Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

It can only be said that a few photography enthusiasts were too careless. They took too many photos in more than a month. In order to check the effect, they simply set up a darkroom in the hotel room.

Alyssa sneaked into the room of the photography enthusiasts while they were out taking pictures. As a result, dozens of photos were hanging in the darkroom. The content was not about seals and flamingos at all.

Then there is nothing to hesitate about. The Walvis Bay Police Department cooperated with Brad's office and took action together.

Rock ignored these trivial matters. After Roosevelt came to power, the United States quickly recovered from the economic crisis, commodity exports increased rapidly, and its impact on southern Africa's exports became increasingly greater.

Don't look at the huge gap between the commodity output of the United States and Southern Africa in 1928. Two years earlier, the GDP of the United States was almost the same as that of Southern Africa in 1926. It was only after the economic crisis broke out that the gap gradually widened.

After all, the economic downturn in the United States in the past two years is still there. Factories have resumed operations at full capacity, farm income has been guaranteed, and the economy has begun to recover quickly.

Of course, there is still a gap compared with southern Africa.

One thing to note is that in 1929, the technology of American companies was not much better than the technology of Southern African companies.

Even in another time and space, the United States robbed a large number of scientists from Europe after World War II, which completely changed the situation of technological backwardness. Pushing forward twenty or thirty years, the reputation of American products is no better than that of German products in Europe.

Where to go.

They are all copycats anyway.

Again, the "Made in a Country" label on a product at this time is definitely not an honor, but a reminder to consumers not to buy products of worrying quality.

In Europe today, only Germany accepts American products without any grudges.

The economic recovery in the United States has also put tremendous pressure on the British government.

When the time came to 1929, the British economy still showed no sign of recovery. The differences between the Cabinet and Parliament still existed. The Conservative Party regained its advantage and the Labor Party fell into splits. The degree of social division was increasing. The Cabinet held meetings every day.

Discussing how to deal with the increasingly fierce international competition, Ramsay MacDonald is not interested in this. His main energy is spent on disarmament conferences.

June 1st is the day when the Conference on Disarmament officially convenes.

As Yang Smuts had judged, a huge controversy broke out on the first day of the Conference on Disarmament. The core issue was whether Russia was qualified to participate in the Conference on Disarmament.

After the joint intervention, Russia was excluded from Europe and forgotten in a corner of the ice and snow.

Otherwise, what else could we do? After the fall of Tsarist Russia, Russia made it clear that it wanted to pay off the debts owed by Tsarist Russia. The interventionist forces led by Britain and France could not defeat it again and again, so they could only turn a blind eye to Russia.

But when it comes to disarmament, we cannot turn a blind eye to Russia.

After all, it is the "European Gendarmerie" that has intimidated Europe for hundreds of years. If Russia does not participate in disarmament, then the disarmament conference will be meaningless.

In Europe today, France still maintains a standing army of about 700,000 in order to deter Germany.

Poland, which was established after the end of the World War, also established a standing army of about 300,000 people in order to cope with Russian pressure.

Other countries, such as Germany, were restricted by the Treaty of Versailles and could only retain 100,000 troops.

After the end of the British World War, the Army was disbanded on the spot, leaving only the Navy with a total strength of less than 200,000.

However, the combined military strength of all European countries is not as large as Russia's standing army.

Because Russia has been excluded from "civilized society" for a long time, Russia's military strength is not transparent, and Russia has not joined the League of Nations. The League of Nations can only guess. A conservative estimate is that Russia's military strength should be around 1.8 million.

Today's Russia is not the Russia of the Tsarist era.

The Russian army is no longer the "European military police" that lacks clothing, lacks discipline, and is lax in training, and is prone to collapse at a moment's notice. The 1.8 million Russian army is the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of European countries.

Therefore, after Ramsay McDonald proposed convening a disarmament conference, he immediately sent an invitation to Russia, hoping that Russia could participate in the disarmament conference.

Russia readily agreed, and Ramsay MacDonald hoped to use the disarmament conference to reduce the threat Russia posed to Europe.

Russia also hopes to use the Conference on Disarmament to return to the "family of nations".

However, Russia's participation in the disarmament conference aroused strong opposition from Poland.

Beginning in 1772, Russia, Prussia, and Austria led the three partitions of Poland.

Through these three partitions, Russia occupied about 62% of the original Polish territory, totaling more than 460,000 square kilometers, Prussia occupied about 20%, totaling about 141,100 square kilometers, and Austria occupied about 18%, totaling about 141,100 square kilometers.

121,800 square kilometers.

In 1916, the German government took the lead in allowing Poland to become an independent country.

In 1918, Russia announced the abolition of a series of contracts that partitioned Poland and recognized that the Poles enjoyed "the undeniable right to independence and unity."

During the Paris Peace Conference, the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers passed a resolution agreeing to reestablish the Polish state, recognize the Republic of Poland, and recommend drawing a temporary dividing line between Russia and Poland.

This temporary dividing line was strongly opposed by Poland, which advocated the restoration of the 1772 border line. To this end, Poland took the initiative to provoke the Soviet-Polish War with the support of Britain.

Britain supported Poland in order to force Russia to pay back the money.

Unexpectedly, the Poles failed to live up to their expectations and could not defeat the Russians, so Poland was forced to agree to accept the dividing line recommended by the Paris Peace Conference.

The year before last, a military coup broke out in Poland. Piłsudski came to power through the coup, actively cooperated with Germany, and signed the "Polish-German Non-Aggression Pact" with Mustache.

Although Poland was forced to accept the demarcation line set by the Paris Peace Conference, it was unwilling to do so and had been seeking to restore the 1772 border line for many years. Therefore, Ramsay Macdonald invited Russia to participate in the disarmament conference, which aroused strong opposition from Poland.

Poland's purpose is to permanently exclude Russia from mainstream European society.

Ramsay MacDonald has nothing to do with southern Africa, but he still has something to do with Poland.

After the good offices of Ramsey MacDonald, Poland reluctantly agreed to Russia's participation in the disarmament conference.

On the second day of the disarmament conference, conflicts broke out again, this time between France and Germany.

After weighing the matter, Germany agreed to participate in the disarmament conference.

But Germany only has an army of 100,000 men and cannot cut it, so the focus of the conflict lies in France.

France has good reasons and can disarmament, but France will only agree to disarmament when France's security is guaranteed.

To ensure France's security, we must ensure that Germany does not pose a threat to France.

So France's request is very simple. If Germany abolishes all its 100,000-strong army, France will agree to disarmament.

However, it is impossible to abolish them all, at least the necessary troops to maintain the Maginot Line must be retained.

Germany will never agree to this request.

So the Disarmament Conference, just as Roque had judged, began to fall into a long tug-of-war.

From May to August, Ramsay Macdonald presided over disarmament in Geneva, Switzerland.

In the past three months, Roosevelt adopted a series of policies to successfully promote the recovery of the U.S. economy, and U.S. aid to Germany also increased, which ultimately led to Germany's increasingly strong performance at disarmament conferences.

At the same time, patience is getting less and less.

Also in the past three months, Southern Africa has passed 500 million bonds to add a new round of military procurement, mainly used to purchase new "Wind" fighter jets, second-generation "Eagle" long-range strategic bombers, and Panther tanks.

Still in these three months, the shipbuilding plans of France and Italy were finally released. France decided to build a "Dunkirk" class battleship with a full load displacement of 35,000 tons. A total of two ships were built, the first of which was the "Dunkirk".

, the second "Straborg".

Italy has decided to build a "Veneto" class battleship with a full load displacement of 45,700 tons. There will be two ships of the same class, and more will be added later depending on the situation.

Just after the data of the "Veneto" class battleship was exposed, Italy's main rival in the Mediterranean, France, was surprised to find that the "Dunkirk" class battleship was already lagging behind even before it was launched.

So France decided to develop a more powerful battleship, which was the "Richelieu" class battleship with a full load displacement of 45,700 tons.

The crazy shipbuilding plans of France and Italy are still within the scope of the "Washington Naval Treaty" and should not trigger a worldwide arms race.

The key is that this time point is wrong.

The League of Nations is holding a disarmament conference in Geneva. What do you want to do in the Mediterranean, where you are building battleships?

And they built such a large one right from the start. Among the G7, the American "Colorado" class battleship has a full load displacement of only 37,500 tons; the British "Nelson" has a displacement of 43,100; the Japanese "Nagato", "Mutsu" 39,100, and other "Dunko"

After the completion of the "Erk" and "Veneto", the G7 will soon be upgraded to the G11, which has to make the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan look at each other.

The shipbuilding plans of France and Italy have also caused concerns in southern Africa.

Don't forget that Southern Africa also has a squadron in the Mediterranean.

Although the strength of the Mediterranean Squadron is weak, and the largest warship is only a heavy cruiser, after all, Southern Africa also has core interests to protect in the Mediterranean, especially when it involves Roya and Arthur Jr., Stoudemire's attitude is the most intense.

After learning that Italy was going to build a "Veneto" class battleship, Stoudemire expressed serious concern about the situation in the Mediterranean and hoped that Southern Africa could break through the restrictions of the London Naval Treaty and build more battleships and aircraft carriers to protect Southern Africa.

overseas interests.

To put it more bluntly, we must resolutely protect the Baron of Cyprus and his family of three on the island of Cyprus.

"Look, each of the five major naval countries in the world has more than a dozen battleships and a dozen aircraft carriers. The total number of warships is hundreds. What do we have? Oh, we have a hundred cruisers and destroyers, but one

Can hundreds of cruisers and destroyers fully protect the interests of southern Africa? No! So we need more warships!" Stoudemire directly advocated in Congress.

Following Stoudemire to Congress were Martin and Patton, who were also eager to try.
