Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The tank Germany sold to the Falangists was not the final version of the Panzer 1 tank, but the initial version.

This version of the No. 1 tank has a pitiful total combat weight of only 5.4 tons. Its armament is two 7.92mm MG13 machine guns, and it does not even have artillery. All data are inferior to the "Alligator" armored vehicles in southern Africa.

The machine gun caliber of the "Alligator" is still 12.7 mm.

The "Puss" has a total combat weight of 17 tons. Its armaments include a 50mm tank gun, a 7.7mm coaxial machine gun, and a 12.7mm high-level and flat dual-purpose machine gun. Its combat effectiveness is more than one level higher than the original version of the Panzer 1 tank.

grade.

Clavi Calderon was very satisfied with the various data of the "Puss" and placed an order for 150 vehicles on the spot.

150 "Puss" were enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the Falange's Panzer 1 tank.

When it comes to aircraft, Clavier Calderon chose the "Crown Eagle".

The "Crown Eagle" is also an export version developed by Nyasaland Airlines for French orders.

It is a pity that the French did not take a fancy to the "Crown Eagle". The engineers of Nyasaland Airlines worked in vain, and now they are selling it to the Spanish.

The performance of the "Crown Eagle" is actually pretty good. Although it cannot compare with the main fighter jets currently in service in the Southern African Air Force, it still has certain advantages compared with the fighter jets currently in service in European countries.

The "Crown Eagle" has an empty weight of 2.7 tons, a wingspan of 12.6 meters, a maximum take-off weight of four tons, a practical ceiling of 10,000 meters, and a maximum range of 800 kilometers. All data perfectly meet the requirements of the Spanish Republican Government.

Spain has an area of ​​505,925 square kilometers, about 830 kilometers from the northernmost point to the southernmost point, and the longest east-west direction is 1,000 kilometers. The combat radius of the "Crown Eagle" is enough to cover the entire territory of Spain.

The French look down on the Corian Eagle because the French can produce fighter jets. Although the performance of French fighter jets is not as good as the Corian Eagle, the proud French will not compromise easily.

Spain can also produce aircraft, but not fighter jets. The overall performance of the "Crown Condor" is similar to that of the "Hurricane" that the UK just flew. This makes Clavier Calderon ecstatic.

Regardless of the standards of southern African weapons and equipment, British weapons and equipment are of various kinds.

If it were any other country, most of them would be worse than the UK.

Thinking about the "fighting cock" that the British Air Force looked down upon, the Japanese felt like a treasure, and you can understand the mood of Clavier Calderon.

Clavier Calderon's order for the "Crown Condor" was for 200 units.

This is just the first order.

Including the "Puss", if they perform well in the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish Republican government will continue to place additional orders.

In addition to purchasing weapons and equipment, Clavi Calderon is most concerned about the protective umbrella.

The Spanish are much richer than the Abyssinians.

The Abyssinians could not afford to hire too many mercenaries from the Umbrella Company. After Lu Shao proposed that he could send mercenaries to fight in Spain in the name of the International Brigade, Clavi Calderon did not hesitate to give him 10,000 taels.

Thousand combat quotas.

Twelve thousand mercenaries, according to Umbrella Company standards, would cost the Spanish Republican government more than 1.5 million rand per month.

If the mercenary is killed or disabled during the Spanish war, the pension will be calculated separately.

Expensive indeed.

But the combat effectiveness of Umbrella Company mercenaries is also well known.

There are 12,000 men, which is a division according to the establishment of the Spanish army.

With Clavi Calderon's promise, the Umbrella Company acted quickly, and the selection criteria were still as white as possible. Chinese mercenaries and African mercenaries could only be selected unless they had particularly outstanding conditions.

On the day after Clavier Calderon signed an arms purchase agreement with the Southern African Consortium, Alvin, who was serving in the Indian Ocean Fleet, suddenly returned to Pretoria, hoping to join the war in Spain with the Umbrella Company.

Alvin's official position in the Indian Ocean Fleet is Colonel Staff Officer, Headquarters Operations Division.

This is an enviable position, with easy work, good remuneration, and fast promotion. Alvin was promoted to colonel at the age of less than 28 years old, which is enough to prove how fast this position can be promoted.

If there are no accidents, Alvin will become the youngest general of the Indian Ocean Fleet in two years.

Rock understands Alvin. Alvin's character is different from Gavin, who is obsessed with scientific research. He is unwilling to be lonely and hates a routine life. From this perspective, Alvin's character is more similar to Rock.

The Spanish Civil War is considered to be the prelude to World War II. The fighting was extremely fierce. The total number of the International Brigade in another time and space was as high as 35,000 people. In the end, less than 30,000 people withdrew from Spain. Roque did not want Alvin to go to Spain.

adventure.

Phyllis didn't even want to.

Jing Jing is now pregnant and is raising a baby in Pretoria. Alvin has an impulsive personality. If something unexpected happens in Spain, the girls will not have to live.

"I'm an active colonel of the Indian Ocean Fleet. Even if I don't have the umbrella, I'm still considered a senior officer. I can't charge into battle, so I don't have to worry about my safety." Alvin said in a nice way. He still has a knighthood, even if he is captured by the Falange.

, you can also receive prisoner treatment that matches your status.

It’s okay not to give it.

Then the Falangists would have to be prepared for reprisals in southern Africa.

To put it bluntly, if Alvin died in the battle in Spain, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company would be able to kill all the Falangists without any need for the Spanish Republican government to pay.

"The situation on the battlefield is complicated and dangerous. It is not as simple as you think." Phyllis firmly disagreed. Even if Alvin would not be on the front line, Phyllis would not allow Alvin to take risks in Spain.

"So what? The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are also from southern Africa. They can all go to Spain to fight, and so can I. Didn't my father personally go to the European battlefield to fight in the last world war?" Alvin also knew.

Making fun of Roque made Phyllis even more dissatisfied.

"Then you should remember how worried all of us were when your father was fighting in Europe." Phyllis was patient. Rock's participation in the World War was a just war, and Alvin's trip to Spain with the umbrella was a war.

Hyena, how can this compare?

Seeing that Alvin couldn't convince Phyllis, he turned to Rock for help.

Rock didn't say anything, he didn't want Alvin to go to Spain either.

If southern Africa is invaded, Rock will not hesitate to send Alvin to the battlefield.

If the enemy attacks Nyasaland, then Gavin will leave his beloved laboratory and take up arms to defend Nyasaland.

The Spanish Civil War had nothing to do with southern Africa after all.

Roque hoped to test the quality of southern African weapons in the Spanish Civil War, and also to verify how strong the Spanish Falange Party, which was supported by Germany and Italy, was in combat.

Including orders from the Spanish Republican Government, while bringing orders to the military industry in southern Africa, it can also maintain the military industry capabilities in southern Africa and prepare for the next world war.

All of this is nothing compared to Alvin's safety.

But deep down in his heart, Rock didn't want to stop Alvin from going to Spain.

Don’t forget the “courage” and “justice” advocated by the federal government of Southern Africa.

In the Spanish Civil War, the republican government was definitely the righteous side.

If Roque's positioning of Southern Africa is always on the side of peace, then Southern Africa can reap the same benefits as the United States, and make money by selling arms from both ends.

Roque positioned southern Africa as the future leader of the world.

This requires countless southern Africans to have the mindset of a leader.

Especially for people like Alvin and others who are destined to play an important role in southern Africa in the future.

Although Gavin is the first heir to the Marquis of Nyasaland.

But in Rock's mind, Alvin is more likely to lead southern Africa forward in the future.

Gavin is also good, with a stable personality, peace-loving, kind and generous, and paying attention to people's livelihood.

But to lead southern Africa to move forward and climb higher mountains, these alone are not enough.

"Alvin, if you go to Spain, then you have to be prepared to die in Spain." Rock thought in another way. If Rock were Alvin, then Rock would do the same.

Most of the delicate flowers grown in greenhouses cannot face the harsh natural environment.

Rock began fighting against the Boers when he was 20 years old.

It is the kind of combat where you truly lead your troops and launch a desperate charge in the face of the enemy's position.

"Rock!" Phyllis called Rock by his full name. Phyllis usually only did this when she was very angry.

"Yes, I have made all preparations." Alvin's expression was calm. Going to Spain to join the war was a decision Alvin made after calm consideration.

When the last world war broke out, Alvin was not yet an adult and had no chance to fight in Europe. This has always been a regret for Alvin.

When he went to the Indian Ocean Fleet, Alvin thought he had a chance to participate in the war, but he was always stuck in the headquarters operations department and had no chance to go to the front line.

Alvin's idol is Rock, and he hopes to lead thousands of troops like Rock and open up a new situation for southern Africa.

After the Spanish situation worsened, many internal deductions were conducted within the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the final conclusion was what Alvin wanted to see most.

Since the Spanish Civil War was the prelude to World War II.

Then when Alvin returns from Spain, he can naturally command the Southern African Defense Forces, like his father, and make contributions in the upcoming world war.

"Go and say goodbye to your wife. Before you go to Spain, you should pay more attention to your wife." Now that Roque has made this decision, there is still a lot of work to do next.

The Umbrella Company's mercenaries are powerful, but they are still not enough in the eyes of the Southern African Defense Force.

If nothing else, the weapons and equipment are just one level behind.

Therefore, the southern African federal government's attention to the Spanish Civil War will immediately increase to a higher level.
