Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2371 Transfer of Benefits
The news that 40 precision-guided bombs from the United States had zero hits spread to southern Africa, and Roque didn't know how to evaluate it.

Not to mention precision-guided bombs, even ordinary bombs should not hit zero in 3000 rounds at an altitude of [-] meters.

"We shot a total of four, and three of them hit the target accurately. The one that didn't hit was launched at an altitude of 12000 meters. The weather was not very good at that time, and the clouds were too thick, which affected the transmission of radio signals." Gavin volunteered for Credit to the relevant personnel, he has a very good relationship with Nikola Tesla, Robert Goddard, Abramovich, Diesel and other southern African technology giants.

Gavin's status is a bit special. Although the title system has been abolished in Southern Africa, the Roque family still has absolute appeal in Nyasaland. As Roque's eldest son, Gavin is very popular with the Nyasaland people.

Many scientific research institutions in southern Africa are located in Nyasaland. Gavin himself is a scientific researcher and has made great contributions to biological improvement in southern Africa. The Southern African tech scene is widely acclaimed.

The "Starry Sky Award" is not only an honor, but also a generous bonus. With the bonus, you can easily become a rich man.

Gavin is neither short of money nor status. In the past two years, he has finally stepped out of the laboratory and held positions in various industry associations in southern Africa, and served as the secretary-general of the Federal Government Patent Commission.

As a scientific researcher, Gavin attaches great importance to intellectual property rights. The Federal Government of Southern Africa is very strict about the protection of intellectual property rights, and some fields are almost harsh.

After Gavin served as the Secretary-General of the Patent Committee, he pushed Congress to improve the Patent Law, which not only better protected the interests of scientific researchers, but also revised some inappropriate clauses, which was widely praised.

"Relevant personnel can be rewarded, but don't publicize it widely. It's not the time to make it public yet." Rock is not in a hurry.

Southern Africa not only has precision-guided bombs, but also conducts research on surface-to-surface missiles and anti-ship missiles.

"Precision-guided bombs" are limited by conditions, and their role is not outstanding enough. Long-range surface-to-surface missiles, surface-to-surface missiles, air-to-air missiles, and ship-to-ship missiles that can be launched by warships are the key.

After the camera was installed on the bomb, the guidance technology made a qualitative leap.

Southern Africa has already sent man-made aircraft into space, and the flight distance of missiles is no longer an obstacle. Last year, the range of the missiles tested in southern Africa was only 1000 kilometers, and now it has doubled.

"If it is made public, will it have a deterrent effect on the enemy?" Gavin's thinking is inevitably affected by the war.

In the context of the outbreak of war, southern Africa is like a huge precision instrument, which is running fast, and everyone is serving the war.

Of course, Gavin is no exception. He is also a soldier now and serves as a member of the War Council.

Some time ago, some members of Congress proposed to expand the age of conscription in southern Africa from the previous 22 to 18.

This proposal was strongly opposed by Gavin, who made his first speech in Congress, calling on Congress to exclude young people under the age of 20 from the scope of conscription.

And it is hoped that the federal government will recruit more Union troops to replace the purely southern African army and go to various parts of the world.

It may be that he stayed in the laboratory for too long and dissected too many animals. Gavin's attitude towards life is a bit complicated. If people from other countries can be used instead of southern Africans to sacrifice, Gavin has no psychological burden, even Take it for granted.

Southern Africa is now the stronghold of the Allied forces, providing logistical support for all Allied forces. Even women in Southern Africa have entered factories and worked day and night. Other allied countries should send more soldiers to fight.

Of course, Gavin still attaches great importance to southern Africans.

During his time on the War Council, Gavin pushed Congress to implement a stricter eight-hour workday, limiting workers to a 48-hour work week, and advocated for changes to business owners who violated the Labor Law. Severe punishment.

This is not just talk, Gavin set an example, first starting to implement the new "Labor Law" from the enterprises under the Locke family, and at the same time persuading Stoudemire and Henry to work together.

In southern Africa, as long as the three parties agree, there is no policy that cannot be implemented.

Gavin also attaches great importance to the protection of the rights and interests of women and children.

After the outbreak of the world war, more and more immigrants poured into southern Africa, mainly women and children.

For those new immigrants who have come to Southern Africa but have not yet acquired Southern African citizenship, they could not enjoy the relevant policies of Southern Africa before.

Gavin pushed Congress to simplify the naturalization process. For women and children living in difficulties, even during the waiting period for naturalization, they will be taken care of by the federal government, so that school-age children will not be delayed in enrolling due to the waiting period, and women's lives will be guaranteed. more conducive to social stability.

At the same time, Gavin is still promoting the collection of property tax and inheritance tax, using these bills to effectively reduce the gap between rich and poor, collect more taxes on high-income groups, and give more help to people who are impoverished due to diseases and accidents. This move Not only has it been praised by Congress, but also supported by Roque.

The reason why Winston is so worried about Russia is that once the Russian model comes to the UK, the vested interests in the UK will be overthrown.

As a member of the British vested interest class, Winston naturally wants to maintain the current British system.

The system implemented in southern Africa is similar to that of the United Kingdom, and Rock has similar concerns.

Therefore, Rock is very supportive of Gavin's efforts to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor and give more help to low-income people.

No, not all low-income groups will receive help.

Not everyone works hard. There must be people who are lazy and lazy, and there are still many. It is difficult for these people to get relief from the federal government. It's a dream.

"The war has already progressed to such an extent. How can it be possible for the enemy to surrender voluntarily just for deterrence." Rock is pragmatic, and some words cannot be said too clearly. The non-disclosure is not only to keep the enemy secret, but also to guard against those so-called "Allies".

The current "allies" are also temporary. If there is no threat from Germany, let alone other countries, southern Africa and the United Kingdom, because their interests in the Mediterranean can be done.

The United Kingdom has fallen, and the ambitions of the Americans are getting bigger and bigger. During the Brazilian Civil War, southern Africa and the United States fought against each other. At that time, the Americans suffered a disastrous defeat, but they were not convinced. Now they regard southern Africa as a competitor, or a potential enemy. .

Rock still attaches great importance to the United States. Don’t look at the Americans who hit zero in [-] rounds. It is because the Americans have not found the correct way to open the "precision-guided bomb". Once the United States returns to the correct path, it will soon be able to produce results .

Here we can see the importance of Rock.

Although Rock himself does not understand technology, there are many people in southern Africa who understand it.

Nikola Tesla and Robert Goddard were not reused when they were in the United States, but they really found a platform to display their strengths in southern Africa, and then they accumulated a lot of money.

"The Americans have requested technical cooperation with us. There is a telegram from London. Uncle Winston invites you to the next Imperial Conference." Gavin still respects Winston.

"Ask the Americans, what can we get, the technical information of 'Iowa' is fine, we will not build any battleships." Rock did not refuse, but there must be enough benefits.

Roosevelt had sent a telegram to Rock before, hoping to cooperate with southern Africa to jointly study precision-guided bombs.

If Roque agrees, Roosevelt said that he will share the relevant technology of the "Iowa" class battleship with southern Africa.

After the signing of the "Second London Naval Treaty" in 1936, the French began to build "Richelieu", the Italians began to build "Veneto", and the United States began to develop a new class of battleship in 38, so there was "Depending on Iowa class battleship.

The paper data of the "Iowa" class battleship is extremely powerful, with a full-load displacement of 5.5 tons, an economical speed of 14 knots, an endurance of 2 nautical miles, and a maximum speed of 33 knots. It is equipped with three triple-mounted 406mm main guns.

The "Iowa" class is expected to build six ships, and two ships have already been completed and put into service.

This suggestion is still very tempting to the Southern African Navy.

The four existing battleships in southern Africa were all built during the last World War. Although they have undergone many equipment upgrades in recent years, their foundations are too poor and they can only be repaired. They are far behind the times. The fleet can only serve as a mascot.

What makes people speechless is that these battleships are now the treasures of the major fleets. After An Qi arrived in the Indian Ocean theater, she called the battleship "East India" as her flagship, while Patton occupied the "Congo" , the two unanimously gave up the more advanced aircraft carrier.

When Roque decided to return "Richelieu" to the French, it aroused the collective opposition of the southern African admirals.

It means that Rock's prestige is high, and the generals of the navy dare not make mistakes, otherwise someone will rebel.

Roosevelt made this suggestion because he knew that the southern African admirals loved battleships.

Rock definitely objected.

No matter how powerful a battleship is, it has no ability to resist in the face of increasingly advanced weapons.

The Germans used six "Xs" to cause one sinking and one serious injury to the Italian "Veneto", which fully proves that the battleship, the former ocean overlord, has completely fallen behind the times and is about to be eliminated.

"Iowa"'s paper data is strong.

However, Rock will not share precision-guided bomb technology with the Americans for "Iowa".

If the Americans directly send two "Iowa" ships to southern Africa, Roque can still consider it.

As for the British, Rock didn't even want to talk to them.

The personal relationship with Winston is good, but when it comes to national interests, Rock is still very clear-headed.

Now that the United Kingdom is wooing Southern Africa, it has fewer and fewer bargaining chips.

In the past, the British Empire could still use titles to fool people. After the abolition of the title system in southern Africa, the British titles are no longer popular.

The key point is that the British are still unwilling to let go of their airs. Inviting Roque to participate in the Imperial Conference is only a non-voting attendance, able to speak, but the kind without voting rights, Roque is not interested in this so-called "honor" at all.

If Britain is willing to give some practical benefits to southern Africa, such as colonies in Asia, Rock can still consider it.

Leaving the Palace of Justice, Gavin returned to his office. As a member of the War Council, Gavin's office was in the Capitol.

"Lord Beihai sent a telegram. Some Brazilians have frequent contacts with the Americans. I hope you can pay attention to it." Gavin's assistant, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Ying, is in charge of intelligence work, which overlaps with Alvin's work.

When Gavin entered the War Council, his military rank was only a second lieutenant. Later, he was promoted to captain because of his outstanding work. Martin originally prepared a brigadier general uniform for Gavin, but Rock vetoed it.

Rock does not object to various second-generation military gilding in southern Africa, but he must abide by military rules.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least 30 years for a soldier to graduate from a military academy, start his military career with the rank of second lieutenant, and become a brigadier general.

Soldiers will be promoted faster during the war, but there are basically no exceptions for promotion.

According to Martin's method, Gavin is not breaking the rules, but riding a rocket, which is unfair to other southern African soldiers.

"Brazil—Isn't it time for another election in Brazil?" Gavin was troubled. Every four years in a democratic country, there were a lot of weird accidents. Gavin would sometimes envy the British constitutional monarchy, at least not Toss once in a few years.

"Yes, President Vargas' term of office is coming soon. He has been questioned for the past two years, and his approval rating in Brazil has continued to decline. The opposition in Brazil has always had close ties with the Americans." Liu Ying knows very well. However, Brazil is Southern Africa's most important ally in South America, and Southern Africa still attaches great importance to it.

"Send a reliable person to Rio, we need Vargas to continue as the President of Brazil." Gavin was simple and rude, not wasting too much energy for Brazil.

"Do you need me to contact President Vargas?" Liu Ying was worried that there would be differences.

"Alright, ask him if he needs our help—" Gavin was very disappointed. Vargas had been president for so many years, but he still failed to completely wipe out the opposition. There was obviously a problem with his ability.

In order to stabilize Vargas' rule, Southern Africa took the initiative to transfer a lot of benefits to Brazil. Otherwise, with Henry's style of doing things, Iron Four would not hand over even a penny of profits to the Brazilian government.

There are many ways for companies to avoid taxes, especially for large companies like Fawalt Steel Group. If Henry does not want to pay taxes, Fawalt Steel Group will continue to lose money, and the federal government may have to allocate funds to support it.

The same is true for the Iron Four Corners. Don’t forget that Vargas can become president, and the biggest support comes from the Iron Four Corners.

Therefore, after Vargas became president, it is only natural to give more returns to the Iron Four.

This is normal in Europe and America.
