Influence and voice are basically equated, but many countries, including the United Kingdom, have not yet paid attention to this issue. Southern Africa urgently needs to expand its influence and gain an international status that matches its strength. The League of Nations
It is also the best springboard.
One of the purposes of the establishment of the League of Nations is to use peaceful means to resolve international disputes as much as possible. This has been reached after countries fully realized the destructive power of world war.
But this does not mean that wars will disappear. Disputes will still exist. At this time, a legal way to resort to force is needed. Other countries will realize this sooner or later, so in version 2.0 of the League of Nations, peacekeeping forces will appear.
Roque now wants to get the peacekeeping force out in advance, and it doesn't matter if he bears part of the League of Nations funds for this. Compared with the harvest, one or two million is nothing.
Ad and Philip need time to digest Roark's suggestion.
Roark was not in a hurry, so he turned around and mentioned it to Sir Drummond first, and Sir Drummond immediately took notice.
Let’s not talk about how much it will cost. If the League of Nations can have an army, it will really enhance the role and status of the League of Nations.
The League of Nations does have needs in this regard. For example, the current Asia Minor Peninsula urgently needs the League of Nations to maintain order.
The Ottoman Empire was destroyed during the World War. After the World War, the territory of the Ottoman Empire was carved up by the Allies. The Ottomans, who were not willing to fail, rose up under the leadership of Kemal. The surviving Ottoman royal family members also had troops loyal to the Ottoman Empire as the core.
Raise troops to try and restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire.
There are countless forces fighting in the Asia Minor Peninsula such as Britain, France, Italy, Greece and Kimar Said. There are actually Russian troops and a southern African force stationed on the Garibaldi Peninsula. If the League of Nations has armed forces, then it can use them
greater effect.
Russian troops in the Garibaldi Peninsula were loyal to Nicholas II.
After Nicholas II was executed, the Russian troops on the Garibaldi Peninsula did not obey the orders of the new Russian government to abandon the Garibaldi Peninsula. Instead, they stationed themselves on the Garibaldi Peninsula and controlled the area centered on Constantinople.
Bosporus Strait.
Both the British government and the French government have tried to recruit this force, but they have failed. Now the remaining forces of the Allied Powers and the Ottoman Empire are unable to launch an attack on Constantinople, so this force miraculously managed to survive in these troubled times.
They can survive even though they don't even have a logistics base.
It cannot be said that there is no war, because there is no war in Constantinople, so the farms and pastures around Constantinople are being restored, and it will not take long for this army to be self-sufficient.
The top military commander of this southern African force stationed on the Bosporus is still Ruiz, who has been promoted to major. The number of troops stationed has also increased from one company to one battalion, and the station has expanded ten times compared to before.
More than enough.
The troops have now withdrawn from the castle and are stationed in the newly built barracks. These barracks were built using building materials around Constantinople. The reinforced concrete buildings are tall and sturdy, and lookouts are also built at the four corners of the camp.
The tower, the camp also has an airstrip and a simple dock located in the strait, making the transportation very convenient.
After the World War, Ruiz and Sofia got married successfully. Not long ago, Sofia gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Ruiz named the twins Gil and Zhuangzhuang respectively.
"How are you today, Gil?" Ruiz is very concerned about both children, but he is more partial to his daughter.
"It's very good. I don't cry or make a fuss. I can eat and sleep. When I was working, Gil seemed to be very interested." When Sophia was working, she always took Gil and Zhuang Zhuang with her. Gil was full of energy and Zhuang Zhuang was always there.
A deep sleep.
Dingyuanbao is now the largest hospital in the Bosporus, with a total of 61 doctors and nurses. Sophia is the director of the hospital and is applying to return to Nyasaland to work in order to prepare for the future education of her two children.
There are now more than a hundred garrison family members here, and cross-border marriage combinations are very common. The nearest school to Dingyuan Fort is in Cyprus, about 1,400 kilometers away. Cyprus is considering setting up a primary school in Dingyuan Fort.
The presence of hospitals and primary schools means that southern Africa will station troops in Dingyuanbao for a long time. However, the mobility of the troops is very high, with half of them replaced every two years, and the quality of teaching is definitely not as good as Nyasaland.
"Then let her study hard. Maybe she will become an excellent doctor in the future." Ruiz picked up Gil from the cradle. Gil was very excited when he saw Ruiz, babbling and vomiting Ruiz happily.
Yisi's face was full of bubbles.
"Sir, General Alexander is here." The guard interrupted Luis's family time. Ruiz put Gil back in the cradle and headed to the reception room.
Alexander was the supreme commander of Constantinople. After the fall of the Russian Empire, Alexander regained control of Constantinople with the support of the Dingyuan Fort garrison. There are now about 120,000 Russians around Constantinople.
people, including approximately 24,000 troops.
"Ruiz, do you have any good news for me?" Alexander gave Ruiz a warm hug when he saw him.
The Russians in Constantinople now receive all their supplies from southern Africa. The supplies that Cyprus sends to Constantinople every month can fill more than a dozen transport ships. Alexander hoped to send some Russians last month.
Go to Cyprus or southern Africa, but this is not easy. The new Russian government hopes that southern Africa can interrupt the supply of troops stationed in Constantinople.
Constantinople's 20,000 troops are equipped with the latest weapons and are quite powerful in combat.
The new Russian government hopes that this force can return to Russia and participate in the war between the new Russian government and the White Army.
Alexander did not agree with this arrangement. The Russians in Constantinople all missed the Russian Empire, so they fled Russia to Constantinople after the new Russian government was established. They preferred to go to southern Africa or other European countries.
"I'm sorry Alexander, you know this can't be decided in a moment." Ruiz smiled, he and Alexander had a good relationship, and a friend in need is a friend indeed.
"Help Ruiz, please help. After these Russians arrive in southern Africa, they will definitely be loyal to southern Africa and treat southern Africa as their home. Lord Nyasaland will be their czarist father."
Alexander's posture is low. The White Army supported by the Allies is not progressing smoothly in Russia. The new Russian government will launch an attack on Constantinople at any time. As for the defeated soldiers in Constantinople, they will definitely not be able to withstand the new government's troops.
Crazy attack.
"Ivan, it's not that simple." Ruiz smiled bitterly. Alexander hoped to send all Russians except the army to southern Africa, as many as 100,000 people.
It is not difficult to settle 100,000 people in Southern Africa. There is a lot of free land in Southern Africa. The key is how to ensure the loyalty of these Russians and how to smoothly integrate these Russians into Southern Africa. Southern Africa is not a place for new immigrants.
It's so simple.
Ten years ago, southern Africa was indeed open to new immigrants.
Now the situation has changed. After the end of the world war, the population of Southern Africa soared to 15 million, and there were as many as 800,000 newborn babies last year. Southern Africa has shifted its main focus from immigration to basic education for its citizens.
"I know, I have long said that if you are willing, I can transfer the control of Constantinople to you. We are now a group of homeless dogs who just want to find a place to breed quietly.
To make a living." Alexander was also helpless. He and his men could not accept the way the new government dealt with Tsar Nicholas II, but they were unable to avenge the Tsar. They were in a real dilemma.
Ruiz also smiled bitterly. He really wanted to help Alexander, but the federal government obviously had its own considerations.
When Alexander left Dingyuan Fort, he took away fifteen trucks full of supplies, including flour, vegetable oil, beef, chocolate, coffee and dried coconut.
If possible, Alexander would like to replace the coffee and dried coconut with beef with higher calories, but the Cyprus logistics warehouse stipulates this, and Alexander has no choice.
Today's Constantinople is smaller in scale than before. The west side of the Bosporus is being repaired. Except for the winding roads near the strait, the roads in the city are all horizontal and vertical.
Very southern African style.
This part on the west side is divided into six districts. On average, there are about 10,000 people living in each district. Each district has supporting facilities such as markets and commercial streets. There are still few hospitals and schools. There are only
There is not a single hospital or school.
The convoy drove directly into the port area closest to the strait, and was immediately greeted by the stressed-out deputy Popovich.
The other side of the strait was attacked by Kemal's troops. The troops suffered heavy casualties and asked Alexander for reinforcements.
"Withdraw the troops on the opposite side. We don't have the ability to defend both sides of the strait at the same time." Alexander was forced to give up. The Russians in Constantinople had no sources of troops, and one of them died.
"But how do we explain it to Dingyuan Fort?" Popovich thought more carefully. If we abandon the other side of the strait, it means that supply ships in southern Africa passing through the Bosporus may be attacked, which will affect the stability of Dingyuan Fort.
Far Castle had a huge impact.
"Haha, if Ruiz doesn't want to see this happen, then he can send troops to build a position on the opposite side." Alexander is really not cheating. Compared with the Russian garrison, the Dingyuanbao troops have more advanced weapons and more advanced weapons.
With ample logistics, dealing with Kemal is no problem.
