Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

At the end of 1943, Italy became the focus of the Allies' attention. Britain, the United States and southern Africa all hoped to cultivate their own spokespersons in Italy and draw Italy into their own camp.

Russia is also looking forward to a turnaround in Italy, so that the Allies can attack France or Germany through Italy, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Russian battlefield.

At present, it seems that southern Africa has the upper hand, but the advantage is not obvious. Britain still has great influence in the Mediterranean, and the influence of old imperialism cannot be ignored.

When Tony fled into the Christian Construction Company camp, Gasberry had just arrived in Pretoria.

Southern Africa is still very friendly to old friends. Unlike His Majesty III, who was repeatedly rejected, Gasbery's application to go to Southern Africa was given the green light. Patton sent a military plane to fly Gasbery directly to Pretoria, which was extremely fast.

.

This is Gasberg's first trip to southern Africa.

Gasberry has been longing for this magical land for a long time. From being unknown at the beginning, to being flooded by more and more southern African goods, southern Africa has become more and more important in the Vatican.

Few people have noticed that a later survey agency conducted a survey on European and American countries and found that religion has the most serious impact on American life. On the contrary, its influence in European countries is getting smaller and smaller.

The comprehensive strength of Southern Africa is superior to that of the United States. The Vatican attaches more importance to Southern Africa than the United States. Southern Africa also has a great influence on the Holy See. Apart from his old friend Franklin Fowler, the people who came to welcome Gasberry were

In addition, there is Greenhurst, the former Ambassador of the Kingdom of Italy to Southern Africa.

Franklin Fowler is the current Archbishop of Southern Africa and has a quarrelsome relationship with Gasberry.

Greenhurst's identity is embarrassing. After the Italian royal family fled to North Africa, Mustache supported Fat Bald to establish the Salo Republic. The Kingdom of Italy was actually destroyed because the Salo Republic had not established diplomatic relations with southern Africa. Greenhurst could

Remain in Southern Africa as Italian Ambassador.

From the airport to the Italian Embassy in Pretoria, Gasberg's shock will not go into details. Everyone who comes to Pretoria will be deeply shocked by it, whether it is the first time or not.

Just a few days ago, after arriving in Pretoria, King Ali of the Najd Sultanate stood on the balcony of the Rhodesian presidential suite, looking at the night view of Pretoria and blurted out: If there is a paradise on earth, Pretoria

Leah will be among them, and if heaven is in the sky, Pretoria will be named with it.

This was originally used by nomadic poets to describe Damascus, and it does not violate harmony at all to describe Pretoria.

Ali was also widely praised for this sentence.

Among the countries of the Southern African Union, only the Sultanate of Najd and the Kingdom of Congo have implemented imperial systems.

These two countries have also been criticized. Some democrats in southern Africa have been calling on the federal government to take action to turn the Sultanate of Najd and the Kingdom of Congo into democratic countries.

This proposal was opposed by others on the grounds that the federal government should not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. As long as the citizens of the Sultanate of Najd and the Kingdom of Congo do not request assistance from the federal government, the federal government should respect the choices of the citizens of the two countries.

There is no doubt that these two countries are loyal to southern Africa.

Ali handed over all the oil and gas resources in the Sultanate of Najd to Southern African companies for development. Southern Africans had the final say on how much of the profits would be made and how they were divided.

After Ali got his share of the Sultanate of Najd, he used a large part of it to purchase various southern African commodities, from royal luxuries to food and drinking water, all purchased from southern Africa.

African businesses have the final say.

Can such a loyal royal family really achieve this level in a democratic country?

The Kingdom of Congo is also the same, handing over various domestic resources to Southern African enterprises for development, and doing its best to provide the human resources needed for the development of Southern Africa.

In peacetime, Congolese are the best workers, doing the most work and receiving the least pay.

After the outbreak of the world war, Congo organized nearly 200,000 troops to join the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the largest number of troops among all alliance countries.

What makes Gasberg sad is that the sign at the door of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Italy in Pretoria has been removed and replaced by the headquarters of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Pretoria.

The guards at the door were no longer soldiers from the Kingdom of Italy, but were replaced by mercenaries protecting the company.

"The situation is very complicated now. The country has not allocated funds for several months. All the funds required for the operation of the embassy need to be raised by ourselves. You may not think that the people who help us the most are not the Italian businessmen in southern Africa, but the Italian businessmen in southern Africa."

Businessman—" Greenhurst's words surprised Gasberry. He really didn't expect that the real situation was like this.

"Southern Africans value their promises and keep their credibility, especially the Chinese. They keep their promises and will never inflict hardship on their friends who are in trouble. They will try their best to help the weak. A large part of the donations we receive come from Chinese families." Franklin.

Fowler also lamented that there is no better group to get along with than the Chinese.

"How is that possible? Doesn't it mean that the Chinese have a very casual attitude towards religion?" All Gasberry's previous knowledge of southern Africa came from the library.

"It's very casual. The Chinese have an incredible habit. They are always used to worshiping gods when they meet them, even if they don't have any faith - oh, no, the Chinese do have faith. They worship their ancestors, just like we worship

Like God." Fowler obviously knows more about the Chinese than Gasberry.

Gasberry thought thoughtfully, saying that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

There are not many staff in the embassy. After the Italian royal family fled to North Africa, the embassy fired some people, leaving only the necessary personnel needed for the operation of the embassy. This way, it can save money as much as possible while maintaining a low profile.

The conditions of the embassy are quite good. It is located in the embassy area near the Palace of Justice, next to the French Embassy, ​​opposite the British Embassy, ​​diagonally opposite the United States, and beyond it is the closed German Embassy in Southern Africa.

Although the German embassy has been closed, the embassy staff still remain in the embassy. They can contact the German mainland through telegraph. However, the telegraph is controlled by southern African security personnel, and the German embassy must apply in advance before using it.

Although the greening in the embassy district is good, it can be seen that the buildings are still relatively cramped. The embassies of so many countries are concentrated on two nearby streets. Although communication is much more convenient, it is not very convenient.

As we all know, in addition to its own work, the embassy is also responsible for some special tasks.

"How long will this situation continue? New rumors spread every day. The most outrageous news yesterday was that His Majesty was assassinated in Algiers. Everyone was terrified." Green couldn't wait to ask as soon as he sat down. The embassy was panicked and everyone was shocked.

Everyone is worried about Italy's future.

"His Majesty is still safe in Algiers. If His Majesty is assassinated, it must be the Germans." Gasberg was also confused. Although His Majesty III is safe, the former Chief of General Staff has died unexpectedly. In this situation, everyone

Everyone is in danger.

"I had afternoon tea with Mr. Rhodes the day before yesterday, and he accidentally mentioned that after the war, it is unlikely that His Majesty will return to Italy." Fowler still has many privileges as an archbishop.

"The Kingdom of Italy is in the past. We want to build a new country, a democratic country like southern Africa. If possible, we will no longer retain an army and strive to become a permanent neutral country like Switzerland, so that Italy can escape the vortex of war.

, we create wealth with our hands instead of relying on plunder." After Gasberry came to Pretoria, his determination became even stronger.

Only by experiencing war can we understand the preciousness of peace.

Southern Africa, far away from Europe, was once a remote country. In just a few decades, it has developed into the most powerful country in the world. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous. What is a lighthouse?

This is!

Green and Fowler are not as radical as Gasberg, especially Fowler, who has been away from Italy for more than 20 years.

When Fowler left Italy, Italy was still among the top five in the world.

In just 20 years, Italy has already fallen to this point?

"Old man, it's been 20 years since you left Italy, right?" Gasberry's eyes were full of sadness.

"Twenty-one years and four months——" Fowler's eyes were full of remembrance.

It’s only been 21 years, but it feels like a lifetime ago.

"The Italy of today is no longer the Italy of 20 years ago, and the world of today is no longer the world of 20 years ago -" Gasberg's voice gradually fell silent, just like the sky outside the window.

Although it's getting late, Pretoria's nightlife has just begun.

Tonight, there is a home game of Pretoria Kings at the Crown Stadium. The Crown Stadium is brightly lit and the sky nearby is lit up.

The staff of the stadium used searchlights to create a light show, and there was a live airship broadcast from the TV station in the sky. There were also theatrical performances and fireworks displays before the game. Such scenes have not been seen in Italy for a long time.

Green invited Gasberry to a specialty restaurant next to the Square of Justice. The restaurant was very popular and required reservations a week in advance. The owner of the restaurant was a famous Chinese chef who was said to have worked in the Palace of Justice and served as Rock's home cook.

.

“When you come to Pretoria, you must try the specialties here. There are whitebait from Nyasaland, steaks from Tanganyika, and lobsters from Australia. If you are lucky, you will also get them.

There is caviar from Russia." Green had many treasures, and it seemed that his life in Pretoria was not as miserable as he described.

"Oh oh oh, there is caviar from Russia, that's really rare -" Gasberry knew the situation in Russia very well even if he stayed in the library every day.

"In order to get Russian caviar to Pretoria, southern Africans use transport planes every day. They depart from Russia in the early morning, stop briefly in Cyprus and Tanganyika, and arrive in Pretoria before dark.

." Green's expression couldn't tell whether it was envy or contempt.

What I envy is of course the strong national power of southern Africa.

Disdainful.

Don't forget that Italy also had its glory days.

The collapse of all empires happens over time, starting from the smallest details.

In order to satisfy their appetite, people in southern Africa actually use precious transport planes to transport caviar from Russia. This is a very poor thing.

Of course, Green would never tell Gasberg that the transport plane used to carry caviar in southern Africa was a military transport plane returning from Russia.

These military transport planes transport various strategic materials to Russia, and are idle on the way back. The caviar carried is not private goods, but part of the trade with Russia.

After the war broke out, Southern Africa has provided Russia with various supplies worth tens of billions of rand.

Russia has no money and can only use various resources to repay these loans.

Everything that Russia has can basically be found in southern Africa. Caviar is a good commodity and is also very popular in southern Africa.

In the restaurant, Gasberg enjoyed a gourmet feast. This restaurant not only provided traditional oriental cuisine, but also provided a variety of meals familiar to Westerners, and the cooking was quite authentic.

"This is the most authentic mushroom soup I have eaten outside of Rome." Gasberg couldn't help but sigh.

This is of course an exaggeration. Mushroom soup is not unique to Rome.

"The amazing thing about the Chinese is that they are always good at absorbing various experiences and making them part of their own culture. This is why Southern Africa has grown from the original seven states to the current 30 states." Green said.

The wine signaled to Gasberry that foreign monks do not abstain from alcohol.

"Champagne produced in Cape Town?" Gasberg was surprised. The French still value the champagne trademark very much.

"Except for the Champagne region of France, only wines produced in Cape Town can use the Champagne trademark - and only for wines from Cape Town Oak Town." Green did not explain the story behind the name "Oak Town".

That's enough.

You see, even the French can give up their principles in order to cling to the thigh of southern Africa.

What do Italians have to insist on?

Gasbery said nothing. He had enough surprises today and needed time to digest them.

Gasbery stayed at the Italian Embassy at night. Before Gasbery got up in the morning, the car sent by the Palace of Justice had already arrived at the Italian Embassy.

Rock wants to see Gasberry.

immediately!

The embassy suddenly became chaotic. This was the first time in two years that the welcome car from the Palace of Justice appeared in front of the Italian embassy.

"God, it's not yet 9 o'clock, isn't Lord Nyasaland going to bed?" Gasberry was sleepy-eyed. He considered himself a very diligent person and rarely got up before 9 o'clock.

"My lord gets up at 5 o'clock every morning, and everyone in Pretoria knows this." Green was helping Gasberry squeeze out toothpaste without caring about his dignity, which was usually done by servants.
