Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Since the Indian Ocean Navy sank the heavy cruiser "Xerxes", the relationship between southern Africa and the United Kingdom has been a bit dangerous.

Using "danger" to describe it is a bit too much. It has not reached this level yet. It is more appropriate to use "sliding into an uncontrollable abyss" to describe it.

If Southern Africa is still the same Southern Africa that has nothing but the Rand gold mine, London will not pay much attention to Southern Africa.

 The problem is that southern Africa has now surpassed the UK in terms of population and economy, which makes London very uncomfortable.

The British population is generally relatively balanced. After the end of the World War, the British tried their best to immigrate from the colonies to replenish the local population. There was also a gratifying baby boom in the British mainland. Millions of babies were born after the World War.

His birth in the next few years brought hope to Britain that a renaissance seemed imminent.

It’s just a seeming thing. Compared with the United Kingdom, the population structure of Southern Africa is frighteningly healthy. Young adults under the age of 40 account for 85% of the total population of Southern Africa. People like Roque in their early 40s

, in southern Africa, they can almost be classified as "elderly", and the population structure of southern Africa is a standard pyramid, with more people going down the ladder. People over 60 years old account for less than one percent of the total population. In this way,

The population structure is what all countries in the world dream of.

 Compared with population, the economy of southern Africa lags behind the UK.

After the Industrial Revolution, Britain's industrial output once accounted for 51% of the world's total. By 1913, before the outbreak of the world war, Britain's industrial output accounted for only 11% of the world's total.

In 1913, the total industrial output value of Southern Africa accounted for only 4.5% of the world's total. In 1925, it already accounted for 24% of the world's total industrial output value. Together with the United States, it accounted for more than half of the world's total industrial output value. This does not include agricultural output value.

It is different from the calculation method in the United States where even rent is included.

 In terms of statistical data, countries around the world are very different.

When calculating GDP in the United States, even those who live in their own houses are counted as rent. In southern Africa, the statistics ignore all enterprises below the designated size. Generally speaking, farms with an area of ​​about one or two hundred acres are not included in the statistics at all by the Ministry of Finance of Southern Africa, unless there is something found on the farm.

gold mine.

This probability is so low that it is about the same as buying a lottery ticket.

Therefore, the GDP of Southern Africa has a lot of water content, but this water content is not the same as the water content of India where even cow dung is included in the calculation. People always calculate it at a higher level, while Southern Africa calculates it at a lower level.

, there is no such term as “developing country” now, otherwise Southern Africa will also be in this stage for a long time.

What makes Austin fearful is that while Southern Africa is prospering domestically, it is also aggressively purchasing various assets around the world, such as the Iron Quad in Brazil, the Pilbara in Australia, and Khuzestan that was snatched from the Persian Empire.

Same thing.

Of course, Southern Africa definitely disagrees with "robbery". The behavior between small countries is called robbery. Can big gangsters like Southern Africa call it robbery? This is a fair transaction in black and white. If they don't admit it, Southern Africa

Africa's four major arms, three major fleets, and thousands of aircraft will make you admit it.

  Home Fleet: How dare you call a fleet that does not even have an aircraft carrier or a battleship a fleet?

Roark knew that there must be London moles in southern Africa, otherwise the British government would not cling to Khuzestan.

The word "mole" is a common term used to describe "spies" in Britain and the United States. In terms of the relationship between southern Africa and the United Kingdom, the only difference is how many British moles there are in southern Africa, not whether there are any.

 Handing over the mole would be a devastating blow to the British intelligence system.

 If you don’t pay, then there will be no cooperation. There is not even the most basic premise of trust, and cooperation is out of the question.

Rock didn’t expect Austin to give the answer right away, leaving London to grapple with it.

 The meeting was held again the next day. This time Lisa Khan did not appear at the venue at all, and the meeting was finally able to proceed normally.

"The fundamental purpose of the Non-War Pact is to bring peace to the world. For a long time, we have believed that 'justice and justice are only within the range of the cannon.' This is the root cause of our world frequently falling into wars -" At this point, Rock

He glanced at German Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann.

 Gustav Stresemann looked calm, "Justice and justice are only within the range of the cannon" were Bismarck's words.

"The Non-War Pact may not bring real peace to our world, but at least it is a useful attempt to use peaceful means to resolve disputes between countries and regions instead of launching wars at every turn. War is

The last choice after all means have failed, not the first priority——" Rock's words resonated strongly, and everyone listened attentively, except for Kijuro Shitahara who disagreed.

 During the world war, Japan jumped from a debtor country to a creditor country at almost no cost, becoming a model of using small things to achieve greater things.

Since the end of the last century, Japan has won almost all the wars it has participated in, and Japan has also become one of the great powers in the process. The war has brought only benefits to Japan, without pain or punishment. This is also the reason for the gradual spread of corruption in Japan.

root cause.

Since we have never felt the pain, we will naturally have no reflection on the war. For Japan, signing the Non-War Pact will not bring practical benefits to Japan, but will instead become a shackles that bind Japan.

"——As the initiator of the "Convention on the Non-War", Southern Africa promises not to initiate wars and will continue to disarmament on the existing basis. The Southern African Union will also be committed to regional peace and resolve disputes through peaceful means.

, I hope that one day, we can live harmoniously on this beautiful planet of ours, without war, without killing, without wives and children separated, may God bless us-" Rock didn't care about Kijuro Shitahara's mood, he had any opinions.

You have to hold it in, Japan is still very docile now.

Really docile, the Japanese are inherently bully and afraid of the strong, respecting the strong. Japan currently does not have the courage to challenge southern Africa head-on.

  Don’t look at Japan’s show of strength in East Asia. In fact, Japan is an extremely militaristic country, and its industrial heritage is simply not worth mentioning in southern Africa.

  In 1925, Japan's industrial output accounted for only about 3% of the world's total, not even that of Nyasaland.

 Don’t think that 3% is less, it is already good compared with 1913.

  In 1913, Japan's economic share was only 1.3%. With its little industrial strength, Japan could thrive in East Asia. Without East Asia, Japan would be nothing.

 Even under such circumstances, it is a miracle that Japan can still build two BIG 7s.

 So this can explain why the United Kingdom and the United States don't care about Japan, because Japan poses no threat to the United Kingdom and the United States. During World War II, if Germany had not held back Britain and the United States in Europe, Japan would not have had the turn to show off its power in Asia.

 As awkward as Japan is France. After Roque spoke, Briand also had something to say.

"France is happy to sign the Non-War Pact, but France has the legitimate right to ensure its own security. When French interests are violated, France has the right to use all means to fight back, including war-" Briand said

, his eyes were fixed on German Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann.

Gustav Stresemann swallowed his anger. The "Contract of Versailles" stipulated that Germany could only retain an army of one hundred thousand, and it could only be equipped with light weapons. If France was still so afraid of this, then Gustav Stresemann

I don't know what to say.

Roark and Coolidge exchanged a tacit look. Roark and Coolidge already knew the French's position, as long as the French were willing to sign.

"Should the Non-War Pact also set a deadline?" Kijuro Shitahara also has his own calculations. After the completion of two BIG 7 ships, Japan's naval budget has accounted for more than one-third of the Japanese government's budget. In this situation, the Japanese government

It cannot be sustained for a long time.

  Let’s not say that Japan is militaristic. With only a small amount of money, Japan is still trying its best to build warships to compete with the United Kingdom and the United States. What kind of strength are the United Kingdom and the United States, and what is the situation of Japan? There is no comparison at all.

Japan's current situation, if it cannot obtain the same war dividends as the previous Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the World War, then the Japanese government's finances will collapse sooner or later. The war has brought Japan international status and at the same time kidnapped the entire Japan.

Once aboard ****'s tanks, Japan has no way to retreat.

 “Then ten years will be enough——” Rock’s ten years are very particular.

 The "Washington Naval Treaty" expires on December 31, 1936.

It is now 1925, and the Washington Naval Treaty will almost expire ten years later. If there are no accidents, the Second World War will be over by then, and the Non-war Pact will also be meaningless.

“Ten years is too long, five years is almost the same——” Kijuro Shitahara has his appeal.

 The current situation of the Japanese government cannot last beyond ten years.

 Five years later, it was 1930, which was probably the limit of the Japanese government.

 In another time and space, on September 18, 1931, Japan brazenly launched a war of aggression against China, and the time was almost the same.

  After all, in this time and space, the benefits that Japan gained through World War I were far less than those in another time and space.

“Five years is too short and is meaningless at all. It will take at least ten years before the Non-War Pact can truly play its role.” Rock emphasized that ten years was originally aimed at Japan.

“Yes, ten years is indeed more appropriate——” Coolidge didn’t know Roark’s true purpose, and thought Roark was really considering the Washington Naval Treaty.

“Yes, ten years is indeed more appropriate.” Austin also agreed with Rock’s proposal.

“Ten years is enough, it’s better to sign it for a hundred years——” If possible, Brian hoped that the term of the Non-War Pact would be forever.

 This is a typical example of being frightened by war.
