Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Stanley Baldwin has become accustomed to the habitual distortion of cabinet meetings. Many times, the distortion actually starts from Stanley Baldwin.

It is unlikely that the Southern African Navy and the Royal Navy will encounter each other on the battlefield, but the brain drain of the Royal Navy has attracted the attention of Stanley Baldwin.

There is no way. The Royal Navy, which receives hundreds of millions of dollars in funding every year, has become the target of public criticism across the UK. Previously, Ramsay Macdonald promised to disarmament in the League of Nations in front of all countries, which caused a strong response in the UK.

Everyone is now waiting for Stanley Baldwin to disarmament. As the saying goes, when the navy falls, Britain is full.

 Stanley Baldwin: Dear Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, I have a saying about MMP that I don’t know whether to say or not.

Now it is Ramsay Macdonald who is putting Stanley Baldwin on the fire. If he disarmaments, he will offend the military. If he does not disarma, he will offend the whole of Britain.

 What should we do?

John Jellicoe also knew that the Prime Minister was very troubled, so he had a tough attitude towards southern Africa.

 The military can only demonstrate its value during war.

"We need to warn southern Africa that their actions have offended the interests of the British Empire. The Persian Empire is the protectorate of the British Empire. If we cannot give the Persian Empire the protection it deserves, the credibility of the British Empire will be destroyed."

.” John Jellicoe’s words are thought-provoking.

 “It’s not that serious” Austin disagreed.

 “Are you going to declare war on southern Africa? What an excellent choice!” Neville sneered.

“Austin, send a telegram to Locke and hear what Locke has to say.” Stanley Baldwin chose to listen to Locke’s explanation first.

 Declare war?

Stop being ridiculous, the British Empire can declare war on the whole world, but it will not declare war on southern Africa.

 Southern Africa also knew this, so they bombarded Habahar brazenly.

 That’s what I do, whatever you say, I’ll take whatever cards you’re dealt.

When the British Cabinet is meeting, the Southern African Cabinet is also meeting.

Most of the cabinet members did not expect that Roque would face such a difficult problem just after he took office.

"The shelling of Khakhbahar is to show our tough attitude in southern Africa. Khuzestan is related to the core interests of southern Africa. Southern Africa will not discuss any issues related to Khuzestan with anyone," Roque said as soon as he came up.

Set the tone, beat anyone who dares to claim Khuzestan.

"The Ministry of National Defense is ready to respond to any situation and can dispatch more troops to Port Elizabeth and George Town at any time. Once a war breaks out, we can block the entire Indian Ocean at any time." Martin was full of confidence. Although he did not name anyone, his words were clear.

The words refer directly to London.

　To put it bluntly, even if he falls out with Britain, Martin is confident that he can win.

  Roque’s last order before leaving the Ministry of Defense was to expand the air force base in Cyprus.

 This is a precautionary measure. Once a war breaks out, no matter who the opponent is, Cyprus, isolated in the Mediterranean Sea, is the only weakness in southern Africa.

 Cyprus originally had a large air force base, stationed with two fighter wings, a torpedo wing, and a bomber wing.

 After the expansion is completed, the size of the Cyprus Air Force Base will be doubled, and the control of the surrounding sea areas will be increased accordingly. Once a war breaks out, even if it cannot be fought, it can still go to Port Elizabeth through Marlborough, thus perfectly bypassing the Suez Canal.

 You can see who it is aimed at.

 Do you think it’s the UK?

Don’t ask, ask about the Ottoman Empire.

 The spirit of the Ottoman Empire in heaven: I thank you for being so remembered even though you are dead.

“Has it reached the point where a war breaks out?” Stoudemire was surprised. This was his first time attending a cabinet meeting.

　　But Stoudemire loves this feeling so much. Are all the topics discussed in your cabinet so hot? War, blockade of the Indian Ocean, etc. can be discussed at every turn. Can we discuss some normal topics and not be so shocked by UC at every turn?

"Not yet, but compensation is unavoidable. The navy sank the Persian heavy cruiser Darius, and we must be prepared to compensate the Persians for a heavy cruiser." Ada is relatively normal, and it would not be a problem to start a war.

, it is inevitable to lose money.

The battleship "East India" bombarded Harbahar. In addition to sinking the heavy cruiser "Darius", it also caused dozens of casualties and more than ten people were missing.

The 340mm main gun of the battleship "East India", once fired, disappearing usually means that the bones are gone and turned into powder.

However, compared with the property damage caused, Persian lives were worthless.

"Why should I compensate them for a heavy cruiser? I still want to ask the Persians for compensation. The shells for the main guns of battleships are very expensive. The main guns are also worn out even if they are fired continuously. The officers and soldiers also need combat allowances when performing their missions. 'East India'

One shot can cost tens of thousands." Martin can also calculate the economic calculations, and the navy is indeed burning money.

“If the ambition of the Persians can be eliminated, then it is acceptable to lose some money.” Owen did not want a war to break out. Southern Africa needed a stable environment to sustain development, and the destructive power of war cannot be ignored.

However, this issue must be viewed from two aspects. Although war will have a certain negative impact on economic development, war is also a catalyst for economic development. The wars initiated or participated in by Southern Africa in recent years have brought huge benefits to Southern Africa.

It can be said that without the war, there would be no southern Africa today.

 It is a pity that if a war breaks out with Persia, it will not bring much benefit to southern Africa. Persia’s most valuable Khuzestan already belongs to southern Africa.

"It also depends on how much the loss is." Ada is also willing to lose money, but not too much.

"The purpose of compensating money is to protect the dignity of London. Just give it some thought. If the Persians want to compensate Darius, they can find a heavy cruiser that is about to be decommissioned and compensate Persia." Rock can also accept this plan and agrees with Khuzestan.

No matter how much you lose, you still make money.

“But we don’t have heavy cruisers that are about to be retired.” Martin was embarrassed.

During Rock's tenure at the Ministry of National Defense, the Navy's warships were updated at a relatively fast pace. All the heavy cruisers built in the early days have been retired. The heavy cruisers currently in service were all newly built after the end of the World War. There are really no heavy cruisers that are about to be retired.

to the Persians.

Decommissioned warships are not just dismantled and scrapped. The heavy cruiser "Darius" sunk by the "East India" battleship was a scrapped warship purchased by the Persian Empire from Britain.

The same is true for Southern Africa. Retired warships can be sold to other countries in the Southern African Union at a discount, because the replacement speed of Southern African warships is relatively fast. Even those retired warships still have very good performance and are very popular with neighboring countries.

 “We don’t have it, Europe does.” Ada and Roque share the same mind, and they are a perfect match.

It's embarrassing to say that, despite the fact that the federal government of Southern Africa has only been established less than 20 years ago, the market for retired warships is better than that of many European countries. For example, no country is willing to take over the retired warships of France and Italy, and they can only accept being dismantled.

The fate of selling scrap metal.

Ada's meaning is also very clear. If the Persians want compensation, they can go to Europe to find a heavy cruiser that is about to be retired and buy it at the price of scrap metal to compensate the Persians. Anyway, the "Darius" is a second-hand goods.

“You don’t have to go to Europe, Favalte Steel Group has them.” Henry said proudly. As for warships, there are many in southern Africa.

Fawalt Steel Group not only mines mines, but also recycles scrap steel from all over the world. This work is done even at a loss.

The cost of obtaining iron ore for Favalte Steel Group is very low, much lower than recycling scrap steel and recasting it. Therefore, there is no profit at all for Favalte Steel Group in the industry of recycling scrap steel.

The reason why we have to make a loss is mainly to create greater difficulties for Japan to obtain resources. You must know that Japan relies on recycling scrap steel from the United States to be able to build "Nagato" and "Mutsu". Now Fawalt

Steel groups have also begun to get involved in this industry. If Japan wants to import scrap steel from the United States, it will have to pay more costs.

Not long ago, Favart Steel Group just purchased several decommissioned warships from the United States. Although the weapons on the ships have been removed, this is not a problem for southern Africa.

The "Darius" heavy cruiser purchased by the Persian Empire from Britain was actually an ironclad ship in British service in the last century. It is now far behind the times, so it was sold by the Royal Navy.

 The Royal Navy is indeed not authentic. It sells decommissioned warships in southern Africa and then renovates them before selling them. It depends on business reputation.

The British bullied the Persians too much. They didn't even renovate it, but sold it directly to the Persians at a very high price. This behavior was similar to extortion.

Roque is still very satisfied with this plan. Now it depends on the attitude of the Persians. If the Persians still want Khuzestan, they might as well just fight a war.

 Unless the Persians are beaten painfully, the Persians will not give up those unrealistic fantasies.

 The meeting ended, and Hoover, who had not yet left southern Africa, was waiting for Rock in the office.

When Hoover came to southern Africa this time, in addition to congratulating Roark on his assumption of office, he also had an important task, which was to discuss with Roark the implementation of the "Dawes Plan."

  So far, American Wall Street tycoons have invested more than US$1 billion in Germany through the "Dawes Plan".

This fund is a timely help for the beleaguered German government. There is a detail that many people have not noticed. After the United States increased its investment in Germany, Mustache, who was originally sentenced to 5 years in prison, served 9 months.

He was released early after a month.

Roark doesn’t know if there is any relationship between the American investment and the early release of the mustache, but it does seem to make people think a lot.

ps: The swallowed chapter has not been released yet. Brothers who watch pirated copies, don’t go too far. Just watch it. Don’t irritate me, okay? Be careful, I will retaliate against you.
