Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2070 The Honor of the Cyprus Squadron
Combined, Germany and France have not split Nyasalanda before.

The two countries have similar climate conditions, similar traffic conditions, and similar geographical environment. The tanks specially developed by Nyasaland Military Industry for France are more advanced than the tanks developed by the Germans themselves, and perfectly meet the requirements of the Germans.

While the key southern African tanks are technologically advanced, they are also cheaper.

After all, the cost advantage is huge, and all kinds of raw materials are ridiculously cheap. It is useless for the Germans to work hard on this point, and the gap cannot be made up at all.

What are the French most worried about?
Threat from Germany!
Then Southern Africa will strengthen military cooperation with Germany to amplify this threat as revenge against France.

This can also explain why Mike Tolan's attitude towards Darlan was so tough at the joint meeting before the start of the exercise.

"So, the French's worries are not groundless—" James fanned the flames.

Britain is Europe's crap stick.

France is the largest cesspit in Europe.

Perfect match!

"The French are in the mood to worry about this, so it's better to worry about how to improve the Maginot Line." Captain Hanke didn't care what the French thought at all.

The Southern African Staff Department has made a response plan for the outbreak of a world war and the rapid surrender of France. It doesn't matter what the French think.

This is really not a daily breastfeeding method, the key thing the French do is too good.

The French are still trying to contact the Rand Bank and the Rhodesian Bank, hoping to obtain funds from southern Africa for the construction of the Maginot Line.

It can be seen that France's internal decision-making is extremely chaotic and has no continuity. If the French government did not tear up the arms purchase order with southern Africa before, then the French government will not encounter such great difficulties now.

Captain Hank did not take James and Hamilton to the naval port, but first came to the honor room of the Cyprus Squadron.

James and Hamilton were too confused.

The Cyprus Squadron was established after the end of the World War. Since its establishment, the Cyprus Squadron has not participated in wars. Where is the honor?
On this point, Captain Hank's understanding is completely different from that of James and Hamilton.

Not all military honors have to be earned on the battlefield.

"The Cyprus Squadron was established in 1921. Although it has been established for a short time, it has already established a fleet tradition centered on 'honor, sacrifice, bravery, and justice'—" Captain Hanke was full of pride.

The honor room is very large, and there is a long row of military flags displayed in the display cabinet by the wall, most of which are the flags of the former Ottoman Empire troops, which should have been captured during the World War.

This surprised James and Hamilton a bit.

Not surprised by the sheer number of flags.

Instead, I was surprised by the thick skin of the Cyprus squadron.

When the Cyprus Squadron was established, the Ottoman Empire had already been destroyed.

Therefore, most of these military flags are the spoils of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.

But it was used by the Cyprus Squadron to whitewash it.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the heir of the Royal Navy——

In addition to the military flag, there are also some other trophies, such as the commander's knife of a senior officer, the royal supplies of the Ottoman Empire, and some personal items used by Rock, etc.

A fighter jet is parked in the center of the honor room.

real fighter.

The chickens were sprayed with the Ottoman symbols, but were produced by Nyasaran Air.

This is interesting.

Aircraft produced in Southern Africa, sold to the Ottomans.

Then Southern Africa was seized from the battlefield and placed in the honor room for people to see.

Just squeeze out the last trace of residual value.

"Since its establishment, the Cyprus Squadron has become an important force for maintaining peace and stability in the Mediterranean region. In many geological disasters, the Cyprus Squadron has also played an important role. We are always the first to appear where it is most needed, on the Asia Minor peninsula , we protect refugees holding Nansen passports to go to Europe. In North Africa, we provide assistance to the North Africans who are living in difficulties. Last summer, when the Greek flood hit, two of our sailors even gave their precious lives for rescuing the victims—”

James and Hamilton could feel the restrained emotions under Captain Hank's calm expression.

After visiting the honor room, Captain Hank finally brought James and Hamilton to his office.

"Your reports should focus on the honors gained by the Cyprus Squadron, rather than the conflicts between the combined fleets. That will seriously affect our relationship and allow the enemy to take advantage of it." Captain Hank said directly, Not only the words are direct, but also the hands are generous.

After visiting the honor room, Captain Hank prepared a small gift for each of James and Hamilton.

On the way to the office, James, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, secretly opened the paper bag and took a look.

The gift was worth a lot of money. In the paper bag was a gold pen produced by Eternal and a men's watch that James had wanted for a long time.

This is short-handed.

Even if Captain Hank didn't say anything, James and Hamilton knew how to write a press release.

Back at the hotel, James and Hamilton did not forget to exchange experiences.

"I will focus on the warships of the United Fleet today. If I hadn't come, I would never have imagined that the Mediterranean Fleet still has warships from 30 years ago." Hamilton has his own plans.

Indeed, it is just an old transport ship that does not have much requirements for performance.

However, compared with the Cyprus Squadron, the Mediterranean Fleet is a bit shabby.

The warships in service of the Cyprus Squadron are all cutting-edge warships newly built within ten years.

The development of naval technology is changing with each passing day. Not to mention 30 years ago, the technology of ten years ago has fallen behind today. How much combat power can the current Royal Navy maintain compared with the last world war?
Very doubtful.

"If you write like this, then the facts will not be changed in any way, but General Pound should be very happy." James still doesn't understand the ultimate meaning of news.

"The whole Royal Navy will be happy because they have the opportunity to fight for more military spending - and the readers should be happy because they have another reason to blame Parliament and the Royal Navy - and the editor will be even happier because there is only breaking news Only in order to promote sales - Congress should be the most unhappy, but who cares, my salary is not paid by Congress." Hamilton laughed, what kind of photos are taken of the next generation of Cypriot Barons, and journalists are the ones who criticize the current situation vocation.

James was speechless, and a new door seemed to be slowly opened.

The next day, James started working again. Today, James' task is random interviews on the street.

The interview started with the lobby manager of the Rhodesia Hotel.

"Why worry? The Cyprus Squadron will protect us!" The girl from Rhodesia was full of confidence in the Cyprus Squadron.

"The Cyprus Squadron is practicing evacuation—" James tried to guide.

"Even if the worst happens, the Cyprus squadron will be the last to evacuate. We not only have confidence in the Cyprus squadron, but also in the federal government of Southern Africa."

James can only lament that the patriotic education in southern Africa is doing so well.

Every country has patriotic education.

Britain also has it, even the national anthem is "God Save the Queen".

Too bad it didn't work well.

The national anthem of Southern Africa is "March of the Expeditionary Army".

Not to mention the lyrics and score.

Just look at the name.

The ideas and emotions to be expressed in the two songs are completely different.

"If, I mean if, if Cyprus faced invasion, as an ordinary person, what would you do?" James did not deliberately guide this time.

"Do you think I'm just a vase that can only say 'Welcome'? I am a member of the Southern African Rifle Association and a registered hunter with the Hunter Association. Pick up my gun and kill the enemy!" The lobby manager was furious, thinking about this kind of thing makes people very angry.

James was completely defeated.

Since James graduated, James has never touched a gun again.

Even at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, James' marksmanship was not at an excellent level.

Even by UK standards.

James' shooting performance is only qualified.

And it's barely qualified.

Leaving the hotel, a group of children in school uniforms lined up under the banner of boy scouts.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street applauded one after another, their eyes were full of love, their smiles were bright, and the street was full of aunts laughing.

James took a few quick steps to catch up with the teacher next to the line.

"Ma'am, where are you going?"

"Go to the pier, we have received an order to cooperate with the Cyprus Squadron's exercise." The teacher has a ponytail baseball cap, an iron-gray military backpack, a short-sleeved shirt and overalls of the same color, and short military boots that wrap around the ankles. Heroic and valiant.

"Wouldn't this affect children's learning?" James is well aware of how much government at all levels of the Southern African Federation attaches importance to education.

"What were you thinking? It's a rare opportunity to teach patriotism, to give children a chance to learn how their parents worked so hard for their well-being. Isn't it worth more than a turkey at Christmas Is it?" The teacher's face was full of frost.

James is really wronged, Americans only eat turkey at Christmas, and the British eat roast goose at Christmas.

James still wanted to ask, a policeman on the side of the street waved to James.

James had to give up the interview.

"Morning Post—French?" The policeman didn't seem to read newspapers very often.

Not necessarily, the best-selling newspaper in Cyprus is The Times.

"British—" James was speechless, and the "Morning Post" was also very famous.

"Oh, oh, you can interview, but it can't affect the normal order, I will stare at you—" The policeman looked at James, which made James very uncomfortable.

It's the kind of look that looks at a suspect.

occupational disease.
