Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1506 Second Lieutenant Andrew

Unlike the turbulent British political situation, the Royal Navy is still the most powerful fleet in the world.

After the "Washington Naval Treaty" was signed, the Royal Navy received two of the most advanced super battleships. After adding two aircraft carriers, the number of aircraft carriers also reached four, ranking first in the world.

However, this honor of "leading the world" is due to the addition of the Southern African Navy. The Southern African Navy is now also powerful. Four battleships have been in service within a year, two aircraft carriers have been delivered, and one has been given to the South African Navy. The Atlantic Fleet led by Patton gave one to the Indian Ocean Fleet led by Jackson Marshall.

That's right, just after the delivery of the two aircraft carriers, the Edward Fleet was officially renamed the Indian Ocean Fleet, and its base is still in Port Edward.

The current Indian Ocean Fleet has an aircraft carrier, a battleship, three heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, 14 destroyers, and more than 20 auxiliary ships. The Eastern Fleet is even stronger.

The home port of the British Eastern Fleet is in Lion City, with only a small number of cruisers and destroyers, and no battleships or aircraft carriers.

Since the end of the World War, the Royal Navy has conducted joint maritime exercises with the Southern African Navy every year. The exercises include anti-submarine, escort, landing, joint operations and so on.

As the strength of the Southern African Navy gradually increases, the Royal Navy is paying more and more attention to the Southern African Navy. In this year's exercise, the Royal Navy sent the Mediterranean Fleet, which is second only to the local fleet, and Southern Africa sent the Indian Ocean Fleet. , The location of the exercise is in the Mediterranean Sea between Cyprus and Alexandria.

In terms of the number of super battleships, although the United States has surpassed the United Kingdom, it will take time to surpass the Royal Navy in terms of combat effectiveness. Like the Royal Navy, the Southern African Navy also attaches great importance to the opportunity of joint exercises with the Royal Navy. Jackson Marshall personally led the The fleet participating in the exercise came to Cyprus.

The fleet sent by the Indian Ocean Fleet to participate in the exercise includes the flagship "East India" battleship, the "Cape" aircraft carrier, as well as one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, and four destroyers.

The warships of the Mediterranean Fleet participating in the exercise are 12 warships including the flagship "Queen Elizabeth" battleship.

Before the exercise started, the fleets participating in the exercise assembled in Cyprus and Alexandria respectively. Angie and Arthur extended a warm welcome to the arrival of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Unknowingly, Arthur has been in Cyprus for more than a year. Over the past year, Arthur's performance has been quite satisfactory, not very good, but compared to Arthur's age, it is already very good.

After all, Arthur will only be 20 years old when he is over.

"General Marshall, welcome to come—" Arthur prepared a grand welcome ceremony for the Indian Ocean Fleet, which was really full of gongs, drums and firecrackers—

Oh no, this welcome ceremony is too Chinese.

That's not right, there must be military bands, gun salutes, and flags waving. Although there are huge crowds, there are thousands of people attending the welcome ceremony.

This is the first time that the Southern African Navy has come to Cyprus Island. The significance is not limited to participating in exercises, but also to show muscles.

A fleet with battleships and aircraft carriers is not considered weak no matter which country it is placed in.

In fact, the southern African navy is now recognized as the sixth in the world, second only to the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, France, and Italy.

This ranking is nominal. In fact, with the strengthening of the strength of the southern African navy, some people in the Royal Navy believe that the strength of the southern African navy has surpassed the stagnant French and Italian navies.

"Good day, Lord Cyprus—" Jackson Marshall was courteous to Arthur, envy fleeting in his eyes.

Don't look at Jackson Marshall, who is almost 50 years old, but he doesn't even have a title. Arthur is only 20 years old, but he is already a baron. Who can ask for an argument.

"General, welcome to Cyprus—" Angie, who wears the rank of lieutenant general like Jackson Marshall, is equally enthusiastic. The headquarters of the League of Nations peacekeeping force is located in Cyprus, and Angie can be regarded as a half-landlord.

Jackson Marshall and An Qi warmly greeted each other. They were all colleagues. An Qi was still Rock's most important general. Maybe she would soar into the sky when she was transferred back to the mainland.

After the welcome ceremony on the pier, there will be a welcome dinner in the evening. This time, not only the generals of the Indian Ocean Fleet and the officers of the League of Nations peacekeeping force participated, but Rear Admiral Oliver Ram of the Mediterranean Fleet also came to the scene. In the next week, Oliver Rear Admiral Ram will stay in the Indian Ocean Fleet and be responsible for communication between the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere of the dinner was very good. The upcoming exercise and the chaos in the British domestic political circle were the focus of communication among the guests.

"I originally thought that this kind of thing happened only in France, but I didn't expect the same in Britain—" In the corner of the banquet hall, a peacekeeping officer from France was in a good mood. This is how Britain and France hurt each other and hug each other keep warm.

"Come on, how many prime ministers have you changed in France since the World War, five? Or six?" Immediately, a British military officer retorted, and the British House of Commons launched a motion of no confidence in the government. Good development of self-correction.

Could it be the same in France? The change of prime ministers is like a revolving door. I can’t wait to change the two prime ministers in a month. The new prime minister will be kicked out of the prime minister’s office before the chair is warmed up. This is one of the most dangerous professions in French politics.

"Can we stop talking about these boring questions and let's talk about the upcoming exercise?" A southern African military officer suggested, which immediately received enthusiastic responses from others.

What's the fuss about, it's not a glorious thing anyway, besides, political matters have nothing to do with soldiers, soldiers just need to do their own thing well.

"Our Normandy-class battleships are not bad. To be honest, the performance of the Normandy-class battleships is a bit behind, otherwise they would not be sold to you in southern Africa—" Speaking of the exercise, the French officer who was the first to challenge Come on right away.

"Come on, did you sell it to southern Africa because of its backward performance? You can't build it yourself, okay—" Before the southern African officer could speak, the Royal Navy officer jumped out immediately.

Although the differences between the Royal Navy and the Southern African Navy are relatively large, the Royal Navy and the Southern African Navy are consistent in the matter of daily breastfeeding.

"Stop, it's not the Normandy-class battleships that we bought in Southern Africa, but West Africa and Congo—" the Southern African military officer corrected it in time. This must be made clear. Southern Africa is a signatory to the "Washington Naval Treaty" , will certainly not take the initiative to destroy the "Washington Naval Treaty".

It's just that as soon as this was said, the southern African officers were immediately despised by the French officers and the Royal Navy officers.

That's right, the relationship between the three officers is as complicated as the relationship between the three countries. What is it called?
Seek common ground while reserving differences!

"In terms of the navy, your Royal Navy, the Southern African Navy, and the French Navy are all scum, so you should invite our Imperial Japanese Navy to participate in the exercise, so that there will be enough—" Such arrogant words must be Japanese Say it.

The number of Japanese troops in the peacekeeping force is second only to the southern African troops, and of course there are officers, but among all the troops, the casualty rate of the Japanese troops is the highest.

Of course, the Japanese military doesn't care about this casualty. It is the purpose of the Japanese military to play a greater role in international affairs.

"cut!"

"Shut up!"

"Your fleet can only be used to bully the Russians—"

Not surprisingly, the words of the Japanese military officers led to joint suppression by the British, French, and southern Africans.

Regarding the strength of the Japanese navy, regardless of the rapid development of the Japanese navy in recent years, in fact, for mainstream countries, the Japanese navy is really not on the table.

During the World Wars, the Japanese Navy was not tested in any way.

As for the earlier Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Combined Fleet was able to defeat the Russian Expeditionary Force. The Russian fleet was disgraced.

"Bastard, how can you do this?" The Japanese officer probably felt that his self-esteem had been greatly insulted, and the word starting with F blurted out.

"Hehe, can't you even say it?" The French are full of talk, but they are as timid as huskies when they encounter things.

"You're a bastard, you insulted us first—" The British were full of confidence. If it weren't for the help of the British Empire, there would be no Japan today.

"What's the matter, have you built two super battleships yet? If you have the ability to pull the battleship over with live ammunition, I will lose if you don't sink it within an hour--" Southern Africans are the most arrogant, and whoever speaks their minds meeting.

"Just wait--" the Japanese officer also said, really, there is no hot food in the cold meal meeting, and after a few drinks, it turned out like this.

After a while, An Qi, who was chatting with Jackson Marshall, received a complaint from a Japanese officer.

"Okay, I understand. I will remind Second Lieutenant Andrew to pay attention to his words. As an allied force, Captain Andrew should not do this. If similar incidents happen again, I will definitely punish Major Andrew the most severely. "An Qi's expression was serious, and such things must be dealt with seriously.

The Japanese officer was elated after receiving An Qi's promise, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that something was wrong.

Just after An Qi finished speaking, Jackson Marshall and Major General Oliver Ram looked at An Qi with strange eyes.
