Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1272 The Flag

To be precise, it is not the lack of arms and legs, but the kind of being chopped off directly from the elbow. This is a punishment method that has been passed from the Congo Free State to Portuguese West Africa. Many planters will be killed in this way because of a trivial matter. Chicken scaring monkeys, of course, also has the meaning of making fun.

There are more than 3 people, both male and female, who are indeed adult workers. Many of them are only fifteen or sixteen years old. The average life expectancy of Africans is very low, and fifteen or sixteen years old is considered an adult.

What really made Qusay angry was that most of these 3 people were severely malnourished, skinny and pale, and could not engage in heavy labor without a few months of recuperation.

Luanda didn't care what Qusay thought, he was leading the people to receive the weapons.

One hundred boxes of Lee Enfield, ten in each box, were neatly packed in the box after being wrapped in oiled paper, and hay was filled in the middle of the oiled paper to prevent bumps.

Luanda couldn't wait to take out a Lee Enfield. The black barrel exudes a faint smell of gun oil. The walnut handle has clear texture and is brushed with tung oil. The weapons produced by Nyasaland are indeed well-deserved and of high quality. , Precise and reliable.

"Sir—" One of Luanda's subordinates was also holding a handful of Lee Enfield, approaching Luanda with a low voice, staring at Qusay not far away, like a hungry wolf.

It's normal to be black and black. In order to receive these weapons smoothly, Luanda brought more than 600 people, while Qusay's men had less than 100 people. In terms of numbers, Luanda has an absolute advantage.

Luanda shook his head slightly. Although the number of people in Qusay was small, there were two armored vehicles parked at the gate of the camp, and there were general-purpose machine guns and grenade launchers with tripods installed on the towers around the camp. It was really going to be a fight. Hundreds of people are really not enough to watch.

"Sir, these Lee Enfields are all old—" Another of Luanda's subordinates found out the trick, and angrily complained to Luanda.

"Old one?" Luanda was surprised and pulled the bolt, and indeed smelled the faint smell of gunpowder.

"Nimma——" Luanda couldn't bear it. Three people exchanged for a gun, and it was still an old one. This is not bullying.

So Luanda came to Qusay angrily.

Qusay was also in a bad mood, so he wasn't too angry.

"What's wrong with the old one? Even the old one can be used. If it is really unusable, it will not be sealed at all, but will be scrapped directly-no matter how old it is, at least it can start. Look at what you sent me. I have to raise them for half a year before I can send them out to make money, this time it’s fine, if it happens again next time, then our deal will be cancelled.” Kusai is quite sensible, everyone’s first time Cooperate, lay an ambush between each other, that's fine, open the skylight and speak honestly, no one is a fool.

"Hahahaha, interesting enough, happy cooperation, next time you get me some general-purpose machine guns and grenade launchers, I'll buy them with gold—" Luanda's face-changing speed is surprising. Some do.

The transaction between Luanda and Qusay was soon reported to Eagle Fort.

Rock is still very concerned about Yaya. In name, Southern Africa did "send all Africans out of the country", but a large part of them were sent to Upper Katanga and Lower Katanga. During the World War, southern Africa The African soldiers in the African Expeditionary Force made great sacrifices. Roque still took care of the disabled or the families of the soldiers who died in battle. They were all placed in Upper and Lower Katanga, and Yaya took good care of them.

In fact, there is no need for special care, just find a place to settle them down, do not bully, do not oppress, give them full freedom, give them a certain guarantee, this is the best care.

"Tell Yaya that we can increase our support for Luanda, and now let him give up some places and send some umbrella mercenaries over there." Rock is happy to see the result, there are still many African mercenaries in the umbrella, and he will be transferred. One or two thousand, go to West Africa to occupy a piece of land, if Luanda dares to turn his face, then kill Luanda directly and find a new spokesperson.

"Just annex West Africa directly, 100 million square kilometers—" Sidney Milner was radical. West Africa used to be 124 million square kilometers. About ten years ago, because of the conflict with Rhodesia, part of the territory was ceded to Roma. Desia, now there are only 100 million square kilometers left.

100 million is not small, and the area of ​​Victoria is only 100 million.

By the way, after Philip failed to recover the rights of Bloemfontein and Cape Town, he proposed a new idea to split the relatively large states in southern Africa into smaller states, such as an area of ​​100 million square kilometers Victoria can be split into East Victoria and West Victoria.

The state of Dias, which covers an area of ​​82 square kilometers, is split into Upper Dias and Lower Dias.

As for Nyasaland and Rhodesia, how to divide depends on what Rock and Stoudemire think.

This is actually good for Nyasaland and Rhodesia. If one state is divided into two states, the number of congressional seats can be doubled, which is more conducive to expanding influence.

However, this proposal was opposed by Orange and Cape States. The total area of ​​the Orange Free State is about 18 square kilometers, and there is nothing to dismantle it.

The total area of ​​Cape State is not large. Even if it is split into two states, it is estimated that there will only be one or two more seats, which will not have much effect.

The Cape State in this time and space is different from South Africa in another time and space. South Africa in another time and space includes Orange and Transvaal, with a total area of ​​122 million square kilometers.

The Cape State in this time and space is about the same size as it was before the outbreak of the Second Boer War. Excluding Orange and the Transvaal, the total area is actually just over 50 square kilometers, which is not as large as the Bechuanaland State. .

"It doesn't make sense, just like the current Kingdom of Mozambique, we don't need to directly annex the Kingdom of Mozambique, we can directly obtain various resources of the Kingdom of Mozambique, and we don't have to be responsible for the welfare of the local people, and we don't need to invest in local infrastructure. Well? It's a complete burden." Rock doesn't want to annex West Africa, but it is necessary to split West Africa into several smaller countries.

Compared with Southern Africa, which has a total area of ​​550 million, the area of ​​West Africa is indeed too large. Rock's ideal West Africa is best split into three or four different countries, each of which is 30 million square kilometers. , which is more conducive to the control of southern Africa.

This is the case with the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo. The combined area of ​​these two countries is more than 150 million square kilometers in name, and the actual control area is only more than 80 points. The other areas are all controlled by the South African company and Nyasaland company.

It is not directly controlled, but controlled in the form of holding companies. For example, Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd., South Africa Company and Nyasaland Company each account for 40.00%, and the rest is divided among other companies.

"Then do you want to set up a West African company?" Sidney Milner drew inferences. Since there is a South African company and a Nyasaland company, it seems normal to create a West African company.

"It's already there - [-]% of the shares are yours -" Rock never treats his own people badly.

"Thank you—" Sidney Milner couldn't help but laugh.

Don't think too little, Winston, Neville, and Owen are only 30.00%, the bulk must belong to Roque and Stoudemire, the South African company and Nyasaland company each account for [-]%[-], followed by the umbrella company's [-]% [-]/[-], and the rest was taken by the Rand Bank.

Word got back to Chimbalanga, and Qusay's request changed immediately.

gold?

What gold, don't want gold, southern Africa has a lot of gold, and the land is king.

This time, Luanda bought general-purpose machine guns and grenade launchers, as well as fifty mortars, with a total price of more than 70 rand.

Based on this price, Qusay offered Luanda a price of 15 square kilometers, which is roughly the Kameya area controlled by Luanda.

"The entire area east of the Kuilu River? You must be crazy. I can't agree to such a request. Also, it costs 70 yuan for such a small thing. You are blackmailing me!" Jumping up like a cat with its butt burned, the price of 70 is indeed a bit expensive, while the price of land is a bit low.

The area to the east of the Kuilu River has a total area of ​​over 14. Kusai doesn't care about the details. If you lose a little, you will lose a little. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.

"Ruanda, do you think the price of a general-purpose machine gun and a grenade launcher is the same as a rifle? Don't be stupid, I have already given you a lot of discounts, and you don't have to worry, now the east of the Kuilu River is still yours, until you feel that it is already Possesses the strength to attack other regions—serious brother, you are rebelling, you need time to train troops, and the colonial government also needs time to mobilize troops from the mainland, you can’t sleep on the report card—” Ku Don’t worry, Portuguese West Africa is the largest surviving colony of the Portuguese colonial empire. The Portuguese government is unwilling to give up and is forming an expeditionary force in the country to try to quell the Kameya rebellion.

The Portuguese colonial empire was the first worldwide empire in world history, and it was also the earliest and longest-lasting colonial empire, with an area of ​​1040 million square kilometers in its heyday.

The empire is now falling apart, and in 1910 Portugal introduced a parliamentary system and completely abolished the monarchy.

Look at this time, is it familiar?

Yes, not long after the collapse of Portuguese East Africa, Portugal abolished the monarchy.

Now Portuguese West Africa is also beginning to collapse. I don't know what the Portuguese will do this time.

Overthrow the parliament too and learn from the Russians?

Then play big and lose the protection of other European countries. It is estimated that Spain will annex Portugal in minutes.

"Okay, I promise you, this is the last time, I will never give up an inch of land in the future." Luanda set up a flag, this is not a good thing, people who set up flags casually will probably be slapped in the face every minute.

Like a fish head.

ps: You don’t need to vomit, I will help you vomit, the official vomit is the deadliest——
