Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2000
At eight o'clock in the morning, Baker, who works in Rhodesian Automobile, left the house on time, ready to start the day's work.

Baker means "baker" in German. You can tell from the name that Baker is of German origin. Baker failed to meet his parents' good expectations and did not work as a baker. Instead, he chose to become a baker in Rhodesia Auto Excellent electrical engineer, Rhodesia Motors' latest electric car, which includes Baker's contribution.

Don't doubt that the electric cars of the 1930s may not be as good as the electric cars of another time and space in the 2020s, but they are not inferior to the electric cars before 2000, and even have better performance in some aspects.

Just think of that New York woman riding an electric scooter in 1916.

During the time when he took the tram to the company, Baker usually used it to read newspapers. He was a loyal reader of The Times. After getting his first salary, Baker subscribed to The Times for a whole year. In addition, Baker is also a fan of newspaper clippings. Whenever Baker sees valuable or meaningful news, Baker will cut it out and keep it for a long time.

Today's "The Times", the bold and bold headline on the front page is "Rebirth or Deeper Sinking - An In-depth Report from Berlin, Germany".

As a German, Baker is very concerned about news about Germany.

After Germany entered the Rhineland, Baker was deeply encouraged. He had already submitted his resignation application to Rhodesia Motors and wanted to return to Germany to contribute his own strength to the reconstruction of Germany.

Before reading the news, the first thing Baker noticed was a picture.

This is a photo of German troops entering the Rhineland. In the photo, young German soldiers are neatly dressed and full of pride. They are walking in a neat line on the city streets. People on both sides of the street look serious and silent. Silent.

In the corner of the photo, a man who lost a leg and was sitting on the ground begging caught Baker's attention. The man was wearing the uniform of the German army during the last world war.

When he noticed this, Baker's heart was stung.

The disabled veteran of World War I sitting on the ground begging——

And the young Germans on their way to the battlefield!

This contrast is so stark that people can't help but think about what the war brought to the Germans, whether it was honor and flowers, or scars and death.

"The Times" has always been faithful to news facts. When reporting news, reporters seldom mix personal feelings, but use more factual descriptions to guide readers to make self-judgment.

Today's news is the same. The reporter spends a lot of time describing the current situation in Germany and European countries' concerns about the German army's entry into the Rhineland. One of the descriptions about German soldiers resonated strongly with Baker.

This is a reprint from a French newspaper. The author is a German. He wrote in a heavy tone: Young soldiers accept the call of the country to put on military uniforms, just like their predecessors, but young people do not know that the future of Germany Where does Congress go, it may be peace or war. Peace-loving people hope that Germany will bring a better life to Germans in a more peaceful way, but it seems that this hope is becoming more and more less and less—

After reading the news report, Baker felt heavy.

Different from what Baker imagined, the Germany introduced by "The Times" made Baker feel strange, and it was not the Germany in Baker's impression.

Baker also has a new understanding of Germany's return to the Rhineland. Before today, Baker believed that the German army's return to the Rhineland was to regain lost ground. Now it seems that this will also have a greater negative impact on Germany.

As for Germany's planned clean-up of the Hebrews, Baker didn't care too much. Didn't southern Africa have been systematically clean-up of Africans?

When I came to the company, several colleagues were chatting together, and the content was also about Germany's military expansion.

"When the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Marshal Foch of France said that the Treaty of Versailles would not bring peace to the world. It was just a 20-year armistice agreement. Now a new generation of young people in Germany have grown up. They don't care about the cause of the last world war, and they don't know the circumstances under which the Treaty of Versailles was signed. Weak and poor.” Werner, from Cape Town, was impassioned, and his words won the praise of several colleagues.

"Fortunately, we are in southern Africa. Even if war breaks out again in Europe, it will not affect us in southern Africa." John from Salisbury, a native of Salisbury, watched from the sidelines. Southern Africa has already seceded from the Commonwealth of Nations. Even if war breaks out in Europe, this time the southern Africa will not join the war in the first place.

"How could there be no impact? The money of Europeans is used to build warships, so how can we still have money to buy our cars?" Guo Liang from Johannesburg was even more profound. The world today is not what it was 100 years ago. As the world becomes more connected, a world war breaks out, and no one is safe from it.

When he saw Baker, Director Frank took the initiative to greet Baker, hoping that Baker would withdraw his resignation application.

"Your resignation application is still on my desk. I haven't submitted it. You can withdraw it at any time within a month." Frank didn't want Baker to resign. Baker is a talented engineer.

Rhodesia Motors stipulates that it takes a one-month handover period for employees to voluntarily resign, at least after handing over all the work at hand before resigning.

"Thank you Frank, I will seriously consider it." Baker has not yet decided to withdraw his resignation letter, and the report of "The Times" is not enough to make Baker change his mind.

"Beck, do you really want to return to Germany? You have to think about it carefully. After returning to Germany, you will lose the platform of Rhodesia Motors." Werner has a good relationship with Beck and also does not want Beck to return to Germany.

"Have you read the "Times" today? Germany is now gradually moving towards military expansion. This is a dangerous road. The situation Germany is facing now is more dangerous than before the last world war." Guo Liang started from the facts, now If there was another world war, Germany might lose even faster.

Don't listen to the Germans shouting loudly. The war is ultimately a competition of comprehensive national strength. The French built an extremely strong Maginot Line on the French-German border. If the Germans cannot break through, they will still be trapped to death by the British and French forces sooner or later.

"Recovering the Rhineland is just regaining lost ground for Germany. I believe that the German government will learn enough lessons from the last world war. When Germany obtains all the rights that a normal country should have, I think Germany will return from military expansion. on the road to economic construction.” Beck has confidence in the German government, and if Roque was here, Roque would give Beck a popular science about what is **** and capitalism.

At the heart of capitalism is plunder.

The British bourgeois revolution started from the enclosure movement, which was essentially land annexation. The British government not only did not restrict the enclosure movement, but supported the expansion of capitalists, which itself was determined by the characteristics of capitalism.

There is a saying in the Bible: For whoever has, more will be given, and he will have a surplus; whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away.

The translation of this sentence means that the rich will remain rich, and the poor will become poorer.

The solidification of class in the UK is hard for southern Africans to imagine. Another time and space in 2013, a study by the London School of Economics and Political Science showed that in the past 800 years, the social class in the UK has hardly changed, and groups with relatively high social status Continuing to occupy a high position, the poor at the bottom will still be at the bottom even if they work hard.

So now I understand why many rich people like Britain so much, because they hope to last forever.

The best thing is that the rich will always be rich, and the poor will become poorer.

Going back to the issue of Germany, although the conditions in Germany are not as good as those in southern Africa, as long as the German government is willing, Germans can also work hard to create a better life.

The problem is that the Germans don't want to.

Working hard to make money, how can it be more convenient to directly plunder from external expansion.

"No, no, Beck, you are wrong. Once the German government chooses to take back the Rhineland in this way, then Germany is already on the wrong path." Frank did not trust the German government, and the Germans were too impatient.

In recent years, calls for the restoration of Germany's normal national identity have begun to appear in Europe.

If the German government endures for a few more years, maybe it will happen when the time comes, and Germany can take back the Rhineland in a peaceful way.

Now that Germany chooses military adventures, it loses the chance for peace. You must know that military adventures are addictive.

The same is true for a country.

"The Germans just want to get a better life, isn't that wrong?" Baker's face was full of confusion, which was the biggest knot in Baker's mind.

"Of course it's not wrong. Anyone wants to have a better life, even the robbers in the prison. According to your logic, if the robbers use the money they robbed to improve their lives, then there is no need Have they been punished?" Guo Liang's question is profound, the law punishes the behavior itself, not a specific person, and applies to state behavior as well.

To put it bluntly, what you sow causes what you grow. The last world war has proved that since you choose the method of military expansion, you must accept the punishment brought about by military expansion.

But mustache definitely doesn't think so, the punishment for military expansion will only come after failure.

If it was Germany that won the world war last time, then Britain and France must be punished.

and Southern Africa.
