Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Two soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force who came to teach the Indians a lesson, one named Li Mai and the other named Tiger, were both Marines and had been stationed in the Cocos Islands for a long time.

The Cocos Islands are located 1,300 kilometers southwest of the Lion City, 2,968 kilometers from Perth, Australia, and 3,685 kilometers from Darwin Port. They were under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Ceylon before 1886, and were placed under the management of the Straits Settlements after 1886.

The Cocos Islands are composed of 27 coral islands, covering an area of ​​14..2 square kilometers, with a population of less than 200 people. There is an airstrip on the main island of Home, where flights between southern Africa and Australia will transfer.

Colonel Rex's worry is correct. Li Mai and Tiger beat someone and were required to be put into solitary confinement according to regulations. However, Li Mai and Tiger were not put into the solitary room of the military police department, but were executed in the sobering room.

.

Compared with the confinement room, which is only three or four square meters in area, is sealed on all sides, and the walls are wrapped with sponge to prevent self-harm, the conditions in the sobering room are much better.

The solitary room is prepared for those who violate military discipline. The conditions are similar to those of a small dark room in a prison. It doesn’t matter if the environment is bad. The key is that no one can communicate with each other. There is not even anyone to talk to. A day or two may not matter, as long as one sleeps

The sleep is over, and over time it can drive people crazy.

Although the conditions of the sobering room are not good, the bed is quite spacious and the two of them can communicate together. The most important thing is that they can also receive visits.

Early the next morning after Li Mai and Tiger were imprisoned in the sobering room, Lieutenant Hood, who was also serving in the Marine Corps, sent a large package of things to Li Mai and Tiger, which included a change of clothes for the two of them, and

Cigars, wine, playing cards, and two roast chickens.

"It cost you a lot of money——" Li Mai and Tiger smiled. They really didn't expect that being locked up would be an unexpected surprise.

"I didn't buy this, I just ran an errand to help. If you want to thank me, thank the owner of the Paradise Club -" Lieutenant Hood looked at Li Mai and Tiger with jealousy, and his tone became sour:

"——I also want to tell you some good news. Because of your righteous actions, from now on, you no longer need to pay any fees to chat with girls in the Lion City. They will be happy to provide you with free services."

Cigars, wine and the like are trivial things, and it’s not like Li Mai and Tiger can’t afford them.

It's too eye-catching to find girls at will without paying. This is not a matter of money, but a matter of men's dignity.

If they don't pay, the Indians will get beaten. If Li Mai and Tiger go to those romantic places in the future, not only will they not have to pay, but some girls may pay them back. What does this mean?

It shows that my brother is charming!

"Sure enough, it's the girls in the club who are showing loyalty to each other because of their loyalty." Tiger was overjoyed. He didn't give anything like that and just gave him a big tip. He couldn't let anyone's work go in vain.

"If an investigator asks, you will kill the other party. The club staff will prove it for you." Second Lieutenant Hood is prepared for a rainy day. Most British people will not give up.

The Indian's injury is not important. The key to this matter is that it concerns the face of the British Empire, and the British will probably pursue the case.

But that’s not necessarily the case. After all, it’s not a good thing to talk about. It would be even more embarrassing if it gets bigger. It might turn into a big deal and become a trivial matter.

"Okay, no problem -" Li Mai wasn't too worried. No one died anyway, so there was no need to pay for his life. At most, he would just have to pay some money.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

The British do have a tendency to reduce big things to small ones.

"Singapore Daily" disagreed and reported the matter in a larger space the next day. With the help of concerned people, the matter gradually fermented.

There are indeed many problems with Indians. Not only do they not pay for the Overlord Meal, but they make big and small mistakes all the time. If you ask them to use force to resist British colonial aggression, they really don’t dare. But they are like ruffians in the Lion City.

He was so tyrannical that public dissatisfaction broke out in just a few days.

"When the Japanese army came to the city, the governor fled in panic. Facts have proved that the British Empire cannot protect us. We pay millions of pounds in taxes to London every year, but we cannot even get the most basic security guarantee. This has to make us think about the lion

In addition to those Indians defecating in the streets and alleys of the Lion City, what else has the British brought to the Lion City?"

The tendency of the "Lion City Daily" was obvious. Mountbatten was very angry and wanted to send people to close down the "Lion City Daily", but was stopped by General Kenny Wilson, who was stationed in the Lion City.

"It's best not to do this. Huang Jiaqi, the owner of "Singapore Daily", is a member of the Huang family of East India and has a close relationship with General Angel. If "Singapore Daily" is blocked, it will make us more passive." Mountbatten spent most of his time.

All in India, Kenny Wilson knows the Lion City better.

"So what if we have good relations with southern Africans? Is the Lion City British or southern African?" Mountbatten was furious. This is why he did not want to be the governor of the Straits Settlements.

Although the Indians were uncooperative, at least they would not openly oppose British colonial rule.

However, the Lion City is no longer the docile Lion City it once was. Just like its name, it has become more and more impressive.

"It's different now -" Kenny Wilson felt disappointed, things are different now.

In the past, the people of Lion City had no choice but to accept British colonization.

Now that there is a second or even third option, everything is different.

"No, the Lion City will remain the same as before, and there will be no changes." Mountbatten would not sit still and wait for death. If he could not solve the problems in the Lion City, then he would not be qualified to be Wavell's successor.

The current Lion City is the epitome of the British Empire.

It is not just the Lion City that is in turmoil. As the end of the world war approaches, people's minds are agitated. Similar problems have arisen in Australia, Canada, India, the Suins Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar, and even the British Isles.

If it is not handled well, Britain will not only lose the Lion City, but the entire Commonwealth may fall apart. This is a great shame for soldiers like Mountbatten and others.

When things reached this point, Mountbatten could no longer sit still and had to go find Angel.

"The discipline of the Indians under your command is too poor. The families of the Southern African Expeditionary Force were also harassed by Indian soldiers. If you can't restrain military discipline, then I will solve these problems in the Southern African way." Angel was also very angry.

, the Indians have used their dog-fighting power to the fullest and dared to harass the families of the Southern African Expeditionary Force. This is intolerable.

Although the supporting facilities at Changi Naval Base are very complete, the family members of the expeditionary force who accompany the army still like to go shopping in the Lion City. Many family members of the expeditionary force even work in the Lion City and commute between the Lion City and Changi Naval Base.

Just yesterday afternoon, a family member of the expeditionary force working in the Lion City was harassed by several drunk Indian soldiers while driving back to Changi Naval Base.

The family member of the expeditionary force, who was working as a lawyer in the Lion City, was frightened and injured an Indian soldier while driving away. Mountbatten did not know about this yet.

"I will handle this matter. You must also restrain your soldiers to avoid more serious conflicts." Mountbatten also had backup plans, so don't say he was unpredicted.

They are all at the level of military region commanders, and they definitely have tempers, and they all have distinctive personalities, and they are not the type to not fight back when they are at a disadvantage.

After all, the Lion City is a British colony and it is Mountbatten's home ground.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force is a guest force in the Lion City. In the words of Southern Africa, it is like a dragon coiled up and a tiger lying down.

An Qi was not afraid of Mountbatten's threat and didn't take it to heart at all.

There is a more serious conflict——

As long as Mountbatten is not afraid of face pain, he can come here.

Mountbatten's counterattack came very quickly. Since the officers and soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Army liked to take action when encountering injustice, Mountbatten counterattacked based on this. As long as the conflict was controlled to a certain extent, even if the Southern African Expeditionary Army suffered a loss, Mountbatten

Qi won't make a big show of it either.

In this kind of thing, whoever makes the big fuss will be embarrassed.

What Mountbatten never expected was that the Southern African Expeditionary Force did not take the bait, and it was the Americans who took the bait.

The Lion City is indeed a British colony, but the right time and place and the British do not occupy it at all. The British's opponents are not only southern Africa. MacArthur is worried that there is no chance to build his reputation.

The chance of a negotiated settlement of the Pacific War had disappeared, and MacArthur had to find another way to build his reputation.

The only thing that can really interest Americans is interests.

After the end of the World War, breaking the British colonial system was a top priority for Americans.

When the Royal Navy no longer had the advantage, Britain's colonial system was realized with Britain's ports all over the world and its control of key waterways.

MacArthur had nothing to do with matters in Europe.

In Southeast Asia, the Straits Settlements are Britain's most important colonial node.

To be honest, the discipline of American soldiers is not much better than that of Indians. Most of the time, the discipline of American soldiers is even worse than that of Indians.

The thirsty Indian soldiers have no choice but to satisfy their physiological needs.

American soldiers prefer bowmen to women, but their nature is worse than that of Indians.

This is still a question of strength.

Indians have a thieving heart but not the courage to be thieves. They cannot be robbers and are at most scoundrels.

Americans want money, money, and guns. They don't need to go round and round to do things, they go straight, showing the true nature of North American gangsters.

Due to the convenient location in southern Africa, Angel directly placed her headquarters at Changi Naval Base.

MacArthur's headquarters is in Manila, and the office of the Joint Command is in the Lion City. There are about 1,500 US military staff and troops stationed in the Lion City.

Before the Indians came to the Lion City, American soldiers were regular visitors to the Lion City’s special industries.

Mountbatten's routine was not complicated. He asked the Indian soldiers to cause trouble in the way of a king's meal, seducing the soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force to take action. Then the ambush men swarmed up and beat up the soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force who took action. As long as they did not

If someone is beaten to death, Mountbatten can respond to Angel in Angel's way.

This method is still very effective, but it is not the soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force who teach the Indians a lesson, but the Americans.

Although the Indians were not very good at fighting, the Americans were not strong in boxing and kicking skills. In addition, the Indians who took action were not very careful with their attacks. As a result, an American soldier died after being sent to the hospital.

"Why? I need an explanation." Mountbatten asked Kenny Wilson, wondering why the Americans were involved.

Mountbatten only made the decision to retaliate against the Southern African Expeditionary Force, and Kenny Wilson was responsible for implementing the plan.

"When the American soldiers were having fun, they wore uniforms similar to those of the Southern African Expeditionary Force -" Kenny Wilson also did not expect that this matter would become a bigger and bigger problem.

This can also be explained.

As mentioned earlier, the U.S. Army has always had a similar image to the beggar in the public mind. It has shabby equipment, poor training, and corrupt military discipline. It is simply a shame for North American gangs.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force has a good image, and its clothing bonus points account for a large part.

In many cases, the discipline of the Southern African Expeditionary Force was actually not very good, otherwise there would not be rumors of arrogant soldiers.

Especially during combat, the Southern African Expeditionary Force was more brutal than the US military, treated the enemy more cruelly, and cleaned the battlefield more thoroughly. There were also more serious situations, but the media did not expose them, so the public naturally did not know about them.

The clothing of the Southern African Expeditionary Force was designed by senior designers from Inteno. Both field uniforms and regular uniforms are very popular among Southern African soldiers and American soldiers.

American soldiers like the clothing of the Southern African Expeditionary Force. In addition to the fact that the expeditionary force's clothing is really cool, there are also some ulterior reasons.

The proportion of white people in the Southern African Expeditionary Force is very high. English is one of the official languages ​​and is widely used.

Going to a fireworks venue to have fun was not a pleasant thing to talk about, so some American soldiers put on the uniforms of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

This is really not to place blame on others, but to admire southern African culture and is a symbol of friendship between the United States and southern Africa.

The British didn't know this little thing about American soldiers, so they accidentally hit the passenger car and killed an American soldier. Now they were in big trouble.

"It's a gram!" Mountbatten really couldn't imagine that there was such an inexplicable mistake. The bigger problem for him now was how to explain this to the Americans.

It cannot be directly said that this is a trap aimed at the Southern African Expeditionary Force. The Americans fell in by mistake. This reason is unacceptable to the Americans.

Now Mountbatten not only has to face pressure from MacArthur, but also from the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet Halsey, because the person who died was a U.S. Navy soldier. Halsey has officially sent a letter to Mountbatten requesting

Mountbatten severely punished the murderer and gave the U.S. Pacific Fleet an explanation.

MacArthur went even further. He asked Mountbatten to hand over the murderer for review and approval by a U.S. court.

Halsey's request was still within the scope of Mountbatten's acceptance. After all, it is only natural that one kills to pay for one's life.

MacArthur wanted people, and what he wanted was the power to handle this matter. If Mountbatten handed people over to MacArthur, he would not be the governor of the Straits Settlements. It would be better for him to retire where he is.
