Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1445

There are many islands in the Adan Islands. The main island, Zhenghe Island, plus the subsidiary islands, have a total of 2300 islands.

There are 2300 islands, but the total area is only 60 square kilometers. Most of the islands are reefs with only a little bit of sea surface, which are not suitable for human habitation. Now there are only a few islands in the Ardan Islands where humans live.

"These subsidiary islands should be inspected frequently, and none of them should be lost. Although these islands and reefs are useless now, they may play a huge role in the future." Rock's most regrettable thing is that he is not as big as the Sky Whale. Dredgers, otherwise it won't take long for Southern Africa to have more Zheng He Islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

The Egmont Islands affiliated to the Ardan Islands, the Salomon Islands in the northeast, and the Perus Partanius Islands in the north are actually atolls. If there are large dredgers, these reefs can be connected into one A piece of island has expanded into an island. The Perus Partanus Islands in the north are 29 kilometers wide from east to west and 26 kilometers long from north to south. Compared with Zheng He Island, its potential is not inferior at all.

It seems that Zhu Jun doesn't understand the meaning of these reefs, but this does not prevent Zhu Jun from carrying out Roque's orders. The so-called understanding must be carried out, and those who do not understand must be carried out. Soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty.

However, Zhu Jun also faced many difficulties. There were only two companies of soldiers on Zheng He Island, and the total strength was less than 300. It was indeed difficult to completely cover an area of ​​[-] to [-] square kilometers.

Rock is taking a patrol boat with Zhu Jun to inspect the Egmont Islands. This is a coral atoll composed of six islands with a total area of ​​29 square kilometers and a land area of ​​about four square kilometers. The largest island is Southeast Egmont in the southeast. The island covers an area of ​​about 1.5 square kilometers, and the island is full of coconut trees.

"The Egmont Islands are uninhabited. We will come to inspect every once in a while—" The situation Zhu Jun said did not match what Roque saw. Through the telescope, Roque clearly saw the southeast Egmont Islands. There seem to be buildings on the island, and a fishing boat is parked on the beach next to it.

At this time, Zhu Jun finally noticed the existence of the fishing boat, and Zhu Jun ordered the patrol boat to drive directly without Roque's order.

There were indeed people on the island. When they saw the patrol boat, the people on the island were still waving to the patrol boat.

Zhu Jun had an ugly expression on his face. Seeing that Roque didn't intend to give an order, he ordered the patrol boat to dock directly.

"Gentlemen, good morning—" There were three men and one woman on the island, and several of them were obviously nervous. The voice of a young man with dark skin and short stature was trembling.

"Who are you guys?" Zhu Jun didn't mean to say hello, and his voice was stern as soon as he came up.

"Indian, my name is Singh—"

"No one cares what your name is, why are you here?"

"We want to live here, there's no one here, and we don't get in the way—"

"The grass in front of Buckingham Palace is also uninhabited. Why don't you live there?" Zhu Jun was furious. This reason is definitely not valid, and this is no longer the age of great voyages.

Those explorers in the Age of Discovery often named the island after themselves, and then erected a monument or something on the island, and the island became the private property of the discoverer.

This situation is definitely impossible now. Rock paid for the Chagos Islands from Mauritius. All the islands in this area are Rock's private property. Without Rock's permission, no one can occupy them at will.

"Sir, this island is not inhabited at all, we can pay for it—" Singer begged, his name seemed to be Sikh.

"No one wants your money, get out of here immediately, don't force me to use force." Zhu Jun didn't give a chance, it wasn't a matter of money at all, if they were allowed to stay here, it would cause many problems in the future.

Following Zhu Jun's order, several soldiers jumped onto the beach with their rifles in their hands, and one of them casually put a bayonet on his rifle. This action obviously made Singer more nervous.

"Sir, please don't do this, we are also British—" Singer clasped his hands together and begged, trying to stop the menacing soldiers.

"Ha, ask the British if they admit that you are British—" Zhu Jun played a cruel and heartless colonist perfectly.

After several soldiers went ashore, they controlled Singer and the other three people. One of the young men tried to resist, but was directly smashed to the ground by a soldier with the butt of his gun viciously.

"Okay, okay, we won't resist, please don't hurt us—" Singer finally realized the fact that his British identity had no effect in front of southern Africans.

Southern Africa, like India, is a British colony.

However, southern Africa has achieved self-government by virtue of its contribution to the British Empire, but India's situation has not improved.

After the outbreak of the World War, in order to get the full support of India, London promised that it would have the same autonomy as India and southern Africa after the World War.

It is a pity that after the World War, Britain did not fulfill its promise, and when India was in deep economic crisis and could not extricate itself, it also shipped a large amount of food from India. As a result, a serious humanitarian disaster broke out in India, because the number of people who died of starvation may be as high as 2000 million.

However, the above statement was made by the Indians themselves and has not been confirmed by the British government.

Britain did transport a lot of grain from India, but it was not that Britain forcibly plundered from India, but that the Indian kings and merchants voluntarily sold the grain to British merchants, so strictly speaking, the humanitarian disaster in India is not Can't blame the British.

This is the case in India. Natural disasters and man-made disasters will not make the rich in India benevolent. On the one hand, those rich people are seeking British aid to help India get rid of hunger, and on the other hand, they sell the surplus food to British merchants instead of Who can blame it for selling at lower prices to the poor in India?

Anyway, this kind of thing is impossible in southern Africa.

All the Indians were taken onto the patrol boat, and then the soldiers set fire to the huts built by the Indians, and directly and completely smashed the fishing boats stranded on the shore.

The Indian girl couldn't help crying when she saw the scene in front of her, and several Indian youths also looked sad and angry.

"My lord, do you think it's appropriate to do this?" Zhu Jun's question was not level, and he came to ask Rock after he was burned. What if it's not appropriate?
"How to deal with these people?" Rock is still concerned about the aftermath. If this kind of thing is not handled properly, there will be trouble.

"I will find a ship to India and send these people on board. As for how the captain will treat them, it depends on God's will." Very well, Zhu Jun's handling method is very British.

"And then?" Rock asked.

Zhu Jun's eyes widened, most of what he said just now was all.

"This won't work—" Rock shook his head. This way of handling seems good, but it is still a bit rough, and it may cause new troubles: "—or give them some money as compensation for them. After all, you just burned house and boat—”

Luo Ke didn't finish his sentence, the specific way to do it depends on Zhu Jun's own comprehension.

"Understood my lord, I will definitely deal with it properly—" Zhu Jun was serious, cruelty is impossible, but the Indian Ocean is very windy and rough, so it is normal for any accident to happen.

"The scenery here is really nice. If it is properly promoted, it will definitely become a tourist attraction—" Sidney Milner didn't care about the fate of those people at all, as if this incident had never happened at all.

That's the right attitude to deal with this kind of thing.

The scenery of the Egmont Islands is indeed quite good. Two of the six islands are relatively large. The length of the reef is about eleven kilometers. It is only necessary to build a breakwater on the other side of the reef. Yet another Zheng He Island.

The only regret is that the central lagoon of the Egmont Islands is not deep enough, and it is full of coral reefs of varying heights, making it impossible for large ships to dock.

It’s okay if you can’t park a big boat. Big boats can go to Zhenghe Island, the central lagoon of the Egmont Islands. It doesn’t need to be repaired. It’s an excellent diving sanctuary. The sea water here is of high quality and very transparent. Being able to see the bottom of the sea is not much better than the famous Crystal Coast. No wonder those Indians chose this place.

"No, it's too far away from the mainland, so it's not suitable for tourism development—" Rock didn't plan to develop tourism in the Adan Islands at all. With the advancement of navigation technology, the Adan Islands will return to military attributes sooner or later. It is a deserted and barren land, and only when a war breaks out will it attract people's attention.

Rock did not stay in the Aldan Islands for too long. The meeting was originally expected to start on October [-]st, and Rock had enough time to slowly head to London.

The result is estimated to be that all countries are more concerned about Germany's compensation. Except for Roque, who is still leisurely in the Indian Ocean, the representatives of other countries participating in the meeting have already arrived in London ahead of schedule.

Rock could only cancel his plan. If he wanted to visit Port Elizabeth and Cyprus, he could only wait until the return trip. It would be hard to keep so many people waiting for Rock.

Roque couldn't imagine how urgent countries are for Germany's reparations. The heavy cruiser "Edward" that Roque was on had just passed the Suez Canal when he received a telegram from Francois from London.

Just now, C. G. Dawes proposed the famous "Dawwes Plan" to British Foreign Minister Arthur Balfour.

Arthur Belfort stated directly to C. G. Dawes that Britain "is prepared to renounce all future rights to German compensation and all claims to payment of war debts. As long as this waiver becomes a It's dealt with as a whole—part of a master plan."

The implication of Arthur Belfort was that Britain could waive Germany's compensation, but Britain wanted the United States to do the same.

In other words, even if I don't want it, you don't want it either.
