Leaving the makeshift camp, Luke Silva went to Leonard Wood and asked him to improve the conditions in the makeshift camp, raise the standard of diet, improve hygiene, and provide better security for the southern Africans in the makeshift camp.

"We've done our best to provide the best camp possible, and we're not abusing the yellow monkeys," Leonard Wood denied.

"Wait, Your Excellency the Governor, you just used the inappropriate word—" Luke Silva pointed out at once, if you use "yellow man", what is "yellow monkey"?

It is ironic that such a discriminatory word could come out of the mouth of a dignified governor.

It's also normal that the word "Yellow Peril" still comes out of the mouth of an emperor, and you can't expect too much from the quality of these people.

During his time in the Philippines, Leonard Wood was blamed for his repressive rule, a complete racist who didn't target Filipinos, he targeted all Asians.

"You Brits don't use the word 'Nalgae' very often, either?" Leonard Wood laughed at fifty steps and laughed at a hundred steps, everyone is the same dog, no one should laugh at anyone.

"In our southern Africa, more Africans are used." Luke Silva made a clear connection with Britain at this time, in fact, in Britain, not many people use the word Nalgae.

Compared with the Americans, the British still have to point their faces, and if the Americans are real villains, then the British are hypocrites.

"Hahahaha, that's good, it's very British." Leonard Wood laughed, the United States is indeed the son of Britain, but the blue is better than the blue.

"Your Excellency the Governor, we are talking about the temporary camp." Luke Silva no longer dwells on these details.

"There's nothing to say, since those yellow people have arrived in the Philippines, they have to abide by the laws of the Philippines." Leonard Wood finally changed his tune, he wasn't crazy, he knew that enough was enough.

"They were forcibly brought to Quezon by you, not that they came to the Philippines of their own free will." Luke Silva emphasized.

"So what, when the investigation is clear, if the human resources company is not abusing the Filipino workers, they can naturally leave." Leonard Wood is still playing the same old story.

After the impoundment of the migrant boat, many Filipino workers on board were taken to the hospital, and the Americans did not allow southern African doctors to contact those "Filipino patients", so the specific situation in southern Africa is not clear, and what the Americans say is what they say.

While Luke Silva was running around for the detained migrants, another accident occurred on November 25.

Several East Indian fishermen clashed with several Filipino fishermen while fishing, and this time the East Indian fishermen had the advantage in terms of both the number of people and the tonnage of the fishing boat, so the Filipino fishermen were unlucky, not only the fishing boat was hit and sunk, but also the boat boss and two crew members died unexpectedly in order to save the boat.

This is not an accident, the East Indies and the Philippines are very close to each other, and there are frequent conflicts between fishermen in the two countries, but there have never been such serious consequences before.

After the incident, Leonard Wood summoned the East India ambassador to the Philippines and demanded that the East Indies thoroughly investigate the incident, severely punish those responsible, and compensate the Filipino fishermen for their losses.

"Here's the thing, the Filipino fishermen illegally entered the East Indies to fish, and our fishermen tried to expel the Filipino fishermen from the waters, but they were shot at by the Filipino fishermen – our fishermen fought back and sank the fishing boat driven by the Filipino fishermen, and the cause of this incident was entirely on the Philippine side, and we were the victims." The East India ambassador to the Philippines, Huang Tingcan, came to Luke Silva after leaving the Governor's Palace, hoping that southern Africa would provide the necessary help to the East Indies.

Luke Silva is also the Southern African Ambassador to the East Indies.

There is also no way, there is a lack of professional diplomats in southern Africa, so only one diplomat can serve as an ambassador to several countries at the same time, Luke Silva is the ambassador to the Philippines and the East Indies, and he is also the ambassador of southern Africa to the French East Indies.

"It's easy to just sink the ship, but now that people are dead, it's going to be a lot of trouble to deal with." Luke Silva's head is big, and there are waves of unevenness, and this has not yet brought back the detained immigrants, and this incident has happened again, what an eventful season.

"We can give some humane compensation to the Filipino fishermen who died, but it is definitely not compensation." Huang Tingcan also wants to calm things down, but things are not as simple as he imagined.

"What did Governor Wood say?" Luke Silva wants to determine Leonard Wood's attitude.

"Governor Wood was furious, and he made it clear that if we don't apologize and pay reparations, then the U.S. forces will punish the East Indies in their own way." Huang Tingcan frowned, the United States and the Philippines still attach great importance to it, not only stationed an army, but also a fleet.

Relatively speaking, the armed forces of the East Indies were relatively backward, with only four infantry divisions in the entire East Indies, not a single warship, and only a few coastal patrol boats.

Southern Africa has an air force battalion stationed in Coconut City (Jakarta), equipped with more than 40 fighter and torpedo planes, but this is a drop in the bucket compared to the nearly 2.7 million square kilometers of East Indies.

During World War, the East Indies sent troops to occupy German colonies in the Pacific.

After the World War, these colonies were entrusted to the East Indies by the League of Nations, so the territory of the East Indies was nearly 2.7 million square kilometers.

"Don't worry, if a conflict breaks out between the East Indies and the Philippines, Southern Africa will not ignore it." Luke Silva solemnly undertook that this was also part of the Treaty of Friendship between the South and the East.

After the end of the World War, Southern Africa and the East Indies, as well as the Sultanate of Najd, signed the Treaty of Friendship between South Africa and East India, which stipulated that in the event of war in any of the three countries, the other two countries must provide due assistance and, if necessary, join directly.

The necessity here refers to the invasion of the country's territory by the enemy, and the enemy has invaded the mainland.

"If war breaks out between us and the United States, will the British Empire join?" Huang Tingcan still had illusions about the British Empire.

"It's up to the Americans to choose." Luke Silva smirked.

Even Huang Tingcan had illusions about the British Empire, and the Americans must have worried that with the entry of southern Africa into the war, the British Empire and even the British Commonwealth would not be dragged into the war.

In that case, it would be an early outbreak of World War II.

This result is probably something that Americans do not want to see.

Therefore, Luke Silva estimates that if the East Indies do not meet Leonard Wood's demands, then Leonard Wood estimates that Leonard Wood will indeed retaliate, but it will control the retaliation to a certain extent and will not lead to the expansion of the scale of the war.

To put it bluntly, it will not attack the East Indies proper, although Southern Africa does not have a fleet in the East Indies, Britain does have a fleet in the Far East.

Of course, it is not Luke Silva's decision on this matter, Luke Silva sent a telegram to Pretoria that night, and it is still the federal government that has the final say on which step Southern Africa will take.

When Philip got the telegram, Roque also received the telegram at the same time, and then Roque received a call from Philip.

"Why is this happening?" Philip could never have imagined that relations between Southern Africa and the United States had deteriorated to such an extent.

"Normally, the British Empire has ceded world hegemony, the United States may become the next British Empire, and we in southern Africa may also be possible." Roque had been prepared for the loss of the German threat, and sooner or later the contradictions between Southern Africa and the United States would surface.

It's like the relationship between Britain and France.

"So what do we do now?" Philip was in turmoil, not only because of the hostility between Southern Africa and the United States, but also because of Roque's alarmism.

In fact, even if Britain relinquishes global hegemony, it will take a long time for Southern Africa or the United States to replace it.

Objectively speaking, in another time and space, if there were no two world wars, it is really hard to say whether the Cold War would have formed.

Or that the Cold War will still take shape, but it is difficult to say who the two sides of the confrontation will be.

The same is true of this time and space, if there is no World War II, then whether it is southern Africa or the United States, it will take at least forty or fifty years to replace Britain.

"I'll send Herbert a telegram later—" Roque sighed, a telegram Roque really didn't want to send if he could.

It must be said that after Hoover was elected president, he and Roque still had a tacit understanding, although there were constant conflicts between southern Africa and the United States, but they did not rise to the level of war, and both sides were relatively restrained.

Now Roque took the initiative to send a telegram to Hoover of far-reaching significance, but Roque did not feel much embarrassed, after all, Hoover is the president, and he still has to give face.

"Send it now, send it now—" Philip was anxious, curious to know Hoover's attitude.

"Are you sure?" Roque was surprised.

Southern Africa and the United States were thousands of miles apart, and although the speed of the telegram was fast, it took at least two hours to go back and forth, and Philip probably could not wait for Hoover's reply.

"Of course I'm sure, I'm going to stay up late today!" Philip is righteous and awe-inspiring, and his clothes look like he has worked hard for his work.

Roque was speechless, he hadn't seen Philip work so hard.

Fortunately for Roque, the telegram had not yet been prepared, and the Secretariat had sent Hoover's telegram first.

Hoover invited Philip to visit the United States in due course.

"To go or not?" Philip now has no backbone, and Roque has to be consulted for this kind of thing.

"Go, of course you have to go, some things are better to say in person, please." Roque was of course suggesting to go, as there is a lack of effective communication between Southern Africa and the United States, and a visit is a good option.
