Reborn South Africa as a police officer

On November 11, Rock arrived in Cape Town on the "Rhodes", a cruise ship converted from the Normandie battleship.

Time is a cycle. On November 47, 11 years ago, Rock traveled to this era, and the first thing he saw was the sky of Cape Town.

In 47 years, nearly half a century, Rock has transformed from that high-spirited young man to the retired old man he is now.

The docks in Cape Town are still bustling with activity. In the past few years of the World War, the Mediterranean has been a war zone and security has not been guaranteed. Many merchant ships sailing between Europe and Asia have chosen to bypass Africa. Cape Town has benefited greatly from this and is more prosperous than before. .

Rock arrived in Cape Town without informing anyone. The "Rhodes" was anchored off Cape Town and Rock entered the port in a small boat.

You have to be low-key. There are still many ships waiting in line to enter the port. Although Rock can jump in the queue, he is not willing to break the rules. The time of a retired old man is not valuable.

After transferring to Johannesburg, Roque has not been to Cape Town for a long time.

There were actually people on the pier using tricks to swindle money. A few Indians used imperfect English to solicit business. Two patrol policemen not far away seemed to be chatting and did not pay attention to this place.

Rock smiled and passed without stopping.

The vitality of this little trick is indeed very tenacious.

The Table Mountain Bar is still there, but it's not what it used to be. The decoration style is very modern. Rock's car didn't stop and drove past quickly.

Rock's house on Mill Street was transformed into a museum. A group of Cape Town primary school students lined up neatly and were visiting under the leadership of their teacher. The big man turned into a sculpture, lying in Rock's house in its favorite posture. At the feet of the sculpture.

Rock sat on the chair with one foot on the big man's body, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. He sat on the chair and looked at everything that was happening in front of him with a smile.

Mill Street has truly become Police Street. In the past few decades, the Cape Town Police Department has moved three times, the last time to Mill Street.

"Would you like to go in and take a look?" Alvin was still very curious about Rock's experience. This was the place where Rock and Phyllis fell in love.

"No, I sometimes come back here in my dreams." Rock was still a little regretful. If he could do it over again, Rock should be able to do better.

Of course it could be worse.

The response speed in Cape Town was slower than that in Transvaal and Nyasaland. The Rock people were almost reaching Oak Town, and the talents of the Cape State Government and Cape Town Municipal Government were catching up.

"Let them go back. I'm here for vacation, not to inspect the work." Roque was nowhere to be seen and was not satisfied with the work in Cape State.

In 1899, Cape Town was the most prosperous city in southern Africa. Now its ranking in southern Africa has dropped to outside the top ten.

Compared with the three major powers in the central region, Cape Town is more conservative and traditional in many aspects. It was once the base camp of the Boers and later became a gathering area for British southern Africans. The arrival of the Chinese did not bring much change to Cape Town. Change more.

Oak Town has not changed much. The town is still surrounded by vineyards as far as the eye can see. The entire town is surrounded by oak trees. The wine produced here has become Cape Town’s most famous specialty and is sold all over the world.

Throughout southern Africa, Oak Town is the favorite city of retired generals. Many Chinese generals will choose to return to Oak Town to settle after retirement. For them, Oak Town is their roots.

The mayor of Oak Town, Dong Xun, participated in the First World War and retired with the rank of major general after the war. He also served as the president of the Cape State Wine Association and was an old subordinate of Rock.

Rock was still very happy to be with the old guys. He went directly to the Oak Bar, where it was still the same.

It was really the same, Rock didn't even feel like the floor had been replaced.

The bunny girls are still gorgeous, K2 is still big and round, and the bartender is still named Henry, he is the grandson of old Henry.

Henry Sr. is now the manager of the bar, and of course he is laughed at by Rock.

"It's been decades, and you're still the bar manager. You're so useless!" Rock remembered that when he had a drinking contest with a British officer, Henry helped him cheat.

Ordinarily, such a smart person should not stay in the position of bar manager.

"Sir, old Henry doesn't have much ability, he can only help you look after your house -" Old Henry's words almost broke Rock's guard.

"Lord, don't listen to this old guy's misfortune. He is now the biggest profiteer in the Cape. For every ten bottles of wine exported by the Cape State, one is produced by this guy's winery." Dong Xun and Old Henry are also the same. Old friends, tell the truth without mercy.

Roque was surprised. He really didn’t realize that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a profiteer——

He is also the biggest profiteer in Cape Town!

Rock didn't know what old Henry had done to get such a comment.

"You're not much better. It's not your idea to buy wine from outside and sell it with the trademark produced in Oak Town?" Old Henry was very angry. The two were the same.

Right.

Oak Town's wines are sold all over the world, and the output cannot be reduced. Judging from the scale of Oak Town's local vineyards, it is probably impossible to support this sales volume.

So OEM is understandable, don’t people in the 21st century do the same thing.

"I'm afraid that no alcohol sales will affect the reputation of our Oak Town. You old guy is the culprit of shoddy products." Dong Xun's words shocked Roark. You guys are going too far.

OEM production is no problem.

Shoddy goods are a big problem.

"The quality is still guaranteed -" Old Henry smiled, like an old fox who had successfully stolen a chicken.

The wines in Oak Town are also divided into grades. Different grades of wine will definitely have different prices.

The sales areas are also different.

The best wines will definitely be sold in southern Africa, the lesser wines will be sold in Europe, the third wines will be sold in the United States, and the worst wines will be sold in Russia.

Anyway, Russia doesn’t produce grapes, and those Russians haven’t eaten any good pork.

But it is true that Russians have money. The most generous customers are from Russia, and the money is spent as if it is not their own.

"Where is Master Luo? Has Master Luo arrived?" Luo Yi's voice came from outside the door. The old guy is still alive and in good health.

Like the doctor who was repeatedly reported to have died but lived for many years, Luo Yi suffered too much physical damage in his early years and has been critically ill many times in recent years. Thanks to the huge improvement in medical standards in southern Africa compared to those years, Luo Yi was able to persevere. Until now.

Luo Yi is about the same age as Rock, but he looks much older than Rock. This old guy is now the ancestor of a large family, and he no longer has to worry about no one visiting his grave after his death.

"I was at the dock just now and saw your disciple and grandson -" Luo Ke joked after seeing Luo Yi, recalling the days when we deceived people together, vividly in his mind.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Luo, we are all your disciples and disciples." Luo Yi was leaning on a cane, with two young people supporting him.

Rock took the initiative to take Luo Yi over and sat down next to him. The two young men were called away by Alvin, leaving Rock and the old guys to play by themselves.

How can you not drink when you go to a bar? As soon as Luo Yi sat down, he shouted: "Little Henry, give me a glass of depth bomb!"

Little Henry looked embarrassed. After seeing Old Henry nod, he poured wine for Luo Yi.

"Add less ice, you little guy is as treacherous as your grandfather. Every time you sell me wine, there is always more ice than wine." Luo Yi seemed to be a frequent visitor to the bar.

Old Henry couldn't laugh or cry, and took the initiative to explain to Rock: "Master Luo's health is not good, and the doctor doesn't let Master Luo drink."

"People don't drink anymore. What do you, an old guy, eat?" Luo Yi was annoyed. He was already under the supervision of a doctor at this age.

If you think about it carefully, life is quite sad. When you are a child, you are controlled by your parents, when you grow up, you are controlled by your boss, and when you are old, you are controlled by doctors. You spend your whole life under restraint.

"You should still listen to the doctor. I still think that in ten years, we old guys can still get together to drink and chat." Roque is in good health, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in another 20 years.

It's hard to say Luo Yi, it might happen at any time.

The soil and water in southern Africa are still very nurturing, and many of Rock's old friends are still alive and kicking in their seventies and eighties.

"Hey, I've done enough in my life. I've prepared a coffin for myself, one made of golden nanmu -" Not a Chinese, it's hard to understand Luo's obsession with golden nanmu.

Europeans like to use stone when building houses, and Chinese like to use wood when building houses. Therefore, various high-grade woods from the Americas are extremely popular in southern Africa. "If you want to find good wood, you still have to go to Southeast Asia." Dong Xun probably also wants to get golden nanmu aniseed material for himself quickly.

"Do you need my help?" Luo Yiziye, who himself once served as the general manager of the Umbrella Company, is now in East India, and he has heard that he is about to become the Speaker.

As the power of southern Africa increased, southern Africans also began to expand outwards, and many East Indian and Australian officials were southern Africans.

Chinese people traditionally work hard and do not participate in politics, which is very bad.

If you want to improve your social status, you have to actively integrate into the local society. During the Dutch colonial period, the Chinese in East India were often targeted. Now it is the Chinese who drive away the whites. East India is about to become a smaller version of Southern Africa.

Australia too.

Compared with East India, Australia has a smaller population. As mining companies and agricultural companies from southern Africa poured into Australia, a large number of Chinese also went to Australia to work.

The Chinese in Southern Africa are very active in every aspect. When there are more people, they will naturally have political demands. With official protection, the interests of the Chinese can be better protected.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Luo, I have my own solution." Dong Xun retired with the rank of general. Most of his descendants served in the army. They really didn't need Luo Yi's help to get some aniseed or something.

"Master Luo, when will the Japs King be interrogated?" Luo Yi was most concerned about the settlement.

Although the war is over, the liquidation work is still in progress.

After Japan surrendered, a large number of atrocities committed by the Japanese army during the war were revealed. What excited the people in southern Africa the most was that the Japanese actually used living people for human experiments. After the news came out, the whole of southern Africa was boiling.

The Japanese and the Chinese are feuding, and there were Japanese pirates in the early years. Later, the Sino-Japanese War, the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and the puppet Manchukuo——

Japan's modern glory was built on the suffering of the Chinese. All southern Africans hope that all war criminals, including Hirohito, will be tried and no one will be spared.

During the Angel War, there was a trial in the Lion City, and more than 5000 people were hanged.

When the news spread back to southern Africa, everyone applauded, and Angel's reputation soared. It is said that some congressmen have already nominated Angel to participate in the next southern African election.

Angel himself did not respond to the news at all. He never had any intention of running for election, otherwise he would become the same person as MacArthur.

"Come on, come on, the East Asian Allied Forces are collecting evidence of the Japanese army's crimes during the war. We will not let any enemy go." Roque wants to kill them all and make the Japanese tremble when mentioning war from now on. .

Compared with the mustache, Hirohito is too shameless.

When the Allied forces captured Berlin, Mustache and his new wife committed suicide together, preferring to die rather than become prisoners of the Allied forces.

Hirohito was still pretentious when Japan surrendered, saying he was for peace, but in fact he shifted the responsibility for launching the war to members of the military and described himself as a puppet without any power. Edward VII was heartbroken after hearing this, and George V Seeing the world makes me cry.

The dwarf is not a human being and has no sense of responsibility at all.

"I heard that those war criminals are fed and fed by us in prison, and they can also exercise every day and so on. Why not imprison them to Robben Island?" Judging from Luo Yi's appearance, if Hirohito is imprisoned Robben Island, Luo Yi probably wants to apply to be a guard on Robben Island.

Rock didn't know how to answer this question.

Dong Xun laughed.

"Are you an old fool? We all watched An Shuai grow up, so he would be so nice to those old devils?" Dong Xun didn't believe the newspaper reports at all.

Journalism is a very difficult profession. In many cases, it’s not that you don’t report the truth out of conscience, but that you can’t report it directly.

If the Japanese human experiments were reported in detail, newspaper readers would probably have psychological disorders.

The same goes for Allied prisoner of war camps in East Asia.

It sounds impossible for war criminals to be fed and provided with good food. At most, they can only starve to death. The purpose of maintaining life is not to keep them alive, but to keep them alive until they can stand trial.

After the trial, those who deserved to be killed were killed and those who deserved to be hanged. Trying to escape the trial by pretending to be ill is just a dream.

Why don't you get sick when you are a high-ranking official and have a good salary? When you go to jail and have to be tried, you will be sick to death.

You must be scared to death!

Whether they died of illness or fear, several high-level war criminals detained by the East Asian Allied Forces have died.

Well, the reason must be the same as what was said in the newspaper: death from illness.

High-level war criminals have medical insurance and have frequent accidents, while low-level war criminals have an even higher rate of accidents.

Last month, a fire broke out at a U.S. military prison camp in Tokyo, killing at least 250 prisoners.

Last month, a widespread influenza broke out in the Allied prisoner-of-war camp in Hiroshima. At least 1500 people were infected and more than 400 died due to ineffective rescue efforts.

It is normal to say accidents happen.

But where is Hiroshima?Those who have been through the atomic bomb.

After the war, southern African experts went to Hiroshima to investigate. The results of the investigation showed that Hiroshima would be unfit for human habitation in a short period of time.

Under such circumstances, the Allies still placed the prisoner-of-war camp in Hiroshima. It was not just to let the prisoners of war enjoy the most authentic Hiroshima ice tea.

The prison camp at Hiroshima was run by the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

Whenever this happens, the newspaper will use Allied Forces instead.

The U.S. military doesn't care, it doesn't care how many prisoners of war die.

Southern African media use some Spring and Autumn style of writing when reporting in Southern Africa.

American newspapers did not cover up and reported information on the Bataan Death March. They did not even put a mosaic on the photos or anything and published them directly in the newspapers.

As a result, the Americans were angered, and calls for severe punishment of the Japanese continued to rise.

MacArthur was still dreaming of transforming Japan and winning more American votes.

When the general election begins, MacArthur's opponents only need to tell what MacArthur did during the war without adding any exaggeration, and MacArthur will lose.

"You can't say that. We are fighting a just war and it must end in a just way." Rock smiled. He had already sent a telegram to An Qi, asking An Qi to return to southern Africa to report on her work.

Compared with trying Hirohito, Rock is more concerned about the fate of Japan.

In another time and space, the United States once again provoked a war shortly after the end of the world war. Japan became the headquarters of the coalition forces, and luck began to improve again. Within a few years, Japan actually became one of the most economically powerful countries in the world at that time.

Don't even think about Japan in this time and space. Rock wants to completely cut off Japan's national destiny and not give Japan a chance for economic recovery.

Don’t the Japanese love to eat fish? Then just concentrate on fishing.

Germany was divided after the war, and even Berlin was cut in half, managed separately by the Western Front Allies and Russia.

Japan should also refer to Germany when dealing with it. Doesn't Russia want to participate in the management of Japan? Then it will meet the Russians' requirements in exchange for Russia's concessions in other aspects.

"Master Luo, when are we going to fuck Americans?" Luo Yi's words shocked Rock.

Southern Africa and the United States are still allies, so be careful what you say.

After the end of the world war, the U.S. economy stagnated and an economic crisis broke out.

Southern Africa will not take the initiative to provoke a war, but competition with the United States will continue.

But this is the responsibility of Gavin’s generation.
