As mentioned earlier, the Empire of Japan has been living in poverty in recent years and has relied on loans. In just two years, the total amount of external borrowings has reached 910 million US dollars. Everyone has to tighten their belts to get by, and there is no money to pay the League of Nations dues.

What is the concept of 910 million?

 The three BIG 7 ships in the United States cost US$27 million each.

 Four aircraft carriers in southern Africa cost only R3.05 million each.

HMS Hood, the largest battlecruiser in the UK, costs only 6.02 million pounds.

Based on the currency value in 1925, Japan borrowed US$910 million, which was enough for Japan to build 42 "Nagato" class battleships.

Of course, the cost of shipbuilding in Japan is relatively high, not to mention compared with southern Africa, compared with the United States and the United Kingdom, the cost is much higher, and it often exceeds the budget.

For example, "Nagato", Japan's initial budget was only 15 million yen. As a result, the budget was repeatedly increased during the construction process, and the calculated cost reached 43 million yen when it was finally completed.

  In 1925, the exchange ratio between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar was about 2:1, and this exchange ratio remained for many years.

Looking at it this way, it is understandable that Japan does not pay the League of Nations dues. After all, the people in the country are already in dire straits, and it really cannot afford to pay the League of Nations dues.

Of course this is by no means good news for Kijuro Shitahara.

   Hatehara Kijuro never expected that before he launched an attack on southern Africa, Andy would already attack the Japanese government, and he would hit the Japanese government's sore feet.

"Yes, if this year's dues are included, the Japanese government has owed 6.5 million pounds, the most among all League of Nations allies." Secretary-General Sir Eric Drummond frowned. Japan, as a permanent member of the League of Nations,

One of the council members not only failed to take the lead, but actually had the opposite effect, which is unjustifiable.

"Oh, is it just the one with the most arrears? It's the only one with arrears, right -" Andy was also unreasonable. Countries in arrears are not eligible to apply for League of Nations arbitration. Japan should be revoked as a permanent member of the Security Council, immediately! Immediately.

!

“Haha, the permanent members of the Security Council who are in arrears of their dues are still the Great Empire of Japan. How can it be bigger? Is your tone louder?” Sal laughed loudly. This is called killing people.

 【Reading Welfare】Follow the public.. account【Book Friends Base Camp】, read books every day and get cash/points!

“The Empire of Japan did not deliberately default on its dues. We are raising funds and will pay all the dues soon.” Kijuro Shitahara resisted weakly. The Japanese government did not want to default on the debt, but it really could not afford to pay.

 For many years, Japan has been trying to leave Asia and join Europe, and has long regarded itself as an "honorary white man" psychologically.

Although Japan seemed to have won a complete victory at the Washington Naval Conference, looking back now, Japan was clearly tricked by the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Italy.

A 300,000-ton battleship cannot be built casually. France and Italy are only 17.5 years old and are powerless. What good intentions can they hide in giving Japan 300,000 tons?

 It is clear that he wants Japan to be dragged down.

If you are not strong enough, don’t even think about seeking an international status that does not match your own strength, otherwise you will be dug into your trap every minute.

"No matter what, we cannot lose the entrance to the Black Sea -" Sir Eric Drummond knew the importance of the Black Sea. Russia is now a polar bear in a cage. If it loses control of the entrance to the Black Sea, then the polar bear will

Will escape from the prison.

Thinking about the British Labor Party, Sir Eric Drummond shuddered subconsciously, "No, we must take precautions against the slightest change."

 “Andy, Southern Africa should take on a greater role.” Jules Josselin hopes that Southern Africa will put aside its past grudges.

"Southern Africa has already shouldered more than its share of obligations. Seventy percent of the League of Nations peacekeeping forces are Southern African soldiers. We have paid more than 10% of our dues. Isn't this enough?" Andy said with a sad face.

There are currently 44 countries in the League of Nations, and Southern Africa is not even a permanent member. It is impossible to ask Southern Africa to do more.

“It seems that there is a southern African army stationed in the Bosporus——” Auckland emphasized that if the League of Nations cannot hold Constantinople, it can be completely handed over to southern Africa.

Constantinople is located on the Bosporus, separated from the Dardanelles by the Sea of ​​Marmara.

During the World War, it was the southern African army that captured Constantinople. After that, a force was stationed in the Bosporus, and it has not yet withdrawn.

 Well, southern Africa cannot be blamed for this.

During the Battle of Dardanelles, the Southern African Expeditionary Force captured Constantinople. At that time, the Ottomans fled Constantinople, and Constantinople almost became an empty city.

As a result, during the World War, tens of thousands of southern Africans and family members of the Southern African Expeditionary Force immigrated to the Bosphorus, Sea of ​​Marmara, and Dardanelles. Now nearly 10,000 southern Africans live in this area.

The federal government of Southern Africa must maintain a considerable number of troops stationed in this area to ensure the interests of southern Africans.

The most critical thing is that when the Dardanelles Strait enters the Mediterranean Sea, Cyprus will bear the brunt. In order to ensure the security of Cyprus, the federal government of Southern Africa must also ensure the security of the Dardanelles Strait.

“What do you mean? Disband the League of Nations peacekeeping forces and hand over the management of the Black Sea to Southern Africa?” Sal, despite his unpleasant name, has a good IQ. He immediately understood what Auckland meant and sang along with Auckland.

"Stop! Shut up, both of you! It is impossible for the peacekeeping force to be disbanded -" Sir Eric Drummond was so angry that the people were disbanded and the team was not easy to lead. Leading such a group of young men, it was very difficult to lead them.

What a bother.

"Haha, Southern Africa has no intention of taking over the Black Sea outlet, but there are nearly 100,000 Southern Africans living in this area, and our Southern African federal government must also safeguard their interests." Andy took his time, Southern Africa is moving

Consider forming a Mediterranean fleet. Once the Mediterranean fleet is officially launched, haha——

 With the exception of the home fleet, which is seriously lacking in presence, the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet are both pretty strong.

However, neither of these two fleets can cover the Mediterranean Sea, which means that the security of Cyprus cannot be effectively guaranteed.

Even if the relationship between Roque and Arthur is not considered, it is necessary for southern Africa to form a Mediterranean fleet to safeguard the interests of southern Africans around the Mediterranean and the southern African federal government.

Don’t forget that Port Elizabeth’s oil pipeline export in the Mediterranean also falls within the scope of the Mediterranean.

Of course, in order not to irritate the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, the size of the Mediterranean fleet will not be too large. It will definitely not have aircraft carriers and battleships. There can be more submarines, and the relevant regional countries will not see them anyway.

 Spain: What do you mean, I am no longer a Mediterranean country?

Greece raised his hand in the corner: I am also a Mediterranean country, but I raise my hand not because I oppose it, but to brush up my sense of presence.

 Egypt:MMP, will you die if you mention me or something——

"Southern Africa does not have a mandate in the Balkans. Why do you have immigrants in the Mediterranean?" Mr. Shigehara regained his strength. He finally saw through that the entire British Commonwealth was the same, and there was no such thing as justice.

 Commonwealth Collective: You are talking nonsense!

"Is it strange? It took three years from the capture of Constantinople by our Southern African Expeditionary Force to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. How could you bear to separate tens of thousands of Southern African soldiers from their flesh and blood? The Garibaldi Peninsula after the war

There are ruins all over the place, people are displaced, and there is almost no complete house. We rebuild our homes on the ruins, repair roads, build water conservancy projects, and the roads are full of blue and blue-" Andy's expression was solemn, his eyes were red, and his voice was deep.

There was a slight tremor in it, and the veins in the hand holding the Itno gold pen were exposed——

 Heck, if there wasn't something weird mixed in, this image would be perfect.

 “Andy, that’s almost it—” Sir Eric Drummond couldn’t help but remind him that if he didn’t interrupt him, Andy would probably have to go back to ancient times.

"Yes, Lord - I just want to say that the current Constantinople and the Dardanelles were obtained by our southern African expeditionary force with the lives of more than 14,000 warriors. No matter who wants to get it from

We have taken Constantinople away from our hands, unless we step over my body!" Andy slammed the table and roared. You scum can sit here and discuss international affairs in a well-dressed manner. You are all very grateful to us in southern Africa.

The dedication of the military.

“Of course Andy, no one denies the sacrifices of the Southern African Expeditionary Force——” Jules Joséland shook his head and smiled bitterly. After the Washington Conference, Southern Africa has become unstoppable.

“So, Shithara-kun, what do you think?” Andy took advantage of this momentum and directly attacked Kishiro Shithara.

"No, General Andy, our Empire of Japan has no opinion on the issue of Constantinople -" Kijuro Shitahara clarified that having no opinion on the issue of Constantinople does not mean that he has no opinion on southern Africa.

Opinion.

“Andy, don’t be angry, no matter what, our Australia will always be with Southern Africa!” Sal, this younger brother, is indeed loyal.

“And we, Canada, any country that wants to target Southern Africa must consider the consequences clearly. Canada is Southern Africa’s eternal brother.” Auckland was unwilling to be left behind and came to Andy and gave Andy a big hug.

 Sir Eric Drummond and Kijuro Shitahara both frowned.

  Jules Josélain was as if asleep.

 The Spanish representative is smiling and applauding softly.

 The Greek representative and Oliver were thoughtful.

Only the German representative stayed away from the incident, watching Andy's performance with arms folded, the sneer on his lips fleeting.

 After talking for a long time, it is still a benefit after all.

 As for the issues that should be discussed——

That is not important, what is important is to position yourself correctly.
