Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Nassau is indeed unable to provide support to Grand Bahama.

Even Patton was unable to send reinforcements to the Bahamas.

After the relationship between Southern Africa and the United States eased, in order not to irritate the Americans, Rock appropriately reduced the garrison in Halifax. Now the total number of officers and soldiers in Halifax is less than 8,000, and he can barely maintain the operation of the base.

.

Rock now finally understands why in his previous life, the United States wanted to bully the whole world every once in a while. It really couldn't do it. There are only a few overseas naval bases in southern Africa and such a small number of troops stationed, which costs tens of millions of rand every year.

The United States has so many overseas military bases, and millions of American troops have to eat, drink, and support their families. It seems that the annual military expenditure of hundreds of billions is quite large. In fact, the three armed forces of the sea, army and air force cannot have much left over, so they can only make up for the shortfall by plundering wool everywhere.

To strengthen the defense of the Bahamas Islands, Rock can only mobilize troops from southern Africa, and he cannot mobilize too many troops. The Bahamas Islands are too close to the mainland of the United States, and the garrison is only a symbolic force. Too many troops will not be able to achieve the desired effect.

Instead, it would affect subsequent operations in southern Africa, so Rock only sent one additional battalion to the Bahamas.

Just before the battalion arrived in the Bahamas, new discoveries were made on Grand Bahama Island.

In a cotton plantation less than two kilometers away from the naval base, the officers and soldiers guarding the island discovered traces of the enemy.

"When we came here, the building was empty. We found the bodies of the plantation owner's family in the warehouse of the plantation. All six members of the family had died. The time of death was more than a week." Xiao Yong said with a heavy heart, Grand Bahama

Although the security situation on the island is not very good, there has never been such a bad case of massacre.

Lu Zheng was also in a heavy mood. This was a small plantation, about dozens of acres, and the plantation owner's family lived in a house close to the road.

Since Southern Africa took over the Bahamas, it has gradually taken back the plantations in the Bahamas in an attempt to turn the Bahamas into a frontline against the United States.

The plantations on Grand Bahama Island are also under a recovery plan. This plan has aroused strong resistance from the plantation owners. They are unwilling to leave the Bahamas, so the work is not progressing smoothly.

"For a whole week, it was less than two kilometers away from the base. Why was it not discovered in time?" Lu Zheng was also helpless. There is no need to ask this question. It is impossible for more than a hundred people to control more than a thousand square kilometers, let alone

What's more, it's an island. It can be said that there are loopholes everywhere.

Xiao Yong remained silent. Grand Bahama Island is only 96 kilometers away from Florida, USA, and more than 10,000 kilometers away from the mainland of southern Africa. This is the root cause of all problems.

Walking into the house, the interior was in a mess, with garbage everywhere. There were large dark red blood stains on the floor of the room, and there were splatters of blood on the walls. You can imagine how tragic the scene was.

"Based on the traces left at the scene, we estimate that there were about ten to fifteen people living in this house for about a week. We don't know who they are yet. They may be Americans or smugglers. Those people are very careful.

, There are not many traces left." Xiao Yong could not determine the identity of the other party. The Bahamas is not a world-famous tourist destination now, but a pirate lair, a gathering place for smugglers, and a paradise for criminals.

Many Americans committed crimes in the United States and came to settle in the Bahamas in order to escape pursuit by the American police. The first permanent residents of the Bahamas were people who were dissatisfied with the United States after the American Civil War.

"Smugglers—how could smugglers go to the base and set fire to it—" Lu Zheng was dissatisfied with Xiao Yong's inference, but there was no evidence to prove that the Americans set the fire.

Meanwhile, in Pretoria, southern Africa, Rock and Martin were also discussing the fires on Grand Bahama Island.

"Whether you are an American or not, this matter is inseparable from the Americans. The United States has always been strongly opposed to our construction of a military base in the Bahamas. Although the construction of the base has been stopped, the materials for the construction of the base are still stored in Grand Bahama Island. This is very important to the Americans.

It is always a threat that Americans cannot ignore." Martin believed this from the beginning.

Rock didn't speak, he was reflecting in his heart.

Rock was too busy during this period and neglected the problems in the Bahamas.

If you think about it in Rock's shoes, you can understand that if the United States wants to build a military base next to southern Africa, then southern Africa will definitely not allow it——

Thinking about it this way, Americans are indeed doing this, but not next to southern Africa, but in Liberia, 3,800 kilometers away from southern Africa.

"We must retaliate against the United States in a reciprocal manner and let the Americans know our determination -" Martin was high-spirited. He was somewhat influenced by Britain and France and did not fully understand the strength of the United States.

Perhaps it is not due to insufficient understanding. Britain and France are inconsistent on the issue of the United States. They need help from the United States, but do not want to recognize the international status of the United States. That is why the United States did not even join the League of Nations after the World War.

Europe still has some strength now, but it will not be until after World War II that Europe's wealth will be completely exhausted, and then Britain and France will have to surrender.

"Then Liberia!" Of course Rock wants revenge. Although the US military base in Liberia is far from the southern African mainland, it poses a huge threat to the waterway between southern Africa and Europe. Rock has long regarded it as a thorn in his side.

As in southern Africa, the United States is also tightening its control over Liberia.

The United States not only built military bases in Liberia, but American companies also leased land in Liberia to develop plantations, making Liberia a state within a state.

Like most African countries, Liberia is rich in resources. There are rich iron ore, diamonds, gold, bauxite, copper, lead, manganese, zinc, nickel, rutile and kyanite mineral deposits. Only iron ore

The reserves are over 10 billion tons.

In addition to mineral resources, Liberia's forest coverage rate is 59%, accounting for 42% of the total area of ​​the Upper Guinea forest belt in West Africa. It produces rosewood, mahogany, mahogany, etc.; its land resources are abundant and it is very suitable for planting high-quality rubber.

Yes, any country in Africa is so rich in resources.

Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, is the largest free port in West Africa. The military base built by the United States in Liberia is located in Monrovia.

Monrovia is drizzly in November. The average annual precipitation here exceeds 5,000 millimeters. It is one of the rainiest areas on the West African coast and even in the world. It is known as the "Rain Capital of Africa".

On the edge of the city in the north of Monrovia, a huge construction site is under construction. The military base built by the United States in Monrovia is large-scale, including not only a military port and an army camp, but also a simple military airport.

Perhaps the two countries in the world that value their air force the most are Southern Africa and the United States.

O'Connor, wearing a windbreaker and holding an umbrella, walked into a three-story building not far from the construction site, which is one of Brad's strongholds in Monrovia.

"How is the situation today?" O'Connor has just arrived in Monrovia and is in charge of Brad's operations in Monrovia.

"Same as usual, damn the weather, damn the rain, damn the Americans -" O'Connor's deputy is still Julian, and he and O'Connor have been observing the construction site these days, looking for opportunities to take action.

"Did you find anything?" O'Connor was not in a hurry. Destruction is also an art. To do it flawlessly, you must be fully prepared.

"It's very difficult. The Americans have very tight defenses. It's very difficult for our people to sneak in." Julian stood up and poured coffee, and also poured a cup for O'Connor.

O'Connor held a telescope at the window and observed that Americans are still very powerful in Liberia. The guards on the construction site are all Americans. Construction workers are hired from local Liberians as much as possible. Although Liberia established a republic in 1837, the Liberians have no control over Liberia.

The United States remains loyal.

Probably Stockholm Syndrome.

Through the drizzle, O'Connor noticed that a cargo ship was unloading goods in the port that was beginning to take shape.

This is an ocean-going ship of more than 10,000 tons. Although the current international status of the United States is not high enough, its wealth has been fully demonstrated. Southern Africa is building a naval base in the Bahamas. It also needs to purchase supplies from South America and the United States nearby. The United States is building a military

The materials needed for the base are shipped directly from the United States.

Now you understand where the hundreds of billions of military expenditures in the United States are spent every year. The United Kingdom has cups worth 20 pounds each, and the United States also has toilet seats worth $10,000 each.

"Julian, those freighters-" O'Connor reminded Julian.

"What happened to the freighter?" Julian did not react for a moment.

O'Connor was silent while holding coffee in one hand and twirling the beard on his chin with the other.

At this time, the sound of brakes and heavy footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.

O'Connor and Julian reacted quickly and some sensitive items in the room were quickly hidden.

"Sir, please identify yourself." It was the Liberian police who knocked on the door.

"We are British -" O'Connor sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking very arrogant in both his posture and voice.

"What are you doing in Monrovia?" the policeman swallowed. Don't doubt it, the British in this era are so arrogant.

"Let's look for opportunities to see if we can buy a piece of land and set up a rubber plantation." O'Connor didn't lie. Brad did have plans for this. After all, Brad also needed to develop financial resources and be close to the Department of Defense.

The allocation is not sufficient to meet Bullard's financial needs.

Brad also has a lot of business in Southern Africa and Europe.

"I wish you all the best, but be careful in Monrovia and don't do anything you shouldn't do." The policeman's eyes were full of vigilance and he took no further action.

Caught between southern Africa and the United States, Liberia is also in a dilemma.
