Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

2610 Believe in the Prime Minister’s ability

The glory of the British Empire has gone forever with the decline of the Royal Navy, and the centripetal force has also declined.

After Southern Africa left the Commonwealth, Canada, Australia, and India became the core countries of the Commonwealth. These countries have serious problems of their own.

Australia is isolated overseas and needs a powerful Royal Navy to maintain contact with the mainland.

After the outbreak of World War II, Fleet Z was completely wiped out. The British did not worry that they could not guarantee Australia's security. Instead, they sent Australian troops to North Africa to participate in the war, completely ignoring Australia's security.

India's problem is even more serious. During the last world war, Britain promised to give India greater autonomy after the world war ended. As a result, the Indians were completely sidelined.

After the outbreak of World War II, Britain repeated its old tricks. This time it not only promised more autonomy, but even promised to allow India independence to defraud the Indians into helping.

The Indians were unwilling to be fooled, but they did not have the determination to violently resist British colonization, so they launched the non-violent non-cooperation movement under the leadership of Gandhi and resisted the British in a way with Indian characteristics.

To put it bluntly, non-violent non-cooperation means neither resistance nor cooperation. In Gandhi's words, one would not even participate in the Imperial Conference, let alone preside over the Imperial Conference.

Canada's problems stem more from historical legacy.

When the United States became independent, British and Canadian forces occupied Washington and burned the White House to the ground. The United States has not forgotten this and will always keep it in mind.

After the Second Boer War, Britain began to shrink its global strategy, and the threat from the United States to Canada suddenly increased.

Then Canada leased Halifax to the Southern African Atlantic Fleet, and the relationship between the Canadian government and the Southern African federal government developed rapidly.

During the two world wars, Britain's strength continued to weaken. If southern Africa had not taken timely action, Canada might have become a vassal of the United States.

Since the United Kingdom cannot provide enough security guarantees for Canada, seeking protection in southern Africa has become Canada's only way out.

Taken together, the current situation of the British Empire is very dangerous, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

At this time, Attlee also gave Roark something to play with, so it's no wonder Roark was angry.

"The rise of Southern Africa is inseparable from the help of the British Empire -" Attlee was also indignant. Southern Africa owes its existence to the blessings of the British. People must not forget their roots.

Rock laughed dumbly.

Winston said something similar before.

Now that the old incident of Attlee has been brought up again, probably for all British people, this incident is an inner demon that they will never be able to get around.

It’s not difficult to understand if you think about it.

If southern Africa were still a British colony.

Even southern Africa is still a member of the Commonwealth, so the current internal and external troubles of the British Empire will surely be solved.

No, it won't be as bad as it is today.

So it’s not that the British don’t work hard, it’s that southern Africa is too cunning.

"Then let's settle this account carefully -" Rock wanted to have a good argument with Attlee and see what was right and wrong between southern Africa and Britain.

“Let’s not talk about before 1900, how much gold has the British transported from the Rand Gold Mine since the Second Boer War?”

Rock didn't know much about what happened before 1900.

After 1900, Rock was a witness.

Since the discovery of the Rand Gold Mine, the mining volume has increased year by year and has remained at around 500 tons in recent years.

At least half of these 500 tons of gold were sent to the United Kingdom. This was one of the conditions when the United Kingdom agreed to autonomy and even independence in southern Africa.

"In order to obtain the Rand Gold Mine, the British Empire spent 220 million pounds. After that, it will provide financial subsidies of millions of pounds to Southern Africa every year. The gold from the Rand Gold Mine cannot compensate the British Empire for the price paid." Ed.

Li also has something to say on this matter.

The 220 million pounds in 1900 was roughly equivalent to 1.465 billion taels of silver and 3.25 "Xin Chou Treaty".

If the Second Boer War had not cost too much, Britain would not have shifted from strategic expansion to strategic contraction.

From this perspective, Britain suffered great losses by launching the Second Boer War.

Southern Africa was the biggest beneficiary of the Second Boer War.

"The war was initiated by London, and the consequences should naturally be borne by London. Did the 220 million pounds go to the federal government of Southern Africa?" Rock did not take the blame. The 220 million pounds were military expenses, part of which was sent to the British expedition as remuneration.

A part of the army was stolen by military suppliers. What does it have to do with southern Africa?

Even after the Second Boer War, most of the annual financial subsidies provided by the British to southern Africa were used to appease the Boers. Yang Smuts was a witness to this.

In the years after the Second Boer War, Young Smuts begged for help in London almost every day, and eventually the parliamentary lords in London were troubled.

"You also took away Halifax, Changi Naval Base, Chagos Islands, Port Elizabeth, Cyprus from the British Empire -" Attlee became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, his eyes turning red.

"You gave up Halifax on your own initiative. The Southern African Pacific Fleet was invited by the Canadian government to settle in Halifax - the Changi Naval Base was purchased by the Southern African Ministry of Defense - and the Yin Elizabeth Port was

My private property—" Roque himself felt a little embarrassed. Southern Africa seemed to be making a lot of money.

But these advantages are worth taking advantage of.

Who makes the British have no vision?

Both Halifax and Changi Naval Bases were abandoned by the Royal Navy on their own initiative, and were reborn after being taken over by Southern Africa.

Yin Lisa Bai Port was a fishing village under British management, and the tax revenue was so low that the tax officials sent by the British almost starved to death. It was only after Rock bought it that oil was discovered, and it has skyrocketed since then.

The Chagos Islands gradually revealed its important strategic value with the development of science and technology.

Cyprus was Arthur's fief. When the king granted Cyprus to Arthur, the purpose behind it was not simple.

So Rock really has nothing to be embarrassed about, he is like a whale.

"Don't forget how much help Southern Africa gave to Britain in the two world wars--" Rock added insult to injury and stabbed Attlee hard in the heart: "--In the last world war, Britain's debt to Southern Africa has not been repaid.

It’s clear!”

Attlee's hands were shaking because he was so angry with Rock.

This is the standard way of making money and still selling well.

During World War I, Southern Africa made a wonderful turnaround from a debtor country to a creditor country.

During World War II, Southern Africa became a common creditor of Europe from one of the great powers. From then on, European countries had to work for Southern Africa.

A man with a short mouth and a short hand can take advantage of others. These days, it is not the uncle who owes money, but the truth is the big fist. Attlee was speechless.

From the victory over Winston in July to now, Attlee has been the British Prime Minister for less than 30 days. It can be said that the previous debt of the United Kingdom has little to do with Attlee. It is all caused by the previous prime ministers.

The shortcomings of democratic countries have reappeared. Although Attlee did not owe Britain's debt, it is now up to Attlee to find a way to solve it.

Thinking about it this way, Attlee really envied the Russians who turned their heads like a book.

Russia's debts can be settled at will. The debts owed by the Tsar can be collected from the Tsar. It has nothing to do with the current Russian government.

Compared with Russia, Britain's image is too burdensome and it is difficult to recover.

"Compared with the last world war, Britain's debt has increased again. How are you going to repay this debt? Using more British government revenue as collateral?" Rock stood in Attlee's position and also said

I feel that Attlee's Prime Minister is somewhat boring.

The British Prime Minister is a very prestigious position, one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

Before Attlee ran for election, he probably did not expect that being Prime Minister would be so embarrassing, otherwise he would probably have thought twice about doing so.

This is not about honoring the ancestors at all, but about taking over.

"We will discuss this issue later. Now we are discussing super weapons." Attlee avoided the important and ignored the important.

Democratic countries have their own national conditions. If the debt left by the previous British Prime Minister cannot be solved by the British government of Attlee, it can only be postponed and left to be solved by future British governments. We must believe in the wisdom of future generations——

"If this matter is not resolved, then we have nothing to discuss." Rock's attitude was tough. If he wanted super weapon technology, he had to show his attitude.

Attlee didn't know what Rock's so-called "attitude" was. He still didn't understand Rock well enough and needed to seek advice from Winston.

Winston made further preparations.

It's great that Rock is willing to share his technology about super weapons.

If he didn't want to, Winston wouldn't hang himself on a crooked tree in southern Africa. He would still have to find a way to solve the problem himself.

There is no way.

After learning that Germany had stopped researching nuclear weapons, Joseph Rotblatt left the Manhattan Project and returned to the UK, becoming the only scientist to quit midway.

Now that Joseph Rotblatt has returned to the University of Liverpool, Winston believes that with Joseph Rotblatt's ability, even without the help of southern Africa and the United States, he can lead the team to complete the development of super weapons.

The British originally considered the threat of German bombing, so they sent "alloy tubes" to the United States to join the "Manhattan Project" in the hope of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

Now that the threat of German bombing has disappeared, Britain can reorganize the "Alloy Tube" with Joseph Rotblatt as the core and restart research on nuclear weapons.

"Without our help, the Americans would not have been able to complete the research and development of the atomic bomb in just one year. My experience in the 'Manhattan Project' proves that our research direction is correct, and this will save us the greatest cost."

Joseph Rotblatt was not pragmatic and unlike the British, he was entirely based on the actual situation of the British government.

"Funds are not a problem, time is more important to us." Winston understands priorities. The sooner the UK can possess nuclear weapons, the sooner it can straighten its back.

Although Winston and Attlee were political enemies, Winston felt the same way when he saw Attlee groveling in all kinds of ways in Potsdam.

Attlee represented Britain in Potsdam.

The attitude of Beard and Rock towards Attlee fully proves the serious decline of Britain's international status.

What Winston never expected was that when his plan to restart superweapon research was submitted to the British Parliament, he was immediately strongly opposed by a large number of MPs.

Although Winston has resigned as Prime Minister, as a member of the top British aristocracy, he is still a member of the House of Lords.

There are various reasons for opposition. Stewart Fowler, a member of the Labor Party like Attlee, has a loud voice and bluntly expresses his attitude.

"Since the Americans are willing to provide us with super weapons and agree to use them without the permission of the United States, it is no different from us owning super weapons, so why should we invest huge sums of money in research on super weapons?"

We know that we need to spend too much money now. The Navy needs aircraft carriers, the Air Force needs jet fighters, the Army needs to retain a sizable standing army, and we need to invest more funds in post-war reconstruction——"

It’s not that Stuart Fowler is better off than buying, it’s just that the situation doesn’t allow it.

Britain's strength was severely weakened in the world war, and the national treasury, which was already unable to make ends meet, was completely dried up. Now Winston has to spend a large sum of money to restart the "Alloy Tube" project, making matters worse.

The United States' "Manhattan Project" cost $2 billion.

Even if the UK takes shortcuts, it won't be able to use 2 billion. It will always need 2 billion.

For today's Britain, every penny is precious, let alone 200 million.

Money should be spent wisely.

"We must believe in the Prime Minister's ability and believe that the Prime Minister will obtain the most favorable conditions through the competition between southern Africa and the United States." Conservative MP Wilmot did not believe in Attlee's ability, but wanted to see Attlee.

Deli's joke.

The Conservative Party finally defeated the Liberal Party, but the Labor Party suddenly emerged and replaced the Liberal Party as the Conservative Party's biggest opponent.

Compared with Winston, Attlee lacked international experience. He was an expert in civil war and an outsider in foreign wars. Attlee did not have to think about things that Winston could not do.

When Winston was on stage, the Labor Party was trying to find faults and faults.

Now that the Labor Party has come to power, the offensive and defensive positions are different, and the Conservative MPs are holding their breath, allowing the Labor Party to experience the suffering of the ruling party.

The opposition parties are only responsible for raising problems and not providing solutions to them.

The prime minister has to be responsible to the king, and he has to meet the demands of all strata, balance interests, and be a master of water. If he is not careful, he will overturn.

The mouse got into the bellows and suffered from both ends.

"The Americans have betrayed their trust. We should unite with Southern Africa and Russia to punish the United States. Russia has 10 million troops and Southern Africa has super weapons. It can completely force the United States to share atomic bomb technology."

The congressman who proposed this suggestion is afraid that Russia and southern Africa are so obedient and working for the UK in vain?

For super weapons, it is best if no one has it but we have it. If we unite with Russia and Southern Africa to force the United States to share technology, then Russia will also get it.

If super weapons become cabbage, it will be no different than having no super weapons.
