Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1716 What a pity

After the end of the World War, the rapid-fire guns represented by the French "Miss Seventy-Five" were completely abandoned, and replaced by Krupp's long-range, powerful, and powerful artillery that relied on vehicle traction.

The rockets in southern Africa have a range of 3.5 kilometers. With the advancement of technology, the range and power will gradually increase.

Now in southern Africa, there are multiple teams responsible for rocket research. Nyasaland has Robert Goddard’s team, Milna City has Nyasaland military industry team, and the Diesel Laboratory in Port Edward is responsible for part of the rocket. Nyasaland Aviation is responsible for the aerodynamic system of the rocket, and Nyasaland Heavy Industries refits the chassis of the "Leopard" tank as a transportation vehicle for the rocket. The chassis, aiming device, launching device, etc. are all in charge of a professional team.

So some things can’t be imitated at a glance. The third brother’s Arjun tank is a good example. If you don’t have enough technical level, you can’t integrate the best parts for you.

When the helicopter formation appeared above the square, everyone's emotions reached a climax.

This is the first time that an armed helicopter has appeared in front of the public. Considering the safety factor, the rocket launching nest mounted on the short wing of the armed helicopter is not filled with rockets. Stanley Baldwin does not know the function of the rocket launching nest. See When I arrived at the armed helicopter, I couldn't help picking up the binoculars to watch.

Rock didn't explain, the most worrying thing at the moment is that if a certain helicopter fails and has to make an emergency landing, the federal government will lose face.

This is not unheard of. In the French military parade last year, a Renault tank broke down in full view. It was parked on the parade ground and could not move. The French army finally had to dispatch three trailers to drag the broken down Renault tank away. The incident led directly to the resignation of the French Minister of War.

Southern Africa is okay. All vehicles performed well during the review process, and there was no such thing as an oolong, thanks to the reliable technology and perfect logistical maintenance in Southern Africa.

"How much does one cost for an armed helicopter?" Stanley Baldwin was itchy. There must have been reports about armed helicopters within the British government.

Rock didn't even need to read the brochure, and just quoted casually: "About 15000 pounds——"

"So expensive?" Stanley Baldwin was disappointed. If it cost 15000 pounds, the British government would not be able to afford it.

Helicopters are not battleships. Once you buy them, you can buy dozens or hundreds of them. The virtue of the southern African military industry, the price is 15000 pounds, plus the training costs for pilots and ground crews, spare parts, and even ammunition. Thirty thousand is possible.

This is not counting the cost of designing and modifying the armed helicopters in order to adapt to the national conditions of the British Empire.

"Hehe, it's not expensive or not—my lord, let's discuss it later—" Ali Rasheed didn't think it was expensive.

Stanley Baldwin really wanted to swear, and Nima didn’t want it just to flatter his face. It’s not expensive, can you afford it?
It is really affordable. If the royal family of Nazhi wants to buy helicopters, it must not be for the deployment of troops, but for the royal family.

In this case, you can't buy a few, ten or eight, it's easy.

After all, the Najd Petroleum Company has to pay the Najd Sultanate 200 million rand every year.

"No need to discuss, I'll send you two later—" Rock was generous, never stingy with his own people.

"That's so embarrassing——" Ali Rashid smiled, looking at how he was the boss.

The corner of Stanley Baldwin's mouth moved, but he still didn't speak in the end.

The Nejd Sultanate can be ashamed, but the British Empire has to. At this moment, Stanley Baldwind hopes that Rock can also take the initiative and donate ten or eight to the British Empire.

It's a pity that Rock is also watching people order dishes. It's okay to give it to the Najd Sultanate, but it's definitely not okay to give it to the British Empire.

Regardless of whether there are small moves by the country of Najd Sultan, the relationship with southern Africa is really good.

If it were the British Empire, not to mention the Nezhi Oilfield, the Elizabeth Oilfield would still like to take a bite.

Just after the end of the Second Boer War, the British Empire gave some help to southern Africa.

These aids had completely stopped by 1905. The main reason why the British Empire agreed to the autonomy of southern Africa was to get rid of the financial burden of southern Africa.

So let Southern Africa feed back the British Empire?

dream!

After the helicopter phalanx passed over the square, the colorful smoke drawn out had not completely disappeared, and the fighter phalanx flew over at high speed again.

In addition to fighter jets, there are also four-engine long-range bombers and big-bellied military transport planes.

Stanley Baldwin finally found a balance, and this time the Southern Africa has all its cards. These types of models are also available in the UK.

Rock would definitely not tell Stanley Baldwin that military transport planes in southern Africa can be used not only to transport military supplies, but also to transport paratroopers.

Sorry, at the moment in 1926, only southern Africa had paratroopers in the world.

The history of paratroopers is actually quite long. During the World War in 1918, W. Mitchell of the United States once proposed the idea of ​​using a bomber group to parachute an infantry division to the rear of the German front to attack.

Unfortunately, limited by the conditions at the time, this idea could not be implemented.

After the end of the World War, all countries began research on bombers, transport aircraft, and parachutes, and southern Africa was also at the forefront of the world in this regard.

The military parade ended in the majestic "March of the Expeditionary Army". The last 10 people sang in a chorus, and even Stanley Baldwin couldn't help feeling excited.

Compared with "March of the Expeditionary Army", "God Save the King" sounds like a dirge.

After the military parade was over, Roque held a banquet in the Palace of Justice to entertain the heads of state from afar.

The square in front of the Palace of Justice is very lively, and people are reluctant to leave for a long time, and there will be a fireworks show at night.

The Johannesburg Food Company seized the opportunity and pulled in dozens of truckloads of food and drinks for people to eat for free.

This advertisement is well done. The business of Johannesburg Food Company and Rhodesia Company partially overlap. Rhodesia Company is mainly engaged in the bulk food business, and Johannesburg Food Company is mainly engaged in fast-moving consumer goods, such as biscuits, drinks and so on.

The charitable foundation under the name of Phyllis was also present. There were many charitable foundation volunteers in uniform on the square, reminding people to pay attention to safety, protect the environment, and not throw away garbage at will.

The most conscientious is the police. A gathering of 10 people, a little carelessness will cause serious consequences. The square is divided into countless areas by guardrails and cordons. Firefighters and ambulances are on standby. People sent their pistols to the Rifle Association for a free replacement for a more powerful shotgun.

The Palace of Justice is also very lively. In 1926, there were more than 60 countries in the world, including 16 members of the Commonwealth of Nations and the Southern African Union. This is a powerful force capable of changing the world.

In the banquet hall, the members of the Southern African Union are obviously centered on Roque, and the members of the Commonwealth of Nations are centered on Stanley Baldwin.

"The most important task for us now is to develop the economy. Many conflicts are caused by economic reasons. If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, many conflicts will be resolved. Don't always focus on plunder and war. Discover more from yourself. potential, Africa is vast and rich, as long as we make full use of our own advantages, the future can be expected--" Rock seized the opportunity to beat the leaders of the alliance member countries around him, and he said this mainly to Mumu and Benson Moore listened.

Mumu is the king of the Kingdom of Kongo.

Benson Moore is the President of the Republic of Congo.

Neither Mumu nor Benson Moore spoke, and they couldn't say it now if they had an opinion. They could raise it with Rock in private tomorrow.

"After the New Year, a new round of large-scale infrastructure construction will begin in southern Africa. The development of the Congo River and the Nezhi Oilfield are also on the agenda. In short, there are opportunities." Rock also needs to give some benefits, and the boss must look like the boss .

"My lord, don't forget about West Africa—" West Africa President Anthony Bowman is pitiful, and there is milk for crying children.

The presence of West Africa in the Southern African Union is seriously insufficient. This is actually not Rock’s problem. Anthony Bowman has no great ideals. West Africa usually relies on selling resources and exporting labor to Southern Africa to barely survive. .

Of course, West Africa also has appeals. Everyone knows that southern Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start large-scale infrastructure construction. If you miss this time, you don’t know when the next time will be. West Africa also wants to take a ride.

"Of course not, you will write a report back and submit it to the Southern African Union for discussion. Our goal is for everyone to live happily and live in peace—" Rock sang loudly, and this pursuit is much higher than that of the League of Nations.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Stanley Baldwin is also trying to beat the heads of the leaders of the Commonwealth of Nations.

"We unite and work together to fight the enemy and win the world war. The British Empire is at an unprecedented level-" Stanley Baldwin is not bragging. After the continuous annexation of Southwest Africa, Tanganyika, and Madagascar in Southern Africa Not to mention, purely in terms of territorial size, the British Empire is indeed unprecedentedly powerful.

Of course, this "unprecedented" is based on the premise of the Commonwealth.

When it comes to the British Empire specifically, the beholder sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.

At this time, the hypocrisy of the politicians can be seen. Although everyone knows what's going on, when Stanley Baldwin spoke, the leaders of the Commonwealth echoed him, with various expressions of pride.

At this moment, Louis hurried into the banquet hall and whispered a regrettable news to Rock.

Just now, Haig's condition deteriorated sharply, doctors failed to rescue him, and Haig died of illness.
