Though relations between East Indies and Southern Africa were better, Vargas still wanted to give it a try.

 Compared with New Year's Day, Southern Africa pays more attention to the traditional Chinese Spring Festival.

   The Spring Festival in 1934 was on February 14th, which coincided with the traditional Western Valentine's Day, and the festive atmosphere was even stronger.

 On New Year's Eve, Roque held a banquet as usual at the Palace of Justice to entertain envoys from various countries in southern Africa.

The banquet was of a very high level. In addition to Vargas, Yaya also attended on behalf of the Kingdom of Congo. Verses, who had just served as President of the Republic of Congo a few years ago, was also present in person. From the Sultanate of Najd, Prince Nasser was present, representing East India.

It was a young man named Huang Xingzhou.

This young man is incredible. He has just turned 30 and is already the Minister of Trade of the United East Indian States.

In addition to the above-mentioned Southern African Union member states, all ambassadors from European and American countries in Southern Africa were present. From Australia, Joseph Lyons, the Prime Minister elected the year before, was present.

Like all previous Australian prime ministers, the first country Joseph Lyons visited after being elected as prime minister was southern Africa.

Australia and southern Africa have closer ties now than before.

Under the premise that the British Empire continues to strategically shrink, Australia is in an increasingly dangerous situation. The country covers more than 7 million square kilometers and has a population of only 10 million. Most of them are new immigrants who came to Australia in the past ten years. Among them,

Most of them are Chinese.

 Australia’s economy is completely controlled by southern Africa, not just the iron ore in the Pilbara region. The combined area of ​​private farms owned by Rock and Stoudemire in Australia has exceeded 40 million hectares, and is continuing to expand.

"Canberra is under great pressure now. London hopes to get more gold and high-grade iron ore. Australia's livestock industry and agriculture have also been greatly affected in the past two years. There are also voices in Congress restricting the expansion of southern African companies in Australia, and

I hope that Southern African companies can keep more profits in Australia and provide more jobs for Australians." Joseph Lyons took the initiative to complain that Australia is now caught between Southern Africa and the United Kingdom.

 Rock was a good listener, smiling and nodding frequently, and even offered to pour water for Joseph Lyons.

 While Rock was pouring water, Joseph Lyons stood up subconsciously, feeling quite at a loss.

“You’re welcome Joseph, Southern Africa is Australia’s forever friend.” Rock repeated this sentence countless times in the past few days.

 The strategic contraction of the British Empire in this time and space is more serious than in another time and space.

 In another time and space, Britain's strategy has shrunk, and it still retains its military presence in some key locations, such as Changi Naval Base.

 In this time and space, London sold Changi Naval Base to Southern Africa at cost price early. Britain's military strength around the Indian Ocean is far inferior to that of another time and space. Australia can only rely on Southern Africa to ensure Australia's security.

Without the influx of new immigrants, Australia would be in a similar situation to France, unable to recruit enough soldiers.

No one in France wants to be a soldier because the French people have become disillusioned with the French government.

Australia simply has no people at all. If we imagine the last world war, it is impossible for 5.5 million people to form 550,000 Australian and New Zealand coalition troops.

 In the last world war, Australians also had their spines broken.

 At present, Southern Africa has 7 military bases in Australia, all of which are ports on the coast of the Indian Ocean.

"If a war breaks out, Southern Africa will go all out to protect Australia's security. Neither Japan nor the United States will infringe on any of Australia's interests." Rock gave a clear commitment, saying that these two are Australia's biggest threats.

 As I have emphasized many times before, even though the United States is an ally of the United Kingdom, the United States has never given up its coveting of British colonies.

It goes without saying about Japan. As long as Japan does not want to be trapped in East Asia, Japan will definitely expand towards Australia.

ˆThe Japanese are also in great need of Australia’s high-quality iron ore.

"Thank you, Lord. You must also understand Canberra's difficulties. After all, the United Kingdom is Australia's suzerainty." Joseph Lyons said sadly. Australia can actually strive for the same independent status as southern Africa, but in that case

, Australia also lost the protection of the United Kingdom.

 The biggest difference between Australia and southern Africa is.

 Southern Africa has strong military strength. Even without the protection of the United Kingdom, the Southern Africa Defense Force can still ensure the security of southern Africa.

Australia does not even have a standing army. The navy purchased six "Durban" class light cruisers from southern Africa in the past few years, but it does not even have enough sailors. Now it cannot form a combat effectiveness and can only patrol offshore.

  Joseph Lyons came to Southern Africa this time and had another task: to purchase the "Johannesburg" class heavy cruiser in Southern Africa.

 The "Johannesburg" class heavy cruiser has been in service for more than 15 years. After Southern Africa decided to build a new type of heavy cruiser last year, the "Johannesburg" class heavy cruiser will gradually be withdrawn from active service.

 Retiring from active service does not mean that it must be dismantled and sold for scrap. Sometimes it is just stored and can be used again when needed.

The "Johannesburg" is different. The current main heavy cruiser in southern Africa is the "Los Angeles" class. When the "Los Angeles" class began to be built, the "London Naval Treaty" had not yet been signed, so the "Los Angeles" class's combat effectiveness is pretty good.

, more powerful than ordinary treaty-type heavy cruisers.

 The new heavy patrol to be built in southern Africa is developed based on the "county" level heavy patrol that the British were forced to abandon.

 After the signing of the London Naval Treaty, the construction of heavy patrols in southern Africa will also be restricted by the London Naval Treaty.

However, the London Naval Treaty can be bypassed. Japan can build a 13,550-ton treaty-type heavy cruiser, and so can southern Africa.

The price Joseph Lyons offered for the "Johannesburg" was very high. The price offered by Joseph Lyons for two "Johannesburg" class heavy cruisers was 4 million rand, which was enough to build two new heavy cruisers in southern Africa.

.

 This is obviously a protection fee.

  Roque is very satisfied with Australia’s attitude.

When you are a little brother, you have to act like a little brother, and you always want to share the worries of the big brother. Angel mentioned it to the Australian Ambassador to Southern Africa, and Joseph Lyons came to Pretoria happily.

Sub-"collecting scrap metal", this is enlightenment.

 After seeing off Joseph Lyons, Rock felt a little tired. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair. When he opened his eyes again, Louis had a worried look on his face.

 “Who’s next?” Rock didn’t want to have any free time today. There were many people queuing up outside, waiting to see Rock, making Rock look like the godfather.

 In fact, it is similar. Southern Africa is the undisputed godfather of the areas around the Indian Ocean.

 “Prince Nasser is waiting” Louis rarely saw a tired expression on Roque’s face. Roque was always full of energy in front of others.

 “Invite him in.” Rock cheered up. The Sultanate of Najd was also important to southern Africa.

If it weren't for Prince Nasser's good attitude, Rock would have thought that Prince Nasser was here to show off his wealth.

 There are many types of royal families, one of which is the upstart royal family like the Sultanate of Najd.

Roque knew how much oil was stored under the deserts of the Sultanate of Najd.

 The royal family of Najd did not know.

So when the Adan Company announced that it had discovered oil in Najd, the royal family of Najd was overjoyed.

 Relying on the 10% profit dividend from Najd Oil Company, the Najd royal family quickly became rich, which was fully reflected in Prince Nasser.

Prince Nasser’s ten fingers are covered with rings inlaid with various gemstones. The largest one is as big as a pigeon egg. The diamonds on the necklace wish they could dazzle people’s eyes, but unfortunately they are colorless.

 Thanks to the continuous publicity efforts of De Beers Unified Mining Company, this kind of colorless diamond, which no one wanted thirty years ago, has now become a hot commodity, most sought after by nouveau riche like Prince Nasser.

Stoudemire is also treacherous, linking diamonds with love and noble quality of life, as if buying a diamond can join the upper class society.

 Actually, it’s all nonsense. If diamonds could represent social status, then Stoudemire should be the King of England.

 “Lord, your faithful servant Nasser, I wish you eternal good health.” Prince Nasser’s Chinese is more standard than Rock’s.

 This is the concrete manifestation of national strength.

Thirty years ago, no white people took the initiative to learn Chinese. It was all Chinese who learned English. At that time, all the translators in Huayong Camp were Chinese.

 In the early years, southern Africa consciously exported culture and gradually expanded the influence of Chinese, but the effect was not very good.

Now there is no need to go to such trouble. There is no need to export from southern Africa. More and more white people have begun to take the initiative to learn Chinese. In Najd, the status of Chinese has been raised to the same level of importance as Najd. All members of the royal family regard Chinese as a compulsory course.

If you can’t learn the lesson, you have to learn it even if you put your head down.

 “Sit down, Nasser, you look very good.” Roque liked upstarts like Prince Nasser very much.

Without people like them, who would sell the luxury goods produced by Itno?

 “Thank you for your compliments. The Sultanate of Najd is getting better and better. This is all because of you.” Prince Nasser began to talk non-stop, most of the words he had memorized in advance.

Don’t think that Prince Nasser is stupid. How can someone who is qualified to represent the Sultanate of Najd in southern Africa be a fool?

 Countries like the Sultanate of Najd are more dependent on southern Africa than Australia.

If Southern Africa is dissatisfied with the Australian Prime Minister, it will have to go through the Australian Parliament to change the Prime Minister.

                     

If Rock is dissatisfied with the royal family of Najd, just look at him and the Umbrella Company will take care of the matter.
