The appearance of helicopters did not cause much of a stir.

The performance of the current helicopter is not strong enough, the role is limited, and it needs to be continuously improved to meet the requirements of Roque.

However, the process of developing helicopters has made a good start for scientific research in southern Africa, where the major research institutes have worked in different fields and have never tried to concentrate on big things.

Through the development of helicopters, many people realized the power of the collective.

Nyasaland Motors and Nyasaland Heavy Industries took the lead by establishing a joint engine and transmission research institute to continue to maintain their lead over Ford and Rhodesia Motors.

After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the demand for warships in various countries has been declining, and the "Navy Holiday" is coming, Edward Shipyard and Walvis Bay Shipyard hope to join forces with American shipbuilders and European shipbuilders to compete and get more orders.

Roque has higher requirements for scientific research, and now it may be a little difficult for scientists in southern Africa to study the atomic bomb, and it is still possible to study a "multiple rocket launcher" or something, Roque has also coveted the "Katyusha" for a long time, compared with field artillery, the Katyusha has a short preparation time, fierce firepower, long range, and greater pressure on the enemy, the key is that there are not many difficulties in technology, and with the current level of technology, it is completely possible to build multiple rocket launchers in advance.

Since it can be built, it can be built, and even if it is not needed, it is good to use it as a technical reserve.

On October 5, Roque came to Milner to watch a helicopter flight show live.

For the helicopter, Roque still has great expectations.

Different from airplanes, helicopters have a wider range of applications, lower requirements for the environment, and play a greater role, whether it is military or civilian, helicopters have a large market.

"The helicopter is definitely an epoch-making invention, and we must continue to study on the basis of the present, with a longer range, a larger load, better stability, and a never-ending pursuit of technology—" Roque's researchers put forward higher requirements, Southern Africa has an advantage in technology, but the advantage is not large, and more accumulation is needed.

"What we see now is the second generation of helicopters, compared with the first generation, the current helicopters fly higher, fly farther, and of course the load is larger, and we also invented the gyroplane in the process of developing the helicopter, which is lower cost and safer than the helicopter." Igor was in good spirits, and he only now recognizes Roque's place in the scientific community in southern Africa.

The reason why Christian Human Resources Company found Igor was also because of Roque's request, Roque has never been stingy in this regard, and Southern Africa is indeed full of talent.

Although Roque has never been involved in scientific research, it is unceremonious to say that all the work in southern Africa was carried out under Roque's guidance.

Igor also learned after coming to Southern Africa that the idea of helicopters in Southern Africa was originally determined by Roque, and Roque even directly drew a concept map of the helicopter, which shocked Igor.

It can't be said that it is amazing, although Roque is amazing, but there are many magical people in this world.

For example, the Nikola Tesla in the United States -

With Nikolai M. [Bayi Chinese Network fo] Tesla is compared, Roque is still slightly inferior, that is the real god.

"When developing helicopters, we should pay attention to several different directions, one of which is the air armed assault, which requires the helicopter to have strong firepower and air assault capabilities, and the other is long-distance transportation, not only for personnel and equipment, but more importantly, for air supply, which requires high performance and stability of the helicopter, work hard gentlemen, our future is a sea of stars-" Roque poured chicken soup while beating chicken blood, of course, he did not forget the real reward.

After the successful development of the helicopter, Roque directly took out 1 million rand to reward the team members involved in the helicopter research.

A millionaire like Diesel definitely doesn't look down on this little money.

But for ordinary researchers, this reward is still very fragrant, some of the researchers who played an important role in the development of helicopters, get a reward of more than 10,000 rand, even a senior lecturer at the University of Nyasaland, it will take at least ten years to earn this money.

In the evening, Roque prepared a grand welcome dinner for the scientists.

Shortly after the dinner began, Roque received bad news.

Just now, an inexplicable fire broke out at the naval base in the Bahamas in southern Africa, and the materials hoarded by the federal government of Southern Africa in the Bahamas for the construction of the naval base were burned and all burned in the fire.

Roque's first reaction was that the Americans were playing in it.

After the return to normalcy between southern Africa and the United States, the construction of the naval base in the Bahamas came to a standstill.

Prior to that, however, a considerable amount of construction supplies had been shipped to the Bahamas from southern Africa, and when the construction of the naval base was halted, the supplies were not shipped back to southern Africa, but were stored in the Bahamas in situ for future needs.

It is impossible for a fire to break out in a warehouse where supplies are stored for no reason, unless it is set on fire by man.

"Send a telegram to Barton ordering him to investigate thoroughly." Roark remained silent, the joint exercise was over, the Royal Navy and the Southern African Navy had made a lot of gains, Patton and the other officers involved in the joint exercise had returned to their home countries, and the Bahamas was under the control of the Atlantic Fleet.

"Yes, Lord—" Feige commanded.

Roque still talked and laughed when he turned around, and his mood was not affected.

This is not a big deal, and it will not affect Roque's mood.

Of course, for others, it is not so bland.

On Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas, Lu Zheng looked at the warehouse that had been burned to the ground and said nothing.

The remaining materials for the construction of the naval base were piled up with 25 huge warehouses, each of which covered an area of hundreds of square meters, and the distance between the warehouses was more than 150 meters.

"There was almost no warning when the fire started, I just checked the fire prevention facilities in all the warehouses yesterday afternoon, everything is in order, the first fire started in the timber warehouse, there was more than one fire point, it was definitely not caused by the guards smoking-" Lu Zheng's deputy was Xiao Yong from Johannesburg, both of them were from the army and now serve in the Marine Corps.

"Did the Coast Patrol find anything?" Lu Zheng didn't dare to make a rash decision, and he needed more evidence.

"A week ago, the Maritime Patrol expelled two U.S. fishing boats trying to get close to Grand Bahama Island, and there is nothing unusual beyond that—" Xiao Yong also had insufficient information.

The Bahamas is one of the three archipelagos of the West Indies, and in general, the Bahamas are considered to be a group of islands in the Caribbean, but in fact the Bahamas are not in the Caribbean Sea, but are located in the North Atlantic Ocean outside the mouth of the Florida Channel.

The Bahamas consists of more than 700 islands and more than 2,400 reefs, with a total area of 13, 939 square kilometers and a population of about 20,000.

After the American Revolution, some British loyalists fled the United States and came to the Bahamas, which led to the prosperity of the Bahamas and the establishment of cotton plantations.

After the introduction of Prohibition in the United States, the Bahamas became a hub for alcohol smugglers.

After Britain appointed the Bahamas to Southern Africa, the Federal Government of Southern Africa imposed military control over the Bahamas, gradually reclaimed cotton plantations in the Bahamas, and cracked down on smuggling, and now the number of people in the Bahamas is declining to less than 5,000.

After a series of cooperation agreements between the United States and Southern Africa, Southern Africa withdrew most of its troops, leaving only one battalion in the Bahamas.

Compared with more than 700 islands and more than 2,400 islands and reefs, only one battalion is really stretched thin, Grand Bahama Island is the fourth largest island in the Bahamas, 12 kilometers wide from east to west, 24 kilometers long from north to south, with an area of 1,373 square kilometers, and about 96 kilometers west of the Florida Peninsula of the United States.

"We have just signed a series of agreements with the United States, it should not be Americans-" Baird David, the chief executive of Grand Bahama Island, was worried, not to mention that there are few people on Grand Bahama Island, although the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs.

"So who is it? Now it's obvious that someone deliberately set the fire, it can't be that we set fire to our own warehouse, right? Xiao Yong had no place to spill his anger, and Baird David bumped into the muzzle of the gun.

"It's not impossible, anything can happen until the facts are investigated." Baird Davy also has nowhere to vent his anger, and the materials stored in these warehouses are worth millions of rands, and now someone needs to be held accountable for whether it is a deliberate arson or an accident.

"Shut up!" Lu Zheng was in an irritable mood, and the most important thing at this time was to unanimously open the door: "Send the troops out to search the whole island to see if there are any clues, especially pay attention to strangers, and arrest all strangers for detailed investigation." ”

"An island-wide search?" Xiao Yong was surprised, Grand Bahama Island, with a total area of 1,373 square kilometers.

And there is only one company on the island of about 120 people.

Nima searched more than a dozen square kilometers alone?

That's not a dozen square meters.

"Then we have to investigate, go door-to-door and investigate one by one, and take this opportunity to gather everyone around the base to live in a concentrated manner, and we can't give the enemy any chance." Lu Zheng has sent a telegram to Nassau for help, and the Federal Government of Southern Africa has a slightly larger force in Nassau, two companies.

However, Nassau has always been the seat of the British Governor's Mansion in the Bahamas, and if this kind of thing happens on Grand Bahama Island, Nassau must also be searching the whole city, and whether it has the strength to support Grand Bahama Island is a matter of two questions.
