Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1612
Roark acquired a total of 450 cases from his private collection, and Kitchener alone took away 26 cases.

Ade is not much better, 25 boxes, one less box is afraid of Rock's distress.

It sounds like hundreds of boxes can fill a museum, but it’s not much.

After all, they are all treasures. A wooden box can only hold one piece. The box looks big, but it is actually full of fillers. The things are old and valuable.

Seeing Rock, Kitchener was not at all embarrassed, and triumphantly invited Rock to taste the Mingqian Longjing he had just bought.

Longjing tea can be harvested in three seasons throughout the year. These three seasons can be called spring tea, summer tea, and autumn tea. Among them, the quality of spring tea is better than the latter two, and spring tea can be divided into Mingqian tea. And Yuqian tea, among which the quality of Mingqian tea is the best.

It has been 20 years since Rock was reborn. Unrecognizable British black tea is finally no longer popular in southern Africa. Various teas from the Far East are widely sought after, followed by various teas from southern Africa. The cheapest Indian tea is basically sold in the market. Nobody cares.

Although southern Africans do not drink tea to the level of tea culture, it is indeed unworthy to treat guests with low-end Indian tea.

The point is bad reputation.

Thanks to the southern African media for their tireless science popularization. Now every southern African knows that Indian tea was stolen from the Qing Dynasty. There is a saying that if you die of thirst, you don’t drink the water from the stolen spring. It’s better to treat guests with stolen tea than plain water. You can’t throw it away. from that person.

Kitchener was deeply influenced by Rock, and became a loyal fan of Longjing. Before the Ming Dynasty, Longjing was specially obtained from the Far East, and Rock didn't have this kind of treatment.

In Kitchina's current state, it is not up to Kitchina to make decisions about national affairs, nor can Kitchina take care of South Britain relations, so the limited energy is spent on eating, drinking and having fun.

"How about it? I sent someone to get it from the Far East. It costs close to a shilling a gram. It's so expensive—" Kitchener's legs were crossed on the chair. An old rich landlord in the Northeast.

Forgive the Northeast Laotie, I mainly use Guangdong Laocai to describe it, it does not have the down-to-earth feeling of the Northeast.

Anyway, Rock looked very kind.

"Don't think that if you invite me to tea, I can forget about my mushket arquebus—" Rock did not forget the business. The status of weapons is about the same.

At the beginning of the 16th century, with the support of the king, the Spanish general Salo de Cordoba, who had a lot of research on musket technology, established the first regular musketeer infantry unit in Europe. This unit was equipped with muskette Matchlock.

It was hundreds of years ago in the 16th century. There are very few Mushiket arquebuses left in the world. These two Roques were dug out from the castle of an old noble family in France. It is in good condition, and it is still meticulously crafted. It is probably the kind used by the royal guards. It is an absolute boutique. Rock wants to use it to decorate the fireplace.

Although Pretoria is like spring all year round, fireplaces are still indispensable as decorations.

Rock's ideal life is that the house is snowing heavily outside, and the fireplace inside the house is blazing. Two medieval arquebuses are hung crosswise on the fireplace, plus a few Damascus machetes or Tang knives, plus a stuffed bison head. Soggy and damp.

"I'll give you two Lee Enfields. What do you think of the Mushiket matchlock gun? Such an old antique should be matched with an old antique like me. Young people, don't lose your mind and remember your identity!" Kitchener said solemnly , if Roque didn't understand him, Roque would really believe it.

"If you want it, just say it, don't talk about it." Rock likes this kind of kitchenware, so he can give it away, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are a lot of such things in Rock's private collection.

When fighting in Europe, the Southern African Expeditionary Force collected various souvenirs in their spare time.

These works of art were taken back to Southern Africa as souvenirs. After all, the Southern African Expeditionary Force could not all be experts in cultural relics, so the things that were a little bit older were brought back to Southern Africa by the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

Think about the millions of souvenirs, covering all aspects of people's lives. For any category, the total number must be calculated in units of "ten thousand".

Although the Mushiket matchlock gun is precious, in terms of value alone, it is far different from the cultural relics of the level of "Nv Shi Zhen Tu".

Kitchener and Ade are more ethical, and they don't want real treasures, after all, maintenance is a big expense.

"Hahahaha, when will you bring me the general directory of your private collection? What's the matter with it being kept in the warehouse? There must be a spirit of sharing—" Kitchener's shameless face was finally exposed.

What is sharing?

What you have and what I don’t have, you have to share with me. This is called sharing.

As for what I have—

Why should I let you see what I have? Private property is sacred and inviolable.

"Oh, your governor's mansion is very big, and I didn't see you inviting a few homeless people to live together." Rock was not fooled. Anglo-Saxons are black-hearted, and they can't believe a word they say.

"Hehe, I understand what you mean. I have to say that southern Africa is not bad. At least in the whole of Pretoria, there are not many homeless people." Kitchener did not hesitate to praise the federal government of southern Africa. Really good.

The social security system in southern Africa is relatively complete. Every state has a social security department. As long as a homeless person is found, the social security department will provide appropriate help. As long as those with hands and feet are willing to work, in the current southern Africa, it is certainly not the case. On the streets.

The same is true for beggars. There is no such profession as beggars in southern Africa. The federal government even advertised in newspapers that people don’t want people to give alms to beggars. After finding beggars, they should contact the social security department as soon as possible. If beggars are really in trouble, the social security department Nature will help.

The reason why the regulations are so strict is for the sake of social security. Homeless people and beggars are hidden dangers to urban safety. Without these hidden dangers, the possibility of public security cases will be reduced.

"I'm not telling you this. In a few days, the Rhodesian Northern Division will have an exercise. Would you like to come with me?" Rock offered to help Kitchener find something to do. fish.

Oh, and Kitchina is fishing.

"Okay!" Kitchener's eyes sparkled immediately, that's right, don't forget that Kitchener is also a marshal.

The present Northern Rhodesian Division is one of only two Army divisions remaining in Southern Africa.

After the World War, the Northern Rhodesian Division was converted into an armored unit and was stationed on the former border of Nyasaland and the Republic of Congo, which is now Katanga.

The current northern Rhodesian division includes two armored brigades and an artillery brigade. The armored brigade is equipped with the latest "Leopard" tanks and "Nile Crocodile" armored vehicles in southern Africa. The artillery brigade is equipped with 155mm self-propelled guns. howitzer.

Don't get me wrong, the "Leopard" tank in southern Africa has nothing to do with the German "Leopard" tank, but an improved version of the "Hussar" tank.

Compared with the "Light Cavalry", the "Leopard" tank has thicker armor, stronger firepower, and improved battery life and mobility. According to the standards of southern Africa, the "Leopard" tank is considered a medium tank, but in today's Europe , "Leopard" tank is a standard heavy tank.

Europe is still studying the "light cavalry" in southern Africa. The British developed the "Matilda" infantry tank last year with reference to the "light cavalry" tank in southern Africa. You can know the "Matilda" and the "light cavalry" in southern Africa by looking at the name. relation.

Of course, the arrogant British would definitely not say that. In the explanation of the British War Department, the reason why "Matilda" is called this name means "Goddess of War", and it has something to do with the Matilda family in southern Africa. nothing.

France continued to transform on the basis of the "Renault" tank, but the "Renault" tank was inherently deficient. Even if France remodeled it, it was still a light tank, and its performance had fallen far behind.

But the French are not the worst, the Americans are really miserable. After the World War, the American Expeditionary Force was disbanded on the spot. Up to now, the United States does not even have a professional armored force, and there is not even a factory in the United States that produces tanks.

The "Leopard" tank equipped by the Northern Division of Rhodesia uses a new diesel engine produced by Diesel, with a power of up to 540 horsepower, which allows the "Leopard" tank with a total weight of 35 tons to run 70 kilometers per hour on the road. hour top speed.

At the same time, the "Leopard" tank is equipped with the latest 75mm tank gun developed by Nyasaland Military Industry. The "Leopard" tank has a faster rate of fire and greater power. Compared with European tank guns, the 75mm of the "Leopard" tank is comparable to the 88mm used by European tanks——

Ah, sorry, there are no tanks in Europe that use 88mm tank guns. The caliber of "Matilda" is only 40mm, and the caliber of "Renault" is even more pitiful 37mm. This is even used by armored vehicles in southern Africa. The 40mm bang bang gun is not as good.

To Rock's relief, the five huge road wheels on the "Leopard" tank, from the appearance point of view, the "Leopard" tank and the Type 59 in Rock's memory have a high degree of overlap. The prototype of the 59, T54, It was a product that only appeared in 1954, and now it is 1925. Rock is looking forward to the outbreak of the Second World War, and the enemies of the southern African army will not shout in horror: "Leopard" descended the mountain——

Thinking about it this way, this name is not good, it should be called "Tiger".

But it doesn't matter, there are still more than ten years before the World War II in Rock's memory. By then, the southern African troops must have installed the "Tiger" tank. According to the habits of southern Africa, the "Tiger" tank must be a heavy tank. "To describe it, it is still very appropriate.
