Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
2663 Naive or straightforward
The standard for "ethnicity" in Southern Africa is very simple. As long as you identify with Southern African culture, are willing to give up the concept of ethnicity, and completely integrate into Southern Africa, you are considered a Southern African.
It seems simple, but in fact the requirements are very strict.
It is not difficult to give up the concept of ethnic group. In Europe, except for the royal family, which has strict bloodline requirements, ordinary people have a vague concept in this regard. Even the royal family has begun to have civilian princesses appear in recent years.
Even the royal family has begun to abandon the idea of blood. Ordinary people have a vaguer concept of blood, and not every family has a throne to inherit. The statistical results of modern medicine also show that the scope of intermarriage is limited to a relatively small circle.
The development of offspring is adversely affected.
Although Arthur himself is of mixed race, the requirements for blood are very strict. In Cyprus, only those of pure Chinese descent are qualified to hold key positions. No matter how outstanding other ethnic groups are, their deputy is the ceiling.
Cyprus still attaches great importance to the visit of George VI, and has prepared a grand welcome ceremony for George VI. The Cyprus squadron was dispatched collectively to welcome the arrival of George VI.
Before the outbreak of the World War, the strength of the Cyprus Squadron ranked low among the Southern African navies, only slightly stronger than the Elizabeth Squadron.
During the World War, due to the increasing importance of Cyprus, the strength of the Cyprus Squadron was also greatly strengthened. There were four aircraft carriers alone, which had exceeded the British Mediterranean Squadron.
When George VI arrived in Cyprus, the Cyprus Squadron prepared a formation for George VI. This was definitely not a show of force, but to express respect for the king.
Arthur's title was still conferred by the King of England, so it is understandable that Arthur mobilized troops.
However, in the view of George VI, this was more or less a demonstration.
"During the World War, Southern Africa's power in the Mediterranean expanded rapidly, from a mere island in Cyprus to the current Aegean Sea, Crete, and Malta -" Winston's expression was gloomy, and he probably regretted it in his heart.
The Aegean Sea and Crete were captured from the Germans by the Southern African Expeditionary Force. There are troops stationed on Crete, but the sovereignty of the Aegean Islands is unclear. Now they are a mess.
Malta traded islands for destroyers and leased them to southern Africa.
It is a lease in name, but the term is 99 years, and after expiration, Southern Africa has priority to renew the lease.
This right of priority to renew is unilaterally mandatory. Even if the UK is not willing to lease it anymore, Southern Africa still has the power to force the lease.
"So the entire Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean already belong to the sphere of influence of southern Africa. Don't the French and Italians have any objections?" George VI was secretly frightened. His feelings in London were definitely not as real as they are now.
What is reflected in military reports is just a series of numbers, which is too confusing.
Both are aircraft carriers. The Southern African aircraft carrier and the British aircraft carrier are not the same thing. This is something that cannot be noted in military newspapers.
In addition to the aircraft carrier, the largest battleship of the Cyprus Squadron is the comprehensive supply ship, and then there are a lot of destroyers and frigates, not even a cruiser can be seen.
This is also normal.
The Mediterranean Sea is so big that there is no need for cruisers at all. In most cases, destroyers and frigates are enough, and aircraft carriers are just decorations.
In the Mediterranean area, except for Yugoslavia, they are all allies of southern Africa, and there is no threat at all.
For problems that cannot be solved by destroyers and frigates, it is useless to send aircraft carriers. This is the navy's biggest shortcoming.
"What opinions can they have? The Cyprus Squadron is not their enemy, the Communist International is!" Winston hates iron but not steel. The bourgeoisie in France and Italy, even their ruling position is in jeopardy, have no time to worry about the threat of the Cyprus Squadron.
.
Like Eastern European countries, in the elections in France and Italy, parties supported by the Communist International took advantage of each other, which made Winston particularly unacceptable.
Forget about Eastern European countries, they are all Slavs, and Russia has a natural advantage.
France and Italy are both old capitalist countries. The bourgeoisie is very powerful. In this case, the parties supported by the Communist International can take the lead. Winston doesn't know what to say.
This cannot be blamed on the fact that the French and Italians failed to live up to their expectations. The Conservative Party led by Winston both lost to the Labor Party. The reason for blaming France and Italy on this issue is really insufficient.
"Is there no Labor Party in Southern Africa?" George VI didn't know much about Southern Africa.
On this subject all English kings are alike.
If the British King had fully realized the value of southern Africa, he would not have allowed southern Africa to become independent.
This is probably the feeling of being treated with admiration after three days of separation.
"Yes, but the Southern African Labor Party was established under the leadership of the Southern African Federal Government, so the main task of the Southern African Labor Party is to maintain the rule of the Southern African Federal Government." Winston just went to Southern Africa for a tour, and every time
New discovery.
Southern Africa, like the United States, is a learning object of the British Empire.
Both of them used to be British overseas colonies, but now they have become teachers of the British Empire. Winston felt that he couldn't even talk about it.
George VI could only look up to the sky and sigh, time is not with us.
Outside the East Capet naval port, the warships of the Cyprus Squadron lined up neatly in two rows to welcome the arrival of King George VI.
On the pier, Rock and Arthur were waiting. Nearly 100,000 residents of East Cape poured in, crowding the pier. It had never been so lively.
"Send people over to provide guidance to prevent a large-scale stampede." Roque was worried that it would not be a good thing for so many people to gather together.
"We have mobilized all the police and sheriffs and applied for assistance from the Cyprus Squadron. The fleet only sent an infantry company because they have been undergoing a major disarmament recently." Arthur didn't have a good solution. This is history.
It was the first time since a British king came to Cyprus.
The king's halo has completely faded from Roark and Arthur, and there are no secrets left.
It is quite attractive to ordinary people.
Rock nodded and stopped talking. It seemed that the problem was not big.
Not all of the people on the pier were there to greet George VI, most of them were just watching the fun.
King George VI didn't know, so he subconsciously waved to the cheers when he got off the ship.
This scene was all too familiar to George VI.
Roque did not kneel down to kiss his boots, or even bow, but shook hands with King George VI as usual.
George VI was not angry either. He was not very strict about the rules.
Youdao emphasizes whatever it lacks and attaches too much importance to etiquette, which just proves that etiquette is the most lacking thing.
The key is to take the initiative.
Even if Roque doesn't come to pick up George VI, George VI still has to visit Roque honestly. This is the attitude of asking for help.
"Are you sure you are Locke and not Gavin?" The king didn't stutter at all. He shook hands and hugged Locke, and he was still joking.
In 1945, the medical level was still not developed enough.
Roque is already in his sixties, but he doesn't look old on the surface. He doesn't even have a few gray hairs. His figure is still very standard, with a tall and straight chest, and his back looks like he is forty years old at most.
George VI was born in 1895, 15 years younger than Roque, but looks older than Roque.
This can also fully prove that George VI has had a very difficult time in recent years.
"Your Majesty, welcome to Cyprus, how are you?" Roque didn't even say hello in English, but said hello in Chinese.
Rock has never forgotten that his native language is Chinese, so he uses Chinese in most social situations.
This is not a deliberate emphasis. The key is to gain confidence. Compared with English, what is the difference between Chinese and English?
It’s not bad at all. Even from a logical point of view, Chinese is far more scientific, more convenient, and more worthy of popularization than English.
English has changed a lot. New words appear every year, so there are more and more words. Most modern people can no longer understand archival materials written in English 100 years ago.
Chinese is the most scientific language in the world. Based on square characters, you can combine them at will. If you learn one or two thousand common characters, you can read and read newspapers without any obstacles.
In the same situation, if you don’t have a vocabulary of several thousand in English, you can’t even think about it.
Although George VI was well-informed, his Chinese was still blank, and all he knew was "Hello, Goodbye" and so on.
On the way to Arthur's house, we inevitably encountered another traffic jam. This time, although the traffic police arrived quickly, it took more than two hours to clear the traffic.
You can't blame others for this.
Rock has stayed in southern Africa all year round and has many fans around the world. He has long become a legend in the secular sense.
So after Roque arrived in Cyprus, tourists in Cyprus suddenly went into hiding, and there were not enough inns and hotels, so they had to open B&Bs to meet the needs of many tourists.
"Locke, I'm in trouble and I need you to help me solve it." George VI was very anxious and went straight to the point without going around in circles.
Rock has long been accustomed to this method of communication over the years.
It's pretty good, no waste of time.
"The traditional aristocracy and emerging assets are active, the Conservative Party and the Labor Party, the House of Lords and the Lower House, some people propose to attach themselves to the United States, and some propose to fully embrace southern Africa. The good news is that no one has expectations for Russia anymore." George VI didn't know what to do from there.
How to start.
The UK currently has too many shortcomings, internal and external troubles, and Roark would not know where to start.
Jet aircraft, missiles, super weapons, etc., Britain has fallen behind in too much work, and it cannot be made up for in a day or two.
The key point is that Britain is now in a state of desperate need. There are too many places that need to spend money, and George VI doesn't know how to choose.
National security is important, but the will of the people seems to be more important. If the UK has money and time, it can take its time, but unfortunately time does not wait for us.
As for Russia, Britain has now completely forgotten about it. Attlee gave a speech at Cambridge University a few days ago and admitted his mistakes on the issue of Russia.
The "Hawaiian Goose" engine is actually not important. Even without the "Hawaiian Goose", Russia will be able to make a breakthrough in jet fighters sooner or later.
Even compared to missiles and superweapons, jets are not that important.
When propeller fighters face jet fighters in combat, their performance is indeed at a disadvantage, but they can make up for it with technology.
World War II fully demonstrated Russia's war potential.
This is also an important reason why Roque agreed to meet with George VI.
"During the Tehran meeting, Prime Minister Winston and I agreed that it would be best to trap Russia in Eurasia." Roque does not blame others. Since the mistake has been made, he must face it bravely.
Despite the warnings from his previous life, Rock still made empiricist errors on issues related to Russia.
Looking back now, it is unrealistic to put Russian sailboats in Eurasia, and the problem must be solved fundamentally.
"At the end of the world war, no matter whether it is a victorious country or a defeated country, there is no real winner. Britain has suffered particularly heavy losses. We are trying every means to end it all, but unfortunately we are not strong enough." George VI is still very sincere. This is
There’s no point in hiding it, it’s better to say it openly.
"I have given Winston a promise that I will do everything possible to help the United King." Rock really didn't expect that Britain would be in such difficulty.
In another time and space, when Rock traveled through time, Britain was still a developed country, but not like it is now.
It feels like George VI is ready to abdicate at any time.
"Thank you Locke -" I don't know whether George VI was really that innocent or just pretending.
The help from southern Africa must be conditional. Britain will pay a huge price, and the conditions will not be much more lenient than those of the Americans.
After solving the biggest problem, George VI finally had the intention to shift his attention from Roark to the street scene outside the window.
Then George VI fell silent.
Nearly 5,000 people died in London last winter due to smog.
The air quality in Cyprus is ranked among the best in the world. The street view outside the car window is as clear as if it had been washed with water. This made George VI couldn't help but wonder whether Britain had made the same mistake as southern Africa when it came to Cyprus.
mistake.
Roque didn't want to speak, he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
So far, the UK remains Southern Africa's most important ally in Europe.
Although France and Italy are also important, their combined influence on Europe is about the same as that of the United Kingdom.
Six billion pounds is not a small number. Even if it is given to the British, the British will use most of it to purchase various materials related to post-war reconstruction in southern Africa.
Despite all the benefits, Rock was still hesitant, not knowing whether to provide help in times of trouble or add insult to injury.
Rock did not forget that his biggest goal all along was to break the British colonial system.
If we can help the UK get through the current most difficult situation smoothly, then if Southern Africa wants to achieve this goal in the future, it will have to work several times harder than it is now.
But it’s impossible not to help. It would be equivalent to completely pushing Britain towards the United States. ()
