Chapter 1815 Go home

It is good to have self-confidence, but it is not good to be too self-confident. The biggest problem of the British Empire is that it has dominated the world for 100 years.

It's really only 100 years, don't look at the "sun never sets" or something, Britain became "the sun never sets", that is, after defeating Napoleon in 1815 and winning the second Hundred Years War, it is not too far from 1930 Far.

For the British, the "Empire on which the sun never sets" is of course something to be proud of, and Austin is the same. The British of their generation have become accustomed to giving and receiving what they want when facing other countries, forgetting the true face of the world.

The true face is naturally seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Everyone knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is the same when it is enlarged to the country.

Although Britain began to decline since the Second Boer War, the strength of the United Kingdom did not reach its peak until the end of the First World War. Otherwise, the United States would not even join the League of Nations. Back to America.

The question is, at the end of the world war, how much of the United Kingdom's peak power was attributed to southern Africa?

I'm afraid even Austin has never thought about this question.

So after Yang Smolts exposed the United Kingdom's foreign power and middle power.

Austin's mood is hard to describe in words, probably seven points of anger plus two points of surprise, plus one point of fear.

London after Southern Africa's secession from the Commonwealth, just like the arrival of winter smog ahead of time, the whole city is shrouded in fog, the future is uncertain, and undercurrents are surging.

Later, Neville hosted a dinner at the Prime Minister's House, to which Jan Smudge was invited.

Undoubtedly, Yang Smother, dressed in military uniform, became the focus of the banquet.

Yang Smother is not wearing the uniform of the British army, but the uniform of the southern African general, which is very symbolic, and it is very eye-catching in the banquet where all evening dresses are seen.

"Yang, appropriate concessions are necessary. Even if Southern Africa breaks away from the Commonwealth, it will still be the closest friend of the United Kingdom." Winston has mixed feelings. People always take it for granted when they have it, and regret it after losing it.

Too bad we can't turn back time.

"Isn't equality the most important thing among friends?" Yang Smozi was also helpless. During his time in London, he heard this kind of words a lot, but when it comes to the relationship between southern Africa and the United Kingdom, Immediately the taste changed.

friend--

Hehe, who deserves to be friends with the British Empire!
"Please send my regards to Locke. We lack some effective communication. Tell Locke that he can come to London whenever he feels right. I look forward to meeting him." Neville's eyes were bloodshot, and he finally got his dream. The position of Prime Minister, but did not expect to encounter a crisis of confidence just as soon as he took office.

When Neville first took office, he was ambitious and vowed to lead the British Empire back to its peak.

Southern Africa certainly featured prominently in Neville's plans.

Now without the help of southern Africa, Neville will definitely have to adjust his plan.

I just don't know how Neville can make up for the loss caused by Southern Africa's secession from the Commonwealth.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I will pass on your greetings to the lord, but the lord is too busy with work, so I can't make any promises to you." Yang Smotz really wants to repair the rift with southern Africa, why don't you go As for southern Africa, Rock certainly welcomes Neville's visit to southern Africa.

After Neville became Prime Minister, the first country he visited was France, and the second was Germany. He just returned from the United States a few days ago.

From Neville's itinerary, we can see what the status of Southern Africa is in Neville's mind.

This cannot be blamed on Neville.

When Neville took over No. [-] Downing Street, Southern Africa was still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and he could say anything about himself.

However, there is a fact that must be stated. After the establishment of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, King George V has already visited Southern Africa in the name of holding the Commonwealth Games in Pretoria, but the British Prime Minister has never visited Southern Africa during his tenure. .

Even in the last few British prime ministers, only Winston has been to southern Africa after leaving office. Stanley Baldwin and Ramsay MacDonald have never been to southern Africa, whether during their tenure or after leaving office.

It's hard to believe that as the most important member of the Commonwealth of Nations, it was ignored by the British Prime Minister to such an extent. Even if southern Africa is a little far away from the British mainland, it shouldn't be like this.

"Locke is the Marquis of Nyasaland conferred by His Majesty. Southern Africa and the United Kingdom should not have come to this point." Stanley Baldwin is still serving as the Privy Councilor. He is getting weaker and weaker, otherwise Neville No chance either.

"Southern Africa left the Commonwealth. I don't think southern Africa is responsible." Yang Smotz was indifferent. Everyone knew who was responsible, and it was meaningless to talk about it now.

The banquet held by the British Prime Minister was naturally full of guests, and the envoys from various countries in the UK were invited, but none of them showed much enthusiasm for Yang Smolts.

This is also normal. Even if there is something, you can communicate in private. This kind of occasion is not suitable.

No matter how dissatisfied Winston and Neville were with Southern Africa, they would not show it in public.

Someone was unrestrained, and before the banquet was halfway through, Yang Smother was openly challenged by a young man.

"Southern Africa is crazy. Otherwise, how dare they break away from the Commonwealth. The people in that land are ungrateful and ambitious. Without the British Empire, there would be no Southern Africa today. This is a shameful betrayal and will be punished. The punishment of the entire civilized world—" In the corner of the banquet hall, a young man with a well-dressed and thin figure uttered nonsense.

It seems that the young man has quite a high status, and the people around him echoed and lashed out at southern Africa.

"Southern Africans are worse than Americans!"

"We should once again organize an expeditionary force and let the Union Jack fly high over Pretoria!"

"Arrest those careerists and hang them all!"

Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Young people are arrogant and ambitious. With the stimulation of alcohol, the voice is a bit loud.

But those who are eligible to attend the banquet at the Prime Minister's Palace are certainly not all fools.

So when this group of young people started to turn the topic to southern Africa, the people around them quietly walked away without any trace, which made this group of young people more eye-catching.

However, they don't seem to realize that they are isolated, but rather enjoy the feeling of being watched.

Yang Smother obviously heard it too, but he did not rush to refute, but looked at Stanley Baldwin and Winston beside him with stern eyes.

Stanley Baldwin must have heard it too, but Stanley Baldwin didn't interfere. Instead, he downplayed it: "Young people are not sensible, and our blood was once boiling—"

passionate!

Is the word Nima used in this way?
"The young man in the middle is the grandson of the Duke of Gloucester—" Winston introduced softly, and Yang Smudge suddenly realized.

I really can't blame the grandson for being rude, because he doesn't know what politeness is.

The Gloucester family is still deeply involved with southern Africa, but in recent years, the Gloucester family has lost a lot of interests in southern Africa.

The Gloucester family once owned gold mines in the Rand mining area, but later because they violated the regulations of the Southern African Federal Government, the Gloucester family lost the right to operate the gold mine, and the gold mine was forcibly taken back. The Gloucester family only received A little paltry compensation.

Now the Gloucester family is still a shareholder of Adam's company.

Last year, for some reason, Adan Company did not pay dividends to shareholders, which itself has caused dissatisfaction among many shareholders.

After Southern Africa broke away from the Commonwealth, the operation of Adan Company continued to deteriorate, and now it has reached the point where it cannot make ends meet. There are rumors that Adan Company is about to go bankrupt. no city.

Even if Adan Company is about to go bankrupt, no one is willing to sell Adan Company's stock, which shows how strong the market's confidence in Adan Company is.

But this is definitely not good news for the shareholders of Adan Company.

The market value of Adan Company is 7, and the stock fell by 10%, and the loss was hundreds of millions. Who can bear this thing.

That is to say, in southern Africa, if this is replaced by the United States, it is estimated that the stock market has already started a chain reaction.

But even if the Gloucester family had a stake, Young Smudge could not tolerate such slander for southern Africa.

Yang Smolts would definitely not fight in person. This is England, so we have to use the British way to solve the problem.

So Yang Smozi sneered: "So, we can only watch their nonsense here and can't do anything. It really is very British."

This said that Winston and Stanley Baldwin changed their faces at the same time, after all, they are both people who want face.

But Winston and Stanley Baldwin will definitely not show up, and they can't afford to lose this person.

So a young man went over to persuade: "William, you are drunk, go back quickly, don't worry the Duke—"

These words are already very face-saving, but some people still don't know what to do.

"Simmons, you southern African dog, it looks like you haven't been beaten enough, I'm going to teach you a lesson with my own hands—" William was indeed drunk, and walked towards Simmons crookedly, with his clothes still in his hands. Glass full of red wine.

Simmons didn't talk nonsense, raised his hand to grab the cup, and poured it directly on William's face.

"I said, you drank too much, get the hell out of here right now!" Simmons said in a cold voice.

Everyone was shocked. Ten years ago, this behavior was enough to trigger an endless duel.

It's a pity that the UK now is not the UK ten years ago.

The British people now have lost their blood and bravery.
