Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The Japanese are really inflated now. They will quit whenever they want, without any regard for the face of their former allies.

 At this naval meeting, while safeguarding its own interests, London was actually ready to make concessions to Japan.

There is nothing we can do if we don't give in. The UK is now unable to cope with the challenges from the United States and Southern Africa at the same time. Japan and Germany are both suffering from scabies, and the United States and Southern Africa are the most serious problems. At this time, the United Kingdom is reminded of the former Anglo-Japanese alliance.

, hoping that Japan can create some trouble for the United States and Southern Africa in East Asia and attract the attention of the United States and Southern Africa to East Asia.

The Japanese also have their own plans. Even if the naval meeting relaxes the restrictions on battleships, it is impossible to relax them to 70,000 tons in one go. Therefore, the Japanese have no intention of signing the naval treaty. This time they come to the UK. What is the purpose of the Japanese?

In addition to the secret technology exchange with the Germans, another important purpose was to withdraw from the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty.

 Now that the technological exchange with the Germans has been stranded, withdrawing from the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty has become Japan's only goal.

Without Japan, the earth would still spin. Roger Case's proposal was unanimously agreed by all countries except Japan, and the Second London Naval Treaty was adopted.

 At this time, the negotiations between the United States and Southern Africa had not yet ended. Angel and Arthur left London and returned to Southern Africa after the naval meeting. Yang Shimozi was responsible for all negotiations with the United States.

"See the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese. They don't care about us or the international order. They are only profit-seeking and arrogant. They are trying to turn Asia into Japan's Asia. This is unacceptable to all of us." Japan's withdrawal has given rise to

Yang Shimozi’s best excuse.

Hull had nothing to say. Japan's behavior seemed familiar to Hull.

Didn’t the United States join the League of Nations as soon as possible?

The United States also has the Monroe Doctrine in America.

The United States also hopes to turn Asia, at least East Asia, into American East Asia.

"After returning to Washington, I will submit a report to Congress to gradually reduce trade with Japan, impose restrictions on strategic materials including steel and oil, and curb Japanese expansion as much as possible." Hull did not give a specific time.

, as the negotiations deepened and the scope involved became wider and wider, Hull had to be cautious.

Like steel companies, if U.S. oil companies are not allowed to sell oil to Japan, they must find ways to give U.S. oil companies adequate compensation.

So in the current negotiations, oil companies from the United States and South Africa have also joined in. The conditions given by the Southern African Oil Company are that if the American oil companies reject Japan, then the Southern African Oil Company will guarantee the interests of the American oil companies in the United States.

U.S. oil companies hope to get more. In addition to the withdrawal of Southern African oil companies from the U.S. market, U.S. oil companies also hope to form a price alliance with southern African oil companies to jointly carve out leeks in the European market.

This suggestion was immediately responded to by the Southern African Oil Company. The two parties hit it off and reached an agreement faster than the steel companies.

 The key is resources. The oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico are very rich. Even if American oil companies cannot get involved in the Persian Gulf, they can still survive.

Steel companies cannot do this. The grade of iron ore is too important. Southern African steel companies control the upstream resources, and U.S. steel companies have to try their best to fight for it.

“Then I hope we can cooperate happily.” Yang Shimuzi was very satisfied with the result. The Philippine colonial government would find a reason to take back the port leased to Japan. This was also part of the outcome of the negotiations between Yang Shimuzi and Hull.

 Rock was basically satisfied with the outcome of the naval meeting.

 Japan withdrew at the last moment, and the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty have effectively lost their binding force.

  The new London Naval Treaty stipulates that before 1943, the signatory countries will no longer build new capital ships. This is actually not very binding.

 Neither Japan nor Germany signed the London Naval Treaty, so neither Japan nor Germany will be restricted.

  The new London Naval Treaty stipulates that when countries believe that their own security is threatened, they can break through the restrictions of the London Naval Treaty.

 After the failure of technology exchange with Japan, Germany began to seek to obtain relevant technical data for the "City" class aircraft carrier from southern Africa.

This is not difficult for Germany. As mentioned earlier, after Germany entered the Rhineland, many southern African Germans left southern Africa and returned to Germany, including some engineers from Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edward Shipyard.

To these engineers, the technology of the "City" class aircraft carrier is not a secret. Although the core technology cannot be taken away, the part taken away is enough for Germany to build a new "pocket" aircraft carrier.

 Germany now has a navy.

 The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the German Navy could only possess six non-dreadnought battleships of 10,160 tons and equipped with 280 mm main guns.

  As well as 6 light cruisers, 12 destroyers and 12 torpedo boats.

 Must not build or own submarines.

The German Navy is also a thief. Like the German Army, the German Navy took full advantage of the loopholes in the Versailles Contract and used this small fleet to cultivate a large number of naval talents. These naval forces usually retired after serving for two to three years and then became members of the German Navy.

Reserve talents, once the German Navy expands its forces, those reserves can return to active duty as quickly as possible.

Now that Germany has broken through the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty and openly manufactured submarines, this will definitely make Britain and France feel threatened by the sea.

 So there is no need to do anything in southern Africa now, just wait for Britain and France to take the initiative to break through the restrictions of the London Naval Treaty.

February is the height of summer in southern Africa. The first "Island" class aircraft carrier launched, the USS Madagascar, is leaving Walvis Bay Port for Halifax to accumulate some experience in cold zone areas.

 The "Madagascar" has been confirmed to be attached to the Atlantic Fleet. Walvis Bay, like Halifax, is the home port of the Atlantic Fleet.

Everything is good in Southern Africa, except for the temperature balance, which cannot simulate the scenario when aircraft carriers are used in cold zones. Halifax can exactly meet this demand. The only hidden danger is that Halifax is too close to the United States.

"It doesn't matter if we are close. Even if we bring Madagascar to New York and let the Americans look at it, it is impossible for the Americans to get the relevant technology from Madagascar." Robinson Barney, a senior engineer at Walvis Bay Shipyard and a member of the "Island" class aircraft carrier design team, told

There is confidence in the "Island" class aircraft carrier, and it will take more than a day or two for the Americans to obtain the relevant technology of the "Island" class aircraft carrier.

"Don't cause trouble. We will drive Madagascar to Halifax, and then drive back to Walvis Bay safely. The mission will be completed." Li Ao, a rear admiral from Nyasaland who is very likely to serve as the captain of the "Madagascar"

Be cautious, it is very risky to sail the "Madagascar" under the noses of the Americans in such a big way.

Especially in the context of the sinking of the Lexington, Li Ao was worried that the appearance of "Madagascar" would stimulate the fragile self-esteem of the Americans.

Even if the Americans don’t know the actual performance of the “Madagascar”, just looking at the appearance will reveal some information about the “Island” class aircraft carrier, which may bring inspiration to American aircraft carrier designers.

Of course this is inevitable. Aircraft carriers cannot always stay in their home ports. Their strong deterrent power is also the value of aircraft carriers.

Leaving the Whale Bay and heading north, the "Madagascar" was escorted by four "Durban" class light cruisers and carried out various training missions as planned. There was also a "Table Mountain" class supply ship in the fleet to provide supplies for the entire fleet.

, according to the plan, "Madagascar" will make a short stop in Saint-Roch before heading to Halifax.

This is also an adventure. Don’t forget that Madagascar was once a French colony, so going “Madagascar” to Saint-Roch will definitely bring back some unpleasant memories for the French.

On February 15th, the "Madagascar" arrived in Saint-Roch, and Saint-Roch prepared a grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of the fleet.

This is the first time a southern African battleship has come to St. Roch.

The length of the "Island" class aircraft carrier is more than 260 meters, the flight deck is 58 meters wide, and the height of the part above the water is about 45 meters. The reference floor building is about 15 stories high.

After the German army entered the Rhineland, the French people were panicked. Recently, French people have been queuing up to apply to settle in Saint-Roch. The price of a small apartment in Saint-Roch has soared to 1.75 million francs, an increase of 140% compared to half a year ago.

.

 This is still in short supply.

Christian and Renard Capet have made a fortune. Renard Capet, a Frenchman, is still a member of the Council of Saint-Roch, and the French government does not care.

The French government is now overwhelmed. After Germany entered the Rhineland, some members of the French Congress even proposed that the entire border area between France and Belgium be given to southern Africa, so as to make up for the hidden dangers caused by the insufficient coverage of the Maginot Line.

 The French still want to lose face because this proposal was not passed.

 Leonard Capello regrets that if this proposal is passed, the area of ​​San Roque will be comparable to that of a small country.

 At the "Welcome to Saint-Roch" pier, Leonard Capet and Li Ao shook hands warmly, with red flags waving around them, firecrackers blasting, and gongs and drums noisy.

Of course, there are also disharmonious factors. When the "Madagascar" arrived in Saint-Roch, some French people outside the Saint-Roch pier held slogans such as "Peace, not aircraft carriers" to oppose the arrival of the "Madagascar" in Saint-Roch.

Without exception, these people were taken away by some bald men in black clothes. Leonard Capet was not a weak French politician.
