Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 717 Worshiping God

The world is driven by countless accidents, and the Italian-Turkish war that broke out in another time and space until next year, in this world, it was directly advanced by one year.

In fact, it cannot be said to be ahead of schedule. The Italian-Turkish war reached the point of breaking out after decades of accumulation of contradictions. Since Italy immigrated to North Africa 30 years ago, the foreshadowing of the war has already been laid.

If we push it a little further, the weakness of the Ottoman Empire is the reason for the outbreak of the Italian-Turkish War. If the Ottoman Empire is still the powerful Ottoman Empire, then Italy, which has just been unified for a few decades, would not dare to attack the Ottoman Empire. The weakening of the Ottoman Empire gave other countries a chance. Otherwise, North Africa is still the North African province of the Ottoman Empire, and France and Italy have no chance at all.

If we go deeper, the internal contradictions of the Allies are also the reason why Italy dared to attack Tripoli and Cyrenaica. Looking at the map, we can see that North Africa, except for Morocco, Tripoli and Cyrenaica, has almost been completely occupied by France. Occupation, it is precisely out of fear of France that Britain will acquiesce in Italy's invasion of Tripoli and Cyrenaica.

Southern Africa is also part of the United Kingdom. Although southern Africa has no position in the Italian-Turkish war, Britain has a position in the Italian-Turkish war. Before the war broke out, the British did not allow the Ottoman Empire to send reinforcements to Tripoli and Cyrenaica through Egypt, so Italy-Turkey The outbreak of war meant that southern Africa could no longer sell military supplies to the Ottoman Empire, which made Rock a little sad.

"No way, we are self-governing, not independent, so we must obey the overall interests of the empire." Anton was in the same mood as Rock, as if seeing countless rands grow wings and fly away from the wallet.

Through the trade with Italy and the Ottoman Empire, the government of Nyasaland State and the Federal Government of Southern Africa have benefited a lot. Anton is now used to sitting on the ground and collecting money. With less income from trade, the government of Nyasaland State The government has a lot of influence.

"You can't sell it directly, you can still sell it to a trading company, just be careful not to make too much noise." Luo Ke has many methods, Ming Xiu plank road and secret storage, the old ancestors have a lot of wisdom.

"Sell to Rhodesia Company." Anton is also very insidious. Rhodesia Company owns the shares of Neville and Winston, and Nyasaland is not afraid of any accidents.

When the Rhodesian company was first established, it was only for the development of mineral resources in southern Africa. Now it has gradually transformed into a trade-based company. Many commodities sold from southern Africa to the British mainland are carried out through the Rhodesian company. Neville and Wens Dayton only takes dividends and does not participate in the management of the company.

"No, no, go to the United States to set up a new company, Rhodesia has greater value." Rock disagreed, Anton's structure is still a bit low, and he can't see the future value of Neville and Winston.

Just this year, Neville had just been elected as a Birmingham city councilor and started his political career.

Before long, Neville would marry Anne Weir Cole and be elected mayor of Birmingham.

In a few years, Neville will become director of national services, recruiting labor for the military industry.

In the original history, Neville was very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Lloyd George because of his ineffective work. Later, Neville would serve as the National Service Director, Member of the House of Commons, Director of the Post Office, Minister of Health, Minister of Finance, and then became the Prime Minister of the Empire.

Not to mention Winston, Rock is investing in the future, not the present.

That's why Rock won't affect the reputation of Neville and Winston because of a little bit of interest now, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Going to the United States to set up a new company is most in line with the interests of southern Africa. Everyone knows that the interests of the Americans are blind and there is no bottom line. Money doesn't make bastards, anyway, the Italians and Ottomans have nothing to do with southern Africa when they play their brains in North Africa.

It is actually wrong to say that, the war in North Africa, of course, has something to do with Southern Africa.

The longer the war lasts, the more supplies Italy and the Ottoman Empire will need, and the situation in Italy and the Ottoman Empire cannot support these two countries in a long-term war. Italy is not strong enough. Although it has great ambitions, its strength is not enough. It is not enough to annex Tripoli and Cyrenaica. The problem of the Ottoman Empire is that there are too many domestic conflicts. The Balkans are a powder keg. As the war progresses, the conflicts in the Balkans will intensify, and the Ottoman Empire will be forced to abandon North Africa.

The current Italy has actually exposed the weak nature of the noodle country. At the end of the last century in 1894, Italy took the initiative to send troops to invade Ethiopia, the only independent country in Africa at that time.

In order to conquer Ethiopia, Italy sent 1.7 troops successively. As a result, 1.1 troops were killed or injured, and 4000 were captured. Italy became the laughing stock of Europe.

It was precisely because of the failure to conquer Ethiopia that Italy turned its attention to the Ottoman Empire at sunset.

It's a pity that during the Italian-Turkish War, the performance of the Italian army was also weak. From the end of the war to the outbreak of the First World War, Italy never completely conquered Tripoli and Cyrenaica.

"A few of our pilots have accepted the employment of the Ottoman Empire. Do you want to call them back?" Anton provided a new situation.

This kind of thing is also unavoidable. When Nyasaland sold the aircraft to Italy and the Ottoman Empire, both Italy and the Ottoman Empire hoped to hire pilots from Nyasaland.

At that time, because Nyasaland pilots were also scarce, Rock rejected the requests of Italy and the Ottoman Empire.

In order to train more pilots, Nyasaland encouraged the establishment of flying clubs among the people, which also gave opportunities to Italy and the Ottoman Empire.

"Pilot?" Anton's news surprised Rock. The number of pilots is still very small. Nyasaland has strict management of pilots. Almost all pilots who are qualified to fly have been recruited into the newly established Niasaland. Saran Air Force, it is impossible for these people to accept employment from the Ottoman Empire.

"Actually, I'm not a pilot, but a flying enthusiast." Anton corrected.

This is reasonable. I have a certain understanding of flying through flying clubs, but there are many pilots who have not yet qualified to fly. There will always be some young people who are impatient.

"Then let them go—" Rock felt a little heavy. War is really not that fun. Nyasaland has been making troubles everywhere these years, relying on mercenaries and Africans. He really wants to kill the Chinese. Fill it, Rock doesn't do it.

For Roque, every Chinese in southern Africa is very precious. Roque worked so hard to immigrate to southern Africa, not to serve as cannon fodder for the whites, but to expand the living space of the Chinese in the future, so the war made the whites and Africans Let's fight, the Chinese are still farming and going to school honestly, this is in line with Rock's positioning for the Chinese.

Of course, if war really comes, the Chinese will also take up arms to defend southern Africa, and the two do not conflict.

In the next few days, Rock was busy without touching the ground.

The Italian-Turkish war broke out. In addition to forming a military observation team in southern Africa to go to North Africa, Roque also organized nearly a hundred medical personnel to go to North Africa to form a field hospital to provide medical services for the warring parties.

This can also be regarded as a tradition in southern Africa. During the Russo-Japanese War, Rock sent medical personnel to the Far East in the name of a military observer to provide medical services. This is how the most famous Department of Surgery and Nursing of the Johannesburg School of Medicine came into existence.

Now this tradition must be carried forward. During the Russo-Japanese War, Rock tried his best, but he could only organize more than a dozen medical personnel to go to the Far East. Now these dozen people have become the core backbone of the medical school, and they have trained countless medical staff for southern Africa. There are a hundred qualified doctors and nurses, so now Rock can easily organize nearly a hundred people to go to North Africa.

Unlike the military observer group, although medical personnel are not much dangerous in North Africa, Roque still has to provide security personnel for the medical personnel.

The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company finally had a reason to go to North Africa in an open and honest manner. This job was undertaken by Tang En in Port Elizabeth.

Tang En was also very busy during this period. As the Umbrella Company's sphere of influence in the peninsula grew and the manpower of the Umbrella Company became more and more stretched, Tang En also inevitably accepted some Persians as mercenaries of the Umbrella Company.

"It's okay. These mercenaries don't have the problems the Lord said. They work when they should work and sleep when they should sleep. No one prays four or five times a day." Tang En was very satisfied with the Arab mercenaries. People are very loyal, and Mamluk was once famous in history, but it gradually declined in modern times.

"You can't eat enough, but you still have the heart to worship God?" The tea Li De drank was traditional Chinese tea, which was different from the improved afternoon tea in Britain.

The current Port Elizabeth has something to do with the UK in its name, but its architecture and living habits have almost nothing to do with the UK, and the number of white people is even rarer.

In another time and space, after the discovery of oil on the peninsula, the state formed by the Persians became rich, and then the status of religion gradually increased.

The oil in this space-time peninsula belongs to southern Africa, and basically has nothing to do with the Persians. There are also Persians working in the oil field in Port Elizabeth, but those Persians are also very obedient. kicked out.

Between faith and life, the Persians chose life realistically. They couldn't get enough to eat, and they really didn't have the mood to worship God.
