Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 865 Arrest Warrant

The economic pillars of Tanganyika are rubber, sisal and cotton. In order to strengthen Tanganyika’s dependence on Germany, the colonial government destroyed Tanganyika’s original economic system and developed a single colonial economy. By 1910 Tanganyika's food already needs to be imported from Germany. There are 250 rubber plantations, 64 sisal plantations, and 17 cotton plantations in the territory. How many German and British capitals are there in these plantations? do not know.

Tanganyika in 1910, including the future Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and part of northern Mozambique, had a total area of ​​more than 99 square kilometers, almost less than 100 million, so you can imagine how large these plantations are, 300 square kilometers is just the starting price. All the fertile land in Tanganyika is occupied by whites. Africans, even chiefs, can only allocate remote and barren land. How loyal the Second World is is just a joke.

On August [-], the First Cavalry Division landed in Dar es Salaam and launched an attack on the hinterland of Tanganyika.

On the same day, the Southern African Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice jointly launched an arrest list.

113 King's Road is the address of Congressman Chris Bessemer in Pretoria. Since at least the beginning of this year, the secret police of the Ministry of Justice have been monitoring Chris Bessemer's home in real time. The surrounding area of ​​King's Road is A noble residential area in Pretoria, but this is not a problem for the Ministry of Justice. The four houses around 113 King's Road were secretly purchased by the Ministry of Justice. Everyone who entered and exited Chris Bessemer's house was recorded, even Chris Bessemer's dog gave birth to several paparazzi, and the Department of Justice knows it all.

On August [-], Leslie Reilly, Senior Constable of the Department of Justice, rang the bell at Bessiemer's house.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The housekeeper McGinnash opened the courtyard door and looked warily at Leslie Reilly, who was wearing a windbreaker and a top hat.

"Of course I'm looking for Mr. Bessemer." Leslie Raleigh beckoned, and two secret policemen in black suits immediately pushed open the door and restrained McInnash.

"Are you crazy? This is the home of Congressman Bessemer, not a place where you can run wild!" McInnash was terrified. In southern Africa, MPs have a high status, and no one dares to break into MPs like this s home.

Leslie Reilly ignored McInnash, and walked directly inside with a few secret policemen to find Bessemer.

Two South African mastiffs rushed towards Leslie Raleigh, barking wildly.

Without Leslie Raleigh's hands, a secret policeman called the name of the South African mastiff twice, and the two South African mastiffs froze for a moment, slowly came over to smell the policeman, and then wagged their tails desperately.

Leslie Reilly had no idea when his men had gotten so acquainted with the Congressman's dog.

Chris Bessemer stood in the middle of the living room with a livid face and looked at Rayleigh with an uncertain expression. The driver, cook, gardener, and servants were all under the control of the secret police. Mrs. Bessemer invited her girlfriends to go shopping, and the children all At school, Bessemer was alone in the house.

The timing was well chosen.

"Mr. Bessemer, we have three charges against you here, and we need you to come with us to assist in the investigation." Raleigh showed Bessemer the arrest warrant.

"I am a Member of Parliament, and I am also a Lord of the British Empire. I have no obligation to assist you in your investigation, and you have no right to investigate me. Let your ministers come over." Bessemer's face was pale. His words sounded steely, but they were actually useless. The Police Agency is under the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice is the speaker's son.

"Mr. Bessemer, if our accusation is illegal, you can appeal, but before that, you must cooperate with our investigation. This is indeed your obligation." Raleigh didn't talk nonsense. A few arrest warrants, it's going to be a busy day at work.

Bessemer had just been classified as a knight a few days ago, and had already entered the ranks of nobles with some extrajudicial privileges.

But in southern Africa, Bessemer's title of nobility is not easy to use. Jazz is actually a knight, a kind of commoner title, and it cannot be hereditary. As for why the king conferred the title of Bessemer, the motive is definitely worth analyzing.

"If you don't cooperate with our work, then we will take you away forcibly, but that may damage your dignity, so you'd better cooperate with our work, at least it will look better." Lei Li said The handcuffs in Young's hand, the chances of handcuffing a congressman with his own hands are not many.

Ten minutes later, Bessemer, who was only wearing a shirt and vest with a pale face, was surrounded by a group of secret police and got into the car of the Police Department. Handcuffs, but those who watched knew what was hidden under the suit.

On this day in Cape, Transvaal, Orange, and even Lorenzo Marquez, the same scene is happening everywhere. The National Guard cooperated with the Ministry of Justice to arrest 157 people in two days. Some people tried to resist. They were directly suppressed on the spot. Some people couldn't believe it. They just published some unsigned articles in newspapers, some of which didn't even attract public attention, but they didn't expect the Ministry of Justice to remember clearly. Several newspaper offices were shut down directly. Editors were arrested, printing presses were sealed, and even the factories that supplied paper to newspapers were investigated.

When Rock was operating in the Ministry of Justice, he immediately asked Louis Botha to have dinner at the tavern where Rock often went with Henry and Stoudemire.

"Millionaires also go to this kind of place to spend? I thought I had the opportunity to have a good meal, but I didn't expect you, a lord, to be so picky." When Louis Botha is not looking for trouble, it is really easy to communicate.

Since Jan Smoltz went to work in the local area, Louis Botha has become more and more low-key, and the national farm promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture has disappeared. Louis Botha submitted his resignation letter to Adelaide some time ago, intending to resign from his position in the cabinet , but was retained by Adelaide.

Louis Botha is the only surviving senior cabinet official of Boer origin, and the two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture are both of British descent.

"Millionaire" is the richest adjective for the rich in this era, and the richer "billionaire" has not yet appeared, after all, money is still very valuable.

"I can't do it without picking. Hundreds of thousands of people want to eat, and they want to eat better. Millionaires are also satisfied with one bowl of rice." Rock's domineering side leaked, and there are only a few hundred people in Orange State now.

Rock’s tens of 10 people refer to workers who work directly for Rock. Now there are thirteen companies under Rock’s name, and there are more companies in which Rock owns shares. Even Rock himself doesn’t know how many there are. Rand Bank has a dedicated team looking after Rock's assets.

"Yeah, tens of thousands of people. Ten years ago, I didn't expect that southern Africa could develop into what it is today—" Louis Botha sighed, thinking of Louis Botha's resignation letter some time ago, he really had retired idea.

The most direct impact comes from the status quo in southern Africa. Ask yourself, if after the establishment of the federal government, Louis Botha became the prime minister, or if the more radical Yang Smolts was in power, then the current situation in southern Africa would definitely not be the same, maybe The federal government would split and there would be another Boer War.

This was the purpose of the UK's emphasis on Rock at the beginning. Unexpectedly, Rock not only did not become an unstable factor in southern Africa, but further united southern Africa. It is estimated that many people in the UK must be very depressed, and the standard is self-defeating.

"The First Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesia Division have launched an attack on Tanganyika at the same time. There are five divisions in the direction of Southwest Africa. The battle will end within a month." Rock took the initiative to mention the Ministry of Defense's combat plan, and another Compared with a time and space, Southern Africa in this time and space is stronger and has stronger execution capabilities, and it will definitely achieve more victories after the war.

In southern Africa in another time and space, after the outbreak of the war, the British government dispatched the colonial servants from southern Africa to Europe to join the war, and then ordered southern Africa to attack Southwest Africa.

At that time, there was no army in southern Africa. Although the army in Southwest Africa was equally weak, it did not launch an attack on Southwest Africa until a year after the outbreak of the war.

In this time and space, Rock does not allow that to happen again. The war in Southwest Africa and Tanganyika must end in a short time. The situation in Southwest Africa is better. There is not much room for the German army to turn around. Five divisions will attack in an all-round way. , the war in South West Africa will soon end.

Tanganyika is more troublesome, but it won't take too long, and the war will not spread to Nyasaland anyway.

After Germany declared war on Belgium, the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo declared war on Germany at the same time, and then contacted the Southern African Ministry of Defense, hoping to send troops into Tanganyika to assist the southern African army in launching an offensive.

To put it bluntly, it is the servant army of the southern African army.

Rock did not refuse the request of the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo. The Kingdom of Congo sent three divisions, and the Republic of Congo sent only one division. Together with the Fort Honor troops, Tanganyika had more than 20 troops.

"After this war is over, Southern Africa will become the largest country in Africa." Louis Botha had a complicated expression, with relief mixed with loneliness.

As a southern African, Louis Botha hopes that southern Africa will be strong and prosperous, but as a Boer, Louis Botha cannot deeply participate in the rise of southern Africa, which is indeed a pity.

The current southern Africa is not the largest country in Africa, but the French colony in North Africa is, but the French colony in North Africa has no autonomy, so it is not an independent country.

After the annexation of Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, Southern Africa will surpass French North Africa and become the largest country in Africa.

However, Rock's ideals are obviously not limited to this. Unlike North Africa, where most of the territory is desert, Southern Africa has great potential and should play a more important role.
