The world policeman in the 21st century is the United States. It is unlikely that South Africa will become the world's policeman, but the probability of becoming Africa's policeman is quite high.
It’s very interesting to think about it. Look at how the United States has become the world’s policeman. It can beat whoever it wants, scold whomever it wants, and rush in to slap anyone who doesn’t like it. Those who are beaten have to stand at attention.
He leaned his face towards me with a smile on his face: Taijun fought well——
Roque will definitely not go so far. There is no such thing as a shadow. Now, it is too much to want to be an African policeman.
Looking back, Rock still wrote the report honestly. He wrote down all the training content and equipment status of the Northern Rhodesian Division in the report and gave it to Ad. Then the person who communicated with Rock was changed to Henry's father-in-law, Hopkin.
Si.
"This configuration is a bit excessive. Since it is equipped with a heavy machine gun, why should it be equipped with a light machine gun? There is also the 37mm Maxim rapid-fire cannon. Why not just replace it with a 75mm field gun? When you are already equipped with a 37mm rapid-fire cannon.
, is it still necessary to equip the infantry with grenade launchers? If calculated this way, it is estimated that a platoon of logistics supplies requires a large vehicle." What Hopkins is most worried about is the logistics pressure.
"All equipment is necessary. Heavy machine guns and 37mm rapid-fire cannons are used to deal with long-distance targets. Light machine guns and infantry grenade launchers are used to deal with close-range targets. As for the 75mm field gun, it is not unnecessary but used.
I can't afford it, this thing is really a bit expensive, and the Nyasaland Arsenal can't produce it now, so I can't afford it." Rock's explanation was quite detailed. Of course, there was another most important reason why Rock didn't use it.
He said that the key to equipping so many automatic weapons is that they are really easy to use. This counter-insurgency has fully proved this point.
"No money - you and Cecil combined will still have no money?" Hopkins looked down on Rock's behavior of crying about poverty at every turn. Let's not talk about whether Rock has money. Stoudemire's lack of money is a joke.
, the combined annual income of the four colonies in southern Africa may not be as much as that of South African companies.
"If you have money, you can't spend it all on the army. What's more, in the case of Africa, the firepower intensity of the Northern Rhodesian Division is enough. Any more would be a waste." Roque is not reluctant to spend money, but
No need.
After annexing the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State, Britain basically had no opponents in South Africa.
Even if there is, it cannot be solved by South Africa. If South Africa still wants to expand now, in addition to German Southwest Africa and German Tanganyika, only the Belgian Congo and Portuguese East Africa will be left.
The situation in these places is quite special. The Germans cannot be offended now. Belgium and Portugal are very obedient and there is no reason to fight.
So southern Africa really doesn't need much ferocious firepower. The 37mm Maxim rapid-fire cannon is enough to deter the Zulus.
"Then your Nyasaland arsenal is still continuing to develop?" Hopkins suddenly clicked.
This situation is a bit beyond Rock's expectation. Rock attaches great importance to the Nyasaland Arsenal. All information related to the Nyasaland Arsenal is absolutely confidential in Nyasaland. Rock also doesn't know about Hopkins.
How do you know the specific situation of the Nyasaland Arsenal?
"Why not research and develop? Only research and development can make money. Look, the Lee Enfield we are equipped with now is more practical than the previous Martini Henry. There is also the Ruger produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal.
P03, is it more beautiful than the previous Webley revolver?" Rock speaks with facts, there are so many conspiracies and tricks, making money is the king.
The Johannesburg Police Department has just ordered a thousand Ruger pistols from the Nyasaland Arsenal. These pistols have not yet arrived. The Johannesburg Police still use the previous Webley revolvers, but Rock has obtained the sample. Now
Just the thing to convince Hopkins.
Let’s not talk about the performance. The Ruger P03 pistol is exactly the same as the Ruger P08 from another time and space. In appearance, it has completely surpassed the Webley revolver.
The prototype of the Ruger P08 is the Borchardt pistol invented by Hugo Borchardt in 1893. Although the Borchardt pistol has major flaws, Hugo Borchardt is relatively confident and believes that the Borchardt pistol
The Schatt pistol was already perfect and refused to improve the Borchardt pistol, so the German Arms and Ammunition Arsenal cooperated with Hugo Borchardt's assistant Greg Ruger, and this was the Ruger pistol.
.
The first country in the world to adopt the Luger pistol as its standard pistol was Sweden. Germany adopted the Luger pistol as its standard military pistol in 1908, so the Ruger P08 was called this name.
Nyasaland is not Germany, so the Ruger pistol in Nyasaland is called Ruger P03.
"Wow, it's really beautiful -" If Rock hadn't said it, Hopkins wouldn't have noticed it.
The Ruger pistol has a very beautiful appearance, otherwise it would not be so popular and became the favorite of the US military in World War II.
In Spielberg's "Band of Brothers", many plots express the love of U.S. soldiers for Luger pistols.
This can’t be blamed on Hopkins’ lack of knowledge. After all, the Ruger pistol has only just appeared, and South Africa is located on the edge of the world. It’s normal that Hopkins has never seen it.
"Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Rock is generous. It's just a gun. It's not worth much, but for a soldier, it's an irresistible temptation.
"Give it to me? Thank you!" Hopkins really liked it and easily forgot about the Nyasaland Arsenal.
Roque didn't forget. He sent a telegram to Anton, who had returned to Nyasaland, and once again reminded Anton to pay attention to confidentiality.
You can’t ignore it. There are too many secrets in Nyasaland. The War Office has a base in Nyasaland. Although the base of the War Office has now been moved to Chizimulu Island in the center of Lake Nyasa, the War Office is
There is still a liaison office in Little Rock, and maybe all the staff there are agents. Rock still needs to pay attention to this issue.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if the British government knows that the Nyasaland Arsenal has invested heavily in research and development. Again, as long as the British government does not go too far, Rock will not rebel. These days, clinging to the British thigh is the right thing to do. Anyway, Nyasaland
Nyasaland Arsenal will also have to pay taxes to the British government if it sells weapons to other countries in the future. The British government has no reason to restrict Nyasaland Arsenal.
As for whether Britain will worry about Roque's loyalty, the British government is definitely not worried about this issue now, because Roque does not have the strength to rebel at all. If Roque really dares to rebel, Britain will not need to dispatch ground troops, and will only rely on a huge fleet.
, we can seal Nyasaland’s outlet to the sea.
As for the future, after southern Africa becomes autonomous, Roque will not have to worry. At that time, the British government will consider its own interests and not only will not restrict Nyasaland, but will increase its efforts to win over Roque. Only in this way can the British government in Africa be guaranteed.
Benefits.
After all, no one is stupid. As far as the virtues of the British government are concerned, if South Africa becomes autonomous, Britain will definitely mix sand in South Africa. Now it seems that Roque and Stoudemire are the most suitable, otherwise the War Office would not go there.
Africa, set up a base in Nyasaland.
In mid-August, Lacey successfully gave birth to a baby girl at Ziwei Hospital.
"Hello girl, I like girls, she will be as beautiful as Lacey in the future, I like beautiful girls." Henry, a first-time father, spoke excitedly and incoherently.
"Congratulations Henry." Rock said sincerely, and of course he would be happy for Henry.
These days, a woman has to go through hell when giving birth. Every year, countless women die due to childbirth around the world. A small problem that may not seem to be a threat in the future may threaten the life of the mother.
So Henry sent Lacey to Ziwei Hospital early to wait for delivery.
Ziwei Hospital has rich experience in delivering babies. Since its establishment, Ziwei Hospital has successfully delivered babies to thousands of pregnant women. The chance of a pregnant woman having an accident during childbirth is less than one in a thousand, which was very rare in Africa in 1903.
.
After entering the 21st century, the maternal mortality rate has been significantly reduced, but about 1,000 women still die every day from preventable diseases related to pregnancy and childbirth.
In 2008, 358,000 women died during and after pregnancy, childbirth.
Ninety-nine percent of maternal deaths occur in developing countries, with more than half of these deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa and nearly one-third in South Asia.
"Same for you. Congratulations on becoming your child's godfather." Henry patted Roark on the shoulder and laughed. This is indeed something worth celebrating.
"What's the child's name?" Rock is concerned about this question according to Chinese tradition.
"I don't know either. I haven't had time to prepare a name for the child. Besides, before the child is born, only God knows whether it is a boy or a girl." Henry had a good reason, but he was a bit stupid.
"Why don't you prepare a boy's name and a girl's name?" Rock truly despises Henry's IQ. If the child's IQ follows Henry's, it will be too late, and he may not be able to marry.
This sentence is a bit excessive. Henry is Baron Fawalt, so no matter what happens to the child, he can still get married.
Of course, if you want to marry happily, it will be a bit difficult.
"Why prepare two? No one told me that Lacey was pregnant with twins -" Henry's IQ will be completely cleared.
"I mean preparation, not certainty. Even if it doesn't work this time, it will work next time. You won't just give birth to one child, right?" Roark's IQ has also declined. There is a serious shortage of people in the UK.
It’s too late to try every possible means to introduce a population, and it’s impossible to limit births.
"What if it's still a girl next time? Isn't it a waste of a name?" Henry said seriously.
Rock completely gave up communicating with Henry. This guy was so happy that he couldn't listen to anything he said.
