Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 796

Unlike small planes with simple structures, the biggest difficulty of four-engine bombers lies in the strength of the fuselage structure. The wings of small planes can be made of wood, while the wings of large planes must be made of metal to withstand the thrust of the engine.

Oh, it’s not thrust, it’s pull. When Nyasaland first studied the four-engine bomber, in order not to affect the pilot’s vision, he once placed the propeller of the engine behind the wing. In the end, it proved that this was not worth the loss, and the propeller was placed behind The effect of this is not good, so the propeller is placed in front again, which can generate more power.

Sometimes Roque is also very helpless. When "Strong Wind" flew to France and flew across the English Channel, it was really amazing, but after the baptism of the North African battlefield, the various technical performances of "Strong Wind" are no longer secrets. Italy and France are stepping up their efforts. In the research of aircraft, there have been too many aircraft with performance that is not inferior to "strong wind", which makes Nyasaland's engineers feel a sense of urgency.

The research in Italy and France is actually an imitation of "Strong Wind". Rock never expected that the Chinese, who are famous for copycats in another time and space, would become the target of European copycats in this time and space.

The behavior of "copycats" is actually very normal. After the completion of the industrial revolution in Britain, it became the target of copycats all over the world. Germany's Krupp also started from copycats, but they are better than others, which makes people speechless.

In order to continue to maintain its advantages in performance, Nyasaland has also been making continuous improvements to the "Strong Wind", and did not rest on its laurels.

The crux of the problem is that Roque actually doesn't know much about aircraft. Roque can give constructive guidance on some simple structural issues, but Roque is not clear about the specific technical details.

Basically, Roque's understanding of aircraft has now been applied to the "strong wind", and Roque will no longer be able to give technical guidance for the next research, and it will depend on Nyasaland's engineers to explore hard.

In fact, this is the normal way of technological progress. The research on aircraft in Europe is gradually becoming dominated by the government or large consortiums. There will be fewer and fewer aircrafts built in hand-crafted workshops in the past.

However, in terms of large bombers, as far as Roque knows, only Nyasaland and Russia are conducting research in this area. Italy has developed a bomber specially used for ground bombing at a very fast speed. But neither the range nor the ammunition capacity is comparable to that of large bombers.

In October, the formation of the legendary Belgian Expeditionary Force was still far away. It is said that there are less than 3000 people now, and there is still a lack of equipment, and even a single-shot rifle with outdated performance cannot be achieved.

The key is that the money given is not in place. Leopold II used to grab tens of millions of profits from the Congo Free State every year, but now he is unwilling to pay high salaries to the expeditionary army. The Belgian government wants to pay but has no money. Those in the Congo Free State Big companies keep a wait-and-see attitude. They are waiting for the party that wins the final victory. For these big companies, it doesn’t matter if they cooperate with Leopold II, the Belgian government, or the rebels. Just make money.

Also in October, the Congolese party was labeled a rebel by the Belgian government for the first time.

The Congo Party could not accept this result. Immediately afterwards, the Congo Party declared independence, established the Republic of Congo following the example of France, and at the same time contacted the real rebels.

The purpose of the contact is to negotiate peace. There are only a little over 1 whites left in the Congo Free State. It is certainly impossible to eliminate the rebels whose number has exceeded 160 million. This 160 million is the figure announced by the Congo Free State rebels themselves. Specifically How much no one knows.

The rebel organization in the Congo Free State is chaotic. It is estimated that Banda himself does not know how many men he has. For many Africans, addition and subtraction of more than ten is beyond their calculation ability. Many chiefs even themselves The number of tribes is unclear, so counting the number of rebels is definitely a disaster for the current Congo Free State.

There are now less than 1000 million Africans in the Congo Free State. Even if the figure of 160 million is correct, it is not too exaggerated. Even if the rebels want to lay down their arms now, it is estimated that the new Congo Republic will not dare to hire the current Africans to work, so Negotiation is the best option.

The Congo Free State, which is more than 200 million square kilometers, has hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which is enough for more than 1 white people to live happily.

It's just that they may have to work by themselves in the future. If they want to oppress and enslave Africans like before, they must consider the consequences of being backlashed by Africans.

Negotiations are taking place in Bukavu, which has been rebuilt.

Southern Africa may have the team with the most experience in rebuilding cities in the world. Ten workers can use various materials to build a house in a week, and there are many styles to choose from. Sexual materials can also be customized.

Compared with building a house, various infrastructures in the city need more time. The sewers and roads in the city are the most time-consuming, but greening can be done slowly. Nyasaland invested nearly Three thousand workers have been busy for about a month, and a new city has sprung up not far from the original site.

The new city has complete infrastructure and a small pier that can accommodate thousand-ton inland river ships. The first house built in the city is the church. People who have experienced war trauma need more spiritual comfort. In front of the church It is a small but clean and tidy square, surrounded by primary schools and hospitals that are very common in southern Africa, but hard to see outside southern Africa.

and a library of mostly Chinese and English titles.

Forget about parks, what Africa lacks most are grasslands and forests.

A brand new city is already a huge surprise for these refugees in Bukavu, and with the addition of a hospital and a library, this surprise immediately rises to the point of ecstasy.

On the day the primary school was completed, [-] residents of Bukavu collectively voted to join Southern Africa. Rock had submitted this situation to Adelaide for a decision. Although Adelaide welcomed it, Adelaide had no right to make a decision. London makes the final decision.

This is the biggest inconvenience of staying in the Commonwealth. If Southern Africa were an independent country, there would be no need for so many procedures.

It's more troublesome now. With London's work efficiency, a reply within half a year is considered a quick response.

So Bukavu, which has not yet joined Southern Africa, has become the best choice for negotiations between Isaac Pansy and Banda.

Before coming to Bukavu, Isaac Pansy thought that there might not even be a place to live in Bukavu, which had been destroyed by the war, so he even brought a tent.

After arriving in Bukavu, Isaac Pansy knew why Isaiah Chamberlain agreed to negotiate with Banda in Bukavu, and then Isaac Pansy immediately understood why the residents of Bukavu wanted to join Southern Africa.

I understand that I understand, Isaac Pansy is still difficult to accept emotionally. After the establishment of the Republic of Congo, Isaiah Chamberlain was elected president, and Isaac Pansy was appointed as the prime minister. God, this is about to face a situation where the country is being divided and eaten away, which makes Isaac Pansy very sad.

Of course, even if it is difficult to accept, it cannot be shown in front of Feng Xun, who is temporarily serving as the magistrate of Bukavu. Feng Xun married Luisa a week ago, and Luisa naturally joined the southern African nationality and became a southern African citizen. People, which makes many Bukavu people very envious.

It was also after marrying Feng Xun that Luisa learned that Feng Xun also had a farm with an area of ​​[-] acres in Rhodesia. Feng Xun's family now lives on the farm, his parents work on the farm, and his younger brothers and sisters all Still in school, Luisa definitely does not think that her younger brothers and sisters are a drag, on the contrary she is very envious of the harmonious family atmosphere of the Chinese.

Compared with the family atmosphere of the Chinese, the family atmosphere of the white people is a little too cold. Among the adult white males, the proportion of drinking and gambling is a bit high. Many Chinese also have these problems, but there are not many in southern Africa. Repatriation back to the Qing Dynasty, the southern African government is very decisive in this regard.

"Welcome to Bukavu. My name is Feng Xun, and I am the sheriff here for the time being." Feng Xun was a little embarrassed. He was appointed by the Beihai Police as a sheriff, and had nothing to do with the Republic of Congo or the rebels.

"It's hard to imagine, it's unbelievable, my God, hasn't Bukavu been destroyed?" Isaac Pansy was very surprised. There were no ruins, no gunshots, and no ragged people. Refugees and beggars, when Isaac Pansy and his party walked into the town, many residents on both sides of the road took the initiative to walk out of the door and looked at Isaac Pansy and his party with complicated eyes.

Isaac Pansy looked at them more complicatedly.

A few months ago, these poor survivors were Belgians like Isaac Pansy, but after the war broke out, men ran to death and ran, and women and children became the biggest victims of the war .

Nominally, Isaac Pansy is now the Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo, but during the rebellion in the Republic of Congo, Isaac Pansy did not provide due help to these women and children.

Of course, Isaac Pansy will not think that the rebels let go of Bukavu. Based on Isaac Pansy’s understanding of the cities in the Republic of Congo, Bukavu in the past is definitely not as clean and tidy as the current Bukavu ,Energetic.

This can be seen in the clothes on these women. Many of them are not wearing traditional Belgian women's clothing, but overalls and squares that are common in southern Africa but are difficult to see outside southern Africa. checked shirt.

These are actually men's clothes. If they are seen by those who are more traditional, they will think that these women are outrageous.
