Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The possibility of a cargo ship hitting an oil drilling platform cannot be said to be impossible, but it is also very rare. After all, there are various signal lights on the oil drilling platform. As long as it is not blinded, it should not hit it.

But the reason why this world is wonderful is because of all kinds of accidents that happen.

There have been storms off the coast of Sarawak in the past few days. The cargo ship seriously deviated from the route. In addition, the wind and waves were high at night and it was difficult to see clearly, so it hit the oil drilling platform. Although the cargo ship was not a big deal, the oil drilling platform was unlucky.

Structural damage is difficult to repair, and a professional team must be invited from the United States, which takes at least a month.

The engineers and workers who suffered from food poisoning have not yet recovered, and something like this happened here again. Tsunoda fell ill at the right time, otherwise he would have committed seppuku.

 Rock: It doesn’t matter how unlucky the Japanese are, as long as the Japanese cannot produce oil.

Winston is still in Pretoria. His mission has not been completed. Not only does Southern Africa not agree to return to the Commonwealth, but the gold given to London has also been decreasing, which makes Winston very worried.

 Since the independence of southern Africa, gold given to London has been decreasing, from 120 tons per year at the beginning to less than 60 tons per year now.

As far as Winston knows, the output of the Rand Gold Mine has not only not decreased, but has been steadily increasing. It has increased from about 150 tons per year 20 years ago to 270 tons now. The Southern African Rand is also relying on gold.

With the blessing, it has gradually consolidated its current international status.

 In mid-August, a new gold mine was discovered in Australia.

When Winston learned the news, the mining rights of this gold mine had already been acquired by an Australian company, which made Winston very dissatisfied.

"The gold in the Rand mining area, the oil in Elizabeth, the iron ore in the Pilbara, and now the gold mine in Australia, Locke, when will your appetite be satisfied?" Winston was also helpless. Don't look at southern Africa.

Having left the Commonwealth, London has far less influence on Australia than Pretoria.

There is no other way, the UK is too far away from Australia.

Initially, Australia was a penal colony for British criminals. During the World War, Australia spent all its money and formed the Anzac Corps with New Zealand to go to Europe to participate in the war. After the war, it received nothing. Even the German colony on the island of Guinea was entrusted to the East Indies by the League of Nations.

Since then, Australia has become further and further apart from the United Kingdom.

 The key lies in Britain’s strategic contraction.

 Compared with before the World War, Britain's sphere of influence in East Asia has shrunk, and it has also seriously insufficiently paid attention to Australia.

Australia is a vast and sparsely populated country with only 5.5 million people in 7.69 million square kilometers of land. In recent years, due to the large influx of southern Africans, Australia's population has barely exceeded 10 million.

With this, people cannot form a reliable national defense force. When the strength of the United States and Japan increases sharply, southern Africa becomes the best hope for ensuring Australia's security.

 The most important port of Darwin in northern Australia has been leased to southern Africa for 99 years.

"Winston, you only saw that the Australian company obtained the mining rights for the gold mine, but you don't know how much money and effort the Australian company spent to find this gold mine. When Londoners are drinking afternoon tea, thousands of people in southern Africa

There are many field explorers traveling around the world, and this is a reward for their hard work." Rock said directly, it was impossible to get something for nothing like before.

"What you say makes sense, but after controlling the oil in Elizabeth and the iron ore in the Pilbara and Iron Four Corners, southern Africa has become the target of public criticism. You now have the power to influence the world. This power is terrifying."

Winston spoke bluntly, with a hint of threat in his words.

"Anyone who wants to threaten southern Africa will face the wrath of 100 million southern Africans." Luo Ke is calm and calm, but he has the ability to snatch it.

 This conversation between Rock and Winston took place at the delivery ceremony of the "Madagascar".

 As the first ship of the "Island" class aircraft carrier, the "Madagascar" has received huge attention from the first day of its birth.

The "City" aircraft carrier is originally the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world, and the "Island" class has raised the Southern African Navy's advantage in aircraft carriers to a new level.

With a full load displacement of 33,000 tons, the ship is larger than a G7-level battleship.

The aircraft carrying capacity of 120 aircraft is more than the total number of aircraft in most countries in the world combined.

With a maximum speed of 31 knots, neither battleships nor heavy cruisers can catch up with the "Island" class aircraft carrier. Light cruisers and destroyers can only catch up with them, and even the aircraft carrier guard cannot defeat it.

 Such a sea behemoth, four ships will be built in southern Africa.

When the "Madagascar" was delivered, the second ship "Nyaasaland" and the third ship "Transvaal" had already been launched, the fourth ship "Transvaal" was also undergoing final outfitting, and the following three ships

All can be put into service within the next year.

 After all four "Island" ships are put into service, together with the existing six "City" ships, they will become the most powerful naval aviation force in the world.

Winston looked at the hill-like "Madagascar" in front of him and couldn't say a word. He once again felt the shock when he saw the "Elizabeth" aircraft carrier for the first time.

By coincidence, when Britain was negotiating with Southern Africa to purchase the Elizabeth, the person in charge was Winston, the then British Lord of the Admiralty.

 “Elizabeth” can be sold.

 The "Island" class aircraft carrier is not for sale.

The latest carrier-based aircraft will certainly not be sold either.

“The Germans are building submarines, and their naval strength is becoming more and more powerful.” Winston was more worried about Germany.

 The future threat of southern Africa to the British Empire.

 Germany is now.

 So even if Winston is dissatisfied with the "dominance" of southern Africa, he still has to submit to the overall British strategy.

"The real threat to Germany is the army. The High Seas Fleet has never been an opponent of the Royal Navy. So if the Germans are smarter, they should put all their strength into developing the army instead of the current situation where the navy and the army go hand in hand." Rock is not worried.

As for the threat from Germany, Germany may not be able to launch an attack on the southern African mainland during Rock's lifetime.

 As long as the homeland is not attacked, Rock is confident of defeating any country.

“The strength of the German navy is indeed not very good, but the development of the German navy also gives the Royal Navy the opportunity to ask for more budget.” This is what Winston is really worried about, and the UK is also in a bad debt.

 Rock smiled and said nothing. If Britain wants to get out of the current predicament, it needs the determination to lift the table.

 It is a pity that both the Conservative Party and the Labor Party in the UK lack similar determination and just want to tinker with the current system.

At this time, the military band played the "March of the Expeditionary Force" and the salutes were fired. In order to welcome "Madagascar" into service, the aircraft carrier "Basutolan" specially came to Port Edward from Walvis Bay. It will form a pair with "Madagascar"

The aircraft carrier fleet returns to its home port of Walvis Bay.

All the Indian Ocean Fleet warships in Port Edward also lined up to welcome them, with the battleships "Congo" and "East India" bearing the brunt, followed by "Cape Town", "Bloemfontein", and "Pretorius"

Asia" three aircraft carriers, followed by a large number of cruisers and destroyers, and the latest "dolphin" submarine in southern Africa also appeared for the first time.

After realizing that the performance of the "Ghost" submarine was no longer advanced enough, the Southern African Navy upgraded the "Ghost" submarine.

In the process of upgrading and transformation, more and more new technologies are being applied. After installing more silencer tiles and more powerful engines, the modified submarine has changed its appearance and become a brand new submarine with performance and "ghost"

Compared with submarines, it is a huge improvement.

 In terms of naming the new submarine, the Navy initially wanted to name it "Ghost".

Roark didn't like the name very much. The name "Ghost" was always associated with some negative information. Roark hoped that the new submarine would appear with a gentler image, so the "Dolphin" was born.

Compared with the "Ghost" submarine, the "Dolphin" has less noise and can almost blend into the environment; it is also faster, especially when using electric motors to sail underwater, the speed reaches an unprecedented 15 knots, thanks to

Contributions from Tesla Laboratories.

 At the commissioning ceremony, two new "dolphin" submarines appeared.

 The more streamlined shape of the “dolphin” immediately caught Winston’s attention.

“A new type of submarine?” Winston put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Rock uncertainly.

 Southern Africa already has a powerful naval aviation force, and now a new type of submarine has appeared. So who is the imaginary enemy of the Southern African navy?

 Probably it can’t be Germany.

"Yes, the 'Ghost' submarine has lost its leading advantage. The new submarine is called 'Dolphin'." Luo Ke cherished words like gold and did not say a word more.

Winston felt itchy.

 The "Ghost" submarine lost its lead!

The implication is that the "Dolphins" regained the lead.

 The "Ghost" submarine has participated in the exercises of the British Mediterranean Fleet and the Southern African Cyprus Squadron many times. Winston is no stranger to the "Ghost" submarine.

 Even though it is a "ghost" submarine, its performance is still very advanced.

 At least its performance is more advanced than that of British submarines.

 Now that southern Africa has more advanced "dolphins", the Royal Navy needs to work hard.

"Don't worry about Winston, the 'Dolphin' is not prepared for the Royal Navy, but for the Japanese." Rock saw Winston's worries and took the initiative to reassure him.

But Winston didn’t quite believe this.

 "Dolphin" can be used against the Japanese.

 Can also be used against the Royal Navy.

“Locke, is it possible to share technology?” Winston didn’t hold out much hope.

“Of course it can, but the Royal Navy must also come up with corresponding technologies.” Rock was not stingy, but can the Royal Navy still come up with exchangeable technologies?
