Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 650

Southern Africa sold the Italians [-] pounds for each Gale fighter.

This price is just the price of the aircraft, and there is an additional payment for purchasing ammunition and training the pilots, and more money is paid. In the end, the average price of the aircraft exceeds [-] pounds, which is much more valuable than the "Aviator III".

After knowing this figure, Viscount Gladstone finally felt better. Compared with the price offered to the Italians in southern Africa, the price offered to the British government is not outrageous.

"The strong wind fighter is the first type of aircraft mass-produced in southern Africa. The current aircraft output is a bit low, and only about [-] aircraft can be produced per month. After the factory is relocated to Matilda, the output will increase to two per month. About [-], the Aeronautical Research Institute is currently improving the strong wind fighter, and once it is successful, the performance will be further improved-"Rock has never cheated people in business, the price is high, but it is worth the money .

"What about the planes sold to the Ottoman Empire?" Viscount Gladstone knew that Southern Africa was making money at both ends.

"It has been sent to Port Edward for loading. In the past, Italian pilots and Ottoman pilots were trained here. As a result, conflicts occurred all day long. Later, I simply sent the Ottoman pilots to Port Elizabeth for training. The Ottoman Empire bought a total of They ordered 300 fighter jets, which is much more generous than the Italians." Rock was very happy, just for these two orders, the newly established Nyasaland Airlines earned 350 million pounds.

The airline's new factory in Matilda has a total investment of only 350 million rand, which means that Italy and the Ottoman Empire have pooled money to build a new factory for Nyasaland Airlines.

Although Italy is ambitious, after all, it has just been unified not long ago, so its strength is still weaker than that of the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire is rich because it is rich, but there are more and more serious problems, so Italy and the Ottoman Empire are the same.

This is a good thing for Roque. It is best that Italy and the Ottoman Empire are on par, so that the fight will be protracted, and it will be more conducive to Roque to make money.

It is best to fight this battle until the outbreak of the First World War, so that the orders of the Nania Saran Military Industry Group can be smoothly and seamlessly connected. Rock is treating the Italian-Turkish war as a preview of the World War.

"You earn more here, and the price for the empire should be lower." Viscount Gladstone's envy is beyond words. Compared with Roque, Viscount Gladstone, the governor, has a prominent position, whether it is real power or strength. , Viscount Gladstone is far from Roque.

However, Rock heard other meanings, and turned around and asked Zach to go to the Rand Bank to open a separate account for Viscount Gladstone, and deposit [-] pounds at a time.

This amount is already quite a lot. As the governor of Southern Africa, Viscount Gladstone’s annual salary is about 20 pounds, which is similar to the salary of a British cabinet minister. [-] pounds is equivalent to [-] years’ salary of Viscount Gladstone. Ke did not believe that Viscount Gladstone was not tempted.

Sure enough, when Roque and Viscount Gladstone talked about the price of "Strong Wind", Viscount Gladstone said hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, the price at this time is no longer four thousand pounds, but the same as that of the Italian Ottoman Empire Both are five thousand pounds.

Of course, the cost of weapons and ammunition and training pilots is also indispensable.

The British government is still rich and powerful, and the first batch of orders is 260, plus the cost of training pilots for weapons and ammunition, the value of the order soars to [-] million pounds, which is more expensive than the price sold to Italy and the Ottoman Empire.

No way, prices soared under the arms race. The orders for Italy and the Ottoman Empire were at the prices in 1909, and the prices for the United Kingdom were at the prices in 1910.

After signing the order, the time has come to January 1910.

Now King Edward VII of England is still in good health. No one in the world except Rock knows that Edward VII will die suddenly in six months.

Now that the arms race is in full swing, no one except Rock knows that the whole of Europe will be dragged into the bottomless abyss by the arms race.

In North Africa, the competition between Italy and the Ottoman Empire over Tripolitania is becoming more and more serious. It is said that the newly born Italian Air Force and the Ottoman Air Force have exchanged fire over Tripolitania.

Rock can only rejoice now that he did not agree to directly lease the pilots to Italy and the Ottoman Empire, otherwise the pilots in southern Africa would kill each other now.

Also in North Africa, Germany and France are fighting openly and secretly around Morocco. After the Algeciras Conference, France tightened its control over Morocco; but Germany did not want to see Morocco gradually become a French colony, so from the end of last year, Sporadic struggles against French aggression broke out in northern Morocco.

Also tense are Southern Africa and South West Africa.

The attack on the southern African colonial team at the end of last year has now been named "Incident 1065". After the incident, the Governor of Southern Africa, Viscount Gladstone, negotiated with German Southwest Africa on behalf of Southern Africa, demanding that German Southwest Africa stop aggression in southern Africa, and compensation for the members of the southern African pioneering team killed in the "1065 incident".

The Governor of Southwest Africa categorically denied that the "1065 Incident" had anything to do with Southwest Africa, and strongly condemned the southern African fighter planes crossing the Kwando River. Regarding the identities of those "horse bandits", the Governor's Office of Southwest Africa also categorically denied, even if Southern Africa submitted evidence, It proved that those "horse bandits" were wearing the uniforms of Southwest African cavalry, and Southwest Africa also denied that those people were Southwest African cavalry.

Clothing can be faked, so nothing can be proven.

Although the corpses seem to have many German characteristics, but at the moment when the population flow is so random, there are also many British and Boers in Southwest Africa, and there are also many Germans in Southern Africa, so it is impossible to prove that the horse bandits are Southwest African cavalry.

Viscount Gladstone could slowly argue with the Germans, but Rock was impatient.

On January NO.15, a group of unidentified cavalry attacked a Southwest African patrol force in Southwest Africa. These unidentified cavalry laid mines in advance and used the general-purpose machine gun unique to southern Africa to occupy high ground and condescend to the southwest. The African patrol force launched an attack, and it took less than 10 minutes to wipe out a company of Southwest African patrol forces.

Before the Southwest African Governor's Mansion had time to protest to Viscount Gladstone, on January 16, another Southwest African patrol force was attacked in Ochvero, less than 10 kilometers away from Windhoek. General-purpose machine guns, also land mines and grenades, also took less than [-] minutes, and a company of Southwest African cavalry was again killed or injured.

This time the attackers went too far. They stripped the victims of their clothes and placed the corpses in a special shape in the middle of the road. If you look from the sky, you will find that the corpses form a special word - Scheisse!

The meaning of this word is indescribable, and the degree of dirtyness is roughly equivalent to the German national curse.

January NO.17, the protest of the South West African Governor's Palace was finally delivered to Viscount Gladstone.

"Hehe, I am deeply saddened and deeply saddened for those who lost their lives, but I'm sorry, but you can't arbitrarily say that the attack was carried out by the Southern African army. Yes, the attackers used .0.303 caliber general purpose machine guns, but that doesn't What does it prove? The British Empire has a strong military industry system. Many countries around the world use British military standard weapons. After the autonomy of southern Africa, they also sold 0.303 caliber general-purpose machine guns to all parts of the world. Incomplete statistics include Japan, Russia, and Italy. And the Ottoman Empire, maybe it was done by the Japanese!" Viscount Gladstone laughed out loud, this was the reply from the Governor of Southwest Africa to Viscount Gladstone a few days ago, and now Viscount Gladstone returned it intact.

"Your Excellency, you are playing with fire. I must solemnly remind you that your irresponsible remarks are likely to lead to a war between our two countries." German Minister to Southern Africa Ceci Wodehouse It is simply indignant that Viscount Gladstone's reply is simply a provocation to Germany.

"As long as you dare, we will firmly accompany you. Don't threaten me with war. We are not Herero people, nor are we the rebels who have never seen the world in Honor Hold. If you dare to speak to me in such a tone again, I will kill you If you send it back to Southwest Africa, I can assure you that the southern African army will be able to occupy the entire territory of Southwest Africa within a week, and your local reinforcements will not be able to break through the English Channel no matter what, admit it, it is the same as our British Empire Bi, you Germany are just latecomers, you should respect your predecessors, instead of provoking everywhere like this!" Viscount Gladstone was blunt, and directly sprayed Ceci Wodehouse into embarrassment.

This is the violent temper that the governor of southern Africa should have. He frightens people with war at every turn. What does he think of Britain?

"I'll repeat what you said exactly—" Ceci Wodehouse blushed, but she didn't dare to speak harshly.

There is no way, although Germany has made great efforts over the years, compared with the powerful empire on which the sun never sets, Germany has no strength to compete.

Viscount Gladstone was right. If a war really broke out between Southwest Africa and Southern Africa, then Southern Africa would indeed have the strength to occupy Southwest Africa within a week.

Not even a week.

If a war breaks out between Southwest Africa and Southern Africa, then Britain will definitely block the English Channel. At that time, German warships and merchant ships will not be able to pass through the English Channel, so don’t even think about reinforcements, and Southwest Africa can only save itself.

Ceci Wodehouse knew that a military exercise had just been secretly held in southern Africa. Ceci Wodehouse tried his best to inquire about the news related to the military exercise, but failed.

"Whatever you want—" Viscount Gladstone didn't care. If a war broke out between Southwest Africa and Southern Africa, it might end the protracted arms race, which might be a good thing for Britain.
