Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1391

Leaving the temporary camp, Luke Silva really went to Leonard Wood and asked Leonard Wood to improve the environment of the temporary camp, improve the food standard, improve the sanitation, and provide better services for the southern Africans in the temporary camp. protection.

"We have tried to provide the best camp, and did not abuse those yellow monkeys -" Leonard Wood denied.

"Wait, Your Excellency Governor, you just used an inappropriate term—" Luke Silva pointed out immediately, if you use a "yellow man", it's fine, what is a "yellow monkey"?

It is ironic that such discriminatory words come from the mouth of a dignified governor.

It's also normal, the word "yellow peril" was uttered by an emperor, and we shouldn't have too high expectations for the quality of these people.

During Leonard Wood's stay in the Philippines, he was criticized for his high-handed rule. This guy is an outright racist. He is not targeting Filipinos, but all Asians.

"Don't you Brits use the word 'nigg' very often?" Leonard Wood said with a smile.

"In our southern Africa, Africans are used more." Luke Silva cut ties with the UK at this time. In fact, in the UK, not many people use the word nig.

Compared with the Americans, the British still have to show some face. If the Americans are really villains, then the British are hypocrites.

"Hahahaha, very good, this is very British." Leonard Wood laughed, the United States is indeed the son of the United Kingdom, but the blue is better than the blue.

"Your Excellency, we are talking about the temporary camp." Luke Silva no longer entangled in these details.

"There's nothing to say. Since those yellow people have arrived in the Philippines, they must abide by the laws of the Philippines." Leonard Wood finally changed his words. He was not crazy and knew enough was enough.

"They were brought to Quezon by you, not because they came to the Philippines voluntarily," Luke Silva emphasized.

"So what, after the investigation is clear, if the human resources company does not mistreat Filipino workers, they can leave naturally." Leonard Wood repeated the same old tune.

After the immigrant ship was seized, many Filipino workers on board were sent to the hospital. The Americans did not allow southern African doctors to contact those "Filipino patients", so the specific situation in southern Africa was not clear, and the Americans did what they said.

While Luke Silva was running around for the detained immigrants, on November 11, another accident happened.

Several East Indian fishermen clashed with several Filipino fishermen while fishing. This time, the East Indian fishermen had the upper hand in terms of number and the tonnage of the fishing boats, so the Filipino fishermen were unlucky. Not only were the fishing boats hit and sunk, Moreover, the boss of the ship and two crew members died accidentally in order to save the ship.

This incident is actually not an accident. East India and the Philippines are very close, and the fishermen of the two countries have conflicts when fishing, but it has never caused such serious consequences before.

After the incident, Leonard Wood summoned the East India ambassador to the Philippines and asked the East India to thoroughly investigate the incident, severely punish those responsible, and compensate the Filipino fishermen for their losses.

"This is how it happened. Filipino fishermen entered the waters of the East India illegally to fish. Our fishermen tried to drive the Filipino fishermen out of the relevant waters, but they were shot by the Filipino fishermen. Our fishermen fought back bravely and sank the fishing boat driven by the Filipino fishermen. , The cause of this incident lies entirely with the Philippines, and we are the victims.” Huang Tingcan, the ambassador of the East India to the Philippines, came to Luke Silva after leaving the Governor’s Palace, hoping that southern Africa could provide the necessary help to East India.

Luke Silva is also the Ambassador of Southern Africa to the East Indies.

This is also impossible. Southern Africa lacks professional diplomats, so only one diplomat can serve as the ambassador of several countries at the same time. Luke Silva is the ambassador to the Philippines and the East India, and is also the ambassador of Southern Africa to the French East India. .

"If it's just to sink the boat, it's easy to deal with, but now that someone is dead, it will be very troublesome to deal with." Luke Silva has a big head, and the wave of unrest has risen again. To come back, this kind of thing happened again, it's a troubled time.

"We can give some humanitarian compensation to the Filipino fishermen who died, but it is definitely not compensation." Huang Tingcan also wanted to calm down, but things were not as simple as he imagined.

"What did Governor Wood say?" Luke Silva wanted to confirm Leonard Wood's attitude.

"Governor Wood was very angry. He said clearly that if we don't apologize and pay compensation, then the U.S. troops will punish East India accordingly in their own way." Huang Tingcan frowned. Not only is there an army, but also a fleet.

Relatively speaking, the East India's armed forces are relatively backward. There are only four infantry divisions in the entire East India, not a single warship, and only a few coastal patrol boats.

In southern Africa, there is a brigade of air force stationed in Yecheng (Jakarta), equipped with more than 40 fighter jets and torpedo planes, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared to East India, which is nearly 270 million square kilometers.

During World War II, the East Indies sent troops to occupy the German colonies in the Pacific Ocean.

After the World War, these colonies were appointed by the League of Nations to rule the East India, so the territory of the East India is only nearly 270 million square kilometers.

"Don't worry, once a conflict breaks out between East India and the Philippines, Southern Africa will definitely not ignore it." Luke Silva solemnly promised that this is also part of the "South-East-Inner Treaty of Friendship."

After the end of the World War, Southern Africa, East India and Nej Sultanate jointly signed the "South-East-Nei Friendship Treaty". The treaty stipulates that if any one of the three countries breaks out of war, the other two countries must provide due assistance. should be added directly.

Necessity here means that the territory of the country has been invaded by the enemy, and the enemy has already invaded the homeland.

"If a war breaks out between us and the United States, will the British Empire join?" Huang Tingcan still had illusions about the British Empire.

"It depends on the choice of the Americans." Luke Silva smiled slyly.

Even Huang Tingcan has illusions about the British Empire, and Americans must be worried that with the participation of southern Africa, the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations will be dragged into the war.

In that case, it would be tantamount to the outbreak of World War II ahead of schedule.

This result is probably something that Americans do not want to see.

Therefore, Luke Silva estimated that if the East India did not meet Leonard Wood's requirements, then Leonard Wood estimated that he would indeed retaliate, but he would control the retaliation to a certain extent and would not lead to the expansion of the scale of the war change.

To put it bluntly, it will not invade the East Indies. Although Southern Africa does not have a fleet in the East Indies, Britain does have a fleet in the Far East.

Of course, this matter is not decided by Luke Silva. That night, Luke Silva sent a telegram to Pretoria, and the federal government has the final say on how far southern Africa will go.

When Philip got the telegram, Rock also received the telegram at the same time, and then Rock received a call from Philip.

"Why did this happen?" Philip never expected that the relationship between Southern Africa and the United States had deteriorated to such an extent.

"Normally, the British Empire has already surrendered its world hegemony. The United States may become the next British Empire, and so may our southern Africa." Rock was prepared. After losing the threat of Germany, the conflict between southern Africa and the United States will emerge sooner or later. water surface.

Just like the relationship between Britain and France.

"So what should we do now?" Philip was in a state of confusion, not only because of the hostility between southern Africa and the United States, but also because of Rock's alarmist words.

In fact, even if the United Kingdom gives up its global hegemony, it will take a long process for Southern Africa or the United States to replace it.

Objectively speaking, in another time and space, if there were no two world wars, it is hard to say whether the Cold War would have formed.

In other words, the Cold War will still form, but it is hard to say who the opposing sides are.

The same is true for this time and space. If there had been no World War II, it would have taken at least 50 or [-] years to replace Britain, whether it was in southern Africa or the United States.

"I'll send a telegram to Herbert later—" Rock sighed. If possible, Rock really didn't want to send this telegram.

It must be said that after Hoover was elected president, he and Roque still had a tacit understanding. Although the conflicts between southern Africa and the United States continued, they did not rise to the level of war, and both sides were relatively restrained.

Now that Roque took the initiative to send a telegram to Hoover, it is of far-reaching significance, but Roque didn't make too much trouble. After all, Hoover is the president, and he still has to give face.

"Send it now, send it now—" Philip was burning with anxiety, wondering about Hoover's attitude.

"Are you sure?" Rock was surprised.

Southern Africa and the United States are separated by thousands of miles. Although the speed of the telegram is fast, it takes at least two hours to go back and forth. Philip probably won't be able to wait for Hoover's reply.

"Of course I'm sure, I'm going to stay up late at work today!" Philip said with awe-inspiring righteousness, as if he had devoted himself to his work.

Rock was speechless, and he had never seen Philip work so hard.

Luckily for Rock, the telegram has not been prepared yet, but the secretariat sent Hoover's telegram first.

Hoover invited Philip to visit the United States in due course.

"Will you go?" Philip now has no backbone, and he has to ask for Rock's opinion on such matters.

"Go, of course. Some things are better to be discussed in person." Of course, Rock suggested to go. There is a lack of effective communication methods between southern Africa and the United States, so a visit is a good choice.
