Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 790 Writing History

There is a fact that must be explained. In southern Africa, southern Africa is the undisputed number one power, and its importance to Europe is also increasing. However, in the peninsula, southern Africa is too far away, probably Muscat Sudan The United States believes that southern Africa, like the Muscat Sultanate, is just an ordinary protectorate of the United Kingdom and does not have much strength, so it has inadvertently become the enemy of southern Africa.

Misjudgment of the situation is fatal to a country, especially the Muscat Sultanate, a large tribe that relies on the help of the British government to maintain its rule. Living expenses depend on British government subsidies. In the past, the British government didn’t care about its wealth. After the Second Boer War, the British government itself was saving money, and its support for the Muscat Sultanate was also decreasing.

Since the beginning of this year, in response to the arms race, the UK has issued 1.5 million pounds of national debt, and now every penny counts.

Unlike the Muscat Sultanate, which only asks for nothing but can't contribute, the importance of southern Africa to the British Empire is constantly increasing, from the original source of raw materials, to the supplier of primary industrial raw materials after the Boer War, to destroyers, cruisers and aircraft , Now southern Africa has begun to sell various new equipment including aircraft carriers to the UK, so in the conflict between British companies and the Muscat Sultanate, the position of the British government is self-evident.

When the umbrella company had no relationship with Winston before, Winston was still considering regional stability and asked Rock to exercise restraint.

Now that Adan Company and Winston have interests involved, Winston's inclination is immediately obvious. In the letter to McMahon, Winston hopes that McMahon can effectively protect the interests of British companies in the peninsula region. If the letter was sent alone, its effect would be very limited, but it would be extremely deadly if it cooperated with Adan’s public relations actions. In McMahon’s report to London later, the Muscat Sultanate was described as a Instability factors affecting regional security.

There are indeed many problems in the Muscat Sultanate. The current Muscat Sultanate is on the verge of splitting. Many Muscat people are very dissatisfied with the cooperation between the Muscat government and the UK. They prefer to establish a * An independent country, completely out of the control of the British government.

The importance of religion to Britain does not need to be emphasized. The differences between the two major religions triggered wars that lasted for hundreds of years in the Middle Ages. For more than 200 years, the nine crusades of the Crusades ended in the complete failure of the Holy See. And ended, and then came the Renaissance, which objectively promoted the secularization of European countries.

For Britain, which is famous for its stubbornness and conservatism, the Muscat Sultanate is absolutely not allowed to evolve into a **** country. This is the role of Rock Lawinston on board. Neither realized it.

Then the next step will be easy. You only need to contact some people in the Muscat Sultanate and support them in realizing their ideals. Then the Muscat Sultanate will be abandoned by the British government. Ali Rashid is the best candidate.

In the later period of the Italian-Turkish War, Ali Rashid led his troops to Tripoli through the Suez Canal to participate in the Ottoman Empire's war against Italy, thus gaining the trust of the Ottoman Empire.

Although the Italian-Turkish war is over now, the Ottoman Empire's trust in Ali Rashid has not diminished but increased. During the Cairo negotiations, even the Ottoman Empire's army had stopped military operations in North Africa. Became the only rebel army still fighting Italian forces in Tripoli and Cyrenaica.

After the signing of the "Treaty of Cairo", Garib Pasha, Governor of the Ottoman Empire, appreciated Ali Rashid's bravery and loyalty during the Italian-Turkish War. Ali Rashid also became an official recognized by the Ottoman Empire. Chi ruler.

In fact, most of the Hijaz territory in the traditional sense is also in the area controlled by Ali Rashid. Garib Pasha has high hopes for Ali Rashid, and even hopes that Ali Rashid can be controlled by the British-controlled Musca The Sultanate and the protectorate of Aden launched an attack to drive the British forces out of the peninsula.

I have to say that this world is so magical. Garib Pasha also knew that Ali Rashid was supported by the Umbrella Company, but Garib Pasha still hoped that Ali Rashid could break with the Umbrella Company. Maybe the Persians were in the Ottoman Empire It is not trustworthy at all in the eyes, and capriciousness is normal operation.

This is amazing. Before the Italian-Turkish War, Ali Rashid, who was still a desert bandit, turned into the Sultan of Najd, who was supported by both the Umbrella Corporation and the Ottoman Governor of Hijaz, and had the power to expand on the peninsula. Even the government acquiesced.

"That's right, Locke, you have to gradually get used to letting others work for you. Now you are no longer an ordinary policeman in Cape Town." Winston is very happy to see Rock's change. The development of Africa has shocked many Britons, so it is necessary to slow down the pace, at least to make London safer.

Today's southern Africa is more and more like the United States before the outbreak of the War of Independence. It is also located in other continents outside Europe. Its economic strength is also getting stronger and its population is increasing rapidly. The population of southern Africa is directly immigrated from the Qing Dynasty. Now the strength of southern Africa is far from enough, but with the backing of a large Chinese population base, southern Africa has unlimited potential. If the strength of southern Africa continues to increase, it will definitely make London feel threatened.

Many people now feel threatened by southern Africa.

"Winston, think about how our predecessors pioneered and forged ahead in the age of great voyages—" Roque here refers to those predecessors who colonized and pioneered. It is really not kneeling and licking, but to increase Winston's sense of identity .

It's amazing, a Chinese from the 21st century would kneel and lick Britain in the early [-]th century?

It seems to be the other way around.

"Without the rapid expansion of the Age of Discovery, there would be no current British Empire. The reason why we can completely suppress Germany now, and build two dreadnoughts if Germany can build one, is mainly because the capital accumulated in the Age of Discovery is sufficient. It allows us to squander unscrupulously, but how long can we squander? London has already started issuing national debt, right?" Rock disagreed with Winston's statement, and in Chinese terms, this is the cub who sells his father's land and doesn't feel bad.

"We issue treasury bonds to lend money to France and Russia—" Winston brought up the question, also sullenly.

Roque had nothing to say, and could only give a thumbs up to express his appreciation for the British government's internationalist thinking that is selfless and dedicated to benefiting others.

But let Roque do this, Roque will definitely not do it.

The national debt issued by the United Kingdom bears interest. Although lending money to France and Russia must also bear interest, if it is not done well, it will lose everything.

France is not a big problem, mainly Russians.

If Rock remembers correctly, the World War had not yet ended, and the current Russian Empire would no longer exist. As a result, after the World War ended, the nascent Russian government refused to recognize the 7.5 million pounds the Russian Empire owed the UK in loans and prepared to completely renege on it.

The Russians can renege on their debts, but the UK can't. After the World War, the UK used all means including war and failed to get it back. In the end, it really lost everything.

"The arms race isn't over yet." Rock couldn't say it directly, but could only remind him vaguely.

The current British King George V is the cousin of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II, and both of them are also the cousins ​​of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, so this is a normal loan between relatives. Rock, an outsider, is really Not much to say.

Of course, Roque's meaning is also very obvious. If the current economic strength of France and Russia cannot support the arms race, then they can simply plan directly, so that the losses caused can be less.

"As long as we can win the final victory, then all the investment is worthwhile." As Secretary of the Navy, Winston is a staunch supporter of the arms race.

Even Winston, a nobleman from the Marlborough family, didn't care, and Rock certainly didn't care.

For Rock, the arms race must last as long as possible, so that southern Africa can sell more products, not only aircraft carriers, but after the outbreak of the World War, Britain was also forced to implement a rationing system. Even King George V had to lead by example and live frugally, so the world war is a vast blue ocean for southern Africa, with boundless prospects.

Winston remained in southern Africa until September [-], when Ali Rashid began his attack on the Muscat Sultanate in the name of the Sultan of Najd.

Faced with the fierce offensive of the Nejd army, the Muscat Sultanate was unable to resist and could only ask for help from the British government. It is hoped that the British government will be as good as before when the Muscat Sultanate is in danger. The Sultanate offers help.

However, the British government, which has been involved in most of its energy by the arms race, has no time to spare. There are only three British regiments in Egypt, mainly for the defense of the Suez Canal, which is crucial to the United Kingdom. They have no ability to support the Muscat Sultanate.

But the younger brother asked for help, and the boss couldn't ignore it, so the British government weighed many factors and ordered India to send reinforcements to the Muscat Sultanate to help the Muscat Sultanate resist the invasion of Najd's army.

This is another big pit. The organizational ability of the Indian colonial government is a huge tragedy. The Muscat Sultanate asked the British government for help in September, and the Indian expeditionary force was not formed until November.

By this time the Muscat Sultanate had become history.
