Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2029 A Tragedy Caused by Bread
Compared with southern Africa, Britain is like an old aristocrat whose family is in decline. He is obviously weak, but he has to rely on some illusory things to maintain his so-called decency.

Probably in the eyes of the Royal Navy, the Southern African Navy is a distant relative of an upstart from the countryside. Although the economic strength is far behind, the Royal Navy still relies on the so-called delicacy of shredding mustard to make fun of the shortcomings of the Southern African Navy. within our means.

That's right, even though the Southern African Navy already has ten aircraft carriers and thousands of carrier-based aircraft, in the eyes of the Royal Navy, the combat effectiveness of the Southern African Navy is still far inferior to that of the Royal Navy.

"Why is this thing so hard? I'm afraid dogs won't eat it!" Li Ao discussed with Yang Shi Mozi sincerely, without hiding his voice.

Thumb, who was looking at Robinson Barney with a smile just now, suddenly became angry.

"Li, you have to understand that Europeans have eaten this stuff for thousands of years, and the vast majority of people are even poor enough to afford it. They don't have as rich cooking skills as you. In the end, they are still poor. That's all. To order food, you don’t need to study too much cooking technology.” Yang Smozi is so good, he knows how to hurt the British.

Sir Charles Forbes felt that the fried fish in his hand was going bad in an instant.

Dudley Pound opened his mouth, but said nothing.

What can I say, my own mistakes come first, and I can't blame others for saying bad things.

If this is replaced by Indians, then most Indians will bear it.

Southern Africans can't bear it. Respect is mutual. If the Royal Navy doesn't respect others, don't expect to be respected by others.

So the next day's visit was naturally cancelled, and "Madagascar" even put away the gangway directly, pretending to leave Portsmouth at any time, which surprised Sir Charles Forbes.

In his view, the southern African navy was overreacting, a not-so-funny joke, but one that suited the poor British sense of humor.

"My lord, this is not a joke, the 'Nelson' salute may have been a mistake, the bread at the dinner must have been intentional - I don't know who arranged it, I can only say it was a very stupid act, which will seriously affect Going to the relationship between the South African Navy and the Royal Navy, what makes me curious is, is there any benefit to the Royal Navy by doing this? You are humiliating the future senior commander of the South African Navy, and the main design of the 'island' class aircraft carrier Those—" Yang Smozi really had nothing to say, after the banquet yesterday, Li Ao had already reported the relevant situation to the Atlantic Fleet Command, and now he is waiting for further instructions from the headquarters.

"The bread was indeed an accident. We stalled on the pier for too long. The bread sat too long. Then we baked another batch in an emergency. The kitchen got the wrong one. Believe it or not, it's as simple as that ’” Sir Charles Forbes did not yet realize how much this matter would affect.

"I can accept this explanation—" Yang Smother smiled sarcastically, and this explanation was a bit perfunctory: "—but do you think the Southern African Federal Government can accept this explanation?"

Sir Charles Forbes froze, and blurted out: "What does this have to do with the federal government of Southern Africa?"

Probably in the concept of Sir Charles Forbes, this kind of trivial matter is insignificant at all. Even if the commanders of the "Madagascar" feel a little wronged, they should focus on the overall situation and not make this matter a big deal.

It's a pity that Sir Charles Forbes ignored it. In the eyes of southern Africans, diplomacy is no small matter. It doesn't matter if the commander of the "Madagascar" is wronged, but "Madagascar" is in Portsmouth, representing the federal government of southern Africa. Li Ao They didn't flip the table at that time, and they were already putting the overall situation first.

As for "the overall situation is the most important thing" in another sense, if Sir Charles Forbes dared to say that, Li Ao would probably reply: Fuck your mother's overall situation.

The other side is already deliberately humiliating you, you still put the overall situation first, you really have an overall perspective!
Han Xin could see the big picture enough, he could bear the humiliation of his crotch, but he was killed by a group of women in Changle Palace, and all relatives of the whole family were killed.

"Do you think the Federal Government of Southern Africa will allow the Southern African Navy to be insulted overseas like this?" Yang Smotz raised the case, and replaced it with the Royal Navy's visit to Halifax, which was met by the Atlantic Fleet. Can the Royal Navy bear it?
Most of them are intolerable.

"This is not an insult, Minister Smudge, don't say it so seriously." Charles Forbes was flustered. If this matter got serious, he, the commander of the Home Fleet, the commander of the Portsmouth Naval Station, might have to retire.

"Is it an insult? I don't want to say that if the Atlantic Fleet does not get a reasonable explanation, then the Southern African Navy may suspend all cooperative relations with the Royal Navy." Yang Smozi sneered, the Royal Navy may not understand the situation , the British government must be well aware of the importance of southern Africa to the British Empire.

At the time when Yang Smolzy gave the ultimatum, at No. [-] Downing Street, London, Neville was listening to the report from the Foreign Secretary Austin.

"—That's the way it is, some idiots in the mainland fleet, or some idiots, wanted to dismantle the 'Madagascar', but they messed up. I have received a report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa, requesting We give a reasonable explanation." Austin has grown old, he is now 70 years old, and he is still serving the United Kingdom.

"What do those idiots want to do? Don't they know that we still need the help of the Southern African Navy to deal with the increasingly severe international pressure?" Neville cursed. The Royal Navy was also spoiled and did not care about things. Never think about the consequences.

"Of course they know, but what makes them feel more uncomfortable is 'Madagascar', so some people hope that our relationship with southern Africa will deteriorate, so that they can get more military funds to build new warships." Winston Haven't set off yet, waiting for Neyang Smozi to go to southern Africa together.

Both Neville and Austin frowned, and this explanation now seems the most reasonable.

Otherwise, there is no reason for the Royal Navy to do this. It can't be to satisfy someone's inner bad taste, just make such a big joke.

"Build a warship, build a warship, change 'Elizabeth' into that shit, I haven't held some people accountable yet—" Neville roared wildly, he was also very aggrieved as the prime minister, he had no imagination at all The high-spirited and high-spirited, everywhere restrained.

"Elizabeth" changed to "Royal Ark" is getting more and more backward, and has become a popular joke in the UK to mock the Royal Navy.

After this incident happened, the creative enthusiasm of the British people was fully stimulated, and various jokes came into being. The newspapers even publicly published cartoons mocking the Royal Navy.

When "Madagascar" arrived in Saint-Roch, "The Times" published a comparative article about "Madagascar" and "Royal Ark". The performance of "Royal Ark" was completely behind, and the cost was actually cheaper than "Madagascar". It is more expensive and the construction speed is slower, which is really unacceptable to the British.

In this context, the Royal Navy really needs to regain some face.

It's a pity that the Royal Navy chose the wrong way. Not only did it fail to save face, but it further exposed the meanness and ignorance of some people, which made Neville heartbroken.

Counting on such a Royal Navy, how can the safety of the British Empire be guaranteed?
"The most important issue now is how to give a reasonable explanation to the Federal Government of Southern Africa. I suggest replacing the commanders of the Royal Navy on a large scale. Our current commanders——haha——" Winston also sneered, In World War I, the Royal Navy actually did not perform well. It changed command three times in the Dardanelles. In the end, Field Marshal Rock led the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to win the Battle of the Dardanelles.

It's outrageous!
"Who is qualified to take over as the commander of the local large fleet?" Neville finally calmed down, and anger did not help solve the problem.

"Andrew, General Andrew Cunningham, he is a suitable candidate. He is young, energetic, and full of drive. The key is that General Andrew Cunningham has a pragmatic spirit that the Royal Navy lacks." Winston offered to recommend , Andrew Cunningham is indeed one of the few outstanding admirals in Britain in recent years.

"I think Marshal Roger Keyes is more suitable. He is equally energetic and experienced. The current Royal Navy needs such a stable commander." Austin also has a suitable candidate. Roger Keyes from the qualifications In terms of appearance, it is indeed more suitable than Andrew Cunningham.

"Marshal Roger Keyes is old, and he is seeking a seat in the House of Commons. If he becomes the commander of the mainland fleet, nothing will change." Winston disagreed. Roger Keith is also responsible for the decommissioning of the commander of the Tsmouth Naval Station, and the reduction of the local fleet to today's situation.

"Call them separately and let them come to London. I will talk to them in person." Neville will make a decision after talking with Andrew Cunningham and Roger Keith separately.

As for Sir Charles Forbes, he needed to go to London for medical treatment due to physical reasons. The positions of Commander of the Local Grand Fleet and Portsmouth Naval Station were temporarily held by the Second Lord of the Navy Dudley Pound.

For this result, Rock is basically satisfied. Although the local fleet has not been cleaned up, it is enough to arouse the vigilance of some people.

But to some people, the British government is obviously overkill, just a piece of bread, as for it!
