Overturning a warship is not very lethal, but extremely insulting.

The relationship between the United States and Russia is inherently delicate. The Americans gave Russia a large amount of supplies during the war. This did not bring Russia gratitude to the United States, because the United States itself was one of the culprits of World War II.

Southern Africa and the United Kingdom, due to their relationship with the United States, expressed vaguely on this issue and did not publicly criticize the United States.

Although Russia has not expressed its position internationally, it has long designated the United States as one of the culprits of World War II in its internal propaganda. This has led to the attitude of Russian officers and soldiers towards the United States full of hatred.

There are 1.9 million people in Russia, and 3500 million have been lost. It can be said that every family wears hemp and mourning. This kind of hatred cannot be wiped away with a little aid.

What's more, only a small part of the aid from the United States to Russia is free, and most of it not only requires payment, but also much higher than the normal price, which is clearly extortion.

Russia, which is beset internally and externally, has no choice but to be forced to accept blackmail from the Americans.

But the Russians are not easy to mess with, and there is a high probability that they will not pay honestly. What the Americans want is the interest of the Russians, and what the Russians are after is the principal of the Americans.

Not repaying the money is another story. Although the United States and Russia have not yet reached the point of publicly tearing their faces apart, since the sinking of the Russian trawler, the relationship between the United States and Russia has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

"You guys are going too far. It's enough to drive the people away. Why do you want to sink the boat?" An Qi was helpless, she couldn't stop for a day.

The deterioration of the relationship between the United States and Russia can only be done by southern Africa as a peacemaker, and other countries are not qualified.

"We were just passively defending. It was the Russian trawler that rammed our cruiser actively, and we were the victims." MacArthur was even more helpless. These words sounded like fakes.

So An Qi's expression was completely speechless.

A fishing trawler actively rams a whisker cruiser?

Could it be more reasonable?
MacArthur spread his hands, no one would believe the truth these days.

But if you think about it carefully, such a thing as a trawler hitting a cruiser is inconceivable in other countries, and the Russians may really be able to do it.

Russia is a country that cannot be measured by common sense. The army of the entire country can still turn around after being wiped out in the early stage of the war. This kind of miracle is estimated to only happen in Russia.

The key is that this kind of thing happened more than once.

"Anyway, the Russian ship has sunk, and you must properly resolve this matter." Angie hoped that MacArthur would take care of the overall situation. The Russians were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, so they couldn't be provoked.

No matter who hit who, there must be an explanation for the sinking of the ship. The Russian sailors rescued by the U.S. Navy are still detained by the Americans. I don’t know what MacArthur wants to do.

MacArthur's idea is actually not difficult to guess.

There is a saying that all the good birds are hidden in the bow, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the running dogs are cooked. After the war is over, the soldiers will retreat behind the scenes and give up the stage to the politicians who have been silent for several years.

MacArthur wanted to run for the election, and he had to establish a tough image whether facing the enemy or allies.

Of course, it can't be too much. If the conflict between the United States and Russia continues to escalate, then Washington will not be able to spare MacArthur.

"Russians can leave Hokkaido at any time as long as they want—" MacArthur's expression was tangled. It seemed that it was not the US military that was holding on to the Russian sailors, but that the Russian sailors were holding back.

The United States and Russia are allies, and there is certainly no reason to hold on to the Russians.

In fact, the Russians cannot be blamed for this.

Hokkaido is currently in the middle of winter, the weather is cold, and the sailors fall into the water. If they are not rescued in time, the consequences will be serious.

The logistics of the U.S. military is definitely much better than that of the Russian army. After rescuing the Russian sailors who fell into the water, the U.S. military treats the Russian sailors as honored guests and treats them as officers, which makes the Russian sailors very satisfied.

Therefore, the rescued Russian sailors lived happily in Hokkaido. The U.S. military had a lot of fish and meat every day, eating and drinking, and it was really fun.

The Americans want to win over and corrupt Russian sailors.

Unexpectedly, the Russian sailors not only took all the sugar-coated shells from the Americans, but also shot back the shells after eating the sugar-coated shells, which did not achieve the effect the US military wanted at all.

Since the effect of attracting corruption is not good, the Americans want to send the Russian sailors away.

The Russians can go, but the Americans rammed and sank the warship of the Russian Navy, there must be an explanation.

The Russian Navy demands compensation from the U.S. military for the first search of a warship by the Russian Navy, preferably the cruiser that sank the trawler.

Only then did MacArthur know what it means to ask God is easier than to send God away.

"Aren't you disarming? Anyway, there are so many warships to be dismantled, so it doesn't matter if you give one to the Russians." An Qi almost laughed out loud, telling you to act like that, now you're kicking the iron plate.

"Why don't you give your aircraft carrier to the Russians?" MacArthur had a bad expression on his face. Are you such a peacemaker?

An Qi really wanted to mediate, and was worried that the conflict between the US military and Russia would escalate.

You can't just listen to this statement. After An Qi asked MacArthur, she found the liaison officer stationed by the Russian military at Changi Naval Base.

"Our warship was performing normal patrol missions, but was rudely rammed by the U.S. Navy, resulting in the serious consequences of the disappearance of more than 100 naval officers and soldiers. The Americans must give us a reasonable explanation." Lieutenant Colonel Andre Lion opened his mouth. , the destroyer has only more than 100 people, and how many people can the trawler have——

Is it for paddling?

"Tell me about your requirements—" Angie had a hunch that the Russians would definitely take a bite out of the Americans this time.

"The Americans must compensate for the loss of our warships. At the same time, they must compensate the families of the sailors at the price of 100 million US dollars per sailor. At the same time, they should hand over the jurisdiction of Hokkaido to Russia—" Andre is not handsome, thinking It is quite beautiful.

Russia’s compensation standards for officers and soldiers killed during the war have not yet been issued, but veterans who are severely disabled and retired are so poor that they steal potatoes.

This is not a joke, there is a formal judgment.

It was clearly written in the judgment, because the person who stole the potatoes had nothing and was exempt from confiscation.

It can't be said that there is nothing, right?

The man who stole the potatoes was a second-degree disabled soldier who had three children aged 7 to 10 to support.

Although I don't know how much pension the disabled soldier of the second level can get every month, but if he can raise three children, this veteran should not steal potatoes.

"Do you think the Americans will agree to this plan?" Angie was curious, not knowing where the Russians had their confidence.

"Certainly not. Although Americans are rich, they are not fools—" Andre was surprisingly rational.

An Qi became more and more curious, and that's not the way to ask for such a high price.

"Americans must pay cash compensation according to this standard, otherwise we will deduct ten times the standard amount from Russia's arrears." Andrei is confident, meaning that if he does not agree to compensation according to this standard, then Russia will be ready to be an old man .

Angie gasped.

Not only are the Russians tough, but they're demanding cash compensation, which --

Russians have a criminal record for reneging on debts.

"Can it be deducted from the arrears according to this standard?" An Qi suddenly had a new worry.

Russia owes southern Africa no less than the United States.

If the Russians default on America's debts, southern African money is also at risk.

If you calculate it this way, you will have to be careful when dealing with the Russians in the future. A sailor can't support $100 million in southern Africa.

The key is that there are more than 100 sailors on a fishing trawler, which is more than the motorcycle of the third brother.

"How can this work? One yard is one yard." Andre disagreed with the withholding and insisted on cash.

Angie couldn't make up her own mind about this matter, so she went back to make an appointment with MacArthur.

After MacArthur listened to the Russian request, his eyes were dull.

To pay for a cruiser, you have to pay [-] million or [-] million U.S. dollars, and you have to hand over the jurisdiction of Hokkaido to the Russian military——

The first two are easy to talk about, but the third one, MacArthur's talk, doesn't count, and the federal government of Southern Africa needs to agree.

Like the other three islands, Hokkaido is under the joint jurisdiction of the Southern African Expeditionary Force and the US military.

"This request is too much, it's a rascal, this is a shameful extortion!" MacArthur came back to his senses, and couldn't help but curse.

"This matter has gone beyond what we can handle, and I will report it to the federal government of Southern Africa." Angel also had to remind Pretoria that the Russians were acting rogue again.

"That's why I don't like Russia. They are rude, greedy, shameless and cowardly—" MacArthur continued to vent his emotions, and Angie disagreed.

Greedy rudeness is real.

Cowardly is really not enough.

If the performance of the Russians in the world war can only be judged by cowardice.

How should the Allies on the Western Front be evaluated?

MacArthur and Angie's entanglement, Andre did not notice, he changed into a set of normal clothes after leaving Angie's office, drove the off-road vehicle equipped for Andre at the Changi Naval Base, and wandered aimlessly on the streets of Lion City .

Compared with Vladivostok, which is icy and snowy, the sunshine in the tropical lion city is just right.

Although Russia has a large population, it is still too small for a land area of ​​more than 2000 million square kilometers. Andrei has never seen so many people in his life.

Compared with Siberia, which is vast and sparsely populated, the Lion City is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and it is not too much to describe it as an inch of land.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, with the crazy attack of the Japanese army, rich people from all over Southeast Asia came to the Lion City, which made the prosperity of the Lion City even higher.

It doesn't matter how many people you have, as long as you have money.

The wealth of people in Lion City is also one of the few in the world.

Vladivostok is Russia's only partially ice-free port in Northeast Asia. There are no ghosts on the streets in winter, because many people freeze to death after drinking too much.

The winter in Russia is very long. From October to April of the following year, for half a year, Russians are forced to reduce outdoor activities and stay in warm homes without going out.

Russians generally drink too much, and the sales of alcoholic products are very high. The disabled veteran who stole potatoes above is probably not because the Russian government does not give pensions, but after receiving pensions, all of them are used to buy alcohol, which is why they are so miserable .

After coming to the Lion City, Andre’s favorite place to stay is the street. He likes the warm sunshine in the Lion City, the gentle smiles on people’s faces, and the fast-paced life here. Compared with Vladivostok, this is a warm place. city ​​of.

"Sir, come and play—" Two young girls in kimonos were trying to attract customers at the door of a bathing room.

It is the traditional skill of the Japanese government to organize employees in special industries to go overseas to earn foreign exchange by the government.

Japan suffered a crushing defeat in the war, and the wealth accumulated in the previous year, together with the spoils looted from overseas before, were robbed by the Allies in the same way.

Like Germany, Japan will then have to pay huge compensation to its allies.

The amount of compensation to be paid by Germany has been determined, a total of 330 billion rand.

The amount of compensation for Japan is 220 billion, which is slightly less than that of Germany.

Regarding this number, the Japanese interim government expressed that it was unacceptable. Let alone 220 billion rand in Japan now, 2.2 million rand is not even available.

The fundamental reason why the United States ended up participating in the war was that Japan's foreign exchange had been completely exhausted, and it was unable to trade with the United States and import strategic materials from the United States.

Regarding the figure of 220 billion, the Japanese interim government also questioned, thinking that the compensation that Japan should pay should not be so much.

Germany has to pay 330 billion mainly to Russia, because of the German invasion, which caused Russia to lose 3500 million people.

The losses Japan caused to southern Africa and the United States were far less than 3500 million rand, so the Japanese provisional government believes that Japan can only accept compensation of 10 billion rand at most.

Of course, one billion is not available. If the allies want to obtain compensation from Japan, they must first lend a sum of money to the Japanese to allow Japan to complete post-war reconstruction.

No way, the bombing of the Japanese mainland by the Allied forces in East Asia during the war was too cruel. After the war, no city with more than 1 people in Japan was complete, and each of them was carpet-bombed by the Allied forces more than once. .

According to the Japanese provisional government, Japan also lost nearly 400 million people during the war, so even if Japan caused certain losses to southern Africa and the United States, Japan has already paid for it.

Regarding the sophistry of the Japanese government, An Qi only gave a set of figures.

Japan did not cause much damage to southern Africa and the United States during the war, but it also caused more than 3500 million casualties to the Chinese.

Referring to Germany's compensation figures, Japan's 220 billion is not more, but less.

Faced with Angel's high pressure, the Japanese provisional government denied it in every possible way, and the specific amount of compensation is still under discussion.

The specific amount of compensation can be discussed slowly. The Japanese interim government urgently needs income to maintain the ruling order.

So Japanese women were once again organized by the Japanese government and went to Southeast Asia in large numbers to engage in special industries in an official form.

Andre was still very upright, and drove away without being tempted by the Japanese girl soliciting customers. (end of this chapter)
