Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Looking at it this way, the Royal Navy was just teasing the waiters in Cyprus, which is really childish and not worth mentioning at all.

 The Royal Navy in Halong Bay is the true face of the Royal Navy.

 Verify your identity?

  No need, if the Royal Navy says you are a pirate, you are a pirate.

　Justice?

 It is even more unnecessary. If the Royal Navy says you are guilty, then you are guilty.

This is just the beginning. Next, the Eastern Fleet actually demonstrated what a "Royal Navy-style" anti-piracy is.

The terrain in Halong Bay is complex. The drafts of the "St. George" and the "Hawkins" are about 7 meters and cannot go deep, so they can only carry out long-distance strikes.

 As a result, the villages along Halong Bay were in bad luck.

It has to be said that the Royal Navy's artillery technology is still good, and the power of the 7.5-inch main gun is also good. The Royal Navy is indeed wealthy and has scattered villages built on the mountains, even if there are only a dozen households, "Hawkins"

No one was spared, and he wished he could plow all the targets with artillery fire.

"Won't you join? This is a rare opportunity -" Major William Bray, the liaison officer of the Eastern Fleet, warmly invited him. With this surname, he was born to be a soldier.

Major William Bray was a loyal fan of East India coffee. The coffee provided by the "St. George" was brought from southern Africa. William Bray didn't like it, so he brought a large bag with him when he came to the "St. George"

East Indian coffee.

William Bray was still very generous and willing to share, so the bridge of the "St. George" was filled with the strong aroma of coffee, which made Tang Li helpless.

Tang Li really can’t understand white people’s enthusiasm for coffee.

 As a Chinese, Tang Li still hopes to drink tea.

And if you drink coffee, just drink coffee, and you also like the weird ones, such as the cat poop coffee that made William Bray obsessed. The name is disgusting enough.

"No need, we are ready to send ground troops -" Tang Li did not want to waste the life of the main gun on such a target. The Southern African Navy was not as wealthy as the Royal Navy.

 It does not kill innocent people indiscriminately like the Royal Navy.

Perhaps there are indeed pirates in these villages, but such indiscriminate bombardment is not in line with the habits of the southern African navy.

Tang Li was not pedantic. Looking at the burning villages on the shore, Tang Li did not feel happy.

Decades ago, the British and French allied forces used strong ships and cannons to open the gates of the Qing Empire. This scene before our eyes was frequently played out along the long coastline of the Qing Empire.

If the opponent is a pirate like Walter Drake, Tang Li guarantees that the performance of the Indian Ocean Fleet will be more cruel than that of the Eastern Fleet. However, facing these unarmed villagers, Tang Li really cannot give the order to "fire".

"Haha, General, there is no need to send ground troops at all, and there is no legendary pirate treasure. These poor guys have nothing." William Bray was free and easy. He thought that Tang Li sent ground troops to participate in robbery. This kind of thing is probably from the East

The fleet also did a lot of work.

　　 No, you can’t say that. How could the great Royal Navy do such a thing as robbery? It was to completely wipe out the pirates’ lair.

“Wait a minute, don’t we need to completely clear out the pirate lair?” Tang Li still didn’t know the Royal Navy’s process for combating pirates.

 “We have wiped it out very thoroughly——” William Bray said sincerely.

Tang Li looked at the "Hawkins" which was shelling hard.

 If it is only to this extent, it is indeed quite thorough.

Before Tang Li could speak, he saw Oddington shaking his head slightly.

 “What’s wrong?” Tang Li immediately switched to Chinese.

Oddington and William Bray were both frowning.

Oddington frowned because in doing so, he seemed to have little respect for William Bray.

 William Bray frowned because he really didn't know Chinese.

 It’s okay if you don’t know how to speak, so it is still necessary to master one more language.

 Have no money to read novels? I will give you cash or coins, and you can get it for one day only! Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get it for free!

“Perhaps this is the way of the Royal Navy.” Oddington is a white man born in southern Africa and can speak Chinese naturally.

“But if this is the case, those pirates will come back after we leave——” Tang Li wanted to do his best to eliminate evil.

“No, no, no, General, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. You can understand the relationship between the Royal Navy and pirates as symbiosis——” Oddington was polite and did not reveal the Royal Navy’s background.

　　That’s right. If we eradicate the root cause, how can we highlight the value of the Royal Navy?

 It is precisely because of the existence of pirates that the existence of the Eastern Fleet is necessary.

 It is indeed symbiotic.

 Then there is no need to send ground troops.

Of course, "St. George" was not idle. In a relatively secluded harbor, the combined fleet discovered several wooden ships. William Bray swore that these were the pirate fleet.

 A fleet of fishing boats?

Okay, Tang Li finally issued the combat mission, and the "St. George"'s main gun finally began to rotate. About a minute later, the "St. George" finally fired a salvo.

Against fixed targets, even on rough seas, the "St. George" had a good hit rate. The second round of salvos accurately hit the "Pirate Fleet" parked in place, which made the man next to Tang Li

William Bray hesitated to speak.

Tang Li: No matter what William Bray is thinking, the Eastern Fleet wants to support the invaders to respect themselves. That is a matter for the Eastern Fleet and has nothing to do with the Indian Ocean Fleet.

What the Indian Ocean Fleet needs to ensure is the safety of waterways. After this exercise, the Indian Ocean Fleet will join forces with the East India Fleet to start a cruise escort system and thoroughly clean up the surrounding waters.

This task is not easy to complete. After all, the situation around South Asia is too complicated. Britain, France, the United States, and Japan are concentrated in such a small place. Almost all major countries in the world are concentrated. Any slight disturbance will cause a chain reaction in other countries.

 To ensure the safety of the waterway, the cooperation of the Americans and the French is also needed.

 Just as the Indian Ocean Fleet and Eastern Fleet were launching operations, a public opinion offensive against the United States was quietly beginning.

The explosive news that an active-duty military officer turned into a pirate immediately occupied the front pages of all mainstream media around the world.

Especially the European media, which originally disliked the United States, put aside all their usual intrigues at this moment and pointed their fingers at the unprepared U.S. Navy.

In Manila, many reporters gathered in front of the official residence of Leonard Wood, the U.S. Governor in the Philippines. Everyone who entered or left the official residence would face the siege of reporters. As soon as MacArthur got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters.

“General MacArthur, can you talk about Captain Franklin? Is he really a pirate?”

“General, does Captain Franklin’s behavior have anything to do with the US military stationed in the Philippines?”

“How many U.S. troops in the Philippines have ties to pirates, and are there higher-level officials involved?”

MacArthur said nothing. The guards on duty at the gate of the official residence rescued MacArthur from the reporters. MacArthur got rid of the reporters in a panic and quickly entered the official residence.

 Leonard Wood stood behind the curtains on the second-floor balcony, his face livid as he watched the farce in front of the mansion.

The ongoing rebellion in Palawan Island has already disgraced the US military stationed in the Philippines. The US Congress once recalled Leonard Wood to Washington. Leonard Wood finally regained the trust of Congress, but now the US military stationed in the Philippines has erupted again.

A bigger scandal.

 Leonard Wood was also mentally and physically exhausted. For the rebellion in Palawan, Leonard Wood could also blame some unknown forces behind the scenes.

 The U.S. military on active duty actually became pirates, and this responsibility cannot be shied away from.

"Has it been dealt with?" Leonard Wood reacted quickly. After learning about the incident, he immediately ordered MacArthur to deal with it.

“All Filipinos who participated in the robbery have committed suicide out of fear of crime. This is a spontaneous act of the Filipinos and has nothing to do with us.” MacArthur’s handling was simple and crude, and death without evidence was the best way to handle it.

 “Where’s Franklin?” Leonard Wood didn’t care about the fate of the Filipinos, Franklin was the culprit.

"Franklin has been controlled by the Military Police Department. He denies any accusations against him and does not admit any relationship with pirates." MacArthur came to Leonard Wood. At this time, another official left the official residence, and the reporters in front of the official residence again

They were so swarmed that the car door couldn't be opened.

"What's the use of not admitting it? Benjamin Kipling has been imprisoned in the Lion City by Southern Africans. The Rhodesian Company is suing through the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Does Franklin dare to confront Benjamin Kipling?" London

Nader Wood returned to his desk, slapped the table and roared crazily.

It is no longer Franklin’s problem. The Rhodesian Company is deliberately making the matter bigger and letting the whole world know through lawsuits that active-duty officers of the US military have turned into pirates and carried out unscrupulous attacks on merchant ships.

 Not only the U.S. military stationed in the Philippines, but also the U.S. government has been greatly affected by this scandal, and the national image has been greatly affected.

"Damn Rhodesia Company, damn Umbrella, they did it on purpose!" MacArthur was helpless. The U.S. government was powerful, and the federal government of Southern Africa was not weak to be bullied. The Rhodesian Company was the most powerful company in Southern Africa.

One of them, Franklin, was also mad. He had no choice but to rob the Rhodesian company's ship. It would be a shame to die.

"Whether they mean it or not, you have to solve this trouble. If it can't be solved, you and I must take responsibility for this matter." Leonard Wood is facing a catastrophe. Even if this matter ends here, it will still be over.

It has caused irreparable damage to the image of the U.S. government and the U.S. military. After the incident, the U.S. government and the U.S. military will definitely have to settle accounts in the future.

MacArthur did not speak. He was silent for a while and then left angrily.

 That night, Franklin committed suicide in his cell in the Manila Military Police.
