Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1473 True History Reversing
The next day is the Lantern Festival. With the preview of the Nyasaland Spring Festival, Pretoria also joined the ranks of celebrating the Lantern Festival.

The investigative team was divided into two groups on this day, one part went to Nyasaland Aviation headquarters in Los Angeles, and the other part stayed in Pretoria.

Rock also failed to return to Los Angeles to participate in the celebration of the Lantern Festival because he had to cooperate with the investigation team's investigation.

The celebrations in Pretoria are still very rich. In addition to making lanterns, the Ministry of National Defense also arranged hundreds of lantern riddles for the entertainment of the citizens. As long as you can guess the lantern riddles, you will get small prizes. There are many types of prizes, both There are kites, windmills and other toys, as well as various snacks, and of course the protagonist of the Lantern Festival - glutinous rice balls.

"I'm sorry Hubert, the Ministry of Defense is on holiday today, so I'm afraid it won't be able to cooperate with your work." Roque really didn't deliberately create obstacles. The Southern African Congress is considering combining traditional Chinese festivals including the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival with Christmas and Easter It is also designated as a legal holiday in southern Africa.

"Does the Ministry of National Defense also have a holiday?" Hubert Goff was surprised. Even for Christmas and Easter, it is impossible for some important departments to have a holiday. On the contrary, they will be busier than usual.

Rock smiled and said nothing. The police stations and hospitals in southern Africa do not have holidays. The Ministry of National Defense doesn't care. No country around southern Africa dares to trouble southern Africa.

Just kidding, the neighboring countries are thankful for the fact that southern Africa does not trouble the neighboring countries.

Hubert Gough felt Rock's strong confidence from his smile, and then became even more depressed.

I have to be depressed. Compared with southern Africa, the environment in the UK is relatively harsh.

Although the British Isles are also isolated from the European continent, the pressure on national defense is still very serious. The Ministry of War is always in a state of combat readiness, otherwise the Royal Air Force would not cooperate with southern Africa to produce combat aircraft.

Compared with the British mainland, southern Africa is too relaxed. Not to mention the lack of national defense pressure, the land is sparsely populated and rich in resources, the climate is warm and pleasant, and there is no smog in winter. Now Hubert Gough finally understands why some British In winter, I will travel thousands of miles to southern Africa for vacation.

Look at the beautiful urban construction of Pretoria, look at the clear blue sky, breathe the fresh and sweet air, let's talk about whether it smells good or not!

Pretoria is a garden city, and the biggonia trees all over the city have just passed their flowering period. The "sweetness" here is really not a satire.

To Hubert Goff's surprise, the people of Pretoria did not seem to be afraid of the southern African military.

Not long after the red lanterns hung with lantern riddles were hung, citizens came to ask for small gifts to guess the lantern riddles. A little girl looked frustrated and was about to cry when she failed to guess three lantern riddles.

The female soldier who was busy distributing small gifts noticed the little girl and gave the little girl a huge marshmallow as an encouragement award.

The little girl burst into laughter, and the lady holding the child and the female soldier laughed together, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

The Ministry of National Defense has indeed made sufficient preparations. It hired more than a dozen chefs from many restaurants in the city to make snacks for the citizens on the spot. There are more than a dozen big pots for cooking glutinous rice balls. If you guess a lantern riddle correctly, you can get three The reward of glutinous rice balls.

The more Hubert Goff looked, the more he became silent. The cold figures on the financial report are definitely not as profound as seeing the smiles on people’s faces. In the past, Hubert Goff only knew that people in southern Africa lived in prosperity, but he didn’t know that life was rich. To what extent did Hubert Goff come to Pretoria to gain a real understanding of "living in abundance".

"What a beautiful city, I like to look at it from the railing the most. It will give me an incomparable sense of satisfaction." Rock is also very comforted. Only at this time, Rock feels that his existence is valuable.

"Yeah, watching the city continue to expand on the land under your feet is really a sense of accomplishment." Hubert Goff echoed, the scene in front of you cannot be seen in the UK.

Britain is actually very rich. Although it has experienced the consumption of world wars, its accumulation over the past few hundred years should not be underestimated.

However, the wealth of the United Kingdom is rich in dignitaries and emerging capitalists, and has little to do with ordinary British people.

Just like the public education that has been implemented in the UK for decades, in fact there are still child laborers in sweatshops, and those who are eligible to receive education must at least come from middle-class families, and the people at the bottom basically have no chance.

Southern Africa is different. In the five-year plan just proposed by the federal government of Southern Africa, southern Africa will take "literacy" as the main task of the federal governments at all levels in the next five years. The literacy here is not only for minors, but also for adults. Also within the scope of literacy.

"Marshal, the Department of War is having a hard time—" Hubert Goff said it was just as hard.

Rock didn't speak. The British War Department was having a hard time, and the Ministry of Defense in Southern Africa was not easy. If it wasn't for selling refurbished aircraft, the Southern African Air Force would have to wait slowly if they wanted to change their equipment.

"This time, His Majesty and the Prime Minister's Office attach great importance to this fraud case. His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, and anyone involved in the case will have to pay the price." Hubert Goff quietly reminded that if the investigation team really found something, Hubert Goff will certainly not show mercy.

"I know—" Rock smiled lightly. Even if something was found out, the British government could only deal with the responsible persons of the Air Force Ministry. If they wanted to deal with Nyasaran Air, it would depend on Rock's consent.

Just as Hubert Gough and Rock were coming and going, the investigation team going to Nyasaland also encountered trouble.

The investigation team was jointly established by the British government and the British War Department, and the official who led the team to Nyasaland was Hendricks, Under Secretary of Colonial Affairs.

Before the mission had even left Pretoria, serious internal divisions arose.

From Pretoria to Los Angeles, now in addition to the train, you can also choose the plane.

If you take the train, it takes about three days and three nights from Pretoria to Los Angeles.

It's much faster by air, with Pretoria arriving in Los Angeles in just four hours via Salisbury.

Hendricks prefers to fly, so he can get to Los Angeles as quickly as possible to start work.

However, some members of the investigation team wanted to be a train, on the grounds that flying was not safe enough.

"Gentlemen, our plane uses four engines, and the safety is absolutely guaranteed. There was a precedent for the plane returning safely when two engines on one side were all shut down." The official sent by the federal government was Herma, an official from the Ministry of Justice nous.

"What if all four engines fail?" Upington, an official of the Home Office from Yorkshire, insisted. He is over seventy years old, with an old face, and he is still a jazz.

"It's basically impossible for this kind of thing to happen—" Hermanus tried to explain how unlucky it would be for all four engines to fail at the same time.

After the Lorenzo Marquez air crash, Air Nyasaran and Air Rhodesia implemented stricter safety standards. All aircraft must go through detailed inspections before flying again after each landing, and pilots are also subject to stricter assessments. Relevant qualifications must be accepted each year to continue flying.

For airport ground staff, airports around the world have also issued stricter regulations. Ground staff, like crew members, must also undergo regular assessments. If they fail to pass the test, they must receive training.

So far, there has only been one air crash in southern Africa. Compared with railways and roads, airplanes are actually a safer means of transportation.

"Nothing is impossible. Even if there is a chance of one in ten thousand, I don't want to take risks. Isn't the comfortable soft sleeper on the train more comfortable than the seat on the plane?" Upington estimated that he was here for tourism, and Not for work.

Hermanus turned to look at Hendricks, completely lost.

Hendricks also looked helpless.

"Then we choose ourselves, whether to fly or take the train." Hendricks chose to solve the problem in a democratic way.

Hermanus looked like he had seen a ghost, how can this kind of thing be handled like this?
Long experience!

"I take the train!" Upington immediately raised his hand.

"I'm flying—"

"I'll take the train too—"

"Can't we just drive there?"

Hermanus now understands why the efficiency of the British Empire is so low.

"It can only be a plane or a train!" Hendricks was stunned.

Then after the investigation team was divided into two groups, it was divided into two groups again——

Hermanus was simply eye-opening.

Four hours later, Hermanus and Hendrix arrived in Los Angeles without incident.

The vehicle sent by Nyasaran Airlines was waiting to be greeted at the airport. The driver was a young and handsome Chinese guy. Hendricks sat directly next to the driver and chatted with the guy casually.

"Sorry sir, I'm working." The little brother was very embarrassed. He could chat, but he couldn't while driving.

"Isn't it your job to serve the investigation team?" Hendricks didn't have the security awareness of his younger brother.

"Sorry sir, my job is to send you to the hotel. The government of Nyasaland state clearly stipulates that for the safety of passengers, drivers are not allowed to chat while driving." The little brother is still very polite, now "drive" The term isn't bad either.

What a pure age.

"Why is there such a regulation?" Hendricks was surprised that there are no such detailed regulations in the UK.

Hermanus spread his hands helplessly, this is all the experience and lessons learned from blood and tears.

In fact, Britain is still relatively strict in terms of legal system construction. As early as 1861, the British government promulgated the "Road Motor Vehicle Act", and in 1865, the British government enacted a more stringent "Red Flag Law".

It is incredible that in the "Highway Motor Vehicle Law", the maximum speed of a car is 16 kilometers per hour, while the "Red Flag Law" enacted four years later, the maximum speed of a car is limited to 6.4 kilometers per hour.

A normal adult's walking speed is about 5 to 8 kilometers per hour, and if you walk faster, it can reach 10 kilometers per hour.
