To deal with an old disrespectful person like Ade, you have to be an old ** like Hopkins.
Hopkins didn't follow Adelaide's behavior at all, and Rock still cared about keeping the family scandal in public, so Hopkins argued with Adelaide at the top of his lungs, with countless f's and s's in between.
indescribable words.
In just a quarter of an hour, Hopkins came back victorious, as proud as if he had won a big battle, but looking back, he had his own little plan.
"Locke, you are so talkative. It's obviously the money we worked hard to get, so why should we build an office building for the Legislative Council? Our Ministry of National Defense still doesn't have its own office building -"
"How much do you want to get back?" Rock understood what Hopkins meant, but now that there is so much money, he really needs to spend his money sparingly.
"Half the family!" Hopkins said proudly. The quarrel cost him a million dollars. The quarrel was worth it.
"Leave the problem of the office building to me and solve it within a week." Roque took care of everything. In Pretoria, Roque was very capable.
Rock went back to Henry and asked Henry to give up the police station and give it to the Ministry of National Defense as the office of the Ministry of National Defense.
Henry definitely disagrees. The police station in Pretoria is located in the center of Pretoria, right next to the Church Square. When Roque and Henry came to Pretoria together, the whole of Pretoria,
In addition to the Palace of Justice in Adelaide and the municipal building opposite the Palace of Justice, the police station is the most complete and largest building complex.
In the past few years, Rock has been busy transforming Johannesburg, and Henry has not been idle either.
The current Pretoria Police Station is larger than before. Although the main building has been renovated, it only has three floors, but it is 30 meters high. It looks no less impressive than the Palace of Justice. It is used as a defense building
The office location is really suitable.
"The Ministry of National Defense has moved into the police station, so where do you want the police department to work?" Henry is now the Minister of Justice, and the police department is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Justice. As long as Henry agrees, the police department will have to move.
However, it is not easy to move. The Pretoria Police Station used to be the headquarters of the Transvaal Police System. There are thousands of patrol police, commandos, and civilian personnel in total. It is not easy for so many people to move.
Small projects.
The key is that there is no suitable place.
Pretoria is now the capital of the Transvaal state and the political capital of the Southern African Federation. Ad, Philip, and the Transvaal City Government all have their offices in Pretoria, so it is necessary to
Finding a suitable office location is really not easy.
Only Rock could make such a request to Henry. If it had been anyone else, Henry would have served tea to see off the guests.
"Find another place to build it. Don't say that the police station has no money." Roque must understand the situation. The richest unit in southern Africa is the police station. Just look at the office building of the police station.
"It's not a matter of money. The Ministry of National Defense has two or three kittens and puppies in Pretoria. The headquarters and general staff are both in Nyasaland. Pretoria is just an empty shell. You want to be so big?"
Are there so many staff in our office?" Henry despised Rock's behavior. When he stopped working in the police system, he began to unscrupulously poach the corners of the police system.
"What should we do?" Roark didn't really ask the police station to move. Speaking of which, Roark's territory is in Johannesburg, and Henry is the local boss in Pretoria.
"Okay, leave this problem to me, I promise to satisfy the Minister." Henry was helpless. Hopkins is Henry's father-in-law. For Lacey's sake, Henry should also solve Hopkins' problems.
.
Henry probably still remembered that Hopkins kicked Henry out of the army, so he deliberately ignored Hopkins.
Even if Hopkins is an old lady, he is still someone who wants to lose face. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to go to Henry for this matter.
Rock is the most suitable candidate, and maybe this will ease the relationship between Henry and Hopkins.
After getting the money, Roque couldn't wait to return to Nyasaland. Now Pretoria also makes Roque feel depressed. The bureaucracy is getting more and more serious. Nyasaland is better.
Two and a half million is actually not much. After placing an order with the Nyasaland Arsenal, paying the fees for the umbrella company, and then signing a contract with Christian Construction Company, there will be very little left.
Of course, if you spend a lot of money, the effect will still be good. At least the Northern Rhodesian Division and the First Cavalry Division are fully equipped. The formal establishment of the southern African army is 15,000 people for one division and 30,000 people for two divisions.
, faced with the 50,000 German troops in Tanganyika, Rock was able to deal with it calmly.
The intelligence coming from Germany is that in mid-January, three newly formed German divisions have boarded ships and sailed to Tanganyika, and are expected to arrive in Tanganyika in mid-February.
From this time, we can see how difficult it is for Germany to support Tanganyika.
Rock is also mobilizing troops. After the establishment of the Southern African Federation, the Transvaal is in a central position, and the defense pressure is greatly reduced. Relying on the police forces of Pretoria and Johannesburg, plus the militia groups in the two places, is enough to ensure the Transvaal.
The safety of Transvaal was ensured, so there was no need for the 1st Cavalry Division to be stationed in the Transvaal.
In order to cope with the pressure from Southwest Africa, Roque transferred the Johannesburg Cavalry Regiment to garrison in the city of Rhodes in Bechuanaland.
Previously, Southwest Africa deployed a large number of troops to support Tanganyika, but now the territory is empty of troops. The Johannesburg Cavalry Regiment is sufficient to respond to any provocation from Southwest Africa, and can even exert pressure on Southwest Africa in turn.
The Pretoria Rifles were transferred to Salisbury, Rhodesia and Portuguese West Africa, bordering the Belgian Congo. However, the Portuguese and Belgians did not dare to cause trouble in southern Africa. Lessons from the Portuguese East Africa
Put there, if Roque didn't cause trouble to the Portuguese and Belgians, the Portuguese and Belgians would be in high esteem.
The Ziwei Motorized Infantry Regiment, which has the strongest combat effectiveness and the best equipment, was transferred to Little Rock. As Rock's biggest trump card, coupled with the Nyasaland Assault Regiment originally stationed in Little Rock, Rock finally had a
It has a mobile force of nearly ten thousand people.
While the German government and southern Africa were frequently mobilizing troops, the Fort Glory rebels in Tanganyika were also developing rapidly.
Now it is no longer appropriate to use the term "Gloryburg Rebels". Mumu has officially adopted the banner of "Zanzibar". Newspapers in southern Africa and the UK began probably after the Battle of Fort Helmut.
Use the neutral term "Gloryburg Troops" to replace the derogatory term "Gloryburg Rebels".
This was an open and honest expression of support for Mumu. The German government immediately launched a series of protests. However, the British Foreign Office cited "freedom of speech" as an excuse and ignored the German government's protests.
Just kidding, what British newspapers are most keen on reporting are all kinds of gossip about the royal family, followed by the various incompetences of the British government. Those professional writers in London publish articles in newspapers every day.
He looked as unscrupulous as if he was drunk. He would pull out the Prime Minister and members of the upper and lower houses of the House of Representatives to scold him and comment on Tanganyika.
The British government is still mocking the German government for its lack of magnanimity in an understatement. In other words, it is also mocking the German government for its incompetence. The size of the Fort Glory troops in Tanganyika now exceeds 50,000, and the German government is patchwork
Can the three newly built divisions really put down the rebellion in Tanganyika?
Don't do it. The British mobilized 440,000 troops to eliminate the Boers, but ultimately failed to achieve the goal. If Germany could stabilize the situation with only 50,000 troops, it would further reflect the incompetence of the British government.
Or the incompetence of the British troops.
Therefore, during this period, London newspapers were most interested in discussing whether Germany deserved the title of "the world's best army".
As a result, the mysterious troops who stole the show in the Battle of Helmut Castle were brought out to speak out again. Although Mumu insisted that all those participating in the Battle of Helmut Castle were Glory Castle troops, no one believed this statement.
The ability of British newspapers to catch the wind and make things come alive is something worth writing about.
Almost all newspapers are pointing suspicion at Nyasaland, intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, Winston jumped out again and greatly enhanced his presence. In an exclusive interview with "The Times", Winston praised the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, although Winston did not speak directly.
Responding to whether the mysterious force in the Battle of Fort Helmut was a southern African force, but in Winston's words, only the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division can be called the "world's best army", and others
All the Germans and French have to step aside.
There is a lot of room for such a statement to be used in a newspaper. When the editor of "The Times" used it, he was no less generous than the editor of "The Sun."
Subconsciously, I believe that since Southern Africa has the ability to defeat German troops, the mysterious force that completely annihilated the 2nd Tanganyika Division in the Battle of Fort Helmut came from Southern Africa.
This kind of news is very welcome to the UK, which is in the midst of an arms race. Germany is unable to do what it wants in the arms race, and the UK is also in dire straits. After all, this is a race with no end in sight.
In other words, this is a race destined to end in destruction.
In early February, Yaya secretly came to Eagle Castle to meet with Rock, hoping that Nyasaland could provide greater support to the Glory Castle troops.
It was only at this time that Roque realized that Mumu was actually Yaya's younger brother.
This is not unusual. Africans are not monogamous. It is normal for a person in the tribe to have three or five wives. It is not uncommon for wives like Zhazha to form a company. Yaya has twelve brothers. Mu
