1641 If you can't scold you, you count me as a loser

  In the agreement between Najd Oil Company and the Sultanate of Najd, the Sultanate of Najd enjoys 10% of the income from the Najd Oilfield.

Don't underestimate this 10%. For a country that was previously very poor and could barely survive by exporting dates and human resources, the income is simply a huge difference. It's like a homeless person suddenly won the lottery, and it was only a month.

It's hard not to feel overwhelmed by winning first prize once.

 With stable income, the Najd royal family already has the temperament of another big time and space tycoon.

 After receiving the first dividend, the first thing the Najd royal family did was to buy luxury special planes launched by Nyasaland Airlines, and they even bought three of them for the exclusive use of the royal family.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough money. You can also pay for the plane in installments, so don’t even think about discounts.

 Does the royal family still need discounts when buying things?

Who are you talking about?

 Rock likes this kind of royal family so much.

Submarines and cruisers are now unable to meet the needs of the Sultanate of Najd. Only epoch-making weapons such as aircraft carriers are worthy of the Sultanate of Najd's status in the Persian Gulf.

Furthermore, adhering to the tradition of the Sultanate of Najd, one aircraft carrier is definitely not enough, so two will make do. Depending on Prince Samson’s wishes, the Persian Gulf must be filled with aircraft carriers.

“No, no, no, the Sultanate of Najd does not need to equip aircraft carriers now. Fighters are what it needs most, and the oil fields also need air control to ensure the safety of the oil fields.” Andy said earnestly, it is impractical to ask for an aircraft carrier.

 When he was selling to East India just now, Andy brought out the most advanced "Wind" fighter jet as soon as he came up.

 At this time, when promoting to the Sultanate of Najd, Andy kept silent about the model of the aircraft.

 Anyway, for the Sultanate of Najd, "High Wind" is no different from the "Strong Wind" of the previous generation.

As for the Southern African Air Force, after upgrading its fighter aircraft, it still has nearly a thousand "strong winds" that have not been disposed of in the country. Instead of leaving them in the aircraft cemetery to be exposed to the sun and wind, it is better to sell them to the Sultanate of Najd for recycling.

It cannot be said to be waste utilization. Although the Southern African Air Force has been updated, the "Strong Wind" is still an excellent fighter. The Southern African Air Force does not like it, and some people want it.

Of course, selling aircraft depends on the target. Only the countries of the Southern African Union have relatively more trust in southern Africa, and the Commonwealth countries also work together. If the Japanese want to buy them, they will definitely not sell them at any high price.

“We already have two brigade of fighter jets.” Prince Samson’s angle is strange. Hearing this means that with two brigade of fighter jets, there must be two aircraft carriers.

 And for the Sultanate of Najd, which has a land area of ​​more than two million square kilometers, are two brigades of fighter jets enough?

 It's not even enough to defend the capital.

Of course, from another perspective, what Prince Samson said is correct. After all, if hostile countries want to attack the Sultanate of Najd, they must consider the reaction of southern Africa.

 In order to protect the Elizabeth Oilfield, Southern Africa has stationed three air wings in Port Elizabeth, totaling more than 200 fighter planes.

"The two brigades only have three or forty aircraft. That's enough for what. At least two or three hundred aircraft will be enough." Andy just said this, and suddenly felt that the conference hall was a little quiet. When he looked up, almost all the people in the meeting hall were quiet.

Everyone is looking at him.

  Andy spread his hands innocently, indicating that he had done nothing.

“Andy, Southern Africa still retains a strong army. Shouldn’t you set an example in disarmament?” McDonald finally targeted Southern Africa.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you have any misunderstanding about the word 'powerful'? There are only 50,000 army troops left in southern Africa, but there are more than 7 million square kilometers of territory to protect. The French mainland is only 550,000 square kilometers, but there are

With a standing army of 700,000, why didn’t France set an example first?" Andy immediately counterattacked, and with only this few people left, he laid off your sister.

Of course, Andy also secretly changed the concept. The 50,000-strong army in southern Africa is the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division. These two divisions have been adapted into armored divisions each with an aviation regiment. The Northern Rhodesian Division

It also has a heavy artillery brigade equipped with 155 mm and howitzers. Its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the infantry divisions only equipped with light weapons during World War I.

"But you still have six divisions of alliance troops, as well as hundreds of thousands of navy and tens of thousands of air force. I almost forgot, you also have an engineering corps of hundreds of thousands of conscripts." The ghost of Kijuro Shitahara is still lingering. He, as a foreign affairs officer,

The minister spends most of the year in Europe.

"Oh, Japan, which has a land area of ​​less than 400,000 people, in addition to the combined navy fleet, has 21 standing army divisions and four mixed brigades, with a total strength of more than 400,000 people. So, don't you, Japan, also

Should we set an example?" Andy counterattacked sharply. He had less than 400,000 here, not including Korea.

"Nonsense, the official territory of our Empire of Japan exceeds 600,000, so it is not as unbearable as you say!" Kijuro Shitahara was immediately fooled, and his counterattack was equally sharp: "According to what you said, the territory of your southern Africa is also

Less than five million square kilometers, your Southwest Africa, Tanganyika, and Mesopotamia are all mandated protected areas.”

“Shut up, you bastard, the above-mentioned areas are an integral part of southern Africa!” Andy was furious. There was no such thing as a mandate.

“Stop!” Macdonald stopped in time, and the corner of his mouth almost burst into flames: “Andy, you may not know yet, Japan has promised to abolish four divisions and take actions to maintain world peace.”

Will Japan agree to disarmament?

 It only took Andy a second to understand why Japan would "use actions to maintain world peace."

  Japan, with limited national power, ultimately focused its development on the combined fleet.

 Japan’s military spending is limited. If it is given to the Combined Fleet, it cannot take care of the Japanese army.

The Combined Fleet is already preparing to build the "Yamato", so it will inevitably reduce its investment in the army. At this time, agreeing to disarmament is also a natural progression.

"Well, we can lay off 80,000 National Guardsmen and use actions to maintain world peace." Andy proposed the first plan. One division in Japan would have 15,000 to 20,000 men, and 80,000 men would be laid off in Southern Africa. That's about the same.

Four divisions.

“We are talking about the regular army, not the National Guard like the militia!” MacDonald was still not satisfied.

Andy immediately looked at Macdonald as if he were a fool.

 How the hell did you become the Prime Minister?

Wouldn’t it be a good thing for the United Kingdom to maintain a strong military force in southern Africa?

There is no need for the United Kingdom to spend money to help southern Africa raise troops. It is insane or something, and it is clinging to southern Africa!

McDonald really has his sights set on southern Africa.

 Do you still remember the saying “Measure the material resources of planting flowers, and the happiness of the country will be achieved”?

Macdonald’s mentality is probably similar to this sentence. In order to maintain his political reputation, he has not hesitated to harm the interests of the United Kingdom.

 Does Macdonald really not know the benefits to the United Kingdom of maintaining a strong armed force in southern Africa?

 Don't be ridiculous, he is still the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Even if he doesn't understand, the people around him do too.

 That's why MacDonald is so eager now to gain a good reputation as a "peace-loving" person.

 "Andy" MacDonald was not satisfied with Andy's silence and was still waiting for Andy to continue to give in.

 “Are you crazy?” Andy suddenly fired.

McDonald was extremely surprised, with shock written all over his face.

Cordell Hull was also stunned, and then overwhelmed with great ecstasy.

 Hatehara Kijuro sneered, looking at the dumbfounded Macdonald with an ambiguous expression.

 No matter how ambiguous it is, it is impossible for the Anglo-Japanese alliance to reappear.

 Pengale returned to his seat with a look of pain on his face.

 This is the so-called League of Nations. Southern Africa has a falling out with the United Kingdom, but France is the most heartbroken.

"What benefits does targeting southern Africa bring to the United Kingdom? As Prime Minister, you don't want to bring Britain out of the economic crisis, but you come here to convene some nonsense disarmament conference. What kind of army did you dismantle? Does the United Kingdom still have arms that can be dismantled?

?You are not only wasting your own time, but also wasting all of our time. Don't use the League of Nations as a stage for you to seek fame and fortune. It is not you who have the final say on whether southern Africa should be disarmament or not. It's up to all of you.

It doesn't matter!" Andy was furious, picked up the document in front of him and tore it into pieces, even knocking over his chair when he stood up.

 Then he walked away.

Macdonald's face was ashen. As a British Prime Minister, it was the first time in hundreds of years that he had been insulted in person.

 That’s not all.

 Just as Andy walked away, Prince Samson showed his stance of advancing and retreating with Southern Africa, and immediately stood up and left the venue.

Huang Peng hesitated for a moment, not sure whether he should go or not.

At this time, more and more people stood up, first the West African representatives, then the Kingdom of Congo, the Republic of Congo, and Australia

 Hey, it seems like something strange has gotten in.

 Huang Peng then no longer hesitated, smiled at MacDonald, who was in a shaky body, and chased Andy out of the venue.

McDonald's face suddenly turned sallow, and he slowly fell down on his chair without saying a word, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

 The meeting place suddenly became chaotic.

 At this point no one cares about the outcome of the disarmament conference.

People are speculating whether the relationship between Southern Africa and the United Kingdom will be completely broken down.

On the evening of the 15th, the federal government of Southern Africa announced that Andy Ouston, the representative to the League of Nations, had been dismissed from his post because he had publicly made some inappropriate remarks.

Stone was transferred back to Southern Africa, and the post of representative to the League of Nations was taken over by Sean Ferguson, Southern Africa's ambassador to France.

 The British Prime Minister was scolded in front of him and he vomited blood and fainted and was hospitalized. There was no other punishment other than dismissal from office. The attitude of the Southern African federal government on this matter is also very clear.
