Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2106-Awakening
Pedro didn't know how big a mistake he had made, and Alvin was still angry when he boarded the "Richmond".

Lieutenant General Mike Tolan was very satisfied with this result, and he said that this is the case.

"Don't be angry, the Spaniards have suffered for themselves, and they will have a very difficult time in the future." Mike Tolan comforted Alvin, who was also serving in the navy, and he and Mike Tolan were real colleagues.

The key is that Alvin is young, and he is already a colonel before he is 30 years old. Mike Tolan was once a highly anticipated rising star of the Southern African Navy, and he was only a major when he was 30 years old.

Although Alvin did nothing in Spain this time, after returning to southern Africa, his military rank will definitely be further improved, and he may become a general soon, and Alvin will be qualified to command a squadron by then.

Not a squadron of the level of the Cyprus squadron.

Instead, it belongs to the squadron under the Grand Fleet.

As for how much Rock attaches to Alvin, it has nothing to do with Mike Tolan. After all, Mike Tolan can achieve this position not by flattery, but by real materials.

"I'd like to stay in Valencia and see how these guys die—" Alvin was really not reconciled. The Spanish Republican government is a typical example of smashing a good card.

If the Spanish Republican government chooses to cooperate with Southern Africa, then the League of Nations will not be so firm in its blockade of the Spanish Republican government, and Britain and France will not be so firm in implementing the appeasement policy considering the position of Southern Africa.

Well now, the Spaniards chose Russia, which caused great vigilance from Britain and France. Before that, Britain and France wanted to contain the expansion of Germany and Italy, and they also supported the republican government.

The stance has now shifted to confront Russian expansion.

Therefore, the current Spanish Republican government does not receive any international assistance except Russia.

Even if Russia goes all out to help the Spanish Republican government regardless of remuneration, the Spaniards are not capable of confronting most of Europe.

Don't forget about America.

Now add Southern Africa—

When Roque knew the decision of the Spanish Republican government, he couldn't help but laugh. The last person who was so confident was Card Dazo.

"You'll see, the Spanish Civil War probably won't end in a short time—" Mike Tolan was actually surprised. After the Russians intervened, the enthusiasm of the People's Guard broke out, which is really surprising.

War is a very complicated matter. If morale can be measured by numbers, before the Russians intervened, the morale of the People's Guard was 60, and now it is 120.
Of course, morale does not determine the direction of the war. Spain is too small, and its strategy is not deep enough. Even if the Republican government has the support of Russia, it is not enough to make a comeback.

Alvin did not go to Cyprus, but took the "Richmond" ship across the Strait of Gibraltar to French Morocco for a short stop, and then returned directly to southern Africa.

It was already November 1935 when Alvin returned to Pretoria.

As 1936 draws to a close, Southern Africa is gearing up for the impending Second World War.

With Roque as a coward, no one in southern Africa has any doubts about the coming of World War II.

During the time Alvin was in Spain, the expansion of the Southern African Army was advancing rapidly, and the army divisions were formed on the basis of the National Guards of each state, and the number has reached 25.
It's just that the establishment has reached 25, and officers and soldiers are still being replenished.

Southern Africa has kept two ace troops for these years, and it finally played a role.

The Rhodesian Northern Division and the First Cavalry Division retire a group of officers and soldiers every year. These officers and soldiers have not completely left the army. After retiring, they will enter the reserve list. Once the federal government needs it, they can return to active duty at any time.

Some officers and soldiers didn't want to leave the army, so they registered with the umbrella company and became a professional mercenary, and this part has now returned to active duty, and they are in good condition and the transition is seamless.

For the navy, the four "island"-class aircraft carriers have all been in service, and Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edward Shipyard are building landing ships, which are preparing for overseas operations.

Four "island" class aircraft carriers, two each in the Indian Ocean Fleet and Atlantic Fleet, four of the six "City" class ships in the Indian Ocean Fleet, and four battleships returned to the factory for modernization again. Their main task in the future is escort.

To Roque's comfort, the generals of the navy finally no longer required battleships.

The southern African navy has now completely accepted the idea of ​​​​building an army with an aircraft carrier as the core.

The four existing battleships have to be transferred to escort, and the rebuilt battleships can only be fake, so it is better to simply build cruisers, especially light cruisers.

The current southern African navy operates with aircraft carriers as the core, and the main type of ships is actually light cruisers.

The armament system of the "Durban" class light cruisers has also been upgraded.

In the past, there were 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns on "Durban".

Now the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns have all been removed and replaced by twin and quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft guns.

After the transformation of "Durban", the caliber of the main gun is still 152, the number of quadruple-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft guns has increased to 6, and the number of dual-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft guns has increased to 12. The anti-aircraft firepower is unprecedentedly powerful.

As for the seaplanes commonly carried on British and American light cruisers, they have never been carried on "Durban".

However, after the successful development of the helicopter, a helicopter platform was added to the "Durban", and its main function is anti-submarine.

In addition to the army and navy, the air force also has big moves.

The year before last, two airborne divisions were established in southern Africa, which put forward higher requirements for the air force's projection capabilities.

The requirements are high, but the solution is very simple, after all, the equipment is ready-made.

The transport plane used for airborne is actually similar to the heavy long-range bomber, and it can be used after taking it and modifying it, which is very convenient.

The Marine Corps has heavy equipment for the airborne troops, such as light tanks, armored vehicles, and light artillery. Tanks and armored vehicles are also amphibious, and their performance is obviously redundant.

The crazy expansion of the army has resulted in a sharp increase in military expenditures.

Fortunately, the economic situation in southern Africa has been good in recent years, and the federal government can still support it.

But this also raises a very serious problem.

With so many soldiers in southern Africa, would a mustache and a fat bald head dare to start a world war?
Rock is not worried about this issue at all. Don't underestimate the ambitions of Mustache and Fat Bald. Rock only wants to fish in troubled waters. Mustache and Fat Bald want to change the world directly.

Looking at the current Spanish battlefield, Britain and France are implementing a policy of appeasement, the relationship between Southern Africa and the Spanish Republican government has broken down, and the United States has always supported the Falange Party. In other words, the position of the United States is the same as that of Germany and Italy.

If Rock had a mustache, Rock would be supercilious. After all, the situation is very good.

Germany has now fully broken through the "Contract of Versailles" and took back the Rhineland by force. Although Mustache failed to plan the German-Austrian merger a few years ago, new opportunities have emerged recently.

Do you still remember the assassinated prime minister of Austria? That was the first time Mustache planned the merger of Germany and Austria. Because of the strong opposition from Britain and France, Mustache's plan failed.

Britain and France are still very vigilant about the merger of Germany and Austria. Once Germany and Austria merge, Germany will greatly increase its strength and pose a real threat to Britain and France.

Now that the civil war broke out in Spain, it is another golden opportunity for Mustache.

Alvin returned to Pretoria and went to find Rock as soon as possible.

"What do you gain from this trip to Spain?" Rock was still looking forward to Alvin.

"My fishing skills are very good now—" Alvin has matured a lot, which is what Rock wants to see most.

"You can go fishing with the president some other day." Rock was referring to Kitchina.

After retiring, Kitchina has not been idle, and has held positions in several Southern African civil associations, one of which is the Fishing Association, and Kitchina serves as the honorary president.

"Now I know the biggest difference between European countries and our southern Africa." Alvin made rapid progress and was thinking while fishing.

Rock is very satisfied, all experiences will make people grow, and Alvin seems to be on the right path now.

"I'm very fortunate that there is a stable federal government in southern Africa. This is the biggest difference between us and European countries." Alvin came to Rock to report to work.

"Compared with the content of the policy, the continuity of the policy is more important. If you look at the current European situation, Spain, the United Kingdom and France are all caught in political strife and cannot get out of it. As a result, the country's development has been greatly affected. On the contrary, Germany and Italy, they With a relatively stable central government, the economy has developed rapidly in recent years—” Alvin had been unable to figure out what the politicians in Britain and France were thinking.

Now Alvin has figured it out. It's not that the politicians in Britain and France are tossing around, it's just that they believe that only their own political parties can lead Britain and France to move forward.

The problem is that they cannot gain the trust of the people.

Long term trust.

"I want to go back to Nyasaland and run for Congress." Alvin decided to devote himself to politics, which was a pleasant surprise to Rock.

Alvin has always wanted to make contributions like Rock, so he has been serving in the military all these years. From the army to the air force to the navy, Alvin has experienced everything.

Now that Alvin finally understands the meaning of politics, Rock is very happy.

Then try it first.

Not to mention other states, Alvin wants to run in Nyasaland without any pressure, and the people of Nyasaland will give Alvin full trust.

This requires Alvin to prove with actual achievements that he is worthy of the trust of the Nyasaland people.

What Rock didn't expect was that Alvin's courage was far greater than Rock imagined.

Running for Congress is only the first step for Alvin. Alvin's goal is to cancel all political parties in southern Africa except the Liberal Party.
