Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Pedro didn't know how big a mistake he had made. When Alvin boarded the "Richmond", he was still angry.

Lieutenant General Mike Tolan was very satisfied with the result. This was what he meant by winning without a fight.

"Don't be angry. The Spaniards brought it upon themselves, and they will have a hard time in the future." Mike Tolan comforted Alvin. Alvin also served in the Navy and was a true colleague of Mike Tolan.

The key is that Alvin is young and is already a colonel before he is 30 years old. Mike Tolan was once a highly anticipated rising star in the Southern African Navy and was only promoted to a major at the age of 30.

Although Alvin did nothing in Spain this time, after returning to southern Africa, his military rank will definitely be further improved, and he may become a general soon. By then, Alvin will have the qualifications to command a squadron.

It is not a squadron of the same level as the Cyprus Squadron.

It is a squadron under the Grand Fleet.

As for how much Rock attaches importance to Alvin, it actually has little to do with Mike Tolan. After all, Mike Tolan was able to reach this position not by relying on flattery, but by real materials.

"I would rather stay in Valencia and see how these guys die." Alvin was really unwilling to give in. The Spanish Republican government is a typical example of a good card being beaten badly.

If the Spanish republican government chooses to cooperate with southern Africa, the League of Nations will not be so resolute in its blockade of the Spanish republican government, and Britain and France will not be so resolute in implementing the appeasement policy considering the position of southern Africa.

Well now, the Spaniards chose Russia, which aroused great vigilance from Britain and France. Previously, Britain and France wanted to curb the expansion of Germany and Italy, and they also supported the republican government.

The position has now shifted to countering Russian expansion.

Therefore, the current Spanish Republican government does not receive any international assistance except Russia.

Even if Russia goes all out to help the Spanish Republican government regardless of compensation, the Spaniards will not be able to fight against most of Europe.

Don’t forget that there is also the United States.

Now add southern Africa

When Roque learned about the decision of the Spanish Republican Government, he was dumbfounded. The last person to be so confident was Cardano.

"As you will see, the Spanish Civil War is unlikely to end in a short time." Mike Tolan was actually surprised. After the Russians intervened, the enthusiasm of the People's Guard was truly surprising.

War is a very complicated matter. If morale can be measured in numbers, before the Russians intervened, the morale of the People's Guard was 60, and now it is 120.

Of course, morale does not determine the direction of the war. Spain's area is too small and its strategic depth is not enough. Even if the republican government has the support of Russia, it will not be enough to make a comeback.

Alvin did not go to Cyprus, but took the "Richmond" across the Strait of Gibraltar to French Morocco for a short stay, and then returned directly to southern Africa.

When Alvin returned to Pretoria, it was already November 1935.

As 1936 approaches, Southern Africa is going all out to prepare for the coming World War II.

With Rock as a bad guy, there was no doubt in Southern Africa that World War II was coming.

During the time Alvin was in Spain, the expansion of the Southern African Army was progressing rapidly, and Army divisions were established on the basis of the National Guards of each state, and the number had reached 25.

The establishment has only reached 25, and officers and soldiers are still being added.

Southern Africa has retained two ace troops over the years, and they finally played a role.

The Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division retire a group of officers and soldiers every year. These officers and soldiers do not completely leave the army. After retirement, they enter the reserve list and can return to active duty at any time once the federal government needs it.

Some officers and soldiers did not want to leave the army, so they registered with the Umbrella Company and became professional mercenaries. This group has now returned to active service, and their status remains good and seamless.

The Navy's four "Island" class aircraft carriers have all been commissioned, and landing ships are being built at Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edwards Shipyard in preparation for overseas operations.

There are four "Island" class aircraft carriers, two each in the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet. Four of the six "City" class aircraft carriers are in the Indian Ocean Fleet. Four battleships have been returned to the factory for modernization again. Their main mission in the future is escort.

What gave Rock some comfort was that the navy generals finally no longer asked for battleships.

The Southern African navy has now completely accepted the idea of ​​building a military with aircraft carriers as the core.

The existing four battleships have to be diverted to escort, and rebuilding battleships can only be a dud, so it is better to just build cruisers, especially light cruisers.

The current Southern African Navy's operations are centered on aircraft carriers, and the most important ship type is actually light cruisers.

The armament system of the "Durban" class light cruiser has also been upgraded.

There used to be 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns on the "Durban".

Now all the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns have been removed and replaced by twin and quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft guns.

After the transformation of the "Durban", the main gun caliber is still 152mm, the number of quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft guns has been increased to 6, and the number of twin 20mm anti-aircraft guns has been increased to 12. The anti-aircraft firepower is unprecedentedly powerful.

As for seaplanes, which are commonly carried on British and American light cruisers, the "Durban" has never carried them.

However, after the successful development of the helicopter, a helicopter platform was added to the "Durban", whose main function was anti-submarine warfare.

In addition to the army and navy, the air force is also making big moves.

Two airborne divisions were established in southern Africa the year before last, which put higher requirements on the air force's delivery capabilities.

The requirements are high, but the solution is very simple. After all, the equipment is ready-made.

The transport aircraft used for airborne landings are actually similar to heavy long-range bombers. They can be used after being modified, which is very convenient.

The Marine Corps has heavy equipment for the airborne troops, such as light tanks, armored vehicles, and light artillery. Tanks and armored vehicles are both amphibious, and their performance is obviously excessive.

The crazy expansion of the army has resulted in a skyrocketing military expenditure.

Fortunately, the economic situation in southern Africa has been good in recent years, and the federal government can still afford it.

However, this also raises a very serious problem.

Southern Africa is so well-equipped with troops, how dare a mustache and a fat bald man start a world war?

Rock is not worried about this issue at all. Don't underestimate the ambitions of Mustache and Fat Bald. Rock only wants to fish in troubled waters. Mustache and Fat Bald want to change the world directly.

Look at the current battlefield in Spain. Britain and France are implementing appeasement policies. Relations between Southern Africa and the Spanish Republican government are broken. The United States has always supported the Falang Party. In other words, the position of the United States, Germany and Italy is the same.

If it were Rock with a mustache, Rock would be arrogant. After all, the situation is great.

Germany has now fully broken through the Treaty of Versailles and taken back the Rhineland by force. Although Mustache's plan for the German-Austrian Anschluss failed in the past few years, new opportunities have recently emerged.

Do you still remember the assassinated Prime Minister of Austria? It was the first time that Mustache planned the Anschluss of Germany and Austria. Due to strong opposition from Britain and France, Mustache's plan failed.

Britain and France are still very wary of the merger of Germany and Austria. Once Germany and Austria merge, Germany will greatly increase its strength and pose a real threat to Britain and France.

Now that the civil war has broken out in Spain, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Mustache.

Alvin returned to Pretoria and went to find Roark immediately.

"What have you gained from this trip to Spain?" Rock is still looking forward to Alvin.

"My fishing skills are very good now." Alvin has matured a lot, which is what Rock wants to see most.

"You can go fishing with the president another day." Rock was talking about Kitchina.

After retiring, Kitchina was not idle. He worked in several southern African folk associations, one of which was the Fishing Association, of which Kitchina served as the honorary president.

"I now know the biggest difference between European countries and us in southern Africa." Alvin made rapid progress and was thinking while fishing.

Rock is satisfied that all experiences make people grow, and Alvin seems to be on the right path now.

"I am very fortunate that Southern Africa has a stable federal government. This is the biggest difference between us and European countries." Alvin came to Roque to report on his work.

"Compared with the content of the policy, the continuity of the policy is more important. If you look at Europe now, you will know that Spain, the United Kingdom and France are all trapped in political strife and cannot escape. The development of the country has been greatly affected as a result. On the contrary, it is Germany and Italy.

With a relatively stable central government, the economy has developed rapidly in recent years." Alvin had never figured out what the British and French politicians were thinking.

Now Alvin has figured it out, it's not that British and French politicians are messing around, it's just that they believe that only their own parties can lead Britain and France to move forward.

The problem is that they cannot gain the trust of the people.

Long term trust.

"I want to go back to Nyasaland and run for Congress." Alvin decided to join politics, which was a surprise to Rock.

Alvin has always wanted to make a difference like Rock, so he has been serving in the military over the years. From the army to the air force to the navy, Alvin has experienced it all.

Now Alvin finally understands the meaning of politics, and Rock is very happy.

Then try it first.

Leaving aside other states, there is no pressure on Alvin to run for office in Nyasaland. The people of Nyasaland will give Alvin full trust.

This requires Alvin to prove with actual results that he is worthy of the trust of Nyasaland people.

What Rock didn't expect was that Alvin's courage was far greater than Rock imagined.

Running for Congress is only Alvin's first step. Alvin's goal is to eliminate all political parties in southern Africa except the Liberal Party.
