Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1130

Compared with the light tanks commonly used in the late World Wars, medium tanks have a considerable improvement in both armor thickness and artillery caliber.

In the middle and late stages of the World War, when the tanks of the Allied Powers appeared on the battlefield, the German army converted the field guns into direct-firing guns as quickly as possible to defend against the Allied tank assaults. threat is limited.

Now the Germans have enough time for research. Although the Paris peace conference will have relatively large restrictions on the German army after the war, Rock believes that the Germans will try to retain a considerable degree of scientific research capabilities no matter what. In terms of German scientific research capabilities, It is only a matter of time before armor-piercing projectiles are developed.

Of course, when the German scientific researchers worked hard, the southern African scientific researchers were not idle.

Compared with German scientific research workers, southern African scientific research workers have more sufficient funds, a better environment, and a more complete system. Rock is confident that the scientific research system in southern Africa will not lose to any European country, especially in the world war After the case ended, a large number of European scientists came to southern Africa.

Don't think that only German scientists came to southern Africa, a large number of British and French scientists, and even some American researchers came to southern Africa after the end of the world war.

In this era of scientific and technological research and development, enterprises are the backbone. Europe and the United States rarely provide support for scientific and technological research and development at the national level.

The Federal Government of Southern Africa has no strength to promote scientific and technological research and development, but the enterprises in Southern Africa are rich. A large number of enterprises with Nyasaland Heavy Industry and Nyasaland Military Industry as the core achieved leapfrog development during the World War, and the World War ended. In the end, Nyasaland Military Industry issued 1200 invitation letters to scientists in Europe and the United States at one time in order to solicit new rifle design proposals.

These scientists were invited to come to Nyasaland to participate in the design of the new rifle of the Nyasaland military industry, and all expenses were borne by the Nyasaland military industry group.

Even the current British government can't do this.

The British government was satisfied with Lee Enfield's performance during the World Wars and there was no demand for improvements to Lee Enfield.

Rock has higher requirements for rifles. Not to mention getting automatic rifles out now, at least get a Garland to equip troops.

That's not right, the official serial number of the Garland seems to be M1. Although this rifle was not equipped with US troops on a large scale until 1936 in another time and space, the actual research and development began in 1921.

It's 1918 in a few days, and now is the right time to start.

In the past few days before and after the new year, Brad's office headquartered in Los Angeles was extremely busy. Since December, agents from various countries lurking in Nyasaland have been extremely active. Brad's office has cracked four cases targeting Nigeria within a month. The espionage operations of Yasaran Military Industry and Nyasaland Heavy Industry, three of which targeted Nyasaran Heavy Industry and one targeted Nyasaland Military Industry.

"Grey Fox doesn't say anything, and he doesn't acknowledge his relationship with the War Office. Chris is still waiting for our reply, should we hand over Gray Fox to him?" O'Connor, a senior agent in Brad's office in Los Angeles, is a Slav He has the physique of a bear, the sharpness of an eagle, and the ferocity of a wolf. He is the right-hand man of Fox, the director of Brad's office in Los Angeles.

"Look at what you guys did. If you had been more cautious when catching the gray fox, you wouldn't have these shitty things. Now that Chris is blocking the door, what do you want me to do?" Fox In a fit of rage, Chris was the head of the British War Office in Nyasaland, whose base was still on Likoma Island.

A week ago, Gray Fox was secretly arrested by the agents of Brad's office in his apartment. During the arrest, some accidents happened, and finally the news leaked, and Chris blocked the door of Brad's office.

Fox has information that suggests that Gray Fox is likely to be an agent working for the British War Office. Gray Fox's public identity is the manager of the Royal Small Arms Company's office in Nyasaland.

During the World War, Nyasaland's technical capabilities and industrial strength shocked the whole world. Before the World War ended, countless agents flocked in with a large number of immigrants. Both Nyasaland Heavy Industry and Nyasaland Military Industry It is the hardest-hit area for espionage activities, and Gray Fox was exposed when he tried to bribe an engineer from the Nyasaland military-industrial group.

"You can't blame me. You asked us to be more gentle." O'Connor argued that the relationship between the UK and southern Africa is complicated. Nyasaland is part of the UK, and Gray Fox is British. When the agents arrested people, they really wanted to Be careful, don't kill yourself at every turn.

"Handling lightly is to let you do things properly, don't kill people at every turn—" Fox slapped the table and roared. O'Connor is a good subordinate, loyal, brave and fearless, but his subordinates are not important.

O'Connor wanted to defend himself, but Fox pointed at his nose and scolded: "Get out, go home and reflect for a week!"

"Okay then—" O'Connor wasn't angry, and whistled happily when he opened the door. For O'Connor, introspection was a vacation, and it was paid.

"This bastard!" Fox gritted his teeth, he really loved and hated O'Connor.

Leaving Fox's office and passing the lounge, O'Connor greeted Chris who was waiting in the lounge: "Mr. Chris, our Director invites you to go over—"

In name, Brad’s office is affiliated to the Nyasaland State Government. In fact, the Nyasaland State Government has no jurisdiction over Brad’s office. The position of Brad’s office is a bit messy. Internally, Fox is the director of Brad’s office. Externally, Fox is the Director of Public Affairs of the Nyasaland State Government.

Chris was the young man who came to Nyasaland with Frank at the beginning. It was already 15 years ago. Now the young man has become a greasy middle-aged man. Frank's current position is the director of the Military Intelligence Department.

After the outbreak of World War II, the War Office subdivided the subordinate intelligence division into 19 military intelligence offices, which were directly responsible to the Ministry of War.

The intelligence agency in Nyasaland is part of MI[-] and is responsible for intelligence in the UK.

Interestingly, after the beginning of the World War, the Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa also subdivided the intelligence department originally under the Fourth Division into nine intelligence departments, which were responsible for communication technology, map drawing, intelligence, security, information, propaganda, etc. Direction, MI9 is also responsible for intelligence work within the Commonwealth.

So if someone in Los Angeles claims to be an MI[-] staff member, it must be clearly distinguished. It may be MI[-] of the British War Department, or MI[-] of the Ministry of Defense in Southern Africa.

"Thank you, O'Connor, I wish you a happy weekend." Chris didn't want to say Happy New Year to O'Connor, although everyone was working for the British Empire, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes.

When he came to Fox's office, Chris was familiar with the way: "Fox, when are you going to release Mr. William?"

William is Gray Fox, and the Royal Small Arms Company is a wholly-owned institution affiliated to the British War Department, so in principle, William, Chris, and Fox all serve the British Empire.

"Mr. William's behavior is suspected of harming the interests of the Nyasaland military-industrial group. We suspect that he is serving the German intelligence agency, so the investigation of Mr. William will continue for a while." Fox will definitely not let him go, and contact William The engineer was very vigilant and did not give William any technical information, but Fox did not know whether William had contact with other engineers of the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group before, all of this would have to wait to pry William's mouth I didn't know until later.

"Fox, you know, it is impossible for William to serve the German intelligence agency—" Chris collapsed. If Fox finds other reasons, then Chris still has something to say. This excuse is really impeccable.

Chris couldn't just say that William was serving MI[-].

Even if Chris said that, Fox was prepared. Double agents are normal these days. With the population mobility in Europe, there are three or four sides. Such people are called intelligence brokers. Whoever gives them money, they Who will die for.

"How do you know that William can't serve the German intelligence agency?" With the presence of the old God Fox, this is an inextricable knot.

Chris couldn't prove it, but Chris also had a trump card in his hand. Also a week ago, MI[-] of the Ministry of War arrested a southern African named Wolfe in his native land. This Wolfe graduated from Nyasaland University A top student working in Portsmouth Royal Naval Dockyard, a week ago, Wolfe was arrested on suspicion of leaking Britain's most advanced Parsons steam turbine-related technology.

"Fox, what exactly are you going to do to release William—" Chris didn't want to go around in circles with Fox anymore. There are some things that everyone knows very well, and they just wait for the other party to bring it up first.

"Do you know what William did? He bought an engineer from the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group and took away relevant information about medium tanks. I don't need to go into too much detail, but you know what it means." Fox True or false, the part of buying is true, and the part of taking away the information is false, but Chris does not know this.

When Fox said "medium tank", Chris' breathing became short of breath. Although Chris thought he was hiding it well, his emotional changes could not escape Fox's eyes.

Fox is a part-time graduate student in psychology at Nyasaland University.

Compared with the intelligence agencies in southern Africa, the British intelligence agencies are indeed a bit naive. After all, the British military intelligence service has only been split up for a few years, and Brad has been established for nearly 20 years.

The gap of so many years cannot be made up in a short time.

ps: I have been communicating with the editor in the past few days. While considering the new book, I am also trying to make it more exciting. Try writing historical texts as urban texts to see if you guys like it——
