The situation that the British Empire is experiencing now has been experienced by the Netherlands and Spain. Both of them have become yesterday's flowers. We can only recall the past glory of the empire in our dreams.
Otherwise, the glory of the Chinese lies here. The empire established by the Chinese was once invaded by foreign enemies and was on the verge of national annihilation. However, the Chinese were able to rise again from the ruins. Today, only the four major ancient civilizations remain.
This one speaks for itself.
Roque doesn't speak the truth. Southern Africa is the most philistine businessman. If you want to obtain the corresponding technology, you have to pay the corresponding price. You can't do it with nothing.
Hubert Gough couldn't find any chance here in Rock, but Hubert Gough had his own ideas. There was a British-appointed governor in southern Africa. Kitchener was Hubert Gough's last resort.
When he arrived at the Governor's Palace, Hubert Gough was in a trance for a moment.
How should I put it? From the front, the Governor's Palace in Kitchingna, after so many years of repairs and repairs, looks almost like a smaller Potala Palace.
You don’t need to go there to see how spectacular the Potala Palace is. You can tell by looking at the photos, and the Governor’s Palace in Kitchinna is no less impressive.
Like the Potala Palace, the Governor's Palace in Kitchinna is also built on the mountains. The mountains surround the central towers and pavilions, and there are various carved railings and jade inlays. In order to build the Governor's Palace in Kitchinna, southern Africa specially transported several dozen
Thousands of tons of yellow marble. Compared with white marble, yellow marble has a more primitive sense of age, which is stable and deep.
Walking up the steps of the Government House, Hubert Gough felt as if he were on a pilgrimage. This is really not an exaggeration. This is Kitchener's position in the hearts of British soldiers, especially the Army, whose position is irreplaceable.
Kitchener is still very enthusiastic about Hubert Gough. After all, Hubert Gough is a rising star in the British Army. As a junior, Hubert Gough also respects Kitchener. The topic between the two starts from
The newly formed Air Department began.
Speaking of the British Air Ministry, as early as 1911, before the outbreak of the world war, the British established the Royal Engineers Aviation Battalion. At that time, the aviation battalion also had a hot-air balloon unit.
During the World War, Britain established the Royal Air Force, and its commander at the time was Hugh Montagu Trenchard, who had participated in the Second Boer War.
After the end of the World War, the United Kingdom established the Air Ministry, thus establishing the Air Force's status in the British War Department.
"The role of the air force in future wars will skyrocket. Our military construction can refer to Southern Africa. During the World War, Southern Africa proposed the concept of 'air dominance', just like our traditional 'sea dominance'. Who will control the battlefield in the future?"
Whoever controls the airspace will win the final victory." Kitchener still had feelings for the British Empire and taught Hubert Gough everything he could.
The biggest change that the world war brought to Kitchina was Kitchina's view on new weapons. Kitchina had never thought so before. Before the outbreak of the world war, Kitchina, like Haig, had the same view on all weapons.
New weapons are viewed with suspicion.
"The War Department has conducted many exercises in recent years. The role of the Air Force is indeed very important. The Navy Department has also increased the proportion of air defense weapons on warships in response to the threat of the Air Force. This time we want to cooperate with Southern Africa to produce aircraft. That is also
Out of emphasis on the Air Force, it's a pity that Southern Africa -" Hubert Gough hesitated. The attitude of Southern Africa is actually Rock's attitude. Hubert Gough would still blush if he said bad things about Rock behind his back.
of.
"Southern Africa's reaction is normal. Today, Southern Africa is no longer a colony of the British Empire. In order to develop aircraft, Southern Africa has invested a lot of energy, massive funds, and countless scientific researchers. These investments will definitely need to be returned. If it were you
As the Minister of Defense for Southern Africa, I will not give it away." Kitchina was also very depressed. There was a time when the British Empire would not compromise so much and just ask for what it wanted.
Not giving?
Then just grab it!
This is the way of thinking in the British Empire.
It is a pity that the glory of the British Empire has gone forever, and traditional soldiers like Kitchina do not dare to use force lightly, especially when facing rising stars like southern Africa.
"Yesterday Lord Nyasaland and I inspected the military airport, and Lord Nyasaland demonstrated a brand-new military weapon. What I am worried about now is, how many brand-new weapons like helicopters are there in southern Africa?
"Hubert Gough felt unfathomable about the war potential of southern Africa. In the past, human resources were the biggest limitation in southern Africa. Now it seems that this only shortcoming can be completely made up in southern Africa within ten years.
By then, southern Africa may be even more troublesome.
"Don't tell me, I don't know either. Locke is a far-sighted person. I knew from the time he bought the bullet production line that this guy would become a blockbuster sooner or later." Kitchina is just thinking about it after the fact. He really had to see out Locke so early.
Due to the danger, Kitchina may have already started to deal with Roque.
That is not easy. When Rock purchased the bullet production line, he was already a Baron of Nyasaland and entered the ranks of the nobility. If he wanted to target a nobleman without any evidence, then what awaited Kitchener would be a counterattack by the entire aristocracy.
"Lord Harewood's place——" Hubert Gough was still thinking about Adelaide's idea.
"Alfred was kinder to Locke than to his own son - no, Alfred didn't have a son, but he did have a nephew who worked beside Locke." Kitchener directly cut off Hubert Gough's words.
Think about it, Ade is different from Kitchener, he has become a complete southern African.
"Marshal, if possible, I still hope that Southern Africa can cooperate with the Ministry of War to produce advanced weapons such as aircraft and helicopters locally. Even if it costs more, it is worth it." Hubert Gough is not here.
We are entangled in the issue of Germany, and we hope that Kitchener can use its remaining heat.
"I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee the result." Kitchina didn't make a promise, and Roque couldn't convince him with just a few words.
"Thank you, Marshal -" Hubert Gough thanked him sincerely. If Kitchener came forward, it might really be effective.
The next day, Kitchener invited Roque to feed the fish at the Governor's Mansion.
That's right, just feeding the fish. Roque has no interest in hunting, fishing and other sports that the nobles love. The purpose of supporting football is to improve the physical quality of Nyasaland people.
By the way, in the Los Angeles Football League, the Eagles won the final championship.
Nyasaland will start the Intercontinental League this year. A total of 18 teams will start a nine-month long season. Los Angeles City has become the biggest winner, with a total of four teams qualified to participate in the Intercontinental League.
It should be noted here that the teams participating in the Nyasaland Intercontinental League, in addition to the Nyasaland team, there is also a team belonging to Salisbury and a team belonging to Lourenço Marquez.
, in addition to these two teams, there are more cities trying to join the Nyasaland Intercontinental League. It is estimated that by next year, the Intercontinental League can be upgraded to the National League in Southern Africa.
Roque went to the appointment on time, and Kitchener also invited Ade. On this issue, Ade can still play a role.
After all, Adelaide did not want to see the British Empire reduced to this level.
"It's not that I don't want to help, Marshal. Retief and I have discussed this issue. If the fighter jets are produced locally, the final cost of the fighter jets may be much higher than the Ministry of War expected. In this case, it is better to buy it directly from southern Africa.
It’s not like we don’t sell them, let alone pass them off as inferior ones. The fighter jets we sell to the Air Force are the same model as those used by the Southern African Air Force.” Rock really wasn’t lying. Just look at the cost of building warships in the UK and Southern Africa.
, the cost of the same aircraft carrier in the UK is about twice that of southern Africa.
Don’t think that only Hubert Gough and Kitchener have considered this issue. The current War Secretary John Jellicoe is not stupid either. After the end of the world war, he considered producing aircraft carriers in the UK.
After calculating the results, what embarrasses everyone is that the cost of producing aircraft carriers in the UK will be more than twice that of purchasing them from southern Africa.
And the production speed is not as fast as in southern Africa.
What John Jellicoe couldn't accept even more was that even the quality was not guaranteed.
Then no one mentioned it again.
The same goes for aircraft. Not to mention the complexity of producing aircraft, which is no less than building large warships such as aircraft carriers and battleships. If the cost is calculated, it is probably not as cheap as buying it directly from southern Africa. Southern Africa is not only
Not only are human resources cheaper, but the advantages in raw materials are also huge.
"The same model? So what happened to the air force transfers at Walvis Bay and Port Edward in the recent period?" Kitchina didn't believe Rock's lies. Rock indeed would not sell the most backward aircraft to London.
, but we will never sell the most advanced aircraft to London.
Because if it were replaced by Kitchin sodium, it would be Rock, and Kitchin sodium would not do the same.
This makes people very embarrassed, and it doesn't matter. As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
"Routine training -" Roque said with a pure face. The training of the Southern African Army is indeed very frequent and intense, and it is normal for the Air Force to transfer.
"Alfred, look at it, this is the good student you taught." Kitchina was not polite and even complained about Ade.
————
"Haha." Ade seemed as if he hadn't heard anything. Isn't that strange? The British Empire often did this kind of thing.
ps: Sorry for being late, my body has not fully recovered yet. I originally wanted to be lazy today, but after thinking about it, I can’t treat you big brothers like this. You are already so drunk. I still have to guarantee two chapters a day——
