The older generation of southern Africans are deeply impressed by military control. After the Second Boer War, southern Africa experienced military control for about three years. It was not until the situation stabilized that the colonial government at that time gradually relaxed military control in various places.
manage.
The current states of Victoria and Dias are actually under military control, strictly speaking. After all, Victoria and Dias have not yet officially joined Southern Africa, but are mandated territories in Southern Africa.
As the name suggests, military control is a special form of compulsory management and control in which the military takes over government power under special circumstances and implements it over the country or some regions, certain industries, and individual departments.
St. John's Port is not the largest port in southern Africa, nor is it even the largest port in Cape State. If the Ministry of Defense decides to impose military control on St. John's Port, it will not have much impact on Cape State, but for Rich Dew
The impact on you is more serious.
"The Cape State has the ability to eliminate McClair's rebels and does not need the help of the federal government." Rich Diyul is still stubborn. He cannot afford the consequences of the Port of St. John being put under military control. In that case, Rich Diyul will
Yule's political career will come to an end.
"Of course, we believe in the capabilities of the Cape State Government. The Ministry of Defense took over St. John's Port to prevent the rebels from receiving support. The Edward Fleet will not intervene without the request of the Cape State Government." Jackson Marshall sneered.
, if the Cape State government had this ability, the rebels would not have developed to the extent they are now.
"What do you mean?" Richie Deyule's face was ashen, and Jackson Marshall's words touched Richie Deyure's sore spot.
Even if Galbraith hid some weapons, it would not be enough to arm thousands of rebels.
Bullard's office has intelligence that Galbraith is trying every means to purchase weapons, and as the closest port to McClair, St. John's Port is an important channel for McClair's rebels to obtain supplies. This is also the reason why Jackson Marshall came to St. John's.
Port John's true purpose.
"Mr. Mayor, that's what you understand -" Jackson Marshall was very busy and had no time to talk nonsense with Richie Duer. In just a short time, nearly a thousand Marines had landed, and the people on the dock
There are also more and more supplies.
"I will sue your actions to the state government!" Richie Diure said furiously.
"Whatever!" Jackson Marshall is not afraid. Even though Cape Town is the judicial capital of Southern Africa, the Cape State government does not have much influence on the Ministry of Justice. Want to sue the Ministry of Defense?
Let’s get through Henry’s level first.
In fact, there was no need for Richie Dull to threaten. When Edward's fleet took over St. John's Port, the Cape State government sent a stern telegram to the federal government, asking the federal government to respect the rights of the Cape State government and withdraw it immediately.
Edward's fleet.
"What should we do? Edmund Loco said that if the federal government does not stop interfering with the Cape State government, then the Cape State government will take the lawsuit to London." Henry laughed, probably Edmund
Law also knew about the relationship between Roark and Henry, so he simply jumped to London to complain.
This possibility is not impossible. Although southern Africa is autonomous, the British government has not given up control over southern Africa and has been trying to increase its influence in southern Africa.
In the past, southern Africa was monolithic under Adelaide's painstaking management, and the influence of the British government was getting smaller and smaller.
Now if the Cape State government really takes the lawsuit to London, it will be a big gift to London.
"I think this alone is enough to bring Edmund Law to court." Roque was cruel and ruthless, and Edmond Law's behavior can be called treason.
It's a pity that there are no similar provisions in the laws of southern Africa, and the people in the legislative department don't know what they do.
Even though the United Kingdom and the United States are talking about the "separation of powers", the most thorough implementation of the separation of powers is in southern Africa.
The "separation of powers" in the United Kingdom and the United States is only verbal. Look at southern Africa. Even the capital has three, responsible for "legislation, justice, and administration." This is the only country in the world that dares to do this.
The starting point of the three capitals is good, but the consequences are also serious. It did not seem obvious before. Now as southern Africa develops more and more, the inconvenience caused by the three capitals is becoming more and more obvious.
"You shouldn't have sent Edward's fleet to St. John's and let the Cape State government fiddle with it. Wouldn't it be easier for you to step in and take over after they can't frustrate it any longer." Henry was truly ruthless.
If Roque doesn't say anything, if he really allows the rebels to gain power, the people of Cape will be the ones who will be hurt in the end. Roque will never allow this to happen.
The contradiction between the Cape State government and the federal government will definitely not be left to Cape people to pay in the end. After all, the small number of people in the Cape State government cannot represent the entire Cape.
"Lord, the Prime Minister's telegram——" Fitch looked serious.
In the telegram, Philip asked Roque to act quickly to end Maclair's rebellion and not allow Maclair's rebels to cause greater chaos.
On this issue, Philip's attitude is consistent with Roque's.
After reading it, Rock handed the telegram to Henry, and then ordered Fitch: "Send a telegram to General Marshall and order him to act immediately -"
With Philip's order, Roque finally got the sword of Shang Fang.
"I have to go back and prepare for the trial of Edmund Law. This time I must bring this guy to court." Henry disowned his relatives. Edmund Law was also from the Liberal Party, and he was in the same camp as Roque and Henry.
In fact, just when Rock received Philip's telegram, Jackson Marshall had already begun ordering the Air Force to conduct a reconnaissance of McClair to prepare for subsequent military operations.
Although the aircraft carriers in southern Africa have not yet been commissioned, the naval aviation force has been established. Nyasaland Aviation further improved on the basis of naval aircraft, and the new generation of naval fighter jets was named "Eagle".
Compared with the naval fighter jets manufactured for the United Kingdom in Southern Africa during the World War, the Eagle fighter jet has a longer range, a larger amount of ammunition, and a faster speed. Overall, it is a level higher, and its performance exceeds 3%.
Around ten.
In addition to the Eagle fighter jets, Nyasaland Airlines also sent two helicopters that are in the testing stage.
After the helicopter was successfully developed, the team was disbanded on the spot, and Rock selected some people to form a helicopter research institute to further improve the helicopter.
With Rock's golden finger under his guidance, helicopter research in Southern Africa has been on the right path from the beginning, with almost no detours, and now has preliminary operational capabilities.
"We have installed aviation machine guns and rockets on the helicopter. This rocket is a new weapon just developed by the military industry department. It is powerful, has strong firepower, is simple and convenient to use, and is very effective for ground attacks - the role of helicopters
It’s not just ground attack, it can also play a huge role in anti-submarine, reconnaissance and cover, fire support, air transportation, and transporting the wounded.” The chief engineer of the Helicopter Research Institute is Mapuluo from Nyasaland Military Industry.
I also came to St. John's Port once to verify the helicopter's performance in combat.
"Anti-submarine?" Jackson Marshall is not interested in reconnaissance and cover, but he still attaches great importance to anti-submarine.
During the World War, the outstanding performance of the German submarine force caused huge losses to Britain.
After the end of the world war, the British military industry departments focused on anti-submarine warfare as their main research direction, and southern Africa was certainly no exception.
"Yes, helicopters also perform very well in anti-submarine warfare. We have mounted sonar on the helicopter to conduct reconnaissance on the sea surface. If a submarine is discovered, we can directly use depth bombs to attack it. Once the submarine is discovered by the helicopter
, there is almost nowhere to escape." Mapleu was full of confidence. In previous experiments, the helicopter's performance was astonishing. It performed amazingly in many fields and was an excellent all-rounder.
"How far is the range of the helicopter? Can it reach McClair?" Jackson Marshall still had doubts and did not fully understand the role of the helicopter.
"Yes, McClair is less than 110 kilometers away from St. John's Port, and is completely within the combat range of helicopters." Maplow looked confident, and then changed his subject: "-But now we cannot send helicopters to fight alone. We must
Helicopters can only be dispatched with the cooperation of ground troops."
"Why?" Jackson Marshall was disappointed.
"We still have some problems that have not been completely solved." Maple said confidently. The helicopter is not in perfect condition yet and needs to be continuously improved to meet Rock's requirements for the helicopter.
Jackson Marshall nodded and understood. To put it bluntly, we can't count on it now, and we still have to rely on ground troops to solve the problem.
Just before Jackson Marshall committed ground troops, the Cape State government finally took action.
On February 11, 2,500 National Guard soldiers mobilized by the Cape State government, led by Mackenzie, also arrived at St. John's Port, preparing to launch an attack on McClair.
"It is the responsibility of our Cape State government to suppress the rebels. The National Guard cannot participate in the attack on McClair before we ask for help from the federal government." McKenzie had a firm attitude when facing Jackson Marshall, with 2,500 National Guard troops
Mackenzie is still very confident about the 3,000 rebels.
The rebels are just a ragtag group. They have received military training for a month or two at most. They may not have even mastered the formation and formation, and they have no ability to fight head-on with the regular army.
Although the National Guard of Cape State is not the national defense force, it is the only military organization in Cape State. Its daily training work is also going well. There is no reason why it cannot defeat a group of rebels.
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news -" Jackson Marshall doesn't want to take credit, you do what you do.
