Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 248 The countryside surrounds the city

No matter what time it is, "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" is an irrefutable truth.

Therefore, Roque set up a militia in Nyasaland to strengthen the strength of Nyasaland. On the one hand, he prepared to export the Yao people, and on the other hand, he also had to guard against threats from Tanganyika and the Congo Free State.

There is another reason why Roark can't say it, and that is the British government.

For the British government, Roque will never trust [-]%, so it is necessary for Roque to cultivate one or several armed forces that are absolutely loyal to him to guard against threats from the British government.

These armed forces include the Chinese police and gold mine security guards in Johannesburg, the Nyasaland militia, and the Yao people in Portuguese East Africa, or the Bantu people in the future Congo Free State. If Rock's plan can succeed, then with these Overtly and covertly armed, Rock can turn Africa that has been carved up by European countries upside down.

The militia in Nyasaland are all composed of Chinese. The members of the militia are selected among the Chinese. The backbone is the police and gold mine security guards in Johannesburg. The militia still adopts a rotation training system. Only the best part can become permanent members. The purpose is for all Chinese to receive a certain degree of military training, so that the Chinese in Nyasaland can stand upright and dare to face any challenge like the Chinese in Johannesburg.

It is said that Qian Zhuang is heroic and courageous. In fact, he has a gun in his hand, so he does not panic when encountering things. Even women and children, as long as they have a gun in their hands, they will have the confidence to fight to the death. This is something that money cannot bring. sense of security.

In the environment of Nyasaland, ordinary people can’t do without guns. After all, they will pose a threat to people. Besides humans, there are also wild animals. Therefore, within 50 to [-] years, Nyasaland will not ban guns. future--

Not in the future, when Nyasaland is expected to face threats from all directions, it will be even more necessary to legally own guns.

Therefore, it is very important for Nyasaland to have the ability to manufacture weapons.

Rock didn't want that at some point in the future, for some reason, Nyasaland would lose the support of the British government, and he would not have the ability to manufacture weapons, and would eventually face the same desperate situation as the Boers who ran out of ammunition and food.

The hydropower station and the arsenal are just the beginning. Rock has asked Christian to find a way to recruit military talents in Europe. It is more appropriate to go to Christian than to Douglas for this matter.

Compared with machines, technical talents are even rarer. Rock bought the production line and hydroelectric generators. Westinghouse will send people to guide the installation of the hydropower station. The Royal Small Arms Factory does not care about the production line. Selling scrap is almost the same, so the Royal Small Arms Factory will not send technicians to Nyasaland.

"It doesn't matter. I'll solve the technical problems. How many people do you want?" Stoudemire took care of everything. The South African company is strong in this regard. After all, Stoudemire is a pure British and has more advantages than Rock.

"The more the better, skilled workers, technicians, and designers are all needed. It's still the old rule, twice the salary." Rock is now good at throwing money at people, and he can't do without it. There is no benefit. Who wants to go to Niassa? Lan, a place where birds like Lan don't shit.

Compared with London and Paris, Johannesburg is a poor country, and Nania Saran can only be a bird.

However, Rock is still confident. As long as he can lure people over, Rock can keep them. Bigwig Town has now become a model for living in peace. Rock is confident that he can replicate countless Bigwig Towns in Nyasaland.

"Okay, leave this question to me." Stoudemire is full of confidence. In Europe in this era, there are actually not many concepts of nations and nations.

This is really not a joke. Until the Cold War, the flow of technical personnel was actually very free. One of the simplest examples is that when the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, there were many white officers working in the Beiyang Navy and the Beiyang Fleet. Fighting to the end, and finally sinking into the sea together with the warship, this can well explain people's attitude towards the country and the nation at this time.

As for the country's restrictions on technical talents, there are actually not many. In the field of weapon design, Browning is considered a top talent. The famous M1911, M2, and BAR1918 are all from Browning.

Browning was originally an American, and initially cooperated with Winchester in the United States to produce weapons.

In 1897, Browning designed an automatic smoothbore gun by using the energy of the gas in the gun chamber as the energy source for automatic loading when firing, but Winchester Company refused to mass-produce it, so Browning came to Belgium in a fit of anger. The Herstal National Arsenal, later known as the FN company, became the chief firearms designer of the Herstal National Arsenal.

After that, most of the weapons designed by Browning were produced by Herstal National Arsenal.

Even top talents like Browning are free to go to Belgium from the United States. Rock just wants to hire excellent designers, technicians and skilled workers.

"While poaching people, keep an eye out. Don't limit yourself to the weapon industry. We only have a rudimentary arsenal now, and we can only produce obsolete weapons. However, our ideals cannot be limited to obsolete weapons. The production of weapons and bullets requires I hope we can produce all the raw materials we need, so that we will not be controlled by others in the future." Rock has ideals, and if he wants to buy a full set, he can't buy a production line and be stuck with raw materials. All the production links are in our own hands, so that we can not be controlled by others.

"All the raw materials? Is this necessary—" Stoudemire disagreed.

It is not troublesome to make bullets, but it is very troublesome to master all the crafts. Don't underestimate a small bullet, the manufacturing process is also very complicated.

Nyasaland has no shortage of copper for producing bullets. Nyasaland has a quarter of the world's copper, so Nyasaland does not need to study how to replace copper with steel.

The primer of the bullet is now made of thormer. Although T.Curtius has been able to produce lead azide, lead azide has not yet obtained the patent right for industrial application. Ke can only pinch his nose and use thunderbolt.

The propellant of the bullet uses multi-based gunpowder based on nitrocellulose. The technology in this area is not troublesome. Nobel is just a string of money. As long as you give money, you can buy any technology.

The point is that more factories and more workers are needed to have technology. This is definitely a heavy burden for Nyasaland, which is still short of manpower. If it is replaced by other people, it may just buy raw materials directly It's over, but Rock will never do this. It's convenient to buy raw materials, but it's uncomfortable to be controlled by others. Even if it's backward technology, Rock must master all of it, so that he will be confident in the future.

"It's very necessary, Cecil, think about it, if we buy raw materials from Europe, once a war breaks out in Europe and the raw materials are not enough, will they sell them to us?" Rock planned ahead.

"No, no, no, Locke, there is no need for you to worry about this. Just look at the Boer War. Although the empire apparently won, the gains outweighed the losses, and the price paid was too high. Therefore, wars of this scale will definitely not break out in the future. It means that the empire is powerful and can withstand this kind of consumption. You let the French and Germans try a war of this scale? I am afraid that the whole country will go bankrupt." Stoudemire has his own judgment on the future.

How to say this judgment, it seems that it cannot be wrong, because after the Boer War, the British government and the public learned from the painful experience, and they were indeed changing their national strategy, from strategic expansion to strategic contraction.

But other countries will not adjust their national strategies according to the national strategy of the United Kingdom, especially a country whose emperor is a lunatic, and the situation of other countries cannot be generalized with the situation of the United Kingdom. The strategic contraction of the United Kingdom happened to expose the weakness of Britain, which would certainly fuel the ambitions of some mad emperor.

"Cecile, believe me, there's a big war brewing in Europe, probably bigger than anyone can imagine, and nobody's immune to it, including us, so now we're going to get ready - step back, Even if that kind of situation doesn't happen, we don't lose anything except some money, but once that kind of situation happens, hehe——" Rock is calm, isn't it money, the last thing Rock cares about now is money.

"Well, if you want—but I have to declare that these factories have nothing to do with Rhodesia." Stoudemire wanted to stay out of the matter. There was no shortage of money for Stoudemire, but Stoudemire didn't want to burn it for fun.

"Are you sure? Henry will invest." Rock was not in a hurry, Stoudemire was a little hesitant and needed someone to push him from behind.

Sure enough, Xiao Si began to worry about gains and losses again, his expression was cloudy and uncertain, and he opened his mouth several times to say something harsh, but he couldn't say it.

"Come on, I promise, I won't lose money. If you participate, you will thank today's decision in the future. If you don't participate, you will regret it in the future." Rock hugged Stoudemire's shoulders, not letting Stoudemire get off.

Xiaosi was so angry that he didn't speak, which was the default meaning.

In the evening, Lala, who was training the Yao people in Portuguese East Africa, came to see Rock.

Rock was grilling with Xiao Si, and Rock did it himself, and the fish and chicken wings he baked were not much worse than those baked by the chef.

"The Yao people are quite powerful. They have almost [-] soldiers. Most of them have not received systematic military training. Zha Zha is leading some experienced Yao soldiers to fight guerrillas with the Portuguese. I am in Mani Amba trains the large army of the Yao people, but there are still not enough weapons and ammunition. If I have enough weapons and ammunition now, within three months, I will be sure to drive the Portuguese out of East Africa." Lala squatted next to Rock and fanned herself , mainly to fan away the smoke.

"Lock, give me another chicken wing." Stoudemire pretended to be dead on the recliner, a beautiful woman on the left fanned a fan, a beautiful woman peeled fruit on the right, and a beautiful woman massaged behind her.

Rotten rich second generation, go to hell!

Rock sprinkled a handful of salt on the chicken wings.

Lala's expression was obviously shocked, she blinked her cunning eyes and dared not speak, she was focused on fanning the wind.

"What if the Portuguese increase their troops?" Rock thought a lot. Portuguese East Africa was one of the few remaining colonies of Portugal, and the Portuguese government would definitely not give up easily.

"Then fight a guerrilla attack with the Portuguese. How the Boers dealt with the expeditionary force, we will deal with the Portuguese - the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and we advance!" Lala said the last few words in Chinese Yes, there is still a taste of Shandong dialect. Rock's hands trembled when he heard it, and he put salt again.

Speaking of guerrilla warfare, it is impossible for anyone in this era to be more proficient than Roque. The sixteen-character motto of "When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance" is an unchanging truth in any era, Lala and slag When Portugal was in East Africa, Rock specially trained Lala and Zhaza.

Speaking of African names is definitely a tragedy. The pronunciation of Lala’s name is very complicated. It is estimated that no one can spell it smoothly. The Johannesburg Police Department has no way to register it, so they can only intercept two syllables as the name.

Lala and the others didn't care, their attitude was very casual. When they served in the expeditionary force, Lala and the others had no names at all, and the expeditionary force used code names to represent them, and no one felt insulted.

Again, there is no human rights in this era, and even white people have no awareness of human rights, let alone Africans.

"The Portuguese forces are all within several strongholds. You also play a game of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, withdrawing all the Yao people near the strongholds, so that the Portuguese will not get any supplies. If the Portuguese dare to leave the strongholds, you will attack along the way and hurt them." It’s better to cut off one of the ten fingers, as long as we continue to eliminate the vitality of the Portuguese, the Portuguese will not last long.” Rock is not in a hurry, the Portuguese is a very good training object, use the Portuguese to train the Yao people, Rock can use the Yao people to deal with the Germans.

Is it very difficult?

Really not high, the Yao people guided by guerrilla theory are absolutely invincible in Africa.

"We are already doing this. Recently, we have evacuated all the tribesmen near Tete to the territory of Rhodesia. Within a hundred square kilometers around Tete, there is no tribe. The Portuguese shrank in Tete. Don't dare to come out, as soon as we go out of the city, we will be sniped by our precision shooters. We cut their telegraph wires, dug up the road, and even wiped out the eland around Tete. The Portuguese were miserable- —” Lala was very excited, Africans have never been so proud before.

"Hehe——" Rock smiled happily, and he could imagine how miserable the Yao people could make the Portuguese suffer under the guidance of the idea of ​​encircling the city from the countryside.

"You guys had a great time, so the Portuguese just made trouble for me, saying that I ran away all the people around Tete—" Stoudemire couldn't wait for the chicken wings, so he had to come and get them himself.

Rock smiled without saying a word.

Lala stared and puffed her cheeks with a frightened expression.

Xiaosi didn't realize it, and stuffed a seemingly baked chicken wing into his mouth.

"Bah! What the hell are you doing—" Stoudemire's angry voice almost spread throughout the camp.
