1677 Lots of fish

  Although the financial resources of the French government are not as good as those of Southern Africa, it does not mean that it has no money. The main reason is that the money is spent but the effect is not seen, so the Congress is very stingy.

Referring to Stoudemire's behavior of spending a lot of money in Theodosius, in fact, simply throwing money can also produce results, so Tony Dart sent an invitation to Leonard Cappe, hoping to use the Cappe family

financial resources to open up the situation.

 Leonard Capet was Arthur's uncle.

With this connection, Leonard Capet's first stop will definitely be Cyprus, which is not surprising to Tony Dutt.

 Arthur still respects his uncle very much.

 As for his nephew, Leonard Capet respects him more. This is not only out of family affection, but also because of more complicated interests.

"France and Italy have begun building new battleships, and the arms race around the Mediterranean has begun. But you don't have to worry. With southern Africa as your back, no one dares to cause trouble with Cyprus." Leonard Capet didn't look relaxed.

Once the Pandora's Box of arms race is opened, it will most likely end in a protracted and tragic war.

 This has been verified in the last world war, but this is the way the world is. People never accept lessons, so there are so many disputes.

Of course, the reason must be more than that simple. When the Treaty of Versailles was just signed, Foch said: The Treaty of Versailles is just a twenty-year armistice agreement.

Ten years have passed now, and a new generation of Europeans has grown up and can take up arms to fight. There are vengeances and injustices. If a world war breaks out again, it will be even more tragic than the last time.

"If a world war breaks out again, everyone will be forced into the whirlpool, and no one can survive alone." Arthur and he are very clear-headed. Even if southern Africa has left the Commonwealth, when a world war breaks out again, southern Africa may still be involved.

Forced to get involved.

This is not a question of whether Southern Africa wants to join the war. It is not up to Southern Africa to choose. Europe has already become a mess. Southern Africa cannot stand idly by. After all, Southern Africa has too many interests in Europe.

To put it bluntly, even if you want to grab chestnuts from the fire, you have to take the initiative to reach out. Pies will not fall from the sky. If southern Africa does not reach out, the United States will too.

 What's more, there is Russia in the north that is ready to attack.

 “You should believe in your father, he will definitely not let you be put in danger.” Leonard Capet has confidence in Roque, or in southern Africa.

 After France gave St. Roch to southern Africa, the Capet family was deeply involved in the construction of St. Roch.

After the completion of Saint-Roch, Leonard Capet moved his family to Saint-Roch, further connecting with southern Africa.

In recent years, the situation in Europe has become increasingly tense. Italy dissolved its Congress, Mustache came to power, the United Kingdom, the United States, southern Africa, Russia and almost all other countries are supporting Germany out of their own interests. The smarter French have already

began to flee France, and Leonard Capet was no exception.

A long time ago, Leonard Capet sent his children to study in southern Africa. Now, all of Leonard Capet's children have started families in southern Africa. Only Leonard Capet still stays in France.

In southern Africa terms, the Capet family makes money in France and then spends it in southern Africa.

  The Capet family has also begun to consciously transfer the family business to North Africa in recent years.

This choice is very smart. If it is transferred to southern Africa, the French government will definitely impose restrictions on the Capet family.

 There is no problem in moving to North Africa. The North African colonies are also French territory.

 At Leonard Capet's words, Arthur smiled and did not respond.

Roark must be very concerned about Arthur. Although the Mediterranean Squadron does not have battleships and aircraft carriers, looking at how many air wings there are in Cyprus, you will know that anyone who wants to attack Cyprus must be prepared to face the Southern African Air Force.

There is no need to emphasize the combat effectiveness of the Southern African Air Force. The air forces of almost all European countries are now modeled after the Southern African Air Force. Although the organization is similar and even the types of equipment are similar, the combat effectiveness is vastly different.

It is really a world of difference. Among European countries, even the United Kingdom, which has a relatively advanced air force, is far behind the Southern African Air Force in all aspects. Whether it is the performance of the aircraft, the quality of the pilots, or even the logistics of the air force.

There is a big gap.

 There is no way to say it. Southern Africa has a first-mover advantage in the aviation field. It is understandable that the technology is advanced, and it is understandable that there are a large number of pilots with high quality. It is difficult to explain the gap in logistics.

Here we have to thank Adan Company for its contribution. The Air Force and mechanized forces are both big consumers of fuel. Once a plane takes off, the fuel required is calculated in tons, and it is high-quality aviation fuel. Now all over the world, that is

Southern Africa and the United States have the confidence to use it casually, but the United Kingdom has to save money and secretly accumulate it little by little as a strategic resource reserve. It is said that the oil stored in the United Kingdom will only be enough for the United Kingdom once the external supply is cut off.

About a month.

Southern Africa and the United States are very happy. There is no need to reserve oil at all. When it is gone, it will be dug. This is why Southern Africa has so many air wings stationed in Cyprus and Port Elizabeth.

 To attack Port Elizabeth, you must first capture Cyprus.

After taking Cyprus, we still had to face the invincible Southern African Army. The 1st Armored Division, which was reorganized from the 1st Cavalry Division, was stationed in Port Elizabeth.

 Since the World War, there are no longer those "first army in the world", "first army in Europe", etc. that sound a little unreasonable.

Southern Africa doesn’t even say that it is number one, and the former “number one in the world” and “number one in Europe” have no shame in saying so.

There is nothing we can do about it. During the World War, the "No. 1 in the world" was beaten by the "No. 1 in Europe". After the war, the "No. 1 in Europe" was weakened to only 100,000 troops. Although the number was large, it did not even have machine guns.

How can a hundred thousand infantrymen equipped with rifles face modern mechanized troops equipped with armored vehicles and tanks if they are not allowed to equip them?

Oh, now the Southern African Army is also equipped with helicopters.

 Just after the large-scale construction of cruisers began in southern Africa, there were also calls in the army to rebuild the 1st Cavalry Division.

Of course, if it is rebuilt, the 1st Cavalry Division will definitely not be equipped with war horses, but will be mainly equipped with helicopters and light infantry fighting vehicles. This will be the world's first rapid reaction force. After it is completed, whether it is in the world

If there is a need in any corner, troops can be deployed quickly.

 Think about when the last world war broke out, it took Britain, France and Russia almost half a year to complete mobilization.

 When the next war breaks out, it may end quickly in just a few weeks, leaving little time for slow mobilization.

 “Is your father-in-law really going to give up on Theodosius?” Leonard Capet didn’t know much about Stoudemire.

 Arthur nodded, some of Xiao Si’s behaviors really cannot be explained in words.

 “What did he think?” Leonard Capet was completely confused. Rich people are not so willful.

 “What does the French Congress think?” In fact, Arthur is also quite confused. The French’s manipulation of Theodosius is not much better than that of Stoudemire.

Now it’s Leonard Capet who is embarrassed. Stoudemire’s behavior in Theodosius can still be explained by his wealth and willfulness. How should we explain the behavior of the French government?

 It can only be said to be stupid.

 In Roque’s words, even if hundreds of pigs are allowed to attend a meeting, this result will probably not occur.

“Do you think it is possible for France to restore its mandate?” Leonard Capet was a little skeptical. Even if he was rich, he would not be like Stoudemire.

 The key is that Xiaosi has never experienced hardship, so he does not have a clear concept of money.

 Leonard Capet has endured hardships. The Capet family was already in decline when he was born. If it were not for his relationship with Ada, the Capet family would probably have died out by now.

"It's possible, but it depends on how it works." Arthur said with a sarcastic look on his face. Even though Stoudemire was unreliable, Stoudemire's method of throwing money at the beginning might really create a situation.

 Change to the French government

 Let’s not say haha, Arthur is not very optimistic about it anyway.

“I studied the way your father conquered East Africa.” Leonard Capet seemed to have done his homework, but unfortunately he went in the wrong direction.

"East Africa is different from the Asia Minor Peninsula. When my father conquered East Africa, he had the support of the United Kingdom behind him. At the same time, there were no neighboring countries that had binding force on southern Africa. Moreover, with the strength of Portugal, there was no way to resist." Arthur did not mention the Asia Minor Peninsula.

If Leonard Capet was smarter, he would not have intervened at all.

If you want to unify the Asia Minor Peninsula, you have to ask Britain, France and Russia whether they agree, and you also have to look at the attitude of southern Africa.

  Don’t forget that Cyprus was once a territory of the Ottoman Empire.

Moreover, Cyprus is so close to the peninsula of Asia Minor, and the Chinese believe in their bones that others should not be allowed to snore on the side of the bed.

 “What if the scope is only determined around Theodosius?” Leonard Capet was unwilling to accept it.

"What do you want from Theodosius?" Arthur shook his head and smiled bitterly. At least in Arthur's opinion, the Asia Minor Peninsula was really not worth investing in.

 This is the real reason why European countries abandoned the Asia Minor Peninsula one after another.

Why has the UK never given up the idea of ​​visiting Port Elizabeth?

 Because there is oil in Port Elizabeth.

  Why is southern Africa so stuck on Australia’s neck?

 Because Australia has iron mines and farms.

What is there on the Asia Minor Peninsula?

 There was almost nothing left except the Ottomans, who were already very few.

 That's not right. As long as there is a lake on the Asia Minor Peninsula, there are many fish in it.

 This may be the reason why Stoudemire invested in the Asia Minor Peninsula.
