Not only Henry Alsop (sorry, there was a mistake at the end of the previous chapter, it has been corrected), Kevin Trevicorn is also suspected.
So next, Rock will investigate these two people. Rock has no shortage of manpower in this area. Whether it is Umbrella or Brad, they are both capable of investigating Henry Alsop and Kevin Trevicorn.
Carry out deployment and control.
"It's these two people. This Henry may be in London, and Kevin works in the Pretoria Mining Bureau. Find them and see if they have anything to do with this matter." Rock is really disgusted. If
It is really confirmed that Henry and Kevin are related to this matter, and Rock will definitely not let them go easily this time.
Rock doesn't care about the unspoken rules between nobles. If Henry and Kevin don't provoke Rock, Rock can pretend not to see them. If Henry and Kevin really want to die, then Rock
will allow them to get what they want.
"No problem, Lord, I'll arrange someone right away. Our service consulting company is now open for business. Even if there is a problem, no one will be affected." Xia Jiu's iron hook is now replaced by a manipulator made of high manganese steel.
, although it is still inconvenient, it is a huge improvement compared to the previous iron hook.
In Xia Jiu's words, robotic hands still have advantages compared with normal people's hands. At least they don't have to worry about cigarette butts burning their hands.
When it comes to service consulting companies, they are actually the legendary private detectives. The most famous people in this industry are Holmes and Watson. Of course, these two people are fictional. Although Holmes claims to be a criminal investigation consultant, in fact, Holmes is also a private detective. This
The industry is very popular in the UK, and many people are in demand for private investigators.
At this point, I have to complain about the British police agency. The British police basically serve the rich, which is the so-called "public relief". The average middle class will probably not receive the focus of the police.
So private detectives came into being. This is the so-called "private rescue".
The work content of the private detective industry is very complex, mainly focusing on property investigation and evidence collection, national information investigation, personnel whereabouts investigation, Internet fraud investigation, and marriage investigation.
Of course, Johannesburg also has this demand. Many times, wealthy people do not want the police department to intervene in household matters or disputes between wealthy people. At this time, there is room for private detectives to survive.
Rock still attaches great importance to private detectives. Although this will affect the reputation of the police station, private detectives are an effective complement to the work of the police station, so Rock simply instructed Xia Jiu to set up a service consulting company to undertake the private detective work.
business.
Roque also didn’t expect that he would use the service consulting company first.
"Very good, if possible, arrange people to be with Henry and Kevin. Even if they have nothing to do with this matter, I will know their every move in the future." Rock didn't care about it before, but now that he has
In time, Rock will eliminate all these hidden dangers.
"Okay, Lord, I will find a way." Xia Jiu is full of confidence. This is what he learned in the War Office, and now he is applying what he has learned.
In the evening, Rock and Phyllis went to Phillip's house for dinner together. At the dinner table, Phillip also expressed appropriate concern about this matter.
"Don't worry, I will handle it myself." Roque doesn't need Phillip's help. Roque and Henry are enough to deal with those young people.
"Don't be careless. The current situation is a bit complicated. The development of Johannesburg has exceeded many people's expectations. Some people are too impatient." Philip shook his head and sighed. What Rock said last time has come true again. The strife within the British government is too serious.
This has seriously affected the stability of the colony.
"Dad, do you know something?" Owen asked this question for Rock.
Karina and Phyllis both put down their knives and forks with concerned expressions on their faces.
"What else could it be? Some people think our life is too comfortable, so they want to cause some trouble for us -" Philip put down the napkin in his hand to show that he was full, and Phyllis immediately went to pour tea for Philip: "——
Thank you, baby, don’t worry, as long as us old guys aren’t dead, those bastards don’t even have to think about it.”
From what Philip said, someone in the British government should want to come to the Transvaal to pick peaches.
This will obviously offend the interests of Ade and Phillip, which is why Phillip is so angry.
This is very beneficial to Rock. If the sky falls, there will be a big man to hold it up. Rock only needs to do his job well.
"Last month Yang Smuts went to London." Philip provided a message.
"Why are you going to London?" Rock stuffed the remaining steak into his mouth. Phyllis noticed it and rolled her eyes.
Well, this action is really inelegant, Lord Nyasaland, and he doesn’t pay attention to his image at all.
"Of course I am going to lobby the London government. There is going to be an election in the Cape. The Boers are a little anxious now. They hope that Orange can also hold an early election, just like the Cape." Philip spoke slowly, and the information he provided was more shocking than the last.<
/p>
Adelaide's term in the Transvaal and Orange does not expire until next year, so in theory, even if the Transvaal and Orange are to implement democratic representative systems, it will not happen until Adelaide leaves office. Rock never expected that the Boers would be so impatient.
But this may be a good thing for Rock. Rock turned to look at Owen. Owen's eyes were as full of ecstasy as Rock's.
I must be happy. If Orange implements a democratic representative system, then the Transvaal will not be an exception. With the current situation in the Transvaal, if an election is held, the Liberal Party will almost certainly gain power. By then Rock
Then there is no need to worry about any problems, and the British government's influence on the Transvaal will continue to weaken.
Even if it goes further and the four colonies in southern Africa form the autonomous Union of South Africa, then Roque will try his best to promote Nyasaland and Rhodesia to join the Union of South Africa.
This may not seem wise, but it is the best opportunity to get rid of the control of the British government. Neither Rock nor Stoudemire will miss this opportunity.
"Can the Transvaal also hold early elections?" Owen still couldn't hold back. He is the leader of the Liberal Party. If the Liberal Party becomes the ruling party——
Then Irving's future is simply not too bright.
"Do you all want to hold early elections?" Philip's eyes were worried.
"Of course!"
"Yes."
Owen and Rock almost spoke in unison.
Philip nodded and stopped talking. Roque and Owen were not in a hurry. Philip's ability to land directly in Johannesburg must have connections in the British government. Although Philip's ability is unlikely to play a key role in this matter, he still added fuel to the fire.
Yes.
After dinner, Philip returned to his room and didn't know what he was busy with. Phyllis and Karina went upstairs to admire Etenault's latest jewelry. Roque and Owen went to the balcony. They still had something to say.
Chat.
"What do you think?" Owen's voice was trembling a little, and his legs were shaking habitually. Rock knew that Owen would do this whenever he got excited.
"What else can you think of? I will send a telegram to Winston and Neville and ask them to try their best to cooperate with Yang Smuts." This time Rock will use all his connections to help Yang Smuts.
"Would Winston and Neville agree?" Irving is concerned but confused.
"Why don't you agree? Just because the Transvaal is very promising? It's just that we think so. The local nobles and officials may not think so. For them, the Transvaal is just one of countless overseas colonies.
Apart from gold, there is no reason to be concerned, and even if the Transvaal is autonomous, it will not affect London's access to Transvaal gold, so it depends on the situation-" Rock didn't say anything, even if
Even if Winston and Neville are unwilling to help, Rock will use gold to make them agree.
It is an obvious fact that Transvaal, as a British overseas colony, will not bring much benefit to Winston and Neville, but if Winston and Neville are willing to help, Rock will definitely pay them generously
remuneration.
Who can still have trouble with money? If he is an old fox like Joseph Chamberlain, perhaps as he grows older, his desire for money has become much smaller, and he will care more about honor and national interests.
Winston and Neville are still young. They have greater needs for money and have not yet reached the time to chase honors.
"Then do it quickly. I can't wait. We now have 20,000 party members, and no one can defeat us." Owen is full of confidence. Don't think that the number of 20,000 is a bit small. In fact, this era is not human.
Everyone has the right to vote, so this number is already very large.
In the Cape, all people of color and women who have no payment records and who have lived in the Cape for less than five years do not have the right to vote. Calculated according to this standard, including pure British people, there are people in the Transvaal.
There are no more than a thousand people eligible to vote. After all, it has only been just over a year since the signing of the Peace Agreement and the Transvaal officially became a British colony.
Therefore, this provision must be revised. The right of Africans to vote has been restricted in the "Peace Agreement." Africans in the Transvaal and Orange do not have the right to vote until representative governments are established.
This "before" is also a trap. After the Transvaal and Orange establish a pending government, the pending government can legally restrict the voting rights of Africans, which means that Africans may never
None of them have the right to vote.
A huge loophole here is that there is no agreement that clearly stipulates the voting rights of Chinese Americans, so whether Chinese Americans have the right to vote depends on how Ade interprets the "Peace Agreement" now.
How else can Ade explain?
Of course, it is necessary to give the Chinese people the right to vote. Adelaide also counts on the votes of the Chinese people to ensure the dominance of the British in the Transvaal.
