Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1559 What a pity
After the end of the World War, the rapid-fire artillery represented by the French "Miss 75" was completely abandoned, replaced by the long-range, powerful artillery represented by Krupp, which relied on vehicle-mounted towing.
The current range of rockets in southern Africa is 3.5 kilometers. With the advancement of technology, the range and power will gradually increase.
In southern Africa, there are multiple teams responsible for rocket research. There is Robert Goddard's team in Nyasaland, there is a team from Nyasaland Military Industry in Milner City, and the Diesel Laboratory in Port Edward is responsible for part of the rocket.
Nyasaland Aviation is responsible for the aerodynamic system of the rocket, and Nyasaland Heavy Industries has modified the chassis of the "Leopard" tank to serve as a transport vehicle for the rocket. Others such as rail beds, gun mounts, and turntables,
The chassis, aiming device, launching device, etc. are all handled by a professional team.
So there are some things that you really can’t copy at a glance. Third Brother’s Arjun tank is a good example. If you don’t have enough technical level to give you the best parts, you can’t integrate them together.
When the helicopter formation appeared above the square, everyone's emotions reached a climax.
This is the first time that an armed helicopter has appeared in front of the public. Considering safety factors, the rocket launcher nest mounted on the short wings of the armed helicopter is not filled with rockets. Stanley Baldwin does not know the function of the rocket launcher nest yet. See
When we arrived at the armed helicopter, I couldn't help but pick up the binoculars and watch.
Roque didn’t explain. What he was most worried about at the moment was that if a helicopter malfunctioned and had to make an emergency landing, the federal government would lose all face.
This is not unheard of. During the French military parade last year, a Renault tank broke down in full view of the public and was parked on the parade ground unable to move. The French army finally had to dispatch three trailers to drag the broken down Renault tank away.
The incident directly led to the resignation of the French Minister of War.
Happily for Southern Africa, all vehicles performed well during the review and no mistakes were made. This is attributed to Southern Africa’s reliable technology and perfect logistics and maintenance.
“How much does an armed helicopter cost?” Stanley Baldwin was itching. There must be reports about armed helicopters within the British government.
Roark didn’t even need to look at the brochure, and casually quoted the price: “About 15,000 pounds.”
"So expensive?" Stanley Baldwin was disappointed. At 15,000 pounds, the British government couldn't afford it.
Helicopters are not battleships. You can buy dozens or hundreds of them at a time. Due to the virtue of the military industrial enterprises in southern Africa, the price is 15,000 pounds, plus the training costs for pilots and ground crew, spare parts, and even ammunition. Until the last one, you have to spend money.
Thirty thousand is possible.
This does not include the cost of designing and modifying the armed helicopter to adapt to the conditions of the British Empire.
“Haha, it’s not expensive, Lord. Let’s discuss it later.” Ali Rashid is not too expensive.
Stanley Baldwin wants to say bad things, but he doesn’t want to do it just to flatter him. Can you afford it if it’s not expensive?
It is really affordable. If the royal family of Najd wants to buy a helicopter, it will definitely not be for the purpose of equipping troops, but to serve the royal family.
In this case, I can’t buy a few of them. Ten or eight of them can be easily bought.
After all, Najd Petroleum Company still pays the Sultanate of Najd R2 million per year.
“No need to discuss, I’ll give you two fights later.” Luo Ke is generous and never stingy with his own people.
“That’s so embarrassing.” Ali Rashid smiled happily, looking at how he became the boss.
Stanley Baldwin’s mouth moved, but in the end he did not speak.
The Sultanate of Najd can be shameless, but the British Empire cannot do without it. At this moment, Stanley Baldwin hopes that Roque will also take the initiative and give eight crosses to the British Empire.
Regardless of whether the Sultanate of Najd makes some small moves, its relationship with southern Africa is really good.
If it were the British Empire, let alone the Najd Oilfield, the Elizabeth Oilfield would still want to take a bite.
Just after the Second Boer War, the British Empire gave some help to southern Africa.
These help probably stopped completely by 1905. The main reason why the British Empire agreed to autonomy for southern Africa was to get rid of the financial burden of southern Africa.
So let southern Africa feed back the British Empire?
Dream!
After the phalanx of helicopters passed over the square, the colorful smoke pulled out had not completely disappeared, and the phalanx of fighter jets passed by at high speed from high altitude.
In addition to fighter jets, there are also four-engine long-range bombers and big-bellied military transport aircraft.
Stanley Baldwin finally found some balance. Southern Africa has used all its cards this time. These types of aircraft are now also available in the UK.
Roark would certainly not have told Stanley Baldwin that military transport aircraft in southern Africa could not only be used to transport military supplies, but also to transport paratroopers.
Sorry, in 1926, only southern Africa in the world had paratroopers.
The history of paratroopers is actually quite long. During the World War in 1918, W. Mitchell of the United States proposed the idea of using a bomber group to parachute an infantry division behind the German front to carry out attacks.
Unfortunately, due to the conditions at the time, this idea could not be implemented.
After the end of the world war, various countries began to research bombers, transport aircraft, and parachutes, and Southern Africa was also at the forefront of the world in this regard.
The military parade ended with the majestic "March of the Expeditionary Force", and the final chorus of 100,000 people made even Stanley Baldwin feel excited.
Compared with "March of the Expeditionary Forces", "God Save the King" sounds like a dirge.
After the military parade, Roque held a banquet in the Palace of Justice to entertain the heads of state from afar.
The square in front of the Palace of Justice was very lively and people were reluctant to leave for a long time. There was also a fireworks show at night.
Johannesburg Food Company seized the opportunity and brought dozens of trucks of food and drinks for people to eat for free.
This advertisement is well done. The business of Johannesburg Food Company partly overlaps with that of Rhodesia Company. Rhodesia Company is mainly engaged in bulk food business, while Johannesburg Food Company is mainly engaged in fast-moving consumer goods, such as biscuits, drinks and so on.
The charity foundation under Phyllis’ name was not absent either. There were many charity foundation volunteers in uniform uniforms on the square, reminding people to pay attention to safety, protect the environment, and not throw away garbage at will, etc.
The police are the most conscientious. A gathering of 100,000 people can cause serious consequences if they are not careful. The square is divided into countless areas by guardrails and cordons. Firefighters and ambulances are ready. The Rifle Association seizes the opportunity to distribute leaflets and appeal.
People take their handguns to the Rifle Association and get them replaced with more powerful shotguns for free.
The Palace of Justice was also very lively. In 1926, there were more than 60 countries in the world, including 16 members of the Commonwealth and the Southern African Union. This was a powerful force that could change the world.
In the banquet hall, the members of the Southern African Union were obviously centered on Roque, while the members of the Commonwealth were centered on Stanley Baldwin.
"Our most important task now is to develop the economy. Many conflicts are caused by economic reasons. If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, then many conflicts will be easily solved. Don't always focus on plunder and war, and explore more from yourself.
Africa is vast and rich with potential. As long as we make full use of our own advantages, we can have a bright future." Roque seized the opportunity to give the leaders of the alliance member states around him some blood. This was mainly meant for Mumu and Benson Mu.
Listen.
Mumu is the king of the Kingdom of Kongo.
Benson Moore is the President of the Republic of Congo.
Neither Mumu nor Benson Moore spoke. If they had any opinions, they couldn't say them now. They could mention them to Rock privately tomorrow.
"After the New Year, Southern Africa will start a new round of large-scale infrastructure construction. The development of the Congo River and the Nejd Oilfield is also on the agenda. In short, there are opportunities." Roque also has to give some benefits appropriately, and the boss must behave like a boss.
.
“Lord, don’t forget West Africa.” West African President Anthony Bowman is pitiful. The crying child needs milk.
West Africa has a serious lack of presence in the Southern African Union. This is actually not Roque’s problem. Anthony Bowman does not have great ideals. West Africa usually relies on selling resources and exporting labor to Southern Africa in order to eke out a living.
.
Of course, West Africa also has demands. Everyone knows that launching large-scale infrastructure construction in southern Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this time, you don’t know when the next time will be. West Africa also wants to take a ride.
"Of course not. You go back and write a report and submit it to the Southern African Union for discussion. Our goal is for everyone to live happily and live in peace," Roque said in a high-profile tone. This pursuit is much higher than that of the League of Nations.
Across the banquet hall, Stanley Baldwin was also trying to cheer up the leaders of the Commonwealth member states.
"We united and worked together to fight the enemy and win the world war. The British Empire is at an unprecedented level of strength." Stanley Baldwin is really not bragging. After Southern Africa successively annexed Southwest Africa, Tanganyika, and Madagascar, nothing else
In other words, purely in terms of territorial area, the British Empire is indeed unprecedentedly powerful.
Of course, this "unprecedented" is based on the premise of the British Commonwealth.
As far as the British Empire is concerned specifically, it depends on the benevolent and the wise.
The hypocrisy of the politicians was evident at this time. Although everyone knew what was going on, when Stanley Baldwin spoke, the leaders of the Commonwealth echoed his words with various expressions of pride.
At this moment, Louis hurried into the banquet hall and reported a regrettable news to Roque in a low voice.
Just now, Haige's condition deteriorated rapidly, doctors failed to save him, and Haige passed away due to illness.
