Chapter 527 Bad intentions

Anyone who knows the situation knows that Phyllis is the real Mrs. Nyasaland, and Ada is the supernumerary Queen of Nyasaland. Scarlett's position is a bit vague. There were rumors as early as in Johannesburg. Carrie is also Rock's lover.

People who know the situation will definitely dismiss such rumors, and there are more people who don't know the situation but are keen to discuss all kinds of gossip.

It is also because the image of most nobles in this aspect is actually not very good. The image of nobles in the eyes of the public seems to be like hungry ghosts in sex. They salivate when they see outstanding opposite sex, and sometimes even He is so hungry that he will not let go of sex.

In fact, there is no such exaggeration. A single Ada is enough for Roque to have a headache. Although Ada is quite worry-free and doesn't cause Roque too much trouble, but once in a while, it is enough for Roque to have a headache. Lisi is so generous that the grape trellis in Rock's house didn't fall down.

For those rumors, Scarlett never explained, and I have to say that Scarlett’s life is so quiet now, which has a lot to do with this rumor. When she was in Johannesburg, there were people pestering Scarlett. Now everyone is right. Scarlett kept her at a respectful distance, otherwise Scarlett probably didn't have the courage to confront Macaulay head-on.

"That lady just now is a senior executive of Rand Bank?" Ade didn't know whether he was interested in Scarlett or Rand Bank. It is estimated that Ade didn't know about the rumors between Scarlett and Rock. In fact, even if he knew, Ade wouldn't care. The local aristocrats have more troubles in this regard. Rock and Scarlett are not related by blood. If it were 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." With one sentence, Rock introduced Scarlett clearly.

Ade nodded and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Then this lady is really amazing." Bilov was mostly flattering, not understanding the real strength of Rand Bank, which has not entered Germany yet.

It will be a matter of time before the Rand Bank develops its German business, but Roark 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. Hot money from all over the world will pour into Germany, helping Germany re-emerge in just 20 years.

As for whether a re-emerging Germany will continue to pose a threat to European security, bankers don't care about such things. This is a question that politicians have to worry about.

It's funny to say that in another time and space, when Germany was being rebuilt, the British and American capitalists ran the fastest. Almost as soon as the war ended, they couldn't wait to participate in the reconstruction of Germany.

The French capitalists were one step behind, but the French capitalists actually invested the most in the end. It can be said that the re-emergence of Germany has a lot to do with Britain, France and the United States. It is ridiculous that it was Britain, France and the United States that kicked Germany into the abyss.

"I'll introduce you to another amazing lady another day. In fact, it would be more appropriate for Locke to introduce you." Ade was in the mood to joke with Rock at this time, obviously referring to Ada.

Ada has been busy researching currency anti-counterfeiting technology recently.

After the establishment of the Southern African Federation, there will definitely be a demand for currency.

The currency used in southern Africa is the pound sterling. Although the farts of chickens in the United States have surpassed those in the United Kingdom, the pound sterling is undoubtedly the strongest currency in the world. The reason why London attaches so much importance to the gold in Johannesburg is that it needs the gold in Johannesburg to maintain The gold content of the British pound, speaking of the U.S. dollar system later, was also established with reference to the British pound system.

After the southern African self-government, it may not be able to completely get rid of the control of the United Kingdom politically, but it must be independent economically, so after the establishment of the Southern African Federation, it needs to print its own currency. In the United Kingdom, this job is done by an empire similar to the central bank. The bank is in charge. Roark definitely doesn't want the Imperial Bank to control the future finance of southern Africa. This role is best assumed by the Rand Bank.

Ada's research on currency anti-counterfeiting technology is to undertake this business at an appropriate time in the future. With the backing of the Johannesburg Mining Union, Rand Bank is fully capable of using gold-backed currency. development period.

Of course, there is no need to report these tasks to Ade. If Ade knows these plans of Rock, he will scold Rock for evil now.

"I should have taken the initiative to visit another day—" Bilov didn't understand Ade's meaning. Ade was talking about Ida, and Bilov thought Ade was talking about Phyllis.

Ade and Roque just looked at each other and smiled without explaining. The Germans are still as puzzled as in the legend.

It is said that in the middle of the dinner, Macaulay was sent directly back to Tanganyika, and he never appeared in Tanganyika again.

Rock didn't care about such trivial matters, and accompanied Ade and Bilov to visit the Nyasaland Automobile Factory again the next day.

After all, in Nyasaland, there are not many things that can and can be sold.

When introducing the Lord car to Bilov, Rock was still a little guilty. After all, it used to belong to the Mercedes-Benz company.

It's a pity that Mercedes-Benz is still a small workshop now, and the sales of Mercedes-Benz cars are not good. In a few years, it will even be annexed by Daimler, so this classic model is destined to miss Mercedes-Benz. Saran 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. Bilov was really happy to see the hunting, and immediately ordered a lord car inlaid with the family badge for himself, and gave it to Kaiser Wilhelm II World booked a convoy of twenty cars.

What else can Roque say, he can only agree to open the back door to William II and sell the car to William II, which is tantamount to asking William II to advertise in disguise, or the kind that not only does not need to pay, but can also make money , This kind of business has to be done, Rock also wants to sell the Lord's car to the British royal family, but unfortunately, compared with the staid and conservative Germans, the British royal family is more staid and conservative, and would rather take an ancient carriage than buy a Niassa Lan produced cars.

In fact, this is not surprising. The British royal family and the German royal family are also old relatives for many years.

After placing a full order of 10,000+ pounds, Bilov found the opportunity to propose to Rock, hoping to visit the Nyasaland Arsenal.

Rock immediately raised his vigilance, hoping that the visit was probably fake, and hoping to know that the rapid-fire gun produced by Nyasaland was real.

On the basis of Miss Seventy-Five, Nyasaland Armory has now successfully developed a 120mm rapid-fire gun. The 120mm rapid-fire gun perfectly inherits the rate of fire of Miss Seventy-Five, 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 75 instead of the current 120. The [-]mm naval guns used by destroyers are too small in caliber, and basically cannot play a big role in naval battles. If they can be equipped with [-] mm mm naval gun, then it can provide a certain degree of support for land, and it can also play a greater role in naval battles.

For a long time, France has strictly blocked all information related to Miss Seventy-Five in Germany. All Miss Seventy-Five sold by France will be strictly restricted, not only to prevent Germany from getting Miss Seventy-Five to conduct research, but even to completely prevent Germans from contacting Seventy-Five Miss Chance, even an old bureaucrat like Bilov, who is not technically savvy, is within the forbidden range of France.

So Rock was in a dilemma, but after all, Bilov just spent 10,000+ at the Nyasaland Automobile Factory. If he refused at this time, it seemed that he was not in the business attitude, so Rock still went to Ade and asked. Does Ed have any ideas.

"Hehe, if you want to visit the Nyasaland Armory, 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 orders, so let's take a look." Can you sell it to the Germans—" Ade is also full of money now, and it is estimated that his life in London during this period has left a deep impression on Ade.

Rich people are uncles everywhere, and those without money, even a former South African commissioner like Adelaide, the Governor of Orange in the Transvaal, will sit on the bench when he comes to London.

Rock understood immediately, turned around and told Nelson Morley to get ready, and then he and Ade took Bilov to visit the Nyasaland Arsenal.

When he saw Ade, Bilov's expression was more disgusting than eating a fly.

After seeing the Luger pistol produced by Nyasaland Arsenal, Bilov's expression became more complicated.

The Ruger pistol was developed by the Germans, and now the German Army Staff is considering designating the Ruger pistol as a standard weapon for the German army.

This is a real case of flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall. Few people in Germany know the Luger pistol, but the Nyasaland Arsenal has produced it on a large scale and sold it to the outside world.

It was only at this time that Bilov noticed that many of the guards around Rock were using Luger pistols.

Of course, there are many people who use Browning. Rock does not prohibit this aspect. Although the Rhodesian Northern Division and the new First Cavalry Division both use Ruger pistols as standard pistols, officers and soldiers can also choose Browning. As sidearms, both guns use [-]mm bullets anyway, depending on personal habits.

Rock also intentionally disgusted Bilov. When Nelson Morley introduced the general-purpose machine gun produced by Nyasaland Arsenal, Rock proudly introduced that the general-purpose machine gun was developed on the basis of the Maxim heavy machine gun.

Unexpectedly, Bilov didn't respond at all, and Rock realized at this time that although Germany used Maxim to cause heavy damage to the British and French troops during World War I, Maxim was British and was born in the United States. The British have nothing to do with the Germans.
