Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1472

The editor of The Sun was at least half right. Southern Africa did refurbish used aircraft and sell them to the RAF, but it was by no means a dying aircraft.

The aircraft sold to the Royal Air Force is a self-use version of the Southern African Air Force. Although it is "strong wind" like the export version, it has been upgraded many times after the World War, and its performance is still comparable to the original version of "strong wind". It is even more advanced than the aircraft sold to France and the United States, so "coming out" is purely exaggerated, and Rock is not afraid of any investigation.

The head of the investigation team, Hubert Goff, was also an old acquaintance of Roque. During the World War, Hubert Gough served as the commander-in-chief of the British Fifth Army. He was one of the most outstanding generals in the British Expeditionary Force. In the Battle of Poole, Hubert Goff's Fifth Army performed very well, not inferior to the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

On March 3, the day before the traditional Lantern Festival, the investigation team arrived in Pretoria. Philip held a simple and low-key welcome banquet for the investigation team.

Don't make it public, no matter what the result is, the reputation of the fraud case is not good. Philip Sassoon is currently undergoing a joint investigation by the Royal Air Force and the British government. The current situation is not very favorable for Nyasaran Air. Philip Sassoon Push all the responsibilities to Nyasaland Air, insisting that he was deceived by Nyasaland Air, denying all charges.

Roque attended the welcome banquet as the Minister of Defense of Southern Africa. When he met Hubert Goff, Hubert Goff offered to salute Roque just like he did during the World War.

"Marshal, long time no see—" This address is still very friendly. If it were replaced by other people, most of them would call Roque "Lord Nyasaland".

"Hahahaha, Hubert, you are also a Marshal now, welcome to Southern Africa—" Rock laughed and gave Hubert Gough a bear hug.

After the World War, with the retirement of the older generation of soldiers such as Kitchener and John Fisher, the British army successfully completed the replacement, Rock and Hubert Gough, and Julian Bean, who is now the Governor of Canada , are the best among the new generation of soldiers.

"Don't be too happy, Marshal, I'm here to investigate you." Hubert Goff is half-truthful, he is an upright person, no matter how good his personal relationship with Rock is, it will not affect the final investigation result.

"It doesn't matter. The governments at all levels of the Southern African Federation and Nyasaland Airlines will unconditionally cooperate with your investigation." Rock has the confidence to investigate casually. If he can find out the problem, he will be considered a loser.

"Where is the Ministry of Defense?" Hubert Goff pressed on.

Rock suddenly frowned.

It’s okay to check the federal government, and it’s okay to check Nyasaran Airlines. Do you want to check the Ministry of Defense?

This still needs to be considered.

Unlike the federal governments at all levels, the Southern African Ministry of Defense still has a lot of secrets, and it cannot open its doors for anyone to see.

Not even Hubert Gough.

"Is there any problem with the Ministry of Defense?" Rock had a half-smile. Like Hubert Gough, national interests were involved, and Rock had no choice.

"The Sun article says—" Hubert Goff continued with the Sun article.

"Hehe, Hubert, editors of entertainment newspapers, when will they be able to decide on major national affairs?" Rock dismissed the "Sun", and the British government and the War Department were just making use of it.

As mentioned above, fraud in military purchases is inevitable, and the whole world is universally applicable. The reason why the report of the "Sun" caused such a big sensation, apart from the fact that the amount of 400 million pounds is indeed too large, the British government and The Ministry of War's promotion may also be one of the reasons.

It is true that during the World War, the strength shown by southern Africa made London restless. If only the soldiers were brave and good at fighting, it would be fine. At the same time, southern Africa also showed strong industrial strength, and it almost became the rear of the entire Allied Powers. Made an outstanding contribution to defeating the Allies.

Under such circumstances, the British government and the War Department are increasingly vigilant about southern Africa.

Compared with during the World Wars, Southern Africa now has an air force, and the navy also has battleships and aircraft carriers.

So how many fighter jets does the air force in southern Africa have, and what is the performance of the fighter jets?
How much combat effectiveness do southern African battleships and aircraft carriers have?
How many reservists are there in southern Africa, and how many troops can be called up in wartime?

These are probably issues that the British government and the War Department urgently need to clarify.

I almost forgot that armored units composed of tanks and armored vehicles have also been formed in southern Africa. The British government and the Ministry of War are also very interested in what role the armored units will play on the future battlefield.

"The report of "The Sun" has attracted the attention of His Majesty and all the people. We are responsible to Your Majesty and all the people." Hubert Gough raised the tone, and the reason was very high-sounding.

"Locke, Hubert, what are you talking about?" Kitchener appeared in time and broke the impending stalemate.

There was still a lot of respect for Kitchener, Rock and Hubert Goff, and the atmosphere immediately eased.

"Ahahahaha, Hubert, Southern Africa is also part of the British Empire. The Ministry of War should give more confidence to Southern Africa. I know some Luthors have been hiding in dark corners like rats and chattering endlessly. They are all incompetent Cowardly people, they are jealous of the achievements made in southern Africa, or they are destroying the unity of our Commonwealth, our current Prime Minister is an idiot, he can't treat the heroes who have made great contributions to the British Empire like this!" Kitchin As soon as the sodium came up, it was full of fire, and Rock and Hubert Goff looked at each other, and neither of them took the word well.

Now Kitchener is qualified to scold anyone except the British king, even the British Prime Minister.

Don't forget that before the World War, on the British conscription posters, the portrait of Kitchener was the same size as the British king. At that time, both of them were the spiritual pillars of the British people.

Now, although Kitchener has gone to southern Africa to retire, his position in the UK is still there. If Rock scolds Stanley Baldwin, Hubert Gough may be able to correct it. Replace Kitchener, Hubert Goff could only listen obediently.

"Marshal, don't be angry, this is not necessarily what the Prime Minister meant—" Rock really didn't speak for Stanley Baldwin, but was afraid that Kitchin's anger would hurt his body.

"Don't speak up for that idiot, he has already treated you like this, you should confront him, where did that incomparably tough Locke go during the world war?" Kitchener seemed dissatisfied with Rock, but actually reminded Hubert ·Goff, don't forget what kind of person Rock is.

Hubert Gough was no fool, and immediately understood Kitchener's implication.

Who is Rock?

Locke is the Marquess of Nyasaland, the former Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, the Field Marshal of the British Empire, the winner of three Victoria Crosses and the Order of the Garter, and the Minister of Defense of Southern Africa. As the boss of a pile of companies, any one of these identities must be taken seriously by the British government.

Especially after two minutes in London, Brad's office in southern Africa has completely become famous in the UK. Now everyone in the UK knows that there is a mysterious and powerful organization in southern Africa. Let's see what happens to those rebels , Everyone knows the consequences of being right with Rock.

"How to confront each other? Send someone to kill the descendant of the opium dealer? Then Nyasaland Airlines has to take the blame. I don't think Nyasaland Airlines is at fault, but the investigation must be limited to a certain range. This cannot affect the work of the Ministry of Defense.” Roque limited the scope, if the British government wants to use this opportunity to check the family background in southern Africa, then the British government is wrong.

The wealth of Southern Africa has never been reflected on the surface.

Take Nyasaran Airlines as an example. Don’t look at the fact that Nyasaran Airlines has now shifted most of its production capacity to civilian aircraft. If necessary, Nyasaran Airlines can shift its focus to military aircraft at any time. At that time, the production of military aircraft will have a huge surge.

The same is true of Nyasaran Heavy Industry and Nyasaran Automobile. While producing civilian vehicles, these two companies are also producing agricultural machinery represented by tractors. It is not difficult for the tractor factory to transform into tanks. After the transformation of Nyasaland Heavy Industry and Nyasaland Automobile, the workshops that produced tanks were not dismantled, but temporarily sealed up.

What's more, the real secrets of southern Africa lie in those secret research institutes that don't even have a name, only a code name. After the helicopter, Rock has concentrated his efforts on rocket research, and now he has made some achievements. What is it to continue to develop?
When the Second World War breaks out, if southern Africa has missiles, you must not think it is an accident.

Of course, the missiles at this time cannot be precision-guided, the kind of high-tech products that require the assistance of microcomputers, and southern Africa is too exhausted to research them now, but even Katyusha was still big when it was obtained during World War II. Killer.

"Of course, Marshal, I'm not here to cause trouble, and I'm sure it won't affect the work of the Ministry of Defense." Hubert Goff was overjoyed, and Rock's words had already been opened quietly. Just publish an investigation report under the random investigation to prove that the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa and Nyasaran Airlines have no problems. Hello, hello, hello, everyone.

If the investigation team didn't understand the interest, then Roque wouldn't be polite, the knife was on his neck, how could Roque still lead his neck to be killed.
