1143 Brother Bing
The biggest difference between Bowden and Viscount Gladstone is that Bowden is a native of the colony, and Viscount Douglas is a British official stationed in the colony, so there are some things that Roque and Bowden have the same position and have reservations in the face of Viscount Gladstone.
The two were willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer, and soon agreed on the details of the cooperation.
Southern Africa will send an armoured brigade to Canada to assist Canadian troops in their defence and to train Canadian troops.
While bearing the military expenses of the garrison, Canada spent R35 million to purchase various weapons and equipment from southern Africa in batches, including at least 100 of the latest fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft.
At the same time, Bowden pledged to firmly support southern Africa in its bid for its share of aircraft carriers.
Not only from the United Kingdom, but also from the Southern African Naval Conference.
Yes, although Southern Africa is part of the British Commonwealth, Roque will still try his best to fight for the interests of Southern Africa, and with its contribution during the world war, Southern Africa is also qualified to make its own claims.
Britain must have supported this as well, and if southern Africa could win over additional naval forces, it would be an effective addition to the British Empire.
Again, if the next world war breaks out, then southern Africa will also have a preconceived position, which is a good thing for the British Empire, at least southern Africa, which can help the British Empire to maintain its interests in the Indian Ocean and South Asia.
After sending Bowden away, Roque did not forget to ask Feige to contact Hoover and Albert Salau, as well as Carlo Shan Ze of Italy, and Roque was busy in the next period, and in order to achieve his goal, Roque needed to convince more people and get more support.
Albert Sarau was the French Minister of Colony and Carlo Shan Ze was the Senator of the Kingdom of Italy, and they were the head of the French delegation and the head of the Italian delegation, respectively.
While Roque was meeting with representatives of various countries, the heavy cruiser "Johannesburg" was docked in New York Harbor.
The standard crew of the heavy cruiser "Johannesburg" was 503 people, of which more than 60 percent were of Chinese descent.
The United States is still in the period of the "Chinese Exclusion Act", in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Patton strictly manages the crew of the "Johannesburg" heavy cruiser, especially the officers and men of Chinese descent, who are not allowed to go ashore unless there are special needs.
After all, they were all young men of good blood, and this ban did not exist in name only for too long, and it was impossible to keep all these energetic young men on the ship, many of whom were coming to New York for the first time, and it was not a problem to keep people on the ship all the time.
"You guys are going too far, why do you all wear civilian clothes and I have to wear military uniforms?" Sergeant Zhu Shun was in a very unhappy mood, he went to New York City with several British officers and soldiers to have some fun, but he didn't expect that everyone else was wearing civilian clothes, and Zhu Shun had to wear military uniforms.
Don't get me wrong, it's just drinking.
Southern Africa has very strict regulations on military discipline, and it can be said that it is reasonable to drink some alcohol, after all, it is the quintessence of Britain, and you can't even think about other aspects of fun, once you find out that you will be expelled directly, there is no emotion to talk about.
The Southern African Navy came to New York on duty, and the discipline requirements were stricter, and the officers of the "Johannesburg" heavy patrol could have a drink at the ship's bar, and the soldiers could only go ashore.
"Zhu, we're protecting you, you know, Chinese Americans in the United States are suffering serious discrimination-" Sergeant Major Henry White said seriously, the uniform of the Southern African Navy was born from the British Royal Navy, and it is still a bit of a deterrent for Americans.
Everything in Britain is sought after in the United States, regardless of whether it is a commodity or tradition, and even the scum of Britain is superior in the United States.
This is really not bragging, the British in the United States in this era are probably similar to the Americans in Japan in the 21st century, although the GDP of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, but the thinking of the Americans does not seem to be able to keep up with the speed of development of the United States.
"So what? Whoever dares to offend me, I will take out a gun and smash his head-" Zhu Shun's expression was hideous, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" of the United States is a serious injury to all Chinese.
For the past and present life of the Chinese Exclusion Act, see another book, "The Rich World"——
Well, this advertisement is actually useless, "Rich Armor World" is already 404, and you can only go to the station to watch pirated versions.
I will not go into detail about the "Chinese Exclusion Act" here, so as not to be scolded, anyway, the status of Chinese Americans in this era is similar to that of Africans.
That is also much stronger than in the 21st century, in the United States, in the 21st century, the Chinese are at the bottom of the chain of contempt, and Africans seem to be the most discriminatory against the Chinese.
Yes, Africans are like this, they are against "racial discrimination", they only oppose themselves to being discriminated against, and when they have the opportunity, they are the most motivated to discriminate against others.
"Zhu—" Sergeant James just spoke.
"Don't call me Zhu, you can call me Juliet-" Zhu Shun immediately corrected, this surname is actually very bad, these guys are actually good at Chinese, they know what the homonym of "Zhu" in Chinese is, but they are happy to do it.
Juliet is the English name of Zhu Shun.
"Ha, Zhu, why are you called that, don't you know that Romeo's Juliet is a tragedy?" Henry White laughed, after Shakespeare wrote "Romeo and Juliet", the British named it "Juliet", probably as absurd as the Chinese named Pan Jinlian.
Ah, this analogy is inappropriate, it should be Zhu Yingtai.
"It's still a woman's name, you idiot—wahahahaha—" Several others immediately burst out laughing, drawing frequent sideways glances from passers-by.
"Get out, I can call it whatever I want, do you care?" Zhu Shun's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he immigrated to Southern Africa as an adult, and the guy who named Zhu Shun was probably a bit of a bad taste, so he gave Zhu Shun the name "Juliet", and it was too late to change it after Zhu Shun knew about it.
A group of people came to a tavern next to the pier, and the bartender lost his mind for a moment when he saw Zhu Shun, and then looked at Zhu Shun's uniform and suddenly realized.
Recently, in New York, there have been many Chinese faces, all of whom are members of the British delegation, and the bartenders have always been well-informed.
Zhu Shun asked for a glass of beer, took off his hat and put it on the bar counter at hand, and his black hair was unusually conspicuous in the dim light of the bar.
"Brother, is there anything interesting nearby?" Henry White casually put twenty cents on the bar.
The bartender smiled, gently put a glass of whiskey in Henry White's hand, and then quietly took the money: "500 meters to the right is Beautiful Street, where you should have all the fun you want—if not enough, there is a big rich hotel on the street ahead, and the hotel has everything you want, and you should have all the fun you want." ”
It is not surprising that the bartender is now in New York, where delegations from various countries are gathered, such as Britain, France, and Italy, and in addition to the Netherlands, Portugal, and Belgium, which are participating in the nine-nation meeting, the southern African fleet has strict requirements for military discipline, and other countries are useless.
These soldiers can't be asked to stay on the ship, the Washington conference will be held for a few months before and after, and if the soldiers are not allowed to go ashore to have fun, they will have fun on the ship—
Hey, this sentence seems a bit dirty.
"You think too much brother, I just want to buy some New York souvenirs, do you have Indian scalps for sale in your store?" Henry White had bad intentions and slapped him in the face in front of the bartender.
The scalp of the Indians, which is a meme of the United States that circulated in Europe, is used to express the ingratitude of Americans.
When the Mayflower arrived in the United States, the Europeans on board were almost killed or injured because they were not accustomed to the living conditions in the United States.
At this time, the Indians in the United States gave the Europeans great help, not only to help them fight the disease, but also to teach them other life skills so that these Europeans could settle in the United States.
The good times did not last long, as the number of Europeans increased, and the disputes with the local Indians also increased, and finally one day, a war broke out between the Europeans and the Indians, so the U.S. government spent a lot of money to buy the scalps of the Indians and commit genocide against the Indians.
The bartender obviously knew this history as well, so the hand wiping the cup paused, smiled reluctantly and did not respond.
Well, the Europeans don't like the Americans, and the Americans don't like these Old Continenters equally.
"Hahahaha, you bastard, you're always so boring-" Zhu Shun scolded with a smile and got up to go to the toilet.
"Be careful, Zhu—"
"If you can't beat it, come back and call someone, we'll cheer you on-"
"Don't let those guys go." George White and his gang fanned the flames, and during this time, the Chinese appeared alone in New York, and there was a high probability of conflict with the locals.
However, today Zhu Shun is wearing the uniform of the Southern African Navy, and there should not be many people who dare to find trouble.
Just because there isn't much doesn't mean there isn't.
As soon as Zhu Shun walked to the door of the toilet, he was stopped by two bare-chested guys wearing vests and shaved heads.
"Man, you're so handsome—" It's not that there are good ones.
"Steal it!" More unfriendly people.
"Shut up, I don't want to fight anyone today." Zhu Shun is welcome, except for the huge advantage of the United States in terms of population compared with your Africa, the gap in other aspects is not large.
"Ah Puppet - our Brother Ah Bing is angry—" Someone is angry.
Zhu Shun's hand was on the handle of the bathroom, and he looked back at the yin and yang weird guy, his eyes were extremely dangerous.
The yin and yang weird guy drank a little too much, looked at Zhu Shun's eyes a little erratic, and unconsciously burped.
Zhu Shun sneered and pushed the door in.
Several guys at the door glanced at each other, and one of them mustered up the courage to follow Zhu Shun and push the door in.
Alas, in fact, many times it is really true that if you don't die, you won't die.
