Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 576 Acquisition

The Tanganyikas who entered Nyasaland were temporarily resettled near Xuanwu City. By the beginning of April, there were nearly [-] Tanganyikas in the Xuanwu City area. Except for the families of the Fort Honor troops, these people , all entered Nyasaland through illegal channels.

The family members of the Honor Fort troops are better off. Xuanwu City will provide them with basic living supplies to ensure their food and clothing. They will only stay in Nyasaland for a period of time and wait for Tanganyika to stabilize. Return to Tanganyika.

Those Tanganyika people who entered Nyasaland illegally have no guarantee of basic life, and Nyasaland will not provide them with free living supplies. Even if they stay in Nyasaland, it is very important for the safety of Nyasaland It is also a hidden danger.

"Most of the Tanganyika people who entered Nyasaland illegally are adult males. If these people do nothing for a long time, it will definitely affect the public security near Xuanwu City, so we have to find a way to keep them busy so that they You won’t make trouble out of nothing.” When Anton reported to Rock, he expressed his concerns about the people of Tanganyika.

"Send it to the mine to mine—" Rock has always treated this kind of thing simply and rudely. Compared with Tanganyika, Nyasaland is indeed a paradise, but only Nyasaland people can enjoy the benefits of Nyasaland. Life, those Tanganyika people who entered Nyasaland illegally, although their feelings are sympathetic, their hearts are terrific.

What Roque hates the most is this so-called refugee. Their homeland is invaded, and they don’t stand up to resist and protect their homeland. Instead, they voluntarily flee from their homeland and abandon the land that raised them. This kind of behavior is really not worth advocating, Niassa Lan has always taught the Nyasaland people not to abandon their homeland under any circumstances. Even if the invaders are far stronger than Nyasaland, the Nyasaland people will fight to the end.

From Roque's point of view, there are also good reasons for not accepting the Tanganyika people.

When these Tanganyika people faced the threat of the German army, they voluntarily fled Tanganyika and took refuge in Nyasaland. If Nyasaland faced a serious threat in the future, these Tanganyika people would also flee from Nyasaland , fled to other countries.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Rock. It is not that there are no resistance troops in Tanganyika, and the momentum of the Honor Fort troops is getting bigger and bigger. These Tanganyika people have not joined the Honor Fort troops to defend their homeland, so Luo Ke Can you count on these Tanganyika people to fight bloody battles for Nyasaland when a war breaks out in Nyasaland in the future?

Impossible, it would be nice if these people didn't take the opportunity to make trouble.

"Okay——" Anton has no psychological barriers to this solution. Even if the mines in Nyasaland cannot use up so many miners, it doesn't matter. They can also be sold to the Johannesburg Mining Union. happy to receive.

As for the women and children among the Tanganyikas, Anton did not mention them at all.

There is no need to wait for Roque's instructions on this issue. Anton will place them in Xuanwu City with the families of the Fort Honor troops. After the territory of Tanganyika is stabilized, Nyasaland will send them all back. Tanganyika.

As for whether doing so will cause the tragedy of family splitting, this issue is not within the scope of consideration of Rock and Anton. They would rather be a peace dog than a troubled person. It is not easy to survive these years.

The issue Roque has to consider is the army building and police system in southern Africa.

Speaking of fate, the two ministers of the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Justice, where Roque worked, are notoriously lazy. Hopkins was pushed to the front by Roque, and he had to give power to Roque. Henry On the other hand, he was used to handing over specific affairs to Rock, and he was happy to let him go.

Therefore, Roque now not only has to consider the construction of the army in southern Africa, but also to improve the police system. The specific affairs of the two departments are handled by Roque.

During this period of time, the candidates for the commanders of the third and fourth divisions have finally been determined. The third division stationed in Cape is headed by Paul Strachey, the former commander of the Cape Colonial Third Division. The Fourth Division was commanded by Robert Bernal, chief of staff of the former Cape Colony Second Division.

These two candidates were recommended by Ade. Ade had previously served as the governor of the Cape Colony and had a fairly good understanding of Cape's military system.

These two divisions were reorganized on the basis of the previous colonial troops, and they still used the previous equipment, and did not spend much money. Rock used all the assistance given by the British government to strengthen the [-]st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division. superior.

The First Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division are now fully staffed. The total strength of the two divisions is about 6000. However, the garrisons of these two divisions are a bit scattered, which is not conducive to the rapid assembly of troops. So during this period of time, Rock mainly solved this problem.

To solve this problem is actually very simple, that is to strengthen the police system and establish an armed police force in the police system, mainly for the security and stability of the location, and the main force is concentrated in the inland areas.

There are many advantages to doing this. Once a war breaks out, the main force can quickly assemble and go to the front line, and it will not be saturated by the enemy immediately because it is stationed near the border.

Specific to southern Africa, in Rock's vision, it is best to locate both the First Cavalry Division and the Rhodesian Northern Division in the Transvaal, because the Transvaal has the most convenient transportation in Southern Africa, whether it is Whichever state in southern Africa needs military support, the troops can arrive quickly.

Only considering the degree of economic development in the Transvaal, Roque had to settle for the next best thing and chose to place the [-]st Cavalry Division and the Rhodesian Northern Division in Rhodesia.

Relatively speaking, Nyasaland is most likely to break out of war in southern Africa. Rhodesia borders Nyasaland. If a war breaks out in Nyasaland, the troops can arrive quickly by railway and train within a day. More convenient than being stationed in the Transvaal.

And another key issue is that Rhodesia's economy is the least developed compared to the states in the northern part of southern Africa, and there is a lot of undeveloped land in the territory, so Rock's contact with Stoudemire during this period is a bit frequently.

If the troops want to be stationed in Rhodesia, they must get the consent of Stoudemire.

Stoudemire's request is also very simple. It is okay for the troops to be stationed in Rhodesia, and Rhodesia can even settle all expenses including the station for the troops. Rhodesia purchases, this request makes Rock a little overwhelmed.

In the past, the weapons and ammunition needed by the First Cavalry Division and the Rhodesian Northern Division were purchased from the Nyasaland Arsenal, and other living materials were purchased from Johannesburg, and from Rhodesia, only various canned food , and because of the resistance of officers and soldiers to canned food, the purchase volume is getting smaller and smaller.

In terms of weapons and ammunition, Stoudemire will definitely not intervene. What Stoudemire wants is other logistics materials besides weapons and ammunition. If Rock agrees to Stoudemire's request, it will affect the interests of Johannesburg.

Like Nyasaland, Johannesburg is also Rock's base camp, so Rock cannot agree to such a request.

"It is also possible to purchase from Rhodesia, but the manufacturer must be from Johannesburg. You also know who provided the logistics materials in the past. You can go to Ada for the specific purchase price." Rock doesn't care how Stoudemire and Ada allocate For profit, it doesn't matter even if the price is a little higher. Anyway, the cost of maintaining the army is now paid by the federal government and London.

"Hmph, I don't know you yet. The clothes of the New First Division and Rhodesian Northern Division are all purchased from the Johannesburg textile factory. The real owner of the textile factory is Phyllis. Rhodesia now also has a textile factory. factory, and the price is lower than that of the Johannesburg textile factory, why can’t the order be transferred to the Rhodesian textile factory?” Stoudemire’s request was a bit tricky.

The actual situation is that the textile factories in Rhodesia have just been established, and they are incomparable with the Johannesburg textile factories in terms of scale and technical level.

The Johannesburg Textile Mill has undergone a new round of technological transformation, and the fabrics it now produces can already compete with those produced by European textile mills. With the low price of the Johannesburg Textile Mill, it is still selling well in the European market.

The Rhodesian textile factory obviously does not have this ability. Stoudemire is now developing Rhodesia, fully drawing on Rock’s experience in developing Johannesburg and Nyasaland. Basically, what Johannesburg and Nyasaland did. Desia copied it, but the conditions in Rhodesia were insufficient, and Stoudemire did not pay as much attention to the introduction of talents as Rock. Most of the workers in Rhodesia's factories were Africans, so the price of the products was indeed low, but the quality of the products remained the same. It can't be mentioned, there is no competitiveness in Europe at all.

"It's too much, you even want to grab Phyllis's business." Roque despised Stoudemire's bottomless behavior, and Roque did not set up food processing factories in Johannesburg and Nyasaland to make the food processing industry The profits are all left to Stoudemire, so Stoudemire should be very satisfied.

It can only be said that the capitalists are still too greedy in their bones.

"Help me, you also know that even if the Johannesburg Textile Factory loses this part of the order, it can still sell its products to Europe. The products of the Rhodesia Textile Factory are not cared about in Europe. You can't just watch my investment go to waste. This way, I will lose everything, I promise, this is the first time and the last time." Xiaosi begs for nothing, as long as he doesn't lose money, even if his attitude is lower.

"It's easy if you don't want to lose money. How much did you spend on the textile factory you planned to invest in? I asked Felice to buy it at the original price." Rock found another way, and it was very easy not to lose money.

"Original price! Well thought out!" Stoudemire flatly refused.

Then I saw Phyllis glaring at Stoudemire at the door, with a bad expression on her face.
