Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1627 Put it right
As mentioned earlier, the Empire of Japan has been relying on loans to survive in recent years. In just two years, the total amount of external borrowings reached 9.1 million US dollars.

What is the concept of 9.1 billion?
The cost of each of the three BIG 7s in the United States is 2700 million US dollars.

The cost of each of the four aircraft carriers in southern Africa is only 305 million rand.

The largest British battlecruiser Hood cost only 602 million pounds.

Calculated by the currency value in 1925, Japan borrowed US$9.1 million, which was enough for Japan to build 42 "Nagato"-class battleships.

Of course, Japan's shipbuilding costs are relatively high, let alone compared with southern Africa, compared with the United States and the United Kingdom, the cost is much higher, and it often exceeds the budget.

For example, "Nagato", Japan's initial budget was only 1500 million yen. As a result, the budget was repeatedly added during the construction process. When it was finally completed, the calculated cost had reached 4300 million yen.

In 1925, the exchange rate between the yen and the US dollar was about 2:1, and this exchange rate has been maintained for many years.

Looking at it this way, it is understandable that Japan does not pay the membership dues of the League of Nations. After all, the people in the country are already in dire straits, and the membership dues of the League of Nations is really unaffordable.

Of course, this is by no means good news for Kijuro Koihara.

Kijuro Moshihara never imagined that Andy had already fired at the Japanese government before he launched an attack on southern Africa, and he just hit the Japanese government's sore feet.

"Yes, if this year's dues are included, the Japanese government has already defaulted on £650 million, the most in arrears among all League of Nations allies." Secretary-General Sir Eric Drummond frowned. One of the council members not only failed to take the lead, but actually backfired. This cannot be justified.

"Heh, is it just the one with the most arrears? Is it the only one that is in arrears—" Andy is also unreasonable. Countries that are in arrears of dues are not eligible to apply for arbitration in the League of Nations. Japan should be abolished as a permanent member of the Council immediately!immediately!
"Ha, the permanent member of the council that is in arrears of membership dues is still as big as the Japanese Empire. How big is it? Is the tone louder?" Sal laughed loudly, which is called murder.

"The Empire of Japan did not deliberately default on the dues. We are raising funds and will make up all the dues soon." Kijuro Moshihara resisted weakly. The Japanese government did not want to default, but really couldn't pay.

For many years, Japan has been trying to break away from Asia and join Europe, and has long regarded itself as an "honorary white man" psychologically.

In the Washington Naval Conference, although Japan seemed to have won a big victory, but looking back now, Japan was clearly tricked by the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Italy.

A capital ship of 30 tons is not something that can be built casually. France and Italy are powerless at only 17.5.

It is clear that they want Japan to be dragged down alive.

If your strength is not enough, don't try to seek an international status that doesn't match your own strength, otherwise you will be poached every minute.

"In any case, we cannot lose the mouth of the Black Sea—" Sir Eric Drummond knows the importance of the Black Sea. Russia is now a polar bear locked in a cage. If control of the mouth of the Black Sea is lost, the polar bears will die will escape from the cage.

Thinking about the Labor Party in the UK, Sir Eric Drummond shuddered subconsciously.

"Andy, Southern Africa should take on a bigger role." Jules Josselin hoped that Southern Africa would put aside the past.

"Southern Africa has undertaken more than its own obligations. 70.00% of the League of Nations peacekeeping forces are Southern African soldiers. We have paid more than 44% of the dues. Isn't that enough?" Andy looked sad, the League of Nations is now There are [-] countries, and Southern Africa is not even a permanent member. It is impossible to ask Southern Africa to do more.

"It seems that there is a southern African army stationed in the Bosporus Strait—" Oakland emphasized that if the League of Nations cannot hold Constantinople, it can be handed over to southern Africa for management.

Constantinople is located on the Bosporus Strait, separated from the Dardanelles by the Sea of ​​Marmara.

During the World War, it was the southern African army that captured Constantinople. After that, a force was stationed in the Bosporus Strait, and it has not withdrawn yet.

For this matter, we can't blame southern Africa.

During the Battle of the Dardanelles, the Southern African Expeditionary Force captured Constantinople. At that time, the Ottomans fled Constantinople, and Constantinople almost became an empty city.

As a result, during the World War, tens of thousands of southern Africans and family members of the Southern African Expeditionary Force immigrated to the Bosporus Strait, the Sea of ​​Marmara, and the Dardanelles. One hundred thousand is huge, and the federal government of southern Africa must maintain a considerable number of troops in this area in order to guarantee the interests of the southern Africans.

The most important thing is that when the Dardanelles enter the Mediterranean, Cyprus is the first to bear the brunt. In order to ensure the safety of Cyprus, the Southern African Federal Government must also ensure the safety of the Dardanelles.

"What do you mean? Disband the peacekeeping force of the League of Nations and hand over the outlet of the Black Sea to southern Africa?" Saar didn't care about his name, but his IQ was still good. He immediately understood what Oakland meant and sang along with Auckland.

"Stop! Shut up both of you! The peacekeeping force cannot be disbanded—" Sir Eric Drummond was in a state of aura. This man's heart is broken, and the team is not easy to lead. Leading such a group of younger brothers is very difficult. What a bother.

"Hehe, Southern Africa has no intention of taking over the mouth of the Black Sea, but there are nearly [-] southern Africans living in this area. Our Southern African federal government must also protect their interests." Andy took his time, Southern Africa is Consider forming the Mediterranean Fleet, once the Mediterranean Fleet is officially listed, hehe——

Among the three existing fleets in southern Africa, apart from the local fleet, which has a serious lack of presence, the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet are both strong.

However, neither of these two fleets can cover the Mediterranean Sea, which prevents the security of Cyprus from being effectively guaranteed.

Even without considering the relationship between Rock and Arthur, it is necessary for southern Africa to form a Mediterranean fleet to protect the interests of the southern Africans around the Mediterranean Sea and the federal government of southern Africa.

Don't forget that Port Elizabeth's oil pipeline export in the Mediterranean also belongs to the Mediterranean.

Of course, in order not to irritate Britain, France, and Italy, the size of the Mediterranean Fleet will not be too large. There will definitely be no aircraft carriers and battleships. There can be more submarines. Anyway, the countries in the relevant regions cannot see it.

Spain: What do you mean, I am not a Mediterranean country?
Greece raised his hand in the corner: I am also a Mediterranean country, but I raised my hand not because I objected, but to show my presence.

Egypt: MMP, if you mention me, you will die or something——

"Southern Africa doesn't have a mandated territory in the Balkan Peninsula. Why do you have immigrants in the Mediterranean?" Mr. Biyuan regrouped. He saw through that the entire Commonwealth of Nations was like dogs, and there was no such thing as justice.

Commonwealth Collective: You crap!
"Is it strange? From the capture of Constantinople by our southern African expeditionary force to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, how could you have the heart to separate tens of thousands of southern African soldiers from each other? The Garibaldi Peninsula after the war There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, people are displaced, and it is almost impossible to find a complete house. We rebuild our homes on the ruins, repair roads, build water conservancy, and the roads are blue--" Andy's expression is dignified, his eyes are red, and his deep voice There was a slight trembling in it, and the hand that was holding the Eternal gold pen was showing veins——

Heck, the image would be perfect if there wasn't something weird mixed in.

"Andy, it's almost over—" Sir Eric Drummond couldn't help reminding, if this is not interrupted, Andy will probably be in the past forever.

"Yes Lord - I just want to say that the current Constantinople and the Dardanelles were bought by our Southern African Expeditionary Force with the lives of more than 4000 warriors. Take Constantinople away in your hands, unless you step over my dead body!" Andy slapped the table and roared, you scumbags can sit here in good clothes and discuss international affairs, you are so grateful to us southern African soldiers pay.

"Of course Andy, no one denies the sacrifice of the Southern African Expeditionary Force—" Jules Josselin shook his head and smiled bitterly. Southern Africa after the Washington Conference has become unstoppable.

"So, Mr. Binhara, what's your opinion?" Andy took advantage of this aura to attack Kijuro Binhara directly.

"No, General Andy, on the issue of Constantinople, our Empire of Japan does not have any opinion—" Kijuro Kishihara clarified that having no opinion on the issue of Constantinople does not mean that he has no opinion on Southern Africa. Opinion.

"Andy, don't be angry, no matter what, we, Australia, will always be with southern Africa!" Sal, the younger brother, is indeed loyal.

"There is also Canada. Any country that wants to target southern Africa must consider the consequences. Canada is the eternal brother of southern Africa." Oakland came to Andy's side and gave Andy a big hug.

Both Sir Eric Drummond and Kijuro Kishihara frowned.

Jules Josselin seemed to be asleep.

The Spanish representative smiled and applauded softly.

The representative of Greece and Oliver were thoughtful.

Only the representative of Germany stayed out of the matter, watching Andy's performance coldly with his arms folded, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth was fleeting.

After talking for a long time, it is still a benefit after all.

As for the topics that should be discussed——

That doesn't matter, the important thing is to put yourself in the right position.
