Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

35 minus 30 is enough to build one of the most powerful super-dreadnoughts. Maybe even two of them can be built. France’s Normandy-class battleship is only 25,000 tons. Such a simple arithmetic problem, even if the math is taught by a physical education teacher

It will also count.

Japan is different from France. France is bluffing when asking for more capital ship tonnage, while Japan is really ambitious in its navy.

"If the United States wants to provoke an arms race with the Empire of Japan, then the Empire of Japan will have nothing to fear. It would rather be shattered than destroyed." Kato Tomosaburo gritted his teeth. A slight concession at this time would have consequences for the future maritime power.

great influence.

As soon as these words came out, Stoudemire and Irving both had strange expressions. If Japan and the United States engage in an arms race, it would seem to be very beneficial to the United Kingdom.

However, it cannot simply be said that if Japan and the United States are engaged in an arms race, then the British Empire will probably keep up. Think about the competition between Wong Lao Kat and Jiaduobao. It is amazing that they are competing with each other.

"Then what if the British Empire is added to the mix -" Rock will not stay out of it. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and there are three pounds of nails in the rotten ship. Even if Britain is riddled with holes, it can still break out if it is really at a critical moment of life and death.

All at once.

"My lord, could you please take a moment to speak?" Kato Yusaburo looked at Xiaosi and Irving, with deep fear in his eyes.

"Ha, you guys talk slowly, Rock, let's go back first." Xiaosi knew what he was interested in and wanted to give Rock and Tomosaburo Kato enough private space.

Owen looked at Rock and hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. He believed that there would be no PY transaction between Rock and Tomosaburo Kato.

"No need -" Rock didn't want to create artificial barriers. There was no secret between him and Kato Yusaburo. Kato Yusaburo could chat for a while if he wanted to. If he didn't want to talk, just get out. Rock was not a curious baby.

Kato Yusaburo's face was ugly, but Rock was unmoved: "What do you want to say?"

"Sir, white people have dominated the world for hundreds of years. As a yellow man - as an Asian, don't you want to do something for Asia?" Tomosaburo Kato had ideals and raised the issue to a racial level as soon as he opened his mouth.

Oops, this height is too high. Rock felt instantly unable to catch it. Let’s not just be white and yellow. Japan is not capable of representing Asia. Have you asked the Indians for their opinions?

As the largest loyal dog in the UK, in the hearts of Indians, India is probably the most qualified to represent Asia.

Japan is just an ally of Britain and cannot be closer than a "blood son".

Of course, this "biological son" is also imagined by the Indians themselves. Britain's biological son is the United States, or southern Africa, forget about India, at most it is a domestic slave.

"What do you want to say?" Roque didn't answer. Don't listen to Kato Yusaburo's nonsense. The ***** circle is really not about "common prosperity." The real meaning is that Japan leads East Asia to prosper, or that Japan sucks blood from East Asia to ensure its own

Prosperity.

"Japanese and Chinese are connected by a single coat of water, connected by blood -" Kato Yusaburo opened his eyes and told lies. God is connected by a single coat of water, connected by blood. The Golden State of Lushun is still in front of us. The Boxer Indemnity has not been paid yet. Now you tell me that a single strip of water is connected.

Connected by blood?

Even your sister, I would be unlucky to be your neighbor for eight lifetimes.

After the end of the world war, ROC demanded that the Eight-Nation Allied Forces cancel the Boxer Indemnity on the grounds of being a victorious country.

Other countries have responded by offering reductions or exemptions or refunds, but Japan is the only one that refuses to give up. It is extremely resolute and must not lose even a penny, and the interest must also be paid.

"Your Excellency, Minister, limiting the arms race is also for the sake of regional peace." Roque never believed in those who have some and don't have it. In jungle society, strength is king. If you have strength, you can become a father with a hard fist. If you don't have strength, you can spend all your time dreaming about nothing and deserve to be beaten.

Rub it hard on the ground.

"Lord, the Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy both have 500,000-ton battleships. If Japan only has 300,000 tons, it will be impossible to maintain regional peace." Kato Yusaburo followed Rock's meaning and said that strength is the guarantee of peace. This is not true.

wrong.

"Then 350,000 tons is enough?" Rock didn't believe that the Japanese were so kind.

To put it bluntly, building and maintaining a huge fleet requires huge funds, and Japan's strength is simply unable to support it. It does not rely on squeezing neighboring countries to maintain its livelihood.

Without the Treaty of Shimonoseki, there would be no modernization of Japan. Without the Boxer Indemnity, Japan would not be able to build the Eighty-Eight Fleet. The rise of Japan is a history of blood and tears of the Chinese. For the benefit of the Chinese, Roark will do his best to suppress Japan.

Ambition.

Ambition is something that will continue to expand and requires huge resources to support it. Japan has no domestic resources and can only rely on external plunder to maintain an increasingly larger naval fleet. And looking around Japan, there is only one country that Japan can plunder.

"My lord, don't forget that you are also Asian -" Kato Yusaburo finally confirmed that Rock would never give in on this issue.

"I am now a southern African." Roque's position is clear. Japan has been desperately trying to "leave Asia and join Europe" in recent years, but it is not too proud of its Asian identity.

Kato Yusaburo left angrily. This was the first time Roque had directly rejected Kato Yusaburo's overtures. Kato Yusaburo was unyielding and might continue to look for Roque in the future.

"This guy is really arrogant. Are all Japanese people so arrogant?" Xiao Si looked at Kato Yusaburo's back with disdain.

After the World War, Japan, as a victorious country, believed that it was capable of participating in international competition.

In fact, that's all. The United Kingdom and the United States are smiling on the surface, but they are all MMP in their hearts. They really don't take Japan seriously.

"Japan still has some strength, maybe it will be the next Germany." Owen attaches great importance to Japan. Imperial countries are like this, and their mobilization capabilities are much stronger than democratic countries.

"It's actually easy to suppress Japan, just support ROC -" Roque quietly brought in private goods. It's really not that Roque doesn't care about the Chinese in the Far East, but that in Roque's position, there are too many people staring at Roc. Once

If Rock shows too obvious tendencies, it will also have a serious impact on Rock.

To put it bluntly, the United Kingdom and the United States attach much higher importance to the Chinese than to the Japanese.

Even though ROC is still in a mess, in fact, if a strong leader emerges, it’s hard to say who has the final say in the Far East.

After all, the Chinese have a population of 400 million and have a glorious history of thousands of years. Rock often talks about "five thousand years". Do you really think that a white man doesn't know this?

I know, I just don’t want to admit it, I can’t admit it.

Napoleon said a hundred years ago: From today's perspective, even a fly would dare to land on a lion's face and bark a few times when it is asleep.

Given Napoleon's influence in Europe, do Europeans think Napoleon was talking in his sleep?

Don't be arrogant, and don't feel inferior.

"Locke, don't -" Stoudemire reminded directly. It is enough to have a "Locke" in southern Africa. If Locke in southern Africa has too many connections with ROC, the United Kingdom and the United States can accept a powerful Japan, but they cannot

Accept a strong ROC.

Japan has become stronger, but it still needs funds and resources from Britain and the United States.

If ROC becomes stronger, at least in East Asia, Britain and the United States will have nothing to worry about.

At the naval meeting the next day, representatives from various countries were still noisy.

Rock was already impatient.

"The ratio of capital ships in each country can be implemented according to 5:5:3:1.75:1.75. If Japan believes that safety is not guaranteed, then our British Empire can suspend the construction of naval bases in the Western Pacific." Rock proposed a plan that fully considered the interests of all parties.

In fact, the main disagreement is Japan. If the United Kingdom temporarily stops building naval bases in the Western Pacific, it can also reduce Japan's potential threat to a certain extent.

"No, 175,000 tons is not enough, we want 300,000 tons -" Albert Sarao still insisted on asking for the same tonnage as Japan.

"We in Italy need 350,000 tons!" Carlo Sanze jumped even higher, 175,000 - who is complaining?

"If France and Italy insist on building more battleships, then Southern Africa will also consider stationing more troops in Cyprus." Roque said brazenly, if the tiger doesn't speak, you will think I am a sick cat.

The combat effectiveness of the Southern African Army has been proven during the World War. Once Southern Africa increases its garrison in Cyprus, France and Italy will definitely be affected.

What's more, France and Italy want more tonnage for the so-called "national dignity", and the threat issued by Roque is real.

"It is absolutely impossible that if southern Africa increases its garrison in Cyprus, then France will increase the size of its army to more than one million." Albert Sarausser said inwardly.

After the World War, France also carried out major disarmament, but in order to maintain the threat to Germany, the current size of the French Army is about 700,000 men.

"You can try. If France expands its military, then Southern Africa will maintain a standing force of more than 500,000." Roque said with a stern voice. Who could he scare with a million troops? During the World War, the French army had 4 million troops, and its combat effectiveness was only that much.

Something happened.

"Canada can still afford an army of 200,000 if we put together the money." Bowden usually doesn't talk, but he is very powerful at critical moments.

"ANZAC three hundred thousand!" Viscount Glaston said more powerfully, "It's only a few hundred thousand people, it's just a drizzle."

"India is not strong enough, so just get a million or two and it will be enough -" Although the personal relationship between Sastri and Rock is not good, at the critical moment, the Commonwealth still needs to be united in dealing with the outside world.

Britain's advantage lies in its colonies all over the world.

If you take Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India alone, they are not a big threat.

However, once mobilized, the Commonwealth's explosive power is still considerable.

In the past, Britain's traditional advantage was its navy. Now, with the addition of the army in southern Africa, Britain has made up for its final shortcomings. It really made Britain anxious. Everyone broke up and went back to continue the arms race to see who Britain was afraid of.
