Since Monroe proposed the "Monroe Doctrine", America has gradually become the backyard of the United States, just like Africa has become the backyard of Europe.
Seeing the rapid expansion of southern African power in the Americas, not to mention the US government, the British government is deeply worried.
The US government is worried about a fire in its backyard, while the British government is worried about southern Africa continuing to expand and sooner or later it will replace the Empire on which the sun never sets in the world.
Despite the fact that Britain is gradually declining, the British are unwilling to admit this.
This is normal. When the Spanish Armada was wiped out by British pirates, the Spaniards did not want to believe it.
"Before the massacre broke out, there were actually some signs. There were more and more soldiers in the city, and people began to panic. There were rumors that the Mizhou Army was about to launch an attack on Macae, and people who were able to leave Macae fled one after another.
"Chen Jing told Robin and Julia what happened that night in the office. Li Qing sat next to Chen Jing, looking at Chen Jing with concerned eyes, and unconsciously stirring the spoon in the coffee cup.
The office is very warmly decorated, with a southern African flag and a world map hanging on the wall. There are two photos on the table, one is a photo of Chen Jing's family, and the other is a photo of Chen Jing and Li Qing.
In the photo, Li Qing smiles brightly and confidently, while Chen Jing's expression is slightly serious. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find the sadness and panic in Chen Jing's eyes.
"Why didn't you and your family leave?" Julia asked proactively, not letting go of any clues.
"In my memory, my father has never had any conflicts with others. We had a neighbor named Hicks. Hicks was an American. He gave my father an American flag and asked my father to put the American flag on it.
"On the door, disaster can be avoided. Fortunately, my father did not do that, but followed the office's advice and went to the Rhodesia Hotel to take refuge." Chen Jing smiled bitterly. The Chinese have always been kind to others and never participated in any disputes.
But even so, every time a disaster occurs, the Chinese are always unable to escape.
Some are natural disasters, and many are man-made disasters.
"Have you seen the rebels with your own eyes?" Julia took the initiative to guide. Chen Jing's words alone could not determine the truth.
"Do you still need to ask? Those rebels are government troops. They put on the uniforms of the American army and carried out indiscriminate massacres. Then they blamed the American army and brought the Americans closer to the battlefield. You should go to Rio now and kill these three people.
The group immediately arrested her." Li Qing couldn't bear to see Chen Jing sinking into painful memories, and this was cruel to Chen Jing.
"Sorry, we have our own way of working." Julia glared at Li Qing with dissatisfaction. Sister, I don't need you to tell me how to do things. Please keep quiet.
"Haha" Li Qing sneered, and just as he was about to retort, Chen Jing gently tugged on the corner of Li Qing's clothes.
Li Qing took a deep breath and gave Julia a look that said "I'm giving you face" triumphantly, reminding Julia not to forget that this is Li Qing's home field.
Julia is not angry. Although everyone is from southern Africa, they do not belong to the same system. If the office does not cooperate, there is nothing Julia can do.
"Just like Sister Qing said, those rebels are government troops. They put on the uniforms of the Mizhou Army and carried out indiscriminate massacres. As for who was behind the scenes, I don't know." Chen Jing is still objective. There are two kinds now.
According to the theory, one is that the Mizhou state government incited government troops to cause the rebellion, and the other is that the military government directed and acted on its own in an attempt to blame Mizhou.
At least one thing is clear. That night, it was indeed the government troops who raised the butcher knife against the Macae people.
"Did those American flags have no effect?" Robin noticed this issue sensitively. Under normal circumstances, even if government troops rebel, they would not dare to harm Americans.
"No, my neighbor Hicks also came to the Rhodesia Hotel later, but their family returned to the United States a few days later, and I never saw them again." Chen Jing was slightly sad, and her relationship with Hicks
The two daughters have a very good relationship. Although Hicks himself is a bit arrogant, he is still a good person.
Arrogance is not a big problem. Most Americans in Brazil are arrogant. Americans think this is flamboyant personality.
Before the rebellion broke out, the American flag that Hicks gave to Chen Jing's family was enough to prove that Hicks was not a vicious person.
So don't criticize someone because of some shortcomings. Your neighbor may be rude, but when you need help, your neighbor will not hesitate to lend a helping hand.
He may make noise and disturb people, but at the same time he will help the old lady cross the road.
He may still smoke and drink, but as long as he does not become immoral after drinking, this is also a contribution to national tax revenue.
After all, no one is perfect.
"In other words, the American flag, which has protected Americans in the past, has lost its binding force on the rebels in this chaos." Robin's words were a bit instructive, and Julia thought about it for a while but did not correct it.
It's obvious. Southern Africa and the United States are already naked. There is no need to deceive themselves at this time. If it were an American investigating, the questions they would ask would be even more extreme.
Although Julia works with the purpose of "neutrality and impartiality" most of the time, at this time, the two words "neutrality and impartiality" are full of irony. As a staff member of the League of Nations, Julia is first of all a Southern African
People, so on this issue, Julia has no room for compromise.
In other words, if Julia needs to make some compromises for the benefit of southern Africa, Julia will not hesitate.
Even though Julia would feel guilty afterwards, Julia knew clearly what she should do at this time.
neutral?
just?
In the face of national interests, please keep your mouth shut.
"Yes, the night the rebellion broke out, the rebels killed everyone they saw. Many foreigners also disappeared completely after that night. No one knows where they went." Before the rebellion broke out, Chen Jing's family was a tailor, and she asked Chen Jing's father to make custom-made clothes.
Most of them are foreigners. Chen Jing has been helping in tailor shops since she was a child. Chen Jing knows all the foreigners in Macae, and at least she is familiar with the sizes of about 80 of them.
"Well, most of them should be dead. Li, do you have any information on all the foreigners in Macae before the rebellion broke out?" Robin asked Li Qing proactively.
"How is that possible? I'm afraid the Macae City Government doesn't have that kind of information." Li Qing denied it quickly, as fast as lightning.
"Oh" Robin said meaningfully.
"Ha" Julia hid her expression by lowering her head to sort out the information.
"What do you mean?" Li Qing turned his back directly. Unlike Chen Jing's "love at first sight", Li Qing had an inexplicable hostility towards Julia as soon as they met.
This is probably because Li Qing graduated from Nyasaland Army Academy, while Julia graduated from Johannesburg Medical College.
As we all know, the first choice for students in southern Africa is undoubtedly the University of Nyasaland, followed by the Johannesburg Medical College, or the Nyasaland Army College.
Strictly speaking, the rankings of these two schools are in no particular order, but this is not the case for the students of the two schools.
Young people will always argue over some illusory things. In fact, a medical school and a military academy have different majors, so there is nothing to argue about.
"Little Wildcat, you must be respectful to your seniors." Julia was not polite. The hat Li Qing wore had the logo of the Nyasaland Army Academy Wildcats football team, so Julia called Li Qing "Little Wildcat".
Football is very developed in southern Africa. There are dozens of football clubs in Los Angeles. It is normal for the Nyasaland Army Academy to have a football team.
It is said that starting from the year after next, Southern Africa will hold its own sports games, and the military will also send a team to participate as an independent group.
This is to make up for the regret that Southern Africa cannot participate in the Commonwealth Games after withdrawing from the Commonwealth. With so many athletes in Southern Africa, they cannot just wait to participate in the Olympic Games held every four years.
"Ha, why should I respect you, you big wild horse?" Li Qing was not polite, and Julia's hat also had the logo of the Johannesburg Mustang Club.
The Broncos Club is not a football team, but a horse racing club. Johannesburgers have a long-standing love for horse racing. In Johannesburg, horse racing is the only sport that can be ranked alongside football and racing.
So looking at it this way, people in southern Africa also have quite a lot of sports hobbies.
Of course, horse racing, football, and racing all have one thing in common, which is that it is expensive to participate. Needless to say, horse racing and racing, the price of a horse horse can reach more than 100,000 rand, and the price of a racing car is also
It's not cheap, not much cheaper than the top-end Lord car.
Football is considered the most economical, but in order to play, in addition to a set of jerseys and good skills, you also need a pitch with turf.
"Little wildcat, watch your words." Julia's pretty face was frosty. Eastern and Western cultures in southern Africa have been well integrated. Julia knew what the Chinese meant by "Ocean Horse".
"Okay, okay, just stop talking." Robin tried to be the peacemaker.
"Shut up!" Li Qing and Julia shouted at the same time.
Robin immediately raised his hands, turned and left the room.
"Sister Qing" Chen Jing could not bring Li Qing back to his senses.
"Listen to what she said, senior. If she were an old aunt, maybe I would respect her a little more." Li Qing was sarcastic. Julia is indeed a little older than Li Qing and Chen Jing, but she is not old either.
No matter how many conflicts the southern Africans have, they still have to deal with them unanimously in front of outsiders.
ps: I originally wanted to post this chapter yesterday afternoon, but then I thought about posting it after 12 o'clock and I could cheat a wave of monthly tickets. It's perfect.
