Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Overturning a warship is not very lethal, but extremely insulting.

The relationship between the United States and Russia is already very delicate. The Americans aided Russia with a large amount of supplies during the war, but this did not bring Russia gratitude to the United States, because the United States itself was one of the culprits of World War II.

Southern Africa and the United Kingdom, due to their relationship with the United States, have been vague in their statements on this issue and have not publicly criticized the United States.

Although Russia has not expressed its position internationally, its domestic propaganda has long identified the United States as one of the culprits of World War II. This has led to Russian officers and soldiers' attitude towards the United States being full of hatred.

Russia's 900 million people have lost 35 million. It can be said that every household is covered with sackcloth and every household wears mourning. This kind of hatred cannot be wiped away with a little aid.

What's more, only a small part of the aid provided by the United States to Russia is free, while most of it not only requires payment, but is also much higher than the normal price. It is clearly blackmail.

Russia, which is beleaguered internally and externally, has no choice but to accept blackmail from the Americans.

But the Russians are not easy to mess with, and there is a high probability that they will not pay the money honestly. What the Americans are after is the interest of the Russians, and what the Russians are eyeing is the principal of the Americans.

Failure to repay the money is a matter of course. Although the United States and Russia have not yet openly broken up with each other, since the sinking of the Russian trawler, the relationship between the United States and Russia has taken a turn for the worse.

"You have gone too far. You can just drive people away. Why do you have to sink the ship?" An Qi was helpless and couldn't stop all day long.

As the relationship between the United States and Russia deteriorates, only Southern Africa can step in as a peacemaker, and other countries are not qualified.

"We were only passively defending. It was the Russian trawlers that actively rammed our cruisers, and we were the victims." MacArthur was even more helpless, as these words sounded like lies.

So An Qi's expression was completely speechless.

Trawler actively rams cruiser?

Can you make it more reasonable?

MacArthur spread his hands, no one would believe him if he told the truth these days.

But if you think about it carefully, something like a trawler ramming a cruiser would be unthinkable in other countries. The Russians might actually be able to do it.

The country of Russia cannot be measured by common sense. The entire country's army was wiped out in the early stages of the war and it was able to make a comeback. This kind of miracle may only happen in Russia.

The key is that this happened more than once.

"Anyway, the Russian ship has sunk, and you must resolve this matter properly." Angel hoped that MacArthur would take the overall situation into consideration. The Russians are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes, so they cannot be offended.

No matter who hit whom, there must be an explanation for the sinking of the ship. The Russian sailors rescued by the U.S. Navy are still being held captive by the Americans. I don’t know what MacArthur wanted to do.

MacArthur's thoughts are actually not difficult to guess.

There is a saying that a good bird hides its bow, but a cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by lackeys. After the war, the soldiers will retreat behind the scenes, leaving the stage to politicians who have been silent for several years.

MacArthur wanted to run for office, and he had to establish a tough image whether facing enemies or allies.

Of course, we can't go too far. If the conflict between the United States and Russia continues to escalate, then Washington will not be able to spare MacArthur.

"The Russians can leave Hokkaido at any time if they want to--" MacArthur expressed a tangled expression. It seemed that it was not the U.S. military that was holding back the Russian sailors, but the Russian sailors who were holding on.

The United States and Russia are allies, and there is certainly no reason to hold the Russians hostage.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Russians.

It is now the middle of winter in Hokkaido, the weather is cold, and sailors fall into the water. If they are not rescued in time, the consequences will be serious.

The logistics of the US military is definitely much better than that of the Russian army. After rescuing the Russian sailors who fell into the water, the US military treated the Russian sailors as honored guests and treated them as officers, which made the Russian sailors very satisfied.

Therefore, the rescued Russian sailors lived very happily in Hokkaido. The U.S. military provided them with plenty of fish and meat every day, and they were really happy.

The Americans want to win over and corrupt the Russian sailors.

Unexpectedly, the Russian sailors not only absorbed all the American sugar-coated shells, but also ate the sugar-coated shells and shot them back, which did not achieve the desired effect of the US military at all.

Since the effect of coaxing corrosion is not effective, the Americans want to send the Russian sailors away.

The Russians can leave, but if the Americans rammed and sank a Russian navy warship, there must be an explanation.

The Russian Navy requires the US military to compensate the Russian Navy for a search warship, preferably the cruiser that sank the trawler.

Only then did MacArthur realize that it is easier to invite God than to send him away.

"Aren't you in the process of disarmament? There are so many warships to be dismantled anyway, so it doesn't matter if you give one to the Russians." An Qi almost laughed out loud, asking you to pretend to be that, but now you are kicked on the iron plate.

"Why don't you give your aircraft carrier to the Russians?" MacArthur looked unhappy. Are you such a peacemaker?

An Qi really wanted to mediate and was worried about the escalation of the conflict between the US military and Russia.

Don’t take this word for granted. After Ang Qi asked MacArthur, she also called for the liaison officer stationed at the Changi Naval Base of the Russian military.

"Our warship was performing normal patrol duties when it was rudely collided by the US Navy, causing serious consequences for the disappearance of more than a hundred naval officers and soldiers. The Americans must give us a reasonable explanation." Lieutenant Colonel Andre Lion

Speaking of which, the destroyer’s establishment is only over a hundred people, and how many people can there be on the trawler——

Is it used for paddling?

"Tell me about your demands -" An Qi had a hunch that the Russians would definitely take a bite out of the Americans this time.

"The Americans must compensate for the loss of our warships, and at the same time compensate the families of the sailors at the price of one million US dollars per sailor. At the same time, the jurisdiction of Hokkaido should be transferred to Russia-" Andrei is not handsome,

It's quite a beautiful thought.

Russia's pension standards for officers and soldiers killed during the war have not yet been introduced, but there are severely disabled veterans who are so poor that they steal potatoes.

This is not a joke, there is a formal verdict.

The judgment clearly stated that because the potato thief had nothing, he was exempt from property confiscation.

You can’t say you have nothing, right?

The potato thief was a second-level disabled soldier who had three children between the ages of 7 and 10 to support.

Although I don’t know how much monthly pension a second-level disabled soldier can receive, if he can raise three children, this veteran probably won’t steal potatoes.

"Do you think the Americans will agree to this plan?" An Qi was curious, wondering where the Russians' confidence lies.

"Definitely not. Although Americans are rich, they are not fools -" Andre was rarely rational.

An Qi became more and more curious, and the price he was asking for was not what he wanted.

"The Americans must pay cash compensation according to this standard, otherwise we will deduct ten times the standard amount from Russia's debt." Andrei was confident, meaning that if he did not agree to compensate according to this standard, Russia would be prepared to be the scapegoat.

.

An Qi took a breath of cold air.

Not only did the Russians take a tough stance, they also demanded cash compensation. This——

Russians have a history of defaulting on their debts.

"Can it be deducted from the debt according to this standard?" An Qi suddenly had a new worry.

Russia owes southern Africa as much money as the United States.

If the Russians default on U.S. debt, southern Africa's money is also in danger.

If you think about it this way, you will have to be careful when dealing with the Russians in the future. Even if a sailor is worth one million dollars, Southern Africa will not be able to sustain it.

There are more than a hundred sailors on one trawler, which is even more than the third brother's motorcycle.

"How can this be done? One code equals one code." Andre disagreed with the withholding and insisted on cash.

An Qi couldn't make the decision on her own, so she went back to make an appointment with MacArthur.

After listening to the Russians' request, MacArthur's eyes were dull.

To compensate for a cruiser, we have to pay 100 million or 200 million U.S. dollars, and we have to hand over the jurisdiction of Hokkaido to the Russian military——

The first two are easy to talk about, but the third one does not count even if MacArthur says it. It needs the approval of the Southern African federal government.

Hokkaido, like the other three islands, is under the joint jurisdiction of the Southern African Expeditionary Force and the US military.

"This request is too much, it's just scoundrel, it's shameful blackmail!" MacArthur came to his senses and couldn't help but cursed.

"This matter has gone beyond what we can handle, and I will report it to the federal government of Southern Africa." Angel also had to remind Pretoria that the Russians were acting rogue again.

"This is why I don't like Russia. They are rude, greedy, shameless and cowardly-" MacArthur continued to vent his emotions, but Angel disagreed.

Greed and rudeness are real.

It's really not that cowardly.

If the Russians' performance in the world war can only be evaluated as cowardice.

How should the Allied forces on the Western Front be evaluated?

Andre did not notice the entanglement between MacArthur and Angel. After leaving Angel's office, he changed into a set of regular clothes, drove the off-road vehicle equipped for Andre at the Changi Naval Base, and wandered aimlessly on the streets of the Lion City.

.

Compared with the ice-covered Vladivostok, the tropical Lion City has just the right amount of sunshine.

Although Russia has a large population, it is still too small for the land area of ​​more than 20 million square kilometers. Andrei has never seen so many people in his life.

Compared with Siberia, which is vast and sparsely populated, the Lion City has one of the highest population densities in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is precious.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War and the crazy Japanese offensive, wealthy people from all over Southeast Asia came to the Lion City, which brought the prosperity of the Lion City to a higher level.

It doesn't matter if there are many people, as long as you have money.

The level of wealth of the people in the Lion City is one of the few in the world.

Vladivostok is the only partially freeze-free port in Russia in Northeast Asia. There are no ghosts on the streets in winter, and quite a few people freeze to death because they drank too much.

The winter in Russia is very long. From October to April of the following year, for half a year, Russians are forced to reduce outdoor activities and stay in warm homes without going out.

Russians are generally addicted to alcohol, and the sales of alcohol products are very high. The disabled veteran who stole potatoes above is probably not the Russian government not giving pensions, but after receiving the pension, all of it is used to buy alcohol, which is why he is so miserable.

.

After coming to the Lion City, Andre's favorite place to stay is on the street. He likes the warm sunshine in the Lion City, the warm smiles on people's faces, and the fast-paced life here. Compared with Vladivostok, this is a warm place.

city ​​of.

"Sir, come and play -" Two young girls in kimonos were trying to attract customers at the door of a bathroom.

It is a traditional skill of the Japanese government for the government to organize employees in special industries to go overseas to earn foreign exchange.

Japan suffered a complete defeat in the war, and the wealth accumulated in the previous year, together with the spoils previously plundered from overseas, were snatched away by the Allies in the same way.

Like Germany, Japan will also have to pay huge compensation to its allies.

The amount of compensation Germany will pay has been determined, totaling 33 billion rand.

Japan’s compensation amount is 22 billion, which is slightly less than Germany.

Regarding this figure, Japan's interim government said it was unacceptable. Japan now cannot afford even 200 million rand, let alone 22 billion rand.

The fundamental reason why the United States ended up joining the war was that Japan had completely depleted its foreign exchange and was no longer able to trade with the United States and import strategic materials from the United States.

Regarding the figure of 22 billion, Japan's interim government also questioned the amount of compensation that Japan should pay.

Germany has to pay 33 billion mainly to Russia because Germany's invasion caused Russia to lose 35 million people.

The losses caused by Japan to southern Africa and the United States are far less than 35 million rand, so the Japanese interim government believes that Japan can only accept compensation of 1 billion rand at most.

Of course, one billion cannot be obtained. If the allies want to obtain compensation from Japan, they must first lend the Japanese a sum of money to allow Japan to complete post-war reconstruction.

There was no way, the East Asian Allied forces' bombing of the Japanese mainland during the war was too cruel. After the war, not a single city with more than 10,000 people in Japan was intact, and each one was carpet bombed by the Allies more than once.

.

According to the Japanese Provisional Government, Japan also lost nearly 4 million people during the war. Therefore, even if Japan caused certain losses to southern Africa and the United States, Japan has paid for it with blood.

Regarding the Japanese government's sophistry, Angel only gave a set of figures.

Japan did not cause much damage to southern Africa and the United States during the war, but it also caused more than 35 million casualties to the Chinese.

Referring to Germany's compensation figures, Japan's 22 billion is not too much, but too little.

Faced with Angel's high pressure, the Japanese provisional government denied it in every possible way, and the specific amount of compensation is still under discussion.

The specific amount of compensation can be negotiated slowly, as the Japanese provisional government urgently needs revenue to maintain order.

As a result, Japanese women were organized again by the Japanese government and went to Southeast Asia in large numbers to engage in special industries in an official manner.

Andre was still very upright. He was not tempted by the Japanese girl soliciting customers and drove straight away. ()
