Johnson can be said to be a typical example of "why not eat mincemeat". It is necessary to form a force of 200,000, let alone 5 million, and even doubling it may not be enough.
Referring to the experience in southern Africa, the Northern Rhodesian Division and the First Cavalry Division combined have about 40,000 people, and the annual salary exceeds 6 million, not counting weapons and equipment.
In terms of weapons and equipment, let’s not even talk about expensive helicopters and tanks. Let’s take the most basic rifles as an example. Let’s not even mention the semi-automatic rifles equipped by the Southern African troops. Take the old-fashioned Lee Enfield as an example.
The market price is 40 rand, which is when buying in large quantities.
Moreover, the rifle is not a one-time expenditure. It is also a consumable item. It will be worn and damaged during use, and bullets will be consumed.
Needless to say, the Republic of Congo cannot afford rifles alone.
“Secretary Johnson, we don’t have the conditions to form an army now.” President Benson Moore couldn’t bear to see Johnson humiliated. In any case, Johnson was his choice for Secretary of the Interior, although he seemed a bit stupid.
"Your Excellency, I am just giving you an example. We cannot rely entirely on Southern Africa, otherwise we will become a de facto colony of Southern Africa. This is not normal -" No matter how stupid Johnson was, he knew he was making a joke, but he still couldn't
Give up.
"Then which country do you think we should rely on? The United States? The United States is too far away - the United Kingdom? What is the difference between that and southern Africa? We are already qualified to join the League of Nations. India is not even qualified to join the League of Nations." Louis
·Ask and answer this question, the reality is so cruel.
Compared with southern Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States are actually not much better off.
Just look at India and you will know that there is absolutely no good way out if you follow the British Empire.
The same goes for the United States. There is no need to follow the United States. Just look at Mexico and you will know the consequences of being a neighbor to the United States.
Although Southern Africa has problems of one kind or another, it can at least treat the member countries of the Southern African Union with a relatively equal attitude. The Republic of Congo and Southern Africa can at least gain some profits from trade, rather than the crushing of red fruits, which is already better than Leo.
Things were much better during the reign of Pod II.
People, be content!
As for the League of Nations, although this organization has been completely different from its original intention when it was founded because it was controlled by the Commonwealth, being able to join the League of Nations still plays an important role for a country like the Republic of the Congo.
At least join the League of Nations and have a channel to make your voice heard internationally.
Although the sound is a bit weak.
But compared to being completely unable to make a sound, it is already a huge improvement.
Indians should have a deep understanding of this.
"Okay gentlemen, no matter what, southern Africa is suffering from floods. As a country of the Southern African Union, we should extend a helping hand to southern Africa -" Benson Moore concluded. He will certainly not forget how he became the
Presidential.
People, you should repay your kindness.
“Of course I believe that Southern Africa will not turn a blind eye to the difficulties we are encountering——” Benson Moore wants to use his small power to make a big difference. As an alliance leader, he must act like an alliance leader.
The next day, the Republic of Congo raised supplies equivalent to approximately R1.1 million and sent them to Victoria.
This number is very interesting. It is no more and no less than one hundred thousand more than the Kingdom of Congo.
When the news reached Pretoria, Roque and Winston were listening to a report from Adelaide, President of the Southern African Olympic Committee.
The opening of the Commonwealth Games is getting closer and closer. The United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia respectively sent officials to Pretoria to prepare for the games. Winston, regardless of the department, is really a brick. He can move it wherever it is needed. Now there are more
He was given the title of head of the British delegation.
"Of the 11 competition venues prepared for the Commonwealth Games, six have now completed the main construction and are undergoing interior decoration. The other venues are under intensive construction and will definitely be in time for the opening of the Commonwealth Games -" Adelaide
He was previously an official of the Ministry of Education and was just appointed chairman of the Olympic Committee by Roque. The Olympic Committee had also just been established.
Since Southern Africa has joined the Olympic family, it must establish an Olympic Committee.
The next Olympic Games will not be held until 1928. Rock hopes that the Olympic Committee can use the Commonwealth Games to familiarize itself with the process of holding large-scale sports events in advance.
"We are in the process of selecting athletes. Among the quotas that have been determined by the football team, the Los Angeles Eagles have selected 8 players, and the Rhodesian United has selected 5 players. It is said that Lord Rhodesia is very dissatisfied with this result. In Malan's office
Get furious—" Adelaide smiled. There were only 11 players on the football team, including the Los Angeles Eagles and Rhodesia United.
"The league is in progress. Removing eight players from the Los Angeles Hawks is equivalent to removing the entire main lineup. What will happen to the league?" Roque's attitude was completely different from Stoudemire.
Stoudemire is dissatisfied because there are too few people transferred.
Roque’s dissatisfaction is because he is worried that the Eagles’ league results will be affected.
Stoudemire is really a good person. If you think about the attitude of football clubs towards the national team in the future, you will know how difficult it is for Stoudemire to have such a mentality.

"The Football Association has decided to temporarily suspend the league during the Commonwealth Games to make way for the Commonwealth Games - this is Malan's decision -" Adelaide passed the blame.
Rock didn’t speak, and there were some words that were really hard to say in front of Winston.
"I went to see a match between Rand United and Ziwei City yesterday. It was very exciting. With the level of these two teams, you have almost booked the championship of the football match." Winston looked relaxed and came here every time.
When he went to southern Africa, Winston had new feelings.
Rand United's home ground is in Los Angeles, and Rhodesia United's home ground is in Salisbury. These are two teams.
At the beginning of the league, Rand United is the only team that can compete with the Eagles.
However, Rand United have been unable to defeat the Eagles, which prompted Stoudemire to form Rhodesia United and transfer most of the main players from Rand United.
It's a pity that despite changing the soup without changing the medicine, Rhodesia United still can't climb the mountain of the Eagles, which has become an eternal pain in Stoudemire's heart.
"You should watch the match between the Eagles and Rhodesia United. That is the pinnacle showdown between experts." Roque is full of confidence. In two months, it is estimated that the radio host will also say that famous sentence
Words: There is not much time left for the British team——
"The only problem now is that our previous estimate of the number of athletes was seriously underestimated. It is estimated that more than 2,000 athletes will participate in the Commonwealth Games. That also means that our athletes' village may not be able to accommodate so many people." Ade.
Ryder also had difficulties. After all, it was his first time hosting the Commonwealth Games and he had no experience.
2,000 people may not seem like a lot, but as a reference, in the eighth Paris Olympics that just passed, there were only 3,092 athletes when there were 44 participating countries.
The first Commonwealth Games in history was held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930. There were 11 participating countries and only 400 athletes.
“Wow, that’s a lot. There are only 3,000 people in the Olympic Games——” Winston obviously knows more about the Olympic Games than Rock.
Roque learned about the Commonwealth Games. After entering the 21st century, the number of participants was basically more than 5,000 every time.
“How many people are we?” Rock was curious, he really didn’t know these things.
Although Rock is a member of the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee, he is the only one working in the organizing committee. Those others are all elders. Rock does not dare to take action, so he can only make his own decisions in everything.
Of course Roque cannot cover everything, otherwise he would not have formed the Olympic Committee in a hurry.
"It has been confirmed that 650 people will participate in all events of the Commonwealth Games. Many events will have more than one team member, such as shooting. We have a total of 50 athletes participating." Adelaide is gearing up, and 50 people are really participating.
Not too many, not counting the National Defense Forces, just selected from the Rifle Association, I'm afraid there are more than fifty people.
"What's the comparison with this project? You sent out those special shooters during the World War, and the result is no doubt." Winston said very bitterly. British snipers are an exclusive branch of the army.
Oh oh oh, that’s red alert——
Southern Africa is part of the British Empire, so there is nothing wrong with this setting.
"It's not the same one. Shooting is divided into lying, standing, and kneeling positions. It's also divided into rifles, pistols, and flying saucers. In addition, it's divided into men and women. No matter what, we have to decide on ten or twenty gold medals--" Rock
Maximize the advantages as much as possible. Only a dozen people in a football team can get a gold medal. In shooting, the more the better.
“Why don’t you include the heavy machine gun?” Winston was simply angry. Rock would do anything to achieve good results for the Southern African team.
"What a good idea. If you include this, then add burst shooting and continuous shooting. Oh, by the way, those events just now can also be divided into rapid shooting and slow shooting. In this way, the number of gold medals can be doubled." Luo
Ke laughed, which country won the most gold medals in the last Olympic Games?
Oh, it seems to be the United States——
45 gold medals, 27 silver medals, and 27 bronze medals.
The UK seems to have only a pitiful 9 gold medals, 13 silver medals and 12 bronze medals.
This is the first Commonwealth Games, and it is held in Southern Africa. Rock's requirements are not high. Of all the medals, Southern Africa can get half of them. Of course, Rock has no objection to more medals.
“You’re so—” Winston had nothing to say, it was very British.
Just as Roque was racking his brains to win as many medals as possible in Southern Africa, selection trials for participating in the Commonwealth Games were underway across Southern Africa.
All selection competitions are held in Johannesburg. Each state has conducted its own preliminary elections. Those who have the opportunity to come to Johannesburg are the winners who have stood out through fierce competition in each state.
This also creates an opportunity for Southern Africa to hold national games. Roque is planning to hold the Southern African Games next year.
Since the Olympic Committee has been established, we cannot let the Olympic Committee idle and we must find something for them to do.
