Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1279 Upgrade

Congo Republic, Boma.

Since the acquisition of Soyo, the importance of Boma has been decreasing. Now Soyo is the largest city in the Republic of Congo, but the capital is still Boma.

During the period of Leopold II, Boma was already the second largest city in the Congo Free State, second only to Leopoldville.

During the civil war in the Congo Free State, the Boma was severely damaged. After the establishment of the Republic of the Congo, Isaiah Chamberlain learned the way of building cities in southern Africa and remodeled the Boma. A little garden city.

The Presidential Palace of the Republic of Congo is located on the outskirts of Boma. It was originally a palace owned by Leopold II. After the establishment of the Republic of Congo, the palace was confiscated by the Republic of Congo and became the official residence of the President.

The Republic of Congo's decision to build an arsenal also caused huge controversy in the Republic of Congo.

The focus of the controversy is not whether an arsenal should be established, but whether it should be established now. Although the machines have been shipped in New York, the voice of opposition is still huge.

"Nyasaland's attitude is very clear. We don't want to see us set up an arsenal. It is irrational to provoke Nyasaland now. Southern Africa has not been affected by the economic crisis. Look at West Africa now. You must not want the Republic of Congo to , and fell into chaos just like West Africa.” The Speaker of the National Assembly, Hayden McAdam, firmly opposed it. He relied on the support of the Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. to be elected as the Speaker of the National Assembly, and his inclination towards southern Africa was obvious.

"Mr. Speaker, the machine has been shipped in New York. What we are going to discuss now is whether to put the arsenal in Boma or Soyo." Isaiah Chamberlain is ambitious. Fight for more rights.

"You all made mistakes, why did the Americans sell the machines to us, think about it—" Hayden McAdam didn't like the United States, the Americans sold the machines to the Republic of Congo at a much lower price than normal, this It's not normal in itself.

"This is the support of the United States. Southern Africa can't give us what we want. The United States can establish diplomatic relations with us at the ambassadorial level. Isn't that what you want?" Isaac Pencey also hopes to get rid of the southern African control.

During the World War, the Republic of Congo sent two divisions to Europe to participate in the war. These two divisions were disabled many times and rebuilt many times. The Republic of Congo died a total of nearly 5 people.

After the end of the world war, the Republic of Congo was recognized by the international community, and Belgium was forced to recognize the independence of the Republic of Congo, which greatly stimulated the ambitions of Isaiah Chamberlain and Isaac Pansy.

"Mr. Speaker, you are a citizen of the Republic of Congo, not a citizen of southern Africa. You must always remember this." The Minister of Defense of the Republic of Congo, Birel Page, also participated in the World War. Through the World War, the Republic of Congo gained a batch of Elite officers and soldiers, this gave Birel Page enough confidence.

After the world war, the Republic of Congo army expanded to 10 people. Because of the support of southern Africa, the Republic of Congo army was equipped with advanced Lee Enfield and general-purpose machine guns. Perhaps it is for this reason that Bilal Page believes that the Republic of Congo Can compete with Southern Africa.

At least that's what Billel Page thinks so.

"I always remember this, so I can't just sit and watch you drag the Republic of Congo into the abyss. Have you considered how serious the consequences will be if you offend Southern Africa." Hayden McAdam bitterly, Republic of Congo By providing various resources to southern Africa, the national strength has improved, and this should not spoil the good situation.

"Mr. Speaker, this is a business practice of a businessman and has nothing to do with us." Isaiah Chamberlain thought he had a perfect excuse.

"Then you'd better think of a way to make Earl Matilda and Marquis Nyasaland believe your words." Haydn McAdam dismissed it, this reason is not convincing.

"If it weren't for the Marquis of Nyasaland, our Republic of Congo would have developed better than it is now." Birel Page complained full of complaints, referring to the Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd.

Katanga, Kivu, and Lomami leased by Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. add up to nearly 40 square kilometers.

These 40 square kilometers, the storage of mineral resources, account for more than 90.00% of the total domestic resources of the Republic of Congo. Even the diamond mines in Kasai are occupied by the Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. The government of the Republic of Congo can levy taxes, but the tax rate low to almost negligible.

This is the tragedy of a weak country.

"Bilrell, pay attention to what you say. You should know what kind of uproar your words will cause if it gets out." Hayden McAdam said harshly. cause serious consequences.

"Mr. Speaker, can't you even speak now?" Billel Page was furious. In his opinion, Hayden McAdam was too weak when facing southern Africa.

"Okay gentlemen, it's just a factory, there's no need to take it so seriously." Isaiah Chamberlain tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that some people don't think so." Billel Page was annoyed.

The meeting did not reach any consensus. After returning home, Haydn McAdam called his son into the study.

"You are going to go to Nyasaland immediately, and show your attitude to the Marquis of Nyasaland. Some of us are too much, and they will kill us all." Haydn McAdam has his own contact channel .

"The situation is serious?" Liandel McAdam is 40 years old this year. He has two trading companies under his name, dealing in timber and stone respectively. Most of the products are sold to southern Africa.

"Very seriously, the Marquis of Nyasaland will not allow the Republic of Congo to follow the Nyasaland-style development path, at least not now—" Haydn McAdam has his own ideals, but Haydn McAdam himself should be Can't see it anymore.

"I really don't understand. The quality of the weapons and ammunition produced by Nyasaland is reliable, and the price they sell to us is not expensive. Is it really necessary to organize the production by ourselves? We don't even have enough skilled workers—" Leander believes that manufacturing is not as good as Buying is worse than renting.

"Leander, that's not the case. Isaiah and Isaac are actually right, they're just out of time." Haydn looked at Leander with disappointment.

"Sir, Mr. Bradley has arrived—" the butler knocked on the door to announce that Bradley was the ambassador of Southern Africa to the Republic of Congo. After the Paris Peace Conference, Southern Africa and the Republic of Congo finally established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.

"Ask him to come to the study—" Haydn cheered up. Bradley's visit at this time was probably for the arsenal.

Sure enough, after Bradley and Haydn met, they exchanged some pleasantries and then asked Haydn about his attitude towards the arsenal.

"I definitely don't agree, but I'm old and my influence on Boma is limited. I will do my best to prevent the completion of the factory." Haydn frowned, and Bradley's expression was not relaxed.

"So, Mr. President and Your Excellency the Prime Minister both agree with the establishment of an arsenal?" Bradley did not expect the leader of the Republic of Congo to be so radical.

"There is also Defense Minister Bilel, this guy is going crazy." Haydn also couldn't understand, no matter how he thought, there would be people trying to challenge southern Africa after the World War.

"Okay, Your Excellency Speaker, Count Matilda asked me to convey his greetings to you. I hope you can visit southern Africa in the near future. Count Matilda has some questions that need to be discussed with you face to face." Bradley Send an invitation to Haydn.

"It's an honor—" Haydn readily agreed, but at the same time, there was a faint expectation in his heart.

Haydn is actually not too old now, and in the political field, there is actually a possibility to go further.

What Hayden didn't know was that after Bradley returned to the southern African embassy in Boma, he immediately used the telegram in the embassy to report to southern Africa and invited Douglas, the head of Brad's office in the Republic of Congo, to dinner .

Douglas is a British descendant born in southern Africa. He participated in the World War. After the World War, he retired and came to Brad's office to work. Then he was sent to the Republic of Congo.

Dinner was held in a restaurant not far from Haydn's residence. Haydn did not take a car, but walked to the restaurant.

As the speaker, Haydn lived in a noble residential area in Boma, where there were police patrolling all the time, and the law and order was in good condition.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, the economy of the Republic of Congo was also affected to some extent, and the public security situation also deteriorated. The Boma Police Department stepped up patrols in wealthy areas. Relatively speaking, the security situation in wealthy areas is quite good.

On the way to the restaurant, Haydn kept thinking about how to solve the problem of the arsenal.

The easiest way is to build the arsenal, but not put it into use, so that it will not stimulate southern Africa, and it can also give an explanation to the radicals in the Republic of Congo.

I just don’t know if Isaiah and Isaac will agree to this plan, Bielel Page will definitely not agree, but Bielel Page’s influence is limited, without the support of the president and prime minister, Birel Lele Page did nothing either.

In the evening, Boma has just had a light rain, and the air is very fresh.

Someone came across from Haydn, who seemed to know Haydn and greeted Haydn warmly.

"Hehe, hello—" Haydn responded politely.

The smile on the man's face suddenly became ferocious, he took out a pistol from his pocket, and fired three shots at Haydn.

Bah—— bah——

Haydn immediately fell into a pool of blood.

The secretary and guard who were ten meters away behind Haydn had no time to react. As soon as the guard pulled out his gun, the assassin turned around and ran away, quickly disappearing without a trace.
