Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2019 Two Old Versailles
Not only the French Prime Minister, but throughout Europe, government officials are a high-risk occupation.

Although the French Prime Minister will not work for a long time, at least his life is not in danger. The leaders of other countries will be miserable. If they fail, they will die for no apparent reason, and the probability is quite high. The higher the position, the more dangerous it is.

Compared with the Austrian Prime Minister and the King of Yugoslavia, the attack on the Japanese delegation did not even stir up a splash, and people were not even interested in discussing it.

The most affected must be the Navy Conference. Japan is currently the "third strongest" country in the world in terms of naval power. Without Japan's participation, it would be meaningless for the Navy Conference to reach a final resolution.

The reason why the quotation marks are added is because the strength of the navies of various countries is quietly changing. Southern Africa, which has ten aircraft carriers, has a total tonnage of about 28 tons. Although the BB parties in the navies of various countries are still struggling desperately, everyone is already clear Realize that the strength of the Southern African Navy is definitely no less than that of the Royal Navy and the US Navy.

Even slightly exceeded in a sense.

In addition to capital ships, Southern Africa has been vigorously developing small warships, mainly light cruisers, in recent years, taking advantage of the loopholes in the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty.

From 1922 to 1932, a total of 165 warships were built in Southern Africa.

During the same period, Britain built 148 ships, Japan built 164 ships, and the United States only built 40 ships. Southern Africa surpassed Britain, the United States and Japan in terms of quantity and quality.

This is also normal. At the end of the First World War, the British, American and Japanese navies had reached a considerable scale, and Southern Africa did not even have a battleship at that time.

Ten years have passed, and the southern African navy has just reached the same level as the Japanese navy in terms of number, and there is still a certain gap compared with the United Kingdom and the United States. Therefore, there is still a lot of room for southern Africa to continue building warships.

After the attack on the Japanese delegation, the naval meeting had actually lost its meaning, and the southern African delegation also focused more on negotiations with the Americans.

The Americans dropped an unrealistic $50 billion compensation claim.

This is a prerequisite for Southern Africa to come back to the negotiating table.

"Compensation is impossible, but the new Brazilian government considers it from a humanitarian point of view. It can give some financial compensation to the US Marines who died in battle. The standard can refer to the US government's pension standard for dead soldiers after the World War." Yang Yang · The conditions offered by Smozi are very harsh. The world wars were more than ten years ago. After flooding during the economic crisis, the exchange rate of the US dollar has been falling all the way, and the gold content is not as good as before.

"Nyasaran and Fawalt Steel Group promise not to change the price of iron ore at will. If the American Federation of Iron and Steel Enterprises is willing to buy iron ore from the Iron Four Corners and Pilbara, then the business sector will be handed over. I believe that the elites in the business world will have a reasonable solution, but before that, I have a request—" Yang Smother is now completely in the dominant position, Hull has an ugly expression, but he is helpless .

The key is to lose the battle, the U.S. Marine Corps is not up to snuff, what can Hull do?

Washington has now acknowledged that its involvement in Brazil's civil war was a war in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong opponent.

The economic crisis has just ended, and other countries are busy restoring their economies to make money and build warships, but the United States is in deep trouble. It has wasted billions of dollars in Brazil and gained nothing.

Now Washington only wants to withdraw from Brazil in a decent way and devote more energy to developing the economy, and even whether this will lead to the loss of the US hegemony in the Americas, Washington has already ignored it.

"We hope that the United States will suspend all trade with Japan and fully implement the economic sanctions imposed on Japan by the League of Nations—" Yang Smother's request made Hull unable to remain silent any longer.

"Trade with Japan is also a commercial activity of American companies. The US government has no power and will not interfere." Hull still insists on free trade.

"Come on, Mr. Secretary of State, these words can be reserved for the press conference. We should be more sincere." Yang Smotz decisively exposed Hull's little trick. The Monroe Doctrine and free trade in the United States are basically two a completely contradictory theory.

"Haven't you noticed that Japan's military expansion has threatened the interests of all of us. The key is that the Japanese are not satisfied. They are demanding more and more rights, and they will demand more in the future." Yang · Smozi is merciless, and Americans often deceive themselves and others.

On the second day after the attack on the Japanese delegation, Osamu Nagano, the Japanese ambassador to the UK who participated in the naval meeting on behalf of Konobu Kaya, publicly stated at the naval meeting: Japan hopes to obtain the same total tonnage as the United States and the United Kingdom in terms of the total tonnage of the naval capital ships. same status.

This also means that Japan is already ready to break through the limit of 30 tons of capital ships, and has begun to sprint to 50 tons.

At the same time, Osamu Nagano also proposed: In view of the fact that the provisions of the "Washington Naval Treaty" and "London Naval Treaty" are outdated, it is required to abolish the restrictions of these two treaties and end the "Navy Holiday Era".

Both of these requirements are excessive and fully reflect the ambitions of the Japanese.

Although the "naval holiday era" is actually over, it is undoubtedly a public humiliation to the United States and the United Kingdom to raise it so publicly.

After all, the "Washington Naval Treaty" and the "London Naval Treaty" were respectively revised by the United States and the United Kingdom.

Yang Smozi's attitude is very clear. Japan is now demanding the same status as the United Kingdom and the United States. If Japan agrees to their demands, then the Japanese ambitions will continue to expand. What will be done then? Continue to meet the Japanese demands?Then God knows if the Japanese will have a long look at Shu.

Dissatisfaction is even more troublesome. The Japanese are now like spoiled brats, wantonly breaking international conventions, completely ignoring the serious consequences of such bad behavior.

"The Japanese are walking on the wrong path. The farther they go, the more mistakes they make-" Hull finally couldn't help exposing the true purpose of the Americans.

Everyone in southern Africa knows that the Japanese are building Yamato, but don't the Americans know?
I know for sure.

Not only did the Americans fail to remind the Japanese, but they continued to provide the Japanese with raw materials. The reasons behind this are very complicated, and a considerable part of it is to hope that the disaster will lead to conflicts between southern Africa and Japan.

Japan is now like a bastard who is not so clear-headed. The Americans are constantly fanning the flames, hoping that Japan will directly target southern Africa, and will not hesitate to lease the port of Palawan Island to the Japanese to provide Japan with The springboard for a direct attack on Changi Naval Base.

The Japanese are obviously playing tricks. After the 70000-ton "Yamato" is built, it can be used to attack southern Africa or the United States. The eighteen hells or the seventeen hells are all in the mind of the Japanese.

"Some people's private interests cannot make us all pay. You and London are making the same mistake. The Japanese have already demanded the abolition of the "Washington Naval Treaty" and "London Naval Treaty". The French and Italians made it clear They won’t dismantle their new battleships, so you and the United Kingdom still have to put shackles on yourself?” Yang Smotz was heartbroken, and he thought about it for several nights, but he couldn’t figure out why Britain and the United States did this.

Both the London Naval Treaty and the Washington Naval Treaty expired in 1936.

Now there are only three years left before 1936. Japan’s military expansion, Germany’s crazy military expansion, and the Mediterranean war clouds are dense. The situation is very similar to that before the outbreak of the First World War. At this time, the United Kingdom and the United States should be prepared for the upcoming Second World War Take precautions against the war, instead of binding your hands and feet as it is now.

"Heh, Minister Smudge, haven't you realized that France, Italy, and even Japan are not our real opponents at all." Hull made it clear that this is what Americans are really worried about.

Regardless of the high jumps of the Japanese, Japan has limited national strength and insufficient resources. No matter in terms of strength or potential, it is impossible to compete with the United States, Britain, and southern Africa.

Yes, in addition to the US and UK, there is Southern Africa.

Therefore, what Yang Smotz thought of as self-binding, in the eyes of the Americans and the British, was precisely the best effort to limit the arms race.

Japan, France, and Italy are not restricted.

Even if these few warships are rebuilt, they will not be able to build a few after all.

If the United Kingdom, the United States and southern Africa go all out, the situation will be completely out of control.

"So what we want to restrict is never France and Italy, nor Japan, but us, the United States, and your southern Africa—" Hull looked arrogant, pointing his finger first to his nose, and then to Yang Shimozi.

Since the UK is not mentioned, the implication is that even the UK is not worthy of being an opponent of the United States and southern Africa.

"Wait, we in southern Africa are peace-loving—" Jan Smitz shamelessly looked like a standard Anglo-Saxon.

"Shut up! Give your southern Africa peace-loving people, look how many aircraft carriers you have built, look how many fighter jets and long-range bombers you have, look how many heavy tanks you have, let alone your aircraft carriers and heavy tanks are for In Africa, and even in the world, there is no country at all that can pose a threat to the security of southern Africa." Hull looked disgusted, and even though he was already strong at this level, he kept saying that he loved peace, and it was true. Excuse me.

"You can't say it like this. You built so many 'Yorktowns' in one go, is it for fishing?" Yang Smozi felt a little hot on his face, but he was still a little inexplicably dark.
