The United States and Japan are both Roque's henchmen, one directly threatens the British Commonwealth, and the other directly threatens that-

Roque's British identity also limited Roque's contact with the Chinese.

Otherwise, with the strength of southern Africa, Japan would have been pressed to the ground long ago.

If the United States tore up the Washington Naval Treaty, it would be exactly what Roque wanted.

Roque didn't care whether war would break out between the United States and Japan, and without the Washington Naval Treaty, Southern Africa would be able to develop its navy in an upright manner, and those "Congo"-class battleships would no longer have to hide it.

By the way, among the four "Congo"-class battle cruisers, the "Congo", which has made the fastest progress, has now completed more than 80 percent of its hull, and it is expected to be launched smoothly before the end of the year.

This is slightly slower than the speed at which warships are built in southern Africa.

However, the "Congo" class battlecruisers after the overhaul have changed beyond recognition compared with the previous "Normandy" class battleships, and it is not too much to say that they are starting from scratch, and the slow progress is understandable.

When the battlecruiser "Congo" was completed, it would join the newly formed Atlantic Fleet and become Patton's flagship.

Also assigned to the Atlantic Fleet is the aircraft carrier USS Orange, which is under construction.

The aircraft carrier "Orange" is the third aircraft carrier of the "Transvaal" class, the first two are "Transvaal", and "Cape", and the fourth is "Nyasaland".

From this ranking, you can see the status of Nyasaland in southern Africa.

Xiao Si is very dissatisfied with this ranking, for the Transvaal and Nyasaland, Xiao Si has nothing to say, even Cape Xiao Si can accept it, what the hell is Orange? Just because Orange is the state of Bloemfontein, can Orange be above Rhodesia?

That's a head-scratching question.

Because of the large disagreement between Roque and Stimson, the originally planned meeting for the next day was simply canceled.

Curzon invited Stimson to dinner.

Roque goes to see Ade and Kitchener.

"There can be no concessions to the Americans, and it was because of London's concessions that we lost the thirteen states of North America in the first place." Kitchener was resolute, and if possible, Kitchener would be eager to resume colonization of the United States.

No way, my lord, times have changed.

"Times are no longer the same, and we must be cautious when balancing the United States, and we must not be self-defeating." Ade: To face the reality, the war potential of the United States is still very large, strictly speaking, it is now close to southern Africa, and it does not have the strength to confront the United States.

To put it bluntly, there is a gap in human resources, and in recent years, the average annual population growth rate in southern Africa has actually been above 10 percent, including immigrants.

Even so, the total population of southern Africa has only just crossed the 40 million mark, which is still far from the 110 million in the United States.

Therefore, even if southern Africa has abundant resources, sufficient strategic depth, and developed technological strength, without the blessing of the entire British Commonwealth, southern Africa will still be unable to confront the United States.

"I am prepared to cancel the construction of military bases in the Bahamas and appropriately reduce the garrison in Halifax, but the withdrawal of troops is absolutely impossible, even if we can only keep the symbolic Atlantic Fleet, it will form a sufficient deterrent to the United States." Roque has his own ideas, and the advice of Kitchina and Ade is for Roque's reference only.

"Very well, do what you want, no matter what you do, we old fellows will support you-" Kitchener favored Roque, in fact, there are many outstanding young people in southern Africa, but there are few who come to visit Kitchener and Ade as often as Roque.

Although Kitchin and Ade are now standard cold stoves, it is still very beneficial to burn cold stoves.

Kitchener and Ade still have a huge influence on the current southern Africa and even the Commonwealth, both of whom have served the Commonwealth all their lives, and their protégés are all over the world.

Of course, Kitchener and Ade didn't all bring benefits to Roque, such as Curzon -

Roque was now curious about what Curzon would talk to Stimson about, and Curzon would never have any exchange of interests with the United States.

Hardly.

"Locke, you have to learn to use the help of London, the threat facing the Commonwealth cannot be carried by you alone." The Ade people are old and fine, and the crying child has milk to eat.

"Uh-huh—I understand—" Roque nodded like a chick, deciding to send a telegram to the king when he turned around.

Roque worked so hard, but it was all for the British Empire, King George V couldn't stand by and watch the excitement, he had to help, at least he had to give some benefits.

A little later, Curzon and Stimson's conversation was written as a report on Roque's desk.

Curzon and Stimson don't touch too much on the sensitive U.S.-Canada relationship, but more on the economic side.

Curzon hoped that the United States and Australia would cooperate more closely to attract American capital to invest in Australia, and Curzon was willing to open the market to the United States.

This is a major positive for the United States, which has always been monolithic, and the Americans have tried their best to open the Commonwealth market.

Now that Australia has taken the initiative to "surrender to sincerity," it is indeed a pleasant surprise for the United States.

"What is there to invest in Australia?" Sidney Milner is relatively new to Australia.

Sidney Milner left the Palace of Justice to work with Roque, now as Minister of the Marquis of Nyasaland.

To put it bluntly, it is the general manager next to Roque, the kind that is officially recognized.

"Probably the farm—" Roque chuckled.

For Roque, there is huge room for investment in Australia, a "country that sits on a minecart", and there are still many treasures in the territory that are in an untapped state.

For the United States, Australia is chicken ribs.

Australia is a vast and sparsely populated country, with a market of more than 5 million people, which is not even a fraction of that of southern Africa.

Australia's domestic mineral resources are not clear to the Americans.

The United States values Australia's Commonwealth identity.

The fortresses were breached from within, and the United States saw Australia as an opportunity to open the Commonwealth market.

"Nima eats inside and out—" Sidney Milner scolded, hating this kind of traitor the most.

Viscount Gladstone was at a loss for what was going on in Australia and had to seek help from southern Africa to bring some change to Australia.

The situation facing Curzon now is more severe than that faced by Viscount Gladstone at the beginning, Viscount Gladstone also had the help of southern Africa, and Australia after Curzon took office can be described as embattled, so Curzon had to turn to the United States to seek a breakthrough.

"To cooperate with the Americans is to seek the skin of the tiger." Sidney Milner's views of the United States were heavily influenced by Roque.

But for Curzon, perhaps working with southern Africa is the way to fight the tiger.

Working with the United States, at least the United States has limited influence on Australia.

By cooperating with Southern Africa, Australia will become a vassal of Southern Africa, and it may even be annexed by Southern Africa in the future.

"Prepare the car to go to the Palace of Justice." Roark went to find Philip and didn't forget to bring Curzon and Stimson's chat history.

——

In the Prime Minister's Office of the Palace of Justice, Philip read the chat record with a solemn expression.

In fact, the core interests of southern Africa are in the Indian Ocean, and Australia's position in the Indian Ocean region is very important, and the United States is seeking new breakthroughs in Asia.

"What do you think?" Philip asked Roque for his opinion.

"Curzon is simply insane, our relationship with the United States is so sharp, but Curzon wants to cooperate with the United States, he is not only hurting the relationship between Southern Africa and Australia, this kind of behavior will even affect the interests of the entire British Commonwealth." Roque is really not alarmist, the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in an anthill, and this kind of behavior must be resolutely combated.

"This bastard, I'm going to send a telegram to Your Majesty." Philip's first thought was the complaint.

Yes, Curzon was appointed by George V, so George V was responsible for Curzon's actions.

"Send another letter to Prime Minister Hughes inviting him to visit Southern Africa." Roque is insidious, and during the tenure of Viscount Gladstone, a consortium of southern Africans, led by the Nyasaland Company and the South African Company, made a lot of investments in Australia, so Billy Hughes had a good relationship with Southern Africa.

Compared to Viscount Gladstone, Curzon had a stronger desire for power.

The main reason why Curzon was "dispatched" to Australia was that he failed to compete with Stanley Baldwin for prime minister, and British politics is also a king and a loser, and if he fails, he will bear the consequences of failure.

Even if he was sent to Australia, Curzon was still unwilling to be lonely, smart people knew that cooperating with the United States was not in the interests of the British Commonwealth, Curzon still went to the dark because of personal grudges, and Billy Hughes probably would have ideas.

"Hah, that's right." Philip Daigo's empowerment and only seeking a complaint from George V may not have made much difference, and the departure of Viscount Gladstone has fully proved that London has enough vigilance against the expansion of southern Africa.

If the Australian government is also unhappy with Curzon, then Curzon's situation is very dangerous, and George V can impose some restrictions on southern Africa in order to contain it.

But if this caused the Australian government and London to drift away from Germany, then George V could not afford this outcome.

See, the political struggle is not as complicated as imagined, and with both the local and Australian prongeds, Curzon will not become the shortest-lived governor of Australia.
