Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 580 Irony

Starting from the "Beihai", Nyasaland has gradually accelerated its naval construction.

It took Ulysses Shipyard four months to build the "Beihai", but only two and a half months to build the "East Lake".

After the construction of "Donghu" was completed, the center of the shipbuilding industry was transferred to Port Edward. This time, there were three ships as soon as the construction started, and it took only two months to complete the construction.

Now the Port Edward Shipyard has begun to build the first fast cruiser belonging to southern Africa. This class of cruiser is also named "Edward Class". A total of four ships will be built. After all are completed, they will be deployed in Port Edward, Germany Ban, Cape Town, and Walvis Bay, an enclave surrounded by South West African territories.

It seems that the deployment areas are a bit scattered, which is not conducive to the rapid concentration of troops.

In fact, it is enough for Africa. The biggest opponents of southern Africa are Southwest Africa and Tanganyika. These two regions do not have a navy at all. The southern fee will go without even needing to equip cruisers and destroyers of more than 1000 tons. You can walk sideways in the African waters. If the German government really sends a fleet to support Southwest Africa or Tanganyika, then the British government will definitely not sit idly by. Therefore, it is right that Rock is unwilling to leave the Commonwealth. Big trees are good for shade.

For countries around the world, it is very common to use external wars to divert domestic attention. The federal government of Southern Africa has just been established. In fact, there are still many unstable factors inside. The Boers are the biggest hidden danger.

In any case, the Boers are also part of southern Africa, so since the friction between Nyasaland and Tanganyika broke out, the Boers in Orange as far away have also stopped a lot. During this period of time, not to cause trouble for the federal government is actually doing Contribution, the newspapers in southern Africa also promoted it in this way, calling on all Afrikaners to unite and unite to the outside world.

Now Afrikaners no longer simply refer to African aborigines or Boers, but collectively refer to all people in southern Africa. Federal government officials and all newspapers and magazines are deliberately downplaying the concept of race, whether white or Chinese, as long as they are Southern Africa, then the Afrikaners, everyone prospers and everyone loses.

It should be noted here that apart from whites and Chinese, other races are not included in the ranks of Afrikaners, such as Indians and Africans. In all the official documents of the federal government, these two are not involved. Groups, let alone protection.

In fact, there have always been many voices in southern Africa, demanding that all Indians in southern Africa leave southern Africa and return to India.

This plan was really not promoted by Rock, but was first proposed by Yang Smotz. Although Indians are also British nationals in name, Indians have never been really accepted in southern Africa. Most Indians in southern Africa are Concentrated in Natal, Durban already has a large-scale Indian community, and many Indians have settled in Bloemfontein. It is precisely because of the Indians in Bloemfontein that Yang Smother is extremely disgusted with Indians.

I have to say that Indians are really not good citizens. They are extremely selfish in their lives, self-centered everywhere, and never consider other people’s feelings. During the Orange Plague, Gandhi led the Indians to do something to control the Plague in Orange With great contributions, nearly a hundred members of the stretcher team died of plague, which also made the then Bloemfontein government allow Indians to settle in Bloemfontein.

Then the problem began to appear gradually. Although some Boers who got help from Indians during the plague were grateful to Indians, most Boers were extremely disgusted with Indians. It is understandable when you think about it. People dare to discriminate blatantly, let alone Indians, so there are more and more acts of violence against Indians.

This reality has also forced the Indians in Bloemfontein to form their own community and fight against the malice from some Boers.

Yang Smozi noticed this situation. Before the establishment of the Southern African Federal Government, the Bloemfontein government began to restrict Indian immigrants from settling in Orange, and tried to register all Indians in Orange to clean up India for the future. People lay the groundwork.

Gandhi once approached Rock because of this matter, but was ruthlessly rejected by Rock.

Although Rock doesn't like Boers, he also doesn't like Indians, so Rock doesn't care about the mess between Indians and Boers. For Rock, it's best for both Boers and Indians to leave southern Africa. That would best serve the interests of the Chinese in southern Africa.

"Minister Smozi is indeed too radical. Last month, in order to raise funds for education, Minister Smozi requested to cancel the compulsory education system in southern Africa and levy tuition fees on students to subsidize school construction. The Prime Minister finally agreed to increase support to the Ministry of Education. The appropriation of—" Sidney Milner was also very critical of Young Smudge.

The compulsory education system in southern Africa was established by imitating the education system in the Transvaal. In order to promote English education in southern Africa, Ade would rather give huge subsidies to the Ministry of Education every year, and also implement the compulsory education system throughout southern Africa. In fact, it was a good thing, but in Yang Smozi's view, it was obviously not conducive to maintaining the cultural traditions of the Boers.

"Even if you give them more money, they won't really spend the money on promoting compulsory education." Rock looked contemptuous. After the establishment of the federal government, the Transvaal more or less received some funding from the Ministry of Education. Rhodesia and Nyasaland didn't have any money. Although Roque didn't care about the money, Roque couldn't swallow it.

Therefore, there is no garrison in Orange, and the police system is not perfect. Rock even transferred Joe Russell back to Pretoria to serve as the chief of the Pretoria Police Department, and replaced the chief of the Bloemfontein Police Department with Bloomfontein. Ladd Robert, create as lenient conditions as possible for the Boers.

Brad Robert was a Boer, and during Joe Russo's tenure as Bloemfontein police chief, Brad Robert was the deputy police chief, and Joe Russo was also at odds with each other.

Let a Boer serve as the police chief of Bloemfontein, and not station troops in Orange, Rock's mind is also obvious.

"My lord, Nyasaland already has a complete education system, ranging from elementary school to university, and I'm afraid you don't like the little funding from the Ministry of Education." Sidney Milner, as the first secretary, said to Nisaland Yasaran's situation is also very well understood. With the support of the Rand Bank, Nyasaland is not short of money at all.

"That said, who would think too much money--" Rock told Sidney Milner that he had no children. Sidney Milner, as Adrian's nephew, was the closest friend of Adrian's. Man, Rock has to get on good terms with Sidney Milner.

If you want to build a good relationship, the best way is to transfer benefits, so Rock is not stingy with Sidney Milner. This time, Rock, Henry, and Stoudemire formed a team to acquire the farm in Orange. Sidney Milner Milner was also involved.

The acquisition of the farm went smoothly, and Rock, Henry, and Stoudemire had a bad relationship with the Boers, so Sidney Milner became the most suitable candidate to come forward.

As the first secretary of the federal government and Adelaide's nephew, Sidney Milner is very popular in southern Africa. Louis Botha and Yang Smother also deliberately curry favor with Sidney Milner in order to be able to get along with him. The federal government has a good relationship, so during this period, Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Corporation has acquired more than 50 acres of land in Orange, accounting for more than one-tenth of all developed farms in Orange.

50 acres, about 13 square kilometers, and the whole area of ​​Orange is just over [-] square kilometers. Therefore, the land price in Orange is getting higher and higher, and Bechuana Agricultural Development Company has slowed down its purchases. strength of the land.

Of course, this situation has also attracted the attention of the Orange government, but with the model of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, even if the Orange government has noticed the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company, there is no way to carry out the investigation on the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company. On the contrary, it is necessary to protect the interests of Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company and provide a certain degree of convenience for Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company to purchase land.

Otherwise, once the Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company reduces its investment, the Orange government will be the last one to suffer.

Don't think that the Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company is afraid to do this. Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry have teamed up and are invincible in southern Africa. Now with the addition of Sidney Milner——

To a certain extent, these four people can determine the fate of southern Africa, and their joint influence on southern Africa can almost compete with Adelaide.

"Then you can apply for a special grant. Orange is receiving a lot of financial support from the Ministry of Education in the name of a special grant." Sidney Milner tried to find a way for Roque. Anyway, it was all spent by the federal government. not give.

"Do you think Minister Smoltz will give the money to Nyasaland?" Rock would not believe that Yang Smolzy was so kind.

"You try it—" Sidney Milner smiled a little strangely.

Rock laughed out loud. It was indeed easy to handle someone in the court. With the help of Sidney Milner, I am afraid that even if Yang Smother hated Rock, he would hold his nose and give him money.

On June [-], Erich von Falkenhayn arrived in Ulysses on board the North Sea Police flagship "Northern Sea". Roque and Sidney Milner went to meet him at the pier, and then went to Ulysses Fort Honor Welcome banquet for Erich von Falkenhayn.

When Erich von Falkenhayn heard the name "Honor Hold", the expression on Erich von Falkenhayn's face was wonderful.

"Don't get me wrong with General Falkenhayn, the name has no meaning. Long before Tanganyika built Honor Fort, the name of the castle was Honor Fort. The name was used to commemorate the defeat of our vigilante forces at that time. Belgian mercenaries." Rock still explained that this name is really not to satirize the Germans.
