Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1398 Don't Treat Southern Africa as Clay Figures

What Leonard Wood didn't expect was that even greater bad news was yet to come.

Just after Leonard Wood decided to blockade the waters around Palawan Island, the Federal Government of Southern Africa and the East India Government suddenly signed an arms purchase agreement. The East India Government will purchase from Southern Africa at a price of 15 rand each 12 submarines.

Speaking of submarines, after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, submarines have become another blockbuster product of Edward Shipyard.

During the World War, submarines from various countries sank a total of 192 battleships. The most brilliant one was the German U9 submarine. In 1914, the U9 submarine sank three 90-ton British ships in less than 3 minutes overseas. Armored cruiser, killing 12000 Royal Navy officers and men.

In the middle of the World War, Germany, which was at a naval disadvantage, was forced to use "unrestricted submarine warfare", using submarines to attack transport merchant ships on the ocean traffic line, and also achieved more significant results.

During the World War, Germany sank a total of more than 1300 million tons of coalition merchant ships.

Because of France's opposition, the "Washington Naval Treaty" did not impose any restrictions on submarines, so even in the "naval holiday" era, submarines still developed rapidly.

After the end of the World War, after absorbing the advantages of French and German submarines, Edward Shipyard designed a submarine with excellent performance, which was called the "ghost" submarine.

The "ghost" type submarine has a full load displacement of 1300 tons and uses two propulsion systems: a double-hull hull and a diesel engine plus an electric motor. When navigating on the surface, the "ghost" type submarine relies on the diesel engine propulsion system, and its speed can reach an unprecedented 20 knots; when navigating underwater At that time, the "ghost" submarine relies on the electric propulsion system, and the speed can reach 10 knots; when sailing at an economic speed of 9 knots on the water surface, the "ghost" type submarine can have an endurance of [-] nautical miles.

Just as powerful as the power system is the weapon system of the "Ghost" submarine. The "Ghost" submarine has abandoned the common artillery of submarines nowadays, and is only equipped with the "Great White Shark" torpedo with a caliber of 533 mm. This torpedo is Niassa Jointly developed by Lan Military Industry and the Royal Naval Research Institute, it is fast, powerful and reliable. The cruisers and destroyers equipped by the Southern African Navy are also equipped with "Great White Shark" torpedoes.

There is no doubt that East India’s purchase of submarines from Southern Africa is a huge threat to the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet. After Leonard Wood learned of this, he immediately summoned Luke Silva to oppose the purchase of submarines in Southern Africa and East India. military purchases.

"The purchase of submarines by East India is only to ensure the safety of East India, not for the Pacific Fleet. Even if the East India Navy is equipped with submarines, it will not be able to pose a real threat to the Pacific Fleet. Your Excellency Governor, you don't have to worry too much." Luke Schiller Wa understates that the role of submarines is not only for combat, but also for breaking through cross-border attacks, reconnaissance, and blockades.

"If Southern Africa insists on selling submarines to East India, it will definitely break the balance of power in the surrounding areas of East India, and the Pacific Fleet will also be forced to respond. You are actively violating the "Washington Naval Treaty." The relationship between the United States has caused irreparable harm." Leonard Wood was furious, the Pacific Fleet had just blocked Palawan Island, and the East India turned around and bought submarines from Southern Africa. What is it?
"The "Washington Naval Treaty" does not impose restrictions on submarines. Even if there is, East India is not a signatory to the "Washington Naval Treaty", and it is not restricted by the "Washington Naval Treaty". What's more, Southern Africa sells submarines to East India , is the internal affairs of Southern Africa, what right do you have to interfere?" Luke Silva was blunt, Leonard Wood had gone too far on the wrong path and could not turn back.

Taking a step back, it is impossible for diplomats in southern Africa to be submissive in front of U.S. officials.

Before Luke Silva compromised, it was for the rights of southern Africans in makeshift camps.

Now that Leonard Wood is not going to let him go, and Luke Silva is not polite, if you have the ability, you will hold on to him for the rest of your life.

Philip is about to arrive in the United States, let's see if Leonard Wood can be arrogant for a few days as the governor of the Philippines.

"Your behavior is harming the relationship between our southern Africa and the United States!" Leonard Wood is still talking about this excuse.

"You detained our immigration ship and our southern Africans for no reason. Isn't this a harm to the relationship between the United States and southern Africa?" Luke Silva was also furious, and Nima's double standard is not such a game , As long as the state officials set fire, the people are not allowed to light lamps?
When the British Empire played double standards, the Americans were still learning to farm from the Indians.

That is, these shameless Americans learned how to farm from the Indians, and started buying Indian scalps after changing hands. They even created a Thanksgiving Day to thank the Indians for their help to the Americans. Nima, is that how you thank them?
Thank you eight generations of ancestors!
"The reason we seized the immigrant boat was because you abused the Filipino workers first." Leonard Wood repeated the old story.

"Whether there has been abuse, we are very clear, Your Excellency, if you insist on your own way, I can guarantee that the East India will have more advanced weapons, the Filipinos—hum——" Luke Silva finally did not blurted out, but the threat was palpable.

"How about the Filipinos?" Leonard Wood laughed angrily. After the World War, the United States has regarded the Pacific Ocean as its core interest and does not allow anyone to get involved.

"Your Excellency Governor, don't you think that the rebellion in Palawan Island is out of nothing?" Luke Silva is here.

"Of course not, the rebellion in Palawan Island is due to the support of some despicable people—" Leonard Wood almost didn't curse directly.

"Your Excellency Governor, you have to find the reason from the Philippine government itself. It is not wise to blindly shirk responsibility. The patience of Congress is also limited." Luke Silva resigned himself, and Leonard Wood could not care about the life and death of Filipinos , can not but care about the attitude of Congress.

Appropriately showing toughness is still beneficial.

But you can't just be tough.

Considering that Leonard Wood could not be given too much incentive, Luke Silva agreed to postpone the delivery of the East India submarine.

That is, it will be postponed from January next year to May next year.

In return, Leonard Wood agreed to release all women and minors in the makeshift camp.

The news spread to the temporary camp, and the temporary camp was full of joy.

"A Southern African cruise ship will pass by here tomorrow morning. At that time, they will take the cruise ship to Southern Africa. I have said long ago that the Southern African Federal Government will not give up on us. Our embassy and consulate officials have been working hard. "Mike Bedic finally let go of a big stone in his heart. He couldn't sleep at night during this time, he didn't have time to cut his hair, and he didn't have time to shave his beard. He looked like a wild man in a mess.

"We should teach these lawless bastards and those damned natives a lesson. They all deserve to go to hell." Davis, the captain of the immigrant ship "Victory" who had just been transferred to the temporary camp, shared the same hatred. The crew of the "Victory" was detained in Quezon by the Philippine colonial government in the name of investigation, and they have just been released.

"Do you think the lord will let them go? The lord is not someone who can swallow his anger—" Mike Beditch was unpredictable, and even though he was imprisoned in a temporary camp, Mike Beditch was still very well informed.

Although the southern African staff cannot enter the temporary camp, the daily supply of supplies has not been interrupted, and Mike Bedic has the opportunity to contact the outside world.

"Is there any good news?" Davis cheered up. It doesn't matter what the news is, as long as he can see that the Americans are unlucky.

"A rebellion broke out in Palawan Island. General MacArthur led the army to suppress the rebellion. I heard that the loss of troops will be crushed. Thousands of people were killed—" Mike Bedic was beaming. The rebel army in Palawan Island is really awesome. .

"Hahahaha—this is really good news!" Davis laughed, and the depression that had been incarcerated for many days was swept away.

"Shut up! Quiet me!" Perhaps Davis' laughter was a bit harsh, and there was a sudden scolding sound from afar.

"What does it matter to you if I laugh a few times?" Davis has a fiery personality. As a southern African, he has long been accustomed to rebellion and knows what's going on.

"Bastard—I'm going to hang you up and beat you—" Bill Robinson was in a bad mood. He was about to be transferred from the temporary camp to Palawan Island for reinforcements.

The current Palawan Island is hell for the Philippine servants.

"Come, come—if you don't hit, you are a grandson—" Davis didn't flinch, and put down the gun with the ability to see who hung up and hit whom.

"Come on, captain, don't say a few words, what's the point of talking to a dying man—" Mike Beditch said this in Chinese, and Bill Robinson probably couldn't understand it.

"Hahahaha, that's right, you don't need to talk nonsense with a dying person." Davis burst into laughter, thanking southern Africa for the promotion of Chinese. He and Mike Beditch talked in Chinese, and they actually had a kind of IQ that crushed Bill. Robinson's pleasure.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Bill Robinson really didn't understand Chinese.

"We're wishing you good luck, you do need some blessings—" Mike Bedich's eyes were filled with pity and sarcasm.

Bill Robinson has been on the verge of collapse after receiving the transfer order. The First Division has killed and injured more than 4000 people, but MacArthur still insists on not retreating and seeking more reinforcements. Going to Palawan Island for reinforcements at this time is nothing like dying different.

Thinking of this, Bill Robinson suddenly froze on the spot, not even noticing when Mike Bedic and Davis left.
