Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

There are many islands in the Adang Islands. The main island, Zhenghe Island, plus affiliated islands, have a total number of 2,300.

There are 2,300 islands, but the total area is only 60 square kilometers. Most of the islands are reefs that are only slightly exposed from the sea and are not suitable for human habitation at all. Currently, there are only a few islands in the Adan Islands where humans live.

"These affiliated islands must be regularly inspected, and no one can be lost. Even though these islands and reefs are ineffective now, they may play a huge role in the future." What Roque regrets most is that there is not yet one as big as the Sky Whale. Dredgers, otherwise it won't take long for southern Africa to have more Zhenghe Islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

The Egmont Islands affiliated with the Adand Islands, the Salomon Islands in the northeast, and the Peruvian Badanhos Islands in the north are actually atolls. If there are large dredgers, these reefs can be connected into One area has expanded into an island. The Peruvian Islands in the north are 29 kilometers wide from east to west and 26 kilometers long from north to south. Its potential is not inferior to that of Zhenghe Island.

It seems that Zhu Jun does not understand the significance of these reefs, but this does not prevent Zhu Jun from carrying out Roque's orders. It is said that if you understand, you must execute, and if you don't understand, you must execute. Soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty.

However, Zhu Jun faced many difficulties. There were only two companies of soldiers on Zhenghe Island, and the total strength was less than 300 people. It was indeed difficult to completely cover an area of ​​70,000 to 80,000 square kilometers.

Luo Kezheng and Zhu Jun took a patrol boat to inspect the Egmont Islands, which is a coral atoll composed of six islands with a total area of ​​29 square kilometers and a land area of ​​about four square kilometers. The largest island is Southeast Egmont Island in the southeast. , covering an area of ​​about 1.5 square kilometers, and the island is entirely covered with coconut trees.

"The Egmont Islands are uninhabited. We will patrol every once in a while -" The situation Zhu Jun said was not consistent with what Rock saw. Through the telescope, Rock clearly saw the southeastern Egmont Island. There seemed to be buildings on the beach, and there was a fishing boat parked on the beach next to it.

At this time, Zhu Jun finally noticed the existence of the fishing boat. Without Roque's order, Zhu Jun ordered the patrol boat to drive directly over.

There were indeed people on the island. When they saw the patrol boat, the people on the island were still waving to the patrol boat.

Zhu Jun had an ugly expression. Seeing that Roque had no intention of giving an order, he ordered the patrol boat to dock directly.

"Gentlemen, good morning -" There were three men and one woman on the island. Several people were obviously nervous, and the voice of a dark-skinned, short young man was trembling.

"Who are you?" Zhu Jun didn't mean to say hello, and his expression was stern as soon as he came up.

"Indian, my name is Singh——"

"No one cares what your name is, why are you here?"

"We want to live here, there is no one here, and we won't hinder others -"

"There is no one living on the grassland in front of Buckingham Palace. Why don't you go and live there?" Zhu Jun was furious. This reason is definitely not valid. This is no longer the age of exploration.

The explorers of the Age of Discovery often named the island after themselves after discovering it, and then erected a monument or something on the island. The island became the private property of the discoverer.

This situation is definitely impossible now. Roque paid money to buy the Chagos Islands from Mauritius. All the islands in this area are Roque's private property. No one can arbitrarily occupy them without Roque's permission.

"Sir, this island is not inhabited at all, we can pay -" Singh begged, his name seemed to be Sikh.

"No one wants your money, leave here immediately, don't force me to use force." Zhu Jun did not give him a chance. This is not a question of money at all. If they are allowed to stay here, it will cause many problems in the future.

Following Zhu Jun's order, several soldiers jumped onto the beach with rifles in hand. One of the soldiers casually attached a bayonet to his rifle. This action obviously made Singer more nervous.

"Sir, please don't do this, we are British too -" Singh begged with his hands clasped together, trying to stop the aggressive soldiers.

"Ha, ask the British if they admit that you are British -" Zhu Jun perfectly played the role of a cruel and unkind colonist.

After several soldiers came ashore, they controlled Singh and three other people. One of the young men tried to resist, but was viciously knocked to the ground by a soldier with the butt of his rifle.

"Okay, okay, we won't resist, please don't hurt us-" Singer finally recognized the fact that his British identity was of no use to the southern Africans.

Southern Africa, like India, was a British colony.

However, southern Africa has achieved autonomy through its contribution to the British Empire, but India's situation has not improved at all.

After the outbreak of the world war, in order to gain India's full support, London promised to give it the same autonomous status as India and southern Africa after the world war.

Unfortunately, after the World War, Britain did not fulfill its promise, and when India was in deep economic crisis and unable to extricate itself, it also transported a large amount of food from India. As a result, a serious humanitarian disaster broke out in India, and the number of people who died of starvation may be as high as 20 million.

However, the above statement was made by the Indians themselves and has not been confirmed by the British government.

The British did transport a lot of food from India, but it was not forcibly plundered from India by the British. Instead, the Indian kings and businessmen voluntarily sold the food to British businessmen. Therefore, strictly speaking, the humanitarian disaster in India is not Can't blame the British.

This is the case in India. Natural and man-made disasters will not make the rich in India merciful. On the one hand, those rich are seeking British assistance to help India get rid of hunger. On the other hand, they sell the excess grain to British businessmen instead of Selling to the poor in India at a reduced price, who can blame you?

Anyway, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in southern Africa.

Several Indians were all taken aboard the patrol boat, and then the soldiers set fire to the straw huts built by several Indians, and completely destroyed the fishing boat that was stranded on the shore.

The Indian girl couldn't help crying when she saw the scene in front of her, and several Indian youths also looked sad and angry.

"My lord, do you think this is appropriate?" Zhu Jun asked this question inappropriately. He was already burning up before he asked Roque. What should he do if it's not appropriate?

"How to deal with these people?" Rock is still concerned about the aftermath. If this kind of thing is not handled well, there will be trouble.

"I will find a ship to India and put these people on board. As for how the captain will treat them, it depends on God's will." Very good, Zhu Jun's way of handling it is very British.

"Then what?" Rock asked.

Zhu Jun's eyes widened, what he just said was probably all.

"This is not possible -" Rock shook his head. This method of handling seemed good, but it was still a bit rough and might cause new troubles: "-Either give them some money as compensation for them. After all, you just burned The house and the boat—"

Luo Ke hadn't finished speaking, it was up to Zhu Jun to figure out exactly what to do.

"I understand, Lord, I will definitely handle it properly -" Zhu Jun was serious. It is impossible to be cruel, but the Indian Ocean is rough and rough, so it is normal if any accident happens.

"The scenery here is really beautiful. If it is properly promoted, it will definitely become a tourist attraction-" Sidney Milner didn't care about the fate of those people at all, as if it never happened.

This is the correct attitude to deal with this kind of thing.

The scenery of the Egmont Islands is indeed quite good. Two of the six islands are relatively large. The length of the reef is about 11 kilometers. It only needs to build a breakwater on the other side of the reef. Another Zhenghe Island.

The only regret is that the central lagoon of the Egmont Islands is not deep enough and is full of coral reefs of varying heights, making it impossible for large ships to dock.

It’s no problem if you can’t park a big boat. Big boats can go to Zhenghe Island, the central lagoon of the Egmont Islands. It doesn’t need to be repaired and it is an excellent diving spot. The seawater quality here is very high and the transparency is very high. The depth of three to five meters can be seen at a glance. You can see the bottom of the sea, which is not much better than the famous Crystal Coast. No wonder those Indians chose this place.

"No, this place is too far away from the mainland and is not suitable for tourism development -" Rock has no intention of developing tourism in the Adang Islands. With the advancement of navigation technology, the Addan Islands will return to its military nature sooner or later. It is an inaccessible and wild place, and only when war breaks out will it attract attention.

Roque did not stay in the Addam Islands for too long. The meeting was originally expected to start on October 1st, and Roque had enough time to slowly travel to London.

As a result, it is estimated that all countries are paying more attention to Germany's reparations. Except for Rock, who is still leisurely leisurely in the Indian Ocean, representatives from other countries participating in the meeting have arrived in London in advance.

Roark could only cancel his plan, and he had to wait until his return trip to visit Port Elizabeth and Cyprus. It would be inappropriate to have so many people waiting for Roark.

Rock never imagined how urgent all countries were to pay reparations to Germany. The heavy cruiser "Edward" on which Rock was riding had just passed the Suez Canal when he received a telegram from Francois from London.

Just now, C.G. Dawes proposed the famous "Dawes Plan" to British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour.

Arthur Balfour stated directly to C.G. Dawes that Britain was "prepared to renounce all future rights to reparations from Germany and all claims to the payment of war debts. As long as this renunciation becomes an important issue that can be resolved as

It is dealt with as a whole - part of the master plan."

The implication of Arthur Balfour is that Britain can give up Germany's compensation, but Britain hopes that the United States will also give up.

In other words, even if I don’t want it, you don’t want it either.
