Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 905

If soldiers are willing to buy their own pistols as defensive weapons, why not do it? It can not only increase the attack power of the troops, but also stimulate the development of the military industry in southern Africa. After the southern African expeditionary force came to France, the soldiers who accompanied the troops served The club also came to France with the troops.

The Military Service Agency is an organization established by the Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa for soldiers alone. This organization is a commercial company that also takes care of the postal business. While selling various daily necessities, it is also responsible for sending various trophies of the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force back to Southern Africa. Of course For this kind of business across continents, the postage fee must be a bit expensive.

Officers and soldiers who have gained a lot on the battlefield don’t care about the postage. There are the most pocket watches and rings. Gemstones and diamonds are better. Of course, there are many silver daily necessities. There are many kinds of tableware, candlesticks, clocks and watches. If officers and soldiers don’t want to pay for postage, they can also sell them at a discount to military service agencies. This kind of business is more welcome to military service agencies. .

After the Southern African Expeditionary Force came to France, they sent an average of nearly [-] parcels of various kinds back to Southern Africa every day. On average, every officer and soldier had to send something home at least once a week. The steady stream of wealth was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gathering to southern Africa, compared with the various harvests on the battlefield, the salary and subsidies are really not much.

To Roque's relief, almost all postal packages were sent by military officers. African soldiers preferred to sell their trophies to military service agencies at a discount. A pocket watch studded with precious stones sold for thousands of rand in the market. The purchase price is one hundred, and the Rand Bank has made a fortune. They use paper to buy things in rand, and everyone is very happy.

The officers and soldiers of the 101st Division's offensive unit were not happy.

South Persia Chen has disappeared from the surface of the earth. It is very difficult to find the complete corpses of German officers and soldiers. The spoils of war are all in the ruins and soil. If you are patient, you can pick them up bit by bit with your hands.

The battle broke out suddenly and ended even more quickly, and the attacking troops didn't even throw a grenade, which is a good habit passed down by the Umbrella Company.

The weapons used by the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are all bought with their own money. A grenade costs one rand. If you have money, you can throw as much as you want.

In the umbrella, even the consumption of bullets is very small.

So this can explain why there are so many accurate shooters in the southern African troops.

Under the repeated bombardment of large-caliber artillery and a large number of mortars, the precision shooters had no chance to perform, and the battle ended quickly. The officers and soldiers of the 101st Division who had left suicide notes before the attack and were ready to sacrifice were a little dazed and celebrated. The cheers are not enthusiastic enough, is this the end?

It is indeed over.

Joffre and Frenzi could hardly believe their eyes.

In order to attack South Persian Chen, Joffre and Frenzi were ready to lose a brigade, but the battle ended so easily, and the attacking troops were as easy as an outing.

Behind the relaxation is the rigorous training day after day. This is the one drop of sweat in peacetime and the one drop of blood shed in wartime.

"Very good, congratulations, Lord Nyasaland—" Joffre raised his evaluation of Roque again.

"Excellent performance, Marshal Locke. I apologize for my previous arrogance. You have a very good army. It is an honor for the expeditionary force to have such an excellent force." The expeditionary force that Frenzi said was the British Expeditionary Force.

"Hmm, if our troops also have so many artillery—" Haig was annoyed, he forgot that his cavalry, which he had been talking about all along, decided everything.

"If more shells can be exchanged for the precious lives of soldiers, it is obviously worth it." Marcos Lloyd is convinced, he has reached the age of retirement, and their generation is about to draw the curtain. The future is Rock The age of these young people.

Rock is also 33 years old now, which is not too young in terms of the average life expectancy in this era.

But for a country's leadership, Roque is ridiculously young.

"Lord Nyasaran, if you have time at night, I hope we can have dinner together—" Foch hoped to communicate more with Roque. Roque must have time at night. It's not drastic, but it's sure to be tomorrow's headline.

"My lord, 101 people from the 11st Division were injured, basically all kinds of sprains, only one unlucky soldier who jumped into a crater and broke his leg—" Angie reported the loss of the troops, the guy who broke his leg was indeed unlucky , but certainly not as unlucky as the unlucky guy who can only smell the smell because his mouth is injured.

"Very good, send the wounded soldiers back to Calais to take good care of them. They are lucky guys. Those who break their legs can receive a contribution medal, and a sprained ankle is also a contribution medal. The contribution medal will be worthless after all. ——" Rock put on a show, if this standard is followed, Rock can also get a contribution medal.

Rock was bitten by a bug when he was sleeping last night. It's winter and I don't know where there are so many bugs.

Regardless of whether it is valuable or not, winners of the Medal of Contribution will receive a bonus of one shilling for the rest of their lives every month. The bonuses of various medals can be accumulated, and there is no limit to the number of times. Every injury has a medal of contribution. Katanga has a lot of copper mines.

The contribution medal also contains gold, but the proportion is relatively small. Compared with the actual value, it is mainly honor.

Although the process was relatively flat, victory is victory, and it deserves a special mention. After discussing with Roque, Joffre, and Frenzi, the loss of the German army was confirmed to be [-]. However, due to the intense artillery fire, the German army's corpses had already melted. It cannot be counted for powder.

No one cared about the actual number of German casualties. The figure of 92 was given to the newspapers. Roque, Joffre, and Frenzi were trying to save face by not confirming that the [-]nd Division of the German Army was wiped out.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if they are all sprayed to death. Anyway, the Allied Powers can’t see the German newspapers. For this battle, the German newspapers will definitely describe it as the 92nd Division fighting bravely and inflicting heavy damage on the attacking British and French allied forces before retreating. As for Whether the attacking force is the British and French Allied Forces or the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the Germans who "celebrate victory" don't care.

After returning to Paris, there was the expected celebration banquet. Christian returned from London and brought back the news that Rock wanted most.

"Russia urgently needs all kinds of military-related combat supplies. Our commodity list has been bought by the Russians. Apart from shells, the largest commodity purchased by Russia is vodka. It is purchased according to the current demand of one kilogram per person per day for the frontline troops. , the delivery method has become the biggest problem, the Ottoman Empire has closed the Dardanelles, we need to open up the channel with Russia as soon as possible.” Christian, who is full of money, has started to pay attention to the war, there must be a way to open it question.

"It's Winston's business to open up the Dardanelles. How many orders have we got?" Rock doesn't care about the Dardanelles. Even if the Royal Navy takes down Constantinople, there is nothing wrong with southern Africa. Britain, France and Russia have fought for Constantinople for hundreds of years, the Dardanelles are full of brains, and southern Africa has no chance.

"2000 million, every month!" Christian laughed, no need to ask, his trading company also has a lot of orders.

There are actually 2000 million, or what the hell? Every month, Rock smiles. Lloyd George is such a good comrade. Enterprises in southern Africa should crowdfund Lloyd George to give Lloyd George a one-ton medal.

The golden kind!

It sounds like a ton of gold is a lot, but in fact it is not much. Using the exchange rate before the outbreak of the World War, it is less than 14 pounds.

After the outbreak of World War II, London announced that it would stop the exchange of pounds for gold, and the circulation of gold coins had ceased. The Rand Bank was still adhering to the gold standard system, but it had quietly lowered the exchange rate for gold. One rand was exchanged for five grams of gold.

Before the outbreak of the World War, the ratio of GBP to gold was 1:7.32238, and the number after the decimal point was a bit long.

"Is it really okay for you two to calculate London and St. Petersburg like this--" Ada was reclining on a chaise longue, and in order to chase Rock to France, Ada even threatened Ade with resignation.

Ada is now the female finance minister of the Federal Government of Southern Africa. There are also good reasons for coming to Europe. The source of income for the Federal Government of Southern Africa is now Europe. How much can be collected from farmers to collect taxes, and international trade is the bulk.

In order to increase the federal government's fiscal revenue, Ada is also racking her brains. A member of the Southern African Congress proposed to establish a national-level trading company to export to Europe in the name of the federal government to increase the profits of the federal government. Then the proposed member was directly impeached , the country's trade was stillborn.

The companies engaged in international trade in southern Africa are giants such as Nyasaland, South Africa, and Fawalt, and last but not least, the freaks with a deep background in government and business such as Christian. These private companies will never Let other people get involved in this industry. Congress is studying the "Trade Act" and restricting enterprises with international trade qualifications. The reason is also very good to ensure product quality and strictly prohibit the export of inferior goods, so as not to affect the reputation of southern African products in Europe. .

"How can it be a calculation? We are working overtime to raise supplies for the Allied Powers to defeat the evil group. London and St. Petersburg should give us medals." Rock is righteous and eager to think about what others think. Proper profit is normal There will be no pie in the sky, and there must be evil intentions behind the love for no reason.

These are white values.

"It's Rasputin who should be blamed. This guy didn't do anything, and he earns much easier money than us—" can keep Christian in mind, and it is estimated that it will benefit Rasputin a lot.

These people really deserve to be killed.
