Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1254 The president fell off the train, can you believe it

The United States is in such a mess right now that the mutual attacks of the Democrats and Republicans have contributed a lot.

It is not the responsibility of the Democratic Party that nothing was gained in the world war. Almost all the participating countries except southern Africa suffered heavy losses. The Allied Powers originally wanted to transfer the losses to the Allies through post-war liquidation.

What the Allied Powers never expected was that the Allied Powers were simply unable to compensate for the losses of the Allied Powers. All three empires collapsed, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire were directly destroyed, and Germany’s cede land compensation was confiscated. Oil and water, this is why they simply gave up their demands for compensation from Germany.

Woodrow Wilson originally wanted to use the League of Nations to expand American influence.

As a result, Congress refused to cooperate, and the United States did not even join the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson's plan was nothing.

Against this backdrop, the Republican Party insists that it is the incompetence of the Democratic Party that caused the United States to gain nothing in the world war.

The Democratic Party countered that the United States did not play its due role because of the constraints of the Republican Party.

If the United States can be more fully prepared before the war.

If the United States can enter the war earlier.

If the United States joins the League of Nations—

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.

At the time of Hoover's assassination, the French and Belgian gift of southern Africa was in progress.

In order to thank Southern Africa for its contribution during the World Wars, France and Belgium donated part of their coastal lands to Southern Africa.

It is inappropriate to use "a part" here. It seems to be quite large. In fact, the total area is less than 20 square kilometers. It is next to Dunkirk and less than ten kilometers away from Dunkirk.

During the World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force fought repeated tug-of-war with Germany near Flanders. In Ypres alone, three large-scale battles broke out. More than 20.00% of the soldiers who died in the World War in Southern Africa were Most of them were buried on a hill not far from Dunkirk. After discussing with the Belgian government, they decided to donate this hill to southern Africa.

This is not the only territory that France has given away. Just last month, in order to thank the Canadian Expeditionary Force for its help, France donated a piece of land about one square kilometer near Vimy Ridge to Canada, becoming Canada's only overseas enclave.

One square kilometer is too small, small enough to erect a monument, and the square must be built on French soil.

The land that France and Belgium gave to southern Africa is quite large, and the key point is that this land is by the sea, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future. Think about how the Dutch reclaimed the land. If Southern Africa is willing, it is completely possible. Fill in more land.

The gift of land is a big event. As the prime minister, Adelaide can't leave. He has to stand on the last post. Roque, as the former commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, came to Dunkirk to attend the donation ceremony on behalf of Adelaide.

The French and Belgian governments have prepared grand welcome ceremonies for Roque, which will be attended by the just-elected French President Paul Deschanel and Prime Minister Alexandre Millerand.

After the end of the World War, the French government also experienced personnel changes. The term of President Raymond Poengale, who made great contributions during the World War, expired, and Raymond Poengale did not continue to run for election.

"Tiger" Clemenceau wanted to attack the presidency by virtue of his great prestige.

This is an illusion. Clemenceau's reputation is not as great as he thought. The French thanked Clemenceau for leading France to win the war, but they were also very dissatisfied with France's post-war gains, so they voted for a congenital Neurotics come out as president.

On the day of the ceremony, an accident happened that left everyone dumbfounded.

President Paul Deschanel, who was preparing to attend the ceremony, did not appear at the ceremony in time because Paul Deschanel fell off the train on the way to Dunkirk by train.

Rock couldn't believe it when he knew it, the president fell off the train——

I don't even know how to evaluate it.

"It seems to be like this. Yesterday, Mr. President had a cold. His valet gave the President a sleeping pill, and then the President fell asleep. At five o'clock in the morning, the President's train received a telegram saying that a person fell off the President's train. When they got down, the head of the president’s guard counted the number of people. At that time, there were 44 people on the presidential train, including the president. No one was absent except the sleeping president, so the head of the guard didn’t care—at seven o’clock in the morning, the president’s personal man The servant wanted to wake up the president, but found that the president’s clothes and socks were all there, and the glass window was open, only then did he realize that the president had fallen from the train—” Stoudemire’s expression was also broken, let alone the French Even a small country like Belgium, one of the best big countries in the world, shouldn't have this kind of thing happen.

King Albert I of Belgium was lying on the gun, and there was a sentence that MMP didn't know if it should be said.

"Last night at 12 o'clock, when a roadman was inspecting the railway, he found a naked man with a swollen face lying on the side of the railway. It seemed that this person had lost consciousness. The roadman took him On the way to the guardhouse at the crossing, this man chattered endlessly: 'My friend, I will surprise you, you may not believe it-I am the President of the Republic'-the roadman reported to the station, and the station received the report, A doctor was sent to treat Mr. President. It took a long time for the doctor to confirm that the person was the President. It is said that shortly after the train departed from the President, Mr. President felt a little hot, so he got up and walked to the window, opened the window to get some fresh air The air—the night was very windy, and the President was sucked out of the train—” Sidney Milner was as vivid as if he had witnessed the misery of the President.

Rock was completely speechless. He could only be thankful that this was a train, and the speed of the train was not too fast at this time. If he felt stuffy on the plane——

"Naturally, it's very French—" Jan Smolts didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and the British were always happy to see the French make a fool of themselves.

Just as the French love to laugh at the British.

Now France is leading 1:0!

Rock can't help but laugh. The president seems to be mentally abnormal. During his tenure, his performance became worse and worse, and finally developed into a mental disorder and a mental breakdown, and finally had to resign.

Only then did the doctor confirm that the president of the great France is actually congenitally neurotic!

God knows how he became President of France.

It is definitely a fight with the American Knowing King.

"Lord Nyasaland, the ceremony is held normally, but our Mr. President is unable to attend due to physical reasons, sorry--" Prime Minister Alexander Milleran offered to apologize to Roque. He and Roque are also acquaintances. During the World War, Alexander Millerand served as France's Minister of War, and Roque once fought side by side.

"It's okay, Prime Minister, please take me to greet Mr. President, and hope he is safe." Rock didn't know what to say, as if everything he said was a mockery.

Sure enough, as soon as Rock's words fell, Alexander Millerand's face was the same as that of a purple eggplant.

Then Roque and Alexander Millerand attended the transfer ceremony pretending to be nonchalant. Mr. President fell off the train, which cast a shadow over the whole ceremony. The ceremony ended hastily, and Alexander Millerand He left Dunkirk and returned to Paris without even attending the dinner after the ceremony.

To be precise, there were not many French officials at the whole dinner.

Presumably French officials also thought the incident was too embarrassing to appear at the dinner.

King Albert I of Belgium also left Dunkirk to return to Belgium after the ceremony, and the dinner turned out to be a gathering of southern African officials and businessmen.

"Don't underestimate these 20 square kilometers. The geographical location determines the huge value of these 20 square kilometers. It is less than 80 kilometers away from Dover, surrounded by mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The coastal areas are flat and can be carried out in the Netherlands. Christian, come up with a plan." Rock directly named, Christian's company has rich experience in this area.

France and Belgium certainly won't give Southern Africa the real good places.

Rock, Stoudemire, and Sidney Milner came to this barren mountain called Duperokust Dunes the next day. They first presented flowers to the southern African officers and soldiers buried here, and then began to discuss how to better Take advantage of this place.

It is said to be a sand dune, but it is actually a barren mountain. There is very little vegetation on the rolling hills, and there are bare rocks everywhere. There is only a wasteland of about 500 meters by the sea, with a few houses scattered here and there.

These few houses are now empty, the French government and the Belgian government have moved people away, and what is left in southern Africa is a real wasteland.

"My lord, as soon as I heard the news, I asked the company's architect to prepare a plan—" Christian did a good job of preparing, and immediately someone brought a rendering over after raising his hand.

"We can gather these scattered cemeteries to build a cemetery, and then build a monument. We can blow up all these barren hills, and then fill the sea with stones. At least fifteen to twenty square kilometers can be added. In the process, we can also build ports and wharves, and use this place as a distribution center for our southern African goods in Europe—” Christian’s plan is good, but the only disadvantage is that it will cost a lot, and the mountain of [-] square kilometers will be blown up. This is no ordinary generosity.

But after the bombing, 20 square kilometers will become 40 square kilometers, which is worth the price.

The explosives produced in Southern Africa during the World Wars have not been sold out yet, and the cost is actually very low.

"Then do it right away. If you need money, go to the Rand Bank." Rock is doing things now, and he no longer considers the issue of profit. Profit is what Rock has to consider.
