After the end of the World War, Australia and Canada took the initiative to disarm, and the Canadian Expeditionary Force, which had a total strength of 500,000 during the World War, only retained less than two divisions of about 30,000 people.

Australia went even further, leaving only four battalions after disarmament, with a total strength of less than 5,000.

Relatively speaking, southern Africa, with a total strength of about 50,000 troops, can afford to send reinforcements to Canada.

However, if Britain wants to send troops to southern Africa, it will have to give some benefits to southern Africa, such as giving tens of thousands of tons of aircraft carriers.

Now Canada is indeed facing a huge threat from the United States, which Arthur and Gavin feel particularly deeply.

When Roque returned to southern Africa, Arthur and Gavin had just finished their trip to the United States, making their way north from New York State into Canada, heading straight for Ottawa, Canada's autonomous capital.

Now Canada is not really independent, so Ottawa is not yet the capital of Canada.

Canada covers an area of 9.98 million square kilometers, the second largest country in the world, but its population is less than 8 million, with an average of less than one person per square kilometer.

The St. Lawrence River across the U.S.-Canada border is becoming more and more desolate along the way, and New York State on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River still has more or less traces of human development, and the territory of Canada is almost absolutely untouched, not even a decent railroad, let alone a road.

This is still a relatively densely populated western region, and there are fewer people in the east, and Vancouver was only inhabited by humans in 1863, but it developed quite quickly, by 1900, Vancouver had 20,000 people, and in 1911, Vancouver's population reached 100,000.

Located at the confluence of the Ottawa, Gatineau and Rideau rivers, Arthur and Gavin hired a yacht to sail from Lake Ontario to a Irishman named Randolph, who was humorous, kind, a little drinker, and always carried his silver flask.

"It's not a good time to go to Ottawa, it's the coldest place in the world, January is the coldest season in Ottawa, and the reason why Canada is not smart is because it's so cold that it freezes their heads—" Randolph laughed, his flask filled with vodka made in southern Africa, cheap enough to be strong, a favorite of drunkards.

Arthur and Gavin drank hot coffee, each of them had a fur coat and wrapped themselves tightly, and Gavin had a hand warmer common in cold zones.

Hearing Randolph's words, Arthur and Gavin looked at each other and smiled.

Most of southern Africa is snowless all year round, and fur coats and hand warmers are useless, and the coldest time is only a trench coat, and if it weren't for the icy Ottawa in January, Arthur and Gavin probably wouldn't be so impatient.

"At this time, you should go to Hawaii, the sun, the beach, the beautiful women, it's refreshing to think about-" Randolph didn't wait for Arthur and Gavin to respond, and babbled to himself.

This guy is still a chatterbox, and the more he drinks, the more he talks.

"Is there anything interesting in Ottawa?" Gavin has an active personality, and he has yet to appreciate the true meaning of globetrotting.

"What's so fun about Ottawa—" Randolph racked his brains and didn't come up with it, he hadn't been to Ottawa a few times, and didn't know much about Ottawa.

"You can ride a dog sled—" Arthur had a calm personality, trying to satisfy Gavin's curiosity.

"Then we should bring the little ears with us." Gavin regretted it greatly, and he didn't want to think about it, Xiao Er had countless harems of food and drink in Los Angeles, so he wouldn't follow him to the end of the world.

"You're on a round-the-world trip, aren't you?" Randolph didn't know the identities of Arthur and Gavin, anyway, he was rich, otherwise he wouldn't have carried dozens of bodyguards with him who looked like murderers.

Arthur and Gavin were generous enough to hire Randolph's ship for twice as much money as they normally would, and such a good deal didn't happen all the time.

"Yes, Canada is our second stop." Gavin didn't mind letting Randolph know that traveling around the world was normal for aristocratic families, and many children of nobility would travel around the world when they became adults, on the one hand, to broaden their horizons, and on the other hand, to increase their experience, Gavin and Arthur were light, and some nobles had to take hundreds of people on their trips around the world.

"Have a great trip, my children are about the same age as you, and I don't have the money to send them on a trip around the world." Randolph was envious, but this was a bit disrespectful, Qin Dian, who was leaning against the window, glanced at Arthur, Arthur shook his head slightly, Qin Dian smiled, and continued to drink his hot coffee.

If this were someone else's, an inappropriate analogy, it might have caused a lot of death.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, which is what it means, the lives of ordinary people are really worthless to nobles.

Qin Dian injured people in Washington, and he didn't do anything in jail for a day, so he lost money.

"It's such a desolate place, there are less than 8 million people in Canada, why don't they bring in new immigrants?" Gavin didn't care, habitually comparing southern Africa with Canada, and then quite disdainful.

"Oh, of course the Canadian government wants to bring in new immigrants, but there are also people who are willing to come to Canada." Arthur is not surprised that not just any country has the same advantages as southern Africa.

"Why?"

"For example, in Ottawa, there are eight months of winter every year, and the winter here is different from the winter in our southern Africa, the temperature at night is below freezing, and the coldest winter may be minus thirty or forty degrees, which is actually not suitable for human habitation." Arthur did his homework and had a detailed understanding of Canada before leaving.

The elder brother has to look like the elder brother, the younger brother can't think of it when he's young, and the elder brother can't think of it, since he is away from home, then Arthur has to take care of Gavin.

Arthur has always done a good job of this.

"Wow, you're from southern Africa, do you know Lord Nyasaland?" Randolph finally found an opportunity to interject.

Arthur and Gavin don't speak, they don't have the need to introduce themselves to Randolph.

"It's the Marquis of Nyasaland, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces during the World War, he was a big man, I heard that he killed hundreds of thousands of Germans in Belgium and saved the world, he was our hero-" Randolph admired Roque, this American's hero complex is indeed quite serious, and he saves the world at every turn.

Arthur and Gavin looked at each other and smiled, heck, they were in a better mood than riding a dog sled.

"However, the Marquis of Nyasaland is not very friendly to our American Expeditionary Force, if it were not for the Marquis of Nyasaland ordering the American Expeditionary Force to take the initiative to attack the Scorching Sun Fortress, our American Expeditionary Force would not have suffered heavy losses-" Randolph's information is not very true, this is also normal, and many people who have witnessed it do not know the specific situation of the world war.

During the World War, the American Expeditionary Force did suffer heavy losses.

However, this has little to do with Roque, and more of the blame should be attributed to Pershing's stubbornness, if the American Expeditionary Force was willing to obey the Allied command during the World War, then the American Expeditionary Force would not have suffered so much loss.

"Mr. Captain, it's not what you think—" Arthur could bear it, but Gavin couldn't.

"Isn't it?" The information that Randolph received was the information that the U.S. government wanted Randolph to receive, and it did not quite match the facts.

"Of course not—" Gavin argued, and then saw Arthur smiling and shaking his head.

Heck, there's no need to distinguish this kind of thing, it's completely meaningless, even if you convince Randolph, so what?

Members of Congress and media professionals in the United States certainly know the truth.

But for some reason, they had to distort the facts, and it was useless to argue.

At this moment, in front of the channel, a Canadian patrol boat suddenly signaled to Arthur and Gavin's boat to stop for inspection.

"Get out of here, you bastards, you don't have the authority to check—" Randolph had a violent temper, which reflected the balance of power between the United States and Canada, which was still arrogant even within Canada.

"Shut up, Yankee, stop the ship for inspection now, or we'll take further steps—" The Canadian patrol boat was surprisingly tough.

Randolph was also tough, and immediately turned off the ship and docked.

A group of Canadian soldiers boarded the ship.

"Gentlemen, there are first in line to the throne of the Marquis of Nyasaland, and the first Baron of Cyprus, please give them the respect they deserve!" Qin Dian came forward to deal with it, and the marquis of the British Empire was still very deterrent in Canada.

Especially in this case.

"I know that we have been ordered to send the Venerable Mr. Gavin Locke and the Baron of Cyprus to Ottawa, and you may take our patrol boat, I promise, more comfortably than this one." The leading captain was well-mannered, and the British nobles were on British territory, of course, on British ships.

"Thank you Randolph, we are about to say goodbye, I wish you all the best." Arthur is also very polite, and Randolph's mouth is a little broken, but he is not a bad person.

"Oh oh oh, you're welcome, are you the honorable Mr. Gavin Locke, or the Baron of Cyprus?" Randolph realized that the Irish were still familiar with British titles.

"I'm Arthur—" The smile on Arthur's face was bright, his identity was actually a bit awkward, but in the Rotten Country—it wasn't a big deal" - Arthur Locke, thank you Randolph, I think we'll meet again in the future. ”

If it were someone else, most of them would not be eligible to use the surname "Locke", but on Arthur's side, Arthur did not have the surname "Cape", but the surname "Locke", which is well known in southern Africa.

"Lord Cyprus, I wish you a smooth journey—" Randolph took off his hat, touched his chest with one hand, and bowed sixty degrees, his mood mixed.

ps: It's late, I'm sorry, there are too many things today, and August 15 has passed and I'm still leaving my relatives-
