Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1478
What the British Empire is going through now, the Netherlands has experienced, Spain has experienced, both of which have become yesterday, and can only recall the former glory of the empire in dreams.

If not to say that the glory of the Chinese is here, the empire built by the Chinese was once invaded by foreign enemies, and it was once on the verge of subjugation, but the Chinese are capable of re-emerging from the ruins. Now only Next this one, which is pretty self-explanatory.

Rock doesn't talk about the truth. Southern Africa is the most philistine businessman. If you want to obtain the corresponding technology, you have to pay the corresponding price. Empty hands and white wolves are not enough.

Hubert Gough couldn't find any opportunities with Rock, but Hubert Gough also had a way. There was also a British-appointed governor in southern Africa, and Kitchener was Hubert Gough's last reliance.

When he came to the Governor's Mansion, Hubert Goff was in a trance for a moment.

How should I put it, the Governor's Mansion in Kitchener, viewed from the front, looks similar to the smaller Potala Palace after so many years of repairs.

You don’t need to go to the scene to see how magnificent the Potala Palace is. You can tell from the photos, and the Governor’s Mansion in Kitchener is no exception.

Like the Potala Palace, the Governor’s Mansion in Kitchener is also built on the hillside. The mountains are surrounded by mezzanines and pavilions, and all kinds of carved railings and jade are resplendent. In order to build the Governor’s Mansion in Kitchener, southern Africa specially transported more than a few Thousands of tons of yellow marble, compared with white marble, yellow marble has a more simple sense of age, that is, steady and deep.

Walking up the steps of the Governor's Mansion, Hubert Goff felt like a pilgrimage. This is not an exaggeration. Kitchener's status in the hearts of British soldiers is like this, especially the Army, whose status is irreplaceable.

Kitchener is still very enthusiastic about Hubert Gough. After all, Hubert Gough is a rising star in the British Army. As a junior, Hubert Gough also respects Kitchener. The newly formed Ministry of the Air Force began.

Speaking of the British Air Force Ministry, as early as 1911 before the outbreak of World War II, the British Royal Engineer Aviation Battalion was established. At that time, the aviation battalion also had the establishment of a hot air balloon force.

During the World War, the Royal Air Force was established in the United Kingdom under the command of Hugh Montagu Trenchard, who had participated in the Second Boer War.

After the end of the World War, the United Kingdom established the Air Ministry, which established the status of the Air Force in the British War Department.

"The role of the air force in future wars will rise sharply. Our army building can refer to southern Africa. During the World Wars, southern Africa proposed the concept of 'air supremacy', which is the same as our traditional 'sea supremacy'. Who will control the battlefield in the future?" The airspace, whoever will win the final victory." Kitchener still has feelings for the British Empire, and he taught Hubert Gough everything.

The biggest change that the World War brought to Kitchener was Kitchener's views on new weapons. Kitchener never thought so before the outbreak of the World War. New weapons are viewed with suspicion.

"The Ministry of War has conducted many exercises in recent years. The role of the Air Force is indeed very important. The Ministry of the Navy has also increased the proportion of anti-aircraft weapons on warships in response to the threat of the Air Force. This time we want to cooperate with Southern Africa to produce aircraft, too. Because of the emphasis on the Air Force, it’s a pity that Southern Africa——” Hubert Goff hesitated, the attitude of Southern Africa is actually Rock’s attitude, so Hubert Goff would still blush when he said bad things about Rock behind his back of.

"Southern Africa's reaction is normal. Now southern Africa is no longer a colony of the British Empire. In order to develop aircraft, southern Africa has invested a lot of energy, huge funds, and countless scientific researchers. These investments must be rewarded. In exchange for you Serving as the Minister of Defense in Southern Africa, I will not give it away.” Kitchener is also very depressed. Once upon a time, the British Empire would not be so complacent, and just ask for anything it wants.

don't give?

Then grab it directly!
This is the way of thinking in the British Empire.

It's a pity that now, the glory of the British Empire is gone forever, and traditional soldiers like Kitchener dare not speak lightly, especially when facing a rising star like Southern Africa.

"Yesterday, Lord Nyasaland and I inspected the military airport, and Lord Nyasaland showed off a brand new military weapon. What I am worried about now is how many brand new weapons like helicopters are there in southern Africa? Hubert Gough felt unfathomable about the war potential of southern Africa. In the past, human resources were the biggest limitation in southern Africa. Now it seems that this only shortcoming can be completely made up for in southern Africa within ten years.

By that time, southern Africa will probably be even more difficult.

"Don't talk about you, I don't know either. Locke is a far-sighted person. I knew from the time he bought the bullet production line that this guy would become a blockbuster sooner or later." I am afraid that Kitchener has already started to deal with Rock.

It wasn't easy. Rock was already Baron Nyasaland when he bought the bullet production line, and he entered the ranks of the nobles. He had no reason to target a nobleman, so what awaited Kitchener would be the counterattack of the entire noble class.

"Lord Halewood over there—" Hubert Goff was still thinking about Ade.

"Alfred is good to Lockebie and his son—no, Alfred has no son, but he has a nephew who works next to Locke." Kitchener directly cut off Hubert Goff's words Thinking about it, Ade is different from Kitchener, and has become a thorough Southern African.

"Marshal, if possible, I still hope that southern Africa can cooperate with the Ministry of War to produce advanced weapons such as airplanes and helicopters locally. Even if it pays a higher price, it will be worthwhile." Hubert Gough is not in Afghanistan He is entangled in the issue of Germany, hoping that Kitchener can use his spare heat.

"I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee the result." Kitchener didn't make promises, and Roque couldn't be moved with just a few words.

"Thank you, Marshal—" Hubert Goff sincerely thanked him. If Kitchener came forward, it might really be effective.

The next day, Kitchener invited Rock to the Governor's Mansion to feed the fish.

That's right, it's just feeding the fish. Rock has no interest in hunting, fishing and other sports that the nobles love. Supporting football is also to improve the physical fitness of the Nyasaland people.

By the way, in the Los Angeles Football League, the Eagles won the final championship.

Nyasaland will start the Intercontinental League this year. A total of 18 teams will start a nine-month long season. Los Angeles City has become the biggest winner. A total of four teams have qualified to participate in the Intercontinental League.

What I want to explain here is that in addition to the Nyasaland team, there is also a team belonging to Salisbury and a team belonging to Lorenzo Marquez. , In addition to these two teams, there are more cities trying to join the Nyasaland Intercontinental League. It is estimated that by next year, the Intercontinental League can be upgraded to the Southern African National League.

Roark was on time for the appointment, and Kitchener also invited Adelaide at the same time. On this issue, Adelaide can still play a role.

After all, Ade does not want to see the British Empire reduced to this point.

"It's really not that you don't want to help, Marshal. I discussed this issue with Retief. If the fighter jets are produced locally, the final cost of the fighter jets may be far higher than the Ministry of War expects. In this case, it is better to buy them directly from southern Africa. It’s not that we don’t sell them, and we won’t sell second-best ones. The fighter jets sold to the Ministry of Air Force are the same type of fighter jets used by the Southern African Air Force.” Rock really didn’t lie, just look at the cost of building warships in the UK and Southern Africa. , the same aircraft carrier, the cost of the United Kingdom is about twice that of southern Africa.

Don't think that only Hubert Gough and Kitchener have considered this issue. The current Secretary of War John Jericho is not stupid. After the end of the World War, he considered producing aircraft carriers in the UK.

As a result, it was embarrassing for everyone that the cost of producing an aircraft carrier in the UK would be more than twice that of buying it from southern Africa.

And the production rate is not as fast as in southern Africa.

What makes John Jericho even more unacceptable is that even the quality is not guaranteed.

Then no one mentioned it again.

The same is true for aircraft, not to mention the complexity of producing aircraft, which is no less than the construction of large warships such as aircraft carriers and battleships. If the cost is calculated, then producing in the UK may not be as cheap as buying directly from southern Africa. Southern Africa not only Only human resources are cheaper, and the advantages in raw materials are also huge.

"The same model? Then what happened to the Air Force transfer between Walvis Bay and Port Edward in the recent period?" Kitchener didn't believe Roque's nonsense. Roque really wouldn't sell the most backward aircraft to London. , but it will definitely not sell the most advanced aircraft to London.

Because it was Roark who replaced Kitchina, Kitchina would not do the same.

This is very embarrassing, and it doesn't matter, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

"Routine training——" Rock looked innocent. The training of the southern African army is indeed very frequent and intense, and the transition of the air force is even more normal.

"Alfred, take a look, this is the good student you have taught." Kitchener was rude, and even made complaints about Ade.

"Hehe." Ade seemed to have never heard of it, how strange?This kind of thing is often done well in the British Empire.

ps: I'm sorry for being late, my body hasn't fully recovered, I wanted to be lazy today, I can't think about it, I can't treat you big brothers like this, it's already so watery, two chapters a day still have to guarantee——
