Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

I still remember that during the last World War, the Southern African soldiers fighting in France were warmly welcomed by French girls. After the war, many French girls followed the Southern African soldiers to immigrate to Southern Africa and settle down, becoming Southern Africans.

Do those French girls really like Southern African guys?

Not necessarily, they just want to survive.

The same goes for replacing southern Africans with Germans. The occupying forces always have many privileges.

Men can join even if they can't beat them, but women are even more obvious in their ability to be strong.

De Gaulle was a man with a bottom line. He did not agree to use despicable methods to deal with Darlan and Laborde. This evil person could only be played by Leonard Capet.

Leonard Capet used these off-the-table moves without any psychological barriers.

In fact, this is not an outside move. For Leonard Capet, France is about to be destroyed. No matter what method is used, as long as he can win the final victory, Leonard Capet will do anything.

pole.

What's more, there are not many important military and political officials in various countries who have been assassinated. Even Mustache was almost assassinated. As long as there is profit, this is a routine operation.

Leaving the Provisional Prime Minister's Office in Casbah, Leonard Capet drove to Patton's Third Army headquarters in Algiers.

Casbah is the old town of Algiers. After the French occupied Algiers in 1830, Casbah underwent large-scale renovation. The buildings here have an obvious European style, and many ancient buildings with hundreds of years of history.

This city is full of a sense of history, especially the religious buildings that can be seen everywhere. They are numerous and have different styles, which are very African...

Europe has colonized Africa for hundreds of years, and its most significant achievements have been in religion. Various sects have become the best way for Europeans to rule Africans.

Southern Africa does not preach, and the way to obtain profits is not direct plunder, but more covert unequal exchange, so Southern Africa can gain the trust of Africans in such a short period of time.

Patton's headquarters is located on the edge of the old city of Algiers. It used to be the headquarters of the French Foreign Legion. After the Third Army took over, it was transformed according to the southern African tradition. It has now formed a new city covering an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers.

.

The headquarters is located in the core of the new city, with the magnificent Mediterranean Sea in front and the majestic Taylor Atlas Mountains behind it. In Eastern metaphysics, this is called being surrounded by mountains and rivers. In southern Africa, Eastern metaphysics has become more and more popular in recent years.

Due to work reasons, Leonard Capet often came to Barton, and every time he made new discoveries. Compared with the old city, which had remained almost unchanged for hundreds of years, the new city was changing with each passing day, and the speed of development was unbelievable.

The last time Leonard Capet came to New Town, street lights were being installed on both sides of the main road in New Town. Now that all the street lights have been installed, a large-scale building is rising not far away. This is the Rand Bank.

Headquarters in North Africa.

Wherever Southern African armies go, Southern African companies will follow.

Not only the Rand Bank, South Africa Corporation, Nyasaland Corporation, Nyasaland Heavy Industries, Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Group and other enterprises, but also the military's servicemen's service society.

The organization of the Military Service Cooperative is now becoming larger and larger, involving more and more industries. There are many 24-hour convenience stores in the new city, all set up by the Military Service Cooperative. Southern African companies are strengthening their awareness of the city of Algiers in various ways.

urban impact.

Compared with the last time I came to New Town, there are more and more shops on both sides of the street. Retail stores, restaurants, clothing stores, hotels, etc. are all available. Neon light boxes are one after another. In order to ensure the power supply of New Town, Crocodile Electric Power Company is even located next to New Town.

A thermal power station was built.

Southern Africa not only generates large amounts of hydropower, but also thermal power. Many areas in Africa lack hydropower resources, and thermal power can effectively meet urban electricity needs.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous new city, Leonard Capet felt increasingly heavy.

If this continues after the war, Algiers, the most dazzling pearl in North Africa, will have an uncertain future.

There are already signs.

The contrast between the New City and the Old City is so stark that capable Algiers choose to live in the New City one after another.

Southern Africans have built large-scale residential areas in new cities, ranging from high-rise apartments to townhouses, catering to groups with different needs.

The residential area is fully planned, with bustling commercial areas and quiet living areas. The community is equipped with large supermarkets and convenience stores, and even schools and hospitals.

The security situation in Algiers has always been poor. After all, this is the headquarters of the Foreign Legion. The residents are mixed, violence cases occur frequently in the old city, government agencies and police departments are not responsible enough, and residents complain.

There are better options now. There are 24-hour armed patrols by military police in the residential areas of the new city. Although it is not as good as not picking up litter on the road and not closing the door at night, the safety aspect is much better than that in the old city.

As a result, more and more capable residents of the old city are choosing to settle in the new city. Even if the prices of those houses are high, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm for pursuing a better life.

Residents who can afford to go to the new city have certain financial strength. As one trades off, the new city becomes a rich area where rich people live, and the old city becomes a forgotten slum.

For those wealthy people, they wish that Algiers would now be brought under the rule of the Southern African federal government, so that they can always enjoy the protection of the Southern African military.

This trend is irreversible, especially with the war in Europe, who doesn't want to live in a stable and peaceful environment.

The headquarters of the Third Army is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by green trees, with lawns and gardens everywhere, and the environment is incredibly beautiful.

Patton was not satisfied with this. Every time Leonard Capet came, there were soldiers planting trees. Southern Africans have a mysterious preference for trees, especially soldiers, who could never take a moment to relax.

The New Army of Free France is completely reborn compared to the previous Foreign Legion.

However, compared with the Southern African army, the Free French Army is obviously lagging behind. This is not only reflected in the weapons and equipment, but also in the mental outlook of the soldiers. Southern African soldiers are always neatly dressed, even if they are doing manual labor.

When they are young, they will also pay attention to their appearance.

The soldiers of the Free France were not lazy. The key was that they were unaware and had poor initiative. Many of them were not good at communicating with others.

This is normal. Southern African soldiers are all real southern Africans, while free French soldiers are mostly colonial natives. Although many of them are also white, white and white are different.

"Dear Patton, I'm so glad to see you. When are you going to counterattack the European continent?" Leonard Capet was straightforward. He is now the Prime Minister of Free France and dreams of attacking France every day.

As for the neutrality of the Vichy government

Sorry, neutrality or not is not decided by the Vichy government, but by the winning side.

If the Axis powers had won the World War, then all would have been lost and Leonard Capet would have gone into exile in southern Africa.

If the Allies win the final victory, Vichy France will be consigned to the pillar of shame in history and will never be able to get over it.

"Hahaha, Mr. Prime Minister, it's a coincidence that you came here. I just caught a delicious grouper. Let's eat it for lunch." Patton didn't answer. It didn't matter when Patton would counterattack the European continent. Leonard said it.

Doesn't count.

Since the seawater contains relatively poor phosphates and nitrates necessary for marine life, the fish resources in the Mediterranean are not very abundant, and the fishing industry is not developed.

The fish in the Mediterranean are mainly cod, sole, sardine and other fish. Bluefin tuna and grouper are also found, but the number is not large.

"The dignified Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Theater, you should have a more important job when you go fishing every day." Leonard knew Patton well, so this kind of joke is not too much.

Even without Ada's relationship, Leonard still has the ability to joke with Barton. After all, he is the largest industrial tycoon in France.

Now Leonard is no longer the insignificant second-rate dealer he used to be. Before the outbreak of the world war, Leonard moved his factory in France directly to North Africa, taking advantage of North Africa's rich human resources and industrial resources. Leonard's name

The enterprises under it have developed rapidly and are now able to produce a variety of military supplies including weapons and ammunition.

France has always been very strong in the military industry, especially in artillery. Miss 75 is still an excellent light artillery.

In addition to artillery, French companies are quite powerful in many fields such as automobiles, tanks, and shipbuilding. The companies under Renard's name have inherited the romantic temperament of the French and have certain strengths in industrial design.

Of course, this kind of strength cannot be compared with that of enterprises in southern Africa. The advantage of enterprises under Renard's name lies in its relationship with Free France. As long as the goods under Renard's name can be produced, Free France will definitely give priority to purchasing them.

"Go to Pretoria to find the Lord. As long as you can convince the Lord, I will launch an attack on France tomorrow." Barton smiled. Although the title system in southern Africa was abolished many years ago, the existing titles have been retained.

.

"Go ahead, if you can convince the Lord, I will personally donate one billion francs to the Atlantic Theater." Leonard seemed generous, but in fact one billion francs was not much.

After the establishment of Free France, the financial sector immediately became independent and issued its own currency in North Africa, which was called the "Free Franc".

The "free franc" cannot be directly exchanged for gold due to the lack of bank reserves, so it is not accepted by people. The most widely used currency in North Africa is the rand.

After the outbreak of the world war, the trend of the rand replacing the pound as the world currency became increasingly obvious.

The UK's economy is now tense, and the pound has been depreciating, but the gold content of the rand has been very strong, and it remains at the ratio of one rand to one gram of gold.

Nowadays, countries around the world are increasingly dependent on southern Africa, especially in terms of oil. Southern Africa insists on using rand settlement when conducting oil trade, even the United Kingdom is no exception.

This makes other countries uncomfortable, but they have to succumb to the power of the rand.

When the British Empire was at its peak, the pound was the most widely used international currency in the world. International trade at that time was either settled in pounds sterling, gold, or purely barter.

This situation is normal. It is similar to the Deutsche Mark during Weimar Germany. The price was one per day. In the morning, one hundred marks could buy one pound of bread, but in the afternoon, one could only buy one hundred grams. No one could accept this.

One pound is about 450 grams.

Now with the weakening of the British Empire, the status of the pound as an international currency has been seriously shaken. The UK had already abolished the gold standard system before the outbreak of the world war, and later instituted a gold nugget standard but it ended in vain. Now it is the only currency in the world that can be directly exchanged for gold.

The currency is the Rand.

Except within the Commonwealth, the pound can compete with the rand.

In most other countries around the world, the rand is increasingly used, and even trade between the United States and Russia uses the rand.

This may sound incredible. Americans are definitely willing to use U.S. dollars, while Russians prefer rubles. However, even though Americans and Russians are allies, they do not trust each other, which requires the use of a third-party currency for settlement.

It doesn't matter if you don't have money, just owe it first and pay it back when you have it. Most loans carry interest.

"Keep the franc for yourself. If it's one billion rand, I can consider it." Barton laughed. The North African franc issued by Free France is now a piece of waste paper, and its depreciation rate is comparable to that of the Weimar Mark and Algiers.

None of the retail stores in New Town accept payment in North African CFA francs.

Compared with other French capitalists, Leonard Capet is relatively conscientious, but he still has not escaped the shackles of the capitalist era.

The North African franc was fine when it was first issued, and the Free French government showed restraint and did not issue it indiscriminately.

Soon the Free French government found that there was not enough money, there were too many places to spend money, and the little tax collected could not make ends meet, so the number of Free Francs quietly increased, and the denominations became larger and larger.

"I have a way for you to get the French Navy." Leonard Capet just said that his entire net worth does not add up to one billion rand.

"What?" Patton was interested in the French Navy. He was an officer with a naval background. Like those stubborn admirals in southern Africa, he was obsessed with battleships.

Of course, despite all his concerns, Patton still had sense and would not leave the aircraft carrier alone to build a battleship.

The French Navy is different. It's a free pick. If you don't make money, you won't make a profit.

"You only need to send people to kill Darlan and Laborde, and the French navy will be at your fingertips." Leonard said seriously, he was really prepared to do this.

""

Patton was speechless, Prime Minister of Free France, hoping that the Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Theater in Southern Africa would kill the Minister of Defense of Vichy France in a dishonorable way!

This thing sounds unreliable, and it might cause an international scandal. The three battleships of the French Navy are not worth the risk of Patton's reputation.
