Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1552
After the bombardment, Hahbahar was in a mess. The heavy cruiser "Darius" that was originally docked at the berth had sunk, and only a section of the chimney was still exposed on the water, and the scaffolding next to it was still burning, billowing Thick smoke, several huge bomb craters on the pier looked shocking, a completely deformed bicycle was hanging on the branch of a nearby tree, and several affected houses were burning. William Henry McMahon, British Commissioner to Persia Hong remained silent. He was too familiar with this scene, but it was the Royal Navy that did the violence before, but now it was the Indian Ocean Fleet who did the violence.

"Mr. McMahon, you can see now that this is the southern African navy that claims to be civilized and righteous. They not only sank our heavy cruiser 'Darius', but also sank several of our fishing boats. The missing fishermen have not been found so far. This is a serious violation of our Persian Empire. This kind of war must be severely punished. We will appeal to the League of Nations and sue the behavior of the southern African navy. We will also retaliate and let Port Elizabeth And Georgetown suffered thousands of times of losses—” Ahmed Husseini, the mayor of Hahbahar, was filled with grief and indignation. At this time, he found helplessly that in the face of such a red-blooded imperialist behavior by the Indian Ocean Fleet, Persia's only countermeasure turned out to be to complain to the League of Nations.

This is the helplessness of weak and small countries.

Facing the strong ships and guns in southern Africa, it is impossible to fight, and the economy is controlled by the United Kingdom and Russia. The Persian Empire lacks countermeasures against southern Africa. Never mind that the United Kingdom is instigating Persia to find southern Africa to beg for Hu How well Zistan promised, when the "East India" bombarded Harbahar, Britain could not provide any protection for Persia.

As for complaining to the League of Nations, most of them have no results. Southern Africa is one of the founding countries of the League of Nations, and its influence on the League of Nations is far greater than that of Persia. If Persia complains to the League of Nations, the League of Nations may make a judgment against Persia.

McMahon looked sour, but said nothing.

After the end of the World Wars, McMahon retired from the Army and left Egypt for Persia, where he served as the Persian Commissioner.

After all, McMahon still underestimated the speed at which the ambitions of the southern Africans expanded, and his mood is a bit complicated now.

Prior to this, McMahon had anticipated southern Africa's retaliation against Persia.

But what McMahon didn't expect was that Southern Africa slapped the Persian in such a violent way.

This slap was not only on the face of the Persian, but also on the face of McMahon, the commissioner of the British Empire to Persia.

"South Africa has illegally embezzled our Khuzestan, expelled the Persians living in Khuzestan, turned Khuzestan into someone's private property, and now blatantly attacked Hahbahar, this is an act of war , we must fight back and let the southern Africans pay with their blood—” Ahmed Husseini was filled with righteous indignation, regardless of whether it can be done, let’s blow the bull out first.

What is needed at this time is actually an attitude. How to retaliate depends on the determination of Lisa Khan and the Persian Congress. However, based on McMahon's understanding of the Persians, this matter will probably not be resolved in the end.

As for declaring war.

That would certainly not be a declaration of war.

Persia is a country protected by Britain. If Persia declares war on southern Africa, Britain will be forced to declare war on southern Africa.

But southern Africa is also a Commonwealth country. If southern Africa declares war on Persia, then Britain will also declare war on Persia——

Hey, this looks good, Britain declared war on Britain?
Nima didn't even dare to play tongue twisters like this.

"I will report this matter to His Majesty and Your Excellency the Prime Minister. The disqualification of the Southern African Navy will definitely be punished. The British Empire will assume the responsibility of protecting Persia and will not let Persia's interests be lost." McMahon had to say , but this remark made Ahmed Husseini a little desperate.

Listen, the southern African navy has already bombarded Hahbahar. In McMahon's mouth, it was just a "disqualification"!
What is a disqualification?

It is a disqualification to defecate freely on the main road after being drunk.

Driving battleships to people's doorsteps, blocking people's ports and bombarding them can also be called a disqualification?

The British Empire's definition of "disqualification" is so broad.

Moreover, Ahmed Husseini noticed sensitively that when McMahon mentioned the southern African navy just now, he used "report".

This also means that the southern African navy will likely not be punished in the way Ahmed Husseini wants.

Contrary to what Ahmed Husseini thought, British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin got the relevant information as soon as the battleship "East India" bombarded Hahbahar.

"How much oil is there underground in Khuzestan?" Stanley Baldwin was most concerned about Khuzestan.

As for the Persians—

Stanley Baldwin didn't care about Persian life or death.

"It's hard to say, Adan Company strictly blocks any information about Khuzestan. The existing information is all speculated based on the situation in the surrounding areas of Khuzestan. The specific situation of Khuzestan may only be known by Adan Company. .” Austin, the new British Foreign Secretary, is also not clear about Khuzestan’s specific situation.

The British Foreign Office and the Colonial Affairs Department have many overlaps in their work content. Austin has previously served as the Minister of Colonial Affairs and the Minister of Indian Affairs, and has a relatively good understanding of the situation in the Persian Gulf.

"This is what the southern Africans want. It's really disgusting. The southern Africans don't develop the oil in Khuzestan, and they don't allow others to develop it. These capitalists eat people and don't spit out their bones!" John Jericho told the South Africa hates it deeply. The heavy cruiser "Darius" used to belong to the Royal Navy. John Jericho felt that the Southern African navy deeply maliciously.

Of course, John Jericho would definitely not say this reason.

"It is better for Khuzestan to be in the hands of the Adan Company than in the hands of the Americans." Neville, who returned to the Treasury, did not like John Jericho's attitude towards southern Africa.

It should be said that Southern Africa has also made great contributions to the Conservative Party in regaining power.

The immediate factor triggering the downfall of the Labor Party was the takeover of the Changi Naval Base in Southern Africa.

John Jericho: Yeah, yeah, that's why I hate southern Africa—

Neville: No, you don't hate, we have southern Africa to thank.

"Why must the control be in the hands of the Americans? Wouldn't it be better to control it in our hands?" John Jericho is essentially the same type of person as Rock, just like playing mahjong. Family.

"Even if the control is in our hands, so what? Without the cooperation of Adan Company and Umbrella Company, no one can successfully develop the oil in Khuzestan." Neville has confidence in Adan Company.

This confidence is not groundless. Unlike John Jericho, Neville is one of the shareholders of Adan Company.

"Okay gentlemen, we're now discussing the southern African naval bombardment of Hachbacher—" Stanley Baldwin tried to steer the conversation back on the right track.

"Hahbahar—" Austin was embarrassed, remembering the name so casually was extremely disrespectful to the Persians.

What's the point of respecting the Persians in this regard?
Of course there is, and even the slightest respect is a sign of the generosity and benevolence of the British Empire.

As for the disregard of major interests, that is the essence of the British Empire.

"The battleship 'East India' that bombarded Harbahar was the Normandy-class battleship of France before?" Stanley Baldwin expressed a certain degree of concern about the growth of southern Africa's strength, which was also a warning to the Royal Navy. And reminded: "I remember the previous report of the Ministry of War that it was believed that the Southern African Navy did not have enough capabilities to properly use those Normandy-class battleships. Now? Does the Ministry of War still think so?"

This was such a slap in the face that John Jericho felt his face burn.

In terms of the military, the army for ten years, the navy for one hundred years, the air force for 50 years, etc., etc., the Ministry of War has a set of theories in order to strive for more funding.

It has not been 20 years since the establishment of the Southern African Federal Government. According to the Ministry of War, the Southern African Navy now has at most 20% of its combat effectiveness.

"It depends on who is the target of reference. The target is the Persian Navy. The Southern African Navy has indeed performed well, but compared with the Royal Navy, the Southern African Navy still has a long way to go." John Jericho told the Southern African Navy The Navy dismissed it. The Southern African Navy now only has four battleships. The Royal Navy has 22 ships, including two powerful BIG 7.
"Heh, Jackson Marshall, the commander of the East India Fleet of the Southern African Navy, served in the Mediterranean Fleet before, but was later kicked out by the Mediterranean Fleet. Jackson Marshall was forced to leave southern Africa - as a result, in a joint exercise not long ago, he and Jackson Marshall Compared with the East India Fleet led by Marshall, the performance of the Mediterranean Fleet is like flying." Neville mercilessly revealed that the Southern African Navy, which John Jericho said still had a long way to go, had just concluded In the exercise, the performance was better than that of the Royal Navy.

"Your Excellency, the Minister of Finance, pay attention to your words. You have never served in the Royal Navy. You are not qualified to make any comments on the Royal Navy!" John Jericho was angry. Only the Royal Navy has the matter of the Royal Navy. Qualification evaluation.

"Oh!" Neville sneered back.

Let's hope John Jellicoe's mouth will still be this hard when the Royal Navy and the Southern African Navy meet on the battlefield one day.
