Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1296 MMP

On July 7, the British delegation successfully arrived in New York, USA.

New York used to not be called this name, but called "New Amsterdam", a colony of the Netherlands.

After the end of the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the defeated Netherlands was forced to cede New Amsterdam to the United Kingdom. It happened to be the birthday of the younger brother of King Charles II, the Duke of York, so Charles II renamed New Amsterdam New Yorkshire. As a gift to the Duke of York.

At the beginning of the [-]th century, New York was a brand new world for immigrants, with opportunities everywhere, so New York was also known as the "Big Apple", which means that it is beautiful and delicious, and everyone wants to have a bite.

In 1920, New York was gradually replacing London as the financial center of the world.

Although there is a sudden rise in southern Africa, the current United States is still very scary. The territory of the United States is 930 million square kilometers, of which the arable land area is 19745 million hectares, accounting for 150151% of the world's total arable land area (13.15 million hectares). It is the country with the largest arable land area in the world.

The United States is rich in resources. The total proven reserves of mineral resources rank first in the world, and the reserves of coal, oil, natural gas, iron ore, potash, phosphate, sulfur and other minerals rank among the top in the world. The forest area is about 44 billion mu, with a coverage rate of 30.00% Three.

The United States now has a population of more than [-] million, ranking fourth in the world, and its GDP surpassed that of the United Kingdom at the end of the last century to become the world's number one.

After the end of the World War, the United States challenged Britain's maritime supremacy. Britain's largest and most advanced warship is the "Hood" battlecruiser with a full load displacement of 46800 tons and eight 15-inch (381 mm) main guns. The British originally planned to build three battleships of the "Admiral" class, but due to the financial situation of the British government, only one "Admiral"-class battleship was built in the end.

The "Colorado" class battleship that the United States began to build last year has a full load displacement of 37500 tons and uses a 16-inch (401 mm) main gun with a larger caliber than the "Hood". The United States plans to build four battleships of this class.

In addition to the "Colorado" class battleship, the United States is also preparing to build a "Lexington" class battlecruiser with a full load displacement of 44638 tons. This class of battleship is also equipped with a 16-inch main gun, and the United States plans to build six.

Once the United States builds these 10 battleships, the whole world will be shrouded in the shadow of American battleships.

When the British delegation arrived in New York, the first ship of the Colorado class, the "Colorado", was being built by the New York Shipbuilding Company. After knowing the specific data of the "Colorado" class battleship and the US shipbuilding plan, Alexander, the British delegation.

"The Americans are so crazy. With ten battleships equipped with 16-inch main guns, the U.S. government is not afraid of being dragged down financially." Viscount Gladstone sighed. Originally, Viscount Gladstone thought that southern Africa was a local tyrant, but now he looks at the United States. So generous, Southern Africa suddenly pales in comparison.

Compared with the United States, most of southern Africa is a moat, and the United States is the real local tyrant, and it is also rich in local tyrants.

"Don't be fooled by the little tricks of the Americans. If the Americans are really rich, why would they propose to hold a naval conference—" Rock has already seen through the tricks of the Americans. There is only one truth, that is, the United States has no money now, but blowing out It's awesome and can't get it back, so I set up a navy meeting to find a way for myself.

Against the backdrop of the economic crisis, the world's largest GDP must also tighten its belt.

"Ah, you mean—" Viscount Gladstone didn't know enough about America.

"Same as you think." Rock sneered.

The virtues of Americans are well known in another time and space, and they are still very confusing now.

In another time and space, the United States relied on the illusory "Star Wars Project" to drag SOV to death, and then refused to fabricate facts to start the Gulf War. Even the US Secretary of State admitted that "we lie, cheat and steal". glory".

"But the threat of the 'Colorado' class battleships to us—" Viscount Gladstone was worried. According to the standards of the British Royal Navy, the UK now has no battleships that can compete with the "Colorado" class battleships. Great Britain is unimaginable.

Before the World War, the British Admiralty publicly declared that for every battleship built by Germany, Britain would build two to ensure the overwhelming advantage of the German Navy in the Royal Navy.

Now the British Admiralty stopped shouting, and the Admiralty also wanted to build bigger and stronger warships, but unfortunately Congress did not allocate funds.

"Instead of worrying about the 'Colorado'-class battleships, we should worry about Japan's 'Nagato' and 'Mutsu', which pose a greater threat to us." Rock is always wary of Japan, which is a typical example of militarism.

日本的“长门”号战列舰于1917年8月28日动工建造，1919年11月9日下水，现在已经完成了一大半，即将交付海军。

The "Nagato" battleship has a standard displacement of 39120 tons and a full load displacement of 42850 tons. It is equipped with eight of Japan's most advanced 410mm main guns and has a maximum speed of 26.5 knots. However, when it was made public, the Japanese Navy concealed its speed as 23 knots. .

This routine was also used in Britain. Before the outbreak of World War II, in order to confuse Germany, when the British announced the "Queen Elizabeth" battleship, they also reduced the 15-inch main gun equipped on the "Queen Elizabeth" battleship to 14 inches.

There hasn't been a war between the United States and Great Britain since the American Revolutionary War.

However, this does not mean that the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is okay. Now the United States is eyeing Canada and trying to annex Canada, which has caused increasingly tense relations between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Britain has extensive interests in Asia. After the World War, Japan regarded Asia as its own territory and was committed to expanding Japan's influence. If this continues, there will be conflicts between Britain and Japan sooner or later.

"Japan is a bit mysterious. Did they really acquire the 16-inch main gun technology?" Viscount Gladstone was very skeptical. He probably thought it was another smoke bomb thrown by Japan.

The information released by various countries in terms of military affairs is true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish. To obtain real information, the efforts of the secret service department are needed.

"It may be true, maybe it's more than 16 inches, it should be 16.14—" Rock has more information in his hand, 16 inches is 406, and 16.14 is 410.

"You don't have Brad under your command, can you get some information?" Viscount Gladstone has expectations for Roque. This seems to be the task of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Roque doesn't want to have any more disputes.

Japan is also an amazing country. Ten years ago, Japanese naval guns still needed to be purchased from outsiders. Now they can produce the world's largest caliber naval guns. It seems that Japan is the only one that has opened up.

While speaking, the battleship "Queen Elizabeth" sailed into New York Harbor.

This is the first time that British battleships have come to the United States since World War II.

Because of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, there are a lot of people who came to the port to welcome the British delegation. Vice President Thomas Riley Marshall and Secretary of State Bainbridge Kirby all appeared on the scene and came to the dock to welcome the British delegation. Americans more than 3000.

Regardless of the fact that the GDP of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom has a very special status in the eyes of Americans. After all, the United Kingdom was once the suzerain of the United States.

Rock was dressed in the uniform of a British field marshal, and he stood extremely dazzling in the British delegation. It was a coincidence. In the British delegation, only Rock was an active soldier. impossible.

Rock looked at the welcome crowd on the pier with a blank expression. In this era, the United States is still implementing the "Chinese Exclusion Act", and its attitude towards Chinese is extremely repulsive. Rock is now a British, but Rock has never forgotten that his body What flows is Chinese blood.

As the "Queen Elizabeth" battleship docked, the sailors put the gangway on the "Queen Elizabeth" battleship, and Roque followed Belfort onto the gangway.

"Lord Nyasaland, good day—" Thomas Riley Marshall was all smiles. The powers of the Vice President of the United States and the President of the United States are very different. Opportunity to meet the British delegation in place of Wilson.

"Your Excellency, good morning—" Roque was very polite. Strictly speaking, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" implemented by the United States has nothing to do with Roque. Roque is now a British citizen.

Came to the pier to meet the Japanese delegation who arrived in New York ahead of schedule and arrived in the United States ahead of schedule.

The head of the Japanese delegation is Baron Yusaburo Kato, the Minister of the Navy. He is an artillery expert and one of the important figures in the construction of the navy in Japan after Gonbei Yamamoto.

"Lord Nyasaran, it's a pleasure to meet you. If possible, I hope to have dinner with you." Kato Yusaburo acted quite urgently. He probably thought that Rock, as a Chinese, should have more interests in Asia. Consistent with the Great Japanese Empire.

"My lord, good day——" Rock really didn't have much enthusiasm, Japanese and Chinese, hatred can't be resolved at all.

At this time, Rock was surprised to find that someone on the pier had put up a sign saying "Yellow people get out of New York".

This aggressiveness was a bit clear, and Rock went directly to Marshall, reminding Marshall how vicious the slogan was.

Marshall's face was livid, and immediately a large group of secret-level policemen rushed over and directly knocked the signer to the ground.

During the World War, the American Expeditionary Force also had to cooperate with the British Expeditionary Force to fight. Rock was indeed of Chinese descent, but no one dared to treat Rock with the same attitude towards Chinese.

"Sorry, Lord Nyasaran, this is not what we want to see—" Marshall apologized to Rock himself.

Rock smiled politely, and said that MMP would like to greet the eight generations of Marshall's ancestors. Such a thing would happen on such an occasion. There is a problem with the organization and discipline of the US government.

Also normal, it's very American.
