Reborn South Africa as a police officer
Chapter 956 Burning Money
Chapter 956 Burning Money
While Angie was the king of the kids in Cyprus, Patton was trying to qualify as a naval officer.
Patton served as the liaison officer of the Mediterranean Fleet and the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. He came to the Mediterranean Fleet with John Fisher. The battleship Queen Elizabeth has now officially entered service and is the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet.
As a liaison officer, Patton's job content is very monotonous. As long as the smooth communication between the Mediterranean Fleet and the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force is guaranteed, Patton will complete the task.
However, Patton's ambition is obviously not limited to this. Smart people are always learning to enrich themselves anytime, anywhere. The HMS Queen Elizabeth is the most advanced warship in the UK, and it can be said that it is the most advanced warship in the world. It is natural to serve on the HMS Queen Elizabeth. He is also the best naval soldier in the world, and Patton cherishes this opportunity very much.
There are daily telegram exchanges between the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force and the Mediterranean Fleet. Patton’s task is to translate the telegram and send it directly to John Fisher. When there is no mission, Patton often stays in the combat command room, or Elizabeth In the officer's bar of the HMS Queen.
It's hard to imagine that there is a bar on the warship, and I don't know how much the British love drinking.
Barton's father, Buck, is a member of the Congress of the Federal Government of Southern Africa and the president of the Southern African Business Federation. In southern Africa, the Patton family owns more than 20 acres of farms, making them the largest landowners in southern Africa. Buck also owns shares in several gold mines in Johannesburg. The real family has mines. Barton is the most outstanding young man of the Barker family generation. Buck has spared no effort in cultivating Barton. Barton himself is also generous, so in a short period of time , Patton became the most popular man on the battleship Queen Elizabeth.
"The Southern African navy has no future. You don't even have a decent warship. You can count on those small sampan-like light cruisers and destroyers, and they will never be the decisive force to win the war—" Similar discussions take place.
"The era of giant ships and cannons is over. Aircraft carriers will become a key force in determining naval battles. The Duke of Marlborough just sank the German battlecruiser Von der Tann in the Atlantic Ocean. , battleships can only be the prey of aircraft carriers—" Barton grew up very quickly, and with a group of the world's best naval officers, it is still very easy to make progress.
HMS Duke of Marlborough was the first aircraft carrier delivered to the British Navy in southern Africa and the first aircraft carrier in the world.
The emergence of southern Africa had a great impact on the navy. In another time and space, it was not until World War II that carrier-based aircraft began to undertake the task of attacking warships. In this time and space, during the War of Independence in East India, bombers had already Successfully sank the warship.
The battlecruiser Von der Tann, sunk by the Duke of Marlborough, was the first battlecruiser built by Germany, and the battlecruiser Von der Tann in another time and space in the Battle of Jutland Sinking the battlecruiser Indefatigable of the British Navy, this space-time battlecruiser Von der Tann had no chance to perform. It became a victim of an aircraft carrier on the stage of history. It was the first ship in the world to be sunk by an aircraft carrier of large warships.
"If our battleship Queen Elizabeth found the battlecruiser von der Tann, the battlecruiser von der Tann would also be unable to escape." Someone immediately refuted Patton. Although the aircraft carrier had already bared its fangs, The giant ship cannon was still the mainstream thought in this period.
"The battleship Queen Elizabeth can't catch up with the battlecruiser von der Tann—" Andrew Brown Cunningham, Patton's first friend on the Queen Elizabeth, is now the captain of the battleship Queen Elizabeth. Shooting prosecutor, this position is called gunnery chief in the southern African navy.
Cunningham was the most outstanding British admiral in World War II. He served successively as Lord of the Navy, Admiral of the Navy, and was named Viscount. On September 43, 9, he accepted the surrender of the Italian fleet in Malta. He was The first general in the Allied Army to enjoy this honor.
"Hahahaha, yes, the carrier-based aircraft has long legs that battleships don't have—" Barton laughed loudly and toasted Cunningham, then rang the big bell beside the bar.
This meant inviting everyone in the room to have a drink. Although the number of a dozen officers present was not many, the wine on the warship was expensive, so it cost a lot of money to invite a round.
But obviously, this little money is not a problem for Patton. In return, compared with politicians who are bright on the outside and dark on the inside, soldiers are still simple and straightforward.
Hearing the bell was rung, enthusiastic cheers erupted in the bar, and Barton's ears were filled with flattery immediately.
"Thank you for the wine, Barton—"
"You are a great person!"
"For victory!"
The young bartender was used to all this. He put a large pile of rum on the bar and at the same time asked Barton to pay. The total was 21 pounds. The monthly salary is so much.
Twenty-one pounds was a lot of money at this time, and no one carried so much cash with him. Barton paid with a check from Rand Bank. As the only bank that can directly exchange gold, Rand Bank has an outstanding reputation.
"You southern Africans are really as rich as the legends say, you must come from a big family." Cunningham, who witnessed all this, sighed repeatedly. Although it is expensive to invite everyone in the audience to drink once in a while, Cunningham can also invite Cunningham can afford it, but Cunningham is not willing to pay for a style like Button that has to invite several times every night.
"My father went to southern Africa relatively early, and he worked for the Earl of Nyasaland a long time ago. At that time, the Second Boer War was still going on—" Barton did not deny, mentioning that his father was infinitely proud, and he was not used to using it now. The word "family".
"And then?" Cunningham waited to hear the story. He was born in 1883 and entered the Royal Naval Academy in Dartmouth in 1893 at the age of ten.
Ten years old, many people are still acting like a baby in their mother's arms at this age, Cunningham is already a soldier, and novels dare not write like that.
"Then they started digging gold mines. You may not know that Earl Nyasaland's first gold mine was to house those people who were deceived to southern Africa. At that time, Johannesburg was just a small town, even the police station None—" Barton started talking non-stop, surrounded by listeners, people are always interested in this kind of story, starting at the end of Qingping, soaring above the raging water.
"It's a pity I'm not in this story." Cunningham was emotional. The Second Boer War was the beginning of the decline of the British Empire, and many people did not realize it at the time.
"We didn't have time to participate at that time, but we are included in the story now." Barton has no regrets, and every generation will have its own stage sooner or later.
Before Cunningham could speak, a battle alarm sounded in the bar, and a large group of officers who were half drunk jumped up and rushed out. Some people reminded the bartender to save their drinks and come back after the battle.
After drinking like this, can you still fight?
This is the century-old navy known for its discipline?
Patton didn't have time to sigh. In order to save space, the aisles on the warship were relatively narrow. This group of officers just rushed to the combat position like this. Some didn't even wear hats, and some trousers were half wet. At that time, I found a shoe on the floor of the cabin door.
When Patton came to the bridge panting, John Fisher was waiting in full force, and through the binoculars he could clearly see an Ottoman merchant ship fleeing frantically.
When he saw Button, John Fisher frowned, but he didn't speak.
After all, Patton is not under John Fisher. When there is no combat mission, it is allowed to drink some alcohol. Regardless of the superficial majesty of the Royal Navy, there are actually many problems. It's drizzle, and it's not uncommon to see more serious situations than this.
"Son, what should we do now?" John Fisher still admired Patton, not because of his professionalism. The Royal Navy has no shortage of highly professional naval officers. Winston knows nothing about the navy and can still be the Secretary of the Navy.
"Catch up, stop the merchant ship, and send someone to board the ship for inspection." Patton did not hesitate. All waters in the world are the inner lakes of the Royal Navy, and the Royal Navy can do whatever it wants.
"No, no, boy, that's how your southern African navies handle it, the Royal Navy doesn't need to be so gentle, we're not here to uphold justice, we're here to spread fear, to keep our enemies up at night—" John Fisher killed decisively, the Royal Navy did not need to abide by the rules, the rules were formulated by the Royal Navy.
There is no need for John Fisher's order at this moment. Shooting Inspector Cunningham has already arrived on the bridge. His order is also simple and direct: "Fire!"
At this time, it finally showed the background of the Royal Navy. When a warship wants to attack, it also needs to count and shoot. The fleeing merchant ship is already within the line of sight of the Queen Elizabeth battleship. The shock wave felt that the speed of the warship had stagnated for a moment, and then a huge roar came over.
Patton didn't pay attention to the fate of the merchant ship. Being targeted by a top warship like the Queen Elizabeth battleship, the end of the merchant ship was already doomed.
What Patton thought was, no wonder the Royal Navy was burning so much money. The shells of the 381 main gun were not cheap, and they cost hundreds of dollars in one shot.
It's just that the British don't care so much, it's no wonder that they burn so much money and don't pay for it.
