Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The customization business of Southern African shipyards used to be mainly for the private sector, such as customizing yachts for wealthy people. As long as the price is affordable, battleships can be converted into private yachts.

Now that we have opened up a new business, the profit from customization is still relatively high. The total profit from the four German transport ships can reach more than 15 million rand.

Albert Kesselring was smart and wanted to take advantage of the competition between Walvis Bay and Edwards Shipyards to lower prices.

However, Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edvard Shipyard were smarter and did not give Albert Kesselring a chance to negotiate the price.

Such a large order cannot be settled in a short time. The delivery cycle is calculated on an annual basis, so you have to take your time.

After fully understanding the "transport ship", Albert Kesselring began to inquire about the specific performance of the "transport ship" in an attempt to obtain more information.

Wang Wenyuan and Samson immediately became silent and refused to say a word.

Albert Kesselring left the office with a heavy heart.

The technical content of "transport ships" is actually not very high. Even the Japanese can tinker with building their own aircraft carriers, and so can the Germans.

The key is cost.

The prices quoted by Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edward Shipyard are lower than the costs of German shipyards. You must know that the salary of workers in Southern Africa is far higher than that of German workers, so Albert Kesselring is also confused.

How to reduce costs to this extent.

Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edward Shipyard must make money, so such a low quotation means that the cost of the Southern African shipyards will be even lower.

Looking at the cloudy sky in front of him, Albert Kesselring remained silent.

The future of the German Navy seemed to Albert Kesselring to be as invisible as the sky.

Well, Albert Kesselring was in the Air Force, and the future of the German Navy had nothing to do with Albert Kesselring.

Albert Kesselring could only console himself in this way.

When Albert Kesselring began to contact the two shipyards, the French responded quickly.

Southern Africans are a bit shameless. Before the German ship purchase agreement was reached, a British businessman accidentally revealed the news to the French.

The French government immediately became nervous.

The Germans have begun to pursue aircraft carriers. Is France indifferent?

It's impossible. France has also longed for aircraft carriers for a long time. Just after the World War, the French economy suffered a heavy blow and was unable to build aircraft carriers.

After a few years, the economy finally recovered a little, but then it encountered the Great Depression and continued economic crises for several years.

After all, France still has some foundation. After experiencing a short period of pain, the French economy gradually improved, and the French Navy finally had the money to start building the "Richelieu".

However, "Richelieu" obviously cannot satisfy the ambitions of the French navy. The arrival of "Madagascar" further stimulated the French navy. Now even the Germans are beginning to seek aircraft carriers, and France cannot lag behind.

So, after some time, if France decides to build an aircraft carrier, then the Italians will probably come looking for it, for the same reason as France.

This is the horror of the arms race. As long as the arms race starts, it will definitely end in an irreversible war.

"France also signed the London Naval Treaty and promised not to build new capital ships before 1943. If it wants to build aircraft carriers now," Li Ao was speechless. Before the ink on the London Naval Treaty was dry, the French were ready to tear up the agreement.

It is estimated that the London Naval Treaty will become the shortest-lived treaty.

It was also at this naval meeting that aircraft carriers were ranked alongside battleships for the first time and became the main battleships of various countries. In the past, when we talked about "capital ships", we only referred to battleships, and aircraft carriers were not ranked.

"It is ridiculous to sign such a treaty at this time. It is of no use at all." Leonard Cape invited Li Ao to have dinner at the most luxurious restaurant in Saint-Roch. This restaurant also provides the most standard Western and Chinese food.

, it is definitely not those restaurants outside that are just fake.

Whether a restaurant is pure mainly depends on whether it is authentic, but most people cannot accept this. For example, Li Ao cannot accept the baguette provided by this restaurant.

Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding about bread. They think that bread is sweet, fluffy and soft. They eat it directly after buying it, just like the steamed buns that Chinese people often eat.

In fact, the gap is huge. Authentic French bread is so hard that it can be used as a weapon to kill someone. Moreover, it is salty, not sweet. The way to eat it is just like mutton steamed buns. You have to break it open and soak it in the soup. If you eat it dry, you are just eating it.

The tooth cannot pass through.

There is a reason for this. Europe was very poor before the Industrial Revolution. Most European families could not even afford to repair ovens for baking bread. Usually there was only one mill or public oven in an area, and there was a fee to use the mill and oven.

Tax, this is the origin of the mill tax.

Since there is a tax on baking bread, you have to bake more at one time, the more the better. You can bake it for several months at a time.

So when Europeans bake bread, they try to dry out the moisture in the bread as much as possible so that it can be stored for a long time, hence the baguette.

What needs to be explained here is that Europeans have always relied on bread as their staple food, with very little meat, poultry, eggs, or vegetables. That’s why Mustache promised to fill German tables with bread and milk when he came on stage.

It’s not that a mustache saves trouble, but that in most European families, the diet is just bread and milk, with very few complementary foods.

The UK is developed enough, right? Fish and chips are the national dish. Traditional European bread is okay when it's freshly baked, but becomes extremely hard and unpalatable after it cools down.

During the World War, Britain implemented food rationing for a time, and British cooks invented a war bread with a grain content of up to 76%.

Later, the grain content of war bread was as high as 92%, and it was very dark after baking. Nobles in the rear could eat freshly baked bread, but soldiers on the front line certainly could not.

In order to balance the contradiction, the British government issued a "Bread Order", which stipulated that bread was not allowed to be sold within 12 hours after baking. Since it is hard, then everyone should make it together, and no one should comment.

The richness of food in Southern Africa can be said to be the best in the world. After the land-hungry Chinese came to Southern Africa, they exploded with great creativity. The small bread was also played with by the Southern Africans. If it is salty, it is not delicious.

Adding sugar, sweet things always make people feel happy.

If plain flour doesn't taste good, just beat eggs and butter into the noodles, and add some meat floss when baking. If you get tired of simply baking, you can try frying. Steamed buns can be fried, why not bread?

So after the Chinese came to southern Africa, bread was completely ruined by the Chinese.

The white people in southern Africa are very depressed. After being transformed by Chinese chefs, the bread is no longer bread in the traditional European sense. According to the classification, it should be classified as a dessert after a meal.

However, the bread after the transformation is indeed more delicious. The restaurant Saint-Roch provides this kind of bread after the transformation.

Leonard Capet is a very traditional Frenchman.

Traditional French people naturally cannot accept the fluffy and sweet bread from southern Africa, so Leonard Capet wanted the purest baguette.

"Why do you have to eat this kind of baguette instead of more delicious bread?" Li Ao kindly reminded that the baguette is indeed unpalatable, but the mushroom soup is not bad, and the raw materials used are all fresh and locally produced.

Mushrooms, great taste.

Mushroom soup is a perfect match for baguette. When serving bread in a formal restaurant, a bowl of mushroom soup must be served, mainly for soaking the bread.

Of course, if you insist on eating it, that's fine.

"Only baguettes can represent the spirit of the French, which is hard, tenacious and never compromise!" Leonard Capet said this with no shame. French people think that France is good everywhere.

Li Ao doesn't make excuses. He is stubborn to a certain extent.

"When I was a child, my family was in decline and my life was difficult. At that time, my biggest ideal was to eat baguette every day. Of course, it would be even better if there was milk. Until now, I have never had any feelings for baguette.

It hasn't changed. Even if there are delicacies from the mountains and seas, I will still choose baguette, which can keep me awake enough." Leonard Capet's expression was as usual. His so-called "family poverty" is actually far more ordinary than in France.

People's living conditions are better, otherwise he and Ada would not have the opportunity to receive elite education.

Li Ao doesn't know the experience of Leonard Capet, but such Leonard Capet is still worthy of respect.

"If France wants to build an aircraft carrier, can southern Africa provide some information on the 'city' class aircraft carrier?" Leonard Capet is acting as a lobbyist on behalf of the French government. There is no need to think about the "island" class, which can provide some "city" class aircraft carriers.

"level information is pretty good.

"This is not something I can decide." Li Ao did not overstep his authority. Information about the "City" class aircraft carrier has now begun to flood. The next level of aircraft carrier Japan is considering building is similar to the "City" class.

It can be considered that the Germans made a mistake and did not obtain relevant information about the "Akagi". This is not a bad thing for the Germans.

"Akagi" was transformed from a battleship. At the time of the transformation, more than half of the hull of the "Akagi" was already completed. Therefore, during the transformation, the designers worked hard to add three flight decks to the "Akagi". The topmost

The first floor is used for aircraft take-off and landing, and is used for the recovery of carrier-based aircraft.

The middle deck can be used for small fighter jets to take off. It is only 15 meters long and 17.2 meters wide.

The lower deck is used for larger attack aircraft to take off, and is 56.7 meters long and 23 meters wide.

Probably only the Japanese in the world can design such bizarre shapes.
