Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 622 Rolling

Stuart Coffey is indeed a straight man. Although Stuart Coffey's words are well-intentioned, but the kind of condescension that is not there, it is estimated that other people would have been furious.

Catherine Wright accepted it calmly. This is not an illusory dispute of words. Everything depends on the results. If the performance of "Strong Wind" is not as good as that of "Aviator III", then Catherine Wright does not need to fight back. It is estimated that Stuart Cole Fee would be ashamed.

The communication at the dinner was fairly peaceful, but when it came to the preparation stage the next morning, the gap between the team and the individual became more obvious.

Airplanes in this period did not need a special runway, and they could take off and land smoothly by finding a relatively flat grassland, so the preparation work was carried out on a grassy field outside Canai.

I have to say that Europeans really enjoy life very much.

If this were in a Chinese gathering area, the Chinese would never have reserved such a grassland for people to rest in the suburbs of the city. It would have been turned into various fertile fields long ago.

In Europe, however, there are countless such grasslands and forests. The Europeans seem to have moved all the crops to the colonies. Even if the local land in Europe is developed, it is planted with various economic crops such as vineyards and flower beds.

This is the case in the outskirts of Canai City. There are no large wheat fields or herds of cattle and sheep in the outskirts of the city. Instead, many residents and media reporters waiting to be interviewed gathered around the camp early on. Among all the flight teams preparing for the test , the flight team in southern Africa is undoubtedly the largest.

This hugeness is definitely not bloated, but each performs its duties in an orderly manner.

In fact, the preparations had already started last night.

This time, a total of six flying teams are preparing to fly across the English Channel to challenge the £[-] prize offered by the Daily Mail.

Of the six flying teams, two are from mainland France, one is from the UK, one is from Italy, the last is the Wright Brothers team from the United States, and a flying team from southern Africa.

In addition to the flight team from southern Africa, among the other flight teams, Hubers Latham's flight team has the largest number of members. The members are all fat and strong, and they don't seem to have much to do with the job of flying.

There are also many people in the flight team in southern Africa with guns. Not only the professional mercenaries of the umbrella company, but also many ground crews also wear weapons. The white holster is still very conspicuous outside the dark blue uniform, but the model of the gun is different. Uniform, some are Rugers, some are Brownings, and some are wearing revolvers, but they are not the kind of Webley that has been eliminated, but the cowboys produced by Nyasaland Arsenal.

Cowboy pistols, strictly speaking, have surpassed the category of self-defense weapons. With a barrel length of 266 mm and a weight of 2.3 kg, quick-draw holsters cannot be used at all, so decoration plays a greater role.

This can't be helped, the silver-white barrel is really beautiful.

However, this kind of pistol is very popular in southern Africa, and many young people will choose "cowboy" as a coming-of-age gift for themselves.

In order to cultivate the martial spirit of the Chinese, the Nyasaland Arsenal priced the "cowboys" very low, only a little higher than the cost price, and the price in Nyasaland, Rhodesia, and Transvaal was only fifteen rands. special.

However, outside these three places, the price of "denim" has risen to 20 rand. If it is outside southern Africa, the price of denim is as high as 35 rand, which is a standard luxury accessory.

The exchange rate between the rand and the British pound is one to one, so 35 rand is 35 pounds, which is almost a third of the annual income of a middle-class family in the UK.

Since arriving at Canai, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company have built a temporary camp on the grass on the outskirts of Canai. The temporary camp consists of more than a dozen tents and two hangars that were built quickly. This time the team brought two "Gorgeous Winds" and enough parts to assemble a third "Gordon", so the size of the camp is a bit large.

Early in the morning, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company set up a cordon around the camp. The logo of the Umbrella Company was clearly printed on the yellow and white isolation belt. Behind the cordon, there were mercenaries patrolling with police dogs. These police dogs were all Tall and strong South African mastiffs, the mercenaries are equipped with pistols and shotguns, which can warn some guys with ulterior motives to the greatest extent.

Captain Marshall came to the camp early in the morning, and soon after arriving at the camp, Catherine Wright came to find Captain Marshall.

"Captain, you have to be careful, Hubers Latham hired a lot of gunmen last night, claiming to make you look good—" Catherine Wright came to inform.

"Thank you, don't worry, we have the ability to protect ourselves." Captain Marshall was wearing a uniform of a Southern African officer without military rank, and a khaki baseball cap with the national emblem of the Federal Government of Southern Africa embroidered on it.

In this time and space, there is no goddess of war and lion on the national emblem of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, let alone spears and round-headed clubs. Instead, the heron eagle appears on the national emblem of the Federal Government, and it has a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, which is very symbolic.

Although the flight team hired professional mercenaries from the Umbrella Company, Captain Marshall was a professional soldier of the Southern African Federal Government, so if Hubers Latham thought that he could challenge the majesty of the Southern African Federal Government by gathering some rabble, Then Hubers Latham was wrong.

If Hubers Latham really dared to find trouble, then Captain Marshall would not mind letting Hubers Latham know what the iron fist of nationalism is.

Captain Marshall also has the identity of the military attache of the Southern African Embassy in France, so Captain Marshall has diplomatic immunity in France. If Hubers Latham really dares to provoke, then even if Captain Marshall kills Hubers on the spot Latham, Captain Marshall will not stand trial either.

The Federal Government of Southern Africa will never allow this to happen.

Of course, Captain Marshall's confidence was not groundless. Although the flight team only hired forty mercenaries, most of these forty mercenaries had combat experience, and the members were all Germans who were known for their discipline. A Cossack known for its combat effectiveness, Captain Marshall is very confident whether it is hand-to-hand combat or firefights.

"Okay then, good luck to you!" Catherine Wright was very smart, she left after reminding her, and greeted Hubers Latham from a distance when she passed by Hubers Latham's camp. Don't care about those frivolous whistles and obscene harassment.

Hubers Latham looked at Captain Marshall, of course his eyes were tearing apart.

Hubbles Latham was thrown directly into a small river next to the camp yesterday by two mercenaries. This kind of humiliation, Hubbles Latham will never forget.

Captain Marshall didn't seem to notice Hubers Latham's gaze, he went around the camp as if nothing had happened, and ordered the armored vehicle to be driven out after returning to the tent.

There are two armored vehicles, one is equipped with a 17.78mm large-caliber heavy machine gun, and the other is equipped with a 40mm grenade launcher. The drivers of the armored vehicles are also professional soldiers from southern Africa.

Unlike general-purpose machine guns, the barrel of the 17.78mm large-caliber heavy machine gun is 1.2 meters long, and the length of the gun reaches 1.7 meters. Compared with shotguns and Lee Enfield, longer barrels mean farther A larger caliber means greater power. It may be possible to be saved by being hit by a Lee Enfield military rifle, but if you are hit by a large-caliber heavy machine gun, even if you are lucky enough to survive, it will cause lifelong disabilities. Therefore, the large-caliber heavy The deterrent effect of machine guns is self-evident.

As soon as the flight team drove out the armored vehicle, the originally lively grassland suddenly fell silent.

What are you doing? It’s just an air show, and the bonus is only [-] pounds. You drove all the armored vehicles, and you bought two at once, isn’t that enough gas money?

Not to mention the amateur gunmen hired by Hubers Latham, even the onlookers felt that the atmosphere was a bit abnormal.

The reporters who watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal were excited. This was not an air show at all, but a concentrated display of the advanced weapons of the Southern African Federal Government. Almost all the reporters gathered around the camp of the Southern African flight team, and the magnesium powder flashlights were even more impressive. It was a series of bang bang bang.

As a result, many mercenaries took out their sunglasses and put them on, which further increased the deterrence of the mercenaries and caused a series of bang bang bang.

For the European people, the style of sunglasses is also very rare. Sunglasses in this period were mainly made of glass, because the yield was not high, so the price was extremely expensive, and the goggles specially used for driving became rich and fashionable. However, people didn’t seem to realize that goggles can be worn when not driving.

So it is really too easy for a traveler to make a fortune. In the 21st century, just a little common sense in life can make a fortune back in the past.

However, the eyes of reporters and the public quickly shifted to the "strong wind" that was making preparations.

The technicians and ground crews of the southern African flight team were very professional at this time. Although the temporary runway had been cleaned several times, the ground crews still carried out the last inspection hand in hand to ensure that there were no obvious potholes on the ground. The test does the final preparations.

The technicians are checking whether all parts of the "strong wind" are normal to ensure that there will be no problems during the flight.

The engine used by "Strong Wind" is a four-type air-cooled piston engine produced by Nyasaland Engine Factory. From this model, it can be seen that Nyasaland has gone far in the field of aero engines and is far ahead of this era.

The two crew members turned the propeller at the nose together, and the engine made a worrying crackling sound, and then spun rapidly.

At this time, the test pilot came out of the nearby tent.
