Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1622 This is Southern Africa

According to the tradition that only battleships of the same level can sink battleships, southern Africa cannot sink "Nagato" and "Mutsu".

What's more, Japan's combined fleet not only has "Nagato" and "Mutsu", but also 8 other battleships such as "Hyuga", "Yamashiro", "Kirishima", and "Kingang". The tonnage of battleships alone has reached 301. 320 tons, the paper data far exceeds the southern African navy with only four battleships and four aircraft carriers.

It's just paper data. All battleships of the Japanese Navy, including "Nagato" and "Mutsu", have not yet been modernized.

This also means that the anti-aircraft firepower of the battleships of the Japanese Navy is still in the factory state. If there is a real fight, these battleships, which cost tens of thousands of tons, will have no power to fight back against the carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes of the Southern African Navy.

The reason why Abramovich ignored the three-pointer was the fierce game between the Star Award and the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Prize review team is considering awarding the 1925 Nobel Prize in Medicine to Suzuki Umetaro, and the Starry Sky Awards hosted by Nyasaland University are also planning to award the 1925 Medicine Prize to Christian Eckermann.

This is not just a question of whose contribution is greater, nor is it a question of which award has greater influence. Behind the award is a game between southern Africa and the old continent.

The establishment of the Nyasaland Star Award is of great help to Nyasaland University and even Southern Africa in attracting talents. Leaning towards southern Africans, the current Star Award has become a golden signboard for Nyasaland University to recruit talents.

Of course, for Umetaro Suzuki, this was a natural disaster, so when the Japanese Ambassador to Southern Africa Koki Hirota received the note from Yang Smoltz, he was inexplicable. He did not think Umetaro Suzuki had stolen Christian Eckermann’s research results, but the note from the Southern African Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot be ignored.

Southern Africa, as a member of the Commonwealth, has perfectly inherited the rogue and domineering of the British Empire. The notes from other countries may be just a show to appease the national mood. The notes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa usually have a backhand.

Hirota Koki even suspected that when he received the note from the Southern African Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a Japanese merchant ship might have been detained by the Southern African Navy in a certain corner of the Indian Ocean.

This is not without precedent. Southern Africa is also full of bad records in this regard. When Rock was fighting the rebellion in Somalia, in order to raise military expenses, the nascent Southern African Navy once detained Japanese merchant ships in the Red Sea for no reason. .

Hirota Koki is an outstanding diplomat. He once worked in the Japanese embassy in the United Kingdom and the United States. He has successively served as the deputy director of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the director of the European and American Bureau, and the Japanese ambassador to the Netherlands. Considering the increasingly frequent trade between Japan and southern Africa, The resources of southern Africa are becoming more and more important to Japan. After the Imperial Conference this year, Hirota Koki served as Japan's ambassador to southern Africa.

"Does Suzuki-kun's research have anything to do with Christian Eckerman?" Hirota Koki also first asked if there was, and then asked why.

"There is a certain relationship, but it is definitely not plagiarism. Suzuki-kun continued his research on the basis of Christian Eckerman's research, and then extracted vitamin B1. This is normal in the scientific community." Deputy Arita Hachiro looked cautious, The crux of the matter is not the facts, but how the federal government of Southern Africa sees it.

What else can I see?
Simply put, I don't want you to think, I want me to think.

Arita Hachiro once studied at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. After graduation, he served as the first secretary of the embassy in Washington. Last year, he came to southern Africa and served as the counselor of the Japanese embassy in Port Edward. He participated in the Washington meeting as a plenipotentiary member.

It was the just-concluded Washington Conference that signed the Non-War Pact.

"Then this is a completely unreasonable request. Help me contact Minister Yang Smozi. I want to talk to him face to face—" Hirota Hongyi tried to solve the problem through diplomatic channels. For Hirota Hongyi, Japan's interests also Not to be trampled on.

"I'm afraid it's difficult. The Southern African Federal Government has always been inexplicably hostile to our Great Japanese Empire, especially after the Marquis of Nyasaland came to power. They will not give up easily." Hachiro Arita has worked in Europe and America for a long time and knows the Anglo-Saxons well.

"Personal hatred should not override national interests." Hirota Koki didn't know enough about the Anglo-Saxons.

For Orientals, it is almost common sense that personal hatred should not override national interests.

This is not the case for the British, who believe that "when a person's ability to exercise his right to appeal fairly and effectively conflicts with national security, individual rights can override the needs of national security."

"Mr. Ambassador, the Southern African Navy has seized one of our merchant ships in the Strait of Malacca." The military attache of the embassy Takano 56 rushed to report.

Takano 56 is Yamamoto 56. The name Yamamoto 56 is not because he is the six children of the family, but because when Yamamoto 56 was born, Yamamoto 56's father was 56 years old, so he got this name.

Yamamoto 56 participated in the Russo-Japanese War, during which the index and middle fingers of his left hand were blown off, leaving him permanently disabled, so Yamamoto 56 got the nickname "eighty cents".

This nickname is said to be because at that time Japanese geisha were charged according to their fingers for trimming their nails, each one was one cent, which was exactly one yuan for normal people. Yamamoto called it "eight cents" because there were two less.

This nickname is said to have appeared among geisha, which shows Yamamoto 56's preference for that kind of place.

In another time and space, Yamamoto 56 served as the naval attache of the Japanese embassy in the United States in 1925 because of the strength of the US Navy.

This space-time Yamamoto 56 is more interested in the air force in southern Africa, so he serves as the military attache of the Japanese embassy in southern Africa.

"I see, help me contact Minister Smozi first—" Hirota Koichi was not surprised. Japanese merchant ships to and from Europe had to pass through the Strait of Malacca. After the British government sold the Changi Naval Base to the Southern African Navy, the southern African It is not easy for Africa to seize Japanese merchant ships.

The next day, Hirota Koki came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa is located on the bustling Apis River, not far from the Burj Al Arab Hotel under the name of Stoudemire, surrounded by high-rise buildings and busy streets. Every time Hirota comes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he will strongly feel the strength of Southern Africa.

This time, Hongyi Hirota was not in the mood to envy southern Africa. He made an appointment with Yang Smozi at ten o'clock in the morning, and Hongyi Hirota arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at 09:30. Yang Smozi was very busy with work. .

At ten o'clock sharp, Hirota Koki walked into Yang Smother's office on time. At this time, Yang Smother had just sent away Jacob Gould Schulman, the US ambassador to southern Africa.

Jacob Gould Schulman also just came to southern Africa not long ago. After the signing of the "African War Convention", the relationship between southern Africa and the United States has entered a new stage. Schulman is ambitious and hopes to promote the development of southern Africa. Further development of relations with the United States.

"Minister Shi Mozi, good morning—" Hirota Koyi bowed ninety degrees, impeccable in etiquette.

"Mr. Hirota, please sit down—" Yang Shi Mozi waited for Hongyi Hirota to stand up straight before shaking hands with Hongyi Hirota.

"The fact I learned is that Mr. Suzuki did not steal Mr. Aikman's research results. Mr. Aikman did discover the relationship between rice bran and beriberi, but Mr. Aikman did not carry out further research, so Suzuki-kun's research results have nothing to do with Mr. Aikman." Hirota Koki was rude, he only had half an hour.

"You just said that Suzuki-kun conducted research on the basis of Mr. Aikman's research results, so why is this irrelevant?" Yang Smozi is not messing around. Vitamin B1 was extracted from the Internet, but he didn't even have a word of thanks. It's not a son of man to say so clearly.

"Mr. Aikman gave up voluntarily—" Hirota Hiroki emphasized again that Ekman was studying beriberi in East India in 1886, and Suzuki Umetaro extracted vitamin B1 in 1910. The cow is irrelevant.

"No, no, Mr. Aikman never gave up. He has been conducting research in this area." Yang Smozi disagreed with Hirota Koki's words.

"Then why didn't Mr. Ekman extract vitamin B1?" Hirota Koichi endured and endured. Although the reason was on Suzuki Umetaro's side, the situation was stronger than others.

Now Southern Africa’s attitude towards Japan has eased. As long as the Japanese can afford the price, the trade ban on Japan in Southern Africa will also begin to be loosened. Although the restrictions on rare metals have not yet been lifted, at least in terms of food and daily necessities, The trade volume between Japan and Southern Africa is increasing year by year.

Don't look at Japan now thinking that it has entered the ranks of great powers. Psychologically, Japan still kneels and licks Europe, especially Britain.

Southern Africa is part of the Commonwealth of Nations, so southern African products are also popular in Japan, especially wool and cashmere products from southern Africa. kind.

Of course, wool and cashmere products from southern Africa have little to do with ordinary Japanese. Ordinary Japanese cannot afford them, and only dignitaries can afford them.

"This is Mr. Aikman's own problem, but our southern African federal government must unconditionally safeguard the interests of southern Africans." Yang Smozi is full of domineering, and it cannot be said that Yang Smozi is cheating, if this If it is cheating, then all countries in the world count as one, and no one is innocent.
