Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1336 The Forgotten Person

After the World War, the United States did not pay veterans' pensions in a timely manner, as well as pensions for disabled soldiers during the World War.

During World War I, the average daily salary of American soldiers was about one dollar a day. Because they were all fighting overseas, overseas allowances were added, so an additional 25 cents a day was subsidized.

At that time, the United States had a total of 480 million troops including the reserves. After the United States entered the war, nearly 200 million American troops arrived in Europe to participate in the war.

250 million a day, not a month.

During World War I, the United States lost about 12 people and nearly 30 were injured.

After the end of the World War, the United States, which voluntarily gave up compensation and did not join the League of Nations, received almost nothing. Coupled with the outbreak of the economic crisis, the U.S. government could not even pay pensions and pensions, so it introduced such a plan, promising that after 20 years , and then distribute the money to the veterans, one thousand dollars each.

What the U.S. government did not expect was that with the outbreak of the economic crisis, a large number of workers lost their jobs, and many poor veterans lived in difficulty. Seeing that the whole family was going to starve to death, they could not wait 20 years to get the money, so tens of thousands of veterans dragged their families Take a petition to Washington, and set up camp in the lowlands across the Anacosti River, near Capitol Hill.

These veterans who have shed blood for the United States never imagined that the U.S. government used cavalry, armored vehicles, tanks, tear gas and other weapons to persuade these veterans to leave Washington. The veterans scattered in all directions. During the operation, four people were killed and dozens were injured.

At that time, MacArthur, Eisenhower, and Patton were in command of the American troops.

The Barton in the United States is not the Patton in southern Africa.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for the United States to recruit millions of people to join the army.

The soldiers in southern Africa are all elite professional soldiers who have participated in the world war.

If there is a war between southern Africa and the United States, it is really hard to say who will help those veterans in the United States who are depressed and have just been brutally treated by the US government.

Of course, Pershing would definitely not say these words.

After the world war, the U.S. government had the money to build more than a dozen battleships at the same time, but it didn't have the money to pay veterans' pensions.

As the commander-in-chief of the US military during the World Wars, do you think Pershing had any complaints against the US government in his heart?

My California boys, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-

"That is to say, the Southern African Army can pose enough threats to us." Newton Dill Baker Jr. said it more euphemistically, but in fact he couldn't beat it.

In a real fight, the U.S. Army probably won't be able to beat the Southern African Army.

"Yes, to be precise, we cannot defeat the Southern African Army." Pershing also said in a more euphemistic way, but "invincible", did not say that we will definitely lose, maybe we will not lose or win——

Oops, the American version of "repeated defeats and repeated battles" has a sense of sight.

"John, you have to have faith—" Joseph Daniels spoke without backache standing up.

Pershing looked at Joseph Daniels coldly, cursing MMP in his heart. If Congress can give me 2 million, I will be very confident.

The newly-built "Tennessee" class battleships built by the United States after the World War cost 2200 million U.S. dollars each, equivalent to about 400 million pounds, which is much cheaper than the "Hood" battlecruiser, which cost 610 million pounds.

Newton Dill Baker Jr. is tired. Battleships are indeed powerful, but battleships cannot go ashore. If the United States goes to war with southern Africa, the new tanks of the southern African army will go all the way south from New York State, heading straight for Washington, just like the Second War of Independence. By the time--

Newton Dill Baker Jr. felt the White House needed to get the paint ready sooner.

"Can you think of a way to make Canada reject the southern African troops—" Newton Dill Baker Jr. was whimsical.

"This is Britain's internal affairs—" Pershing felt a little happy in his heart, let you cross the river and demolish bridges, let you unload mills and kill donkeys, let you finish reading scriptures, beat monks and scold cooks after eating, let you employ people forward and not backward— —

Live it!

But what the hell, I'm also an American——

Thinking about it this way, Perxing really couldn't be happier.

"Southern Africa wants to set up a military base in the Bahamas, which seriously threatens the security of our United States, and we must resolutely oppose it." Joseph Daniels is also itchy when he thinks about it. What is this for?North and South attack?They're all so crazy.

"Mexico also intends to lease Cozumel to southern Africa." Pershing's bad news is more than one.

Cozumel is an island in the Caribbean Sea, covering an area of ​​489 square kilometers, located at the junction of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

If Britain gives the Bahamas to Southern Africa, then Mexico leases Cozumel to Southern Africa.

In this way, Southern Africa has the ability to block the entire Gulf of Mexico at any time.

"The Mexicans have not learned enough lessons. It is very necessary for our fleet to go to the Gulf of Mexico." Joseph Daniels was full of domineering, and he didn't think about it. It was not that Mexico had not learned enough lessons, but that the United States bullied Mexico. too harsh.

"John, move troops to the US-Canada border - Joseph, step up your focus on Nova Scotia - remember, don't fire the first shot, don't give the British and Southern Africans an excuse." Newton Deal, Jr. Baker assigns tasks.

Pershing and Joseph Daniels were stupefied. If they didn't fire the first shot, why would they still need to shoot?

Could it be that the lives of southern Africans are already in danger when they hit the door, and they can't fire the first shot?

If the soldiers are all so restrained, they might as well retire and go home with their wives and children on the bed.

Newton Dill Baker Jr. was a civil servant, and he didn't know how much trouble his words would cause Pershing and Joseph Daniels. No matter, Mexico can still take care of it.

Just when the United States was seeking countermeasures, Arthur and Gavin had already arrived in Halifax.

Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia, with an area of ​​5490 square kilometers and a population of less than [-], mainly concentrated in the area around the port.

Calculating that there are less than ten people per square kilometer, it can already be regarded as a densely populated area in Canada.

"Would you like to go treasure hunting? Legend has it that Oak Island has pirate treasures. You can try your luck." Arthur knew what Gavin liked.

There is Oak Island 3 miles off the east coast of Nova Scotia. It used to be the lair of pirates in the 17th century. Legend has it that there are pirate treasures on the island. For hundreds of years, Oak Island has attracted the attention of many treasure hunters from all over the world.

"Are there any pirates?" Gavin was really interested.

Arthur was speechless, it was the 20th century, and there were so many pirates.

Well, Arthur has never been to Somalia.

"It would be great if there were pirates, we can raid the pirate's lair, then take the pirate back and hang him on the pier—" Gavin's absolute violence, pirates, treasures, spirits, beauties—

Oh, it's exciting to think about it, what kind of police are you writing about, and the next one is about pirates.

While talking, Arthur and Gavin came to the army camp next to the port of Halifax.

Canada is absolutely vast and sparsely populated, so the army camp covers a fairly large area, with a total area of ​​more than ten square kilometers. There are barracks, warehouses, living quarters, and sturdy hexagonal bunkers.

After the withdrawal of the British troops, the military base was handed over to the Canadian military.

It is obvious that the management of the Canadian military is a bit poor. A large piece of the outer wall of the base has fallen off, and the glass of the entrance guard box has been broken and has not been repaired in time. Of course, there are no guards in the guard box. The gate of the base is locked. Someone responded, so Qin Dian got a piece of wire from somewhere, and easily opened the lock.

With this technology, even if you retire, you won't be afraid of running out of food.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the gentleman on the beam, but the lockpicking expert.

The inside of the base looks more desolate than the outside of the base.

The entrance is a huge square. There are landscape trees planted around the square. Probably because no one has managed it for a long time, the growth of the landscape trees is a bit crazy, and the ground is also damaged. The grass is growing tenaciously in the gaps, and the bushes in the distance , All the while the wild cat jumped out suddenly, saw a large group of people in front of him in a daze, turned around and jumped into the bushes again, rustling and disappearing.

"Is anyone—is anyone—is——" Gavin's voice was loud, and the long echo fully showed that there seemed to be no one.

Arthur smiled bitterly, and was about to turn around when he heard a loud shout.

"Who? How did you get in?"

It was amazing that there were people.

Before Gavin replied, Fang Mao stood in front of Gavin calmly.

Over there, Qin Dian's hand was already on the handle of the gun, fully alert.

"Who's there?" Arthur asked loudly.

"I should be the one who asked you, who are you and how did you get in?" A person quietly turned out from the corner of the next room, with a sheepskin hat, sheepskin jacket, and sheepskin boots——

It's unlucky for the sheep to meet such a person.

"I am Qin Dian, the captain of the Baron of Cyprus' guard. Who are you?" Qin Dian's body tensed up like a drawn bow.

The man held an American Springfield rifle in his hand.

"The Baron of Cyprus—British?" The guy with the Springfield was at a loss, feeling like he was out of touch with society.

"Yes, British." Qin Dian said in a low voice, his hand was still on the handle of the gun, ready to be pulled out at any time.

"God, at least the British Empire has not forgotten Halifax—" Springfield burst into tears, the rifle landed quietly, and he covered his face and knelt on the ground trembling.

Qin Dian was surprised. When he walked to Chuntian, he found that there was a vegetable field behind this row of houses. There were some sheep and some chickens on the grass next to the vegetable field. At the door of the house farther away, a woman also holding a rifle was also there. Fully alert, two small heads poked out from the door behind him, their eyes full of curiosity.

ps: Some people say that emotional dramas are not well written—oh, how should I put it, ugly guys never know how handsome guys fall in love——
