Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 651 Arrogance

It was only after a long time that Roque learned that the attack on the southern African pioneer team was really not an order from the governor of Southwest Africa, but a temporary idea of ​​a nobleman who had just arrived in Southwest Africa.

Now the noble boy who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth has been killed in the battle, and even the body has not been found, leaving Southwest Africa and Southern Africa devastated.

It is really devastated. In just half a month, many farms and pastures in the north of Southwest Africa were attacked. Lord, the attackers were also merciless.

All the houses were burned, and all the property was looted, but surprisingly, these raiders had no interest in the slaves on the farm, which were usually the farm's greatest wealth.

It was also a long time later that the Governor-General of Southwest Africa knew that the attackers not only did not harm the slaves, but instead gave them certain living supplies and weapons. Many slaves later became staunch opponents of the colonial government of Southwest Africa.

Here I would like to introduce the specific situation of Southwest Africa. There are narrow and long plains along the coast of Southwest Africa, and the inland is mountainous and plateau, generally above 1 meters above sea level.

The central part of Southwest Africa is the central highland, the eastern part is part of the Kalahari Basin, and the western coastal area is a desert plain.

Germany’s colonization of Southwest Africa started from the southern part of Southwest Africa and gradually advanced to the north and east. In 1884, Germany announced its occupation of Southwest Africa, but until last year, the Germans still did not occupy the entire territory of Southwest Africa.

In just half a month, Germany's rule in the northern part of Southwest Africa completely collapsed. The Governor's Office tried to send troops to stabilize the situation, but the servant army composed of white officers and colonial soldiers was attacked less than [-] kilometers away from Windhoek. Attacks by unknown forces.

These unknown forces fought very efficiently. They first used landmines to set up an ambush circle. After the battle started, the precision shooters shot and killed the white commander immediately, and then used machine guns to shoot the colonial soldiers who lost their command and ran around on the battlefield like headless flies. , Usually a battalion of troops can only persist for 10 minutes at most before it completely collapses.

After realizing that Southwest Africa alone could not stabilize the situation at all, the Germans finally realized the reality. Ceci Wodehouse asked to see Viscount Gladstone three times in one day, and Abramovich also rushed to Little Rock to meet Rock himself. Ask Roque to stop military operations in Southwest Africa.

"Lord, don't say that the unknown armed forces in Southwest Africa have nothing to do with Southern Africa. For the sake of the hard work of nearly [-] Germans in Nyasaland, please stop military operations in Southwest Africa. I promise, this is our first This is the last time I made such a request, no matter how much the relationship between Southwest Africa and Southern Africa deteriorates in the future, we will always be Nyasalandians and will never betray." Abu blushed, and now he is Douglas, a leader in the scientific and technological circles in southern Africa, is not as prestigious as Abu. With Abu's reputation, many scholars and young people eager to acquire knowledge come to Nyasaland every year.

"We?" Rock keenly noticed Abramovich's words.

"Yes, we, I represent all the Germans in Nyasaland, maybe you don't know, my lord, the pioneering team that attacked South Africa in Southwest Africa, the most painful is us Germans, on one side is our motherland, On one side is southern Africa, which we swear allegiance to. We don’t want to see the pioneering team in southern Africa being attacked. We empathize with the grief of the families of the victims. I have brought a donation of [-] rand. Donated by all the Germans in Saran, I know that money cannot make up for the grief of the families of the victims, but this is the only thing we can do-" Abu is also very sad. Coming to southern Africa, Abu is equal to a new life. His All the research results were made in southern Africa, so Rock can understand Abramovich's current feelings.

After the outbreak of the conflict in Southwest Africa and Southern Africa, the attitude of many people in Nyasaland towards the Germans has undergone subtle changes, which is the same as the last time the conflict broke out between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, although this time in Nyasaland The Lanzhou government still has not imposed any restrictions on the Germans in Nyasaland, but ordinary people are tired of this endless conflict, and their attitudes towards the Germans are slowly changing.

In Nyasaland University, some radical students claimed to take action against the Germans in Nyasaland.

However, the school of Nyasaland University is still calm. Douglas personally gave a speech at the teacher-student meeting of the school, emphasizing the purity of the campus and the independence of academics. Any topic related to politics is not allowed to be discussed on campus. The Saran state government also promised not to develop any political or religious organizations in Nyasaland University. The students' task is to study, and they are not allowed to participate in any political-related actions before graduation.

In order to curb the spread of politics on campus, the school severely dealt with a group of radical students, and all of them were given a major demerit. If they behaved similarly again, they would be expelled directly.

"Professor, I can understand your feelings, but please also understand me. I am the Deputy Minister of Defense of Southern Africa and the lord of Nyasaland. I am responsible for Southern Africa and Nyasaland. Any damage I must resolutely fight back against the interests of southern Africa and Nyasaland. This is my bounden duty-I promise you that the soldiers in southern Africa will never kill innocent people indiscriminately under any circumstances and at any time. As for those ordinary people whose interests have been damaged in the war, this is inevitable, after all, this is also part of the war." Rock said righteously.

In fact, retaliation to the current level is enough. If Rock does not want the world war to break out early, then he must stop as soon as possible.

At this time, it happened to be smooth sailing. If the military operations in Southwest Africa could be stopped in exchange for the loyalty of the Germans in Nyasaland, then it would be worth it.

To put it bluntly, Southwest Africa has always been there, and will not grow wings to fly away. Even if this time it is anticlimactic, then when the world war breaks out, Southwest Africa will still belong to Southern Africa sooner or later.

But if Abu is directly rejected this time, it will cause serious harm to the Germans in Nyasaland, which will lead to a large number of Germans leaving Nyasaland. This is something Rock absolutely does not want to see.

You must know that after the end of the World War, the whole world will start to carve up Germany's carnival. At that time, Rock still wants the Germans headed by Abu to tempt German scientists to immigrate to southern Africa. So now Rock must be patient, must be patient, The Germans in Nyasaland cannot be hurt just because of impulse.

Even if their request sounds a bit excessive, it is precisely because of these excesses that they will be more grateful to Rock and more loyal to Nyasaland.

Looking back, Roque sent a telegram to Yaya to temporarily suspend military operations in Southwest Africa.

That's right, all the mercenaries who participated in the operation were Yaya's mercenaries, and the regular army in southern Africa was not involved at all. If the regular army in southern Africa launched an attack on Southwest Africa, then now Rock can drink in Windhoek tea.

Of course, the reason why Rock temporarily stopped military operations in Southwest Africa was also because Viscount Gladstone and Ceci Wodehouse had already started contact.

Now this is what Viscount Gladstone does best.

First, Viscount Gladstone asked Ceci Wodehouse to admit that it was indeed the cavalry from Southwest Africa that attacked the pioneers from South Africa.

Then there is a series of compensation issues.

People in Southern Africa are much more valuable than people in Southwest Africa. If the colonial servants in Southwest Africa die in battle, they can receive a pension of no more than one thousand marks at most.

The pension in southern Africa is so high that Ceci Wodehouse simply cannot accept it. According to Viscount Gladstone's request, every member of the pioneering team who was killed in the attack will be paid [-] rand by the Governor's Office of Southwest Africa compensation.

what? What?

Canadians only paid [-] pounds for killing Chinese?

Come on, that was the price ten years ago, it's certainly not the price now.

Compared with the pensions of those killed, the compensation for the disabled is higher, because this part also includes follow-up treatment expenses and living allowances. The price offered by Viscount Gladstone is [-] rand per person.

In the final calculation, Southwest Africa had to pay 80 rand to Southern Africa as compensation for those killed and disabled in the attack.

As for the losses in Southwest Africa, there is no evidence that the southern African soldiers did it. There are many magical things in the African continent, and there are also many unknown armed forces. God knows who the unknown armed forces are lurking in Southwest Africa. Japanese, as Viscount Gladstone said.

For this result, Ceci Wodehouse obviously couldn't accept it. If Cece Wodehouse accepted such a condition, then Ceci Wodehouse would simply commit suicide and apologize.

"If you don't have money, of course there is no money. Southwest Africa has 30 square miles, and you can use land to pay off the debt." Viscount Gladstone has many ways. Of course, how much money per acre will have to be discussed, and the Germans will definitely not say how much it is worth. how much is it worth.

"Southwest Africa is 80 square kilometers, not a single inch is superfluous." Ceci Wodehouse gritted his teeth, damn imperial, damn miles, damn Afrikaans.

"Very well, then you just wait for the flames of war to burn all over Southwest Africa. I heard that your exports are about to exceed your imports. I want to see how you surpass!" Viscount Gladstone pressed on, this is Glass Viscount Dun supported Rock's real reason for revenge in Southwest Africa.

After the Franco-Prussian War, France quickly recovered its strength with the blood transfusion of the colonies, which made the Germans really envious and jealous, so that Bismarck regretted that he asked for too little money and did not completely kill the French.

In the current arms race between the UK and Germany, with its colonies all over the world, the UK is still able to handle it with ease, while Germany is already exhausted, so Germany has increased its plunder of Tanganyika and Southwest Africa. Who knows It is against this background that the children of nobles who live and die come to Southwest Africa.

Since 1884, Germany has been operating in Southwest Africa for nearly 30 years. In the past 30 years, in order to build Southwest Africa, or to effectively control Southwest Africa, Germany has been subsidizing Southwest Africa. Africa can feed back Germany itself.

Before the conflict broke out in Southwest Africa and Southern Africa, this goal was actually almost accomplished. Last year, the various raw materials sent by Southwest Africa to Germany were already close to the supplies that Germany provided to Southwest Africa. The Governor of Southwest Africa even made a vowed promise to Within two years, exports will overtake imports and feed back to Germany.

In the future, Southwest Africa is known as the "Strategic Metal Reserve". The main mineral deposits are diamonds, uranium, copper, silver, etc. Among them, diamond production is world-renowned. The mining industry is the main pillar of Southwest Africa's economy. At present, almost all mineral products are Sent back to the German mainland to support the arms race between Germany and the United Kingdom.

Now all this is in vain.

Not to mention feeding back to Germany within two years, when the World War breaks out, if Southwest Africa can return to the economic level of last year, Rock will admit that the Germans are really powerful.

Facing the aggressive Viscount Gladstone, Ceci Wodehouse closed his eyes in pain. Although Ceci Wodehouse was unwilling, Ceci Wodehouse knew very well that a stable Southwest Africa would Germany is very important, and southern Africa is dispensable to the United Kingdom. Without southern Africa, the United Kingdom still has Canada, Australia, and India.

And without Southwest Africa, Germany is left with Tanganyika—

The situation in Tanganyika is even worse than Southwest Africa!

"Your Excellency, how much do you want?" Ceci Wodehouse's eyes were dull, like a walking dead.

"The entire protrusion in the northeast!" Viscount Gladstone said bluntly, and the lion really opened his mouth.

The salient part of the northeastern part of Southwest Africa is about [-] square kilometers.

Judging from the area, this asking price is still very appropriate. After all, it is the governor who is in charge, so he will not bargain acre by acre, which is a waste of saliva.

"Impossible, 500 square kilometers is almost equal to [-] million acres. The price of farms in Pretoria is two rands per acre. Is it true that farms in Southwest Africa are only worth that much?" Ceci Wardhower This account is a bit complicated, and Ceci Wodehouse probably needs to use a pen to calculate it if he wants to settle it.

"It's almost that much, how much do you want?" Viscount Gladstone drank his coffee gracefully, in stark contrast to the furious Ceci Wodehouse.

Zooming in to the national level is similar. Britain really has a great advantage over Germany, so the Germans are really not rigorous, they are just arrogant.
