Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1623 Colony

If you are poor, you can put aside the controversy. Since ancient times, if southern Africa had been reasonable, it would not have the current 600 million square kilometers of land.

When Hongyi Hirota went to find Yang Smozi, the merchant ship "Fugui Maru" belonging to Hashimoto Co., Ltd. was undergoing inspection by the Indian Ocean Fleet at Changi Naval Base.

"Fugui Maru" is an [-]-ton merchant ship that travels between southern Africa and Japan all year round. It mainly trades food, and sometimes it also loads some daily necessities. The daily necessities are mainly high-end consumer cars and motorcycles. Lord, when returning to Japan this time, "Fugui Maru" was loaded with two gliders purchased from southern Africa. It was precisely because of these two gliders that "Fugui Maru" was detained by the Indian Ocean Fleet.

When Roque was in the United States, he signed a series of agreements with President Coolidge on restricting the spread of technology. Aviation is the top priority. All aviation-related technologies are strictly restricted, and gliders are also among them.

"We bought this from an aviation club in St. George. There are complete procedures. We have paid taxes in Victoria and St. George. The procedure is completely legal." The captain of "Fugui Maru" Yano Kei respectfully, and the officer of the Indian Ocean Fleet who led the team was white people.

"It doesn't work if the procedure is legal. The glider is a contraband and must be confiscated." Captain Luke didn't explain why the glider was a contraband, and there was no need to explain to Yano Kei.

Just kidding, Indian Ocean Fleet - no, the Royal Navy does things and never needs explanation.

"Why? These two gliders cost us a total of 13000 rand. If they want to confiscate, they must give us an explanation." Yano Kei wanted to cry, but 13000 rand was a lot of money.

These two gliders are actually not the latest models, but models ten years ago. They have already been eliminated in southern Africa, so Yano Kei had the opportunity to buy them.

Even the products that are about to be eliminated are not cheap, they are almost the same as brand new ones, even if they are bought by the aviation club in Los Angeles, they don't need so much money.

There is also a chain of discrimination within southern Africa. Gliders eliminated by Nyasaland and Rhodesian aviation clubs will be sold at a discount to aviation clubs in the Transvaal or Cape.

After the aviation clubs in Transvaal and Cape are eliminated, the aviation clubs in Victoria, Dias or Basutoland will get their turn.

This set of procedures has been going on for more than ten years. Unless it is something that even the state of Victoria doesn't like, it will be sold to the outside world. As for the price, it is all negotiated by yourself.

What makes Yano Kei unacceptable is that when Hashimoto Co., Ltd. purchased the two gliders, the other party did not say that the glider was a contraband, otherwise Hashimoto Co., Ltd. would not have bought it at all.

Now that the money has been paid and the tax paid, the glider has been shipped to Malacca, and the glider has become a contraband. Not only can it not be shipped back to Japan, but also other goods transported on the "Fugui Maru" cannot arrive in time. Japan, you must know that besides the two gliders on the "Fugui Maru", there are a lot of food that cannot be stored for a long time. Time to lose everything.

"I've already told you that the glider is a contraband and must be confiscated." Luke's face was full of impatience, saying?Whatever you want to say, "contraband" is the way to say it.

"Sir, please don't do this—" Yano Kei begged bitterly, and the cash in his pocket was almost out of water, but he didn't dare to take it out.

The Indian Ocean Fleet's emphasis on discipline is very strict. Accepting bribes and offering bribes are very serious crimes.

Looking at the current situation, most of the Indian Ocean Fleet is fishing for law enforcement. It is definitely not a good idea to send money at this time, even if it is sent, it cannot be on this occasion.

"Now I suspect that there are other contraband on your ship. Let all the sailors disembark. We will conduct a thorough inspection of this ship." Luke is business-like, and Japan is also full of bad records in this regard.

Japan lacks resources, and the steel needed to build "Nagato" and "Mutsu" was either scrap iron bought from the United States or plundered from outside.

Southern Africa is also a big country of steel. If it is rich in resources, don’t want it. The Japanese have been coveting it for a long time, but Southern Africa is not suitable for Japanese business. Even if the price offered by the Japanese is relatively high, Southern Africa will not sell it.

Especially rare metals.

For example, special metals such as chromium and manganese, as well as more bulky iron and copper, are contraband in southern Africa.

However, the Japanese are indeed good at drilling, and they can't buy minerals directly, so the Japanese put their ideas on the waste machines eliminated in southern Africa.

Southern Africa has developed very fast in recent years, and the speed of machine obsolescence is also very fast. Although many machines have not yet reached the end of life, they are on the verge of being phased out due to technical reasons. Businesses are still profitable.

"Sir, except for these two gliders, all other products of 'Fugui Maru' are food purchased from Rhodesia Company—" The panic on Yano Kei's face was fleeting.

Thanks to the continuous improvement of livestock breeds in southern Africa for many years, the best beef and mutton in the world are now produced in southern Africa, especially Nyasaland cattle. In top restaurants in Europe and the United States, the price per [-] grams is as high as ten pounds as much.

Japan's domestic resources are poor and its land is small, so there are no conditions for the development of animal husbandry.

However, beef is very popular in Japan, and southern Africa produces the best beef in the world, so Japan purchases a large amount from southern Africa to meet the needs of Japan's domestic dignitaries.

"Shut up! Follow my orders, right away!" Luke doesn't talk nonsense with Yano Kei, even food has something to do, such as Nyasaland cattle. Japan can buy beef from southern Africa, but if it buys live cattle , that is illegal.

"Sir, please—" Before Yano Kei could finish speaking, he was carried away by two tall and strong Gurkha soldiers like a chick. Luke couldn't help but feel pity for that appearance.

The height of the Japanese is really a tragedy. Yano Kei's height is at most 1.6 meters, but in Japan it can already be described as an "eight-foot strong man".

The economy in southern Africa has developed rapidly in recent years, and the food is extremely abundant, which is clearly reflected in people's height.

Last year, the average height of 18-year-olds in southern Africa reached 170cm, which may be the highest in the world.

1945年，日本18岁成年人的平均身高才只有162.3cm，思密达女性的平均身高在1914年只有可怜的142，至于21世纪全世界最高的荷兰人，20世纪初男性平均身高也只有165cm。

Yano Kei's pleading could not change the fate of "Fugui Maru". After being dragged off "Fugui Maru", Yano Kei collapsed on the ground in a daze, watching the officers and soldiers of the Indian Ocean Fleet board the ship for inspection.

Soon, Captain Luke confirmed his guess, and found more contraband on the "Fugui Pill", including manganese ore, which is strictly prohibited from export in southern Africa, and raw diamond ore that has not been processed.

Compared with rare metals, diamonds, like gold, are also strictly controlled export products in southern Africa. Through some channels, "Fugui Pill" obtained some rough diamonds, mixed them in coal bunkers in an attempt to get away with them, but was still rejected. Finding out, now Luke finally has a legitimate reason to seize the "Fugui Pill".

In the face of irrefutable facts, Yano Kei finally stopped arguing.

The news spread back to southern Africa, and Yang Smozi summoned Hirota Hongyi again and made three demands to Hirota Hongyi.

In view of the illegal behavior of "Fugui Pill", Hashimoto Co., Ltd. needs to pay a fine of 50 rand to the federal government of Southern Africa, and the relevant responsible persons must also accept the trial of the Southern African court and bear the consequences of the illegal behavior.

The Japanese military and Keio University School of Medicine, which have already applied vitamin B1 to clinical treatment, must compensate Christian Aikman for the loss and publicly apologize to Christian Aikman in The Times.

The Japanese government should cooperate with the federal government of Southern Africa to conduct investigations on domestic companies in Japan to ensure that no illegal cases will occur again.

Hirota Koki has no objection to the first point. Hashimoto Co., Ltd. deserves it for the stolen goods of "Fugui Pill". If it can't afford it, it will go bankrupt. Whether the federal government of Southern Africa can get the fine is another matter.

Regarding the second request of Yang Shi Mozi, Hirota Hiroki clearly opposed it. Vitamin B1 is too important for Japan, and Hirota Hiroki dared not make any promises on this issue.

Beriberi has a long history in Japan, especially in the Japanese navy. Beriberi once became the biggest problem of the Japanese navy, seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the navy and causing huge losses to the navy.

After the Sino-Japanese War, about 25000% of the nearly 90 soldiers stationed in a certain island suffered from beriberi, and 2100 of them died of the disease. The loss was unacceptable.

It also deserves it.

Before the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese were too poor to eat polished rice.

After the days got better, the Japanese began to sell rice desperately to make up for the regrets of the previous hard times.

Polished rice lacks vitamin B1, which has led to the spread of beriberi in Japan. Not only the Japanese army, but ordinary people also suffer from beriberi.

Therefore, if the Japanese military department and Keio University School of Medicine want to compensate Christian Eckerman, then with the virtue of the Southern African Federal Government, the military department may not be enough to sell "Nagato" to lose money.

As for the last point, Hirota Hongyi was even more afraid to agree.

If Yang Smozi only asked the Japanese government to strengthen the management of Japanese companies, it doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. Anyway, the extent to which it is done depends on the Japanese government.

Now Yang Smozi is asking the Japanese government to cooperate with the federal government of Southern Africa. Only if Hirota is crazy can he agree to this request.

Japan is not a colony of southern Africa.
