Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1857 Tangled United Kingdom

As far as the current strength of the Royal Navy is concerned, even if the Atlantic Fleet withdraws from Halifax, the Royal Fleet may not necessarily regain lost ground.

Even if the Royal Navy returns to Halifax symbolically, after a while, the Royal Navy may still have to give up, and Canada will still inevitably face the threat of the United States.

On this issue, Canada's current prime minister, Richard Bedford Bennett, could be a fool.

As Canada's longest-serving prime minister, William King certainly can do no wrong.

Speaking of Richard Bedford Bennett, who was born in poverty, did nothing during his five years in office, and became a nobleman in the British House of Lords after leaving office. The only Canadian prime minister buried in the UK is also a legend.

Bennett is a successful businessman, but the way he made his fortune is different from others. Bennett had a female classmate named Jenny. Leave it to Bennett, and Bennett gets rich.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, then Canadian Prime Minister William King believed that the economic crisis would end soon, so he did not make timely adjustments.

Bennett, who was still in the audience at the time, frequently attacked William King, who was doing nothing, and successfully defeated William King in last year's general election to become Prime Minister of Canada.

But Bennett did not lead Canada out of the economic crisis.

On the contrary, after Bennett came to power, when the roles were reversed and William King, who became the leader of the opposition party, asked Bennett how to deal with the economic crisis, Bennett's answer was: "What crisis?"

This answer is too classic, comparable to Ma Hemei.

With such a leader in power, Canada will be able to quickly get rid of the impact of the economic crisis.

In this case, if the Atlantic Fleet withdraws from Halifax, Canada will not be able to guarantee national security at all.

"So we got nothing by expelling Southern Africa from the Commonwealth. Nothing has changed." David Beatty, the new Admiralty of the Navy, frowned. What he took over was also a mess.

David Beatty was born in 1871 and participated in the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. His wife, like Winston's mother, is also the daughter of an American millionaire.

During Winston's tenure as Secretary of the Navy, David Beatty was Winston's deputy and served as the Admiral of the Sea. Later, he participated in a series of naval battles as the commander of the squadron. After the war, he was named Earl and received a reward of 10 pounds.

According to David Beatty's age, he has actually reached the stage of retirement, but the Royal Navy is now in a stage of failure, and David Beatty was ordered in a crisis.

"Of course, we may have lost our most important ally. I hope that when the next world war breaks out, India can form a force comparable to the Southern African Expeditionary Force." Winston had a grim expression, forcing Southern Africa out of Britain The Federation was not Winston's original intention.

"How can you say that? Southern Africa is still an ally of the United Kingdom, and there will be no next world war, definitely not!" Neville was upset. The current United Kingdom is completely different from what Neville imagined.

In Neville's imagination, after he became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, southern Africa could cooperate more closely with the United Kingdom, enough to face any challenge.

Unexpectedly, before Neville was familiar with the work, Southern Africa directly withdrew from the Commonwealth, which dealt a heavy blow to Neville.

The situation is very troublesome now. The status of southern Africa in the Commonwealth is irreplaceable. During the World War, Rock led the British Expeditionary Force to beat the Germans to the ground. Now that Southern Africa has withdrawn from the Commonwealth, when the World War breaks out again, who will To replace Roque and the Southern African Expeditionary Force?

So Neville can only hope that World War II will never come.

"Can't you see it? Germany is out of the League of Nations, Japan is out of the League of Nations, France and Italy are in an arms race, ask Marshal Roger Keyes, he will tell you, he faces every day in the Mediterranean What kind of pressure is it?" Winston was also stunned by anger, Roger Case had retired last year, and Roger Case's chief of staff, Dudley Pound, replaced Roger Case.

Interestingly, Dudley Pound is a year older than Roger Keyes.

Relations between Winston and Neville remained tense and had not been eased by Winston's appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Neville's cabinet.

Winston has always been the main combat faction.

Neville is vacillating between the main battle and the main draw.

"As I said, there will be no next world war. No matter how crazy France and Italy are, the intensity and impact of the arms race is far less than that between us and Germany." Neville was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly. He His political popularity is far less than that of Winston.

Winston in this time and space has led Britain to win the First World War.

If Winston can also lead Britain to win the Second World War, then Winston will undoubtedly become the greatest Briton in history.

This time it's really not a joke.

"Okay gentlemen, let us all calm down. If you can't keep calm, then our country is over." The old and strong Stanley Baldwin is the pinnacle of this cabinet. In the midst of harmony, Winston and Neville can argue from morning to night.

Inviting Winston to join the cabinet is also to balance the rights of the Neville family. You must know that when Neville was the prime minister, Austin, another member of the Neville family, was also the foreign minister.

Although Stanley Baldwin has resigned, he is old-hearted. After the Conservative Party regained power in another time and space, Stanley Baldwin is still the prime minister.

In this time and space, Neville successfully replaced Stanley Baldwin with the influence of southern Africa. Unfortunately, things are volatile, and southern Africa has become farther and farther away from the Commonwealth.

While Neville and Winston were arguing, the other cabinet ministers were relatively silent.

The British Empire has always been turbulent, and now the internal divisions are still so serious, how to face the increasingly severe international situation.

"Let's talk about the Imperial Conference. To get rid of the current unfavorable situation, the Imperial Conference is an opportunity—" Stanley Baldwin didn't finish speaking. Opportunities are indeed opportunities, but they must be grasped.

"Can we invite Southern Africa to the Imperial Conference?" If possible, Winston would love to bring Southern Africa back into the Commonwealth.

"Southern Africa has already left the Commonwealth of Nations. Even if we extend an invitation to southern Africa, I am afraid that southern Africa will not return to London." John Simon would not do this either. If he knew today, why bother.

Forget it, this is another muddled account, and I don't know how many people are unlucky to be held accountable.

"We can send an invitation to Cape, or Rhodesia—" Earl Reading, who once served as the Governor of India and is currently the Minister of the Dominion, smiled with a knife behind his back.

In 1907, the United Kingdom established a Dominion Department under the Colonial Affairs Department.

In 1926, the Dominions were raised to the same level as the British Foreign Office, Colonial Affairs, and India.

The Earl of Reading chose Cape and Rhodesia for a reason. Cape was the earliest British colony in southern Africa, and Britain still has a huge influence on Cape.

As for Rhodesia, when the Federal Government of Southern Africa was established, Rhodesia, like Nyasaland, was a pawn buried in Britain.

It's a pity that these two chess pieces were all invalid before the UK was activated.

Otherwise, Nyasaland should be the best choice.

As for Orange—

Sorry, the Earl of Aden doesn't like Orange at all.

"Heh, when the Federal Government of Southern Africa was established, the United Kingdom had already lost the trust of the Cape people—as for Rhodesia, why do you think that the Rhodes family would be grateful to the United Kingdom?" Winston said The Count of Aden knew more about Southern Africa.

"Hehe, then pretend I didn't say it." Earl Aden was not angry, this is not okay, and that is not okay, you can do what you want.

"To send an invitation to southern Africa, we must fully consider the response of the federal government of southern Africa." Neville is considering visiting southern Africa and does not want the relationship with Rock to become worse.

"The relationship between us can no longer get worse—" David Beatty is still relatively tough. In fact, he should be grateful to Southern Africa. If Southern Africa returns the Changi Naval Base to the Royal Navy, it will also be a hot potato. .

Having the Indian Ocean Fleet defending the Changi Naval Base can at least guarantee Britain's interests in the Indian Ocean. From this perspective, it is understandable why Ramsay McDonald sold the Changi Naval Base to Southern Africa.

Britain is busy supporting Germany to suppress France in Europe, and its interests in the Mediterranean have been affected by the arms race between France and Italy. If there is a fire in the backyard of the Indian Ocean at this time, the Royal Navy will be exhausted, and it may not be useful.

Now at least the Royal Navy can concentrate more energy on the English Channel and the Mediterranean Sea. Before Japan breaks through the defense line of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Britain does not need to worry about the Far East.

As for British interests in the Far East—

The United Kingdom has even given up on southern Africa. What else can't be given up?
If you want to maintain, you have to be able to maintain it.

"No, no, we can't do this." Neville is firm on this issue. The United Kingdom has made many mistakes, but it cannot make mistakes again and again on the wrong path.

Rock doesn't know how entangled the current British cabinet is. The relationship between southern Africa and the United Kingdom is too close, and separation from the Commonwealth will not be achieved overnight. Anyway, Rock is not in a hurry now, and keeps throwing pieces one by one. Sooner or later will all work.

"What do the Germans say?" Rock asked about the Nonaggression Pact.

"Ambassador Bright invites you to visit Germany on behalf of Berlin—" Louis became more and more mature, Sidney Milner went to the Ministry of Commerce, and Louis became the chief executive of the Palace of Justice again.

What about visiting Germany——

Not impossible, but certainly not now.
