Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

London in October was gloomy and foggy, and no one could be seen on the streets at four o'clock in the afternoon. In order to reduce consumption, staying at home was the best choice.

This winter in London, compared with previous years, the severity of smog has been greatly reduced. The reason is that many families cannot afford coal for heating in winter. As a result, carbon dioxide emissions have been greatly reduced, and the level of air pollution has dropped significantly compared with previous years. This is also

It can be regarded as British black humor during the economic crisis.

At No. 10 Downing Street, Ramsay MacDonald is at a loss. He now fully understands the feeling of being constrained by Congress. If possible, Ramsay MacDonald would like to imitate Italy and dissolve Congress, so that he may be able to dissolve Congress in a short time.

Get out of the economic crisis.

"Italy has dissolved its Congress and is still severely affected by the economic crisis. Moreover, the Labor Party's influence on the UK is greater than that of the Italian National Party." Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson did not want to see Ramsay Macdonald take risks. Britain is not Italy.

, if Ramsay Macdonald dissolves Parliament, then Britain may collapse.

"I just said it, I didn't really mean to do it." Ramsay Macdonald once again showed political immaturity. When it comes to dissolving Congress, reporters can say it in newspapers, and members of Congress can say it in Congress.

Even the king can say it in Buckingham Palace, but the prime minister cannot.

 Can't be said anywhere.

James Thomas, Lord Privy Seal, and Philip Snowden, Chancellor of the Treasurer, looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

What they are most worried about now is that the coalition government led by Ramsay Macdonald will leave Downing Street in a disgraceful way just like the last time the Labor Party came to power.

The last time the Labor government collapsed, there was still a chance for a comeback.

If it collapses again this time, I don’t know if the British will give the Labor Party another chance.

 The British's patience is limited.

"Our top priority now is to improve people's satisfaction with the coalition government. The problem now is that there is not enough currency circulating in the society, so we must print more pounds and start the money printing press to make the entire society active.

Instead of being as lifeless as it is now." Secretary of War Lloyd George actively suggested.

 The British Liberal Party is indeed in decline.

  Ramsay MacDonald nominally united with the Liberal Party to form a coalition government, but in fact the positions allocated to the Liberal Party were pitiful. As the leader of the Liberal Party, Lloyd George only got one Minister of War.

How miserable is this position?

After the end of the World War, the British Army was disbanded on the spot. Now the British Army only has six battalions, and four of the battalions are Royal Guards and are not under the control of the War Department.

 So Lloyd George, the Minister of War, probably only had two battalions of soldiers under his command, which were still understaffed, and the total strength did not exceed a thousand men.

 Even so, Lloyd George accepted the result.

 It is impossible not to accept it. With the current support rate of the Liberal Party, there is no possibility of independent governance.

And if the Conservative Party comes to power, it will not consider forming a coalition with the Liberal Party. Therefore, the Labor Party is the only chance for the Liberal Party to return to the center of power in the UK.

"No, no, no, we can't do this. If we print pounds without reserves, it will destroy the credibility of the pound and lose its status as a global currency. By then, London will also lose its status as a global financial center." Finance Minister

Philip Snowden is a staunch supporter of orthodox economic policies and firmly does not allow deficit spending as a means to stimulate the economy.

“What should I do? Do you have a way to get Southern Africa to pay more gold?” Lloyd George was tired. This didn’t work, and that didn’t work either. Time was wasted little by little.

This won’t work, and that won’t work either.

 itself is the core of orthodox economic policy. Orthodox economic policy is free trade. The government does not interfere too much in the economy. In layman's terms, it means don't do anything and just wait for God's will.

"So the key now is southern Africa. Send a telegram to southern Africa. If they don't send more gold, then we have to get it in our own way." Ramsay MacDonald is going crazy, this is

A war threat is being issued to southern Africa.

However, launching a war seems to be one of the ways to stimulate the economy. Once the cannon is fired, gold will be worth ten thousand taels.

Of course, the targets of war must be chosen carefully. With the strength of the British Empire, it is no problem to bully countries like Belgium and the Netherlands, but it wants to threaten southern Africa.

 At least the expressions of Lloyd George and Ian Hamilton were despairing.

John Jericho's expression was lively, but not eager to try, but hesitant to speak.

Ian Hamilton's current official position is Commander-in-Chief of the newly established British Air Force.

 Leave aside the Royal Navy, only a madman would do so for the Royal Air Force and Army to threaten war in southern Africa.

There are currently six battalions of the Army. Southern Africa does not need to dispatch the National Defense Forces. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company can defeat the six battalions of the Army.

As for the Royal Air Force, which was trained under the Southern African Air Force, it is not uncommon for students to compete with their teachers. It also depends on who is competing with whom. The Royal Navy was trained under the Spanish Armada and eventually defeated the Armada, thereby establishing the British Three Hundred Years

maritime supremacy.

If the Royal Air Force fights with the Southern African Air Force, let alone the quality of the pilots, the performance of the Air Force's combat aircraft is far behind. How can they fight?

No one can fly high, no one can fly fast, and no one can carry as much bombs. The key is that the number of combat aircraft owned by the Royal Air Force is not as large as that of southern Africa. The current combat philosophy of the Royal Air Force is still stuck in low-altitude dogfights.

To a certain extent, the Southern African Air Force had already started playing super circles during the World War.

“John, is the Royal Navy confident in defeating the Southern African Fleet?” Ramsay Macdonald himself knew that the British army and air force were scum, and he did not put any hope in the army and air force.

"Of course, the Royal Navy can defeat the Southern African Navy without any effort." John Jellicoe ignored the facts and boasted first before talking about it. Then he started to blame the blame as soon as the topic changed: "But it is not easy to defeat Southern Africa. In the end, it has to be

To defeat Southern Africa, we still have to do it on land, as Southern Africa’s land area is too large.”

 John Jellicoe's words made the corners of Ramsay Macdonald's mouth twitch.

This is not what the Royal Navy said when Congress was seeking funding. Based on what the Royal Navy meant at that time, as long as the Royal Navy was given enough funding, Britain could unify Blue Star.

Of course, this statement itself is correct. If the British government can allocate 18 billion to the Royal Navy and let the Royal Navy build one or two thousand ships at once to compete with the G7, maybe it can really unify Blue Star.

The crux of the problem is that when money is needed, the Royal Navy does everything, but when it comes to fighting, it still has to solve the battle on land. So what is the point of so many allocations for the Royal Navy every year?

"The Army is incapable of an expedition to Southern Africa unless we can mobilize more troops than we had during the World War, and there is no guarantee that we can defeat Southern Africa." Lloyd George served as Minister of Munitions during the World War and knew the conflicts between Britain and Southern Africa.

Strength comparison.

During the World War, without the support of southern Africa, it would have taken much longer for Britain to defeat Germany.

 It was even impossible to defeat Germany.

What’s more, during the World War, the main force of the British Expeditionary Force was the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

"Our Air Force has less than 200 aircraft. It is speculated that the Southern African Air Force can dispatch nearly two thousand aircraft at any time, including some advanced fighters that the Royal Air Force does not yet possess." Ian Hamilton did not predict the war situation at all, Dadani

Ian Hamilton was Roark's deputy during the Battle of the Strait and knew southern Africa better than anyone present.

“What do you mean? The fighter jets of the Southern African Air Force are more advanced than our fighter jets?” Ramsay Macdonald was a head and two older. He really didn’t expect that the British Empire had fallen to such an extent.

 Ian Hamilton Don’t speak, silence is the best answer.

“The Royal Air Force takes so much funding every year, but it can’t even guarantee the performance of its fighter aircraft. It is better to develop the navy and air force.” John Jellicoe said something again, which immediately attracted the angry looks of Ian Hamilton and Lloyd George.

Damn, the Royal Navy still has the nerve to make sarcastic remarks. The Royal Navy first takes about 80% of the annual military expenditure, and then the Air Force and the Army divide the remaining 20%. To put it bluntly, the Air Force can guarantee that now

The scale of the army is already good, but the army is really miserable.

“That’s enough gentlemen, we can’t defeat Southern Africa, so we have to change our thinking.” Since this was not possible, Ramsay Macdonald completely gave up the idea of ​​threatening Southern Africa with force.

However, what Ramsay Macdonald did not notice was that just because of his casual words, the Minister of Navy and Army was already at war with each other. It was strange for the Prime Minister to do this.

This cannot be blamed on Ramsay Macdonald. After all, sowing discord is a traditional British skill. This skill is not only effective for outsiders, but also for one's own people.

 “Promote Locke’s title to Duke?” James Thomas brought up the old matter again. This is not the best plan, it is just a reference option.

“Gentlemen, the results of the German general election are out,” Ramsay Macdonald’s secretary hurriedly reported.

 “How about, who is the President of Germany?” Ramsay Macdonald focuses on the political situation in Germany, which is of great significance to maintaining Britain’s continental balance policy.

 “The president is still Field Marshal Hindenburg?” The secretary’s expression was serious.

“Where’s the Chancellor?” Ramsay Macdonald was not surprised that Hindenburg was not the best candidate to serve as President of Germany. Unfortunately, the Germans had no other choice.

“The Chancellor is Adolf Hitler,” the secretary said calmly.

 The cabinet ministers present also had calm expressions. They have not yet realized what this person's appearance means to the world.

  ps: It is estimated that many people are getting married today. There were many road shows around last night. After listening to "My Love at the End of the World" for half a night, my head is now in a daze.
