No matter how expensive a sports car is, it cannot sell as much as a main battle tank.
The most expensive sports car in the world in the 21st century costs less than 100 million. The cost of building an Arjun in India is more than 8.8 million US dollars.
Yes, don't worry about which one is more expensive. Bringing Arjun out is just to blackmail India.
The Mercury engine is a high-performance aviation engine specially developed by Nyasaland Airlines for the Southern African Air Force. The first three generations of engines were all air-cooled radial engines. The fourth-generation engine was changed to a liquid-cooled in-line engine with an unprecedented power of 950 horsepower. This is also
For the first time, the bomb load of the "Haste" fighter jet exceeded one thousand rounds, and it can also carry a 500kg aerial bomb. Its performance is unmatched in the world.
In addition to the engine, the "Hast" also applies more advanced technologies. It is the world's first all-metal fuselage fighter, with only the control wing using fabric cloth.
It has retractable landing gear, two 12.7 mm caliber aviation machine guns, and if an auxiliary fuel tank is installed, it can completely perform escort missions for large long-range four-engine bombers.
In fact, it's okay even if no auxiliary fuel tanks are added. The Southern African Air Force has now made a breakthrough in aerial refueling technology. After this technological breakthrough, the Southern African Air Force can theoretically conduct global operations and is no longer limited by the combat radius.
Of course, we can't go to such lengths. Even if the plane can withstand it, the pilot can't. The cost of training a pilot is more expensive than an airplane. Even if Southern Africa has the largest number of pilots with the highest quality in the world, it can't be wasted like this.
Itano Balbo is very smart. A few months ago he knew nothing about the air force. Now he is the fastest pilot in the world.
This kind of learning ability is also quite terrifying. As he learns more and more about the Air Force, Itano Balbo becomes more and more in awe of southern Africa.
After leaving Sidney Milner's office, Itano Balbo took the Lord's car back to his hotel.
This is the Lord car using the latest 12-cylinder engine, which is only available in southern Africa in the world.
Lord cars have always been famous for their luxury and performance. The interior decoration of the car is definitely perfect by today's standards. Lying on the comfortable leather sofa, the continuous roar of the engine lingers in your ears. No matter from every aspect,
Lord cars are perfectly in line with Itano Balbo's aesthetic.
Unfortunately, due to the speed limit in Pretoria, the 12-cylinder engine cannot exert its full strength, but fortunately, the comfort is still very good.
Of course, even if the accelerator is pressed to the bottom, Itano Balbo probably doesn't feel much special. The car's push-back feeling is completely indifferent to the pilot.
Itano Balbo has a refreshing feeling about the city of Pretoria. Unlike those Italian cities with long history and profound historical heritage, Pretoria is too young and does not have that kind of mottled appearance.
Old ancient city walls, castles with deep courtyards without big trees to block the sky, most of the buildings in this city are as vibrant and sunny as the people in this city.
To be honest, Itano Balbo actually doesn't like the history and heritage that the people of the Old World are proud of, but prefers Pretoria's sharp innovation.
Of course, Pretoria is not without its heritage. The city is full of parks and squares. Museums, libraries, theaters, cinemas and other cultural facilities can be found everywhere. The magnificent Crown Stadium and City Garden Stadium make Itano...
Balbo easily forgot the dilapidation and vicissitudes of the ancient Colosseum in Rome.
Yes, in the eyes of Itano Balbo, the half-collapsed Colosseum can only be used to commemorate its former power.
And Pretoria represents hope for the future.
"Sooner or later, we will build Rome like Pretoria." After saying these words, Itano Balbo himself felt a sense of absurdity.
Isn’t it said that “all roads lead to Rome”?
But why does Itano Balbo feel that all roads lead to Pretoria?
"God would be jealous of the advantages of southern Africans," lamented Major General Rodolfo Graziani, Balbo's deputy. He served in Italy's North African colonies, which were also in Africa. There was still a gap between the North African colonies and southern Africa.
Of course, if Rodolfo Graziani knew that the land in North Africa also contained oil that was no less than Port Elizabeth, then Rodolfo Graziani would not have said this.
Unfortunately, only Rock in the world knows about oil.
"No matter how powerful Southern Africa is, it is just the next United States. The center of the world is still the Mediterranean. This will never change." Balbo has an inexplicable self-confidence unique to Italians. He lets others be strong, and the breeze blows on the mountains.
I just don’t accept it.
"The French are also in Pretoria, do you want to create some trouble for the French?" Rudolf didn't like the French. Italy's North African colonies bordered France's North African colonies, and there were constant disagreements on weekdays.
"The biggest trouble for the French is the French themselves. We have already taken the lead in the arms race. Now we just need to move forward according to our plan so that we can maintain our leading position." Balbo did not want to cause trouble. He also wanted to
Stay in Pretoria for a while to increase your understanding of southern Africa.
Now is not 20 years ago. No ambitious country in the world would ignore southern Africa.
The Italians were also overjoyed when Southern Africa broke away from the Commonwealth. Without the help of Southern Africa, the United Kingdom would be unable to survive alone. This was also clearly reflected in the Mediterranean.
When Southern Africa was still in the Commonwealth, the Mediterranean Squadron of Southern Africa and the Mediterranean Squadron of the Royal Navy held regular joint exercises in May and June every year.
This also causes countries around the Mediterranean to be nervous in May and June every year, especially for Italy. In May and June every year, the Italian Navy is in a state of first-level combat readiness.
Although the joint exercises will still be held as scheduled after Southern Africa breaks away from the Commonwealth, the two Mediterranean fleets can no longer cooperate as closely as before. Suspicion is like a thorn. Once planted, it will take root and sprout. Southern Africa will secede.
The Commonwealth is a loss for the United Kingdom, but it is a good thing for other countries outside the United Kingdom.
Returning to the Rhodesia Hotel in the city center, the huge orange, white and blue tricolor flag hanging in front of the hotel made Balbo feel dazed for a moment. The National Day of Southern Africa has passed for a long time, but this flag has not been taken down. Every other
They will be replaced with new ones every week. The Rhodes family is really rich.
When Balbo got off the car, Paul Reno was saying goodbye to Ada at the door of the hotel.
Balbo was not surprised. Ada was of French origin and the only female minister in southern Africa. If Paul Reynold ignored this relationship, then Paul Reynold would not be a qualified politician.
In front of Ada, Paul Reno must have behaved gracefully. He smiled and personally opened the door for Ada and watched the car that Ada was riding in leave. When he looked back and saw Balbo, he was instantly as cold as ice.
"Hello Paul, the weather is nice today. I hope you are in a good mood." Balbo greeted Renault with a smile. Everyone is competing. We are all civilized people and we must be polite.
"I'm in a good mood every day, especially when I don't see some annoying guys." Paul Reno was not angry. He should have known that Italy and Southern Africa had reached a cooperation agreement, and Pretoria actually also
Not big, news spreads very quickly.
"Hahahaha, I know you are jealous of me, but it doesn't matter. I forgive your offense because I am a generous person." Balbo didn't take it seriously. The stinginess of the French has put France in a passive position more than once.
It's a pity that the French never learn their lessons.
"Two 'Madagascar' class aircraft carriers and four 'Veneto' class battleships. Are you sure that with Italy's strength, it has the ability to complete this plan at the same time?" Paul Reno was indeed jealous of the French Navy's shipbuilding plan.
It really pales in comparison to Italy.
The "Madagascar" class aircraft carrier is actually an upgraded version of the "Elizabeth" class aircraft carrier. Southern Africa has already left the Commonwealth, so it is difficult to continue to use the name "Elizabeth", so the newly built aircraft carriers after leaving the Commonwealth are all named "Madagascar"
” instead.
Madagascar is the largest island in Africa and the fourth largest island in the world. The name used by Southern Africa has a profound meaning. For Southern Africa, an aircraft carrier is an island that will never sink.
"Whether we can complete it or not is our business in Italy. Keep your eyes open and watch. There can only be one strongest country in the Mediterranean." Balbo is quite self-aware.
"Yes, but it will only be France!" Renault would not lose to anyone.
While Balbo and Reno were bickering, Ada had already arrived at Sidney Milner's office.
"Ma'am, you're embarrassing me like this." Sidney Milner respected Ada, not just because of Ada's relationship with Rock.
Ada is not a flower vase.
As the female finance minister of Southern Africa, Ada is also a financial giant in Southern Africa. She has shares in multinational companies such as Rand Bank, Rhodesia Bank, and Nyasaland Company, and has hundreds of millions of funds that can be mobilized at any time.
Although there is a gap between top rich people like Roque and Stoudemire, they are no worse than Henry and Irving.
Yes, although Henry doesn't want to admit it, Fawalt Steel Group has gradually fallen behind compared with the two large companies in Nyasaland and Rhodesia.
However, Henry is not worried. The significance of steel to industry does not need to be emphasized. As long as he firmly controls the Fawalt Steel Group, Henry will have enough say.
"Sidney, we will make some concessions in the contract, but we will be compensated in other ways." Ada will not engage in loss-making business.
