Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Unlike officially endorsed military service societies, the Rifle Association is the most influential civil society group in southern Africa.

Members of the Military Mutual Aid Society are limited to military personnel, and outsiders cannot intervene. The Rifle Association has no requirements for membership. If you want to join, just fill out a form. Therefore, the Rifle Association has more than 20 million registered members, more than the members of the Liberal Party. It is a veritable leader in southern Africa.

The largest organization.

With its power expanding to such an extent, the federal government certainly cannot leave it alone, so in recent years the federal government has gradually tightened its control over the Rifle Association.

The current president of the Rifle Association is Alvin.

Alvin is not a member of Gavin's cabinet, but his power is no less than that of the ministers, and even far exceeds it. Now Alvin also serves as the director of Brad's office, and is jokingly called the "Crownless One" in Southern Africa.

king".

This means that Gavin and Alvin have a very good relationship and have never had any trouble.

If it were anyone else, Alvin would inevitably be jealous of the Prime Minister.

Just before this year's general election, both the People's Party and the Progressive Party had sent invitations to Alvin, hoping that Alvin could run on behalf of the People's Party or the Progressive Party.

Alvin decisively refused. He did not want to appear in public as Prime Minister. He preferred to be an "uncrowned king" outside the federal government. If anyone dared to make irresponsible remarks about Gavin's appointment as Prime Minister, Alvin would give the ultimate answer.

Violent methods let him know what Nyasaland Iron Fist is.

Although Roque has resigned as Prime Minister, his affairs are still very busy. Gavin seems to have some opinions on Nikola Tesla. This year's budget is not so sufficient. Nikola Tesla went directly to North Tanganyi.

Hey, complain to Roque.

"The remote-controlled heavy unmanned bomber project has reached the most critical stage. Now we only need to make a final push, and we can enter a new era. At this time, we need stronger support. If we don't advance against the current, we will retreat. If we cannot achieve

If you lead, you will be left behind by the Americans and Russians." Tesla was very angry. After Gavin reviewed the funding of the Tesla Research Institute, he directly cut the funding of the Tesla Research Institute in half.

Rock was also helpless.

The remote-controlled heavy unmanned bomber project was the first project that Tesla applied for after coming to southern Africa. It has been more than 20 years ago.

Through Roark alone, the amount of funds invested in the remote-controlled heavy unmanned bomber project in the past two decades has exceeded 1 billion rand.

For comparison, the Manhattan Project only cost $2 billion.

What left Rock speechless was that a full billion rand was invested in the remote-controlled heavy unmanned bomber project but it failed to succeed.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed, because the other technologies derived from this project are enough for the federal government to recover the cost, so Rock can endure it.

For that reason, as an emperor and a courtier, Rock could tolerate Nikola Tesla, but Gavin could not.

Most likely it’s not intolerable, most likely it’s just a slap in the face so that Nikola Tesla can have some snacks. You can’t just use this project to “defraud funds” for twenty years.

"I've heard what you said countless times. Can you find a fresher reason? Just the United States, does Russia have any outstanding achievements in the field of artificial intelligence?" Rock didn't want to interfere with Gavin's decision. Tes

Sometimes it is indeed excessive. At most, only half of the funds allocated by the federal government to the Tesla Research Institute are actually used on the remote-controlled heavy unmanned bomber project.

The remaining half was not wasted by Tesla, but used in other research projects, such as weightless aircraft.

In 1928, Tesla proposed a new research project called the Counter-Electromagnetic Area Propulsion System, which was simply a flying saucer.

The remote-controlled heavy unmanned bomber project still has the possibility of success, but a gravity-free aircraft is too science fiction. Rock felt that this project was another bottomless pit, so he did not approve it.

Tesla was not a quitter. He would divert money from other projects when there was no money. He also diverted researchers from other projects. The key was that he was not sneaky and had no intention of covering up. This made Rock very embarrassed.

When Rock brought Nikola Tesla to southern Africa from the United States, he personally promised Tesla that there would be no restrictions on Tesla's research projects and funding.

Facts have proved that Roark seriously underestimated Tesla's ability to get things done.

"Russia's institutional advantages are unparalleled. It allows the Russian government to fully integrate resources and achieve major breakthroughs in a certain field in a short period of time. Don't underestimate the scientific research capabilities of the Russians. Remember Marconi and I's telegraph patent

Was it a dispute? At that time, Russia’s research progress in this field was actually no less than that of Marconi and I, and the Russians were fully qualified to participate.” Tesla spoke highly of Russia’s scientific research capabilities, which Rock did not expect.

of.

Rock also made an empiricist error. He never connected Russia with science. When he mentioned Russia, he only thought of European steamrollers or European military police.

In terms of pure scientific research capabilities, Russia cannot be underestimated. Mendeleev, who created the periodic table of elements, was a Russian. The first heavy bomber in human history was also invented by Russia. At that time, southern Africa and Europe were still keen on flying across the English Channel.

Woolen cloth.

"That only represents the past. Maybe for so many years, the Russians have been sleeping on their laurels." Roque has never regarded Russia as an opponent, the United States has.

Compared with Russia, the United States is the real threat in southern Africa.

No matter how powerful Russia is, its influence will be difficult to break through the blockade set up by Britain, France, the United States, and South Korea.

The United States and southern Africa are both in the capitalist camp, and the cost of penetrating southern Africa is much smaller than that of Russia. This is what the Hebrews are best at.

The Hebrews have been wandering for thousands of years, like rats crossing the street wherever they go. The fundamental reason is that they have such a bad reputation.

Now that the United States has become the stronghold of the Hebrews, the Hebrews have learned from the experience and finally made changes. This is not a good thing for the whole world.

“When the Russo-German war first broke out, Russia was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. I don’t know if you have noticed that in just two years, Russia has made rapid improvements in industrial manufacturing, and its industrial design and manufacturing levels have ranked among

It is world-class. Compared with other countries, Russia’s institutional advantages are unparalleled, including ours in southern Africa.” Tesla must have exaggerated in order to exaggerate Russia’s threat.

However, compared to the capitalist system, Russia does have great institutional advantages, especially in scientific research.

The reason why Southern Africa has developed so fast in the past few decades has a lot to do with Southern Africa's size advantage. Thanks to Roque's efforts, almost all major projects in Southern Africa in recent years have been led by the federal government.

, no one knows this better than Rock.

The reason why Tesla has become a "demigod" in southern Africa has a lot to do with the full support of the federal government. Tesla also understands this deeply, so Tesla ranks the threat from Russia before the United States.

.

"No, Russia's industrial level will never catch up with southern Africa, and the gap will get wider and wider." Roque is still very confident on this point.

The success of the system is also the failure of the system. During the Potsdam Conference, Big Beard gave Roque an Easter egg from the Tsar's Flower Basket. There is a story behind this egg. It was an Easter gift from Tsar Nicholas II to Queen Alexandra.

The eggs are very beautifully made and are the proud work of the famous goldsmith, jewelry maker, and arts and crafts designer Peter Carl Faberge. Rock likes them very much.

Easter eggs are expensive, but they cannot be mass-produced, so the benefits they can bring to Russia are limited.

The ornaments produced by Inteno may not be as collectible as Easter eggs, but the products produced by Inteno can be copied and can be supplied to more people. Therefore, for a country, companies like Inteno are obviously more valuable.

Russia's biggest problem is that it has a leader who loves success, which brings huge hidden dangers to Russia. If Southern Africa can effectively take advantage of this, it can drag Russia down alive.

Russia is so large that a single method is completely ineffective. Unless the Russians take the initiative to admit defeat, it is unlikely to defeat them head-on.

"Rock, I think you are too optimistic. For example, super weapons, I think the Russians may have them in two or three years." Tesla reminded Rock not to underestimate the Russians.

"This is indeed possible, but if the Russian government wants to raise the living standards of all Russians to a level similar to that of families in southern Africa, it is basically impossible." Rock only now understands why Americans say that if more than one billion

It would be unbearable for the Chinese people in our world to live the same life as Americans.

It is indeed unbearable. Americans take away 50% of a cake. If southern Africa also takes 50%, how can we let other countries drink from the northwest wind?

Roque knows that Russia's heavy industry has great potential, and its light industry is not without potential, but has been ignored, or has different purposes.

A simple example, such as the cars produced by Nyasaland Heavy Industries, if the quality is so good that they don’t break down at all, then consumers will have no desire to consume, so they can only start from other aspects. It is best to have a three-year warranty period.

If it passes, the car will be scrapped.

Russian companies have no concerns in this regard. It is best for everyone to own a car that never breaks down, so Russian products will always have problems of one kind or another.

The Ford Model T, with its low price and high sales volume, has been selling well in the United States for many years. However, it has been steadily losing ground under the attack of Southern African cars with increasingly cool looks and beautiful interiors. Its market share in the United States has been less than 100%.

Thirty percent, which is directly cut in half compared to the peak figure of 60%.

If Russia goes all out, it can indeed achieve a breakthrough in super weapons within three or two years.

But Russian car companies will never be able to catch up with the pace of southern African car companies.

"Your Excellency, you have fallen. Where has the high-spirited young man gone?" Tesla lamented sadly. He lamented not that he was getting old, but that the support he received from the federal government was not as strong as before.

"Nicholas, we are all old, and the future belongs to young people." Rock was not fooled. This guy even dared to offend Morgan in order to defraud funds, and he was a habitual offender in Rock's case.

"It's just that you are old, but I am not!" Tesla refused to accept his old age and wanted to fight for another 20 years.

Rock is actually not too old. A leader in his sixties or less than seventy years old can actually be described as in his prime. If Gavin doesn't do a good enough job, Rock might be able to do so in a few years.

Can you go out and clean up the mess?

Tesla is indeed old. He was born in 1956 and is almost 90 years old. His physical strength and energy are not as good as before. However, he is still a workaholic. In order to protect Tesla's health, Tesla's medical team

Tesla was banned from entering the laboratory a few years ago and can only be taught remotely.

For such an old guy, Rock couldn't wait to surrender him. Those weird and wonderful pictures that often appeared in his mind might change the world.

Tesla's character was not to give up until he achieved his goal, and he tried to persuade Roark to restore funding for Tesla's laboratory.

Rock took Tesla to visit the plantation, allowing Tesla to intuitively experience the value of money.

Tesla is good at spending money, but not very good at making money. Even if the research institute has results, they are all submitted to the federal government for processing. Money is meaningless to Tesla. He has not touched cash in more than ten years.

Now, I never take money with me when I go out.

"You know, the price of an acre of plantations here is only 12 rand -" Roque is actually dissatisfied with the Tesla Research Institute.

The staff of the institute are highly paid. Even the cleaning staff's salary is ten times higher than that of street sweepers outside.

The vast majority of cleaning staff in Southern African cities are foreign workers hired from neighboring countries. They are not only hard-working but low-paid, and their work attitudes are much better than those of Southern Africans.

Even if Southern Africans go to the municipal government to find jobs, they will not be assigned to sweep the streets. There are many good positions with easy work and high pay.

Although Roark does not limit the budget of the Tesla Research Institute, it does not mean that he has no objections.

"Hurry up, don't think I don't know that the entire Tanganyika and Southwest Africa were snatched from the hands of the Germans. You confiscated all the plantations that the Germans worked so hard to open up, and then sold them at low prices to

Veterans of World War I, is there any cost to you?” Tesla revealed that Southern Africa has grown from the original seven continents to more than 20 states in just a few decades, thanks to the Germans.

contribute.

Southwest Africa and Tanganyika alone are now divided into four states, and Walvis Bay has become a special city directly under the federal government, a privilege that only a few cities can obtain.

"Millions of Southern African Expeditionary Forces participated in the First World War. This is the reward they deserve. The federal government has already paid the cost." Rock disagreed with Tesla's words. What does "robbed" mean?

, that was what the League of Nations begged for a Mandate in Southern Africa.
