Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2312 The British will never surrender until the last drop of Indian blood is shed

No matter how large a country is, it will surely perish if it is warlike. This is a valuable experience left by our ancestors.

A long history has such benefits. Too many things have happened in the past thousands of years. Many things have already happened in history.

Southern Africa gained a lot of benefits from the two world wars. The Americans were so jealous that they wanted a share of the pie but couldn’t find the right way. Compared with the United States, European countries trust southern Africa more. The United States can only choose Germany and Japan. And now the Russian wager.

Britain and France's trust in southern Africa is not easy to obtain. In the last world war, southern Africa organized an expeditionary force of one million to go to Europe to participate in the war, aiding the Allies regardless of cost, and uniting Britain and France to defeat Germany. This is the basis of trust.

In this World War, southern Africa did not join the war for the first time, which has a lot to do with the appeasement policy of Britain and France before the war.

Neither the British nor the French are worried about Germany's expansion, and southern Africa will naturally not stand up for Austria and Poland.

After France stopped resisting, Southern Africa joined the war and once again became the savior of European countries.

When Southern Africa entered the war, the United States sold war materials to Germany and Japan for trade profits.

In this case, it is impossible for Americans to gain the trust of European countries.

Winston's trip to the United States fully proved this point.

Winston's trip to southern Africa is not going well, which makes Winston very angry.

What made Winston even more angry was that the demands made by the United States were even more egregious than in Southern Africa.

The United States can increase aid to the United Kingdom, but requires the United Kingdom to open the Commonwealth to the United States, and at the same time allow the United States to participate in the management of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. It is also hoped that the United Kingdom will send its gold reserves to the United States, and it is also hoped that the United Kingdom will use the United States as a government in exile. first choice.

These demands were too great, and Winston dared not agree to any of them.

If the United Kingdom opens the Commonwealth to the United States, then the Commonwealth will simply disintegrate. The influx of southern African goods has seriously affected the interests of the British Empire. If American goods flood in again, the market share of British companies will be completely divided.

Britain can allow southern Africa to be independent, voluntarily give up Halifax, and even sell the Changi Naval Base to southern Africa, but it will never give up the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal.

The Mediterranean is the bottom line of the United Kingdom. It must be guaranteed. It is clearly an outside country, but it ignores the opposition of France and Italy and declares that it has core interests in the Mediterranean. The Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal control the exports of the Mediterranean. The Americans want to participate in the management It's a dream.

Rock and Winston still have a tacit understanding.

The United Kingdom was able to defend the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, largely relying on the help of southern Africa. The course of the North African campaign is enough to prove that without the assistance of southern Africa, the United Kingdom may have suffered a complete defeat in North Africa.

Even so, Roque had no idea of ​​the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal.

It's not that I don't want to, but it's not the time yet. The British Empire is now a centipede that is dead but not stiff, and can still struggle for more than ten years. Southern Africa is still unable to turn its face against the United Kingdom.

As for Britain's gold reserves, a large part of them has now been sent to southern Africa as loan collateral. If the Americans want gold, they have to ask whether the southern Africans agree.

It has already been mortgaged once, and it cannot be mortgaged again. There is no shortage of gold in southern Africa, but not a single gram is superfluous.

The above is not without room for discussion. What really made Winston angry was the government-in-exile.

When the Great Britain Air War was at its most tense, Winston never considered giving up the British mainland and going abroad to form a government-in-exile.

Winston didn't say anything, but he was actually prepared. If he really lost the Great Britain Air Battle and couldn't stop the German invasion, forming a government-in-exile would be the last option.

Even if it is to be formed, the United Kingdom will not choose the United States or southern Africa. Canada or Australia are better choices. These two are still members of the Commonwealth of Nations.

However, the trip to the United States was not fruitless. When Winston was in the United States, he was surprised to find that the penetration of southern African capital into the United States had reached an astonishing level. Many large companies in the United States have shares in southern African capital, such as Ford, DuPont, Rockefeller Petroleum, as well as some large companies established in recent years, all have the shadow of southern African capital behind them.

This situation is very serious. Every dollar earned by an American company must be distributed to the southern African capital behind it. Whether the Americans become the final winner or the southern African is the only one, the southern African capital is the ultimate victory. By.

In this regard, Goldman Sachs and Citibank are also represented.

The first content of Roosevelt's New Deal is to rectify the banking and financial industry, order the banking industry to suspend operations for rectification, and gradually restore bank credit.

Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are the first banks in the US to reopen.

Goldman Sachs received capital injection from Rand Bank, and Citibank is backed by the Rhodes family. These two banks developed rapidly after the Great Depression, and their business volume was even higher. The only one in the United States that can compete with Goldman Sachs and Citibank is Down the Morgan family.

The life of the Morgan family has not been easy in recent years. The U.S. Steel Corporation was forced to succumb to the Fawalt Steel Group. The market share of the United States has declined year by year in recent years.

Communication companies in southern Africa are cooperating with scientific research institutions to develop communication satellites that can be used for communication relay. Once this work is completed, AT&T will be completely behind.

Alvin was very concerned about Winston's trip to the United States. While Winston was still in Australia, Brad's office began to be specially arranged.

Every move of Winston during his stay in the United States was under the control of Brad's office. Where Winston went every day, who he met, and even the breakfast menu would appear on Alvin's desk the next day.

Alvin was not satisfied with this, because he didn't know the content of the conversation between Winston and the American dignitaries. The agents in Brad's office were not yet so powerful.

After staying in the United States for a week, Winston went to Canada, which was the last stop of Winston's round-the-world tour.

Instead of going to Ottawa, Winston went straight to Halifax, wanting to ascertain the extent of Canada's dependence on southern Africa.

After the end of the Second Boer War, Britain began to shrink strategically. In 1905, the British army withdrew from Halifax, and Canada lost the protection of the British army.

Canada is sparsely populated and has no ability to protect itself.

The Americans noticed the weakening of the British Empire and tried to increase their influence on Canada. Canada therefore asked for help from southern Africa, which was still in the Commonwealth at that time, and the southern African military took advantage of the opportunity to use Halifax as one of the home ports of the Atlantic Fleet. .

Thirty years have passed since Southern African troops entered Halifax.

Southern Africa has built a large-scale construction project in Halifax, surrounding the military port and air force base, and building Halifax into a huge city. About 30 people live here, of which more than 10 are family members of the southern African garrison.

In 1919, the Canadian government signed an agreement with Southern Africa to lease the land around Halifax to Southern Africa, and the area of ​​Halifax was expanded by five times.

In 1930, Halifax expanded again to include two nearby islands.

These two timings were chosen just right. The first time was just after the end of the World War, and the second time was during the economic crisis. The British government was too busy to provide Canada with more protection. Canada had to deepen its ties with southern Africa to ensure not threatened by the United States.

"The arrival of the Atlantic Fleet has brought a brand new Halifax, and the whole of Nova Scotia has benefited from it. With the protection of the Atlantic Fleet in Southern Africa, we can focus more on improving economic construction. In terms of providing a better life for Canadians, it can also provide more help for the United Kingdom.” Canadian Prime Minister William King meant a lot, and Winston could hear the irony from William King’s words.

The abandonment of Canada by the British Empire is not the end of the day for Canada. Southern Africa can provide Canada with better protection. Not only does it not require Canada to bear military expenses, but it can also increase taxes for the Canadian government. This mile and mile shows the United Kingdom. The incompetence of the suzerain.

The British Empire, which was once extremely powerful, has been governed by you people to the point where it is today, don't you blush?
Ashamed?
Winston's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, but he had nothing to say.

Winston was a former Secretary of the Navy, so he naturally knew something about Halifax, a once important naval base.

It's just a little bit of understanding, not familiarity. Winston had only seen Halifax in photographs before.

The Halifax in front of you is very different from the Halifax in the photo.

The low and dilapidated naval base has disappeared without a trace. After the Atlantic Fleet settled in Halifax, a new naval base was built on the basis of the previous base, with more advanced facilities, better services, and a larger scale.

After 1919, the naval base was expanded again, and a new pier was built next to it to dock civilian ships.

In the following ten years, Halifax developed rapidly and the city continued to expand. The base was surrounded by many high-rise buildings, which brought a lot of trouble to the operation of the base. The reason for Fax's relocation was to sign a new lease agreement with the Canadian government.

Now Halifax has completely turned into a bustling city. After the naval base was moved, the anchorage of the warships was also transferred to nearby islands. The Halifax City Government transformed the former naval base into a sea paradise. Only three decommissioned warships are preserved and transformed into memorial halls and museums.

After the outbreak of World War II, the battleship "West Africa" ​​of the Atlantic Fleet was transferred to the Indian Ocean Fleet. The battleship "Congo" is expected to be decommissioned after the war and must be transformed into a museum. Halifax is competing with Walvis Bay. I hope Can keep the Congo in Halifax.

Walvis Bay is also one of the home ports of the Atlantic Fleet, and is also eligible for the "Congo".

"After the war is over, Canada can gain a greater degree of autonomy. At that time, the United Kingdom may bring Canada back into the defense circle. The United Kingdom has always regarded Canada as the most important component." Winston There are only so many chips left now.

Like Australia, Canada also contributed little in this World War.

The Australians did not work hard, and the reason can also be attributed to the threat of war on the mainland of Australia. There is no threat of war on the mainland of Canada. German submarines are not capable of breaking through the joint blockade of the Royal Navy and the Allied fleet.

At the beginning of the war, two German submarines broke through the Royal Navy's blockade and entered the Atlantic Ocean, and several Canadian merchant ships were attacked and sunk by German submarines.

The two submarines were quickly sunk by the light cruisers of the Atlantic Fleet. Since then, the Royal Navy has stepped up inspections, and the Atlantic Fleet has also focused on anti-submarine. After entering 1941, German submarines have never appeared in the coastal waters of Canada. Pass.

Winston knew that Canadians were very dissatisfied with London. In the last World War, the Canadian government used Canadians' refusal to serve in the military as an excuse, and its aid to Britain was far less than that of Australia.

This time was the same. After the outbreak of the European War, Canada only sent four divisions to the United Kingdom to assist in the defense. Since then, no Canadian troops have arrived in the United Kingdom.

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister, Canada has already been abandoned by the United Kingdom once, and we still remember the pain of being abandoned, and we don't want to feel it again." William King directly refused, and was reintroduced into the defense circle, and he may also -

No, Canada is now within the defensive circle of Southern Africa and does not need the protection of the Royal Navy.

The Royal Navy can't even protect the British mainland, and the powerful fleet in the Great Britain Air Battle is useless at all. If Canada pins its hopes on the Royal Navy, it may die without knowing how it will die.

Winston looked at William King with angry eyes.

William King's eyes were firm, determined not to back down.

"Let's save this issue for the Empire meeting at the end of the year." Winston's heart was bleeding, his heart was broken, and it was difficult to lead the team.

At the Imperial Conference at the end of the year, we still don't know what will happen.

Australia is now clearly embracing Southern Africa's thigh.

Canada is also at odds with the British Empire. Needless to say, those small countries, they are all fools, and they will help whoever wins.

It seems that the most loyal country is actually India!

India -

Winston's attitude towards India has never wavered. During the last World War, when India's food production decreased, Britain transferred more Indian food to the British mainland, which led to a famine in India and 2000 million deaths.

When the air battle in Britain was at its most tense, Winston said while chatting with his friends: The British will never surrender until the last drop of Indian blood is shed.
