Japan’s suggestion that the Southern African ambassador to Japan leave Japan as soon as possible has once again become an international laughing stock, because the Southern African ambassador to Japan has left Japan a few years ago. This position has been vacant in the past few years, and the Southern African federal government has not arranged for a new ambassador.
Take office.
As for the recall of the ambassador from southern Africa, Roque also did not care. The primary responsibility of the embassy and consulate is to promote political relations between the two countries, followed by promoting economic, cultural, educational, technological, military and other relations, as well as safeguarding the citizens of the country.
The legitimate rights and interests of legal persons in foreign countries, issuing or extending passports to domestic citizens, issuing visas to foreign citizens, etc.
The relationship between Southern Africa and Japan is bad, and trade between the two countries has been interrupted for many years. Japan wants to buy resources in Southern Africa, but Southern Africa will not sell them; Japan wants to buy machinery and equipment from Southern Africa, but Southern Africa will not sell them; even Japan
People want to immigrate to Southern Africa, but the federal government of Southern Africa does not accept it. What is there to promote?
The federal government of Southern Africa is so indifferent towards relations between the two countries, and Japan’s emphasis on Southern Africa is also constantly decreasing.
Hiroki Hirota, the current Japanese Foreign Minister, once served as Japan’s ambassador to Southern Africa.
Isoroku Yamamoto, who serves as Vice Minister of the Navy, once served as the attaché of the Japanese Embassy in Southern Africa. Hirota Koki and Yamamoto Isoroku are very clear about the arrogance of Southern Africa.
Isoroku Yamamoto is currently in London. His task is to represent Japan at the Second London Naval Conference and actively promote military cooperation with Germany.
The London Naval Treaty did not have very good results. With both Southern Africa and the United States building aircraft carriers aggressively, the London Naval Treaty has become a dead letter and has no binding effect on Southern Africa and the United States.
This situation has London very worried.
Thirty years ago, or even twenty years ago, Southern Africa and the United States were building large surface warships aggressively, and the United Kingdom would not hesitate to follow suit. Maybe Southern Africa and the United States built one, and the United Kingdom would build two.
, ensuring the United Kingdom’s maritime dominance.
Now the United Kingdom can no longer afford to keep up. Southern Africa is building four "Island" class aircraft carriers in one go, and the United States is building five "Yorktowns" in one go. Neville looks at the empty treasury with tears, piecing together everything to the best of his ability.
Only two "Elizabeths" could be built. Against this background, the United Kingdom proposed convening a second London Conference in the hope of once again restricting the arms race.
Not only is the arms race between southern Africa and the United States, France and Italy are also building BIG7-class battleships, which also makes London worried.
The Suez Canal is still extremely important to the British today. The United Kingdom can abandon Halifax and Changi Naval Base, but it has never considered abandoning the Suez Canal.
France and Italy both regard the Mediterranean as their core interests, and the arms race between the two countries will seriously affect British interests in the Mediterranean.
Before Southern Africa broke away from the Commonwealth, the Cyprus Squadron could still compete with the British Mediterranean Fleet. Now times have changed, Southern Africa's attitude is ambiguous, and the British Mediterranean Fleet is also alone.
Representing Southern Africa at the Second London Naval Conference were Arthur and Angel.
From the first day they arrived in London, Arthur and Angel fell into an extremely busy working state.
The impact of Germany's invasion of the Rhineland is still unfolding. France is worried that the Germans will become more aggressive and hopes to form an alliance with southern Africa.
Italy and Cyprus face each other across the sea. Although the Cyprus squadron is not strong enough, it has a strong land-based aviation force. Italy also hopes to form an alliance with southern Africa.
The United Kingdom also hopes to make amends with Southern Africa. Although Southern Africa has withdrawn from the Commonwealth, among all European countries, Southern Africa still has the best relationship with the United Kingdom. After all, there is still a good relationship.
So after Arthur and Angel arrived in London, the Southern African Embassy in the United Kingdom entertained and danced every night. All kinds of banquets and dances annoyed Arthur and Angel. Arthur even claimed to be ill and avoided some ineffective
social contact.
"How's it going? Have you experienced the difficulty of serving the country?" Angie is very optimistic about Arthur. Arthur has a special status. He has dual ancestry of French and Chinese. He is also a baron of the British Empire. Regardless of the title of baron, Arthur has a special status.
Gao, Arthur definitely attracts more attention than some earls in England. This is the benefit of being backed by southern Africa.
As an adult, Arthur has been in Cyprus and rarely returned to southern Africa. Gavin was obsessed with laboratory work and Alvin was still too young to take on the responsibility. Arthur was summoned by a telegram from Rock to London to represent southern Africa at a naval conference.
In the Southern African delegation, Arthur is the real leader.
"I don't care, my stomach and liver can't bear it." Arthur smiled bitterly. The palace dances sounded so high-end, and it was only the same thing once they participated in it. It was a waste of time.
An Qi smiled and handed Arthur a document.
Arthur opened it. The content was a telegram sent back to Japan by the Japanese delegation.
The head of Japan’s delegation to the Second London Naval Conference was Japan’s Ministry of Finance’s Undersecretary of Internal Affairs, Konobu Kagoya, who was also one of the 28 future Class-A war criminals.
Although Konobu Kagoya is the leader, it is Isoroku Yamamoto who really has the final say. During the court ball held at Buckingham Palace the day before yesterday, someone heard Isoroku Yamamoto saying to Konobu Kagoya in a threatening tone: "You
You must obey me and shut up, otherwise I will beat you!"
It is hard to imagine that something like this happened to the Japanese delegation.
But it’s normal, Japan has a tradition of fighting, especially with such a hot-tempered and strong subordinate, Kagoya Konobu could only keep his mouth shut.
The telegram was sent in the name of Yamamoto Isoroku. Yamamoto Isoroku said in the telegram: The Imperial Navy, which was forced to accept a disadvantaged ratio, could only respond with air strikes in the battle against the superior Southern African Navy.
A heavy blow to the enemy.
At the same time, Yamamoto Isoroku also concluded that the day of war with Britain and the United States would not be too far away, and how to make a leap forward in aviation before the war was the most urgent priority.
It can be seen that Southern Africa’s advantages in the aviation field have put great pressure on Japan.
Arthur was very curious. This kind of telegram should be extremely confidential. How could Angel know it so clearly?
Angie didn’t explain that as a former member of the Commonwealth, Southern Africa’s intelligence network in London was stronger than Arthur imagined.
If there are no secrets between European countries, London can be penetrated by southern Africa in this way, and the same is true for other countries.
"So, if a war breaks out between us and Japan, then Japan may take the lead and carry out air strikes on the Changi Naval Base." Arthur is not ignorant about the war. Cyprus is an isolated island overseas, and there is no point in it.
Aware of crisis, I have long gone back to southern Africa to find my mother in tears.
"It's not possible, it's certain, and Japan and the United States may have reached some kind of agreement, otherwise Japan will not be able to bypass the United States' Philippines-" Angel frowned and handed Arthur another document: "U.S.
It has been decided to lease Melville Port on Palawan Island to the Japanese Navy for use. Starting from Melville, it is only 1,500 kilometers away from Changi Naval Base."
This situation is actually not surprising. The US-Pakistan coalition was beaten to a disgrace in Brazil, and the Americans must be thinking of ways to retaliate.
The Philippines is a colony of the United States, and a rebellion broke out in Palawan Island more than ten years ago. The U.S.-Philippine government has not completely quelled it until now. To introduce Japanese influence to Palawan Island, the United States’ goal is still southern Africa.
Previously, according to the southern African military's prediction, Japan would not be able to bypass the Philippines and launch an attack on Changi Naval Base before it could obtain an effective forward base.
Now this premise no longer exists. After acquiring Melville, Japan already has the ability to directly attack Changi Naval Base.
“The Japanese and Germans seem to be in contact.” Arthur’s expression was solemn. Japan is not terrible, and the United States is the real opponent.
If Germany is added to the mix, then the pressure faced by Southern Africa will not be as great as usual. It may be necessary to join forces with France and Italy.
However, considering the capabilities shown by France and Italy during the World War, the only reliable estimate is the United Kingdom.
Not necessarily. If Japan, the United States, and Germany form an alliance, the United Kingdom will be attacked from both sides and become a truly isolated island. When war breaks out, it is hard to say how long the United Kingdom can hold on.
"Japan and Germany are conducting technology exchanges. Japan hopes to get Germany's bomber technology, and Germany hopes to get Japan's experience in building aircraft carriers. There is news that Japan is very familiar with the performance of our ghost submarines. This information is probably leaked by Germany.
."As the Minister of the Navy, Angel is very concerned about the development of naval technology in various countries.
"Wait a minute, where did Germany get its bomber technology?" Arthur was surprised. The "Versailles Treaty" stipulated that Germany could not have an air force. Even if Germany has now broken through the restrictions of the "Versailles Treaty", it is impossible to form technology in such a short period of time.
breakthrough.
An Qi didn’t speak, her expression was awkward, and her face was slightly red.
Arthur understands.
With Germany’s own capabilities, it is indeed impossible to possess bomber technology in a short period of time.
However, Germany has had in-depth technical cooperation with Southern Africa a long time ago, so most of Germany’s bomber technology still comes from Southern Africa.
This is embarrassing. Southern Africa's aid to Germany is to balance France and maintain the balance of power on the European continent.
As a result, Germany and Japan are now shooting themselves in the foot. Germany and Japan are exchanging technology, posing a direct threat to southern Africa. France has become southern Africa's most loyal ally.
