Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2087 Weapon Proving Ground

The United States in another time and space completed the complete subversion of the old order with the help of two world wars.

The Americans do everything they can to make money. They borrow money after draining the treasury of European countries. When the loans cannot be repaid, they introduce the "Lend-Lease Act". Joining the battle in the end is simply a bone-sucking marrow.

Southern Africa is now going the way of the Americans, leaving the Americans nowhere to go.

In terms of resources, southern Africa is richer than the United States.

In terms of technology, southern Africa is more advanced than the United States.

Even in terms of human resources, southern Africa has now gradually caught up with the United States.

The "catch up" here refers only to the population.

In terms of quality, southern Africa has already surpassed the United States.

Don't forget that since the World War, southern Africa has become the first choice for European immigrants.

Even Americans are emigrating to southern Africa.

This is what Rock wants to see.

Rock didn't want to see a long Cold War after the World War.

I don't even want the American family to dominate the world in the future, and let those North American slave owners control the world.

Rock hopes that the lunar exploration project will not stop due to inexplicable reasons, and continue to explore further into deep space after exploring the moon.

Rock didn't want a certain country to rely on global blood transfusions to maintain its international status.

From this perspective, the United States is no different from the landlords in feudal society.

Rock still attaches great importance to orders from Spain.

Sidney Milner, under Rock's instruction, set up a business organization to be responsible for business negotiations in this area.

There are many members in the organization, and all famous companies in southern Africa are included, especially in the military industry, Nyasaland Military Industry, Nyasaland Heavy Industry, Nyasaland Aviation, Shipbuilding Group, etc. are all among them.

Umbrella companies are also involved.

In response to the upcoming Spanish Civil War, Umbrella Corporation provided a comprehensive plan for the Spanish Republican government, providing a full range of services for the Republican government, and helping the Republican government win the civil war.

Umbrella companies are also experienced in this regard.

After all, in Brazil, the umbrella company has fully proved its ability to help the Michigan government defeat the US-Pakistan coalition forces.

It was Lu Shao, the general manager of the umbrella company, who contacted Clavi Calderon on behalf of the umbrella company.

"The federal government of Southern Africa is restricted by the League of Nations and cannot cooperate with the Republican government. Our umbrella is a commercial company with unrestricted commercial freedom. We can provide everything you need, aircraft, tanks, warships, and instructors. If the Republican government If necessary, we can even directly send troops to participate in the war - of course, it must be in the name of volunteering." Lu Shao took everything, and Umbrella Company had already broken through the so-called "non-participation in disputes between major powers" restrictions.

As a paramilitary organization, the Umbrella Company has more than [-] registered mercenaries throughout the year.

There are a large number of professionals among them, and the Umbrella Company can even form a staff consisting entirely of senior military officers. For this alone, the strength of the Umbrella Company has surpassed most countries in the world.

As for the volunteers, there was an exclusive name called "International Column" in the Spanish Civil War.

"The price you offer is much more expensive than that of the Americans—" Clavi Calderon landed and paid back the money. The price of weapons provided by southern Africa is about [-]% higher than the price of weapons provided by American companies.

Such as the largest number of rifles.

The improved version of Lee Enfield sold in southern Africa is priced at 75 rand each.

The price quoted by Springfield in the United States is equivalent to 68 rand.

Spain has a certain military industry capacity in the country, but the production capacity is insufficient, and there is still a large demand for rifles.

The Spanish Republican government has ordered the mobilization of 35 troops across the country, and the demand for rifles is about 20.

This can be seen to what extent Spain's armaments have been relaxed.

Regardless of the fact that southern Africa is full of aircraft carriers and submarines all day long, the annual military budget of southern Africa is beyond the number of countries in the world that can afford it.

Don't look at Spain's current weakness, but people are serious global colonial generations. At the peak of the Armada, the British were still playing pirates.

From 1545 to 1560, the Spanish Navy brought back 5500 kilograms of gold and 24.6 kilograms of silver from overseas.

By the end of the 16th century, 83% of the world's precious metal mining was obtained by Spain.

Therefore, although Spain has a serious lack of presence, it has a solid foundation, which is no worse than Britain and France.

But even in such Spain, the annual military budget is kept to a minimum, and it is placed in southern Africa, not to mention the Indian Ocean Fleet, and it is not even enough to maintain the Cyprus Squadron.

"There is a reason why you are expensive. What we provide is a solution, not a simple arms purchase agreement. Our purpose is to help you win the war, not to make money." The goal is world peace.

A company that serves wars for a living, but its goal is world peace, sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn't it?

But many times it is just like that. After the Umbrella Corporation helped the new Brazilian government win the Brazilian Civil War, it did bring long-lost peace to Brazil. In this alone, the Umbrella Corporation is greater than the United States.

And the key point is that although the price of the rifle is a bit expensive, it is actually not expensive on a comprehensive basis.

The rifle equipped by the Spanish army is the Mauser rifle of the same origin as the American Springfield, with the same caliber of 7.62, five rounds of ammunition capacity, and an effective range of 800 meters.

Lee Enfield's improved version also has a caliber of 7.62 mm, but the ammunition capacity is ten rounds. Compared with Mauser, Lee Enfield's improved version has a slightly lower effective range, better accuracy at medium and short distances, and has obvious advantages.

Don't look at the 98K in the game, you will think that the accuracy of the Mauser rifle is high. In fact, the accuracy of the Mauser is not even as good as the [-]th.

This is simply talking about accuracy, and its power is far inferior to that of Mauser.

Lee Enfield's improved model combines the strengths of various companies. The most obvious advantage is the rate of fire. It can be said that except for the semi-automatic rifles currently in service in the Southern African Army, Lee Enfield's rate of fire is the fastest among all rifles in the world.

This is why Lee Enfield is more expensive than Springfield.

Moreover, weapons in southern Africa are expensive, and other things are cheap, such as oil. The price quoted by Adan to the Spaniards is about 15.00% cheaper than Texaco in the United States, and [-]% cheaper than Rockefeller.

This is just a quotation, and if the shipping fee is added, the advantage of Adan Company is even more obvious.

"Without the permission of the federal government, can your umbrella company directly send mercenaries?" Clavi Calderon doubted the business capabilities of the umbrella company.

"Hehehe, Umbrella Company is a commercial company—" Lu Shao smiled. This is the benefit of a package agreement. For oil and mercenaries, even if the price of the rifle is a little more expensive, Clavi Calderon can still accept it.

Of course, the Republican government can also buy oil from southern Africa and rifles from the United States.

But in this way, the republican government will not please both sides, and it may offend both sides.

In terms of military vehicles, Nyasaland Heavy Industries can provide the Spanish Republican government with active military vehicles equipped by the southern African military.

This is also an advantage that American car companies do not have.

In terms of automobiles in the United States, Ford is in contact with Spain.

Ford Motor has long been the underdog of southern African automakers.

And a company known for making cheap cars will struggle to compete with southern African automakers when it comes to trucks.

This is not true either, and Ford does not have any advantage over southern African automakers in terms of price.

On behalf of Nyasaran Heavy Industries, it was Harrison Cooper, general manager of Nyasaran Heavy Industries, who contacted Calderon.

"Niasaran Heavy Industry has a long history. We built the world's first tractor in 1903, the world's first real car in 1905, and we began to produce armored vehicles in 1907. The 'Tiger' currently in service in southern Africa The "Leopard" tanks are all produced by Nyasaland Heavy Industries." When mentioning the history of Nyasaland Heavy Industries, Harrison Cooper was full of pride.

This statement is half-truth and half-false, and it must be mixed with bragging, but there is no doubt about the strength of Nyasaland Heavy Industries, which is one of the most powerful military enterprises in the world.

"Why is there no 'Tiger' and 'Leopard' in this list?" Like all those who want to purchase tanks, Calderon is most concerned about the "Tiger" and "Leopard".

After all, let’s not talk about the performance, these two names sound very powerful.

"The most advanced is not the best, but the most suitable is the best—" Harrison Cooper earnestly said that the Spaniards, like the French, are ambitious.

It's not too ambitious, who doesn't like good things, the price Nyasaland Heavy Industries offers for tanks is not much cheaper than the "Leopard" type.

"The Falange has reached an agreement with the Germans to obtain a large number of No. [-] tanks from Germany. I can guarantee that the No. [-] tank is definitely not the opponent of the 'Biao Cavalry'. If they meet on the battlefield, a 'Piao Cavalry' can easily Against ten Panzer Ones." Harrison Cooper was well informed, and it was no secret that the Germans had begun production of tanks.

In the Treaty of Versailles, tanks are also banned.

The Germans are still very talented in machinery. Karl Benz and Rudolf Diesel are all Germans.

However, in terms of tanks, there is still a gap between Germany and southern Africa.

Germany's No. [-] tank has similar performance to the Renault produced by France during the last world war. According to the standards of southern Africa, it is not even a light tank, but an enhanced version of an armored vehicle.

In order to test the performance of the No. [-] tank through the war, Germany exported a large number of the No. [-] tank to the Spanish Falange to help the Spanish Falange form an armored force.

It's amazing, a country that has not even had tanks for more than ten years wants to help another country that has never been subject to any restrictions to develop armored forces.

Rock also hopes to test the performance of southern African weapons on the Spanish battlefield.
