Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 521 Exclusive

In a short period of time, it is almost impossible for Nyasaland to surpass the British and German maritime powers in battleships, but it has not yet shown value in destroyers, submarines, and aircraft, and has not attracted the attention of the British and German maritime powers. , There is still a slight possibility of projects with unlimited potential in the future.

The research on the aircraft proves that Nyasaland may not have the outstanding geniuses of the Wright Brothers, but there are many people and strength. With strong capital, Rock can easily form a team composed of more ordinary R&D personnel. To a large extent formed an advantage over the Wright Brothers.

The outstanding role of genius is actually more in project design. Edison had so many inventions in his life, many of which were researched by Edison's laboratory. Strictly speaking, more honors should belong to those unknown R&D personnel, but patent rights But they are all in the hands of Edison. Even a genius like Nikola Tesla has to live in Edison's shadow all his life. This is the power of capital.

Rock's strength is only stronger than Edison's, so don't look at the Wright Brothers' high-profile aircraft, but its performance has now lagged behind Nyasaland's aircraft.

At least the Wright brothers' current aircraft is still stuck on how to use more wings to resist air resistance, while Nyasaland has begun research on biplanes.

The reason why Nyasaland can quickly surpass the Wright Brothers in research on aircraft has a lot to do with Nyasaland's better resources.

A very simple reason is that the Wright brothers only increased the wing area to provide a more stable flight attitude for the aircraft. However, the Wright brothers had all kinds of whimsical ideas, but they did not have the corresponding materials to support their research.

Nyasaland is different. The engineers in Nyasaland hoped to obtain steel with lighter weight and higher strength, so Fawalt Steel Plant quickly sent samples, although the weight and strength of the samples still could not allow Nyasaland's engineers were satisfied, but Fawalt Steel Works immediately promised to make improvements in this area and fully cooperate with Nyasaland's research.

Could the Wright Brothers get Carnegie Steel to cooperate with their research?

Don't even think about it!

This is also the power of capital.

"The research and development of submarines is not enough. We don't have enough engineers. Now we have to focus more on destroyers. We can only demonstrate submarines and have not yet entered the verification stage." Jimmy Hodgson was a little embarrassed. This is Nyasaland's biggest dilemma now is that Rock has money and strength, but he still can't bring enough talents to Nyasaland.

The temptation of money for ordinary people is not bad, but for the real top talents, the temptation of money is insignificant. After all, the real top talents are valued by all countries in the world, and they can enjoy the same experience as Niassa in their own country. Lan's treatment, so for a long time, the only top talent Nyasaland really got was Abramovich.

This one is still missing. If Professor Abu becomes famous, Nyasaland also has no chance.

Rock also knew this situation, so he didn't force it. If Nyasaland wanted to really rise, he still had to wait for the talents he cultivated to appear on a large scale, or he had to wait for the start of the First World War. With the flames of war, many people will flee Europe, and then Nyasaland will have a real chance.

Rock visited the first "Beihai" destroyer under construction at the Ulysses shipyard. According to international practice, this level of destroyer is the Beihai class. The first ship "Beihai" will be the "Nia" in the future. The flagship of the Saran Marine Police in Beihai, her sister ship "Donghu" has not yet started construction. After the "Beihai" is completed, these workers will go to Donghu to participate in the construction of "Donghu".

It can also be seen from this that Nyasaland has a shortage of talent reserves, not even enough skilled workers.

This can't be blamed for the incompetence of the shipyard. Nyasaland's shipbuilding industry also started from scratch. From the beginning, it could only build fishing boats, and then began to build merchant ships, immigration boats, and marine police boats. This has accumulated hundreds of people. Skilled workers, Rock wants to train more skilled workers through the construction of destroyers, but this also takes time.

In terms of ship construction, Rock can actually give a lot of improvement plans, such as the segmented manufacturing method, or the modular manufacturing method, which are absolutely advanced technologies at present, and it is not impossible to achieve. These methods It is more of an improvement in the production process, and it is not impossible to achieve technically.

But it doesn't make much sense to use those advanced technologies now. The main problem of Nyasaland Shipyard is not that the technology is not advanced enough, but that there are not enough skilled workers. This is the key to the problem, so Rock can only wait now.

Fortunately, Rock still has time.

In the evening, Rock's dinner is settled at the Ulysses Shipyard, which is close to the North Sea. The dinner at the Ulysses Shipyard is not bad, with a variety of fresh fish in abundance.

"Although the North Sea is half of us and Tanganyika's family, the Germans prefer to be farmers on land rather than fishermen in the North Sea, so the Germans seriously underdeveloped the North Sea's fishery resources. In the entire North Sea, most fishing boats They are all from Nyasaland, and it is rare to see a German fishing boat.” Jimmy Hodgson was quite satisfied when he talked about this point.

The reason for this situation is of course related to some unexplainable reasons.

The vast majority of marine police ships in the North Sea belong to Nyasaland. When Nyasaland’s marine police ships are patrolling the North Sea, they often greet Tanganyika fishing boats in a way that even Jimmy Hodgson would say hello. Embarrassed to say.

There are still many accidents in this era. Fishing boats are definitely not extravagant enough to install radios, so there is no way to call for help when they encounter accidents. However, marine police boats are large in size and fast. The waves can directly overturn the fishing boat.

After coming down several times, there were even fewer Tanganyika fishing boats, and the remaining fishing boats seldom went out to sea for fishing. Even if they went to sea, they only dared to appear in the waters near Usumbula.

So although the North Sea is half of Nyasaland and Tanganyika's family, Nyasaland is actually monopolizing the fishery resources of the entire North Sea now.

In fact, the North Sea is a huge treasure house. If Nyasaland did not have rich fishery resources, the population of Nyasaland would not have increased so fast.

Abundant aquatic products provide enough nutrition for Nyasaland, and at the same time create more economic income. Xiaosi has canned factories in Nyasa Lake, Beihai and East Lake. Various canned fish are sold in Europe is very popular, although most of the money earned is taken by Stoudemire, but the workers in Stoudemire's cannery also get enough salary to support their families.

That's enough, and it's impossible for Rock to make all the money in the world, so he still has to leave a way for others to survive.

"Fishery resources must be used rationally—" Rock originally wanted to remind Jimmy Hodgson to develop fishery resources in a planned way, but he immediately came back to his senses.

As far as the fishery resources of Nyasaland Lake, North Sea, and East Lake are concerned, it will not be too late to talk about rational use of Nyasaland after decades of development. Before the Chinese came to Nyasaland, the entire population of Nyasaland increased. The number is less than [-]. The local Africans almost never eat fish because there are too many fish bones in the fish, so the fish schools in Lake Niassa, the North Sea, and the East Lake tend to be flooded.

As a result, the Chinese went crazy after they came to Nyasaland. When it comes to eating fish, the Chinese are too experienced. Steamed, braised, chopped peppers, and hodgepodge are all things that can’t be imagined. Nyasaland Agricultural Company It is with such an inconspicuous subordinate department of the aquatic product company that it can help many Chinese to survive the most difficult stage of immigration.

For the current Nyasaland, the fishery resources of Lake Nyasa, Beihai, and East Lake are almost unlimited. Before the population exceeds one million, Rock does not need to consider the issue of rational development of resources, even if all Chinese are released To eat, it will take decades to eat all the fish in Lake Nyasa, the North Sea, and the East Lake.

Rock originally planned to stay in Ulysses for a week, but Rock had to return to Little Rock the next day.

The reaction of the Germans was greater than Rock had imagined. The conflict between the Water Dog and the Weissmann sounded the alarm for the Germans, and the Germans finally began to face up to the growing threat of Nyasaland.

Of course, for the Germans, the options available are extremely limited. Originally, if the Germans could successfully complete the formation of the Graf Gotzen, they could still deal with the threat of Nyasaland to a certain extent.

It's a pity that the Earl of Gotzen was forced to stop working halfway through its formation, and there is almost no possibility of resuming work. It is impossible for the Germans to send another Earl of Gotzen, so the Germans can only think of other ways.

It's not that the Germans are incapable, but they dare not send it. What if another Earl Gotzen is sent over and half of the assembly is forced to stop?

Not to mention the waste of people and money, it was also a heavy blow to the morale of Tanganyika.

Therefore, the German government is now finding another way and is preparing to send its foreign minister to visit Nyasaland.

The visit of the foreign minister is not a good thing for Nyasaland. The last time William II went to Morocco, it triggered the "Moroccan crisis" that spread to most of Europe.

Now that the German foreign minister wants to visit Nyasaland, Roque has a problem. If Nyasaland refuses to come, it will be impolite and without confidence.

If it is allowed to come, the consequences will be more serious. What does the British government think?What does the Belgian government think?There is also Noda, a Portuguese East Africa, and now there is only a small Portugal of Lorenzo Marquez, what do you think?

These are all issues for Rock to consider.
