Anyone who knows the situation knows that Phyllis is the real Lady of Nyasaland, Ada is the supernumerary Queen of Nyasaland, but Scarlett’s position is a bit vague. There were rumors as early as Johannesburg. In fact,
Scarlett is also Rock's lover.
People who know the situation will definitely dismiss such rumors. There are even more people who don’t understand the situation but are keen to discuss various gossips.
This is really because the image of most nobles in this regard is really not very good. The image of nobles in the eyes of the public seems to be like hungry ghosts in lust. They salivate when they see outstanding members of the opposite sex. Sometimes they even
Hungry and not selective about food, even sex is not spared.
In fact, it is not such an exaggeration. One Ada is enough to give Rock a headache. Although Ada is relatively worry-free and does not cause Rock too much trouble, the occasional trouble is enough to give Rock a headache, that is, Fei
Liz was so generous that the grape trellis at Roque's house didn't fall down.
Scarlett never explained those rumors, and it has to be said that the fact that Scarlett is living so quietly now has a lot to do with this rumor. When she was in Johannesburg, there were still people who pestered Scarlett, but now everyone is worried about it.
Scarlett stayed away, otherwise Scarlett probably wouldn't have the courage to confront that Macaulay head-on.
"That lady just now is a senior executive of Rand Bank?" Adelaide doesn't know whether he is interested in Scarlett or Rand Bank. It is estimated that Adelaide does not know the rumors between Scarlett and Rock.
In fact, even if he knew, Ade wouldn't care. There are more troubles with the local nobles. Rock and Scarlett are not related by blood. If this were placed in London, people would not even be interested in eating this kind of melon. "Yes, Scarlett is the person in charge of Rand Bank in Nyasaland." Rock introduced Scarlett clearly in one sentence.
Ade nodded and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Then this lady is really amazing." Bilov was mostly complimenting, but he didn't understand the real strength of Rand Bank. Rand Bank has not yet entered Germany.
It is only a matter of time before Rand Bank develops its business in Germany, but Rock will definitely not invest too much in Germany. The best time to enter Germany is after World War I. Germany, which is in urgent need of reconstruction, will definitely need a lot of funds.
All the hot money will flow into Germany, helping Germany to rise again in just two decades.
As for whether Germany's re-emergence will continue to pose a threat to European security, bankers will not care. This is a matter for politicians to worry about.
It’s funny to say that in another time and space, when Germany was being rebuilt, the British and American capitalists were the fastest running. Almost as soon as the war ended, they couldn’t wait to participate in the reconstruction of Germany.
French capitalists were one step behind, but French capitalists actually invested the most in the end. It can be said that Germany's re-emergence has a lot to do with Britain, France and the United States. What's funny is that it was Britain, France and the United States that kicked Germany into the abyss. p>
"I'll introduce you to another amazing lady another day. In fact, it's more appropriate to let Locke introduce you." Only then did Ade get in the mood to joke with Locke, obviously referring to Ada.
Ada is currently busy researching currency anti-counterfeiting technology.
After the establishment of the Southern African Federation, there will definitely be demand for currency.
The currency currently used in southern Africa is the pound. Although the chicken farts of the United States have surpassed the United Kingdom, the pound is undoubtedly the strongest currency in the world. The reason why London attaches so much importance to Johannesburg's gold is that it needs Johannesburg's gold to maintain its currency.
Speaking of the gold content of the pound, the subsequent US dollar system in the United States was established with reference to the British pound system.
After Southern Africa becomes autonomous, it may not be able to completely get rid of the British control politically, but it will definitely become independent economically. Therefore, after the establishment of the Southern African Federation, it will need to print its own currency. In the UK, this job is done by an empire similar to the central bank.
The bank is responsible. Roque certainly does not want the Imperial Bank to control the future finance of southern Africa. This role is best assumed by the Rand Bank.
Ada is researching currency anti-counterfeiting technology in order to undertake this business at the right time in the future. With the support of the Johannesburg Mining Alliance, Rand Bank is fully capable of using gold-backed currency. Only then will Rand Bank enter the market.
Development period.
Of course, there is no need to report to Ade for these tasks. If Ade knew about Roark's plans, he would scold Roark for having evil intentions.
"I should have taken the initiative to visit another day -" Bilov did not understand what Ade meant. Ade was talking about Ada, and Bilov thought Ade was talking about Phyllis.
Ade and Rock just looked at each other and smiled without explaining. The Germans are indeed as incomprehensible as the legend says.
It is said that in the middle of the dinner, Macaulay was sent directly back to Tanganyika and never appeared in Tanganyika again.
Rock didn't care about such trivial matters and accompanied Ade and Birov to visit the Nyasaland Automobile Factory again the next day.
After all, in Nyasaland, there are not many things that can be obtained and obtained.
When introducing the Lord's car to Bilov, Rock was still a little guilty. After all, this was once a model owned by Mercedes-Benz.
It's a pity that Mercedes-Benz is still a small workshop, and the sales of Mercedes-Benz cars are not good. In a few years, it will even be annexed by Daimler. Therefore, this classic model is destined to miss Mercedes-Benz. Even if Mercedes-Benz launches similar models in the future, Nia
Salan Automobile Factory can confidently accuse Mercedes-Benz of plagiarism.
In fact, this classic car model of Mercedes-Benz was launched for the old-fashioned and serious Germans. As expected, Birov was also very happy and immediately ordered a Lord's car with the family crest inlaid on it, and gave it to Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Shi has booked a fleet of twenty cars.
What else can Rock say? He can only agree to open the back door to William II and sell the car to William II. This is equivalent to asking William II to advertise in disguise. Not only does he not have to pay, but he can also make money.
, this kind of business is worthwhile, Rock also wants to sell the Lord's car to the British royal family, but unfortunately compared with the old-fashioned Germans, the British royal family is more old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and would rather ride in an ancient carriage than buy a Niassa
Cars produced by Lan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In fact, this is not surprising. The British royal family and the German royal family have been relatives for many years. They are related by blood, and it is understandable that they have the same habits.
After placing an order of more than 100,000 pounds, Birov found the opportunity to ask Rock that he hoped to visit the Nyasaland Arsenal.
Rock immediately became vigilant, hoping that the visit was probably a fake and hoping to learn that the rapid-fire guns produced in Nyasaland were real.
On the basis of Miss 75, Nyasaland Arsenal has now successfully developed a 120 mm caliber rapid-fire gun. The 120 mm caliber rapid-fire gun perfectly inherits the rate of fire of Miss 75 and incorporates the unique barrel technology of British artillery.
It is more powerful and has a longer range, so the Nyasaland Marine Police now has the confidence to develop a destroyer with a larger tonnage.
Rock's ideal destroyer should have a tonnage of about 3,000, not the current 1,000. The 75mm naval gun used by the destroyer now is too small in caliber and basically cannot play a big role in naval battles. If it can be equipped with 120mm
mm naval guns, then they can provide a certain degree of support on land and can also play a greater role in naval battles.
France has always strictly blocked all information related to Miss 75 from Germany. All Miss 75 sold by France will be strictly restricted, not only to prevent Germany from getting Miss 75 for research, but also to completely prevent Germans from accessing Miss 75.
Miss's chances, even for an old bureaucrat like Birov who doesn't understand technology, are within France's prohibition.
So Rock was in a dilemma, but after all, Bilov had just spent hundreds of thousands at the Nyasaland Automobile Factory. If he refused at this time, it didn't seem to be the attitude of doing business, so Rock still went to Ade and asked
Ask Ade if he has any ideas.
"Haha, if you want to visit the Nyasaland Arsenal, let him visit it. Just don't let him visit the artillery part. The general-purpose machine guns in your arsenal are very good. I heard that the Royal Army has placed an order, so let's take a look.
Can you sell it to the Germans?" Adelaide is also full of money. It is estimated that his life in London during this period left a deep impression on Adelaide.
Rich people are always bosses wherever they go, but those without money, even former South African commissioners like Ade and Governor of Orange in the Transvaal, will sit on the bench when they arrive in London.
Rock understood immediately, turned around and told Nelson Morley to get ready, and then he and Ade took Birov to visit the Nyasaland Arsenal.
When he saw Ade, Bilov's expression was more disgusting than eating a fly.
Then after seeing the Luger pistol produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal, Bilov's expression became more complicated.
The Luger pistol was developed by the Germans. Now the German General Staff is considering designating the Luger pistol as the standard weapon of the German army.
This is a real-life case of the beauty inside the wall and the beauty outside the wall. Few people in Germany know about the Ruger pistol, but the Nyasaland Arsenal has mass-produced it and sold it to the outside world.
It was only then that Bilov noticed that many of the guards around Rock were using Luger pistols.
Of course, there are also many people who use Browning. Rock does not prohibit this. Although the Northern Rhodesian Division and the new 1st Cavalry Division both use Luger pistols as their standard pistols, officers and soldiers can also choose Brownings.
As sidearms, both guns use nine-millimeter bullets anyway, but it depends on personal habits.
Rock also deliberately disgusted Birov. When Nelson Morley introduced the general-purpose machine gun produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal, Rock proudly introduced beside him that the general-purpose machine gun was developed on the basis of the Maxim heavy machine gun.<
/p>
Unexpectedly, Bilov did not respond at all. Only then did Rock realize that although Germany relied on Maxim to cause heavy casualties to the British and French armies during World War I, Maxim was a British man and was born in the United States.
