Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Compared with southern Africa, Britain is like an old aristocrat whose family has fallen into decline. It is obviously weak and still has to rely on some illusory things to maintain its so-called respectability.

Probably in the eyes of the Royal Navy, the Southern African Navy is a distant relative of the nouveau riche who came from the countryside. Although its economic strength has lagged far behind, the Royal Navy still relies on the so-called so-called exquisiteness of cutting mustard into shreds to mock the shortcomings of the Southern African Navy.

Measure your capabilities.

Yes, even though the Southern African Navy already has ten aircraft carriers and thousands of carrier-based aircraft, in the eyes of the Royal Navy, the combat effectiveness of the Southern African Navy is still far inferior to the Royal Navy.

"Why is this thing so hard? I'm afraid even the dogs won't eat it!" Li Ao discussed with Yang Shimozi sincerely, without hiding his voice.

Thumbs up, who had been looking at Robinson Barney with a smile just now, suddenly looked angry.

"Li, you have to understand that Europeans have been eating this stuff for thousands of years, and most of them are too poor to even afford it. They don't have as many cooking methods as you. In the final analysis, they are still poor, that's all.

When ordering food, you don’t need to study too much cooking techniques.” Yang Shimozhi grabbed the bamboo shoots and knew how to sting the British.

Sir Charles Forbes felt that the fried fish in his hand suddenly lost its flavor.

Dudley Pound opened his mouth but said nothing.

What can I say? You are the one who made the mistake first, and you cannot blame others for saying unpleasant things.

If it were an Indian, most Indians would tolerate it.

Southern Africans are not tolerant and respect is mutual. If the Royal Navy itself does not respect others, it cannot expect to be respected by others.

Therefore, the tour activities on the second day were canceled as a matter of course. "Madagascar" even put away the gangway and pretended to leave Portsmouth at any time, which surprised Sir Charles Forbes.

In his opinion, the Southern African navy was overreacting. It was just a joke that was not very funny, but it also fit the poor British sense of humor.

"Lord, this is not a joke. The change of the 'Nelson' salute to live ammunition may be a mistake. The bread at the dinner must be intentional - I don't know who arranged it. I can only say that this is a very stupid behavior, which will seriously affect

Looking at the relationship between the Southern African Navy and the Royal Navy, what makes me curious is, does this have any benefit to the Royal Navy? What you are insulting is the senior general of the future Southern African Navy, and the main design of the 'Island' class aircraft carrier

"——" Yang Shimozi really had nothing to say. After the banquet yesterday, Li Ao had reported the relevant situation to the Atlantic Fleet Command and is now waiting for further instructions from the command.

"The bread was indeed an accident. We delayed for too long on the dock and left the bread for too long. Then we baked another batch urgently, but the kitchen got the wrong one. Believe it or not, the truth is that simple.

."Sir Charles Forbes has not yet realized the magnitude of the impact this incident will have.

"I can accept this explanation -" Yang Smozi's smile was sarcastic, and this explanation was a bit perfunctory: " - but do you think the southern African federal government can accept this explanation?"

Sir Charles Forbes' face froze and he blurted out: "What does this southern African federal government have to do with it?"

Probably in the concept of Sir Charles Forbes, this kind of trivial matter is simply insignificant. Even if the commanders of the "Madagascar" were slightly aggrieved, they should focus on the overall situation and not make this matter a big deal.

It is a pity that Sir Charles Forbes ignored that in the eyes of southern Africans, diplomacy is no small matter. It does not matter that the commander of the "Madagascar" was a little wronged, but the "Madagascar" is in Portsmouth and represents the federal government of Southern Africa. Li Ao

They didn't lift the table at that time, they were already focusing on the overall situation.

As for "the overall situation is the most important thing" in another sense, if Sir Charles Forbes dared to say that, then most likely Li Ao would reply: "Fuck your mother, the overall situation is the most important thing."

The other side is already deliberately humiliating you, but you still focus on the overall situation. You really have a sense of the overall situation!

Han Xin had enough sense of the overall situation. He could bear the humiliation of his crotch, but he was killed by a group of women in Changle Palace. All the relatives of his family, young and old, were killed.

"Do you think the Southern African federal government would allow the Southern African navy to be humiliated like this overseas?" Yang Smuts raised the issue. Instead, the Royal Navy visited Halifax and was treated like this by the Atlantic Fleet.

Can the Royal Navy tolerate such treatment?

Most of the time it's intolerable.

"This is not an insult, Minister Smuts, don't take it so seriously." Charles Forbes was flustered. If this matter got serious, he, the commander of the Home Fleet and the commander of the Portsmouth Naval Station, might have to retire.

"I don't want to say whether it is insulting or not. If the Atlantic Fleet does not get a reasonable explanation, then the Southern African Navy may terminate all cooperative relations with the Royal Navy." Yang Smozi sneered. The Royal Navy may not understand the situation.

, the British government must be well aware of the importance of southern Africa to the British Empire.

At the same time that Yang Smuts issued the ultimatum, Neville was listening to a report from Foreign Secretary Austin at No. 10 Downing Street in London.

"——That's what happened. Some idiot in the mainland fleet, or some idiots, wanted to give the 'Madagascar' a showdown, but they messed up. I have received a report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa, requesting

We give a reasonable explanation." Austin has grown old. He is now 70 years old and still serving the United Kingdom.

"What do those idiots want to do? Don't they know that we still need the help of the Southern African Navy to cope with the increasingly severe international pressure?" Neville yelled, and the Royal Navy was also spoiled and ignored everything.

Never think about the consequences.

"Of course they know, but what makes them feel more uncomfortable is Madagascar, so some people are eager for our relationship with southern Africa to deteriorate, so that they can get more military spending to build new warships." Winston

We haven't set off yet, waiting for Neyang Smutzi to go to southern Africa together.

Neville and Austin both frowned, this explanation seemed to be the most reasonable now.

Otherwise, there is no reason for the Royal Navy to do this. It cannot be just to satisfy someone's inner bad taste and make such a big joke.

"Build warships, build warships, change 'Elizabeth' into that shit, I haven't held some people accountable yet -" Neville roared crazily. He, the Prime Minister, must be very aggrieved and had no imagination at all. The spirit in the middle is high and there are constraints everywhere.

The change of "Elizabeth" to "Ark Royal" is becoming increasingly backward and has become a popular joke in the UK to ridicule the Royal Navy.

After this incident happened, it fully stimulated the creative enthusiasm of the British people, and various jokes came into being. Newspapers even published cartoons mocking the Royal Navy.

When "Madagascar" arrived in St. Roch, "The Times" published a comparison article about "Madagascar" and "Ark Royal". Not to mention that "Ark Royal" lagged behind in terms of performance, its cost was actually higher than that of "Madagascar". It was more expensive and slower to build, which was really unacceptable to the British.

Against this background, the Royal Navy indeed needs to regain some face.

It is a pity that the Royal Navy chose the wrong way. Not only did it fail to regain face, but it further exposed the meanness and ignorance of some people, which made Neville heartbroken.

How can such a Royal Navy ensure the security of the British Empire?

"The most important issue now is how to give the Southern African federal government a reasonable explanation. I suggest replacing the Royal Navy commanders on a large scale. Our current commanders-haha-" Winston also sneered, saying above In World War I, the Royal Navy actually did not perform well. It had to change its command three times in the battle of the Dardanelles. In the end, it was Field Marshal Roque who led the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to win the Battle of the Dardanelles.

That’s outrageous!

"Who is qualified to take over as commander of the mainland fleet?" Neville finally calmed down, and his anger would not help solve the problem.

"Andrew, General Andrew Cunningham, he is a suitable candidate. He is young, energetic and motivated. The key is that General Andrew Cunningham has a pragmatic spirit that the Royal Navy lacks now." Winston recommended it on his own initiative. , Andrew Cunningham is indeed one of the few outstanding British naval admirals in recent years.

"I think Marshal Roger Keyes is more suitable. He is also energetic and experienced. The current Royal Navy needs a steady commander like him." Austin also has a suitable candidate, Roger Keyes starts from the qualifications In terms of performance, he is indeed more suitable than Andrew Cunningham.

"Marshal Roger Keyes is old, and he is seeking a seat in the House of Commons. If he becomes the commander of the Home Fleet, nothing will change." Winston disagreed. Roger Keyes was from Park. Roger Keyes, who retired as the commander of the Cismauch Naval Station, is also responsible for the decline of the mainland fleet into the situation it is today.

"Call them separately and ask them to come to London. I want to talk to them in person." Neville would make a decision after talking to Andrew Cunningham and Roger Case respectively.

As for Sir Charles Forbes, he needed to go to London for medical treatment due to physical reasons. The duties of Commander of the Home Fleet and Commander of Portsmouth Naval Station were temporarily held by the Second Lord of the Admiralty, Dudley Pound.

Roque is basically satisfied with this result. Although the mainland fleet has not been purged, it is enough to arouse some people's vigilance.

But in the eyes of some people, the British government has obviously gone too far, and it’s just a piece of bread, isn’t it?
