Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

No matter when it comes, "Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun" is an irrefutable truth.

Therefore, Rock set up a militia in Nyasaland to strengthen Nyasaland, on the one hand to prepare for the export of the Yao people, and on the other hand to guard against threats from Tanganyika and the Congo Free State.

There is another reason why Rock cannot speak out, and that is the British government.

Rock will never have 100% trust in the British government, so it is necessary for Rock to cultivate one or several armed forces that are absolutely loyal to him to guard against threats from the British government.

These armed forces include the Chinese police and gold mine security guards in Johannesburg, the militia in Nyasaland, and the Yao people in Portuguese East Africa, or the Bantu people in the future Congo Free State. If Roque's plan succeeds, then with these

With overt and covert armed forces, Roque can turn Africa upside down, which has been carved up by European countries.

The militia in Nyasaland are all composed of Chinese. The militia members are selected among the Chinese. The backbone of the militia is the police and gold mine security guards from Johannesburg. The militia still adopts a rotation training system. Only the best people can become permanent members. Rock's final

The purpose is to allow all Chinese to receive a certain degree of military training, so that the Chinese in Nyasaland can stand upright and dare to face any challenges like the Chinese in Johannesburg.

It is said that money makes heroes brave. In fact, if you have a gun in your hand, you will not panic when encountering trouble. Even women and children, as long as they have a gun in their hand, they will have the confidence to fight to the death when encountering trouble. This is something that money cannot bring.

sense of security.

Nyasaland is an environment where ordinary people can't do without guns. After all, there are threats to people. In addition to people, there are also wild animals. Therefore, Nyasaland will not ban guns within 30 to 50 years.

,future

It will be even less so in the future, when Nyasaland is expected to face threats from all directions, and it will be even more necessary to legally own guns.

Therefore, it is very important for Nyasaland to have the ability to make weapons.

Rock did not want to see that at some point in the future, for some reason, Nyasaland lost the support of the British government and did not have the ability to manufacture weapons. Eventually, like the Boers, Nyasaland would face the same desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food.

The hydropower station and arsenal were just the beginning. Rock had already asked Christian to find ways to recruit talents in the military industry in Europe. He could not go to Douglas for this matter, it would be more appropriate to go to Christian.

Compared with machines, technical talents are even scarcer. Rock bought a production line and a hydroelectric generator. Westinghouse Company will send people to guide the installation at the hydropower station. The Royal Small Arms Manufacturing Factory will not care about the production line. The price of the machine itself is not expensive, just like

Selling scrap products is almost the same, so the Royal Small Arms Factory will not send technical personnel to Nyasaland.

"It doesn't matter, I'll solve the technical problems. How many people do you want?" Stoudemire took care of everything. The South African company is very powerful in this regard. Stoudemire is a pure British after all and has more advantages than Rock.

"The more the better, skilled workers, technicians, and designers are all required. It's still the old rule, double the salary." Roque is now good at using money to hit people. It's not good if he doesn't hit people. There is no benefit. Who wants to go to Nyasa?

A place where a bird like Lan doesn't poop.

Compared with London and Paris, Johannesburg is a remote country, and Nyasaland is nothing but a bird.

However, Rock is still confident that as long as he can fool people, Rock can keep them. Ziwei Town has now become a model of peaceful housing, and Rock is confident that countless Ziwei Towns will be replicated in Nyasaland.

"Okay, leave this question to me." Stoudemire was full of confidence. In fact, Europe in this era did not have many concepts of nations.

This is really no joke. Until the Cold War, the flow of technical personnel was actually very free. The simplest example is that when the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, many white officers working in the Beiyang Navy were with the Beiyang Fleet.

Fighting to the end, and finally sinking into the sea together with the warship, this can well explain people's attitude towards the country and nation at this time.

As for the country's restrictions on technical talents, there are actually not many. In the field of weapons design, Browning is considered a top talent. The famous m1911, m2, and ba are all made by Browning.

Browning was originally an American and initially cooperated with Winchester in the United States to produce weapons.

In 1897, Browning designed an automatic smoothbore gun by using the energy of the gas in the gun chamber when firing as the energy source for automatic loading. However, the Winchester Company refused to mass-produce it, so Browning angrily came to Belgium.

The Herstal National Arsenal, later known as fn, became the chief firearms designer of the Herstal National Arsenal.

After that, most of the weapons designed by Browning were produced by the Herstal National Arsenal.

Even top talents like Browning can freely go to Belgium from the United States. Rock just wants to hire excellent designers, technicians and skilled workers. There is basically no difficulty at all. As long as the salary is in place, everything is easy.

"When poaching people, be careful and don't limit yourself to the weapons industry. We now only have a rudimentary arsenal that can only produce obsolete weapons, but our ideals cannot be limited to obsolete weapons. Producing weapons and bullets requires

I hope we can produce all the raw materials we need, so that we won’t be controlled by others in the future.” Rock has an ideal, and if he wants to get it, he can buy a complete set. He can’t buy a production line and have someone choke him with raw materials. Rock wants to get all the raw materials.

All production links are in your own hands, so that you are not controlled by others.

"All raw materials? Is this necessary?" Xiaosi disagreed.

Making bullets is not troublesome, but mastering all the processes is troublesome. Don't underestimate a small bullet, the manufacturing process is also very complicated.

There is no shortage of copper in Nyasaland for the production of bullets. Nyasaland has a quarter of the world's copper, so Nyasaland does not need to study hard to use steel to replace copper.

The primer of the bullet now uses mercury fulminate. Although lead azide can be produced, lead azide has not yet obtained a patent for industrial application. Therefore, although mercury fulminate is unsafe and highly toxic, Rock can only

Hold your nose and use fulminate.

The propellant of the bullets uses multi-based gunpowder based on nitrocellulose. The technology in this area is not troublesome. Nobel is just a money bag. As long as you give money, you can buy any technology.

The key is that if you want to have technology, you need more factories and more workers. This is definitely a heavy burden for Nyasaland, which currently has insufficient manpower. If it were someone else, they might just buy the raw materials directly.

It's done, but Rock will never do this. It's convenient to buy raw materials, but it's uncomfortable to be controlled by others. Even if it's backward technology, Rock must master it all, so that he can be confident in the future.

"It is very necessary, Cecil, think about it, if we buy raw materials from Europe, if a war breaks out in Europe and the raw materials themselves are not enough, will they still sell them to us?" Rock prepared for a rainy day.

"No, no, no, Locke, there is no need for you to worry. Just look at the Boer War. Although the empire seemingly won, the gains outweighed the losses and the price paid was too huge. Therefore, there will definitely not be another war of this scale in the future.

That means the empire is strong and can withstand this kind of consumption. How about letting the French and Germans try a war of this scale? I'm afraid the whole country will go bankrupt." Stoudemire has his own judgment about the future.

How can I put this judgment? It seems that it cannot be wrong, because after the Boer War, the British government and the public learned the hard lesson and were indeed changing their national strategy, starting from strategic expansion to strategic contraction.

But other countries will not adjust their own national strategies based on the British national strategy, especially a country where a certain emperor is a lunatic. The situation in the UK cannot be used to generalize the situation in other countries. A certain country is salivating over British colonies all over the world. The British

The strategic contraction just exposed Britain's weakness, which would definitely encourage the ambitions of some mad emperor.

"Cecil, believe me, there is a war brewing in Europe. The scale may be beyond everyone's imagination. No one can stay away, including us, so now we must be prepared to take a step back, even if it is

This situation will not happen, and we have not lost anything except some money, but once that situation happens, haha" Rock took his time, isn't it just money? What Rock doesn't care about now is money.

"Okay, if you are willing, I have to declare that these factories have nothing to do with the Rhodesia Company." Xiaosi wanted to stay out of the matter. Xiaosi had no shortage of money, but Xiaosi didn't want to play around.

"Are you sure? Henry will invest." Rock was not in a hurry. Stoudemire was a bit hesitant and needed someone to push him from behind.

Sure enough, Xiao Si began to worry about gains and losses again, his expression was uncertain, and he opened his mouth several times to say harsh words, but he couldn't.

"Come on, I promise you won't lose money. If you participate, you will be grateful for today's decision in the future. If you don't participate, you will definitely regret it in the future." Rock grabbed Xiao Si's shoulders and refused to let Xiao Si

get off.

Xiao Si was so angry that he didn't speak, which was the default meaning.

In the evening, Lala, who was training the Yao people in Portuguese East Africa, came to see Roque.

Luo Ke and Xiao Si were having a barbecue, and Luo Ke did it himself. The fish and chicken wings they cooked were not much different from those cooked by the chef.

"The Yao people are still quite capable. They have almost 10,000 soldiers. Most of them have not received systematic military training. Zhazha is leading some experienced Yao soldiers to fight guerrillas with the Portuguese. I am in Mani

The weapons and ammunition for the large troops trained by the Yao tribe in Antigua and Barbuda are still not enough. If there are enough weapons and ammunition now, I will be sure to drive the Portuguese out of East Africa within three months." Lara squatted next to Roque and fanned.

, mainly to fan away the smoke.

"Locke, give me another chicken wing." Stoudemire pretended to be dead on the recliner. A beautiful girl on the left fanned him, a beautiful girl on the right peeled fruit, and a beautiful girl massaged him behind him.

Go to hell, you rotten rich second generation!

Rock sprinkled a handful of salt on the chicken wings.

Lala's expression was obviously surprised. She blinked her cunning eyes and did not dare to speak. She focused on fanning herself.

"What should the Portuguese do if they increase their troops?" Roque thought more. Portuguese East Africa was one of Portugal's few remaining colonies, and the Portuguese government would certainly not give up easily.

"Then we will fight guerrillas with the Portuguese. Just as the Boers dealt with the expeditionary force, we will deal with the Portuguese the same way we deal with the Portuguese when the enemy advances and we retreat, and when the enemy retreats we advance!" Lara said the last few words in Chinese.

There was still a hint of Shandong dialect. Luo Ke's hands trembled when he heard it, and he added salt again.

Speaking of guerrilla warfare, there is no one in this era who is more proficient than Rock. The sixteen-character motto of "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance" is an unchanging truth in any era. Let's go to Lala and Zhazha.

During Portuguese East Africa, Roque specially trained Lala and Zhazha.

When it comes to African names, it is absolutely a tragedy. The pronunciation of Lala's name is very complicated. It is estimated that no one can spell it out successfully. The Johannesburg police station cannot register it, so they can only randomly intercept two syllables as the name.

Lala and the others didn't care, and their attitude was very casual. When they served in the expeditionary force, Lala and the others had no names at all. The expeditionary force used code names to represent them, and no one felt insulted.

Again, there is no human rights in this era. Even white people have no awareness of human rights, let alone Africans.

"The Portuguese forces are in several strongholds. You also have to clear the country and evacuate all the Yao people near the strongholds so that the Portuguese cannot get any supplies. If the Portuguese dare to leave the strongholds, you will attack along the way and injure them.

It's better to cut off one of his ten fingers. As long as the Portuguese's vitality is continuously eliminated, the Portuguese won't be able to hold on for long." Roque is not in a hurry. The Portuguese are a pretty good training target. Use the Portuguese to train the Yao people.

Roque can then use the Yao people to deal with the Germans.

Is it very difficult?

It's really not that good. The Yao people who are guided by guerrilla theory will definitely be unfavorable in Africa.

"We are already doing this. Recently, we have evacuated all the tribes near Tete to Rhodesia. Within a hundred square kilometers around Tete, there is not a single tribe left. The Portuguese are huddled in Tete.

They didn't dare to come out. As soon as they left the city, they would be sniped by our precision shooters. We cut off their telegraph lines, dug up roads, and even killed all the eland around Tete. The Portuguese were miserable."

Lala was very excited. Only Africans had been slaves to white people. Africans had never been so proud.

"Haha" Roque smiled happily. He could imagine how miserable the Yao people could do to the Portuguese under the guidance of the idea of ​​​​encircling the city from the countryside.

"You guys had a lot of fun, but the Portuguese are looking for trouble with me, saying that I drove away all the people around Tete." Xiaosi couldn't wait for the chicken wings, so he had to come and get them himself.

Rock smiled and said nothing.

Lala stared with her eyes and puffed out her cheeks in horror.

Xiao Si didn't realize it and stuffed what looked like a roasted chicken wing into his mouth.

"Bah! What did you do?" Xiaosi's angry voice almost spread throughout the camp.
