With the current strength of the Royal Navy, even if the Atlantic Fleet evacuates Halifax, the Royal Fleet may not be able to regain its lost ground.
Even if the Royal Navy symbolically returns to Halifax, I'm afraid the Royal Navy will still have to give up after a while, and Canada will still inevitably face the threat from the United States.
On this issue, Canada's current prime minister, Richard Bedford Bennett, may be making a fool of himself.
As Canada's longest-serving prime minister, William King can certainly do no wrong.
Speaking of Richard Bedford Bennett, this man was born in poverty. He did nothing during his five years in office. After leaving office, he became a peer in the British House of Lords. He is also a legend as the only Canadian Prime Minister to be buried in the United Kingdom.
Bennett is a successful businessman, but the way he made his fortune is different from others. Bennett had a female classmate named Jenny. This female classmate married a rich man. Later, Jenny died and left all the stocks worth millions.
Leave it to Bennett, who becomes rich as a result.
After the economic crisis broke out, William King, then Prime Minister of Canada, believed that the economic crisis would end soon, so he did not make timely adjustments.
Bennett, who was still in the audience at the time, frequently attacked William King who had done nothing, and successfully defeated William King in last year's general election and became the Prime Minister of Canada.
But Bennett did not lead Canada out of the economic crisis.
On the contrary, after Bennett came to power, when the roles were reversed and William King, who became the leader of the opposition party, asked Bennett how to deal with the economic crisis, Bennett's answer was: "What crisis?"
This answer is so classic, comparable to Ma Shamei.
With such a leader in power, it’s crazy how quickly Canada can get out of the economic crisis.
Under this circumstance, if the Atlantic Fleet withdraws from Halifax, Canada will be unable to guarantee national security.
"So, by expelling southern Africa from the Commonwealth, we get nothing, nothing changes." David Beatty, the new Lord of the Admiralty, frowned. What he inherited was also a mess.
David Beatty was born in 1871 and served in the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. His wife, like Winston's mother, was also the daughter of an American millionaire.
During Winston's tenure as Lord of the Admiralty, David Beatty was Winston's deputy and served as Undersecretary of the Sea. He later participated in a series of naval battles as a squadron commander. After the war, he was created an earl and received a reward of 100,000 pounds.
According to David Beatty's age, he has actually reached the stage of retirement. However, the Royal Navy is now in a lean stage, and David Beatty was ordered to do so at the last moment.
"Of course, we may have lost our most important ally. I hope that when the next world war breaks out, India can form a force comparable to the Southern African Expeditionary Force." Winston's expression was stern, and he forced Southern Africa out of the British Army.
The Federation was not Winston's original intention.
"How can you say that? Southern Africa is still an ally of the United Kingdom, and there will be no next world war, certainly not!" Neville was distraught. The current United Kingdom is completely different from what Neville originally imagined.
In Neville's imagination, after he became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Southern Africa could cooperate more closely with the United Kingdom, enough to face any challenges.
Unexpectedly, before Neville was familiar with the job, Southern Africa directly withdrew from the Commonwealth, dealing a heavy blow to Neville.
The situation now is very troublesome. Southern Africa's position in the Commonwealth is irreplaceable. During the World War, Rock led the British Expeditionary Force and beat the crap out of the Germans. Now that Southern Africa has withdrawn from the Commonwealth, who will be able to wait for another World War to break out?
To replace Roark and the Southern African Expeditionary Force?
So Neville could only hope that World War II would never come.
"Can't you still see it? Germany has withdrawn from the League of Nations, Japan has withdrawn from the League of Nations, France and Italy are engaged in an arms race. Ask Marshal Roger Keyes, he will definitely tell you that he faces every day in the Mediterranean
What kind of pressure." Winston was also stunned. Roger Case had retired last year, and his replacement was Case's chief of staff, Dudley Pound.
Interestingly, Dudley Pound was one year older than Roger Keyes.
The relationship between Winston and Neville remained tense and did not ease with Winston's appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Neville's cabinet.
Winston has always been a militant.
Neville is wavering between fighting and making peace.
"I said, there will be no next world war. No matter how crazy France and Italy are, the intensity and impact of the arms race will be far less than that between us and Germany." Neville was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.
His political reputation is far less than that of Winston.
Winston in this time and space has led Britain to win World War I.
If Winston can still lead Britain to win World War II, then Winston will undoubtedly become the greatest British man in history.
This time it's really not a joke.
"Okay gentlemen, let's all calm down. If you can't keep calm, then our country will be finished." The old and strong Stanley Baldwin is the anchor of this cabinet. Without Stanley Baldwin
With such central harmony, Winston and Neville could quarrel from morning till night.
Inviting Winston to join the cabinet was also to balance the rights of the Neville family. You must know that when Neville was Prime Minister, another member of the Neville family, Austin, was also serving as Foreign Secretary.
Although Stanley Baldwin has resigned, he is still old-fashioned. After the Conservative Party regained power in another time and space, Stanley Baldwin was still the prime minister.
In this time and space, Neville successfully replaced Stanley Baldwin by relying on the influence of Southern Africa. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and Southern Africa has become further and further away from the British Commonwealth.
While Neville and Winston were arguing, the other cabinet ministers were relatively speechless.
The British Empire was already in turmoil, but now its internal divisions are still so serious. How can it face the increasingly severe international situation?
"Let's talk about the Imperial Conference. To get rid of the current unfavorable situation, the Imperial Conference is an opportunity." Stanley Baldwin did not finish his words. The opportunity is indeed an opportunity, but it must be grasped.
"Can we invite southern Africa to the Imperial Conference?" If possible, Winston would like to bring southern Africa back into the Commonwealth.
"Southern Africa has left the Commonwealth. Even if we extend an invitation to southern Africa, I am afraid that southern Africa will not return to London." John Simon would not do this either. If he had known today, why bother in the first place.
Forget it, this is another confusing account. I don’t know how many people will be unlucky if they need to be held accountable.
"We can extend an invitation to Cape or Rhodesia," said Earl Riding, who served as Governor-General in India and is now Minister of the Dominion.
In 1907, the British established the Department of Dominions under the Department of Colonial Affairs.
In 1926, the Dominion Department was upgraded to the same level as the British Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and India Department.
There is a reason why Earl Reading chose Cape and Rhodesia. Cape is the earliest British colony in southern Africa, and Britain still has huge influence on Cape.
As for Rhodesia, when the federal government of Southern Africa was established, Rhodesia, like Nyasaland, was a pawn embedded by the British.
It's a pity that before Britain could activate it, these two chess pieces became ineffective.
Otherwise, Nyasaland should be the best choice.
As for Orange
Sorry, the Count of Aden has no regard for Orange.
"Oh, when the federal government of Southern Africa was established, the United Kingdom had already lost the trust of the Cape people. As for Rhodesia, why do you think the Rhodes family will be grateful to the United Kingdom?" Earl Winston Bearding
Learn more about Southern Africa.
"Haha, just pretend I didn't say that." Earl Aden is not angry. This won't work, and that won't work either. You can do whatever you want.
"When extending an invitation to southern Africa, the reaction of the southern African federal government must be fully considered." Neville is considering visiting southern Africa and does not want the relationship with Roque to get worse.
"The relationship between us cannot get worse." David Beatty is still relatively tough. In fact, he should be grateful to Southern Africa. If Southern Africa returns Changi Naval Base to the Royal Navy, it will also be a hot potato.
Having the Indian Ocean Fleet defending Changi Naval Base can at least guarantee British interests in the Indian Ocean. From this perspective, we can understand why Ramsay MacDonald sold Changi Naval Base to southern Africa.
Britain is busy supporting Germany to suppress France in Europe, and its interests in the Mediterranean have been affected by the arms race between France and Italy. If there is a fire in the Indian Ocean backyard at this time, the Royal Navy will be exhausted, and it may not be useful.
Now at least the Royal Navy can focus more of its energy on the English Channel and the Mediterranean. Before Japan breaks through the defense line of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Britain does not need to worry about the Far East.
As for British interests in the Far East
Britain has given up on even southern Africa. What else can't it give up?
If you want to maintain it, you must be able to maintain it.
"No, no, we can't do that." Neville was firm on this issue. The United Kingdom has made many mistakes, but it cannot make the same mistakes again and again on the wrong path.
Roark doesn't know how entangled the current British cabinet is. The relationship between Southern Africa and the United Kingdom is too close, and leaving the Commonwealth will not be achieved overnight. Anyway, Roark is not in a hurry now. He keeps throwing chess pieces one by one. Sooner or later,
All will work.
"What do the Germans say?" Rock asked about the Non-Aggression Pact.
"Ambassador Bright invites you to visit Germany on behalf of Berlin." Louis became more mature, Sidney Milner went to the Ministry of Commerce, and Louis became the Grand Controller of the Palace of Justice again.
Visit Germany
It's not impossible, but it's definitely not possible now.
