The world policeman in the 21 st century is the United States, and South Africa is unlikely to become the world's policeman, and there is still a high probability that it will become an African policeman.

It's very touching to think about it, look at how the United States is the world's policeman, hit whoever you want, scold whoever you want, and rush up to two big-eared scrapers to see who is not pleasing to the eye, and those who are beaten have to stand upright, while leaning their faces over, they are full of smiles: Taijun played well-

Roque will definitely not be so excessive, there is no shadow, and it is too much to want to be an African policeman now.

Turning around, Roque still wrote a report honestly, wrote down the training content of the northern Rhodesia division, as well as the equipment situation in the report, and handed it to Ade, and then the person who communicated with Roque was replaced by Henry's father-in-law Hopkins.

"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? And that kind of 37-mm Makqin rapid-fire gun, why not just replace it with a 75-mm field gun? Is it necessary to equip the infantry with grenade launchers when the 37-mm rapid-fire guns are already equipped? If this is calculated, it is estimated that a platoon of logistics supplies will need a large car. Hopkins' biggest concern is logistical pressures.

"All the equipment is necessary, heavy machine guns and 37mm rapid-fire guns are against long-range targets, light machine guns and infantry use grenade launchers against close-range targets, as for 75mm field guns, it's not that they don't need it, but they can't afford it, this thing is really a bit expensive, and now the Nyasaland Arsenal can't produce it, so it can't afford to use it." Roque explained in quite detail, of course, there is one of the most important reasons that Roque did not say, the reason why so many automatic weapons are equipped, the key is that it is really easy to use, and this counterinsurgency has fully proved this.

"No money—will you and Cecil have any money combined?" Hopkins doesn't look down on Roque's behavior of crying poor at every turn, let's not say whether Roque has money or not, Xiao Si's lack of money is a joke, the four colonies in southern Africa combined, the annual income is not necessarily as much as that of South African companies.

"You can't all have money on the army, not to mention, in the case of Africa, this kind of firepower intensity of the northern Rhodesian division is enough, and no matter how much it is, it will be a waste." It's not that Roque is reluctant to spend money, but it's not necessary.

After the annexation of the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State, Britain had essentially no rivals in South Africa.

Even if there is, it is not something that South Africa can solve, and now if South Africa still wants to expand, in addition to German South-West Africa and German Tanganyika, only Belgian Congo and Portuguese East Africa remain.

The situation in these places is relatively special, the Germans cannot afford to provoke now, Belgium and Portugal are honest and obedient, and there is no reason to want to fight.

So Southern Africa really doesn't need much ferocious firepower, and the 37mm Maxim rapid-fire cannon is enough to deter the Zulus.

"And your Nyasaland Arsenal is still developing?" Hopkins nodded suddenly.

This situation is a bit unexpected by Roque, Roque attaches great importance to the Nyasaland Arsenal, and all the news related to the Nyasaland Arsenal is absolutely confidential in Nyasaland, and Roque does not know how Hopkins knows about the specific situation of the Nyasaland Arsenal.

"Why not develop it? R&D makes money, you see that the Lee Enfield we are equipped with now is better than the previous Martini Henry, and the Ruger P03 produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal is not more beautiful than the previous Webley revolver? "Roque speaks with facts, where there are so many intrigues and tricks, making money is king.

The Johannesburg Police Department has just ordered a thousand Luger pistols from the Nyasaland Arsenal, which has not yet arrived, and the Johannesburg police are still using the old Webley revolver, but Roque has already obtained a sample, which is now being used to convince Hopkins.

Not to mention the performance, the Ruger P03 pistol, which is exactly the same as the Luger P08 in another time and space, has completely exploded the Webley revolver in appearance.

The prototype of the Ruger P08 is the Borchat pistol invented by Hugo Borchat in 1893, although the Borschart pistol has major defects, but Hugo Borchatt is more confident, thinking that the Borchat pistol has been perfect, and refuses to improve the Borschart pistol, so the German Arms and Ammunition Arsenal cooperated with Hugo Borchatt's assistant Greg Ruger, which led to the Luger pistol.

The first country in the world to adopt the Ruger pistol as a standard pistol was Sweden, and Germany adopted the Ruger pistol as a standard military pistol in 1908, so the Ruger P08 was called this name.

Nyasaland is not Germany, so the Ruger pistol is called Ruger P03 in Nyasaland.

"Wow, it's beautiful—" Hopkins didn't even notice if Roque hadn't said it.

The Luger pistol was originally very beautiful, otherwise it would not have been highly sought after, and it became the favorite of the American military in World War II.

In Spielberg's "Band of Brothers", many plots express the American soldier's love for Luger's pistol.

This can't be blamed on Hopkins for not seeing it, after all, the Luger pistol has only just appeared, and South Africa is on the edge of the world, so it's normal that Hopkins hasn't seen it.

"Like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you! "Roque is generous, a gun is just a gun, it's not worth much, but for soldiers, it's a temptation that can't be refused.

"Give it to me? Thank you! Hopkins liked it so much that he easily forgot about the Nyasaland Arsenal.

Roque didn't forget, and when he turned around, Roque sent a telegram to Anton, who had returned to Nyasaland, reminding Anton to pay attention to secrecy.

If you don't pay attention to it, there are too many secrets in Nyasaland, and the War Office has a base in Nyasaland, although the base of the War Office has now moved to Chizmlu Island in the center of Lake Niasa, but the War Office still maintains a liaison office in Little Rock, maybe the staff there are all agents, and Roque still has to pay attention to this issue.

In fact, even if the British government knows that the Nyasaland Arsenal has invested heavily in research and development, it doesn't matter, or that sentence, as long as the British government is not excessive, Roque will not rebel, and hugging the British thigh is the king in these years, anyway, the Nyasaland Arsenal will pay taxes to the British government if it sells weapons to foreign countries in the future, and the British government has no reason to restrict the 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 has no strength to rebel at all, and if Roque really dares to rebel, Britain does not need to send ground forces, and only relies on a huge fleet to block Nyasaland's access to the sea.

As for the future, after the autonomy of southern Africa, Roque does not have to worry, when the British government is in consideration of its own interests, not only will it not restrict Nyasaland, but will increase its efforts to encircle Roque, so as to ensure British interests in Africa.

After all, no one is stupid, as far as the British government is concerned, if South Africa is self-governing, Britain will definitely mix sand in South Africa, and now it seems that Roque and Xiao Si are the most suitable, otherwise the War Office would not have gone to Africa and set up a base in Nyasaland.

In mid-August, Lacey gave birth to a baby girl at Ziwei Hospital.

"Hello girl, I like girls, she will definitely be as beautiful as Lacey in the future, I like beautiful girls." Henry, a first-time father, spoke incoherently with excitement.

"Congratulations Henry." Roque was genuine, and of course he would be happy for Henry.

In these years, a woman giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and I don't know how many women die every year in the world because of childbirth, and a small problem that does not seem to pose any threat in the future may threaten the life of the mother, so Henry sent Lacey to Ziwei Hospital early to give birth.

Since its establishment, Ziwei Hospital has successfully delivered thousands of pregnant women, and the chance of an accident during childbirth is less than 1 in 1,000, which is very rare in Africa in 1903.

In the twenty-first century, maternal mortality has fallen dramatically, but about 1,000 women still die every day from preventable diseases related to pregnancy and childbirth.

In 2008, 358,000 women died during pregnancy and childbirth and after 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.

"You too, congratulations on becoming the godfather of your children." Henry patted Roque on the shoulder and laughed, it was indeed a celebration to celebrate.

"What's the child's name?" Roque was concerned about this issue according to Chinese tradition.

"I don't know, I haven't had time to prepare a name for the child, and besides, before the child is born, only God knows if it's a boy or a girl." Henry's reason is good, it's just a little stupid.

"You're not going to have a boy's name and a girl's name?" Roque really despises Henry's IQ, and if the child's IQ follows Henry in the future, it will be too late, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get married.

This sentence is a bit excessive, Henry is Baron Favart, so no matter how good the child is, he can still get married.

Of course, if you want to marry very satisfied, it is a little difficult.

"Why prepare two? Nobody told me Lacey was pregnant with twins—"Henry's IQ will be completely wiped out."

"I mean preparation, not certainty, even if you don't use it this time, you can use it next time, you shouldn't have only one-" Roque's IQ also has a downward trend, Britain is very short of people, and it is too late to do everything possible to introduce a population, and it is impossible to restrict births.

"What if it's still a girl? Not a wasted name? Henry had a serious face.

Roque completely gave up communicating with Henry, this guy was already stupid at this time, and he couldn't listen to anything.
