Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1841 Dissolution is imminent
Geneva, Palais des Nations, the General Assembly of the League of Nations.

After the failure of the Conference on Disarmament, the former secretary-general, Sir Eric Drummond, stepped down and the new secretary-general was replaced by a Frenchman, Joseph Avenot.

Joseph Aveno can be said to have been ordered in a crisis. Before he came to power, the League of Nations suffered consecutive defeats at the Disarmament Conference and Germany withdrew from the League of Nations. The prestige was seriously affected.

It's a pity that Joseph Aveeno didn't have the ability to turn the tide. The most difficult problem he faces now is the Great Summer Valley War and Japan's military expansion in the Far East.

The Great Summer Valley War, known as the Chaco War, was fought between Bolivia and Paraguay in South America.

The Gran Chaco region is located to the west of the Paraguay River, east of the Andes, south of the Amazon Basin, and north of the Pampas, covering an area of ​​about 65 square kilometers. The ownership of the kilometers of land has been disputed.

Two years ago, Mobil announced the discovery of oil in the North Chaco area. The conflict between Bolivia and Paraguay intensified. Bolivia relied on the support of Mobil and Chile to fully dominate the conflict. Paraguay asked the League of Nations to intervene in mediation.

When the League of Nations intervened in the mediation process, Paraguay mobilized the whole country, expanded its military strength from 3000 to 60000, and launched a counterattack against Bolivia. Bolivia was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The honor of the League of Nations was once again damaged.

"Bolivia stopped attacking at the request of the League of Nations, but Paraguay took the opportunity to fully mobilize and purchase advanced weapons and armed forces. Shouldn't the League of Nations be responsible for this?" Luis Carlos, Bolivia's representative to the League of Nations, pressed Joseph Aveno, French The status in the League of Nations is evident.

If Sir Eric Drummond was the Secretary-General, even if the situation was a little worse, Luis Carlos would not dare to do so.

Now Sir Eric Drummond is sitting on the seat of the British delegation, looking at Luis Carlos with a smile on his face, chatting with the staff around him from time to time.

This made Luis Carlos furious even more.

Mobil and Chile supported Bolivia's attack on Paraguay.

Supporting Paraguay is Argentina and the lingering Royal Shell.

During the period when the League of Nations intervened in the truce, Paraguay carried out a national mobilization on the one hand, and on the other hand purchased a large amount of weapons from the British Vickers Company through a loan obtained from Royal Shell. Bolivia, which was unprepared for this, was caught off guard.

Before the war, Paraguay's economy was backward, and there were only 3000 troops in the country, equipped with Mauser rifles eliminated by Argentina, and an average of 7 people owned one.

Relatively speaking, Bolivia has advanced equipment. In addition to a large number of mountain guns and machine guns, it also has two Vickers 6-ton tanks also purchased from the British Vickers Company, as well as some Vickers tailor-made for Bolivia. A fighter suitable for plateau combat.

It was found that no, Bolivia and Paraguay both purchased equipment from Vickers in the United Kingdom.

So the biggest winner is clearly the British, which is why Luis Carlos is dissatisfied with the British.

"The Northern Chaco region has belonged to Paraguay since ancient times. You Bolivia are a despicable invasion, and we are a legitimate counterattack!" Paraguay representative Juan Silva was triumphant, and the Paraguayan army had the upper hand on the battlefield. Juan Silva naturally There is confidence.

Chaco Canyon was originally an administrative province of the Spanish colony of Bolivia.

Therefore, after independence, Bolivia believes that Bolivia should inherit jurisdiction.

In reality, however, no Bolivians have ever settled or lived in the Chaco Canyon.

On the contrary, the indigenous Guarani people of Paraguay grazed in the Grand Canyon a long time ago, which has had a huge impact on the culture of the region, and Paraguay also insists on having jurisdiction over the Chaco Grand Canyon.

"A country that was only established in 1811 has the nerve to use it since ancient times?" Luis Carlos sneered.

"That's more qualified than a country that was only established in 1825!" Juan Silva laughed, and you can bite me if you have the ability.

"What's the result of Sir Lytton's investigation?" Sean Ferguson, the Southern African representative to the League of Nations, was not interested in Carlos and Juan's flirtation. In order to investigate Japan's military expansion in the Far East, the League of Nations sent a team headed by Sir Lytton. The investigation team, the League of Nations will review Sir Lytton's investigation report later.

Former Australian Prime Minister Stanley Bruce, who had just taken over as Australia's representative to the League of Nations, gave Sean Ferguson an affirmative smile and a confident nod.

Sean Ferguson is determined, and the relationship between Stanley Bruce and southern Africa has always been very good. Southern Africa has now withdrawn from the Commonwealth of Nations. Australia is an important link for the Commonwealth countries in southern Africa.

"Okay, gentlemen, I ask you to restore the front line to before the League of Nations intervened, continue to abide by the armistice agreement, and wait for the final investigation results. Can you do it?" Joseph Aveno was in a bad mood. Difficult questions are a great challenge to Joseph Avenot's ability.

"No, the Paraguayans must withdraw from North Chaco Lake and the Chaco Grand Canyon." Carlos no longer trusted the mediation of the League of Nations. If the League of Nations hadn't intervened to demand a truce last time, Bolivia might have flattened Paraguay.

"Lake Chaco North is Paraguay's inherent territory, and Paraguay will never give it up." Juan refused to budge.

Last May, when a Bolivian major took a plane to inspect the North Chaco area, he discovered a large lake. Due to the hot and dry North Chaco, Bolivia and Brazil attach great importance to controlling local water sources. A vast lake is of great strategic significance .

After the major reported to his superiors, he quickly received an order to control North Chaco Lake. The major then led a small detachment to arrive at North Chaco Lake after a three-week trek.

At this time, the major discovered to his dismay that the Paraguayan soldiers had arrived at North Chaco Lake ahead of schedule, and built a post next to North Chaco Lake, stationed with ten soldiers.

As mentioned above, Paraguay was backward in equipment before the outbreak of the war. On average, only 7 people had a Mauser rifle that had been eliminated. Many Paraguayan soldiers even used scimitars.

Under the premise that all the troops and equipment are superior, the major commanded the troops to launch an attack on the Paraguay post, and the Great Summer Valley War broke out.

"Mr. Silva, sometimes you should make appropriate concessions so that you can go further." Aveno was very dissatisfied with the Paraguayans. He used the League of Nations to mediate the national mobilization, which clearly put the League of Nations together.

"Mr. Secretary-General, you are undisguisedly partial—" Juan Silva froze for a moment, and it was clear that Aveno was not in his eyes.

"Asshole, you are showing contempt for the League of Nations. The League of Nations should initiate sanctions against Paraguay!" Carlos seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Aveno didn't speak, but looked at Juan Silva badly.

Juan Silva's expression was a little flustered. Paraguay is weak and has no ability to fight against the League of Nations.

Then Juan Silva saw Sir Eric Drummond's half-smile expression, and Juan Silva was full of strength in an instant.

"If the League of Nations dares to impose sanctions on Paraguay, then Paraguay will withdraw from the League of Nations!" Juan Silva broke the boat. Germany has already withdrawn from the League of Nations and has not been sanctioned by the League of Nations.

Everyone was shocked for a while.

Germans are not afraid of the League of Nations because Germany has the support of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia. Even if the League of Nations imposes sanctions on Germany, Germany will lose the support of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia, which had not yet joined the League of Nations, so the Germans are sincere. not afraid.

What confidence does Paraguay have against the League of Nations?
If Aveno is tougher, he can directly transfer the League of Nations troops to the Americas, and within three months at most, Paraguay can be wiped out.

It's a pity that Aveno obviously lacks experience in dealing with such things. Facing the tough Juan Silva, Aveno didn't react for a while.

"Hahahaha, wait until you die, bastard, you will be punished by the League of Nations." Carlos laughed wildly, the Paraguayans committed suicide, and no one could stop them.

Sean Ferguson looked at Sir Eric Drummond at this time, and found that Sir Eric Drummond looked at Aveeno with mocking eyes.

Now the League of Nations——

It's beyond words.

The mediation of the Great Summer Valley War has reached an impasse, and the next agenda naturally cannot continue.

At the end of the meeting, Sean Ferguson invited Stanley Bruce to dinner, and Stanley Bruce took care of everything.

"Don't worry Sean, I've read Sir Lytton's report, no matter how much the Japanese argue, the Japanese must withdraw from the Far East Continent—" Stanley Bruce knew what Southern Africa really cared about.

In other words, Stanley Bruce knew what Rock really cared about.

"Sir Lytton will read his report at the collective meeting tomorrow, and then the secretariat will push for a vote on Sir Lytton's report. I can guarantee that no one supports Japan's military expansion except Japan." Stanley Bruce is full of confidence, and whites do have an advantage in this regard.

No matter how high the proportion of Chinese in southern Africa is, the current League of Nations still considers southern Africa a member of a civilized society.

No matter how urgent Japan wants to leave Asia and enter Europe, Europe and the United States will not really pay attention to Japan.

This result is estimated that the Japanese are unwilling to admit it, but this is the fact.

"We must teach the Japanese a painful lesson, and let the Japanese know who is in charge of the League of Nations." Sean Ferguson had a faint smile on his face. Don't think that Japan can have both sides when southern Africa secedes from the Commonwealth. impossible.
