Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1268 Brotherly Love

Cyprus in February is the coldest time of the year, but it is still much warmer than Dartmouth.

Patton finished his studies at the Dartmouth Naval Academy and was going to follow the southern African delegation to the United States to attend the Washington Naval Conference. Now that there was plenty of time, Patton simply took Hannah, who was three months pregnant, through Cyprus. Return to Southern Africa.

Cyprus is the base camp of the League of Nations peacekeeping force, and Angie's headquarters is here.

Since Arthur was canonized as the Baron of Cyprus, Cyprus is now more and more prosperous.

Compared with Europe, where the economic downturn has not improved, Cyprus can be regarded as a piece of pure land. There are nearly 20 people in Cyprus, most of whom are families of peacekeepers and soldiers, and the smaller half are new immigrants who came to Cyprus during the World War.

The new immigrants in Cyprus are mainly Chinese laborers who came to Europe during the World War, as well as some Ottomans and Italians. The Ottomans brought wealth, and the Italians brought fashion and art. The small Cyprus has a colorful culture and architecture. Various styles, become a pearl in the Mediterranean.

When Barton and Hannah walked down the gangway, the car sent by Angie was parked at the pier.

Barton and Hannah got into the car, and the car started slowly, heading directly to the peacekeeping force headquarters on the outskirts of Niconia.

The Peacekeeping Force Command is the former site of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force Command located in Cyprus during the World War II.

Leaving the port area, the road suddenly opened up. The two-way six-lane standard is rare in Europe in this era.

The road connecting the port and Niconia is not only a road, but also a scenic railway next to it. This scenic railway circles the whole of Cyprus, and then passes through Niconia, connecting the two ports of Cyprus on the left and right. In general, the railway does not undertake the function of freight transportation, and the transportation of goods relies on transport ships.

The speed of the car was fast, and it entered the urban area of ​​Niconia in less than half an hour.

The residential areas on both sides of the road are quiet and peaceful. The streets are straight and tree-lined. There are large green spaces or forests everywhere. Street parks can be seen everywhere. Almost every park has fountains and sculptures.

During Roque's stay in Cyprus, the entire Niconia was torn down and rebuilt.

In Niconia now, schools, hospitals, large shopping malls, libraries, and cinemas are all available. The Cyprus Baron’s Mansion is located on the Karpas Peninsula far from Niconia.

Speaking of far, in fact, the distance is only 100 kilometers, and the whole of Cyprus is not big.

There is a beltway around Niconia, which should be regarded as a beltway according to the standards of the 21st century. Button really wanted to see Angie as soon as possible, but Hannah was not in a hurry, so the car drove through the city from the center of Niconia. Pass.

Entering the urban area, the number of vehicles suddenly increased, but the speed did not slow down. The passing vehicles were orderly and would actively avoid pedestrians. Few vehicles honked their horns in the urban area. Barton only found out after asking the officer on the co-pilot that the car was There is a fine for honking the horn in Niconia.

Like southern Africa, Niconia's vehicles also drive on the left, but the vehicles are right-handed, which is to facilitate the passengers sitting in the co-pilot to get on and off.

"There are only 20 people in Cyprus, and there are less than [-] people in Niconia. When the Lord was in Cyprus, he left a complete infrastructure for Cyprus. Many houses in the suburbs are prepared for foreigners. In the past two years, more and more More French and Italians immigrated to Cyprus." The officer sitting in the co-pilot was also of Chinese descent, and he was very grateful for Rock.

After the World War, most of the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force returned to southern Africa, but some officers and soldiers chose to stay and settle in Cyprus.

After the peacekeeping force decided to place the headquarters in Cyprus, Niconia became lively again. Like southern Africa, the families of officers in the peacekeeping force can accompany the army. Administered by the local government of Cyprus.

"Is it open to accept?" Patton is quite interested in Cyprus. Cyprus actually has a military port on the Karpas Peninsula in the northwest. Patton may also serve in Cyprus in the future.

"How is it possible—if you want to immigrate to Cyprus, you need to invest at least [-] rand in Cyprus. The houses we saw just now basically cost [-] rand per set." The expression on the officer's face was extremely proud. The Great War broke the status of southern Africa, and also destroyed the fear of southern Africans towards white Europeans.

When the car enters the city center, there is a huge square next to the road. It is said that the stone slabs on the ground of the square are all taken from the old town of Niconia. The name of this square is "Rock Square", but the center of the square is not Rock himself. It is not a statue, but a monument to the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force who died in the Mediterranean during the World Wars.

Patton also served in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force during the World War. At that time, he was sent to the Mediterranean Fleet by Rock as a liaison officer. It was Patton's first close contact with the British Royal Navy, which had dominated the world for hundreds of years.

It is a pity that the Royal Navy did not leave a good impression on Patton. Patton did not learn what he wanted from the Royal Navy. Instead, he learned more about the dark side of the Royal Navy. The long-standing myth was shattered, and he dominated the world for hundreds of years. It turned out to be nothing more than that.

The square is surrounded by a bustling business district. Cyprus is home to the headquarters of many southern African companies in Europe, such as Rand Bank, South African Company, Nyasaland Automobile, Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Group, and Rhodesia Hotel. Next to it is the Cape Department Store, which has just emerged in the past two years, and the logo of the Eternal store is extremely eye-catching.

"It feels like we came to Niconia from Dartmouth, like country bumpkins entering the city—" Hannah chuckled and leaned on Button's shoulder, describing it very aptly.

"Dartmouth only has a few people. A small city with a few thousand people is almost like a big village." Barton laughed dumbly. Compared with the lifeless Dartmouth, everything in Niconia is extremely vivid and thriving.

The officer on the co-pilot did not interrupt, with a proud smile on his lips. He knew Patton's identity. After the newly promoted major general returned to southern Africa, he would become the captain of the first heavy cruiser in the southern African navy. There is also a speaker of the Southern African National Congress standing there. With this identity, he can walk sideways even in the UK.

Passing by the side of the square, there is a commercial street in front of the car. Even in the daytime, the signs on the storefronts are still on. The colorful lights decorate the whole street colorfully. Cafes and small bars put tables on the street. Under the shade of the trees next to it, there are brightly colored parasols on the table. The waiters are wearing white shirts and black bow ties at the necklines. Their smiles are very cheerful, just like the weather in Cyprus, which is sunny.

Across the commercial street, there is a quiet and peaceful residential area. The buildings in Niconia are not high. Even the buildings around Rock Square rarely exceed 20 meters. The residential area here is not that densely built. A large area of ​​single-family villas spread out, the Mediterranean Sea, the name is so romantic, the outside of the stone building must be painted with paint, the blue roof and white walls are matched with green trees and Clean air, no wonder it costs [-] rand a set.

Like the Mediterranean Expeditionary Command before it, the peacekeeping force's headquarters is located in a valley on the outskirts of Niconia.

There is a meandering stream between the two mountains, the flowing water is clear to the bottom, there are red and white fish shuttling between the dark green stone crevices, and on the bank of the river are a few fishers with their trouser legs rolled up and holding dip nets. A boy, a little girl with a red bucket is eagerly looking forward to it, and there are a few water dogs wagging their tails beside them, full of enthusiasm.

Hannah looked at the children, her face was full of a mother-in-law's radiant smile, and she put her hands on her belly unconsciously.

Barton took the initiative to embrace Hannah. The young couple are now in harmony with each other, and their relationship is very good.

In order to accompany Barton to study, Hannah voluntarily gave up her job.

Now that she has a child, in the next two or three years, Hannah is expected to be tied up at home, and this sacrifice deserves to be treated more carefully.

After passing the gate of the camp guarded by armored vehicles, the car went all the way to An Qi's office.

An Qi, who was wearing a general's uniform, was already waiting in front of the door. Seeing Patton getting off the car, An Qi laughed and opened her arms to meet him.

The two brothers embraced warmly, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, An Qi looked at Hannah triumphantly.

"Old man, you got married earlier than me, and your child is not as old as mine. Your son will call my son brother in the future." An Qi's son was just born in Nyasaland last month, and Qiao Jingyan originally followed An Qi. Qi was in Cyprus. After she became pregnant, Anton was worried about the lack of medical care in Cyprus, so he simply took Qiao Jingyan back to Nyasaland to raise her baby.

If the old man has a grandson, under normal circumstances the status of the son will plummet.

"What did you call me?" Barton remained calm.

"Old Ba——" An Qi took it for granted, she was about to become a father, so it was normal to be called "Old Ba".

"Oh—" Barton's expression was leisurely.

An Qi reacted immediately, and then turned her face.

"Dog, take advantage of me as soon as we meet—"

"Tsk, you can't refuse to send it to your door—"

Hannah shook her head and was speechless. She was keen on asking her friends to call her "Dad". It was very common among little boys. Both of them were already in their thirties, and they were still so childish. Is it really okay to be in front of the guards?

However, the relationship between the two is really good. When an old friend came to visit, An Qi finished work ahead of time and went straight to get off work to eat, drink and play with her.

Hannah was very impressed with the Locke Square in the center of Niconia, so An Qi simply changed into casual clothes and accompanied Hannah to the city center with Barton for shopping.

No matter how affectionate brothers are, they are not as important as wives.
