The Johannesburg Police Department once again created a miracle. In this era without video data and the Internet, it is understandable how difficult it is to find three Italians in a huge crowd. It is possible that only the Johannesburg Police Department in the world has this ability.<
/p>
"Yes, of course there is a certain amount of luck in this, but luck is also a part of strength. Fortunately, we finally did it. The three Italians were planning to take last night's passenger ship to leave Cape Town and return to Italy. Before they left, they thought
They went to the bar for a drink and happened to meet the police officer who was looking for them. After being captured and taken back to the police station, they confessed last night that they had indeed murdered William Temple and that they had accepted a job from a Frenchman a month ago.
, the Frenchman claims to be 'Colliver Reed', but we suspect that this name is fake, and even his nationality may be fake. If we want to continue the investigation, then we need to go to Europe, and also
There is no guarantee that there will be a result." After Roque got the telegram, he reported to Philip immediately. Although the result was not so perfect, Roque had done his best.
"It is enough to investigate to this point. If anyone is still dissatisfied, let him investigate." Philip will not ask for trouble. This is a transnational case. In this era, there are no extradition regulations, let alone Interpol.
To continue the investigation, the coordination between the United Kingdom and France alone would be exhausting.
Even in the 21st century, transnational cases are difficult to detect, let alone it is 1903. The investigation has progressed to this level, which is enough to explain to Ade.
"The Cape Town Police Department played a huge role in the investigation of this case. I have sent a telegram to the Cape Town Police Department to inform the direct investigators of the case of rewards. In the future, we need to strengthen cooperation with the Cape Town Police Department.
This will make our work more convenient." Of course, Luo Ke has not forgotten Luo Yi and the others, and there are rewards for reporting commendations. Luo Ke cannot give Luo Yi and the others promotions, so he can only give them to Luo Yi in this way.
1They compensate.
"Okay, you can figure it out. Come with me to Pretoria later. You want the Governor to report in person." Philip also wanted to make a big splash at this time. When William Temple was just killed, rumors spread, and the city of Johannesburg
The government has also been affected, and now it can finally prove the innocence of the city government and the police department. Philip will not miss this opportunity.
"Yes -" Roque really doesn't want to go to Pretoria, but he has no choice now.
An hour later, Roque and Philip got on the train to Pretoria.
The train left Johannesburg, and the farms along the way had entered the harvest season, and many people were busy in the fields.
Chinese farmers have a completely different attitude towards land than white farmers. There is basically no free land on the farms of Chinese farmers. Chinese farmers who are budget-conscious will use every bit of land, including the land in front of and behind the house.
I won’t let anything go, I’ll plant something even if I take advantage of every opportunity.
White farmers are different. White people have a clearer understanding of the use of land. Farmland is farmland and pasture is pasture. It is not necessary to replace all the trees next to the house with fruit trees. Part of the grassland must also be retained. Therefore, it seems that white farmers’ farms are more
A bit more original.
In the short term, there is no difference between the two. On the contrary, Chinese farmers are ridiculed by white farmers because they seem busier than white farmers, have no time to rest, and do not know how to enjoy life.
But after three or five years, the difference between the two will slowly begin to appear. Under the premise of the same area, due to the different efficiency of land use, the income of Chinese farmers will be higher and their living standards will be higher.
, I don’t know if the white farmers will regret it by then.
"Potatoes are indeed a good thing. One-tenth of an acre of potatoes is enough for a family to eat for a whole year. However, almost all Chinese farmers grow two to three acres of potatoes. It doesn't matter if you can't eat them all. They can be used for
Feeding livestock and poultry, and livestock and poultry will provide more non-staple food, which will further reduce people's consumption of potatoes. This is a virtuous circle. In a year or two at most, the farm will be on the right track, and by then the agricultural products will provide
Another pillar industry of Johannesburg." Rock is still very proud. Who would have thought a few years ago that Johannesburg, which is famous for its gold, would have such great potential in agriculture.
Of course, it mainly has to do with people. If most of the farmers in Johannesburg were Boers or British, then the farms would still be in a state of survival. Although the farmers would not die of hunger, they would not want to get rich.
The current situation is that Chinese farmers have turned each farm into a "gold mine", which is indeed very gratifying.
Philip didn't say anything, but his expression was obviously proud. Johannesburg was developing better and better, and Philip played an important role as the official in charge.
In someone's words, whether an official is qualified or not depends entirely on the support of his peers.
When the Boer War just ended, the situation in the Transvaal and Orange was similar. Even because the Transvaal was the main theater of war, it suffered greater damage and impact.
Now looking at the Transvaal and Orange, the reconstruction work in Johannesburg is the best. Although this is related to the gold mine in Johannesburg, I am afraid no one has thought that farms that have nothing to do with the gold mine can develop.
So good.
Especially compared to those idiots in Orange.
After the plague ended, Orange finally began to rebuild. Now Johannesburg has the ability to provide Orange with some of the materials needed for reconstruction. Orange can also learn from Johannesburg's successful experience. Compared with Johannesburg's original reconstruction, Orange
It is actually easier to rebuild the governance.
However, it seems that the reconstruction of Orange does not seem to show special vitality. It is estimated that the reconstruction of Orange may not be completed within two years, and Johannesburg will definitely be a different scene by then. "Did you help with the canned goods in Rhodesia?" Philip finally remembered this question. They all said that good things don't go to outsiders, and Roque was suspected of picking up the inside and outside.
"A little bit, I just mentioned it once when I was chatting with Cecil. I didn't expect Cecil to be so grand -" Rock was still a little embarrassed. Compared with Rhodesia, Johannesburg has more potential to develop non-staple food processing. To be fair, Rhodesia's main industry is agriculture, but at present, Johannesburg's potential in agriculture is no less than that of Rhodesia.
This is thanks to the 100,000 Chinese people in Johannesburg. When Ade agreed to Roque's introduction of Chinese workers, he certainly did not expect the current situation.
It is not without hidden dangers. When the democratic representative system is implemented, one hundred thousand Chinese will be enough to influence the political situation in Johannesburg and even the entire Transvaal. From this perspective, Roque has indeed fulfilled his original promise.
But if Rock has always maintained the same position as the British, it will be okay. If Rock and the British government are at odds with each other, then once the democratic representative system is implemented in the Transvaal, it will be the end of the British.
Of course, Phillip will never take the initiative to bring up this issue, and even Ade will not say it. From the standpoint of Phillip and Ade, as long as Roque is given enough benefits, then Roque will not have the benefit of changing the family at all. At present,
For the Transvaal, even if the Boers came to power, would they treat Rock and the Chinese better than Adelaide and Philip?
Not necessarily.
Even if Rock himself were in power, the prospects of the Transvaal would be cast a shadow.
When he got off the train, Henry was already waiting to be picked up on the platform. Rock sent a telegram to Henry before setting off.
After getting on the carriage, Henry couldn't wait to ask: "Tell me quickly, how did you do it?"
Henry was really curious and asked himself, if such a case happened in Pretoria, then Henry seemed to be helpless, even if he knew that the three Italians fled to Cape Town——
No, if it happened in Pretoria, then most likely Pretoria would not notice the three Italians at all.
"Don't you have a car? Why do you still need a carriage?" Rock didn't talk about the case. When Henry got married, Xiaosi gave Henry the only car in southern Africa as a wedding gift, but Henry didn't seem to care about cars.
No cold, Rock hasn’t seen Henry take a car a few times in such a long time.
"If you don't want to sit in it, just give me the car. I'll ask Bobby Holt to dismantle the car and study it. Maybe we can produce our own cars in the future -" Rock is not joking, the car is complicated
The extent is now similar to that of motorcycles. Bobby Holt’s handicraft workshop has now been turned into a factory and will soon mass-produce motorcycles. Nyasaland will also mass-produce tractors. It seems that cars will be produced in Pretoria.
It's normal.
"If you want, just drive away. Taking a car is not as comfortable as riding a carriage. It's not fast, and something may go wrong at any time. I don't dare to take a car on the street. It would be too embarrassing if I were thrown on the road." Henry said angrily.
, it sounds like this has happened to me before.
"Okay, I'll have someone come over and take the car away later." Rock is welcome. It's just a car. It really doesn't have much value. The horse Rock gave to Henry when he got married can be bought for ten dollars.
A car given to Henry by Stoudemire.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be measured by value. Friendship is priceless. Neither Stoudemire nor Henry is short of money. It doesn’t matter what they give when they get married.
By the way, Rock and Phyllis are also getting married. Last time, Rock postponed the wedding to June because of the conflict between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.
