February is the coldest time of the year in Cyprus, but it's still much warmer than Dartmouth.

Patton had finished his studies at the Naval Academy at Dartmouth and was preparing to travel to the United States with the Southern African delegation to attend the Washington Naval Conference.

Cyprus is home to the League of Nations peacekeeping force, where Angel's headquarters is located.

Since Arthur was canonized as a Baron of Cyprus, Cyprus has now flourished.

Cyprus is a pure land compared to Europe, where the economy is sluggish and sluggish, and there are now nearly 200,000 people in Cyprus, most of whom are family members of peacekeepers and a small half of them are new immigrants who came to Cyprus during the world war.

The new immigrants to Cyprus were mainly Chinese workers who came to Europe during the World Wars, as well as some Ottomans and Italians, the Ottoman magnates brought wealth, and the Italians brought fashion and art.

As Barton and Hannah descended the gangway, Angel's car was parked on the dock.

Barton and Anna got into the car, which slowly started and headed straight to the headquarters of the peacekeeping force on the outskirts of Niconia.

The Peacekeeping Force Command is the former site of Roque's Mediterranean Expeditionary Force Headquarters in Cyprus during the World War.

Leaving the port area, the road suddenly opens up, and the standard of two-way six-lane is rare in Europe in this era.

The road connecting the port to Niconia is not just a road, there is also a scenic railway next to it, which circles the whole of Cyprus and then passes through Nikonia to connect the two ports of Cyprus, one on the left and one on the right.

The car was very fast, and it took less than half an hour to enter the city of Niconia.

The residential areas on both sides of the road are quiet and peaceful, the streets are straight and tree-lined, and there are large areas of green space or forest everywhere, and street parks are everywhere, and almost every park has fountains and sculptures.

During Roque's stay in Cyprus, he knocked down the whole of Niconia and rebuilt it.

Today, Niconia is home to schools, hospitals, shopping malls, libraries, and cinemas, and the Baronial Palace of Cyprus is located on the Karpasia Peninsula, far from Niconia.

Speaking of far, in fact, the distance is only 100 kilometers, and the whole of Cyprus is not big.

There is a ring road around Nikonia, which should be considered a ring road by 21st century standards, and Barton is eager to meet Angel as soon as possible, but Anna is not in a hurry, so the car passes through the center of Nikonia.

Entering the city, the number of vehicles increased sharply, but the speed did not slow down, the vehicles coming and going were orderly, and they would actively avoid pedestrians, and few vehicles honked their horns in the city, and Patton asked the officer on the co-pilot to know that the car honking in the city of Niconia was fined.

As in southern Africa, Nikonia drives on the left-hand side, but the vehicles are right-hand drive, which is to make it easier for passengers sitting in the passenger seat to get on and off the bus.

"There are only 200,000 people in the whole of Cyprus, and there are less than 100,000 in Nikonia, and when the Lord was in Cyprus, he left a good infrastructure for Cyprus, and many houses on the outskirts of the city were intended for foreigners, and in the past two years more and more French and Italians have emigrated to Cyprus." The officer sitting in the passenger seat was also of Chinese descent, and he was grateful when he mentioned Roque.

After the World War, most of the expeditionary officers and soldiers returned to southern Africa, but some chose to stay in Cyprus and settle down.

After the decision of the peacekeeping force to place its headquarters in Cyprus, Niconia was once again lively, and as in southern Africa, the families of the officers of the peacekeeping forces were allowed to accompany the army, and these families lived around the headquarters of the peacekeeping force and were self-contained and not subject to the local government of Cyprus.

"Open to receive?" Patton was interested in Cyprus, which actually had a military port, just to the northwest on the Karpas Peninsula, and Patton might also serve in Cyprus in the future.

"How is it possible - if you want to immigrate to Cyprus, you must invest at least 100,000 rand in Cyprus, and the houses we just saw basically cost 100,000 rand." The expression on the officer's face was unusually proud, a world war that played the status of southern Africa, and also knocked out the fear of southern Africans against white Europeans.

As the car enters the city center, there is a huge square next to the road, and the stone slabs on the floor of the square are said to be taken from the old town of Niconia, this square is called "Locke Square", but the center of the square is not a statue of Roque himself, but a monument to the soldiers of the expeditionary force who died in the Mediterranean during the World War.

Patton also served in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force during the World War, when he was sent to the Mediterranean Fleet as a liaison officer, and it was Patton's first close encounter with the British Royal Navy, which had dominated the world for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, the Royal Navy did not leave a good impression on Patton, who did not learn what he wanted from the Royal Navy, but learned more about the dark side of the Royal Navy.

The square is surrounded by a bustling business district, Cyprus is home to many southern African companies in Europe, such as the Rand Bank, South African Company, Nyasaland Automotive, Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Group, and the Rhodesia Hotel is also indispensable.

"It feels like we're coming from Dartmouth to Nikonia like a hillbilly going into town—" Hannah smiled and leaned on Patton's shoulder, aptly describing it.

"There are only a few people in Dartmouth, and a small city of a few thousand people is about the same as a big village." Barton smiled dumbly, compared to the lifeless Dartmouth, everything in Nikonia was alive and thriving.

The officer on the co-pilot did not interject, with a proud smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew Patton's identity, this new rear admiral would become the captain of the first heavy cruiser of the Southern African Navy when he returned to southern Africa, and behind him stood a president of the Southern African Parliament, which could go sideways even on British soil.

Passing through the square, in front of the car is a shopping street, even in the daytime, the signs on the front of the shops are still lit up, and the colorful lights decorate the whole street, cafes and small bars set their tables under the shade of the trees on the side of the street, and the tables are propped up with brightly colored parasols, and the waiters are wearing white shirts and black bow ties, and their smiles are cheerful, just like the weather in Cyprus, the sun is shining.

Passing through the commercial street, it is a quiet and peaceful residential area, the buildings in Niconia are not high, even the buildings around Lockeplatz are rarely more than 20 meters, the residential area here is not the kind of dense building community, but a large number of single-family villas, the Mediterranean, listen to the name is more romantic, the outside of the stone building must also find a way to paint, blue roofs and white walls, with green trees and fresh air, no wonder to sell a set of 100,000 rands.

Like the previous Mediterranean Expeditionary Force Command, the headquarters of the peacekeeping force is located in a valley on the outskirts of Nikonia.

A small stream between the two mountains meanders and flows to the bottom, with red and white fish shuttling through the dark green stone crevices, and on the riverbank there are several boys fishing with trouser legs and nets, a little girl with a red bucket with a red bucket in her eyes, and a few water hounds wagging their tails next to them are enthusiastic.

Anna looked at the children, her face full of aunt smiles glowing with motherly brilliance, and her hand unconsciously rested on her lower abdomen.

Barton took the initiative to hold Anna, and the young couple is now in harmony and in a good relationship.

Anna voluntarily gave up her job in order to accompany Barton to study.

Now that she has a child, in the next two or three years, Anna is estimated to be tied to her home, and this dedication deserves to be treated more carefully.

Passing through the gate of the camp guarded by armored vehicles, the car went straight to the door of Anqi's office.

Angel, who was wearing a general's uniform, was already waiting in front of the door, and when she saw Barton get out of the car, Angel laughed and opened her arms to meet her.

The brothers hugged warmly, and after a few words of greeting, Angel looked at Anna triumphantly.

"Lao Ba, you got married earlier than me, the child is not as old as my child, your son will call me my son brother in the future." Anqi's son was born in Nyasaland last month, Qiao Jingyan was also in Cyprus with Anqi, and after becoming pregnant, Anton was worried about the lack of medical care in Cyprus, so he simply took Qiao Jingyan back to Nyasaland to raise the baby.

If this old man has a grandson, the status of the son will plummet under normal circumstances.

"What do you call me?" Barton remained silent.

"Lao Ba-" Angel is of course about to become a father, and it is normal to call him "Lao Ba".

"Oh-" Barton looked at ease.

Angel reacted immediately, and then turned her face.

"Dog thing, take advantage of me as soon as we meet-"

"Tsk, you can't send it to your door—"

Anna shook her head speechlessly, keen on letting her little friend call her "Dad", this kind of thing is very common among little boys, these two are already thirty years younger, and they are so naïve, is it really good in front of the guards.

However, the relationship between the two is really good, old friends visited, Anqi finished her work ahead of schedule, and went directly off work to eat, drink and play.

Anna was impressed by the Locke Square in downtown Niconia, so Angel simply changed into civilian clothes and accompanied Anna to the city center shopping with Barton.

No matter how affectionate a brother is, it is not as important as a wife.
