According to the tradition that only battleships of the same level can sink battleships, Southern Africa cannot sink "Nagato" and "Mutsu".
What's more, the Japanese combined fleet not only has "Nagato" and "Mutsu", but also has 8 other battleships such as "Hyuuga", "Yamashiro", "Kirishima", and "Kingang". The tonnage of the battleships alone reaches 301,320 tons.
, the paper data far exceeds the Southern African Navy with only four battleships and four aircraft carriers.
It's just paper data. All battleships of the Japanese Navy, including the "Nagato" and "Mutsu", have not been modernized yet.
This also means that the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese Navy's battleships is still in factory condition. If there is a fight, these battleships with tens of thousands of tons at every turn will have no power to fight back against the carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes of the Southern African Navy.
The reason why Abramovich ignored the three points was the fierce competition between the Star Award and the Nobel Prize.
The Nobel Prize review team is considering awarding the 1925 Nobel Prize in Medicine to Umetaro Suzuki, and the Star Prize hosted by Nyasaland University is also preparing to award the 1925 Medicine Prize to Christian Ekman.
This is not just a question of whose contribution is greater, nor is it just a question of which award has greater influence. What is reflected behind the award is the game between southern Africa and the old continent.
The establishment of the Nyasaland Star Award will be of great help to Nyasaland University and even southern Africa in recruiting talents. Once awarded, it means that the winner will gain both fame and wealth. In terms of award evaluation, Nyasaland University will definitely be more
Favoring southern Africans, the Star Award has become a golden sign for Nyasaland University to recruit talents.
Of course, for Umetaro Suzuki, this was an unforeseen disaster, so the Japanese Ambassador to Southern Africa Koki Hirota was baffled when he received the note from Yang Smuts. He did not think that Umetaro Suzuki had stolen Christian Ekman's
research results, but the note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa cannot be ignored.
As a member of the British Commonwealth, Southern Africa has perfectly inherited the rogueness and tyranny of the British Empire. Notes from other countries may be just for show, to appease national sentiments, and notes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa usually have back-ups.
Hirota even suspected that just when he received the note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa, a Japanese merchant ship might have been seized by the Southern African Navy in some corner of the Indian Ocean.
This is not without precedent. Southern Africa is also full of misdeeds in this regard. When Rock was counterinsurgency in Somalia, in order to raise military expenditures, the newly born Southern African Navy once detained Japanese merchant ships in the Red Sea for no reason. That incident also went unsolved.
.
Hirota Koki is an outstanding diplomat who once worked in the Japanese embassy in Britain and the United States. He has served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Intelligence Department, the director of the European and American Bureau, and the Japanese ambassador to the Netherlands. Considering the increasingly frequent trade exchanges between Japan and southern Africa,
The resources of southern Africa are becoming more and more important to Japan. After the Imperial Conference this year, Hirota Koki served as Japan's ambassador to southern Africa.
"Does Suzuki-kun's research have anything to do with Christian Ekman?" Hirota Koki also asked first if there is, and then why.
"There is a certain relationship, but it is definitely not plagiarism. Suzuki-kun continued his research based on Christian Ekman's research and then extracted vitamin B1. This is normal in the scientific community." Deputy Ambassador Arita Hachiro looked cautious.
The crux of the matter is not the facts, but what the Southern African federal government thinks.
How else can I watch it?
To put it simply, I don’t want what you think, I want what I think.
Hachiro Arita once studied at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. After graduation, he served as the First Secretary of the Embassy in Washington. Last year, he came to Southern Africa and served as the counselor of the Japanese Embassy in Port Edward. He participated in the Washington Conference as a plenipotentiary committee member.
It was the Washington Conference that just concluded, where the "Pact Against War" was signed.
"Then this is a completely unreasonable request. Contact Minister Yang Smuts for me. I want to talk to him face to face-" Hirota Koki tried to solve the problem through diplomatic channels. For Hirota Koki, Japan's interests are also
Not to be trampled upon.
"I'm afraid it's difficult. The federal government of Southern Africa has always been inexplicably hostile to our Japanese Empire. Especially after the Marquis of Nyasaland came to power, this hostility has become more and more obvious. This time it is clearly the southern Africans who are deliberately stirring up trouble.
They will not give up easily." Hachiro Arita has worked in Europe and the United States for a long time and knows the Anglo-Saxons very well.
"Personal hatred should not override the interests of the country." Hirota Hirota doesn't know enough about the Anglo-Saxons.
For Easterners, it is almost common sense that personal hatred should not override national interests.
This is not the case for the British, who believe that "when a person's ability to exercise his right to appeal fairly and effectively conflicts with national security, individual rights can override the needs of national security."
"Mr. Ambassador, the Southern African Navy seized one of our merchant ships in the Strait of Malacca." The embassy's military attaché, Takano Isoroku, hurriedly reported.
Takano Isoroku is Yamamoto Isoroku. The name Yamamoto Isoroku is not because he is the fifty-sixth child in the family, but because when Yamamoto Isoroku was born, Yamamoto Isoroku’s father was already fifty-six.
Years old, hence the name.
Yamamoto Isoroku participated in the Russo-Japanese War, during which the index finger and middle finger of his left hand were blown off, leaving him with a lifelong disability. Therefore, Yamamoto Isoroku was nicknamed "Eighty Cent".
This nickname is said to come from the fact that at that time, Japanese geishas were charged according to the number of fingers to trim their nails, which was 1 cent per finger, which was exactly 1 yuan for normal people. Yamamoto was called "Eight Cents" because he had two nails missing.
This nickname is said to have appeared among geishas, which shows Yamamoto Isoroku's preference for that kind of place.
In another time and space, Yamamoto Isoroku served as the naval attache of the Japanese Embassy in the United States in 1925 because of the strength of the U.S. Navy.
In this time and space, Yamamoto Isoroku was more interested in the air force in Southern Africa, so he served as the attaché of the Japanese Embassy in Southern Africa.
"I understand, please help me contact Minister Smuts first -" Hirota Hiroshi was not surprised that Japanese merchant ships traveling to and from Europe had to pass through the Strait of Malacca. After the British government sold the Changi Naval Base to the Southern African Navy, the Southern African Navy
It is not easy for Africa to seize Japanese merchant ships.
The next day, Hirota Koki arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa is located on the bustling Apis River, not far away from the Burj Al Arab Hotel named by Stoudemire. It is surrounded by high-rise buildings and busy streets. Every time Hirota comes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for business, he will strongly feel the power of Southern Africa.
This time Hirota was not in the mood to envy Southern Africa. The time he made an appointment with Yang Shimozi was at ten in the morning. Hirota arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at 9:30. Yang Shimozi was very busy at work.
.
At ten o'clock sharp, Hirota Koki walked into Yang Smuts' office on time. At this time, Yang Smuts had just sent away Jacob Gould Shulman, the U.S. Ambassador to Southern Africa.
Jacob Gould Shulman also just arrived in southern Africa not long ago. After the signing of the "Abandoned War Convention", the relationship between southern Africa and the United States entered a new stage. Shulman was ambitious and hoped to promote southern Africa.
Relations with the United States further developed.
"Minister Shi Mozi, good morning -" Hirota Hongyi bowed ninety degrees, with impeccable etiquette.
"Mr. Hirota, please sit down -" Yang Shimozi waited for Hirota to stand up straight before shaking hands with Hirota.
"The fact I learned is that Mr. Suzuki did not steal Mr. Ekman's research results. Mr. Ekman did discover the relationship between rice bran and beriberi, but Mr. Ekman did not conduct further research, so
Suzuki-kun's research results have nothing to do with Mr. Aikman." Hirota Koki was not polite, he only had half an hour.
"You just said that Suzuki-kun conducted research based on Mr. Ekman's research results, so why is this irrelevant?" Yang Smozi is not messing around. Suzuki Umetaro is based on Ekman's research.
Vitamin B1 was extracted from the Internet, but there was not even a single word of thanks due to it, and it was so clear-cut that it was unbecoming of a man.
"Mr. Ekman gave up on his own initiative -" Koki Hirota emphasized again. Ekman studied beriberi in East India in 1886. Umetaro Suzuki extracted vitamin B1 in 1910, which was obviously very popular.
Cows are irrelevant.
"No, no, no, Mr. Ekman has never given up. He has been conducting research in this area." Yang Smozi disagreed with Hirota's words.
"Then why didn't Mr. Aikman extract vitamin B1?" Hirota Koki endured it again and again, although the truth was on Umetaro Suzuki's side, but the situation was stronger than others.
Now Southern Africa's attitude towards Japan has softened. As long as the Japanese can afford the price, Southern Africa's trade ban on Japan has begun to loosen. Although restrictions on rare metals have not yet been lifted, at least in terms of food and daily necessities,
The trade volume between Japan and Southern Africa is increasing year by year.
Even though Japan now thinks that it has entered the ranks of great powers, psychologically, Japan still bows to Europe, especially the United Kingdom.
Southern Africa is part of the Commonwealth, so Southern African products are also very popular in Japan, especially the wool and cashmere products from Southern Africa. Their popularity in Japan is simply amazing, and they are sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves.
kind.
Of course, southern African wool and cashmere products have little relevance to ordinary Japanese. Ordinary Japanese cannot afford them, and only dignitaries can afford them.
"This is Mr. Ekman's own problem, but our southern African federal government must unconditionally safeguard the interests of southern Africans." Yang Smuts is full of domineering, and it cannot be said that Yang Smuts is cheating. If this
If it's a lie, then every country in the world counts, and no one is innocent.
