919 Intensive cultivation
The British Empire's reputation as a corrupt country is by no means in vain, and the Royal Navy scored particularly high among all the elements of "rot".
During Patton's time in the Mediterranean Fleet, he was clear about the criticisms in the Royal Navy, and then the Southern African Navy began to admit women on board, which was basically impossible in the British Royal Navy.
You may not believe it, but the Royal Navy's insistence on superstition and tradition is deep-rooted, and women can't be on ships is one of them, which leads to the Royal Navy's -
Don't talk about it.
In short, the bad habits of the Royal Navy are basically non-existent in the Southern African Navy, which has just been in the army for a few years, and it turns out that the history is relatively short, and it is also good that at least when absorbing experience, we can remove the chaff and critically absorb the so-called experience in the Royal Navy.
"Good habits should be kept, you should train on as many different warships as possible, destroyers, cruisers, supply ships, hospital ships - I'll say hello to Bridges, you better be prepared." Roque has high requirements for Patton, and in order to become a qualified fleet commander, he must have a lot of experience, and Patton has Roque's trust, which is a prerequisite for everything.
Watching Roque teach Barton earnestly, Angel had an envious expression on her face.
"How about it, do you want to go down to the army to train as well?" Roque let Angel choose her own life, during the time that Roque was by Roque's side, Anqi has been performing well, Anton is the same as Buck, and is also Roque's close comrade-in-arms, Roque will not favor one over the other.
"Lord, may I be the same?" Angel was overjoyed, and although it was easy to work beside Roque, Angel also longed for a bigger future.
During the period of leaving Roque's side, Barton's progress is obvious to all, and he will definitely be reused by Roque in the future.
Also Roque's adjutant, Angel is unwilling to fall behind.
"Of course, where do you want to go? Air force? Marines? Or the Airborne Forces? "Roque gave many options, after returning to southern Africa, Roque will reform the army in southern Africa, the size of the army will be greatly reduced, the size of the navy and air force will increase rapidly, and the Marine Corps and airborne troops are also in the plan.
"Of course it's the Air Force, but I have a pilot's license!" It was only then that Angel remembered that she had obtained her pilot license a long time ago.
It was during the Italian-Turkish War, and after Angel got her pilot license, she almost went to North Africa as a mercenary, and later, at Anton's request, Roque took Angel with him.
Now that she can return to the army, Angel's most longing is of course the sky.
"Yes, but before that, you have to start a family, your father has complained to me several times, if it weren't for the world war, you would have children by now." Roark sometimes thinks about it and is ashamed of Anton and Barker, but it doesn't matter, the experience during the world war is a valuable spiritual wealth for Angel and Barton, and they will benefit immensely in the future.
"My father has already arranged for me to get married, and I will get married when I return to southern Africa." Patton had already arranged that the woman was the daughter of Education Secretary Douglas, so it could be said that she was a good match.
However, looking at Patton's expression, he was not very happy, it is estimated that this is also a political marriage, maybe Barton doesn't know Douglas's daughter.
This is not a problem, born in a powerful family, without worrying about food and clothing, but also to bear the corresponding responsibilities, the vast majority of powerful families are like this, whether there is affection or not, as long as there are interests, then they can be combined, and then after marriage, they will play their own -
Roque certainly doesn't advocate this form, but Roque doesn't interfere either.
Now that southern Africa is getting stronger and stronger, the elite class is taking shape, Roque can't interfere even if he wants to, strong alliances are inevitable, the love between the prince and Cinderella only exists in fairy tales, and the story of the prince and Snow White is reality.
"Douglas's daughter, that's good—" Roque seemed to have the impression that Douglas's daughter taught at the University of Nyasaland and was also a member of the Abu Institute of Biological Research, which was enough to prove that Douglas's daughter was capable and worthy of Patton's status.
"You mean Hannah? Hahahaha - Barton, you're miserable, Hannah is notoriously harsh, I guess you'll have to ask Hannah for leave if you want to drink in the future. "Angel is a graduate of the University of Nyasaland and seems to have heard of Hannah.
"You know Hannah?" Barton was surprised that he hadn't seen Hannah before.
"Of course I know, when I was a student at the University of Nyasaland, Hannah was a teaching assistant to Principal Douglas and was responsible for class discipline." Angel's face was not a big deal, he was really curious about the way Barton and Anna got along with each other after they got married.
"It's good, at least the person in charge of class discipline will be very disciplined." Barton is unsmiling, still looking forward to the future.
"Don't be complacent, Uncle Buck must have prepared a wife for you, what are you going to do? Do you choose a wife you've never met, or do you choose your Aretha? Barton also began to reveal that Aretha was the daughter of a Parisian official, and she met Angel at a banquet and became close ever after.
Roque doesn't know these things, it's normal to think about it, Angel and Barton are both in their twenties, strong and strong-blooded, although Southern Africa is a little farther away from Europe, but Angel and Barton are both from famous families, have received higher education, and work beside Roque, Roque is also very strict with Angel and Barton, referring to the mate selection criteria of this period, Angel and Barton are both diamond kings, and there are not too many girls around them.
"Me and Aresha are nothing—" Angel's expression stiffened, stroking a red rope in her hand and remaining silent.
Roque knew what the red rope represented, and in southern Africa, the red rope represented good fortune and was a gift that lovers often gave to each other.
"Don't worry Angel, follow your own heart, choose whichever you like, if your father doesn't agree, I'll do your father's job." Roque has a big deal, although Roque has not experienced a political marriage, but judging from the comparison between Xiao Si and Henry, Xiao Si is not happy.
Xiao Si's marriage was arranged by Cecil Rhodes, and his wife's father was a business partner of Cecil Rhodes at the time.
Compared with Xiao Si, Henry and Lacey just chose love, and the relationship between Henry and Lacey has been very good over the years, whether Henry is in the Transvaal or in the Cape, Lacey is by Henry's side.
Henry is also the Minister of Justice for Southern Africa, and Cape Town is the judicial capital of Southern Africa, so Henry spends most of his year staying in Cape Town.
"Really?" Angel's eyes suddenly burst into a strange brilliance, and her excitement was ten thousand times higher than when she heard Roque let him out just now.
"Of course it's true, it looks like you've already made a decision-" If you don't want to love, Roque won't force the two to be together, in fact, with the identity of Anton and Barker, they don't need to join forces, as long as they don't make big mistakes, they will always stay in the center of power in Southern Africa.
The fleet sailed all the way, after passing through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean, and then landed from Beirut through Cyprus.
Roque came to Beirut to inspect Beirut's oil pipelines.
In Beirut, there are hardly any buildings left over from the Ottoman period, the walls around the city have been demolished, and the stone slabs that have been removed are used to pave the streets, compared with the previous streets, the streets are now spacious and straight, neatly planned, the main roads are hardened with asphalt, the city has been divided into areas with different functions, some are residential, some are commercial areas, and the most important port areas and stations, the railway extends all the way to the port, and goods can be sent directly to the port through the railway for loading.
In order to rebuild Beirut, Lide and Tangen requisitioned 100,000 Ottomans, and began a large-scale transformation of Beirut after the surrender of the Ottoman Empire two years ago.
After two years of hard work, the renovation work is not yet over, and in order to remove the influence of history on Beirut, Beirut's name was changed to Marlborough, which is a tribute to Winston's family, and when Winston learned of the news, he donated 100,000 pounds to Adan as a token of his gratitude.
Covering an area of 15 square kilometres, Marlborough can accommodate nearly 30,000 people when fully completed, and among the six residential areas that have been built, there are also planned vegetable markets, parks, schools, hospitals, bus stations, etc., and the infrastructure is second to none in the entire two river basins.
It should be noted that the French government very much wanted to get the surrounding area, including Marbarro, but Roque firmly refused.
"We are now migrating to Marlboro, but this is not going well, except for port workers and managers, there are not many new immigrants willing to settle in Marlboro, but there are more new immigrants from Europe." Li De's expression was ashamed, and he did not complete the task assigned by Roque.
If the majority of Marlborough's population is Chinese, it will be easy for southern Africa to annex Marlborough in the future, which can be referred to the future Crimean Peninsula.
"Don't worry, the immigration work can be done slowly, the next thing we have is time to work hard, remember that it is better to have a shortage than to be excessive, the Chinese are unwilling to immigrate to Marlboro, and the benefits given by Marlborough are not enough, and then the land in the two river basins can be put up for sale, and the land on Marlborough's side can be directly distributed, as long as you are willing to settle in Marbaro, a family of 100 acres!" Roque still likes to smash with money, which is indeed the best effect.
ps: "The Rich World" is still blocked, and the state is very bad today, please forgive me, brothers-
