When Southern Africa is consolidating its surrounding resources, the world is changing.

On March 20, the United States held a general election, and Hoover was successfully elected as the 29th president of the United States.

On March 25, Stanley Baldwin succeeded Andrew Bona Law as the 55th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Despite the rise of southern Africa, the United States and Britain remain the two most powerful countries in the world.

With the successive ascension of Hoover and Stanley Baldwin, Roque was surprised to find that the international environment facing southern Africa was improving, and the first thing Hoover did after taking office was to cancel the "Chinese Exclusion Act" and at the same time began to contact Canada, and the tension on the US-Canada border gradually eased.

After Stanley Baldwin took office, Britain's attitude towards the Southern African Union also changed significantly, after London clearly expressed its opposition to the establishment of the Southern African Union, and in Stanley Baldwin's inaugural speech, the Southern African Union became an important force in maintaining African order, which marked that Britain was finally willing to face the rise of Southern Africa head-on.

Southern Africa has reciprocated the favor, and Stanley Baldwin has made public gestures, and Southern Africa cannot fail to do so.

As a result, Southern Africa waived part of the interest on loans due to the British Empire for 1921.

It's just interest.

Or part of the interest.

Heck, when did the British Empire have fallen to such a point.

It's not all good news, Britain can accept the formation of the Southern African Union, but it can't accept Australia and New Zealand joining Southern Africa.

On the eve of the establishment of the Southern African Union, Viscount Gladstone was relieved of his position as Governor of Australia and New Zealand and transferred back to the British mainland for another appointment, the new Governor of Australia and New Zealand was the former Governor General in India, Marquis Curzon.

This news is very unfavorable to southern Africa, Curzon and Kitchener have a bad relationship, after serving as the governor of Australia and New Zealand, it will definitely affect the relationship between Australia and southern Africa, just after being appointed, Curzon people are still in London, they directly withdrew Australia and New Zealand's application to join the Southern African Union, and then in an interview with the "Times" in London, claiming to increase the introduction of immigrants, strengthen cooperation with members of the British Commonwealth, and make Australia another jewel in the crown of the British king.

Hey, isn't it more appropriate to have another southern Africa?

As for Curzon's ambitions, Roque said he was not worried.

Curzon introduced the population, and the only way was through India.

Considering the complicated situation in India, Roque was not optimistic about Curzon's decision.

India's Dalits, Curzon is most likely not to look down on.

And the Brahmins at the top, who are the emperors of the people in India, enjoy privileges that cannot be enjoyed outside India, and have countless Dalits to drive, why should they go to Australia and add bricks and tiles to Curzon's ideals?

Also in March, another incident occurred, when France, under the pretext that Germany did not pay reparations, sent troops together with Belgium to occupy the German Ruhr industrial area, resulting in the "Ruhr endangerment".

The root cause of the Ruhr crisis lies in the long-standing sharp contradictions between Germany and France.

France did not achieve the goal of completely dismembering Germany at the Paris Peace Conference, and the German threat to France still existed, and with Germany's population size, technological strength, and the intentional or unintentional support of Britain and the United States, it was not difficult for Germany to make a comeback.

In order to completely suppress Germany, France took a desperate step and joined Belgium to invade Germany's Ruhr industrial area.

"What do the French think? Their invasion of the Ruhr industrial zone will not bring any benefit at all, but will cause other countries to be wary and increase their aid to Germany, which can also use this opportunity to seek international support, and wait and see, the French are mostly self-defeating. By "other countries," Ade is clearly referring to Britain and the United States.

Ade is half German, so he still has compassion for Germany.

The French were too stupid to invade the Ruhr area so openly, clearly giving people a handle.

It's true that the European continent is southern Africa.

The problem is that France is not the only one in continental Europe, and there is Britain next to it.

"We gave so much money to Germany, and Germany didn't use it to repay the loan?" Roque had been in southern Africa all this time, and he really didn't know what was going on on the continent.

After the Treaty of Versailles, Germany borrowed from southern Africa and the United States to pay various reparations, and in the past two years, Germany received nearly 200 million rand from southern Africa alone.

"The Germans can honestly repay the money, and the reparations that France received from Germany after the World War added up to less than 10 million, which is much more difficult than squeezing toothpaste." Kitchener was in a relaxed mood, evil Germans, greedy Frenchmen, cunning Englishmen -

Well, none of this has anything to do with Kitchener, a seventy-year-old man who is on the verge of retirement and can't fish every day and has to go to the market to buy it to save face.

"We won't get our loan back to Germany, will we?" Roque was suddenly worried, afraid that the Germans would turn their faces and refuse to recognize people like the Russians.

Russia knows that it is in the trap, so southern Africa did not fall into the pit.

It is really not clear whether Germany has defaulted on its debts, and there seem to be twists and turns in the middle, and it will not be paid off until the 21st century.

"Dare! If you dare to pay the bills, we will have another world war! "Kitchener is domineering, 200 million rand, how much tilapia is enough, enough for Kitchener to fish for a thousand years.

In fact, Roque doesn't care if Germany will pay off its debts, and now Roque is using "superpowers" less and less, and southern Africa has grown in size, so there is no need for Roque to pretend to be a magic stick all the time.

On April 1, Southern Africa, the Republic of Congo, the Kingdom of Congo, the Kingdom of Mozambique, West Africa, and Madagascar jointly announced the establishment of the Southern African Union in Pretoria.

After the establishment of the Southern African Union, with a total area of 9.91 million square kilometers and a total population of 65 million, in the past 1920, the total GDP reached 5 billion rand, which instantly attracted the attention of the world.

In the evening, representatives of the member States of the Southern African Union and the representatives of the countries who had come to congratulate them gathered at the Palace of Justice for a celebratory dinner hosted by Philip to thank the delegates.

Roque, dressed in military uniform, and Phyllis appeared at the banquet site on time at seven o'clock in the evening, and immediately became the focus of the banquet.

After the establishment of the Southern African Union, Ade appointed Roque as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Southern African Union, which means that the current Southern African Union, whether it is the army or the police, as long as it can hold a gun, it is under Roque's control.

"Congratulations Locke, now you have a suitable excuse to take possession of those four 'Normandy' class battleships." The new French Prime Minister Georges Legge congratulated him sourly, his position is magical, and almost every time he appears, the candidate will be replaced.

"No, no, no, that's the Kingdom of Mozambique and West Africa, and it's not owned by Southern Africa." Roque immediately clarified that Roque's name was signed in black and white on the "Washington Naval Treaty", and words could not be said nonsense.

"Hmph, don't talk about the Washington Naval Treaty, we all know what the actual situation is." Georges Legge felt sour in his heart, France also benefited a lot from the Washington Naval Conference, and the tonnage of the capital ships was a lot, but unfortunately none of them have started construction until now, and it is still a bunch of old-fashioned warships supporting the scene.

There was also no movement, including the submarines insisted on by France.

During the Washington Naval Conference, France insisted on increasing the number of submarines and forming a strong submarine force to ensure French interests in the Mediterranean, for which Roque and Albert Sarau almost quarreled, and the meeting was interrupted for a time.

The result was a naval conference in Washington, where no agreement was reached on submarines.

France got its wish, only to look back and find that it simply did not have the funds and strength to form a submarine force.

So what is Britain stirring up?

France is!

"If you can't use up the tonnage of your aircraft carriers, you can consider transferring some to Southern Africa, I don't mind hanging in the name of the French Navy." Roque joked that France got 70,000 tons of gross tonnage of aircraft carriers at the Washington Naval Conference, and now it only costs 25,000, the one ordered from southern Africa, which was just delivered last month.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps it was the aircraft carriers that gave the French confidence, so the French would unite with Belgium to invade the Ruhr area.

Well, if that were the case, then the sins of Southern Africa would be great.

"How much can you pay?" George Leger's eyes lit up immediately.

This time it's Roque's turn to be embarrassed, you really dare to sell your sister!

Even if France dares to sell it, Southern Africa will not dare to buy it.

Roque wanted to mess with it when he snorted, but George Legge didn't let Roque go.

"The port of Saint-Roque has been built, tsk, Saint-Roque-" George Legge sighed infinitely, people are called "saints" when they are dead, and Roque is still alive, this is "Saint-Roque", it is simply not a son of man.

"Has it already been built? That's great news. "Roque doesn't care if he is holy or not, this time is too busy, and Roque doesn't have time to pay attention to the progress of St. Roque.

The corners of George Leger's mouth twitched, and he looked at Roque with a rather unkind look.

When France decided to give the Dunes of Procouste to Southern Africa, they did not expect that Southern Africa would be able to build the Dunes of Duprocouste into the current São Roque.

With an area of only about 20 square kilometres, the French government would not see much of a situation in southern Africa, even if it was strong.

As a result, southern Africa gave full play to its subjective initiative, and doubled the area through land reclamation, and then a group of people followed suit, and now the port area of Saint-Roque is still 40 square kilometers, but the total area has reached 150 square kilometers.

"Locke, congratulations, how many countries are you marshal now? Seven, or eight? Neville, who came to congratulate on behalf of Britain, was envious of Roque, who was already the marshal of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the World War, and now there are several more.
