Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 902

Also deserving of greater trust from Rock is Ali Rashid.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Ali Rashid fought for the Umbrella Company and conquered a huge Najd Sultanate. Now the Arabian Peninsula, apart from a few areas controlled by the Ottoman Empire and the Aden protectorate controlled by the British Apart from that, it has all been owned by Najd Sultanate and Umbrella Corporation.

The current Najd Sultanate covers an area of ​​more than 230 million square kilometers. Unfortunately, most of its territory is desert, and there are very few oases suitable for human habitation. The population of Najd Sultanate is only about 100 million people.

After the outbreak of the World War, the Najd Sultanate also carried out general war mobilization. All adult males between the ages of 16 and 45 entered the army. This age group covered almost all the human resources available for war in the Najd Sultanate. The average life expectancy of the Zhi Sultanate is about 30 years old, which is about the same as that of Africans in southern Africa.

This is still southern Africa. In Africa as a whole, the average life expectancy is estimated to be 20 years old. War, disease, poverty, hunger, cruel and ruthless colonial rule, there are too many factors that threaten people's health.

"I don't want to be the king of the Najd Sultanate. My ideal is that after the war, I can buy a farm in southern Africa, graze cattle every day, fish, take a bath, and heaven is nothing more than that." Ali Rahi De's ideal is very simple. A king who doesn't want to be a cowboy is not a good king.

Don't think that the king can do whatever he wants, look at the little king of the Kingdom of Mozambique, look at the old king of the Ottoman Empire, and Nicholas II, who can't sleep at night for the front line, wearing a military uniform and dreaming of conquering the world, but his heart is higher than the sky and his life is better than paper The thin William II, and even though he is the king in name, George V, who can't even control the tabloids, is the king really that good?

Don't be ridiculous, the king can be a mascot, a scapegoat, or a pet kept in a deep palace. Whether it is comfortable or not mainly depends on your sense of responsibility. After I die, I don't care about the kind of king who will flood the sky. It's cool, but hopefully it's just as cool when they go to the guillotine.

"It's not enough to just buy a farm. It is necessary to buy commercial real estate in Los Angeles, Port Edward, Johannesburg or Lorenzo Marquez, and then entrust it to a commercial company to operate it. This will ensure the long-term continuation of the family. As long as future generations do not die, The family can continue to prosper—” Martin is very satisfied with Ali Rashid, he knows how to cherish it when he loses it, and calms down when he has it. The Rashid family has experienced ups and downs, and it is too risky to be a king.

These points raised by Martin are very interesting.

Theoretically speaking, the capital of a country is the most prosperous, and the same is true in southern Africa. Forget about Bloemfontein. On the surface, Pretoria and Cape Town are indeed flourishing, but in fact, the capitals of southern Africa are really prosperous. unwelcome.

Really popular cities, such as those mentioned by Martin, are emerging cities dominated by Chinese. Needless to say, Los Angeles, Port Edward and Johannesburg are all Chinese strongholds in southern Africa. Lorenzo Marquez It is an immigration hotspot that has just flourished in recent years.

During the Portuguese rule, Lorenzo Marques was the capital of Portuguese East Africa, so the infrastructure of Lorenzo Marques is quite good.

After being merged into Southern Africa, Lorenzo Marques became a new Chinese community. 80.00% of the residents are Chinese, and the population ratio is similar to that of Los Angeles and Port Edward.

"Leaving too much assets to the children is not a good thing. A family without a sense of crisis will be destroyed sooner or later. A farm is good, and the area does not need to be too large. It is enough to ensure the life of the family—" Ali Rashid said In fact, his family is not small.

In the Najd Sultanate, a husband can marry four wives. As the king, Ali Rashid must lead by example. He has four wives and thirteen children, and there may be more in the future. His reproductive ability Really not blowing.

While Martin and Ali Rashid imagined the future, the coalition forces of the Najd Sultanate and southern Africa were marching forward.

On the 31st, the coalition forces captured Basra and captured nearly 5 people from the Ottoman Empire.

On the [-]th, the coalition forces launched an attack on Baghdad. The Ottoman Empire reorganized the defense line, but failed to withstand the coalition attack.

On the [-]th, the coalition forces captured Mukalama, and Garib Pasha, Governor of the Ottoman Empire in Hejaz, fled to Taif, a summer resort in the Hejaz Mountains, with his personal guards.

NO.12, the coalition forces captured Yatrib, and the process went smoothly. The Ottoman Empire only had one regiment in Yatrib. The regiment surrendered without resistance at all.

NO.13, the coalition forces finally marched towards Damascus, the Ottoman Empire’s army was defeated, and the locals organized guerrillas to try to defend their homeland, but their efforts were doomed to be in vain, and the southern African army will be restrained, Naiji Sultan The Chinese army is not, they use the most brutal way to treat the guerrillas, from Baghdad to Damascus along the way almost reduced to no man's land.

While the coalition forces between Najd Sultanate and Southern Africa were progressing smoothly, the Southern African Expeditionary Force, which was still fighting fiercely with the German army in Flanders, was facing unprecedented difficulties.

After the first Battle of Ypres, almost everyone has a clear understanding of the world war, and the war will certainly not end in 1913.

Still insisting that there are only two people left who are likely to win in a short period of time, one is the commander-in-chief of the French army Joffre, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force Frenzi.

The French army lost 5 people in the first battle of Ypres. Joffre was not discouraged, thinking that maybe the next attack would break through the German defenses.

Although the front line is actually in a state of stalemate, Joffre still firmly believes that the offensive can win the victory. As long as a weak area in the German position is found, Joffre will order the troops to attack. Therefore, although the large-scale battle has stopped, the fighting has been going on. Xiafei called this tactic "snacking and eating slowly", but it was actually a tactic of refueling, which had no effect on changing the situation of the battle, but would instead increase the casualties of the British and French coalition forces.

Frenzi fought for command of more troops in London.

After the outbreak of the World War, the millions of recruits recruited by Kitchener were finally ready to be trained. Some of the newly established troops after the World War were composed of experienced veterans. These troops had already arrived in France in advance and participated in the just-concluded Battle of Ypres.

The British Expeditionary Force also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Ypres. Although it was supplemented by the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the Canadian Legion, and the Indian Legion, Frenzi was still not satisfied and hoped to get the command of more troops. He also "quick victory" The supporters of "Theory" and "offensive supremacy" firmly believed that the German army was at the end of its strength, and as long as Kitchener sent more troops to the Western Front, the British and French allied forces could win.

Kitchener, however, considered everything. For Frenzi, the Western Front was everything, and for Kitchener, the Western Front was only part of the war.

Winston also hopes to get more troops. He has always wanted to open up new battlefields and let the Royal Navy play a greater role. November 11th was a tragic day. The attack killed 5 sailors.

The "Dreadnought" battleship is the first battleship of the Dreadnought class, the first battleship in the world to use a unified type of main gun, and the first battleship to be powered by steam turbines.

Today, with the rapid development of warship technology, the battleship "Dreadnought" has become a huge tragedy, and it has fallen behind before it was commissioned.

Even so, the battleship "HMS Dreadnought" still became a symbol of the Royal Navy's invincibility at sea, so the sinking of the battleship "HMS Dreadnought" was a huge blow to the Royal Navy. Winston vowed revenge and chose Dardani For this reason, Winston ordered the Australian and New Zealand troops to stand by in Alexandria and prepare to launch an attack on Constantinople.

After the outbreak of World War II, both Australia and New Zealand carried out general war mobilization. Australia, with a total population of 550 million, was preparing to mobilize 50 troops to support Europe. However, mobilization of troops took time, so the ANZ troops who arrived in Alexandria were less than 3.

To capture Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, 3 people are obviously not enough, so Winston also hopes to get more troops to occupy Constantinople, control the Dardanelles, and open up the gap between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. The passage between them, and the Russian Empire.

After the Adan Company became the oil supplier of the United Kingdom, the oil of the Russian Empire and Romania was no longer indispensable for the United Kingdom, but the grains produced by the Russian Empire were urgently needed by the United Kingdom, and southern Africa could provide the United Kingdom with all kinds of meat Eggs were supplied, and grain had to be imported from the Russian Empire.

Through the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of Ypres, the southern African army showed strong combat effectiveness and became the most capable army on the entire Western Front. Therefore, whether it is Joffre or Frenzi, it is hoped that the southern African army can fight in the next stage. play a greater role in combat.

Southern Africa has indeed performed well after the World War. In early November, another 5 reinforcements arrived in France. These troops will supplement the African divisions that suffered heavy losses before. Six African divisions will return after the new year. to the battlefield.

At the same time, the First Artillery Division also arrived in France. The Artillery Division is equipped with three regiments, equipped with 36 150mm caliber howitzers, and 72 120mm caliber howitzers. The howitzers adopt the latest breech technology and can fire four rounds per minute. , The weight of each shell of the 120mm howitzer is 31 kg, and the shell of the 150 mm howitzer weighs 45 kg.

Although Germany still has larger caliber heavy artillery, for the current field troops, 120 and 150 are enough.
