Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Old Cecil Rhodes played an important role in the expansion of the British Empire in southern Africa, but he did not even get a title until his death. This became an eternal pain in Xiaosi's heart.

Although Stoudemire is now the Earl of Rhodesia in the British Empire, this title was obtained by the British in order to win over southern Africa. To say that Stoudemire is grateful to George V, it is not enough.

The traditional skill of the British Empire is to stir things up. Rock also deliberately arranged George V and Stoudemire together to see if they could create any sparks.

The rehearsal for the opening ceremony was a great success. Roque, Kitchener, Ade, and Philip went to Walvis Bay the next day to greet George V. Roque would definitely accompany George V throughout the whole process.

This is the first time George V has come to southern Africa. When he was a prince, George V had been to Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, but he had never been to southern Africa. This has always made George V regretful.

In fact, it is quite normal. Before 1910, no one would have thought that southern Africa had such development potential.

After George V succeeded to the throne in 1910, it was already difficult for him to go abroad again. This time, southern Africa hosted the Commonwealth Games, which was a rare opportunity.

To be fair, George V was a rare good king. During the World War, in order to unite Britain, he did not hesitate to give up his surname and change the royal family's surname to Windsor, thus gaining the favor of the British.

George V was a people-friendly king. When he was in London, George V often visited schools, hospitals, factories, and farms. When George V discovered that children in London were playing in dirty alleys, George V

The square used by the royal family to hold celebrations is open to the public, which is why George V is so loved by the British.

"His Majesty loves rowing. He once won the championship in a rowing competition with the "British" himself. He also likes hunting. Then you can compete." On the eve of George V's arrival in Walvis Bay, Kitchener and

Rock took the initiative to talk about George V.

Roque is also a good hunter, but he doesn't like the hunting methods of the nobles. He doesn't have time to hunt now. He usually spends time fishing with Kitchinna to relax.

Regarding the race of George V, this is actually easy to understand. After all, George V is the King of England. In a race that he personally participated in, who would dare to run ahead of George V?

Don't think that the British won't flatter others. Just look at how Britain kneels down and licks the United States in the 21st century, and you will know how good the moral integrity of the British is.

"You go ahead, you have nothing to do anyway when you are free -" Luo Ke complained faintly. Kitchina's current lifestyle is just like the overbearing CEO in the TV series. He is busy fishing, walking the dog and playing with the cat every day, and never works.

That's not right, the domineering president still wants to fall in love. Kitchina, a straight man who has never been married in his life, has never tasted love at all.

"I'm not going. I'm going to get sick when I get back to Pretoria. I'm getting old and my health is not good -" Kitchina said boldly, as this disease can come at any time.

Luo Ke can also understand. After all, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and there is Xiaosi anyway.

"There are so many places in Pretoria, why would you place His Majesty in my manor?" Xiaosi was also unhappy. This is not an honor. If something goes wrong, Xiaosi cannot bear the responsibility.

"Then what should we do? Are we going to put His Majesty in the hotel? Don't forget that you are His Majesty's retainer -" Rock threw the blame to Xiaosi, not giving Xiaosi a chance to shirk.

"That's right, it's an honor for your Rhodes family that Your Majesty lives in your home." Kitchina laughed loudly. The old man had a very open-minded attitude and had no idea about wealth.

As the Governor of Southern Africa, if Kitchener wanted to manage money, he would not have many opportunities.

But Kitchina has never had any desire for wealth. He often donates even his salary to various charitable organizations in southern Africa. Wealth is meaningless to Kitchina, and Ade can still leave his wealth to Sidney Mill.

Na, Kitchinna doesn’t even have any relatives around him.

Of course, Ade does not amass wealth either. Even Philip, wealth has lost its meaning to him. Southern Africa is lucky to have these two prime ministers. Otherwise, we don’t know how Southern Africa will develop.

What will become.

Early the next morning, Rock and a group of senior officials from southern Africa got up early and came to the dock to prepare to welcome George V.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the fleet escorting King George V appeared in the outer harbor of Walvis Bay on time.

This time is also calculated accurately. There is a time difference between Walvis Bay and London. When George V comes to southern Africa for the first time, he cannot sneak up on the dock to hold a welcome ceremony in the middle of the night. The morning is the most suitable. The grand welcome ceremony can not only reflect the British Commonwealth's

Prosperity and strength can also reflect the unity of the Commonwealth.

When the huge body of the battlecruiser "HMS Hood" appeared in the outer harbor of Walvis Bay, the entire pier was completely boiling. About 8,000 people came to the pier to welcome George V to southern Africa.

These 8,000 people have passed the strict review of Brad's office before they are eligible to come to the dock.

Don't think that there is no "political review" in the UK. Although the UK does not say so on the surface, in fact the "political review" in the UK is very strict. Even the king has to change his surname when necessary, and the people need not say it.

The battlecruiser "HMS Hood" is currently the largest battleship in the UK, but it is not the most advanced battleship.

After the signing of the "Washington Naval Treaty", the two "Nelson" class battleships built by the British have just been launched and have not yet been delivered to the Royal Navy. They will not officially enter service until next year. Therefore, the Royal Navy can only pull out the "Hood" battleship to replenish the number.

.

Of course, it was not just the HMS Hood. In addition to the HMS Hood, the Royal Navy also sent more than ten warships such as the HMS Warspite, the HMS Warrior, and the HMS Determination to George V.

The world supports the facade.

This can be regarded as a deliberate or unintentional display of muscles. In theory, George V's escort fleet is enough to destroy the Southern African Navy. Compared with George V's escort fleet, the Atlantic Fleet that lined up in the outer harbor of Walvis Bay is indeed a bit shabby.

The two battleships and two aircraft carriers commissioned by the Atlantic Fleet were both performing missions, so the warships lined up waiting for George V's review were only a few light cruisers, heavy cruisers and destroyers. This scene even made Kitchener feel embarrassed.

.

"Don't we have battleships? So much military expenditure for the navy every year, where has it been spent?" Kitchina was very dissatisfied. The Atlantic Fleet showed so little wealth, and his military ethics was obviously not strong enough. He, the governor, had no face.

.

"The Navy spends too much money. It needs to train naval aviation and establish a Marine Corps. What can we do with such a small military expenditure? We can only build some cruisers to make up for it." Rock was very satisfied. He couldn't use the money to build battleships.

, just like the "Hood", apart from giving face to George V, it actually had no use.

When the "Hood" was built, the World War was already over and there was no time to participate.

Nowadays, the navy's combat methods have undergone tremendous changes. The "giant ship and cannon" doctrine is no longer suitable for the current situation. When the Atlantic Fleet was established, there were only two heavy cruisers and six light cruisers, plus a dozen destroyers. Now I don't know.

Unexpectedly, there are already 12 heavy cruisers, which is enough to protect the interests of southern Africa.

"Then let Congress allocate funds to the Navy -" Kitchina was not satisfied with Rock's explanation. If it were Ade or Philip, it might be a bit troublesome to ask Congress to allocate funds. Rock does not exist.

The Speaker of the Southern African Congress is still Barker. Needless to say, his relationship with Roque is like a family. Roque’s need for additional budget from Congress is just a phone call away.

The Ministry of Finance will not create difficulties for Roque. There is no need to elaborate on the relationship between Ada and Roque. Ada may not be willing to let Ada use her private property to subsidize the federal government, but if you change the wording, it should be changed to

Ada will definitely support Roark without saying a word.

"There are too many places to spend money. In addition to the navy, there are also the army and the air force. We can't spend all the money on military construction, education, medical care, infrastructure, and public works. Plus the droughts and floods in the past two years, which one is not necessary?

Money——" Roque blocked the loophole in advance and did not give George V a chance to defeat him.

This cannot be ignored. The economy of the British Empire has continued to be depressed in recent years, and it also coincides with a coal workers' strike. George V came to southern Africa at this time, and he might have wanted to collect some IQ tax.

Roque's attitude is very simple. Southern Africa will definitely not shirk the obligations that Southern Africa should bear. Southern Africa should not pay for it, and don't try to force Southern Africa with moral kidnapping or political correctness.

Don't follow this set of rules.

It is said that George V also attached great importance to military construction. In recent years, large-scale disarmament has been popular in Europe, especially after Ramsay Macdonald promised in the League of Nations that Britain would lead by example. The domestic situation in the United Kingdom is complicated, and some people even suggested that the Royal Air Force should be disbanded.

George V agreed to disarmament, but firmly opposed the disbandment of the Royal Air Force. In order to raise more funds, George V took the initiative to reduce the royal family's expenses. He even gave up drinking to set aside more military expenses for the Royal Air Force.

At this time, the cruise ship on which King George V was riding slowly sailed into Walvis Bay Port, and there was a loud roar of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers on the pier——

No, the military band should have played "God Save the King" immediately, and the forts in the outer harbor also started firing salutes.

In appearance, George V looks similar to Nicholas II. They are cousins. George V's mother is a biological sister to Nicholas II's mother.

Now George V is dressed in military uniform and a navy dress, standing on the side of the cruise ship, waving slowly to the welcoming crowd on the pier.

Rock and Kitchina were also in military uniforms. Kitchina still wore the British marshal's dress during the World War, while Rock wore the southern African marshal's dress.

Britain really needs some martial spirit now.
