Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Legally speaking, Said did not occupy Theodosius's legitimacy. The Ottoman Empire was over, and no one except Said missed it.

To be precise, what Said missed was not the Ottoman Empire, but the power and glory that the Ottoman Empire gave him.

Arthur will not hand over Theodosius to anyone easily. Even if Theodosius is just a little game played by Xiaosi, it still belongs to Xiaosi. Unless Xiaosi is willing to give Theodosius to Said, otherwise

Theodosius was on the other side of the strait, and Said could not snatch it.

There is no way to grab it. There are now more than 20,000 people in Asia Minor in Theodosius. Although they are mainly women and children, there are also more and more men. More and more people are coming here, hoping to live in Theodosius.

Restore a stable and peaceful life.

So when the news spread that the French wanted to take back Theodosius, the entire Theodosius was in a state of excitement.

This time no one needed to be mobilized, everyone took the initiative to pick up their guns and defend the peace of Theodosius with their lives.

"The people's support can be used." Charlie stood on the balcony of the office, looking at the angry people of Asia Minor on the beach not far away with joy.

Theodosius had a total of 800 mercenaries. Even with three heads and six arms, it was impossible to unify the Asia Minor peninsula, so the people of Asia Minor still had to be mobilized. This was originally planned.

According to Stoudemire's idea, after the mercenaries conquered a territory, they could use the mercenaries as the backbone to recruit people from Asia Minor to form an army, and then sweep across the Asia Minor peninsula.

Before this plan could be implemented, Stoudemire was called away by Rock.

"That's useless. The next time the French come, it might be the French navy, and we won't be able to compete." Sisi, who had just returned from Port Elizabeth, lamented that Theodosius could not be saved.

Theodosius is a coastal city. No matter how incompetent the French navy is, it will be a piece of cake to deal with Theodosius, who has no navy. After all, Theodosius doesn't even have artillery, and the French navy can stay at a safe distance.

In addition, the entire Theodosius was destroyed with artillery.

"Can you contact the Mediterranean Squadron?" Charlie hoped that the Mediterranean Squadron could intervene.

"For what reason?" Sisi also thought, but unfortunately there was little hope.

Not only did the Southern African Mediterranean Squadron have no reason to intervene, Theodosius also had no reason to request the Mediterranean Squadron to intervene. After all, on the surface, Theodosius had nothing to do with Southern Africa, and the Mediterranean Fleet was not an employee of the Umbrella Company.

Soldiers cannot reach out everywhere.

"There are submarines in the Mediterranean Squadron" Charlie probably wanted to recreate the scene when the French army returned to Madagascar.

Sisi shook his head slightly. The Mediterranean Sea is not the Indian Ocean. This is the home base of the French. There are French spies everywhere. The Mediterranean Squadron is definitely under close surveillance by France, and the submarine force is of no use.

So you still have to rely on yourself.

"Get ready. Let's abandon Theodosius and retreat to the inland areas. If the French destroy Theodosius, forget it. If the French want to occupy Theodosius, haha." Sisi sneered. The former "No. 1 in the world"

The "Army" was brought back to its original shape during the World War. The French could destroy Theodosius at sea. Once ashore, they would be taught by the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company.

"With so many people, most of them women and children, how can we evacuate?" Charlie was very sad, and his inner resentment towards the French had reached the sky.

"Send them to Marlborough or Cyprus. We are leaving too. You shouldn't choose to stay in Asia Minor?" Sisi didn't have the consciousness to live and die with Theodosius. Why?

Charlie and Sisi were the agents who were pushed back to the stage by Stoudemire. They themselves had no feelings for Asia Minor and the Ottomans. They could think of sending women and children to a safe place, which was considered worthy of their own conscience.

"Isn't this good? We have spent more than two million rand and just walk away like this." Charlie hesitated. The mercenaries had been paid for a whole year.

"It's not us who spent it." Sisi didn't feel any burden because he didn't spend the money himself.

Then leave, and not only Charlie and Sisi have to leave, but also the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. Don't forget that the principle of the Umbrella Company is not to interfere in disputes between major powers.

The French are not stupid. They know the relationship between the Umbrella Company and southern Africa. Therefore, after Charlie rejected the French request, the French government made a request to the Umbrella Company and required all the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to withdraw within a month.

French Mandate.

This request is reasonable and reasonable, and the umbrella company has no reason to refuse. If it breaks the contract, then it is a breach of contract. This is a force majeure. Anyway, the money will definitely not be refunded. Xiaosi probably will not go after the umbrella company to ask for it.

For Umbrella, the decision to withdraw from Asia Minor was an easy one.

But for those people in Asia Minor who had just seen hope, this result was a bolt from the blue. They had just seen a little hope in life, and they were ruthlessly destroyed by the French. They pinned their hopes on others. This is the result, and they may be abandoned at any time.

.

In Monrovia, the bargaining between Roque and Roosevelt continued.

There were still huge differences, but both Rock and Roosevelt were very sensible people who sought common ground while reserving differences, so more and more results were achieved.

The first thing reached was a cooperation agreement. Rock and Roosevelt quickly reached an agreement on resources, trade, technology, culture and other aspects between southern Africa and the United States. Morgan Jr. and John Jr. played a big role in this process, especially

It's in the oil field.

Adan Company and Rockefeller were the first to reach a cooperation agreement. Rockefeller would transfer all its business in Europe to Adan Company, and Adan Company would hand over all its business in the United States to Rockefeller.

It is not an exchange. Adan Company can still obtain profits from the US market, but all business channels must be transferred to Rockefeller.

Rockefeller paid all his business in Europe for this, and was forced to sign an alliance under the city.

In this way, Adan Company still suffered serious losses on its books and was on the verge of bankruptcy. How strange!

Then there is aid to Germany.

Rock and Roosevelt did not talk about the colonial system jointly established by Britain and France, but they still had a tacit understanding. In the past, southern Africa had to monopolize the Commonwealth market, and there was not much demand in this regard.

Now that Southern Africa has separated from the Commonwealth, seeking a larger market has become the consensus of Southern Africa and the United States. Germany is the best breakthrough point. Although Rock and Roosevelt did not say it, they were both clear-minded.

Finally, there is military cooperation.

During the World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force fought side by side with the US military. The US military was impressed by the combat effectiveness of the southern African army, and southern Africa was deeply impressed by the fighting will of the US military.

Rock didn't even expect that in another time and space, the U.S. military, which relied entirely on weapons generation to win, would actually use the human wave tactic to charge the Sunset Fortress during the World War. Even though they suffered heavy losses, they continued to attack the Sunset Fortress.

One after another!

This term is inappropriate even when used in the U.S. military.

Until now, the Southern African Navy and the U.S. Navy have only had some cooperation in Southeast Asia. In the Atlantic Ocean, the Southern African Navy and the U.S. Navy both regard each other as the target of exercises.

Confrontation does exist. New York is very close to Halifax, so there are many opportunities for the U.S. Navy and the Southern African Atlantic Fleet to interact. Both sides hope to increase their understanding of each other, so they hit it off.

On September 10, three days later than scheduled, Roque and Roosevelt reached an agreement in Monrovia. After the two signed a series of cooperation agreements, they also signed a memorandum, hoping to continue this dialogue model.

Go down.

Also on September 10th, the French returned to Theodosius again. This time it was indeed a fleet, but it may be that the French have accepted the lessons of Madagascar, or the French did not take Theodosius to heart at all.

, so the fleet does not include capital ships.

Even without a capital ship, it is still powerful enough. The French fleet consists of a total of 12 warships, including two heavy cruisers and two light cruisers.

The French indeed had no intention of returning to the Asia Minor Peninsula. After the fleet arrived at Theodosius, the French did not even give an ultimatum and directly bombarded Theodosius.

When the French fleet bombarded Theodosius, the light cruiser "George" of the Southern African Mediterranean Squadron was cruising on the sea not far away.

The "George" light cruiser is a "Durban" class light cruiser that has just entered service. It is a standard treaty-type cruiser with a small displacement, fast speed and moderate firepower. It is a rare all-rounder in the navy.

Captain Chen Li of the "George" stood on the bridge, using a telescope to observe the French fleet. Not far away, smoke billowed from Theodosius, the ground was in a mess, and the row houses that had just been built not long ago were burning.

"These bastards, they all deserve to go to hell," first mate Cross muttered to himself, closing his eyes in pain.

Chen Li didn't say anything. In fact, if a group of bombers came over at this time, none of these warships would be able to escape.

It's already 1930, and the French Navy has not modernized its warships. There are very few anti-aircraft weapons on the warships. These old warships can only bully Theodosius, who has no navy. If it is against the Mediterranean Squadron,

On board, the French were sent into the Mediterranean Sea to feed the fish in minutes.

"Captain, the French sent a telegram asking us to leave the combat waters immediately to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." The adjutant hurriedly sent the telegram.

"Misunderstanding? Haha, tell the French that we are on a mission. This is Cyprus, not France." Chen Li is not afraid of misunderstandings. The French navy dares to take action, and Chen Li does not mind accompanying him.

What Chen Li didn't expect was that shortly after the telegram was sent, a French destroyer suddenly broke away from the battle line and headed straight for the "George".

Is this an attempt to actively create misunderstandings?

ps: Sorry, I was a little busy yesterday. I’ll see if I can make up for it today.
