Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Ramsay Macdonald came to power under the banner of increasing welfare for the British people. The British government's budget is limited. If the people's welfare is to be increased, military spending can only be reduced.

The British Royal Navy is still dominated by a group of gangsters who are obsessed with giant ships and cannons. If the navy's military spending is cut, the first one to be affected will undoubtedly be the submarine force.

Under such circumstances, if he still wants to purchase ghost submarines, Roger Keyes is probably thinking nonsense.

Regarding the trends in the British political arena, Roger Case was definitely not as accurate as Rock, so it was still okay to dream at this time. Jackson Marshall was also very enthusiastic and took the initiative to introduce the business of Walvis Bay Shipyard to Roger Case.

Manager Nelson Tang.

"——The ghost submarine is indeed an excellent submarine. Even compared with the U-boats equipped by the Germans during the World War, it is even better. After all, the ghost submarine was developed on the basis of the U-boat——

"An occasion like a banquet is definitely indispensable for brokers from major arsenals. In fact, this banquet was sponsored by the Walvis Bay Shipyard. Nelson Tang thought he had caught a big fish.

It's a pity not that, not to mention the fish head hot pot, the hot pot base is not available.

"Wait, you mean, you have the technology to build a U-shaped submarine?" Roger Case was surprised. Chapter 1350 mentioned that the United Kingdom once towed a U-shaped submarine back to the UK for dismantling, but found that the technology was too complicated.

With British technology, even copycats cannot be copied.

This means that if you are asked to copy your homework, you will not be able to copy it.

"Of course, we have almost moved the entire Friedrich Krupp Germania Shipyard to Walvis Bay. For this reason, our Walvis Bay Shipyard has spent a lot of money." Nelson Tang is not afraid of leaking secrets. This information has been disclosed through public channels.

can be found.

"How big?" Roger Keyes couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought of the U-boats towed away by the British.

Probably the British were too confident in their shipbuilding technology, so after the end of the world war, British shipyards were busy grabbing U-shaped submarines, thinking that they could imitate U-shaped submarines.

As a result, the facts gave the arrogant British a hard slap in the face, and you couldn't even copy the answer correctly.

Let’s look at what Southern African companies did after the World War. Southern African companies did not force the German government to ask for compensation, nor did they want Germany’s junk. What Southern Africa wanted were German technicians and various technologies.

material.

As a result, after the world war, southern Africa's manufacturing industry reached a new level.

However, the British shipyard, which is known as the most technologically advanced shipyard in the world, still cannot build U-shaped boats.

"Some food - no, no, no, higher benefits and higher salary, as well as a superior and stable living environment and better career development prospects -" Nelson Tang's next words made Roger Case even more heartbroken.

Don’t listen to what is said next. Roger Case is almost certain that the Walvis Bay Shipyard will relocate the entire Friedrich Krupp Germania Shipyard to Walvis Bay, and the price paid is probably some food.

food!

There are only a few left!

Buying a casket for a pearl is not enough to describe the stupidity of the British shipyards.

He must have lost a cart of watermelons and picked up a sesame seed.

"How much does a ghost submarine cost?" Roger Keyes calmed down. There was no point in holding the relevant personnel accountable at this time. The British Empire had lost too much, so this was not enough.

"The ghost submarine is the most advanced submarine in the world, with a displacement of 950 tons, an endurance of 8,500 nautical miles at a speed of 15 knots on the surface, and a maximum underwater speed of 7.5 knots. It has a total of five 533mm torpedoes, four in the front and one in the back.

With the launch tube, the safe diving depth can reach an astonishing 150 meters -" Nelson Tang gushed when talking about the performance of the ghost submarine.

"Wait a minute, I know that the performance of ghost submarines is very advanced. What I'm asking is how much does a ghost submarine cost." Roger Case was a qualified naval officer, but not a qualified negotiator.

"The best submarine certainly deserves the price it deserves - Rand 500,000!" Nelson Tang finally made the offer before Roger Keyes got angry.

"500,000 is too expensive. The cost of building a U-boat is only 200,000 pounds -" Roger Case was not bargaining, he was just complaining.

A U-boat before the World War cost about 4 million marks, and at that time, 1 pound could be exchanged for 20 marks.

Moreover, because southern Africa employs a large number of African-American workers, everyone knows that the cost of goods is very low.

The rand is now worth more than the pound.

So all things considered, R500,000 is a bit high.

"General, performance is the fundamental factor that determines the price. The ghost submarine with the best performance in the world is worthy of the most powerful Royal Navy of the British Empire in the world -" Nelson Tang spoke with impeccable words,

Almost convinced Roger Keyes.

That's right. When the Royal Navy, which is rich and wealthy, wants to purchase more warships, has it ever considered the price? It's really too cheap and not worthy of the temperament of the Royal Navy.

Roger Case decided to report back later and purchase thirty or fifty ships first.

"How much does a ghost submarine in the Indian Ocean Fleet cost?" Roger Keyes finally thought of Jackson Marshall, who had been left out for a long time.

This question was relatively amateurish. Jackson Marshall hesitated for a long time before he turned red and said, "Sorry General, all equipment for the Indian Ocean Fleet is purchased by the Ministry of National Defense. I don't know the specific price."

Unified purchasing is not fake, but it is very perfunctory if you don’t know the price.

However, the specific price cannot be told to Roger Keyes, otherwise it will deepen the conflict between southern Africa and the British Empire.

But it doesn't matter much. It's not just the ghost submarine that makes Roger Keyes envious. The other equipment of the Indian Ocean Fleet also makes Roger Keyes envious.

It is embarrassing to say that the most powerful navy in the world does not use the most advanced weapons in the world.

For example, the Mediterranean Fleet is also equipped with seaplanes. Unfortunately, the seaplanes of the Mediterranean Fleet, like the sonar installed on warships, are outdated and outdated models.

Another example is the carrier-based aircraft used on aircraft carriers. Although it seems that the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy are no different from the carrier-based aircraft sold to the Royal Navy by Nyasaland Airlines, Roger Keyes always feels that the carrier-based aircraft used by the Indian Ocean Fleet are

Carrier-based aircraft are more flexible and faster than the carrier-based aircraft used by the Royal Navy.

Hope this is an illusion.

Because the first day of the exercise did not complete all the scheduled items, Jackson Marshall and Roger Case decided to adjust the exercise items on the second morning. The Indian Ocean Fleet continued to exercise anti-submarine warfare, but the one playing the role of the Blue Army submarine was replaced by

Ghost submarine of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

This time Roger Keyes finally had an in-depth understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

The anti-submarine warfare of the Indian Ocean Fleet is carried out jointly by destroyers and seaplanes. The seaplanes are responsible for searching, and the destroyers are responsible for using depth charges to attack.

Of course, the attack is also simulated. The criterion for determining victory or defeat is that as long as the approximate location of the submarine is found, the submarine can be judged to have been sunk.

Although the submarine was elusive, it was still nowhere to be found under the joint search of seaplanes and destroyers. After only 25 minutes, the seaplane found the ghost submarine and the mission was successfully completed.

"It doesn't look like the ghost submarine is very powerful -" The commander of the Mediterranean Fleet's destroyer squadron was the famous Admiral Andrew Cunningham during World War II.

Andrew Cunningham's current military rank is only Major General.

"If the ghost submarine is not powerful, then why did the destroyer squadron not find the ghost submarine during yesterday's exercise?" Roger Keyes left no room. Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

"The sonar we equip is too backward. The destroyers of the Indian Ocean Fleet are already equipped with the most advanced active sonar. We are still equipped with passive sonar that can only rely on sonar operators to listen. If we have active sonar -" Andrew Cunningham was not convinced.

, I didn’t expect that the Royal Navy of the British Empire would also have backward equipment.

"Don't make excuses for your failure, General Cunningham, the enemy will not let you go just because of your incompetence." Henry Harwood, commander of the 1st Cruiser Squadron, looked serious. He will command the South American Squadron in the future and won the victory.

A great victory at the naval battle of the Río Plata.

"This is not an excuse, but an application to upgrade equipment -" Cunningham was also helpless. Not everyone can defeat aircraft and artillery with millet and rifle.

"Enough gentlemen, now is not the time to complain. We should be grateful that now we are facing southern Africans instead of Germans - the Royal Navy of the British Empire has always been invincible across the sea and is an object of pride for all of us.

, we are also willing to dedicate our lives to the Royal Navy. During this exercise, the Mediterranean Fleet exposed many problems. Next, I hope you will complain less and work harder. The Royal Navy never wins with advanced equipment, but with

Brave and fearless officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy!" Roger Case learned from the painful experience and decided to conduct the most rigorous training in history for the Mediterranean Fleet.

Although Andrew Cunningham and Henry Harwood both have their own little ones, it is undeniable that they are both excellent soldiers.

While Roger Keyes spoke, Andrew Cunningham and Henry Harwood stood erect, their eyes focused and firm.

As soon as Roger Keyes finished speaking, Andrew Cunningham and Henry Harwood stood at attention and saluted at the same time. Practice it. The Royal Navy has pride, not arrogance.

According to the setting of the command headquarters, the exercise project on the third day is beach landing. This time the Indian Ocean Fleet has come up with a new weapon, an amphibious landing ship.

Amphibious landing ships are also called tank landing ships. You will know what it means just by looking at the name. Amphibious landing ships can not only carry aircraft, but also tanks, especially amphibious tanks.

Another space-time amphibious landing ship reached its peak during World War II. In the Normandy landing battle, the amphibious landing ship stole the show and played an important role.

It was still 1923. When he saw the amphibious landing ship equipped by the Indian Ocean Fleet, even Roger Case, who claimed to be well-informed, couldn't help but wonder, what the hell is this?
