Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2129 Seeds of the Future

For business, especially this kind of national business, there will always be a lot of gray expenses.

Whale Bay Ocean Shipping Company also paid a lot of cost in order to win this business.

As a result, Nyasaland Military Industry only delivered the goods once, and the entire order was cancelled, and all the initial investment of Walvis Bay Ocean Shipping Company was in vain.

Now that someone is willing to take over this batch of goods, Walvis Bay Ocean Shipping Company will definitely recover the cost of the initial investment.

Even so, compared with the cost of 10,000+, Sikorsky still took advantage of this batch of weapons and ammunition that has become a "last order in foreign trade".

The only loser is the French government.

It was also after Brewster raised this question that Sikorski realized that 10,000+ rand is not a small sum.

The ratio of rand to gold is still maintained at about one to one.

16.5 rand, roughly equivalent to 165 kilograms of gold.

From this point of view, it is actually not much, 0.165 tons, some strong men can carry it by themselves.

Brewster just questioned, and after learning about the actual situation, he happily wrote out a check.

What Sikorski didn't know was that the money was not paid by the Rhodes Foundation, but by the generous Polish immigrants in southern Africa.

As an immigrant country, there are naturally many Polish immigrants in southern Africa. Although the total number is only about 5, the economic strength of southern Africans is very strong, and it is easy to reach 10,000+.

After the outbreak of the European War, the Rhodes Foundation and the foundation under the name of Phyllis both started corresponding projects for European aid.

Relatively speaking, the aid of the Rhodes Foundation tends to be military.

The foundation under the name of Phyllis is more inclined to people's livelihood.

With the help of the Rhodes Foundation, the Polish Highland Brigade finally solved the problem of weapons and equipment.

A new problem has arisen.

What Brewster said the day before yesterday was like a thorn, piercing directly into Sikorski's heart.

Most of the soldiers of the Polish Highland Brigade have not received complete military training. Even if they have advanced weapons and equipment, they still cannot escape the fate of being massacred on the battlefield.

Sikorski wanted the Polish Highland Brigade to receive full military training before being sent to the battlefield.

But the British and French allied forces are facing such an urgent situation, how could Neville give the Polish Highland Brigade too much time.

"It would be great if we left the UK, so that we would no longer be under the control of the British government." Graalski made no secret of his hatred for the British government. At the beginning, Sikorski put the government in exile for long-term considerations. Based in London, that choice, in retrospect, was an ill-advised choice.

Nor can Sikorski be blamed.

Before the outbreak in Europe, who would have thought that the British government and the French government would be so timid as a mouse.

No one thought that Poland, known as "destroying Germany in three days", would lose so quickly.

After all, Britain and France have ruled the world for hundreds of years.

Sikorski believes that the British government and the French government should have a bottom line.

It now appears that the bottom line of the British government is that the French should not cross the English Channel.

The bottom line for the French is that as long as Germany does not attack France, the Germans can do whatever they want.

"We do have a troop that is undergoing training in Port Elizabeth. The total number is about 15000, and it is still increasing rapidly. Hundreds of people arrive in Port Elizabeth through Cyprus every day. Their lives in Port Elizabeth are not bad. Southern Africans are not They didn’t abuse them.” Graalski’s ability is good, good birds choose trees to live in, and they can’t always hang on the crooked neck tree in England.

"Will Southern Africans support us?" Someone questioned the determination of Southern Africa, which has not joined the war yet.

"At least it won't be worse than it is now." Graalski is decisive. Without the permission of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, Umbrella Company will never allow the Poles to form an army in Port Elizabeth, let alone send instructors to train the Polish army. .

The final decision rests with Sikorski.

Sikorski picked up the phone: "Please connect me to the Southern African embassy in the UK—"

When Sikorski made his decision, nearly 4500 young people from Poland were being trained in Port Elizabeth, [-] kilometers away, and Wolski was one of them.

The Umbrella Company treated these young people really well. Although the training was hard and even harsh, Volsky knew that it was for their own good, and if the instructors cut corners during the training, it would be irresponsible to them.

Everything is fine except training.

These young people who fled Poland in a hurry were penniless when they arrived in Port Elizabeth, and some of them didn't even have shoes.

The umbrella company provides them with uniform clothing, field windbreaker, multi-pocket pants, military backpack, short military boots, even socks and underwear are all carefully made. Wolski, who just turned 20 this year, never even had a wear such nice clothes.

In addition to clothing, the logistical support surprised Volski even more.

Wolski ate Southern African luncheon meat while in Poland.

Only once, when Wolski came of age at 18.

In Port Elizabeth, luncheon meat is a must-have food at noon every day, one box per person.

From the initial surprise, to gradually getting used to it, and then, like his company commander Buruk, Volsky felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach when he saw luncheon meat.

Luncheon meat is too greasy, too much animal fat and vegetable oil are added. There is indeed meat, but it has been smashed into pieces. The nutrition is enough, and the taste is hard to describe.

Every day, delicacies from mountains and seas, lobster and geoduck, will get tired of eating one day.

So Buruk always eats fast, especially when he eats luncheon meat.

Volski found that Buruke never chewed lunch meat, but swallowed it in one bite. According to Buruke, the meat is broken anyway, and it can be digested well even if he doesn't chew it.

The attitude of the umbrella company towards food is still very strict, eat whatever you want, but don't waste it.

Buruk is not a Pole, but a Cossack, a senior mercenary of the Umbrella Company, and a southern African nationality.

The relationship between the Poles and the Cossacks is actually very bad. For hundreds of years, the Cossacks have acted as the czar's pawns and caused countless injuries to Poland.

However, Volsky doesn't hate Buruk. On the contrary, Volsky believes that Buruk is a responsible and qualified officer who treats the soldiers as close as a big brother. This makes Volsky directly ignore Buruk. grams of ethnic groups.

There is no such thing as a minority in southern Africa. After the Cossacks became a member of the southern African nationality, they were also members of the southern African family.

The daily training tasks are fully arranged. After completing the day's training tasks, Volski is physically exhausted, but his spirit is very uplifting.

The Umbrella Company has a lot of tricks, and there are activities arranged every night. Of course, movies and dances make the young people's hormones unrestrained, and there are many cases of emergency gatherings at night. I don't have the mind to think about it.

For Volsky, the dance after dinner is what he looks forward to the most, especially the girls at the ball. If Volsky can get a chance to dance with the girls, it will make Volsky Have fun all day.

The situation in the past two days is a bit special. There is news from the second division next door that a high-ranking Polish official may arrive in Port Elizabeth in a few days, and may take over the command of the Polish army at that time.

This made Woerski very worried. The abilities of the senior officers of the Polish army had been fully proved in the Polish campaign. It was worthless for Woerski not to want to die.

"Don't worry, the Umbrella Company has put so much effort into you and won't let you become cannon fodder." Buruk had full confidence in the Umbrella Company, and he also sneered at the abilities of senior Polish officers.

However, it seems that Sikorski's ability is not bad. At least Sikorski is willing to accept new things, and his understanding of war is far better than those of the old generals of the Polish army. He should not repeat the same mistakes.

"Sir, we are willing to die for Poland, but it is worthless not to die." Wolski said frankly, this is also the common aspiration of all Polish soldiers.

"That's right, I don't want to work for those old men anymore."

"We want to build a new Poland, a brand new Poland!"

The soldiers talked a lot.

Buruk is very satisfied. These soldiers trained by the umbrella company will be seeds in the future, which will take root in Poland.

So when Sikorski arrived in Port Elizabeth, he couldn't believe his eyes.

As mentioned earlier, the Polish army is dominated by cavalry and has the largest cavalry in the world.

Since it is mainly cavalry, the training method must still be the way before World War I.

The training method of the Umbrella Company is similar to the training method of the southern African military. It is high-intensity and scientific in many ways. The trained troops will naturally have a different spirit.

In order to welcome Sikorski, the Polish soldiers held a grand welcome ceremony, and all soldiers were well-equipped to welcome Sikorski's review.

With an army of 2 people, it is still very imposing to pull them all out.

The Umbrella Company also deliberately drove out a few tanks and armored vehicles, so the troops had the momentum of mechanized troops.

When the soldiers saluted Sikorski with their guns in hand, Sikorski almost burst into tears.

"We should move the government to southern Africa, so that we can really get a chance to restore the country." Graalski was overwhelmed, and the army in front of him was Poland's hope.

Sikorski suppressed his excitement and did not express his opinion immediately.

Although southern Africa is good, it is too far away from Europe. Sikorski still has a glimmer of hope for Britain and France.

After the surrender of France in another time and space, the number of Polish troops was second only to the British army, and it was the second largest force within the Allies.

By then, London should have given the Polish Army real weight.
