Chapter 344 Agent
Surprisingly, when he saw the sudden intruder, Erwin Morrison, who was still shouting before, calmed down.
The mayor spread his hands directly where the other party could see him, sat up straight again, looked into the other party's eyes and asked, "Ms. Erica's housekeeper? What do you want to do?"
"I'm a little surprised that your opening remarks didn't ask me how I got in?"
He Chi looked at the other party with great interest, "I like your style. Even if you have different positions, communicating with smart people is always an efficient thing."
Speaking of which, the Eastern man put away his pistol, threw the grenade aside, straightened his collar and sat down opposite the mayor.
The guy opposite was like a small civil servant who came to report on his work, but Mr. Morrison knew that the other person was not really lax. He just expressed an attitude - I can do anything to you at any time, I don't need to be deliberately vigilant. .
"Okay, let's get straight to the point." He Chi also spread his hands, "You just called me Ms. Erica's housekeeper, which means you don't recognize her status as a royal princess?"
"Until there is conclusive evidence, I reserve a skeptical attitude, and even the real British royal family has no right to dictate to the Port of Cape Town." The mayor said solemnly.
"It's a very pragmatic statement." He Chi nodded and did not deny it. "The name of a Commonwealth country is just a hat on the head. It will fly away when the wind blows, but it depends on who is talking about justice."
He Chi leaned over, stared at the other person, and said in a bewitching voice, "Don't you think today's incident is a good opportunity for you?"
The mayor's thoughts moved
"What do you mean?"
The Easterners stood up and looked down at each other instead
"Erwin Morrison was born in a minor Dutch nobleman. He came to Cape Town fifteen years ago and climbed up to the position of mayor step by step. He accumulated a lot of wealth and commanded half of the military and police. At the same time, through political bribery, At least one-third of the local senators are your supporters, am I right?”
The mayor said nothing. The other party had obviously investigated him, which showed that he was really prepared this time.
"But your official career probably ends here." He Chi shook his head as if regretfully for the other party
"Dan Haile is the current Prime Minister of South Africa, and his South African National Party has an absolute advantage in the country. Unfortunately, you are not within his inner circle. If there are no major changes, just stay in Cape Town and be a local emperor. Your political cap ”
"What does this have to do with you?" The mayor regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth. This was a disguised admission that the other party's guess was correct.
"Of course it does matter." He Chi smiled mysteriously. "His Highness's speech this morning cut off the shackles of the territorial state. The riots of the indigenous people in Cape Town provided an appropriate opportunity. You have the resources in your hands, so you don't want to conform to public opinion." Come and do something? For example..."
The Easterner leaned over and whispered in the other person's ear, "How about launching a popular revolution and supporting a new prime minister? Or is it not impossible for you to do it directly?"
Ervin Morrison felt an electric current passing through his body, and the voice of the guy opposite seemed like a devil whispering in his ears, digging out the desires in his heart bit by bit.
However, the mayor still retained his rationality. He shook his head, "It's impossible, I lack the support of the local faction..."
"You don't have to worry about this." He Chi interrupted the other party directly. "My companion, Mr. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, is the legal heir of the Thembu family and has a broad base among the local people. He It will make up for all your shortcomings.”
"Mandela?" The mayor knew that this guy was a rare intellectual among the local ethnic groups, and his outstanding performance in previous court debates was also very impressive. But how did he end up hanging with the British?
The mayor tried to ask "Is he..."
"He is someone recognized by Her Royal Highness Margaret." The Easterner lowered his voice mysteriously. But it was this concise and concise explanation that made the logic in Mayor Morrison's mind instantly form a closed loop.
I see!
Understood! Got it all!
It turns out that the British knew that their influence existed in name only, but they did not want to give up South Africa's interests, so they were prepared to support local indigenous forces as their agents.
First, they incited civil strife, and then refreshed local politics in the name of national liberation, while the royal family acted as the puppeteer behind the scenes.
In this way, you can not only gain a good reputation, but also regain control of underwater interests.
It was really a brilliant political skill, and the person who made the plan was extremely courageous. In order to ensure success, he even sent a direct line member of the royal family to personally kill him.
It is indeed the work of the old empire!
If I can take this opportunity to reach a higher level...
Wait, calm down!
Revealing the hole card first is definitely the behavior of a third-rate gambler, the mayor kept warning himself.
He forced himself to calm down and tried to speak again, "With all due respect, Mr. Prime Minister's South African National Party controls the vast majority of the troops. What if the other party's armed forces suppress it by force?"

"The vast majority of the army?" The Easterner in front of him suddenly laughed. "Then, which of the vast majority of them pose the greatest threat to you?"
The mayor pondered for a moment and said, "Navy, Cape Town is the base of the National Navy. There are two cruisers and a destroyer anchored in the port. If necessary, you can bombard my mayor's residence at any time."
The Oriental man stood up with a smile and opened the window of the room. "Mr. Mayor, you really have good taste. You can even see the harbor in the distance from your office. This saves us a lot of trouble."

"What do you mean?" The mayor stood up and looked out the window involuntarily.
As far as the eye can see, in the distance is the deep-water berth of Cape Town Port, where the 5,000-ton displacement light cruiser Durban is docked, and next to it is its sister ship Scarborough.
The sun at four o'clock in the afternoon slanted down onto the upper part of the ship, like a golden curtain.
Suddenly, all the seabirds around took flight!
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Earth-shaking explosions came from the port area, and flames soaring into the sky enveloped the two cruisers one after another. The sailors on the dock fled in panic.
boom! ! ! boom! ! ! ! boom! ! ! !
In the other direction, a fire snake suddenly danced, and more than a dozen smoke-laden objects howled out from the foot of the mountain and plunged into the military camp next to the port.
A small armored vehicle unit was attacked by rockets from an unknown direction. All armored vehicles, including a Crusader tank, were destroyed on the spot.
The mayor clenched his fists tightly.
