Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The next day is the Lantern Festival, and with the preview of the Nyasaland Spring Festival, Pretoria has also joined the ranks of celebrating the Lantern Festival.

The investigation team was divided into two groups on this day, one part went to Nyasaland Aviation Headquarters in Los Angeles, and the other part stayed in Pretoria.

Rock also failed to return to Los Angeles to participate in the Lantern Festival celebrations because he had to cooperate with the investigation team's investigation.

There are still many celebrations in Pretoria. In addition to making lanterns, the Ministry of National Defense also arranged hundreds of lantern riddles for the entertainment of citizens. If you can guess the lantern riddles correctly, you will get small prizes. The prizes are rich in variety.

There are toys such as kites and windmills, as well as various snacks, and of course the main character of the Lantern Festival - glutinous rice balls.

"Sorry Hubert, the entire Ministry of National Defense is on holiday today. I'm afraid I won't be able to cooperate with your work." Roque really didn't mean to create obstacles. The Southern African Congress is considering dividing traditional Chinese festivals, including the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, with Christmas and Easter.

It is also designated as a legal holiday in Southern Africa.

"Does the Ministry of National Defense also have a holiday?" Hubert Gough was surprised. Even on Christmas and Easter, it is impossible for some important departments to be closed. On the contrary, they will be busier than usual.

Roque smiled and said nothing. The only ones that did not have holidays in Southern Africa were police stations and hospitals. The Ministry of National Defense did not care. No country around Southern Africa dared to cause trouble in Southern Africa.

Just kidding, if Southern Africa doesn't cause trouble to neighboring countries, the neighboring countries will be thankful.

Hubert Gough felt Rock's strong confidence from his smile, and then he felt even more depressed.

I can't help but feel depressed. Compared with southern Africa, the environment in the UK is relatively harsh.

Although the British Isles are also isolated from the European continent, the pressure on national defense is still very serious. The War Department is in a state of combat readiness all year round. Otherwise, the Royal Air Force would not cooperate with southern Africa to produce combat aircraft.

Compared with the British mainland, Southern Africa is too easy. There is no national defense pressure. It is vast and sparsely populated with luxuriant resources. The climate is warm and pleasant, and there is no smog in winter. Now Hubert Gough finally understands why some British people

In winter, I go all the way to southern Africa for vacation.

Look at the beautiful urban construction of Pretoria, look at the clear blue sky, and breathe in the fresh and sweet air, just say it smells good or not!

Pretoria is a garden city, and the bigster trees all over the city have just finished their flowering season. The "sweetness" here is really not an irony.

To Hubert Gough's surprise, Pretorians seemed not to be afraid of southern African soldiers.

Not long after the red lantern with the riddles was hung up, some citizens came over to guess the riddles and ask for small gifts. A little girl couldn't even guess three riddles correctly, and looked frustrated and looked like she was about to cry.

The female soldier who was busy distributing small gifts noticed the little girl and gave the little girl a huge marshmallow as an encouragement reward.

The little girl broke down in tears and laughed. The lady holding the child and the female soldier laughed together. The scene was extremely harmonious.

The Ministry of National Defense is indeed fully prepared. It has hired more than a dozen chefs from many restaurants in the city to make snacks for citizens on site. There are more than a dozen large pots for cooking glutinous rice balls. If you guess a lantern riddle correctly, you can get three

Tangyuan reward.

The more Hubert Gough looked at it, the more silent he became. The cold figures on the financial report were definitely not as profound as seeing the smiles on people's faces. In the past, Hubert Gough only knew that people in southern Africa lived a prosperous life, but he did not know that life was rich.

To what extent, Hubert Gough came to Pretoria to have a true understanding of "life in abundance".

"What a beautiful city. I like to lean on the railings and look out at it. I feel an incomparable sense of satisfaction." Rock also expressed great comfort. Only at this time did Rock feel that his existence was valuable.

"Yes, it is indeed a sense of accomplishment to watch the city continue to extend on the ground below." Hubert Gough echoed, and the scene in front of him could not be seen in the UK.

Britain is actually very wealthy. Although it has experienced the depletion of the world war, its accumulation over hundreds of years cannot be underestimated.

However, the wealth in the UK lies with dignitaries and emerging capitalists, and has little to do with ordinary British people.

Just like the public education that has been implemented in the UK for decades, there are still child laborers in sweatshops. Those who are eligible for education must at least come from middle-class families, and people at the bottom basically have no chance.

Southern Africa is different. In the five-year plan just proposed by the Southern African federal government, Southern Africa regards "literacy" as the main task of federal governments at all levels in the next five years. Literacy here is not only for minors, but also for adults.

It is also within the scope of literacy.

"Marshal, the War Department is in a very difficult situation right now -" Hubert Gough's words were also very difficult.

Rock didn't say anything. It was certainly difficult for the British War Department, but it was also not easy for the Southern African Ministry of Defense. If it didn't rely on refurbished aircraft for sale, the Southern African Air Force would have to wait slowly if it wanted to change its equipment.

"His Majesty and the Prime Minister's Office attach great importance to this fraud case. His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation. Anyone involved in the case must pay a price." Hubert Gough reminded quietly that if the investigation team really found something, Hubert would

·Goff will definitely show no mercy.

"I know -" Rock smiled faintly. Even if something was really found out, the British government could only deal with those responsible for the Air Force. If it wanted to deal with Nyasaland Airlines, it would have to depend on Rock's consent.

While Hubert Gough and Rock were going back and forth, the investigation team heading to Nyasaland also encountered trouble.

The investigation team was jointly organized by the British government and the British War Department. The official who led the team to Nyasaland was the Under-Secretary of the Colonial Affairs Department, Hendrix.

Before the investigation team even left Pretoria, serious disagreements arose within the team.

From Pretoria to Los Angeles, now in addition to trains, you can also choose to fly.

If you take the train, it takes about three days and three nights to get from Pretoria to Los Angeles.

It’s much faster to fly, it only takes four hours to reach Los Angeles from Pretoria via Salisbury.

Hendrix prefers to fly so he can get to Los Angeles as soon as possible to start work.

However, some members of the investigation team wanted to take the train because flying was not safe enough.

"Gentlemen, our aircraft uses four engines, and its safety is absolutely guaranteed. There was a precedent of two engines on one side stalling, and the aircraft still returned safely." The accompanying official sent by the federal government was Herma, an official from the Ministry of Justice.

Nus.

"What if all four engines stall?" insisted Upington, a Home Office official from Yorkshire. He was over seventy years old, looked senile, and was still a knight.

"It's basically impossible for this kind of thing to happen -" Hermanus tried to explain how unlucky it must be for all four engines to fail at the same time.

After the Lourenço Marquez air crash, Nyasaland Airlines and Rhodesia Airways implemented stricter safety standards. All aircraft must undergo detailed inspections after landing before they can fly again, and pilots are also subject to stricter assessments.

You must receive relevant qualification certification every year before you can continue flying.

For airport ground staff, airports in various places have also introduced stricter regulations. Ground staff, like crew members, must also undergo regular assessments. If they fail to pass the test, they must receive training. If they fail the second time, they will be transferred directly.

So far, there has only been one air crash in southern Africa. Compared with railways and roads, airplanes are actually a safer means of transportation.

"Nothing is impossible. Even if there is a one in 10,000 chance, I don't want to take risks. Aren't the comfortable soft sleepers on the train more comfortable than the seats on the plane?" Upington is probably here for tourism, and

Not here to work.

Hermanus was completely at a loss and turned to look at Hendrix.

Hendrix also looked helpless.

"Then we make our own choice, whether to take a plane or a train." Hendricks chose to use a democratic method to solve the problem.

Hermanus looked like he had seen a ghost. How could this kind of thing be handled like this?

What a great experience!

"I'll take the train!" Upington immediately raised his hand.

"I'm flying -"

"I'll take the train too—"

"Can't we just drive there?"

Hermanus now understood why the British Empire was so inefficient.

"It can only be a plane or a train!" Hendrix was confused.

Then, after the investigation team was divided into two groups, it was divided into two groups again——

Hermanus was an eye-opener.

Four hours later, Hermanus and Hendrix arrived in Los Angeles successfully.

A vehicle sent by Nyasaland Airlines was waiting to be picked up at the airport. The driver was a young and handsome Chinese guy. Hendricks sat directly next to the driver and chatted casually with the guy.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm at work." The younger brother was in a dilemma. He could chat, but not while driving.

"Isn't it your job to serve the investigation team?" Hendricks did not have the safety awareness of his younger brother.

"Sorry sir, my job is to take you to the hotel. The Nyasaland State Government has expressly stipulated that for the safety of passengers, drivers are prohibited from chatting while driving." The little brother is still very polite and now "drives"

This word has not been broken yet.

What a pure age.

"Why is there such a regulation?" Hendricks was surprised. The UK did not have such detailed regulations.

Hermanus helplessly spread his hands, these are all lessons learned from blood and tears.

In fact, the UK is relatively strict in terms of legal system. As early as 1861, the British government promulgated the Highway Motor Vehicles Act. In 1865, the British government enacted the more stringent "Red Flag Law".

It is incredible that in the Highway Motor Vehicle Law, the maximum speed of cars is 16 kilometers per hour, but the Red Flag Law enacted four years later limited the maximum speed of cars to 6.4 kilometers per hour.

Normal walking speed for adults is about 5 to 8 kilometers per hour. If you walk faster, it can reach 10 kilometers per hour.
