Just as Canada was quietly changing the relevant laws, on January 15, there were some small frictions between the Canadian Border Patrol and the Michigan National Guard.

The simple reason for this is that in December last year, the Canadian National Guard captured an American who was smuggling gold, confiscated the gold, and brought the American to court.

Like southern Africa, Canada is also an important source of gold, and B.C.'s two gold rushes once attracted many people to pan for gold in Canada, when it was rumored that "gold lies at the bottom of rivers and streams, the size of pebbles".

Gold is now extremely important to the UK, which needs gold to stabilize the global currency status of the pound sterling and London's status as a global financial center, so the Canadian government has cracked down on gold smuggling.

On January 10, Americans who smuggled gold were sentenced to 15 years in prison by the Supreme Court of Canada.

On the 15th, the Canadian Border Patrol, which was patrolling the U.S.-Canada border, was attacked by the Michigan National Guard, which used stones and sticks to attack the Canadian Border Patrol.

The border patrol team was outnumbered, some weapons and horses were "lost" in the clashes, one person was seriously injured and four were slightly injured.

"Lost? It was captured by the US National Guard, and the National Guard is the US militia to put it bluntly, and our dignified Border Patrol cannot even beat the US militia, is there a shame in it? Julian Bean was furious at the Joint Ministerial Conference of Canada, Prime Minister Arthur was in London for the Imperial Conference, and Canada's domestic affairs were temporarily in charge of Governor General Julian Bean.

"Your Excellency the Governor, our Border Patrol is also a militia, and it has fewer troops and backward equipment, you may find it hard to imagine that our Border Patrol is still equipped with single-shot rifles-" The Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Defense Forces, Arthur Kerry, was also helpless, the Americans had been planning for a long time, and at the beginning of the conflict, there were only a dozen people on both sides, and they were evenly matched, and the Canadian Border Patrol still had a little advantage.

And then all of a sudden, hundreds of Americans appeared, and the Canadian Border Patrol was wiped out.

During the World War, Julian Bean served as commander of the Fifth Army of the British Expeditionary Force, and Arthur Kerry succeeded Marcos Lloyd as commander-in-chief of the Canadian Expeditionary Force after Marcos Lloyd left his post due to illness.

Compared to Julian Bing, Arthur Kerry was ill-fated, and after returning to Canada, he was accused by the Canadian government of the heavy losses of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

In court, Arthur Kerry argued and insisted that he was innocent.

When the court acquitted Arthur Kerry, Arthur Kerry was carried out of the courtroom by the veterans on their shoulders and marched.

In the army, Arthur Kerry was still very prestigious.

"Arthur, now is not the time to shirk responsibility, we must note that the ambitions of the Americans are becoming more and more obvious, so we must strengthen our vigilance, reorganize our armaments, and prepare for war with the Americans." Julian Bean has a tough attitude, and he must resolutely fight back against the Americans, and cannot back down.

In the general perception of the British, the United States is a country of rogue bandits.

In fact, it is not wrong to make concessions to the Americans, and if Canada retreats, the United States will gain an inch, and in the end Canada will still be forced into a corner and have no way to retreat.

"Julian, Canada can't afford war right now—" Arthur Kerry bitterly felt inside.

The situation in Canada is a bit peculiar.

There are two major groups in Canada, one is British and the other is French.

The British are better, it is natural to fight for the British Empire, the martial spirit is okay, and they are still very enthusiastic to join the army.

The French are a bit worrying, and the French in Canada immigrated to Canada from France to escape the war on the European continent.

As a result, when I arrived in Canada, I felt that Canada's situation was not necessarily much better than that of France, which was constantly facing the threat of Germany, but was barely evenly matched.

Canada is facing nothing short of devastating.

During the World War, French people in Quebec, Canada, were called "inferior people" by Arthur Mehn, then Minister of the Interior, for resisting conscription.

"Our finances are not in a good position to raise enough money-" Treasury Secretary Douglas Domingo has a blank face, can we straighten out the armament, the Canadian government has no money, and London will pay?

"Canada is a huge country, and there is a long border between the United States and Canada, and if we want to defend every inch of the country, then we need at least a million troops." Defense Minister Jean Gordon smiled bitterly, Canada has a total of only 8 million people and a million troops?

Dream!

"It's not 1814—" concluded Arthur Kerry.

In 1812, the Second War of Independence between Britain and the United States broke out.

The United States launched an attack on Canada, and the Canadians actively participated in the battle to meet the American army, and during the war, the Canadian militia performed excellently, fought bravely, and won or lost with the American army.

In 1814, Britain finally defeated Napoleon in Europe, freeing up more troops for the North American theater.

In the same year, the British occupied the U.S. state of Maine, followed by an invasion of Washington, D.C., and U.S. President James Madison was forced to flee to Virginia.

In retaliation for the burning of York City (Toronto) by the U.S. military in 1813, the British army and the Canadian militia burned down the U.S. presidential mansion after looting Washington, which is the famous "burning of the White House" in history.

After the war, in order to cover up the traces left by the burning of the White House, the U.S. government completely painted the presidential residence with white paint, so it became the "White House".

In 1814, the Canadian militia combined with the British forces was able to capture Washington.

A hundred years have passed, Canada now has a population of 8 million, and the United States has a population of 100 million, and the gap in national strength is still so big.

To put it mildly, the United States can drown Canadians with a single spit.

"So what? A hundred years ago, when the same war was confronted, where did those brave Canadians go? "Julian Bean shouted, brothers, if you die in battle, I will take care of your wife and daughter—

Arthur Kerry doesn't speak, after the world war, the pension promised by Britain has not been fulfilled yet, and the current Canadians are not easy to fool.

As for the brave Canadians a hundred years ago, the grass on the grave has grown taller.

Hit and fight, what to fight?

In case of a fight, it may really become an enemy with maces, and we have a heavenly spirit cover.

"We need help from London." Arthur Kerry still has integrity.

"I'm afraid London can't be trusted, and it's southern Africa that can really help us," Jean Gordon said realistically.

"Southern Africa's offer is too high—" there are concerns.

"It's better to give the benefits to southern Africa than to be robbed by the Americans." Someone's flesh is rotten and it's all in the pot.

At this time, Julian Bing's secretary walked over quickly and whispered in Julian Bing's ear.

"Please let him in—" Julian Bean had a complicated expression.

The door to the conference room opened, and it was -

Not walking, it was Marcos Lloyd, an old friend of Roque, who came in in a wheelchair.

Marcos Lloyd has been bedridden since he resigned due to illness during the World War, and has not been seen in public for a long time.

Marcos Lloyd is very prestigious in Canada, and when he saw Marcos Lloyd, the cabinet members attending the meeting got up one after another, and Arthur Kerry simply took Marcos Lloyd's wheelchair and pushed it directly next to Julian Bing.

"Thank you—" Marcos Lloyd's face was puffy and age-spotted, and his body was so weak that it was difficult to express a sentence in its entirety, and his speech was staccato.

"Gentlemen, Canada - it has reached the most dangerous time, this is the time for us to unite and abandon our prejudices, I am an old friend of Locke, I have sent a telegram to Locke, I hope Locke will lend a hand, we can't do nothing, we have to do something-" Marcos Lloyd insisted on his illness, and he was still worried about Canada when the oil ran out.

The hearts of the cabinet members must be mixed.

"I propose that all discriminatory laws against ethnic Chinese be abolished as soon as possible, and that the Southern African military be invited to Canada to strengthen exchanges." Arthur Kerry can still take into account the dignity of the Canadian government, and "strengthening exchanges" is certainly more acceptable than "asking for assistance".

"Agreed!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded—"

This time, there are no different voices, and dignity is not really important under the premise of life or death.

Moreover, when the Second Boer War broke out in southern Africa and needed help, Canada also sent troops.

Now Canada needs help, and it is only natural for Southern Africa to send troops.

So there is no question of "foreign troops stationed on the mainland" at all, Southern Africa and Canada are both overseas dominions of the Commonwealth, one family!

After receiving a telegram from Marcos Lloyd, Roque immediately ordered the Walvis Bay Fleet, which had been on standby in the port of Luanda, to immediately set off for the Nova Scotia Peninsula in Canada to take over the army and naval base in Halifax.

The so-called "assistance in defense" does not actually require southern Africa to send troops to fill every inch of space on the US-Canada border, but only needs southern Africa to make a gesture to show its attitude.

As long as southern Africa has troops stationed in Canada, then if a war breaks out between the United States and Canada, southern Africa will definitely enter the war, which will be a huge threat to the United States.

It is easy for the United States to bully Canada, but if you add the British Navy and the Southern African Army, it is really enough for Americans to drink a pot.

If one is not done well, the history of "burning the White House" will repeat itself again.

At the same time that the Walvis Bay Fleet was heading for Nova Scotia, the 1st Southern African Armoured Division was also embarking at Walvis Bay.

The 1st Armored Division went to Canada with only one regiment, one regiment was enough, and this regiment was equipped with the most advanced "Biao Cavalry" medium tanks, both in terms of defense and firepower output, which were a grade higher than the "Light Cavalry" light tanks equipped during the World War.
