Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

It is only natural that you should get paid for your work.

 The British Empire, which has dominated the world for hundreds of years, will run out of money?

Who would believe it?

Builders may not dare to target the Eastern Fleet and the Lion City, but if the builders and investors behind them cannot get the money, they will target Major General Mars Cooper and Sir Lauren Felix.

Personally, this is something Major General Mars Cooper and Sir Lauren Felix cannot afford, and their careers may be over.

“Neal Benson from Rhodesia Company just came to see me——” At this time, Mars Cooper finally understood what Neil Benson’s smile meant when he left.

 Sell, or not sell, it’s up to Mars Cooper to decide.

 “What does he want to do?” Sir Lauren Felix was surprised.

"The Rhodesian Company wants to buy the Changi Naval Base and develop it into a commercial port, which can be used by the Eastern Fleet." Rear Admiral Mars Cooper's expression and mood were heavy. Changi Naval Base was originally prepared for the Eastern Fleet.

, if it is sold to the Rhodesian Company, it must obtain the permission of the Rhodesian Company to use Changi Naval Base——

 It’s so frustrating, so frustrating!

 But if you don’t do this, how will you get money to give to those greedy vampires?

 At least Major General Mars Cooper really couldn’t think of a way.

“No, Changi Naval Base is prepared for the Eastern Fleet and must not be sold to a commercial company.” Sir Lauren Felix had a bottom line, even if the Rhodesian Company was a southern African enterprise.

The British Empire has its own national conditions. Even if the British government stops the expansion of Changi Naval Base, it will not dispose of Changi Naval Base to a commercial company at a low price.

　To put it bluntly, we would rather all the initial investment of 15 million pounds go to waste, and we must maintain the so-called dignity of the British government and the Royal Navy.

 As for where to get the money to pay the builder?

That is a question for Major General Mars Cooper and Sir Laurence Felix.

 As for whether this will be a waste of national assets?

Who cares--

  Ramsay Macdonald himself doesn’t make a fortune anyway.

“What should we do? Give the Changi Naval Base to the Rhodesian Company to complete the expansion project. At least the Eastern Fleet can get a safer home port.” Rear Admiral Mars Cooper had his own plan.

 For Major General Mars Cooper and the Eastern Fleet, after Britain terminated its alliance with Japan, the Eastern Fleet would face the threat of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

 The overall strength of the Combined Fleet is far from that of the Royal Navy.

However, specifically in the waters of Southeast Asia, the Eastern Fleet cannot pose a threat to the Combined Fleet at all. At this time, the Eastern Fleet needs a safer home port that is further away from the Combined Fleet, so that once the war breaks out, it can win more for the Eastern Fleet.

time.

Although it seems that the risk of a war breaking out between Britain and Japan is not great now, as a soldier, you must take this possibility into consideration.

 Be prepared for danger in times of peace!

"If the expansion of Changi Naval Base is handed over to the Rhodesian Company, then after completion, will Changi Naval Base belong to the Rhodesian Company or the British Empire?" Sir Lauren Felix sometimes said

It would be foolish to ask this question.

 The Rhodesian Company is not a charitable enterprise. Without sufficient benefits, it will definitely not take over the unfinished project of Changi Naval Base.

Since it is an unfinished project, we must be aware of the unfinished project. After the Rhodesian Company completes the construction of the Changi Naval Base, it would be good to allow the Eastern Fleet to use it.

 “How much did the Rhodesian company ask for?” Sir Lauren Felix had to face reality.

“1.5 million pounds.” Major General Mars Cooper smiled sadly. Compared with the initial investment of 15 million pounds, 1.5 million was really a tearful sale.

 To exchange good books, follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and receive cash red envelopes!

Of course, the initial investment of 1,500 does not mean that the value will reach 15 million.

Neither the British government nor the Royal Navy is a fuel-efficient lamp. From the establishment of the project to the start of construction, the naval base expansion project has gone through many layers of exploitation. In name, the British government has indeed invested 15 million pounds in the expansion of Changi Naval Base.

Only God knows how much money is actually spent on the project.

 As far as the virtues of the Royal Navy are concerned, it would be great if half, that is, 7.5 million, could actually be implemented.

 7.5 million vs. 1.5 million, it looks much better immediately, and it doesn’t seem that miserable.

 “Dream!” Sir Lauren Felix shouted. In Sir Lauren Felix’s view, the price of 1.5 million is almost an insult to the Changi Naval Base.

 Mars Cooper did not say anything. Although this price is low, it is already one of the few offers that are willing to take over the Changi Naval Base.

Although the strategic value of Changi Naval Base is high, it is only for countries that have major interests in the region. For a company, it will cost a lot of money to dock merchant ships at any port just to relay supplies.

There is really no need to spend tens of millions to build a port.

Yes, despite the fact that the British government said 500 million when it started talking, for the Rhodesian Company, the actual investment in a project such as the expansion of Changi Naval Base is probably only tens of millions. The wages of local British workers are higher than those of Africans or

Salaries for locals in the Lion City are much higher.

Regardless of whether the British construction companies use African-American workers or local workers in the Lion City, the budgets they give to the British government are calculated based on the cost of local British workers. This and other factors will result in a large amount of profit.

.

The British government must be aware of this situation, but it cannot delve into it. The question is that the British Empire has its own national conditions.

Furthermore, projects such as the expansion of Changi Naval Base are not a one-time overall quotation, but expenditures are calculated based on workers' working hours.

  In other words, no matter how much work the workers do, they will be paid for each day's work.

This can also explain why a project that could be completed in a few months in southern Africa would take several years in the British Empire.

This is all free money!

Sir Lauren Felix is ​​angry again. Looking back, he has to face the reality. The Lion City needs security, the Eastern Fleet needs a new base, and the builder's fees have to be paid, but the British government has stopped the construction. What do you think?

This is all a dead end.

There are no solutions, and it is undoubtedly the easiest and quickest to urge London to continue funding.

 So Sir Laurent Felix sent a telegram to the mainland, hoping that London would continue to promote the construction of Changi Naval Base.

 Sending such a telegram at a time when Ramsay MacDonald had just shouted for "European disarmament" in front of dozens of League of Nations countries, the results can be imagined.

For three consecutive days, Sir Laurent Felix sent four telegrams to the mainland, but they all fell into the sea without any response.

The builders here don’t care about Sir Lauren Felix’s struggles. Several larger builders queue up at the door of Sir Lauren Felix’s office every day to ask for money. This has become a phenomenon in the Lion City.

A special scene in front of the Governor's Palace.

On the fourth day, things finally turned around. Tang Li took the initiative to visit Sir Lauren Felix at the Governor's Mansion.

“Is there any hope of reactivating the Changi Naval Base?” Tang Li is also very positive. The Southern African Navy is also part of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. The Changi Naval Base has been completed and the Indian Ocean Fleet can also be used.

 Sir Lauren Felix looked ashen and sat helpless behind his desk.

"If possible, the Southern African Navy can continue the expansion project of Changi Naval Base." Tang Li's words surprised Sir Lauren Felix. If the Southern African Navy continues the construction of Changi Naval Base, then after the base is completed,

Still the property of the Royal Navy——

The premise of this conclusion is that the Southern African Navy is part of the Royal Navy.

 Since this premise is established, then the reverse is also true.

"Of course, if our Southern African Navy completes the expansion of Changi Naval Base, then after completion, Changi Naval Base will be the property of our Southern African Navy." Tang Li's next words added Lauren Felix.

Jazz hit the abyss.

Also, the Rhodesian Company is not a charitable enterprise, and the Southern African Navy is not a charity.

 “Is it okay to have the right to use it?” Sir Lauren Felix frowned.

"Haha, even if we don't take over, after the naval base is built, we still have the right to use it." Tang Li looked sincere. Since the Southern African Navy can use the Royal Navy's base, then of course the Royal Navy can also use the Southern African Navy's base.

.

However, this result is not a good thing for the Lion City, because Tang Li did not promise to take over the Changi Naval Base and also take over the debts related to the Changi Naval Base.

The naval base in Nima has not yet been built, but debts have already been incurred.

"When we take over Changi Naval Base, we will also take over the debts related to the naval base. However, one thing is that if our Southern African Navy takes over Changi Naval Base, all previous construction contracts related to Changi Naval Base must be cancelled.

." Tang Li has a bottom line, and the Southern African Navy will definitely not be taken advantage of.

“Haha, do you think those builders would agree?” Sir Lauren Felix hated those builders. If those builders hadn’t been pressing harder, Changi Naval Base would not have been put up for sale.

"Of course they will agree. Apart from our Southern African Navy, is there anyone else willing to take over the Changi Naval Base?" Tang Liarong said, if the British government lets the wind go, there will be many other companies willing to take over the Changi Naval Base, and nothing else.

He said that the Americans, French and Japanese would all be willing to take over, but unfortunately the British government would not agree.

Owning Changi Naval Base is equivalent to having control of most of the Strait of Malacca. If Ramsay MacDonald dares to sell Changi Naval Base to other countries outside the Commonwealth, the Royal Navy will probably rebel.
