Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2020 Japanese Persecution Paranoia
Southern Africans may not even realize now how much other countries fear Southern Africa.

30 standing army including mechanized units.

It has ten aircraft carriers, over a hundred light and heavy cruisers plus destroyers, and a navy with a total strength of more than 15, excluding the Marine Corps.

The United Kingdom suggests that when European countries reduce their aircraft to only 500, Southern Africa does not count naval aviation and army aviation, and the Air Force has more than 1500 combat aircraft. There are also huge civil aviation aircraft that can also be used as air force reserves. When needed Ready for military use at any time.

And that's not counting the armies owned by the countries of the Southern African Union.

On the face of it, Southern Africa still has a smaller population than the United States.

However, the gap is very small. It is estimated that within three to five years, the population of southern Africa will be equal to that of the United States.

However, if the countries of the Southern African Union are added, the human resources that can be mobilized in southern Africa have surpassed that of the United States, second only to the United Kingdom including India, and a country in the Far East that is facing internal and external troubles.

Even under such circumstances, southern Africa is still frantically expanding its armaments.

On the basis of the "Tiger" tank, southern Africa is working on the "King Tiger" tank.

The "Storm", which is more advanced than the "Gallery", is under research. The engineers of the Nyasaland military industry have even begun to try to install rocket engines on the aircraft, and the jet aircraft is already on the horizon.

The "island" class aircraft carrier in southern Africa integrates all the most advanced technologies. The United Kingdom and the United States have not even figured out the aircraft carrier deck. Southern Africa has already begun to study composite flight decks.

Speaking of decks, this is again the best kept secret in southern Africa.

The "Elizabeth" class aircraft carrier sold to the United Kingdom in southern Africa uses wooden decks.

The wooden deck is made of high-quality oak, fir or teak. After complex anti-corrosion treatment, the wooden flight deck has the advantages of good heat insulation, high friction, good anti-skid, and light weight.

Although the wooden deck has many advantages, the disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, the protective performance of the wooden deck is too poor. Just a 50 kg aerial bomb can cause irreparable damage to the wooden flight deck.

Secondly, the wooden deck is easy to ignite. The biggest reason for the sinking of the "Lexington" is that the aerial bombs accumulated on the deck were ignited and exploded, causing irreparable losses.

The "City" class aircraft carrier used by Southern Africa itself, although it also uses a wooden flight deck on the surface, but a layer of steel plate up to 70 mm thick is laid under the deck to protect the safety of the hangar, which can effectively reduce the number of wooden flight decks. Hazards posed by the deck.

For the most advanced "island" class aircraft carrier, the engineers covered the wooden deck with a thinner steel plate, and then installed a central air-conditioning system inside the aircraft carrier, which solved the heat conduction problem of the aircraft carrier to the greatest extent, even if the deck The hot one can fry eggs, and the interior of the aircraft carrier will not be affected.

The aircraft carriers of the United Kingdom and the United States are still in the era of wooden decks.

Until they taste the bitter fruit of wooden decks, they will not start working on wooden decks.

Military personnel in southern Africa have begun to study composite coatings for aircraft carrier decks.

The reason is simple. Although the all-steel deck is strong, it also faces problems such as low friction. When used in cold regions, the surface is icy and easy to slip; and when used in tropical regions, the surface temperature is too high.

Moreover, all-steel decks are easily retested by seawater. Military personnel in southern Africa tried various varnishes, anti-corrosion paints, and topcoats, but the results were not satisfactory, so they began to try to study composite coatings.

"We have five 'Yorktowns', but you have six 'City' class aircraft carriers, four 'Island' class aircraft carriers under construction, and more than 20 'Table Mountain' class supply ships that can be converted into aircraft carriers at any time , not to mention your hundreds of light and heavy cruisers—that’s why Minister Smother, we never worry about Japan or Germany, only your southern Africa is the source of world peace.” Hull’s words made Yang Shi Mozi is ashamed, is Southern Africa already so powerful!

"You've reached out to the Persian Gulf, you've reached out to Halifax, and now you've reached out to Brazil—Secretary Smudge, to borrow a phrase often used by southern Africans, this is actually another boy who slayed a dragon and turned into a villain Dragon story!" Hull was very dissatisfied. At the end of last year, the military budget approved by the US Congress increased by 80.00% compared with last year[-].

This figure does not include the five "Yorktown" class aircraft carriers that have been launched last year.

This is also an important reason for the United Kingdom to hold a naval conference.

The 1933 fiscal budgets of various countries were actually passed at the end of 1932.

In the budget that has been passed, Japan's military spending has increased by [-]% compared with last year.

Compared with last year, Germany's military budget has increased by [-]%.

The British military budget has increased by about 70.00% compared with last year.

An arms race has virtually begun.

Southern Africa's military budget this year is about the same as last year's.

However, the situation in southern Africa is a bit special. If the United Kingdom and the United States want to increase their military budgets, they must obtain the approval of Congress.

The additional military budget in southern Africa is a matter of Rock's words.

So don't look at the fact that the military budget in southern Africa has not increased. In fact, the military budget in southern Africa has the most variable.

"No, no, Mr. Secretary of State, there is one thing you got wrong. It is not that we took the initiative to extend our hands to the Persian Gulf and Halifax, but that we took the initiative to take over the power vacuum left by the strategic contraction of the United Kingdom. It is fundamentally different from us taking the initiative to attack." Yang Smolts firmly refused to admit it, how could a peace-loving country reach out everywhere.

"And Brazil? What's going on in Brazil?" Hull refused to accept Jan Smother's explanation.

"What happened to Brazil? Southern Africa didn't join the war!" Yang Smother's words made Hull angry.

Southern Africa really deserves to be the direct descendant of the United Kingdom!

Negotiations were tough.

The United States did not hold out for long on the issue of compensation from Brazil, and quickly made concessions.

However, the Americans also have a condition, that is, the withdrawal of the United States from the Brazilian civil war must be based on the withdrawal of southern African forces from Brazil.

Here Hull refers to the umbrella company.

Yang Smozi agreed to Hull's request, but there was a condition that Umbrella's withdrawal from Brazil must be based on the cessation of trade with Japan by the United States.

So the following contradictions will mainly focus on the trade compensation to the United States.

If American companies are not allowed to do business with the Japanese, then some compensation must be given to American companies, otherwise the US government will not be able to appease American companies.

Yang Smozi had already prepared for this question.

As Yang Smozi said, commercial problems should be solved in a commercial way.

The reason for the outbreak of the Brazilian Civil War is not because of iron ore, so Iron Four Corners can make appropriate concessions to the Federation of Iron and Steel Enterprises, and then the opposition in the United States will be handed over to the Federation of American Iron and Steel Enterprises to suppress it.

After going around in a circle, the negotiations between southern Africa and the United States have returned to the original point of origin.

That is, the negotiations between Iron Four Corners and the Federation of American Iron and Steel Enterprises.

Naval conferences are ongoing as the U.S. and southern Africa negotiate.

It is impossible to dismantle the "Island" class aircraft carrier in southern Africa.

It is impossible for France to dismantle "Richelieu".

It is also impossible for Italy to dismantle "Vittorio Veneto".

Not to mention Japan, where the mission envoy was killed in an attack, and the deputy envoy was seriously injured and comatose, and has yet to wake up.

Japan simply does not admit that Yamato is being built.

As for the huge keel in the shipyard of the Kure Naval Factory, Japan claims that it is the latest luxury ocean-going yacht.

Well, the Japanese are what they say they are.

Roger Case had no choice but to take into account the opinions of all participating countries, and revised the proposal as follows: countries will no longer build new capital ships before 1943, and the capital ships here include aircraft carriers and battleships.

That is to say, those under construction can continue to be built, but new battleships and aircraft carriers are not allowed to be built.

There are also modifications to the cruiser Roger Case. In principle, before 1943, countries were not allowed to build cruisers with a capacity of more than 8000 tons, but if they believed that national security was threatened, they could build no more than [-] tons. tons of cruisers.

So this second provision is the same as if there is no such provision. What is "considering that national security is threatened"?
It means that as long as I feel unsafe, I can build a [-]-ton heavy cruiser.

To put it this way, certain countries that lack a sense of security will break through the agreement restrictions at any time.

On February 16th, the Naval Conference voted on the amended terms of Roger Case.

Southern Africa got what it wanted, and now that the "Island" class aircraft carrier can be completed, Yang Smolts has no reason to object.

The reasons for France and Italy's agreement are the same. In fact, it doesn't matter if they agree or not. Even if the restrictions on France and Italy are relaxed, France and Italy will not be able to build more battleships.

The United States must also agree. As long as southern Africa does not build new aircraft carriers, the United States will not place additional orders for "Yorktown".

The only dissatisfaction is the Japanese.

After Kaya Konobu and Yamamoto 56 were attacked, the negotiations between Japan and Germany came to a standstill. The naval meeting has been going on until now, and Japan has gained almost nothing.

"The basis for signing the second "London Naval Treaty" must be based on the abolition of the "Washington Naval Treaty" and the first "London Naval Treaty." Nagano Osamu revisited the old story, clinging to the "Washington Naval Treaty" Treaty and the London Naval Treaty.

"Objection!" Yang Shi Mozi directly raised his hand.

"No!" Roger Case was equally dissatisfied.

"No!" Hull seconded—

"—"

"!"

There is no need for the representatives of France and Italy to raise their hands. Southern Africa, the United States and the United Kingdom oppose it at the same time, and the Japanese have no way to recover.

"Okay then, since Japan has nothing to do, then we can only withdraw—" Nagano Osamu repeated his old trick, flipping the table if the request was not met.
