Chapter 567

To deal with an old disrespect like Ade, you have to be an old bastard like Hopkins.

Hopkins didn’t like Adele at all, and Rock still cared about making his family ugly, so Hopkins quarreled loudly with Ade, with countless Fs or Ss in the middle non-descriptive vocabulary.

In just a quarter of an hour, Hopkins returned victoriously, as if he had won a big victory, but he also had his own little calculations in retrospect.

"Locke, you are so easy to talk, obviously we have worked so hard to get the money, why should we build an office building for the Legislative Council, our Ministry of Defense has not yet had its own office building—"

"How much do you want to get back?" Rock understood what Hopkins meant, but now that there are too many monks and too little food, money really needs to be saved.

"Half of the family!" Hopkins was triumphant, and the quarrel resulted in 100 million yuan. This quarrel was worth it.

"Leave the problem of the office building to me, and it will be resolved within a week." Rock took care of everything. In Pretoria, Rock was very capable.

Looking back, Rock went to Henry and asked Henry to give up the police station and give it to the Ministry of Defense as the office of the Ministry of Defense.

Henry definitely disagrees. The Pretoria police station is located in the center of Pretoria, next to the church square. When Rock and Henry came to Pretoria together, the entire Pretoria, Apart from Adelaide's Palace of Justice and the municipal building opposite the Palace of Justice, the police station is the most complete and largest complex of buildings.

Over the past few years, Rock has been busy transforming Johannesburg, and Henry has not been idle.

The current Pretoria Police Station is larger than before. Although the main building has only three floors after renovation, it is 30 meters high. It looks no less than the Palace of Justice. It is used as the office of the Ministry of Defense. The location is indeed very suitable.

"The Ministry of National Defense moved to the police station, so where do you let the police station work?" Henry is now the Minister of Justice, and the police station is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Justice. As long as Henry agrees, the police station will have to move.

However, it is not easy to move. The Pretoria Police Station used to be the headquarters of the Transvaal police system. There are thousands of patrolmen, commandos, and civilian staff. It is not a big deal for so many people to move. small project.

The point is that there is no suitable place.

The current Pretoria is not only the capital of the Transvaal State, but also the political capital of the Southern African Federation. Adelaide, Philip, and the Transvaal City Government all work in Pretoria, so we must Finding a suitable office location is really not easy.

Only Rock could make such a request to Henry. If it was another person, Henry would have served tea to see off the guests.

"Find another place to build it, don't say that the police station has no money." Rock must understand the situation. The richest unit in southern Africa is the police station. Just look at the office building of the police station.

"It's not a matter of money. The Ministry of Defense has two or three kittens and puppies in Pretoria. The headquarters and the general staff are both in Nyasaland. Pretoria is just an empty shell. You want it so big. Does the office have so many staff?" Henry despised Rock's behavior, and when he wasn't working in the police system, he began to poach the corners of the police system recklessly.

"Then what should we do?" Rock didn't really want the police station to move. Speaking of which, Rock's territory was in Johannesburg, and Henry was the local snake in Pretoria.

"Okay, leave this question to me, and I promise to satisfy the minister." Henry was very helpless. Hopkins is Henry's father-in-law. For Lacey's sake, Henry should also solve Hopkins' problems .

It is estimated that Henry still remembered that Hopkins drove Henry out of the army, so he deliberately ignored Hopkins.

Even if Hopkins is an old lady, he is a shameless person after all, and it is impossible to take the initiative to find Henry for this matter.

Rock is the most suitable candidate, maybe this will ease the relationship between Henry and Hopkins.

After receiving the money, Rock couldn't wait to return to Nyasaland. Now Pretoria also makes Rock feel depressed, and the bureaucratic atmosphere is getting worse. Nyasaland is better.

250 million is really not much. If you place an order with Nyasaland Arms Factory, settle the expenses of the umbrella company, and then sign a contract with Christian Construction Company, 250 million is not much left.

Of course, if you spend a lot of money, the effect is still good. At least the Rhodesian Northern Division and the First Cavalry Division are fully staffed. The southern African army is formally organized with 5000 troops for one division and 3 for two divisions. Facing the [-] German troops in Tanganyika, Roque could deal with it calmly.

The intelligence from the German side is that in mid-January, the three newly formed German divisions have boarded ships and set off for Tanganyika, and are expected to arrive in Tanganyika in mid-February.

From this time, we can see how difficult it is for Germany to support Tanganyika.

Rock is also mobilizing troops. After the establishment of the Southern African Federation, the Transvaal was at the center, and the pressure on defense was greatly reduced. Relying on the police forces in Pretoria and Johannesburg, plus the militias in the two places, was enough to guarantee the Transvaal The safety of Siva, so there is no need for the First Cavalry Division to be stationed in the Transvaal.

In response to pressure from Southwest Africa, Rock transferred the Johannesburg Cavalry to the town of Rhodes in Bechuanaland.

Before, Southwest Africa deployed a large number of troops to support Tanganyika, but now the territory is also empty of troops. The Johannesburg Cavalry Regiment is sufficient to deal with any provocation from Southwest Africa, and even put pressure on Southwest Africa in turn.

The Pretoria Rifle Regiment was transferred to Salisbury. Rhodesia borders Portuguese West Africa and Belgian Congo. However, the Portuguese and Belgians dare not trouble southern Africa. The lessons learned from Portuguese East Africa Put it there, if Roque doesn't trouble the Portuguese and Belgians, the Portuguese and Belgians will be very happy.

The Biggest Motorized Infantry Regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness and the best equipment was transferred to Little Rock. As the biggest trump card in Rock's hands, plus the Nyasaland Assault Regiment, which was originally stationed in Little Rock, Rock was finally able to It has a mobile force of nearly [-] people.

When the German government and southern Africa frequently mobilized troops, the Fort Honor rebels in Tanganyika also developed rapidly.

It is no longer appropriate to use the term "Honor Fort Rebels" anymore. Mumu has officially launched the banner of "Zanzibar". The newspapers in southern Africa and the British mainland probably started after the battle of Fort Helmut. Use the neutral term "Honor Hold Troops" to replace the derogatory title "Honor Hold Rebels".

This is an open and aboveboard expression of support for Mumu, and the German government immediately launched a series of protests. However, the British Foreign Office simply ignored the protests of the German government on the grounds of "freedom of speech".

Just kidding, those British newspapers are usually most keen to report all kinds of gossip about the royal family and nobles, followed by all kinds of incompetence of the British government, those professional writers in London, those articles published in newspapers every day, It seems that he is as unscrupulous as if he is drunk. It is nothing to pull out the prime minister and members of the upper and lower houses to scold and comment on Tanganyika.

The British government is still lightly laughing at the lack of tolerance of the German government. The implication is that it is also laughing at the incompetence of the German government. The Fort Honor troops in Tanganyika are now more than 5 people. The German government has put together Can the newly built three divisions really put down the rebellion in Tanganyika?

Don't mess with it, Britain mobilized 44 troops to eliminate the Boers, but it still failed to achieve its goal. If Germany can stabilize the situation with 5 troops, it will further reflect the incompetence of the British government.

Or the incompetence of the British troops.

So during this period of time, the London newspapers are most keen to discuss whether Germany deserves the title of "the world's number one army".

As a result, the mysterious troop that dominated the Battle of Fort Helmut was pulled out again to speak out. Although Mumu insisted that all the troops involved in the Battle of Fort Helmut were Fort Honor troops, no one believed this statement. The ability of British newspapers to catch wind and shadows, and to make up stories that have no shadows, is worthy of special mention.

Almost all newspapers are intentionally or unintentionally pointing their suspicions at Nyasaland.

At this time, Winston jumped out again to brush up his sense of presence. In an exclusive interview with The Times, Winston praised the Northern Rhodesia Division and the First Cavalry Division, although Winston was not positive In response to whether the mysterious army in the Battle of Fort Helmut was a southern African army, but according to Winston, the Rhodesian Northern Division and the First Cavalry Division can be called "the world's first army". All the Germans and French have to stand aside.

This kind of statement has a lot of room to play in the newspaper. The editor of "The Times" is not much better than the editor of "The Sun". Subconsciously believed that since Southern Africa was capable of defeating the German troops, the mysterious force that wiped out the Tanganyika Second Division in the Battle of Fort Helmut came from Southern Africa.

This kind of news is simply too welcome for the United Kingdom, which is in the arms race. Germany is unable to do what it wants in the arms race, and the United Kingdom is also devastated. After all, this is a race with no end in sight.

In other words, this is a race destined to end in destruction.

In early February, Yaya secretly came to Eagle Fort to meet Rock, hoping that Nyasaland would give greater support to the Honor Hold troops.

It was also at this time that Rock knew that Mumu was actually Yaya's younger brother.

This is not uncommon. Africans are not monogamous. It is normal for a person to have three or five wives in a tribe. It is not uncommon for wives like scumbags to form a company. Yaya has twelve younger brothers. Wood is just one of them.

Really able to live.
