Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1843 Betting on Malacca

Pretoria, Palace of Justice.

Rock put down the telegram in his hand, feeling complicated.

It finally came to this point, Germany and Japan withdrew from the League of Nations one after another, and the Second World War was inevitable.

This was something Rock had been looking forward to, but seeing that the Second World War was approaching, Rock felt a little sad.

After experiencing the bloody mountains of World War I, Rock really didn't want to see World War II break out, if possible.

But it was only a moment, and Roque discarded all the negative emotions in his heart.

Roosevelt Jr. was right. The old colonial system must be broken. Southern Africa needs more space for survival. Since Britain and France are unwilling to transfer power peacefully, let’s fight. The development of the objective world does not depend on personal emotions. Africa wants world peace, but the world is full of ambitious people, and Roque can only follow the trend.

"Louis, inform the ministers to come to the meeting—" Rock rang the bell and called Louis, and he still had to discuss this kind of matter with Henry and Stoudemire.

Of course, Ada and Anton are also indispensable.

An hour later, in the conference room at the end of the fourth floor of the Palace of Justice, the ministers arrived one after another.

The ministers already knew the news of Japan’s withdrawal from the League of Nations at this time, so the meeting room was a bit chaotic. The ministers were communicating with each other, and the secretaries and adjutants sitting by the wall were waiting in full force. The entourage of nearly a hundred ministers is working, and their task is to analyze and prepare various materials to meet Rock's possible inquiries at any time.

At exactly ten o'clock, Rock, Ade, Kitchener, and Philip walked into the conference room, and the chaotic conference hall was suddenly silent.

This situation is a bit big. Ade, Kitchener, and Philip seldom participate in this kind of formal meeting. Rock and Ade walked into the large meeting room from the small meeting room next to it. It was obvious that a temporary meeting had just been held. Closed meeting.

"Let's get started, Minister Smother, please tell me about the situation." Rock's eyes were rarely bloodshot, and the smell of cigars on his body could be smelled ten meters away. This is because Winston was cultivated when he was the governor of southern Africa. Habit.

"Okay—gentlemen, just received the news that Japan officially withdrew from the League of Nations two hours ago because of Sir Lytton's investigation report on the crisis in the Far East—I have a piece of news just received here, the League of Nations administrator The court has formally decided to impose sanctions on Japan." Yang Smozi's expression was calm, and the sarcasm in his eyes was fleeting.

Although I am embarrassed to admit it, the sanctions imposed on Japan by the League of Nations may still be a mere formality.

Before the Indian Ocean Fleet got the Changi Naval Base, Japan still had trade with Europe.

Just after the Indian Ocean Fleet officially took over the Changi Naval Base, Japan's trade with Europe has decreased and its trade with the United States has increased.

As mentioned above, under the premise that southern Africa refuses to provide Japan with any industrial raw materials, Japan mainly obtains the main raw materials needed for industrial production through the United States.

The same reason why the League of Nations sanctioned Germany was not effective, the United States did not join the League of Nations, so the sanctions of the League of Nations did not take effect on the United States, which also led to the fact that the sanctions against Japan by the League of Nations would also be a mere formality.

But it doesn’t work without sanctions. Japan is not Germany, and is not sanctioned by the Treaty of Versailles. Instead, it will be restricted by a series of treaties such as the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty. Moreover, as a permanent member of the League of Nations, it is so direct Withdrawing from the League of Nations, if you don't sanction it, it really doesn't make sense.

It is a pity that such sanctions are useless to Japan, but will further demonstrate the incompetence of the League of Nations and further damage the credibility of the League of Nations.

"Don't pin your hopes on the sanctions imposed by the League of Nations. With the support of the United States, the sanctions imposed by the League of Nations will not have the desired effect." Roque put it bluntly, why else would it be said that imperialism is a paper tiger.

"We can block the Strait of Malacca and prohibit the passage of Japanese merchant ships." Anton exudes a dangerous atmosphere all over his body. Japan has begun military expansion, and time is running out.

"Unless war breaks out, we can do that." Stoudemire was relaxed and casual. He didn't have such an unforgettable hatred for the Japanese as Rock and Anton.

If you try it in France, Stoudemire promises to be more active than anyone else.

"Japan's military expansion actually didn't have a big impact on us." Owen didn't agree either. The League of Nations was only sanctioning and didn't directly declare war. Southern Africa shouldn't be at the forefront.

When Owen and Stoudemire considered issues, they were more in the position of the Southern African Federal Government.

To be honest, in the Far East, Southern Africa has been in a state of attack these years. On the contrary, Japan has a more tolerant attitude and tries to avoid conflicts with Southern Africa.

Several times the patrol boats at the Changi Naval Base encountered the Japanese joint fleet in the relevant waters, but Japan retreated on its own initiative and did not confront the provocative Changi squadron.

Migration from southern Africa was not affected by the outbreak of the Far East crisis.

Therefore, Owen does not want to accumulate conflicts with Japan to an unacceptable level.

After all, Japan's 30-ton capital ship is also a huge challenge for southern Africa.

"Japan's expansion will not be satisfied at the current level. As Japan's ambitions continue to expand, sooner or later the conflict of interests with us will explode. What will we do then?" Anton knew what Owen and Stoudemire were worried about. The worry is that once the war breaks out, it will greatly affect the interests of southern Africa.

Now no one doubts Roque’s judgment on immigration. They are also populous countries. The performance of Indians and Chinese is very different. Southern Africa has today, and the Chinese have contributed a lot. This is the consensus of everyone.

Up to now, the immigrants in southern Africa are still dominated by Chinese. In the past 30 years, the population of southern Africa has climbed from 200 million to 8000 million, and it has become a world-class power. Owen and Stoudemire are actually just worried, not afraid.

Give southern Africa another three years, and the population of southern Africa will exceed the [-] million mark. Owen hopes that southern Africa can wait until three years before tearing up with Japan.

"When the time comes, we will bring the Southern African Union and the Commonwealth together to deal with Japan." Owen is still not giving up on the Commonwealth.

This is also normal. If the interests of southern Africa are affected, then the interests of the United Kingdom will definitely be affected.

So at that time, there is no need for southern Africa to take the initiative, and Britain will take the initiative to bring southern Africa together to deal with Japan.

Even add the United States.

Think about it, the interests of southern Africa and the United Kingdom have been affected, and the Americans still want to stay out of it?

Even if the Americans thought about it, the Japanese would not dare to let the existence of the American power go. After all, the United States and the United Kingdom are both countries founded by the Anglo-Saxons, and they are of the same ancestry.

The Japanese must understand the saying "people who are not of my race must have different hearts".

"I'm afraid the United Kingdom will not be able to take care of Japan at all at that time—" Anton has no expectations for the United Kingdom, relying on everyone, not to mention the country, even an individual, can always rely on himself.

Who wants to pin their hopes on others, then don't blame yourself for being pua——

"The key is the attitude of the United States. We must win the support of the United States." Henry interrupted abruptly. In recent years, the southern Africans that the Japanese hate the most, except for Roque, may be Henry.

Remember the bunch of junk companies Rock and Henry set up in America?
It's really collecting junk, and it's competing with the Japanese to collect junk. Isn't Japan relying on buying scrap steel from the United States to build a joint fleet?

Henry's Fawalt Steel Group would rather lose money to recycle steel than grab food from Japan, and Japan has long hated it.

The reason why Japan hates Rock the most is because Rock voluntarily gave up his dividend in Fawalt Steel Group, so the money Henry lost was Rock's, so Henry wouldn't feel bad.

Now the situation is obvious, there is no need for the United States to do anything, as long as the United States agrees to participate in the economic blockade against Japan, even if Japan expands, it will not be able to jump for a few days.

It really doesn't take a few days to jump around. Don't look at the Japanese combined fleet, which is quite scary, but when the combined fleet needs to move, Japan will import all of them.

Southern Africa will definitely not sell oil to Japan, and East India will not sell it, even if the Japanese ask for a higher price.

So Japan can only import oil from the United States.

It’s tears to say, the little money Japanese women earn from buying such things is used to buy oil and scrap steel from the United States, the money earned by the Americans——

I'm sorry!
"The Americans won't participate." Ada curled her lips. Sima Zhao's ambition for the Americans was also his heart.

One more word of water.

With Germany's current strength, even with the support of Britain, the United States, South Africa, and Russia, it is still too early to recover. What Germany needs now are allies.

A powerful ally.

So even if Germany does not find Japan, the Americans will lead the way.

It's a pity that Americans are still elementary school students when they play tricks and tricks, not even the Japanese, so they accidentally play too big and play themselves into it.

But this is all for later.

"Mr. Anton, transfer all the two aircraft carriers of the East India Fleet to the Changi Naval Base." Even if Southern Africa does not turn against the Japanese now, Roque must create enough pressure on the Japanese.

Anton was taken aback, he didn't expect Rock to be so aggressive.

"At the same time, transfer the aircraft carrier 'George' and the battleship 'West Africa' of the Atlantic Fleet to Diego Garcia." Rock is going to give up the rhythm of the Atlantic and directly transfer half of the main force of the Atlantic Fleet.

"My lord, what about the Atlantic Ocean?" While Anton was ecstatic, he was also worried that he would lose sight of the other.

"Don't worry, the Atlantic Ocean is not just our Atlantic Ocean." Rock was indifferent. Aren't the British and Americans all supporting Germany? You should clean up the troubles you make yourself.

Go to Europe first and then Asia when you go to the f*ck, and southern Africa is to go to Asia first and then Europe.

ps: I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival, and remember to eat rice dumplings—by the way, sweet or meat——
