Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1752 Hard and soft
Southern Africa's support to the United States was indeed a violation of the agreement reached between Rock and Roosevelt.
But that happened when the United States broke the contract first. The United States supported the Brazilian military government to seize the Iron Four, which also violated the agreement between Roque and Roosevelt.
Americans have always talked about the spirit of contract, but in fact it is as funny as the Monroe Doctrine. When the rules are beneficial to the United States, the United States will give full play to the spirit of contract.
When the rules are not beneficial to the United States, the United States will rewrite the rules.
Of course, Morgan Jr. doesn’t think so. In Morgan’s view, whether the United States joins the League of Nations should not affect the negotiations between the United Steel Corporation and the Iron Four. The federal government of Southern Africa should not even participate in sanctions against the United States. This is a violation of
It is a serious interference in the independence of the United States. The United States has the right to say no to the League of Nations.
"The United States has not joined the League of Nations, so it is naturally exempt from the constraints of the League of Nations. However, Southern Africa cannot. As a member of the League of Nations, Southern Africa must abide by its commitments to the League of Nations." Luo Lin studied law himself and will definitely do his best.
Maintain the authority of the rules.
"In other words, Iron Four Corners and Favalt Steel Group will participate in the sanctions against the United States." Morgan said with a gloomy expression. If this is the case, it will force the United States Steel Federation to give it a go.
"I'm sorry Mr. Morgan, we can only obey the orders of the federal government." Luo Lin was slightly worried that it was not a good idea to push the Americans to a dead end. The United States is not Japan.
Unlike Japan, which is a powerful foreign country and a cowardly country, the United States itself is still very powerful. If the Americans are really pushed into a hurry, the League of Nations must be prepared to face World War II.
If World War II really breaks out early, then the United States, Germany, and Japan may join forces, plus an ambitious Russia, and a wavering Italy. It's hard to say who will win in the end of the world war.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the federal government of Southern Africa does not want to completely break away from the United States.
"So Mr. Morgan, you need to make full use of the Morgan family's influence in the United States, lobby the U.S. government, and urge the United States to join the League of Nations as soon as possible, so that we can return to the negotiating table." Chen Qiang came out to play red, and the United States did not join the League of Nations.
, because the United States does not want to accept the leadership of Britain and France. The situation now has changed a lot from twelve years ago.
When the World War just ended, the influence of the United States had not yet reached a level that could compete with Britain and France, so the United States chose not to join the League of Nations in order to avoid being affected by the League of Nations.
Times have changed now. Britain and France suffered heavy losses during the economic crisis, and their control over the League of Nations is not as strong as before.
Southern Africa has left the Commonwealth and is showing its strength in leading the League of Nations. If the United States joins the League of Nations at this time, it can share power equally with Southern Africa. This is actually more in line with the interests of the United States.
It is a pity that the United States has been away from the "center of civilized society" for so long that it has lost enough sensitivity to the rights of the League of Nations, so it did not accept the invitation of the League of Nations.
Otherwise, if the United States had just followed suit, there would be no current sanctions at all.
"Don't think you are sure to win, we'll see!" Little Morgan is not someone to be trifled with. Even if the United States wants to join the League of Nations, it will certainly not do so without the League of Nations imposing sanctions.
When the news came back to Pretoria, Rock felt heavy. This kind of thing had never happened in another time and space. Now Rock had lost his biggest advantage as a "prophet" and was really crossing the river by feeling for the stones.
"The war potential of the United States is still very high. During the World War, the United States mobilized 3 million troops in only three months. This mobilization ability is unparalleled in the world." Kitchener suddenly realized that he was wrong.
After all, with the gems of southern Africa at the forefront, the Americans' mobilization ability is actually scummy.
The mobilization capabilities of Southern Africa are truly unparalleled. After the outbreak of the world war, Rock gave an order, and millions of troops were mobilized and marched to Europe in minutes. Southern Africa has strong industrial capabilities, and the alliance countries have almost unlimited resources.
In terms of human resources, in Kitchina's view, this model in southern Africa is perfect.
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not choose war. War is the last option after all methods have failed." Adelaide does not agree with pushing the United States too hard. War must be avoided if it can be avoided.
"The Executive Yuan is too anxious. It should send someone to the United States to clarify the stakes. The Americans will naturally make the right choice. Now they will directly impose sanctions on the United States. The Americans will not be able to step up, and they will definitely become angry." Philip also didn't know Sean.
Why is Ferguson so anxious?
Roque can only say that the current League of Nations does not have the final say in southern Africa.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the control of the League of Nations by Britain and France is declining. The League of Nations has achieved almost nothing under the leadership of Britain and France in recent years. However, this does not mean that Britain and France are willing to abdicate and hand over control of the League of Nations to southern Africa.
Or to put it bluntly, Britain and France might rather dissolve the League of Nations than see the League of Nations regain cohesion and play its due role in international affairs under the leadership of Southern Africa.
That's why the League of Nations is so impatient to sanction the United States.
If Southern Africa wants to show its leadership of the League of Nations, it must take the lead in initiating sanctions against the United States. Otherwise, the League of Nations under the leadership of Southern Africa will have the same lack of improvement as the League of Nations under the leadership of Britain and France.
"I just had a phone call with Howard. The White House should have summoned Howard by now." Rock calculated that it was almost time. Many people in Washington should be awake all night tonight.
Rock was right. Roosevelt did summon Howard immediately to express his strong protest against southern Africa.
"Your Excellency, this is the decision of the Executive Council of the League of Nations, not the decision of the Palace of Justice in Pretoria. For the federal government of Southern Africa, friendly relations with the United States are still very important. Those agreements you and the Lord signed
It is still valid. Of course, we must also take into account the face of the League of Nations, so our trading methods may need some changes." Howard was also helpless. He, the ambassador of Southern Africa to the United States, has had a difficult time in recent years, and the relationship between Southern Africa and the United States has been difficult.
Whenever there is a slight disturbance, Howard will be blamed on both sides.
"How to change?" Roosevelt Jr. remained calm. Based on his understanding of Rock, Rock would definitely not be so pedantic that Southern Africa would cut off all trade with the United States with an official document from the Executive Council of the League of Nations.
There is still quite a lot of trade between the United States and Southern Africa. The United States has a trade deficit and is heavily dependent on southern Africa for raw materials. While Morgan Jr. was negotiating with Iron Four, Standard Oil was actually negotiating with Najd Oil Company.
Just like the dilemma faced by American steel companies, before oil was discovered in the Persian Gulf, American oil companies with Standard Oil as the core were making money in various ways, gradually eroding the market of European oil companies, and Standard Oil became the largest in the world.
Oil companies.
The discovery of the Elizabeth Oilfield changed everything. The oil in the Persian Gulf was of good quality, low cost, and easy to extract. Oil could be produced just by drilling a well. Standard Oil finally experienced what European oil companies felt when faced with Standard Oil.
Again, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Once you taste the benefits of cheap raw materials, you will never go back to the hard days of the past.
When Standard Oil settled its accounts, it was not cheaper to mine its own oil than to buy it directly from Adam Company, so why did it still mine? It was just a matter of spending money to buy it.
Anyway, it’s not like Adan Company doesn’t sell them.
"Trade transit" Howard has already made a plan. Southern Africa cannot do business with the United States directly, but it can do business through a third party, such as Germany.
To put it bluntly, the United States and Southern Africa have gone to Germany to register several companies and conduct trade in Germany, thereby perfectly avoiding the restrictions of international alliances.
This is not without precedent in another time and space. During the Cold War, a certain country broke the Cold War restrictions through a small port, and then the mentality of a small port became imbalanced.
As the saying goes, if you stand on the wind, even a pig can fly.
"But the implementation of sanctions against the United States in Southern Africa will still cause damage to the honor of the United States." Roosevelt was very satisfied, but he wouldn't mind being more satisfied.
"Mr. President, if the United States joins the League of Nations now, none of these things will happen." Howard was helpless. The United States repeatedly rejected invitations from the League of Nations, and the image of the League of Nations was not damaged.
So don't blame anyone. Both sides are responsible for the relationship between the League of Nations and the United States.
"Negotiations between the United Steelworks Federation and the Iron Four will continue." Roosevelt did not settle old scores. The demand for iron ore from U.S. steel companies has reached a level that must be resolved.
"Of course, we cannot let down the efforts of so many people." Howard finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Lin and Chen Qiang have not left yet and are still staying in Nassau. This in itself shows the attitude of southern African companies.
Of course, compared with the ongoing negotiations, the ongoing war in Brazil is much crueler.
Tom's capture was just the beginning. During this period, air battles broke out every day between the military government of Rio de Janeiro and the state capital of Mizhou, with each winning or losing. The ground battle had not yet begun.
The Mizhou Army needs time to mobilize its troops.
The troops of the Rio military government are also unwilling to leave the strong fortress to launch an attack on the Mizhou Army, so the situation is a bit strange now. The air force in the sky has been beaten to death, but the troops on the ground can only cheer.
If the air force is frequently deployed, the Mizhou Army will inevitably suffer casualties. On January 11, three Mizhou Army planes were shot down, one pilot died in battle, and two pilots who parachuted were rescued by ground troops.
So far, all the parachuting pilots of the Mizhou Army have been successfully rescued by ground troops. On the contrary, two more government pilots have been captured by the Mizhou Army.
