Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The United States and Japan are both Roark's biggest worries. One directly threatens the Commonwealth, and the other directly threatens...

In other words, Rock's British identity limited Rock's contact with the Chinese.

Otherwise, with the strength of southern Africa, Japan would have been pushed to the ground and rubbed hard.

If the United States tears up the Washington Naval Treaty, it will be in line with Rock's wishes.

Rock didn't care whether a war would break out between the United States and Japan. Without the "Washington Naval Treaty", Southern Africa could just develop its navy openly, and those "Congo" class battleships no longer needed to be secretive.

By the way, among the four "Congo" class battlecruisers, the "Congo", which is progressing the fastest, now has more than 80% hull completion and is expected to be successfully launched before the end of the year.

Compared with the speed of building warships in southern Africa, this speed is slightly slower.

However, the "Congo" class battlecruiser after the overhaul is completely different from the previous "Normandy" class battleship. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is starting from scratch, and the slow progress is understandable.

After the battlecruiser "Congo" is completed, it will join the newly formed Atlantic Fleet and become Patton's flagship.

Also assigned to the Atlantic Fleet is the aircraft carrier "Orange" which is under construction.

The "Orange" aircraft carrier is the third of the "Transvaal" class aircraft carriers. The first two are "Transvaal" and "Cape", and the fourth is "Nyaasaland".

"Number.

From this ranking, we can see the status of Nyasaland in southern Africa.

Stoudemire is very dissatisfied with this ranking. He has nothing to say about Transvaal and Nyasaland. Even Cape Stoudemire can accept it. What the hell is Orange? Just because Orange is Bronn

Fontaine is in the state, so Orange can override Rhodesia?

This question is so frustrating.

Because of the serious differences between Rock and Stimson, the originally planned meeting for the next day was canceled directly.

Curzon invited Stimson to dinner.

Rock goes to see Ade and Kitchinna.

"We cannot make the slightest concession to the Americans. It was because of London's concession that we lost the thirteen states of North America." Kitchener's attitude was firm. From the looks of it, Kitchener would probably like to resume his concessions to the United States if possible.

colonial.

It's impossible, my lord, times have changed.

"Times have changed. We must be cautious when checking and balancing the United States, and we must not be self-defeating." Adelaide faced the reality. The United States still has great potential for war. Strictly speaking, it is now close to southern Africa, and there is no confrontation with the United States.

strength.

To put it bluntly, it is still a gap in human resources. In recent years, the average annual population growth rate in southern Africa has actually been more than 10%. This figure includes immigrants.

Even so, the total population of southern Africa has just crossed the 40 million mark, which is still far behind the United States' 110 million.

Therefore, even though Southern Africa has abundant resources, sufficient strategic depth, and developed technological capabilities, without the support of the entire Commonwealth, Southern Africa is still unable to fight against the United States.

"I am prepared to cancel the construction of a military base in the Bahamas and appropriately reduce the troop garrison in Halifax. However, withdrawal is absolutely impossible. Even if we can only retain a symbolic Atlantic Fleet, it can still form a sufficient deterrent to the United States."

Ke has his own ideas, and Kitchina and Ade's suggestions are only for Rock's reference.

"Very good, do what you want, no matter what you do, we old guys will support you -" Kitchener favored Roque. In fact, there are many outstanding young people in southern Africa, but like Luo

But not many people come to visit Kitchener and Adelaide as often as Ke.

Although Kitchina and Ade are now standard cold stoves, there are still benefits to burning cold stoves.

Kitchina and Ade still have a huge influence on southern Africa and even the Commonwealth. Both of them have served the Commonwealth for a lifetime. Their disciples are all over the world. Rock can thrive without Kitchin.

The support of Na and Ade.

Of course, not all Kitchener and Adelaide brought to Rock were benefits. For example, Curzon——

Rock was now very curious about what Curzon would talk to Stimson. Curzon would never engage in any exchange of interests with the United States.

Hard to say.

"Locke, you must learn to rely on London's help. You cannot handle the threats facing the Commonwealth by yourself." Ade is an old man, and a crying child will have milk.

"Yeah, yeah - I understand -" Rock nodded like a chicken and decided to send a telegram to the king later.

Roark worked so hard, but it was all for the sake of the British Empire. King George V couldn't just stand by and watch the fun, he had to help what was needed, and at least give him some benefits.

Later, the conversation between Curzon and Stimson was written into a report and placed on Rock's desk.

Curzon and Stimson did not touch too much on the sensitive relationship between the United States and Canada, but focused more on the economic aspect.

Curzon hoped that the United States and Australia could cooperate more closely to attract American capital to invest in Australia. To this end, Curzon was willing to open the market to the United States.

This is a major benefit for the United States. The Commonwealth has always been monolithic, and the Americans have tried their best to open up the Commonwealth market.

Now that Australia has taken the initiative to "surrender", it is indeed a surprise for the United States.

“What’s worth investing in in Australia?” Sidney Milner is relatively new to Australia.

Sidney Milner came to work for Rock after leaving the Palace of Justice, and his current position is Minister of the Marquis of Nyasaland.

To put it bluntly, he is the chief manager around Rock, the one officially recognized.

"Probably the farm -" Rock laughed dumbly.

For Rock, Australia has huge investment space. This "country sitting on a mine cart" still has many treasures that are still untapped.

For the United States, Australia is useless.

Australia has a vast territory and is sparsely populated. Although it is large in area, it is sparsely populated. Its market of more than five million people is even a fraction of that of southern Africa.

Americans don’t know much about Australia’s domestic mineral resources.

What the United States values ​​is Australia's Commonwealth status.

Fortresses are breached from within, and the United States regards Australia as an opportunity to open up the Commonwealth market.

"You're eating the inside out -" Sidney Milner scolded, hating this kind of traitor the most.

It’s not a traitor. When Viscount Glaston was in Australia, he was helpless about the current situation in Australia and had to seek help from southern Africa to bring some changes to Australia.

The situation faced by Curzon now is more severe than that faced by Viscount Glaston. Viscount Glaston originally had help from southern Africa. After Curzon took office, Australia was besieged on all sides, so Curzon had to turn to the United States to find a solution.

.

"To cooperate with Americans is to seek skin from tigers." Sidney Milner's view of the United States was seriously influenced by Rock.

But for Curzon, perhaps cooperation with southern Africa was the best way to gain skin from the tiger.

By cooperating with the United States, at least the United States has limited influence on Australia.

By cooperating with Southern Africa, Australia will become a vassal of Southern Africa, and may even be annexed by Southern Africa in the future.

"Prepare the car to go to the Palace of Justice." Rock went to find Philip, not forgetting to bring the chat records between Curzon and Stimson.

——

In the Prime Minister's Office of the Palace of Justice, Philip looked solemn after reading the chat history.

Regardless of the fact that Southern Africa has already established an Atlantic Fleet, in fact, Southern Africa's core interests lie in the Indian Ocean, and Australia plays an important role in the Indian Ocean region. The United States is seeking new breakthroughs in Asia. Once the United States and Australia join forces, it will definitely affect Southern Africa's interests.

cause impact.

"What do you think?" Philip asked Rock's opinion.

"Curson is simply crazy. Our relationship with the United States is so sharp, but Curzon wants to cooperate with the United States. He is not only hurting the relationship between southern Africa and Australia, this behavior will even affect the interests of the entire Commonwealth.

." Luo Ke is really not an alarmist. A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. This kind of behavior must be resolutely combated.

"You bastard, I want to send a telegram to His Majesty." Philip's first thought was to complain.

Yes, Governor Curzon was appointed by George V, so George V was responsible for Curzon's actions.

"Send another letter to Prime Minister Hughes, inviting him to visit Southern Africa." Rock was insidious. During Viscount Glaston's tenure, the Southern African consortium headed by the Nyasaland Company and the South African Company carried out attacks on Australia.

A lot of investment, so Billy Hughes had a good relationship with southern Africa.

Compared with Viscount Gladstone, Curzon has a stronger desire for power.

The main reason why Curzon was "assigned" to Australia was that he failed to compete with Stanley Baldwin for the prime ministership. British politics is also about winners and losers, and if you fail, you will have to bear the consequences of failure.

Even though he was sent to Australia, Curzon still refused to be lonely. Smart people knew that cooperation with the United States was not in the interests of the Commonwealth. Curzon still went to hell because of personal grudges. Billy Hughes would probably have some ideas.

.

"Ha, that's right." Philip was enlightened. Only complaining to George V may not have much effect. The resignation of Viscount Glaston has fully proved that London has enough vigilance about the expansion of southern Africa.

If the Australian government is also dissatisfied with Curzon, then Curzon's situation will be very dangerous. George V can impose some restrictions on southern Africa in order to contain southern Africa.

But if this leads to the alienation of the Australian government and London, then George V will not be able to bear this result.

Look, the political struggle is actually not as complicated as imagined. With both the mainland and Australia working together, Curzon might become Australia's shortest-lived governor-general.
