Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1083

These rifles brought back by the armored vehicles are exactly the batches that the Umbrella Company sold to Lisa Khan before the outbreak of the World War. These exported weapons have special numbers on them. The layman does not know what it means, but the insider knows it at a glance. source of firearms.

After discovering this, Li De was furious. In fact, the relationship between Port Elizabeth and Lisa Khan has always been good. Otherwise, Port Elizabeth would not be able to sell weapons to Lisa Khan. Now the Persians actually use the weapons produced in southern Africa. It is really ungrateful and white-eyed wolf to attack new immigrants with weapons.

"My lord, we can cut off our support for Lisa Khan and find a new spokesperson for interests from the Persian Empire—" Li De is cruel, Lisa Khan's first day of junior high school, there is fifteen in Port Elizabeth, and he wants to clean up Lisa Khan. A warlord like Khan should not be too simple.

"Wait, send a telegram to Lisa Khan and see how he explains this matter." Rock is not in a hurry, Li De is not knowledgeable enough, and ungrateful white-eyed wolves abound in front of interests, Lisa Khan It's nothing.

What's more, this is not necessarily instigated by Lisa Khan, because it does not benefit Lisa Khan, and it is not now to find fault. It is not better to find fault during the world war. Now the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company have returned to Elizabeth Hong Kong, unless Lisa Khan is crazy, dare to send people to harass the Mesopotamia at this time.

Of course, no matter what the situation is, Rock will not take it lightly.

If Lisa Khan knew about this, then Rock would have to adjust his relationship with Lisa Khan.

If you don't know, it means that Lisa Khan's control over the troops under his command is weakening.

Now that Rock had made a decision, Li De stopped talking nonsense and turned to appease Ma Zhuang.

Although this treatment is the most beneficial for Port Elizabeth, it is not a good thing for the new immigrants in Nanshan Town. Their threat has not been really resolved. If you succeed, after all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Rock guessed it right, Lisa Khan did not know about it, and after sending a telegram to Lisa Khan, Lisa Khan rushed to Port Elizabeth the next day to explain to Rock in person.

"My lord, I swear on the honor of my family that those bandits are indeed not my troops. I have ordered people to investigate this matter and ordered the troops to strengthen patrols on the border to prevent this from happening again." Lisa Khan vowed , The situation in the Persian Empire is very complicated. Lisa Khan now desperately needs the support of the British government, and his dependence on Port Elizabeth is more serious than before the outbreak of the world war.

But what surprised Rock was that when Lisa Khan needed the support of the British Empire the most, Lisa Khan made frequent moves in private and was not friendly to the British Empire.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the Persian Empire was basically divided between the British and Russian Empires. The northern part of the Persian Empire was the sphere of influence of the Russian Empire, and the southern part was the sphere of influence of the British Empire.

During the World Wars, the attention of both Britain and the Russian Empire was firmly attracted to Europe by the Allies, and this gave Lisa Khan the opportunity. Lisa Khan gradually replaced the army with Cossack officers during these four years. He took the opportunity to expand his troops to about 4, and was ready to overthrow the Kaijia Dynasty.

At this time, Lisa Khan's dependence on Port Elizabeth was more serious than ever before, because Lisa Khan also needed Port Elizabeth to provide enough weapons to arm his troops.

After explaining, Lisa Khan started making demands.

During the World War, the arsenals in southern Africa had to go all out to meet the needs of Europe, and they were unable to provide Lisa Khan with more weapons. The more important problem was that Lisa Khan had no money to buy, and now the most basic rifles could no longer meet the needs of Europe. Lisa Khan's needs, what Lisa Khan wanted were aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery, the sale of these weapons was outside Reed's purview.

Aircraft and tanks are indeed advanced, but advanced technology also means more expensive, more complicated operation, and higher requirements for logistical maintenance. Rock does not think that the current Persian Empire is capable of using these weapons.

"These weapons have high requirements for soldiers and require long-term training. Even after the training, instructors need to be sent to ensure that these weapons can really play a role. Are you sure you can accept these conditions?" Rock said to Lisa Khan is welcome, no matter how much Lisa Khan will achieve in the future, the current Lisa Khan does not deserve much attention from Rock.

Li De was right. If Rock really didn't like Lisa Khan, it would not be difficult to find a new spokesperson for interests in Persia.

Rock's conditions made Lisa Khan feel embarrassed. During the World War, Lisa Khan finally cleaned up the British officers in the army. If these instructors are invited back now, all previous efforts will be in vain.

"It's not the most powerful weapon that's the best to use, the most suitable one is the best—" Rock reminded Lisa Khan not to be too ambitious. Millet and rifles are fine, why bother to pursue aircraft and cannons .

From the standpoint of Port Elizabeth, no matter how far the relationship between the Persian Empire and Port Elizabeth goes in the future, Rock does not want a powerful country to appear next to Port Elizabeth, which is not in the interests of Port Elizabeth.

To put it bluntly, now that Port Elizabeth has robbed Khuzestan by coercion and lure, Lisa Khan is now afraid to turn his face due to the situation. It does not mean that he will not dare in the future, or that it does not mean that Lisa Khan His successor dared not.

For the long-term interests of Port Elizabeth, controlling Lisa Khan's strength to a certain extent is more conducive to the stability of the area around Port Elizabeth.

"Then we need more aid, and at the same time we need a loan from the Rand Bank—" Lisa Khan was the next best thing to do. Since the aircraft and tanks are not provided, it is always possible to provide some rifles and machine guns.

Knock on the blackboard and pay attention, it is "give", not "sell".

"Lisa, the last loan you owed to us hasn't been repaid—" Li De finally couldn't help it. It seems that this is not the first time this has happened.

"I will pay it back, but not now. I need more power, so I need more weapons to arm my troops." Lisa Khan was plausible, and it sounded right.

"Then let's talk about how to pay." Li De likes Lisa Khan like this. It doesn't matter if he has no money to pay off the debt, he can pay in other ways.

Compared with Lisa Khan, Britain, France, and Italy owe more money to southern Africa. After the end of the world war, Winston once discussed the debt problem with Rock, but Rock did not force Winston to repay the debt. It's easy to say, it's okay to transfer part of the benefits, and it should be regarded as paying interest.

France is even better. Ada is also in France now and is discussing with the French government how to repay the debt. Clemenceau wants to use Madagascar to pay off the debt, but Ada refuses.

Rock did not participate in the negotiations between Reed and Lisa Khan, and Winston sent a telegram, hoping that Rock could send troops to fight against the Somali rebels.

The rebellion in Somalia has a long history. Around the end of the last century, there was a rebellion in Somalia under the control of the Kingdom of Italy. At that time, during the Second Boer War, the British government focused all its attention on southern Africa and had no spare time to take care of Somalia.

After the second Boer War ended, the British government calculated that the colonial war was too expensive, so the Somali rebels were put on hold again.

During the World War, the Somali rebellion finally spread to the whole of Somalia, and the Somali area under British control was also affected by the rebels. At this time, the British government's attention was on the western front, let alone the ability to put out the Somali rebels.

Now that the world war is over, the British government can finally take a breather, but the strength of the United Kingdom was severely damaged in the world war, and it is also unable to send troops to Somalia to counter the rebellion.

Seeing that the rebellion in Somalia was about to spread to the nearby British colonies, Winston remembered that Rock was in Port Elizabeth.

When he heard the name Somalia, Rock felt his head was a little big. The Horn of Africa, once famous for its spices, now looks like a country of pirates, and the location of Somalia is very important. If the problem of Somalia If it cannot be resolved in time, the ships traveling between southern Africa and Port Elizabeth will be threatened at all times.

Just for this reason, Rock couldn't ignore it.

However, it is not easy to quell the rebellion in Somalia. Now Somalia is jointly controlled by the Kingdom of Italy and the United Kingdom, and is divided into Italian Somalia and British Somalia. The Somali rebels were completely wiped out.

Thinking of the performance of the Kingdom of Italy's troops in the World War, Roque could only sigh. Don't think that the Kingdom of Italy would be invincible in Somalia if it could not defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1894, the Kingdom of Italy sent an expeditionary force to invade Ethiopia, which is next to Somalia. , As a result, the Italian army lost consecutive battles and almost wiped out the entire army, which made the Kingdom of Italy the laughing stock of the whole of Europe.

That war was known as the first Italian-Ethiopian war. At that time, 1.7 Italian expeditionary troops went out, with about 1.1 casualties, and 4000 people were captured.

Meanwhile, Ethiopian troops suffered between 4000 and 5000 dead and around 6000 to 10 wounded.

This should be the first time that a European country was beaten so badly by an African country. After the war, Ethiopia became the only independent country in Africa. The Kingdom of Italy did not give up, but it was still unable to conquer Ethiopia.

Although the Kingdom of Italy has all kinds of unbearable history, Roque still took the initiative to contact the Italians and ask for their opinions.
