Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1409
The older generation of southern Africans were deeply impressed by military control. After the Second Boer War, southern Africa had experienced military control for about three years. It was not until the situation stabilized that the colonial government at that time gradually released the military control in various places. manage.

Strictly speaking, the current state of Victoria and Dias is actually under military control. After all, Victoria and Dias have not officially joined Southern Africa, but are mandated territories in Southern Africa.

As the name implies, military control is a special form of compulsory management and control in which the military takes over government power under special circumstances and implements a special form of compulsory management and control over the whole country or some regions, certain industries, and individual departments.

St. John's Port is not the largest port in Southern Africa, not even the largest port in Cape State. If the Ministry of Defense decides to impose military control on St. John's Port, it will not have much impact on Cape State, but for Rich Dew Er's influence is more serious.

"Cape State has the ability to eliminate McClell's rebels and does not need the help of the federal government." Rich Dewar is still stubborn, he can't afford the consequences of St. John's Port being controlled by the military. In that case, Rich Dewar Yule's political career would come to an end.

"Of course, we believe in the capabilities of the Cape State government. The Ministry of Defense took over St. John's Port to prevent the rebels from receiving support. The Edward Fleet will not intervene without the Cape State government's request." Jackson Marshall sneered Well, if the Cape State government had this ability, the rebels would not have developed to the present level.

"What do you mean?" Rich Dewar's face was livid, and Jackson Marshall's words hit Rich Dewar's sore spot.

Even if Galbraith had stashed some weapons, it was not enough to arm thousands of rebels.

Intelligence from Brad's office indicated that Galbraith was doing everything possible to purchase weapons, and as the closest port to McClell, St. John's Port was an important channel for McClell's rebels to obtain supplies. This was also the time when Jackson Marshall came to St. Port John's true purpose.

"Mr. Mayor, that's what you understand—" Jackson Marshall was so busy that he didn't have time to talk nonsense with Rich Dewar. In just a short while, nearly a thousand marines had already landed. There are also more and more supplies.

"I will sue the state government for your actions!" Rich Dewar was furious.

"Whatever!" Jackson Marshall is not afraid. Regardless of the fact that Cape Town is the judicial capital of southern Africa, the Cape State government does not have much influence on the Ministry of Justice. Want to sue the Ministry of Defense?
Let's go through Henry's level first.

In fact, there was no need for Rich Dewar's threat. When the Edward Fleet took over St. John's Port, the Cape State Government sent a stern telegram to the Federal Government, asking the Federal Government to respect the rights of the Cape State Government and withdraw immediately. Edward Fleet.

"What should I do? Edmond Lauco said that if the federal government does not stop interfering with the Cape State government, then the Cape State government will bring the lawsuit to London." Henry laughed, probably Edmund Law also knew about the relationship between Rock and Henry, so he simply leapfrogged to London to sue.

This possibility is not impossible. Although southern Africa is self-governing, the British government has not given up control of southern Africa and has been trying to increase its influence in southern Africa.

In the past, southern Africa was monolithic under the painstaking efforts of Ader, and the influence of the British government was getting smaller and smaller.

Now if the Cape State government really brings the lawsuit to London, it will be a big gift to London.

"I think it's enough to bring Edmund Law to court." Rock is cruel, and Edmund Law's behavior can be called traitorous.

It's a pity that there is no similar provision in the laws of southern Africa, and the people in the Legislative Department don't know what they are doing.

Regardless of whether the United Kingdom and the United States talk about the "separation of powers", the most thorough implementation of the separation of powers still depends on southern Africa.

The "separation of powers" in the United Kingdom and the United States is only at the level of rhetoric. If you look at southern Africa, even the capital has three, responsible for "legislative, judicial, and administrative" respectively. This is the only one in the world who dares to play like this.

The starting point of the three capitals is good, but the consequences are also very serious. It didn’t seem obvious before, but now with the increasing development of southern Africa, the inconvenience brought by the three capitals is becoming more and more obvious.

"You shouldn't have sent the Edward Fleet to St. John's, and let the Cape State government make a fuss on their own. When they can't go on, wouldn't it be easier for you to take over." Henry is really ruthless.

Rock didn't speak, and if he really wanted to let the rebels grow up, the Cape people would be hurt in the end. Rock would never allow this to happen.

The conflict between the Cape State government and the federal government will definitely not let the Cape people pay the bill in the end. After all, the small person of the Cape State government cannot represent the entire Cape.

"My lord, the Prime Minister's telegram—" Fitch looked serious.

In the telegram, Philip asked Rock to act quickly to end McClair's rebellion, and that McClair's rebels could not be allowed to create greater chaos.

On this issue, Philip's attitude is consistent with Rock's.

After reading it, Rock handed the telegram to Henry, and then told Fitch: "Send a telegram to General Marshall, ordering him to act immediately—"

With Philip's order, Rock can be considered to have obtained Shang Fang's sword.

"I have to go back and prepare for the trial of Edmund Law. This time, I must send this guy to court." Henry's six relatives denied that Edmund Law was also from the Liberal Party, and he was from the same camp as Rock and Henry.

In fact, when Rock received Philip's telegram, Jackson Marshall had already begun to order the Air Force to conduct a reconnaissance of McClell in preparation for subsequent military operations.

Although the aircraft carrier in southern Africa has not yet been commissioned, the naval aviation force has been established. Nyasaland Aviation has further improved on the basis of the naval aircraft, and the new generation of naval fighter jets has been named "Eagle".

Compared with the naval fighters made for the United Kingdom in southern Africa during the World War II, the Eagle fighter has a longer range, a larger ammunition capacity, and a faster speed. It is a grade higher overall, and its performance is about 30.00% higher.

In addition to the Eagle fighter jets, Nyasaland Air has also sent two helicopters which are in the testing phase.

After the helicopter was successfully developed, the team was disbanded on the spot, and Rock selected some people to form a helicopter research institute to further improve the helicopter.

With the guidance of Rock, the golden finger, the helicopter research in southern Africa has been on the right path from the very beginning, with almost no detours, and now it has preliminary combat capabilities.

"We have installed aviation machine guns and rockets on the helicopter. This rocket is a new weapon just developed by the military industry department. It is powerful, powerful, easy to use, and has a good effect on ground attacks-the role of the helicopter It’s not just a ground attack, it can play a huge role in anti-submarine, reconnaissance and cover, fire support, air transportation, and transport of the wounded—” The chief engineer of the Helicopter Research Institute is Mapulo from Nyasaland Military Industry. I also came to St. John's Port once, the purpose is to verify the performance of the helicopter in combat.

"Anti-submarine?" Jackson Marshall was not interested in reconnaissance and cover, but he still attached great importance to anti-submarine.

During the World War, the outstanding performance of the German submarine force caused huge losses to Britain.

After the end of the World War, the British military industry departments have taken anti-submarine as the main research direction, and southern Africa is of course no exception.

"Yes, helicopters are also very good at anti-submarine. We installed sonar on the helicopter to detect the sea surface. If we find a submarine, we can directly use depth charges to attack it. Once the submarine is discovered by the helicopter , there is almost nowhere to escape." Mapulo is full of confidence. In the previous experiments, the performance of the helicopter was amazing, and it performed amazingly in many fields. It is an excellent all-rounder.

"How far is the range of the helicopter, and can it reach McClair?" Jackson Marshall still had doubts, and he did not fully understand the role of the helicopter.

"Yes, McClair is less than 110 kilometers away from St. John's Port, completely within the combat range of the helicopter." Ma Puluo looked confident, and then changed the subject: "—but now it is not possible to send a helicopter to fight alone. Helicopters can only be dispatched with the cooperation of ground forces.”

"Why?" Jackson Marshall was disappointed.

"We still have some problems that haven't been completely solved." Ma Puluo is confident, the helicopter is not in perfect condition yet, and needs to be continuously improved to meet Rock's requirements for the helicopter.

Jackson Marshall nodded. I understand. To put it bluntly, we can't count on it now. The solution to the problem still depends on the ground troops.

Just when Jackson Marshall hadn't invested in ground troops, the Cape State government finally took action.

On February 2, 11 National Guard soldiers mobilized by the Cape State government, led by Mackenzie, also arrived in St. John's Port, preparing to attack McClell.

"It is the responsibility of our Cape State government to eradicate the rebels. Before we ask the federal government for help, the National Defense Forces cannot participate in the attack on McClell." Mackenzie was resolute when facing Jackson Marshall, and 2500 National Guards For the 3000 rebels, Mackenzie is still very confident.

The rebels, just a mob, have received military training for a month or two at most, maybe they haven't even mastered the formation, and they don't have the ability to fight the regular army head-on.

Although the National Guard in Cape State is not the national defense force, it is the only military organization in Cape State. The daily training work is also going well. There is no reason why they can't even defeat a group of rebels.

"Okay then, I'll wait for your good news—" Jackson Marshall doesn't take credit, you can do what you want.
