For Europe, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and even the Sultanate of Najd can be called the "Middle East", the Balkan Peninsula is the "Near East", and the Qing Dynasty and East India are both the "Far East".
This concept was very popular before World War I, but gradually blurred after World War I. By World War II, the Near East and the Middle East had begun to be confused, and the boundaries were no longer so clear-cut.
The concept of "Near East" gradually became a part of Europe during this period. After the first Balkan War, many people predicted that the Balkan Peninsula would become the powder keg of Europe, the point between southern Africa and Tanganyika.
Disputes are nothing compared to the Balkans. No one cares about African colonies. The fate of Africa depends entirely on the political situation in Europe. No one cares about the decisions of Africans.
"The smoke of war is rising again in the Balkans. This time it's Serbia and Bulgaria. They both want to get more territory, so they can't wait. Now that the Ottoman Empire has also joined, the situation is indeed very complicated." Rock couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, national language, religion
Believing in the two major military blocs, there are too many reasons for war to break out in the Balkans.
"What can we do?" Ade pointed to the core.
"Khuzestan is part of our goal. The Umbrella Company has determined that Khuzestan has at least one billion barrels of oil, so we must control the entire Khuzestan and not allow anyone to get involved." Roque's data is mixed between true and false.
Zistan is indeed one billion barrels of oil and more, but in this day and age, geologists cannot give a definite answer.
However, this did not affect Rock's lobbying of Ade. Ade was also extremely surprised by this data.
"One billion? Are you sure it's not one million?" Adelaide couldn't accept this fact.
"Yes, it is one billion. There are at least one billion barrels of oil in the underground of Khuzestan, and maybe more. The oil reserves discovered now are less than one percent. If we lose this opportunity, then what will happen next?
Ten years or twenty years or a hundred years will not be able to make up for our mistakes." Roque will definitely not let go. No matter what the oil represents, Roque will not let go of Khuzestan.
One thing must be explained. At the beginning of the 20th century, electric vehicles are more popular than fuel vehicles. In terms of battery life and acceleration, electric vehicles have huge advantages over fuel vehicles. So why next
Electric vehicles have disappeared, while fuel vehicles have become popular. The reasons are hard to explain in just one sentence.
"Then don't hesitate. Khuzestan is now under the control of the Umbrella Company. If you want to give Umbrella more support, you must occupy Khuzestan completely and thoroughly without leaving any legacy, and without giving any chance to others."
." Adelaide is decisive. If this is the expansion of the umbrella private sector, Adelaide can turn a blind eye, but now that it involves southern Africa, Adelaide will go all out.
Some things really cannot be described in too much detail. To describe it in too much detail is to promote colonial expansion and violence. To describe it indifferently is to be illogical. The United States launches a war on the grounds of weapons of mass destruction. Even though the whole world opposes it, it is still ineffective.
, when Russia annexed Kashmir, NATO was heartbroken, but what could it do?
Only strength determines the direction of the times!
Adelaide in the 20th century already understood this truth!
"The Umbrella Company's position in Khuzestan is unshakable. The problem now is legality. If we want to completely occupy Khuzestan, we need legal provisions recognized by the world." Roque is also very helpless. He was born twenty years earlier. These problems
It's not a problem. It can't be done now. The lingering poison of the Berlin Conference is too great.
"Then wait a minute - the federal government is preparing to send troops to North Africa to maintain peace. What do you think?" Ade must seek Roque's opinion on this issue.
The so-called "maintaining peace" is probably similar to the future peacekeeping force. However, in Rock's memory, at the beginning of the twentieth century, it seems that the "peacekeeping force" has not yet appeared.
"North Africa is also a part of Africa. Although the Treaty of Cairo has been signed, the war in North Africa has not ended. In Tripoli and Cyrenaica, the guerrillas of the Ottoman Empire are still fighting against the regular army of the Kingdom of Italy. Last month, the Kingdom of Italy requested
We sent peacekeeping troops, what do you think?" Ade threw the problem to Roque.
"Maintaining peace?" Rock didn't believe it at all. The fundamental purpose of peacekeeping forces in the 21st century was not to maintain peace. He was too naive.
"What are you thinking? We have no right to send troops at all." Ade was also very bitter. Southern Africa was like a castrated warrior, with no fighting ability left.
"Oh, there's nothing else to say." Roque is a standard stickler for not letting go of rabbits.
"Have you not been committed to expanding the influence of southern Africa? Then we must take advantage of all opportunities as much as possible." Ade knew slightly. This was not a prophet of history, but a judgment based entirely on existing conditions.
"Okay, I fully cooperate -" Rock reserved his opinion, there is nothing to argue with those people in Europe.
One question must first be explained. In the current arms race, some minor problems of colonial troops can be ignored.
Southern Africa has been taking a lot of action in recent times. In fact, compared to the entire Commonwealth, Southern Africa is not too much.
Gandhi has now returned to India and launched the so-called "non-violent non-cooperation" movement. This is the focus of the British government. In comparison, even the war in the Balkans has begun to become insignificant.
"Non-violent non-cooperation", interpreted in vernacular, means "I will no longer obey your orders, but I will not use violence to resist."
To put it bluntly, if you ask me to build the road, I will not go. But if you want to chop off my head because of this, then you can do whatever you want. Anyway, we Hindus believe in an afterlife, and maybe we will become a Brahmin in the next life, and we will no longer have to endure such exploitation.
This is the mentality of Indians. Resistance does not exist, cooperation does not exist, I just leave it to you.
In the past half month, the British Parliament has been discussing every day how to deal with India's "non-violent non-cooperation". Unfortunately, there is still no unified opinion.
It's much simpler here in Rock. The Indians actually have very low requirements, as long as they have enough to eat so as not to die from hunger. However, the most indispensable thing in southern Africa is food, so the humanitarian teams in southern Africa have spread all over the country in a short period of time.
British East Indies.
"Indians have shortcomings, but they are not hopeless. Our regulations are very strict. No one has two chances for the same mistake." Thanks to Nyasaland University and Johannesburg Medical College, Rock is now confident.
Last month, the British government held a field medical exercise in London. The team sent by Southern Africa won ten first places and eleven second places in all eleven competition events.
Rock was very dissatisfied with this result. He got ten first places in eleven projects, and the only one he lost was the most important field medical treatment. This made Rock feel really unwilling.
If we only count the investment in teaching in recent years, Oxford and Cambridge may not have paid as much as Southern Africa. Rock knows that there is a huge gap between the newly born Johannesburg Medical College and Oxford and Cambridge, which have been established for a century, so he has spared no effort in investment.
, not only introduced traditional Chinese medicine to the Johannesburg Medical College, but also hired various scientific research talents with high salaries to come to southern Africa.
Of the Nobel Prizes in Medicine awarded in the previous ten years, four are now in Southern Africa.
In Nyasaland to be precise.
"I am not opposed to sending peacekeeping troops to North Africa, but the situation in North Africa cannot be solved by one or two peacekeeping troops." Roque is not optimistic about North Africa. In another time and space, until the outbreak of World War II, Italy had not completely conquered North Africa.
.
"Locke, if we are going to send peacekeeping troops, then I hope you can personally lead the team to North Africa." Ade thought further. Southern Africa now has strong military strength, but it still needs a leader.
This person is irrefutable, it must be Roque.
"You want me to go to North Africa?" Rock was really surprised.
"If you're not going - should I go?" Ade was silent for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Roark full of hope.
"Okay - I'll go!" Rock has no choice. Ade has already said this. If Rock doesn't go -
It's really a blessing and a misfortune.
A week later, the peacekeeping force led by Rock set off.
Perhaps in the world today, the peacekeeping force led by Rock may be the most well-equipped. They are equipped with armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, mortars, grenade launchers, and a variety of weapons. The earliest ones are even
It can be traced back to the early Ming Dynasty.
"Don't get entangled with them, march to Khuzestan immediately. We must get to Ahvaz before Reza Khan's troops." Reza Khan still doesn't know that his Guards have been infiltrated by the protective umbrella.
Full of holes.
Many famous intelligence agencies in history, including Britain's MI7, Israel's Mossad, Soviet Russia's Swallows, and Southern Africa's Protective Umbrella, are the unscrupulous robbers under the banner of peace, which have frequently caused our world to fall into flames.
.
As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Rock is not surprised. The UK has now begun to monitor Rock in all directions, but no evidence has been found.
