The process of shopping is relaxed and pleasant, there is no bloody plot of lià vu, even if Angel changes into civilian clothes, there are adjutant guards around her, and there is no initiative to send it to the door.

After shopping, he found a café to sit down, Barton asked for an ice cream, Anna took two bites and said it was not delicious, and then Barton came over and licked it without seeing it.

Tsk, Angel was inadvertently stuffed with dog food, and her heart was stuffed.

"So you're going to Washington too?" Angel wore a white shirt and a field trench coat on the outside, with the logo of the peacekeeping force on the sleeves and two large letters "L·N".

"Let's see, our relationship with the Americans is a bit complicated now, there is cooperation in competition, the Americans are uneasy and kind, and the Lord can see clearly." Patton understands the wolf ambitions of the Americans, and southern Africa has no appeal in terms of the navy, and it doesn't matter if he can get a little share, or if he can't.

Although the Southern African Navy performed well in the World War, the Southern African Navy continued to develop steadily according to the model designed by Roque.

If there are no accidents, the heavy cruiser should be the capital warship of the largest tonnage in Southern Africa except for aircraft carriers.

This "workhorse" is nothing compared to the whole bunch of battleships of Britain and the United States, and the Washington Naval Conference also has restrictions on aircraft carriers, and if it weren't for this, Roque would not have let people go to the Washington Naval Conference at all.

At the Washington Naval Conference in another time and space, the five participating naval powers reached the "Washington Naval Treaty", which stipulates that the ratio of the total tonnage of the capital ships of the United States, Britain, Japan, France, and Italy is 5.25:5.25:3.15:1.75:1.75——

Specifically, under the provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty, the total tonnage of naval capital ships that the United States can retain is 525,000 tons; The UK is also 525,000 tonnes; 175,000 tonnes in France; Italy 175,000 tonnes; Japan is the most profitable, with a total tonnage of 315,000 tons of naval capital ships that it can own, which is lower than that of Britain and the United States, and higher than that of France and Italy.

For aircraft carriers, the Washington Naval Treaty also has detailed provisions, which stipulate that the total tonnage of aircraft carriers owned by the United States shall not exceed 135,000 tons; The UK, like the US, is 135,000 tonnes; France and Italy have a minimum of 60,000 tons; Japan still lags behind, reaching 81,000 tons.

In addition, the Washington Naval Treaty also stipulates that the tonnage of capital ships shall not exceed 35,000 tons, and the tonnage of aircraft carriers shall not exceed 27,000 tons, but each signatory country may build two aircraft carriers not exceeding the standard of 33,000 tons without exceeding the total tonnage level of aircraft carriers stipulated in the treaty.

For capital ships, the Washington Naval Treaty interprets it as a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons and a caliber of naval guns of more than eight inches.

Eight inches is 203 millimeters.

By this standard, the heavy cruisers being built in southern Africa are not even capital ships.

The heavy cruisers under construction in southern Africa have a displacement of only 9,500 tons, and although they are equipped with 203 mm guns, they have only 6 guns, but there are more than 40 large and small anti-aircraft machine guns on board.

This is very different from the popular concept of warships, which is a monster by the standards of the British and American navies, a heavy cruiser built in southern Africa.

"Have you read the Balfour Declaration?" Angel seemed to be smiling, her expression cold and mocking.

The dean of Angel is Arthur James Balfour, the president of the British Secret Academy.

Arthur James Balfour was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1902 to 1905, and he entered the House of Commons as a Conservative in 1874, serving as Chairman of the Local Government Commission, Secretary of State for Scottish Affairs, and Secretary of State for Ireland.

During his tenure as Secretary of State for Irish Affairs, Arthur James Balfour was a staunch opponent of the Irish Self-Government movement, and was dubbed the "Bloody Balfort" for its brutal repression.

Arthur James Balfort is now Britain's foreign minister, and last year Arthur James Balfour wrote a letter to Britain's Baron Walter de Rothschild in which he promised to carve out a plot of land on the Mediterranean coast to settle Jewish refugees from Europe.

On the current Mediterranean coast, the British-controlled area is under the control of the Umbrella Company, except for Egypt.

Last year, Balfour suggested to the British government that a piece of land be set aside from the area controlled by the Umbrella Company to house European refugees.

This request was decisively rejected by the umbrella company.

Baron Rothschild saw that he could not do anything and deliberately leaked Balfour's letter to the media, so public opinion was in an uproar.

"Looked." Barton didn't look up, and after eating ice cream, he ate a cream cake, a cream pudding, drank most of the glass of freshly squeezed juice, and was eating a waffle.

These things are all asked by Anna, and the woman has a small appetite after she is pregnant, but she can't control her desire to try it, so she just eats two bites and pushes it to Barton.

Barton does not refuse to come, and it is not wasted to give as much food as he wants.

Seeing Anna's calm face and no psychological pressure, it is estimated that this kind of scene is often staged in Dartmouths.

Angel was speechless, spoiling his wife to this extent, Barton is definitely a good husband.

"And then?" Angel was still waiting to hear Barton's evaluation.

"It's nothing, then, if Your Excellency the Dean wants to send people to Egypt, don't even think about sending them to our territory, I also heard in Dartmouth that His Excellency the Dean wants to send those people to Cyprus, and I guess he also knows that it is impossible." Patton's words startled Angel and sent her to Cyprus?

Dare to send it, Angel will definitely dare to throw it all into the sea!

"That's not the way to go, or else it's all thrown into the Balkans." Angel has bad intentions, the Balkans are already chaotic enough, and it doesn't matter if it's messy anymore.

Barton didn't speak, silently giving Angel a thumbs up.

It's actually very easy to send people to the Balkans, it doesn't matter if there is no place to settle them, there is so much land in the Balkans that you can buy a large piece of land with a little money.

If you really do this, then I'm afraid that the Balkans will never be at peace, and think of so many Slavs, Huns, Romans, Lombards, all huddled together, and then thrown into a whole bunch of Jews, well, it's hilarious to think about.

However, this matter can only be thought about, it is estimated that Baron Walter Rothschild firmly disagrees, fortunately, there are many British overseas colonies, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can be allocated any piece of land, and it does not have to be in the Mediterranean.

The reason why it must be the Mediterranean is mainly because of the holy places.

Oops, this topic can't be expanded and written, we are all atheists, and we can't promote feudal superstition.

After shopping and eating, Anna began to feel sleepy, returned to Angel's house to settle Anna first, Angel and Barton came to the study to light cigars and make tea, some more sensitive topics, still have to be said in their own home.

"Your old man has become the speaker, do you have any ideas?" Anqi's tone was not envious, but more ridiculed.

Anton is still the governor of Nyasaland, and he is estimated to be for the rest of his life.

Although the governor does not sound like the prestige of the speaker, the actual power is not small, and given the influence of Nyasaland in southern Africa, Anton's power is actually not much less than that of Barker.

"What can you think? Uncle An has been the governor for so many years, and I haven't seen you have any ideas. "Patton's ambitions are in the Navy, and there really isn't much desire in other areas.

Many people don't know that the Rock Gold Mine actually has a stake in Buck.

Buck has been operating in the Transvaal for many years, and he does not need to take it by force, and the accumulated capital is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

Not to mention the gold mine, there are more than 10,000 hectares of farms under Buck's name, which is about 100 square kilometers.

In the 21st century, the world's largest private farm has about 12 million hectares, which translates to about 120,000 square kilometers.

And the world's largest non-governmental landowner is the Roman Catholic Church, which owns an incredible 71.6 million hectares of land in countries such as Germany and India, which is larger than France.

So compared to these, 10,000 hectares or 20,000 hectares is really drizzle, which is not unusual at all.

By the way, it is now very popular for wealthy people in southern Africa to buy land in Australia, and Xiao Si bought more than 5 million hectares in Australia, which translates to more than 50,000 square kilometers.

As for someone who is obsessed with land, about 17 million hectares have been purchased in Australia, mainly in the central and western regions of the Pilbara region.

The land in these two places is now worthless, but there is Australia's largest iron ore mine in this area, and 90% of Australia's iron ore ore is concentrated in this area.

So it wouldn't be surprising if one day Australian companies replaced Favart as the largest steel company in southern Africa.

"Or you are comfortable, you can take over the most advanced heavy cruiser when you return to southern Africa, and you can go to the United States for a meeting or something, I will be miserable, I have to stay in the Mediterranean every day, watching the Ottomans fight and die, do you know, now the Ottomans conservatively estimate that there are less than five million people left at most, and if they fight again, they will be wiped out." Angel really doesn't understand, it's already on this part, why can't she sit down and talk.

"So exaggerated?" Patton also did not understand that the newspapers of Europe were too busy to report on the Asia Minor Peninsula, and the vast majority of Europeans did not know about the situation in Asia Minor.

This is normal, before the outbreak of the world war, the newspapers in London preferred to report on the affairs of cabinet officials rather than on the gunfire in Sarajevo, and the indifference of Europeans can be seen.

"It's such an exaggeration, if it weren't for the League of Nations' peacekeepers maintaining order, it is estimated that more people would have died." Angel is not gloating, just describing truthfully.

Through the window, several family members of the officers and soldiers of the peacekeeping force were walking on the boulevard, a military vehicle whizzed by, several children squeaked and chased after them, and the sunlight formed pillars of light through the gaps in the leaves to shine on the ground, and the dust and mist were raised, and the sunlight was like substance.

It's better to be peaceful.
