Pretoria, Palace of Justice.

 Rock put down the telegram in his hand, feeling mixed.

 Finally, we have reached this point. Germany and Japan have withdrawn from the League of Nations, and World War II is inevitable.

This was something Rock had always been looking forward to, but seeing World War II approaching, Rock felt a little sad.

 After experiencing the bloodshed of World War I, Rock really did not want to see the outbreak of World War II if possible.

But it only took a moment for Rock to abandon all the negative emotions in his heart.

Roosevelt was right. The old colonial system must be broken. Southern Africa needs a larger living space. Since Britain and France are unwilling to transfer power peacefully, then let's fight. The development of the objective world is not based on personal emotions. Southern Africa

Africa wants world peace, but the world is full of careerists, and Rock can only follow the trend.

"Louis, inform the ministers to come over for a meeting." Rock rang the bell and called Louis. This kind of matter still needs to be discussed with Henry and Xiaosi.

 Of course Ada and Anton are also indispensable.

 An hour later, the ministers arrived in the conference room at the end of the fourth floor of the Palace of Justice.

The ministers all knew about Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations at this time, so the conference room was a bit noisy. The ministers were communicating with each other, and the secretaries and adjutants sitting by the wall were waiting. People were coming and going at the side door of the conference room, and in the office next to it

There are nearly a hundred ministers' entourage at work, and their task is to analyze and prepare various materials to cope with Roque's possible inquiries at any time.

At ten o'clock sharp, Rock, Ade, Kitchener, and Philip walked into the conference room, and the messy conference hall suddenly became silent.

This battle was a bit big. Ade, Kitchina, and Philip rarely attended such formal meetings. Rock and Ade walked into the large conference room from the small conference room next to it. It was obvious that a temporary meeting had just been held.

Closed door meeting.

"Let's get started, Minister Smuts, could you please introduce the situation." Rock's eyes were rarely bloodshot, and the smell of cigars on his body could be smelled ten meters away. This was because Winston had developed it when he was the governor of southern Africa.

Habit.

"Okay gentlemen, I just received the news that Japan officially withdrew from the League of Nations two hours ago because of Sir Lytton's investigation report on the Far East crisis. I have just received the news here that the Executive Yuan of the League of Nations has officially decided to withdraw from the League of Nations.

Japan imposes sanctions." Yang Shimozi's expression was calm, and the sarcasm in his eyes flashed away.

Although I am embarrassed to admit it, the League of Nations' sanctions against Japan may still be just a formality.

 Before the Indian Ocean Fleet obtained Changi Naval Base, Japan still had trade with Europe.

Just after the Indian Ocean Fleet officially took over Changi Naval Base, Japan's trade with Europe became less and less, and its trade with the United States became more and more.

As mentioned earlier, under the premise that southern Africa refuses to provide Japan with any industrial raw materials, Japan mainly obtains the main raw materials needed for industrial production through the United States.

Similar to the reason why the League of Nations' sanctions against Germany were ineffective, the United States has not joined the League of Nations, so the League of Nations' sanctions do not take effect on the United States. This also causes the League of Nations' sanctions against Japan to be a mere formality.

But it’s impossible not to impose sanctions. Japan is not Germany and is not subject to the sanctions of the Treaty of Versailles. Instead, it will be restricted by a series of treaties such as the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty. And as a permanent member of the League of Nations, it is so directly

It is really unjustifiable to withdraw from the League of Nations without imposing sanctions.

It is a pity that such sanctions are of no use to Japan. Instead, they will further demonstrate the incompetence of the League of Nations and further damage the credibility of the League of Nations.

“Don’t place your hopes on the sanctions of the League of Nations. With the support of the United States, the sanctions of the League of Nations will not be as effective as they should be.” Roque put it bluntly. Otherwise, why do we say that imperialism is a paper tiger?

“We can block the Strait of Malacca and prohibit the passage of Japanese merchant ships.” Anton exudes a dangerous atmosphere, Japan has begun military expansion, and time does not wait.

“We can only do that unless war breaks out.” Stoudemire was relaxed and casual. He did not have the unforgettable hatred of the Japanese like Rock and Anton.

If you try it in France, Stoudemire is guaranteed to be more positive than anyone else.

"Japan's military expansion actually did not have much impact on us." Owen also disagreed. The League of Nations only imposed sanctions and did not directly declare war. Southern Africa did not need to be at the forefront.

 When Owen and Stoudemire consider the issue, they are more from the perspective of the southern African federal government.

To be honest, in the Far East these years, Southern Africa has been under attack. On the contrary, Japan has a more tolerant attitude and tries to avoid conflicts with Southern Africa.

 Several times, patrol ships at Changi Naval Base and the Japanese Combined Fleet met in relevant waters. Japan retreated on its own initiative and did not confront the nearly provocative Changi Squadron.

 After the outbreak of the Far East crisis, migration from southern Africa was not affected.

 Therefore, Owen did not want the conflicts with Japan to accumulate to an unbearable degree.

  After all, Japan’s 300,000-ton battleship is also a huge challenge for southern Africa.

"Japan's expansion will not be satisfied at its current level. As Japan's ambitions continue to expand, sooner or later conflicts of interest with us will break out. What will we do then?" Anton knows what Irving and Stoudemire are worried about. They

The worry is that once a war breaks out, it will greatly affect the interests of southern Africa.

No one now doubts Roque's judgment on immigration. They are both countries with large populations. The performance of Indians and Chinese is very different. The Chinese have contributed indispensably to the success of southern Africa today. This is the consensus of everyone.

Until now, the immigrants in Southern Africa are still mainly Chinese. In the past 30 years, the population of Southern Africa has climbed from 2 million to 80 million, and it has become a world-class power. Irving and Stoudemire are actually just worried, not afraid.

 Giving Southern Africa another three years, Southern Africa's population will exceed the 100 million mark. Irving hopes that Southern Africa can delay its quarrel with Japan until three years later.

“When the time comes, we will bring together the Southern African Union and the Commonwealth to deal with Japan.” Owen has not given up on the Commonwealth.

 This is normal. If the interests of southern Africa will be affected, then the interests of the United Kingdom will definitely be affected.

 So when the time comes, there is no need for Southern Africa to take the initiative. Britain will take the initiative to bring Southern Africa together to deal with Japan.

 Even the United States.

Think about it, the interests of southern Africa and the United Kingdom have been affected, and the Americans still want to stay out of it?

Even if the Americans wanted to, the Japanese would not dare to let the American influence exist. After all, the United States and the United Kingdom were both countries founded by the Anglo-Saxons, and they were of the same clan and race.

 The Japanese must understand the saying "Those who are not of my race must have different minds."

“I’m afraid that the United Kingdom will not be able to take care of Japan at all by then.” Anton has no expectations for the United Kingdom. The support depends on everyone, not to mention the country, even if he is an individual, he can only rely on himself.

Whoever wants to place his hopes on others should not blame himself for being pua

"The key is the attitude of the United States. We have to win the support of the United States." Henry suddenly interjected. In recent years, the most hated southern African by the Japanese, besides Roque, may be Henry.

 Do you still remember the rag collection companies that Rock and Henry established in the United States?

They are really collecting rags, and they are competing with the Japanese to collect rags. Doesn’t Japan rely on purchasing scrap steel from the United States to build a joint fleet?

Henry's Favalte Steel Group would rather lose money to recycle steel than steal food from Japan. It has long been hated by Japan.

The reason why Japan hates Roark the most is because Roark voluntarily gave up his dividends in Fawalt Steel Group, so the money Henry lost belonged to Roark, so Henry would not feel bad.

It is obvious now that the United States does not need to do anything. As long as the United States agrees to participate in the economic blockade of Japan, Japan will not be able to survive for a few days even if it expands.

It really won’t last a few days. Although Japan’s combined fleet is quite scary, when the combined fleet needs to move, Japan will have to import everything.

 Southern Africa will definitely not sell oil to Japan, nor will East India, no matter how high the price offered by the Japanese is.

 So Japan can only import oil from the United States.

 It makes me cry when I talk about it. The little money Japanese women earn from buying things is used to buy oil and scrap steel from the United States. Americans earn this money.

It’s a shame!

“The Americans will not participate.” Ada curled her lips. The ambitions of the Americans were also shared by Sima Zhao.

 One more sentence.

With Germany's current strength, even with the support of Britain, the United States, South Africa and Russia, it is still too early for it to revive. What Germany needs now are allies.

 Powerful allies.

 So even if Germany does not approach Japan, the Americans will pull strings from it.

It’s a pity that Americans are still elementary school students when it comes to conspiracy and conspiracy, not even as good as the Japanese. As a result, they accidentally got too big and involved themselves in it.

But this is all for later.

“Minister Anton, transfer all two aircraft carriers of the East India Fleet to Changi Naval Base.” Even if Southern Africa does not fall out with the Japanese now, Rock will still create enough pressure on the Japanese.

Anton was stunned, he didn’t expect Rock to be so radical.

“At the same time, transfer the aircraft carrier USS George and the battleship USS West Africa of the Atlantic Fleet to Diego Garcia.” Roque is going to abandon the rhythm of the Atlantic and directly transfer half of the main force of the Atlantic Fleet.

“Lord, what about the Atlantic Ocean?” While Anton was ecstatic, he was also worried that he would lose sight of the other.

"Don't worry, the Atlantic Ocean is not just our Atlantic Ocean." Rock said indifferently. The British and Americans support Germany. You can clean up the troubles you have caused yourself.

 Europe must be put first before Asia. In southern Africa, Asia must be put first before Europe.
