Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2105 Gorgeous Transformation Supply Ship
The "Rhodecia" aircraft carrier is the third of the "Island" class aircraft carrier, with a standard displacement of 30000 tons, a full load displacement of 35000 tons, and a carrying capacity of 128 aircraft. It entered service in November last year.

There is no doubt that the "Island" class aircraft carrier is currently the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world.

With the 128 carrier-based aircraft of the "Rhodecia" and the 108 carrier-based aircraft of the "Basutolan", there are not so many aircraft owned by the Spanish Republican Government and the Falange Party.

The Cyprus Squadron sent a heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, and a Table Mountain-class supply ship.

Regardless of the fact that there are only five warships, the combat effectiveness of the Spanish Navy is also overwhelming.

The Spanish Navy is no longer the glory of the "Invincible Fleet" period. During the Spanish-American War, the Great White Fleet even defeated the Spanish fleet in only 3 minutes.

In fact no battle was fought at all, because the Spanish fleet simply fled, and the naval battle never took place.

In the current Spanish Navy, there are only a few old light cruisers left.

Stimulated by the "Washington Naval Treaty", Spain also proposed a shipbuilding plan in response to the threats from France and Italy, which is the "Canaryas" class heavy cruiser.

"Canarias" has a displacement of 203 tons, and the 1928mm naval guns equipped with it need to be imported from the United Kingdom. In [-], the construction of the first ship of "Canarias" started, but due to the unstable political situation in Spain, the navy's appropriation was seriously insufficient, and the progress was slow. .

It has been seven years since the first ship of "Canarias" was built, and it has not yet been launched.

It is hard to imagine that a [-]-ton treaty-type heavy cruiser has not been launched after seven years of construction, and even the naval guns need to be imported from the UK. Is this Spain, which once had the "Invincible Fleet"?
No wonder even Portugal dares to bully Spain.

When the People's Guard surrounded the manor, off the coast of Valencia, Vice Admiral Mike Tolan, the commander of the Cyprus Squadron, immediately sent a telegram to the Republican government, asking the Republican government to guarantee the safety of Alvin and the members of the guard. "The heavy cruiser" and the other three "Durban" class light cruisers ignited and anchored, approaching the port of Valencia.

This situation immediately attracted the attention of the light cruiser "Admiral Sevilla" of the Spanish Navy.

The "Admiral Sevilla" is the second ship of the "Prince Alfonso" class light cruiser, with a full load displacement of 9145 tons, equipped with eight 152mm main guns, four 102mm guns, and one seaplane.

The data looks pretty good, with a displacement of 9145 tons, it is considered a heavy cruiser according to current standards.

It's a pity that the "Prince Alfonso" class was built ten years ago. There are only three ships in total, and their combat effectiveness is doubtful.

When the Spanish Civil War broke out, most of the senior naval officers were supporters of the National Army, and most of the sailors were supporters of the Republican government.

After the outbreak of the civil war, the National Army once controlled the two most important military ports in Spain, one in the south and the other in the north, namely Cadiz and Ferrol. The sailors launched an uprising and killed all the officers who supported the National Army. The captain of the light cruiser, Jose Gomez, was a former army officer.

The Cyprus Squadron came to meet Alvin's evacuation. Lieutenant General Mike Tolan led the fleet to the coast of Valencia three days ago. However, due to the obstruction of the Republican government, the Alvin Guards have not been able to evacuate.

The Republican government demanded that the Umbrella Corporation return the remaining fees before it could let Alvin go.

When the Republican government decided to continue the implementation of the arms purchase agreement, it paid the 1000 mercenaries under the umbrella for a year in full. This cost was as high as [-] million rand, and the Republican government used gold to pay.

Umbrella will definitely not refund the money. This is because the Republican government has taken the initiative to tear up the agreement, and it is not because the Umbrella Company has breached the contract.

Since the agreement is torn up, the consequences of tearing up the agreement must be borne.

"Tell the Spaniards that if Lord North Sea's manor is attacked, 'Richmond' will bombard the port." Lieutenant Admiral Mike Tolan, two heavy cruisers of the Cyprus Squadron, "Richmond "To meet Alvin, "Bella" went to the Dardanelles. If Alvin's guards were attacked, the Cyprus Squadron would cooperate with the peacekeeping force of the League of Nations to completely block the Dardanelles.

So Lieutenant General Mike Tolan couldn't figure out why the People's Guard dared to surround Alvin's manor.

Just for a few "Alligators"?
Compared with the price paid, this is completely unmatched.

Jose Gomez couldn't figure it out either.

The current international environment of the republic government is getting worse and worse. There are not many countries that support the republic government, and southern Africa is the most important.

After the republican government fully fell to Russia, it has completely lost the support of southern Africa. If southern Africa turns to support the Falange, it will be a disaster for the republican government.

"Send a telegram to the Prime Minister's Office. If the southern Africans launch an attack on Valencia, we may not be able to stop it." Jose Gomez is really not weak and incompetent. Displacement, Jose Gomez knows his own business, the "Admiral Cervera" does not even have enough shells now.

Not to mention shells, these warships of the Spanish Navy don't even have enough fuel now. The endurance of the "Admiral Sevilla" is 5000 nautical miles. Now, the fuel of the "Admiral Sevilla" is even 1000 Can't run in the sea.

This means that even if Cyprus is not fortified, the "Admiral Severa" will not be able to attack Cyprus.

The Spanish mainland is 2900 kilometers away from Cyprus, equivalent to about 1560 nautical miles.

Even with enough shells and enough fuel, the "Admiral Cervella" is no match for the "Richmond".

In terms of displacement, the "Admiral Severa" is about the same as the "Richmond".

But in terms of the caliber of the main gun, the "Admiral Sevilla" is much worse.

The "Richmond" is armed with a 203mm naval gun.

And it's a three-seater triple mount, which is a small battleship.

If there is a fight, let alone the "Richmond" on the "Admiral Sevilla", the three "Durbans" can send the "Admiral Sevilla" to the bottom of the sea.

What's more, there is also a "Table Mountain".

The deck of the "Table Mountain" class supply ship is 170 meters long.

The "Yorktown" in the United States has a flight deck with a total length of 228 meters.

Nowadays, when an aircraft takes off on an aircraft carrier, the taxiing distance does not need to be that long.

Some late models of "Yorktown" were equipped with catapults on the deck, and the carrier-based aircraft could even take off horizontally.

The "Goshawk" fighter jet equipped by the Southern African Navy only needs to take off at a distance of 20 meters when the speed of the aircraft carrier exceeds 80 knots, and the "Sea Harrier" with torpedoes only needs to take off at 110 meters.

So "Table Mountain" can carry planes.

Southern African navies have never used a supply ship as an aircraft carrier before.

After Stoudemire failed to install an aircraft carrier for the Cyprus squadron, the Cyprus squadron emptied the deck of the supply ship, and after installing wooden floors, the aircraft carrying capacity could reach 82, which is only two less than the Japanese "Xianghe". shelf.

Japan's "Xianghe" did not start until 1937.

Japan's "Canglong", which just started construction last year, has only a pitiful 73 aircraft.

The supply ship "Drakens" that came to Spain with the Cyprus Squadron carried a squadron of fighter jets and torpedo bombers.

The flying squadron in southern Africa has 24 aircraft.

So if Mike Tolan is decisive, all the warships of the Spanish Navy can be sunk only by the carrier-based aircraft carried by the "Drakens".

This is not bragging. The 9145-ton "Admiral Sevilla" probably won't last two rounds of torpedoes.

"Drakens" is adjusting its course and speeding up against the sea wind. The carrier-based aircraft on the ship can take off at any time, and the war is about to start.

When Mike Tolland threatened to bombard Valencia, the People's Guard outside Alvin's estate was ready for the attack.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare except for queuing.

The People's Guard has no artillery, only a few machine guns.

Now the machine gunners are extremely nervous, and the "alligators" in the manor are also ready. Once the battle starts, the 40mm grenade launchers will focus on the machine gun positions.

The guards were also nervous.

They do have a high fighting spirit, but that doesn't mean they aren't afraid of death.

Compared with armored vehicles armed to the teeth, the soldiers of the People's Guard can only rely on rifles.

Even if you have no common sense, you know that rifles probably cannot penetrate the armor of armored vehicles.

Major Pedro was riding a tiger. He was brutal, but he was not stupid.

The siege of the estate was not an order of the Republican government, but Major Pedro's own initiative.

As members of the Communist International, Major Pedro came to Spain with a special mission. One of the main purposes is to enable the trade unions of southern African enterprises to play the role the Communist International wants.

The trade unions organized by companies in Southern Africa are different from those in other countries.

Look clearly, it is the trade union of southern African enterprises, and it is organized by southern African enterprises.

In other countries, trade unions are mostly spontaneously organized by workers.

The differences between trade unions in southern Africa and those in other countries have been detailed above.

It was clear that the Comintern was very dissatisfied with the trade unions in southern Africa.

There is now a Labor Party in Britain, the stronghold of capitalism, and there is not even a Labor Party in southern Africa. What kind of trade union is this?
Major Pedro underestimated the toughness of southern Africans.

Unlike the weak petty bourgeoisie in Spain, the southern Africans never compromised. Even Alvin chose to fight to the end when faced with the superior force of the People's Guard.

Just when Major Pedro was riding a tiger, a messenger of the People's Guard rushed to him.

"Major Pedro, General Grishin ordered you to withdraw immediately." The order of the orderly finally made Major Pedro heave a sigh of relief.

"You wait for me, I will be back—" Major Pedro did not forget to say harsh words before leaving.

Alvin didn't say a word, he had never been humiliated like this.
