sped all the way to the Rhodesia Hotel. This was the advantage of planning the itinerary through a travel agency. The travel agency booked the hotel room in advance and solved most of Alex and his wife's worries.
After arriving at the hotel room, Alex and his wife took a short rest and prepared to go shopping at the Iteno store on the first floor of the hotel. Mrs. Alex had long heard that the local Iteno in Nyasaland not only had a complete range of products,
Moreover, you can enjoy higher discounts, and new styles of the season will be launched in Nyasaland first.
Alex also had needs. He first wanted to buy a set of casual clothes common in Nyasaland to change out of the suit he was wearing. Although the handmade custom-made suit was expensive, the casual clothes commonly seen on the streets of Los Angeles were obviously more comfortable.
.
I took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. When I got out of the elevator, a man rushed into the elevator and hit Alex hard.
Before Alex could react, the brainless daredevil was knocked down by several people and pinned down.
Only then did Alex notice that the wallet in Daredevil's hand seemed familiar.
