Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2409 Recreating an Ottoman
On the first day Winston saw Rock, he didn't chat with Rock about the unpleasant war and national relations, but purely recalled the past, which made Rock slightly moved.

Winston's recent days are actually very difficult. He is not in good health and is a patient.

The British Empire under his leadership is a more serious "sickness". Not only has it lost its leadership over the world, but its authority in the Commonwealth has also disappeared.

According to British tradition, since the British Empire has fallen to where it is today, someone must be responsible for it.

Obviously, as Prime Minister Winston became the best scapegoat.

Now that the war is not over, many people in the UK have to rely on Winston's leadership to maintain the British Empire.

When the war is over and the greatest threat disappears, Winston may have to face the situation of mob siege.

This can also explain why Winston misses his life as a governor in southern Africa.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.

In the evening Winston entertained Rock at the British embassy.

Winston was accompanied only by British Foreign Secretary Eden, and Rock only by Jan Smudge.

Aiden was born into a conservative aristocratic family in West Auckland, County Durham. He had an older brother and a younger brother, both killed in the Battle of Jutland during the First World War.

This guy is a language genius, studied Arabic and Persian in college, and is also fluent in Russian, French, and German.

In 1926, during Austin Chamberlain's tenure as Foreign Secretary, Aiden accompanied Austin to Geneva for a meeting of the Executive Council of the League of Nations as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Oster, and later as Lord Seal in the cabinet of Stan Lee Baldwin , and was appointed as the British representative to the League of Nations.

Before becoming foreign secretary, Eden served as a member of the Defense Committee and Secretary of State for War respectively, and his resume has many similarities with Yang Smotz.

Jan Smudge, like Rock, is now a British Field Marshal.

After serving as the Governor of Southern Africa, Winston's current eating habits are largely influenced by Southern Africa. This time, when he came to Persia, the chef brought by Winston was very good at making Chinese food. The topic of the dinner was from the eating habits of various countries. start.

"Although I don't like the French, I have to admit that the French are still very talented in cooking." Winston did not forget to belittle the French when he praised the French food, which is the habit of the British.

"The only talent left by the French is cooking and surrendering with hands raised." Aiden was worried about France's surrender. If the French insisted on fighting, Britain would not be reduced to where it is today.

But pinning Britain's victory on France, Eden didn't even notice his mistake.

"President de Gaulle is good. He represents the tough French." Roque supported de Gaulle. France's surrender is not just a French problem, Britain is also responsible.

As France's most powerful ally, Britain has never really gone all out, and Rock knows this all too well.

After the outbreak of the war, although Roque didn't know whether Neville had issued a secret order to the British commander-in-chief similar to that given by Kitchener to Roque, judging from the combat process of the British army, it was obvious that the British army was not ready to fight Germany to the end. Prepare.

When the battle was unfavorable, the British army did not fight the German army to the death, but slipped back to the British mainland with oil on their feet, and even engulfed part of the French army, directly abandoning their allies.

This is the truth about the Dunkirk evacuation.

It cannot be said that France gave up resistance directly because of the Dunkirk retreat.

At least part of the reason for this.

"Gao Lao is a conspiracy from Paris. It is a dark chess game prepared by that old fox Pétain for the future. We cannot let the French succeed." Winston was decisive. Britain already had a stronger ally and no longer needed the French. .

De Gaulle must have never imagined that his height could also be the reason why Winston hated him.

As for Petain, Rock and Winston knew him well enough to say nothing.

"France is still an important force that determines the continent of Europe. We should try our best to win the support of France. At least France is more reliable than Italy." Jan Smolts can also comment positively on France. After this battle, the French should be able to face reality .

For all countries, World War II was a watershed moment.

In the past, everyone refused to accept anyone. World War II was like a sea tide. Only after the tide ebbs did you know who was swimming naked.

France was the first to reveal its underpants.

Japan is second.

It's hard to say who will be next.

"Didn't the French ask to attend this meeting? I thought he would come with you." Winston was surprised. Based on his knowledge of De Gaulle, De Gaulle should not be absent from this meeting.

Rock smiled and said nothing, even if De Gaulle wanted to come, would you let him come?

Now that the strength of France is not as good as before, de Gaulle will not come to join in the fun.

What is certain is that even if de Gaulle came to Tehran, he would not get the respect he deserves. After all, only southern Africa now recognizes Free France. Both Britain and the United States believe that Vichy France is French orthodoxy.

This is based on post-war interest distribution considerations.

If it is determined that Vichy France is orthodox, then France is a defeated country after the war and is not eligible to participate in the distribution of benefits.

Recognizing Free France is tantamount to recognizing France's future international status.

Still the same sentence, the cake is so big, if others eat more, I have to eat less.

"The Russians announced yesterday that they had wiped out 70 Germans. How true is this situation?" Yang Smozi didn't want internal friction, and cared more about the Russian battlefield.

In December last year, the Russian army launched a new round of counter-offensive, dispatching three front armies in the direction of St. Petersburg, and began a large-scale counter-offensive against the German army.

Russia has invested 125 million people, and the German "Northern" Army Group has 48 divisions with a total of 74.1 people.

After a month of fierce fighting, the German army was forced to retreat. Russia claimed to have wiped out 70 Germans and won a complete victory.

"Just listen to the Russian battle report. Don't take it seriously. If the Russians can annihilate 7 Germans, then they can celebrate their victory." Winston's temper became more irritable as he got older, and he disliked everyone.

However, the Russian battle reports are really outrageous. If you win, you win. There is no need to exaggerate the facts. The German army has a total of 74 people, and 70 people were wiped out in one battle. If the Germans are so easy to fight, why is the battle line still in Russia? .

Winston was right, 7 was a more reliable figure.

"After this battle, how many people are left in Russia?" Rock read the battle report, and his focus was different from Winston's.

Winston is more concerned about how much the Germans have lost and how much the Russians have lost. One goes down and the other goes up, and the British win or lose.

Rock is concerned with Russia's war potential.

Although the Russians have never disclosed how many people Russia has lost since the outbreak of the war.

Southern Africa has used multiple methods to judge that Russia has actually lost more than 2000 million people since the outbreak of the war.

This number is unacceptable in most countries today.

including Southern Africa.

It is said that Russia has suffered such a large loss, and the country should have collapsed long ago.

However, not only did Russia not collapse, but it fought more and more troops. On the front line of St. Petersburg alone, Russia can easily dispatch 125 million people.

You must know that St. Petersburg is not yet Russia's main battlefield. Russia's main battlefield is still on the coast of the Black Sea.

"The performance of our northern cousins ​​is indeed surprising, but this is not surprising. Russians have a unique temperament, always able to turn the corner, fearless, as you say, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes." Winston's remark made fun of both southern Africa and Russia.

Rock is not mad, Southern Africa is the one with the shoes.

"Are you ready to deal with this behemoth?" Rock said, causing Winston and Aiden to change their faces at the same time.

Russia, the northern giant, no matter whether European countries like him or not, he is watching coldly there, which makes people shudder.

Germany swept across Europe.

Regardless of how difficult the process was, Russia finally defeated Germany and became the real savior of Europe.

For European countries, this is tantamount to rejecting tigers at the front door and entering wolves in the backyard. It is easy to ask God to send God away.

"This is why we came to Tehran. Russia has fully integrated into our world, and we must accept this reality." Winston was in a heavy heart, and Rock felt that just hearing the name of Russia made Winston a little breathless I can't breathe.

Although Russia in the past was known as the "European Gendarmerie" and "Steam Roller", in fact, European countries did not have a high evaluation of Russia, and it was even better than the "Sick Man of Europe" Osman.

The First World War directly led to the demise of the Russian Empire, and Russia has since been excluded from "civilized society".

Now that Russia has returned to mainstream society as a "savior", the shock it has brought to European countries, especially the United Kingdom, is beyond the comprehension of southern Africans in the southern hemisphere.

"Then can you ask the Russians for money?" Aiden was whimsical, wanting the Russians to pay back the money, which is as difficult as getting the British to give up the Suez Canal.

"Don't even think about it, the Russians will be fine this time." Winston was pessimistic, Russia didn't care about Lao Lai's status at all.

Yang Smother glanced at Rock, full of worry.

Southern Africa has now replaced Britain as Russia's largest creditor.

"No, the Russians will pay back the money. This is their due commitment as a normal country to integrate into the international community." Rock is not worried, there are plenty of ways to deal with the Russians.

Roque will certainly not impose financial sanctions on Russia like some countries, and he does not have the conditions to implement financial sanctions now.

For Russia, he wants to take advantage of his eagerness to jump out of the North Pole and gain recognition from the international community, and accept Russia as a part of the international community.

This has a premise that ignores and downplays Russia's national model.

"What if the Russians renege on their debts?" Aiden was terrified.

"Then continue to block Russia in the Arctic Circle and let him fend for himself." In fact, Roque has no choice but to resort to military means?
Look at Napoleon, look at the moustache, and you'll understand how risky it is to fight Russia.

Since you can't fight, you have to coax it. After all, Russia now has millions, maybe tens of millions of experienced soldiers, and a large number of powerful military weapons supported by the state and society. Southern Africa and the United States don't matter. Europe just Lived through two world wars and couldn't afford a third.

Southern Africa has many similarities with Russia in organizing production.

So Roque is too aware of how much military potential a country like Russia can unleash once it is fully militarized.

Among other things, Russia now has more than 5000 tanks, more than southern Africa.

Before the war broke out, Russia had more than 2 tanks.

"The Russians may make some excessive demands, and we must be mentally prepared." Winston reminded Rock that a bearded man is by no means easy to get along with.

"As long as it is reasonable, we can consider it." Yang Smozi was more optimistic.

"If Russia asks for access to the Black Sea, is this request reasonable?" Aiden inadvertently stabbed him in the back.

Now it was Rock and Jan Smudge's turn to suffer.

Russia is too far away from southern Africa and cannot reach southern Africa. This is where Rock and Yang Smother's confidence lies.

The outlet of the Black Sea is apparently still under the trusteeship of the League of Nations and is under the actual control of southern Africa.

In case the bearded man made a request for the outlet of the Black Sea at tomorrow's meeting, it would be difficult for Rock to refuse.

After all, Russia has paid enough in the war and should get enough benefits.

"We support Russia's reasonable request, but the specific situation has to be discussed between Russia and the Ottomans." Rock is a Tai Chi national player, so it depends on how you understand it.

Reasonable demands are of course supported, but there is a premise that the legitimate interests of other countries cannot be damaged.

For example, if Russia asks to station troops in Germany after the war.

Rock would agree without hesitation, the Russians deserved it.

But if it is the mouth of the Black Sea——

It depends on the attitude of the local people. After all, the local people did not participate in the war, and their interests should not be exchanged.

"Ottoman doesn't exist anymore." Winston's expression was clearly smirking, waiting to see Rock's joke.

It's not malicious, it's like a joke between friends.

"Then make another Ottoman—" Rock has a way, the League of Nations is almost gone, and the trusteeship is naturally untenable.

Therefore, if we want long-term stability, we still have to start from the root.

But make another one!
Winston's expression became tangled again, and he looked at Roque with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Once upon a time, the British Empire was the one country that said nothing.

Now it is replaced by southern Africa covering the sky with one hand, and the Black Sea outlet that the Russians never forget, was decided by Rock.

To ask Winston to do it, Winston probably couldn't do it.

It would be too easy to switch to Southern Africa. There are even more than one candidate. Rock can choose the one that best suits the interests of Southern Africa to recreate Ottoman.
