Chapter 805 Sweeping across Africa
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
By the same token, a politician who doesn't want to be president is not a good politician.
The great thing about Billy Hughes is that he actually served as Prime Minister of Australia and understands the full scope of the Prime Minister's job.
It is not easy to be the Prime Minister of Australia. There is a Governor-General and a bunch of lords in London, and there are a bunch of state governments that are not very obedient. The Prime Minister also bears the hopes of all Australians, like a rat in a bellows, suffering from both sides.
It would be much better if the Prime Minister were upgraded to President.
With the resources Australia possesses, if it no longer accepts British exploitation, Australia will become a standard developed country.
Now Australia's economic strength is not as good as that of Argentina, which is also far away from the Eurasian continent, which is embarrassing.
Gordon gained a lot from his trip to Coconut City. He not only signed a series of economic cooperation agreements with the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, but also received security guarantees.
On September 25, Theo officially submitted an application to the Free Trade Association, hoping to become a member of the Free Trade Association.
The procedures for joining the Free Trade Association are complicated and can only be approved with the consent of more than three-quarters of the member states at the annual plenary meeting.
Unlike the League of Nations, which has many entangled forces, Russia dominates the Free Trade Association and launched a special procedure for Theo's application. It only took a week to complete the entire process.
On October 3, Theo officially became a member of the Free Trade Association.
This situation was strongly opposed by the United Kingdom. David Beatty publicly threatened Theo and decided to dispatch warships from the Mediterranean Fleet to aid East Asia.
After the Suez Canal changed hands, the role of the Mediterranean Fleet declined rapidly. Britain was completely isolated in the Mediterranean, and everyone cried out.
With its control over the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean once became Britain's inner lake. The surrounding countries were under British control and had a long history of dissatisfaction with Britain.
When the Royal Navy was at its peak, the countries around the Mediterranean dared not speak out against Britain and could only accept British exploitation.
As Russia breaks Britain's control over the Mediterranean, regional countries have become increasingly tougher on Britain. The Kingdom of Italy has even publicly asked Britain to get out of the Mediterranean.
Although France and Spain are also under British control, at least they still have territory on the Atlantic coast, so the situation is not serious.
The territory of the Kingdom of Italy is entirely within the Mediterranean Sea. Once Britain blocks the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, the Kingdom of Italy will become an isolated island.
Although the Kingdom of Italy was dissatisfied in the past, its attitude was not so resolute.
The current leader of Italy is Benito Mussolini.
Russia expressed appreciation for Italy's courage, and the Kingdom of Italy, which is also a Free Trade Association country, also welcomed Theo's joining.
On October 5, the third batch of African cadets from the Amur Army Academy graduated. At the graduation ceremony, Field Marshal Andrei, the dean of the Amur Army Academy, encouraged the cadets to make the fight for independence and freedom their lifelong career and work hard after returning to their own countries.
Dinaoga, a student from Sudan, achieved 11 excellent results in all 13 courses and became a well-deserved pacesetter.
In everyone's envious eyes, Andre personally awarded Dinaoga the Black Double-Headed Eagle Medal that only the first place was eligible to receive, and promised Dinaoga that the Army Academy will always be Dinaoga's best place. Strong backing.
"If you need my help at any time, anywhere, you can send me a telegram directly."
Andre has high hopes for Dinaoga.
It is unrealistic to expect Africans to wake up on their own. It may take until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse. Someone must guide them before African brothers have the courage to resist European colonization.
It's okay for Britain and France to colonize Africa. After all, the African natives really can't defeat them because they have a big family and a big business. Countries like Portugal and Belgium can also have colonies in Africa that are dozens or even hundreds of times the size of their own land. It can only be said that historical accidents are sometimes really big.
The first two batches of graduates from the Army Academy have already made a name for themselves in Africa. The first two batches of graduates were involved in the uprisings in Ghana and Kenya. The results were very good, and the local colonial order was rapidly collapsing.
Dina Oga's father was a Sudanese chief. He hoped that Dina Oga would inherit his chieftainship after returning to the chiefdom after studying.
Dinaoga's ideal is to overthrow the British colonial rule in Sudan. To this end, Dinaoga shipped a shipload of gold in the hope of purchasing a batch of new weapons and equipment from Russia.
"Didi, listen to me, fighter jets and armored combat vehicles are not suitable for Sudan. What we need are rifles and explosives."
Dinaoga's best friend at the Army Academy was Ulm from Yekaterinburg.
Ulm was in the same class as Dinaoga and came from a traditional Cossack family. His results were not as good as Dinaoga's, but he could easily defeat Dinaoga in the deduction.
The foundation of African students is a bit poor. Some students cannot even speak Russian proficiently until they graduate. Therefore, the Army Academy treats these African students very tolerantly.
This is the reason why Dinaoga received 11 excellent scores in 13 courses.
Ulm had only two excellent and one failed.
"If I don't have fighter jets and armored fighting vehicles, what's the point of studying these courses?"
Dinaoga is very sad. The gap between Sudan and Russia is too big and disappointing.
"At least after studying these courses, we know how to deal with fighter jets and armored fighting vehicles."
Ulm has accepted Dinaoga's invitation to travel to Sudan with Dinaoga.
Russian graduates of the Army Academy usually enter the Russian army with the rank of second lieutenant after graduation and slowly gain qualifications. Unless they are particularly outstanding, they can receive rapid promotion.
Compared with Dinaoga, Ulm's abilities are even better.
But among Russian students, Ulm stands out.
If you join the Russian army and serve in the Russian army, with Ulm's qualifications, you can become a school officer in about ten years.
If he goes to Sudan, Ulm will immediately become a general. How many people he can command depends on how powerful Dinaoga is.
This is not a difficult choice for students in Ulm who do not have outstanding results.
"We are looking for more like-minded brothers to return to Africa and start our career together."
Dinaoga no longer struggles with the issue of fighter jets and armored combat vehicles. There is strength in numbers.
"It's easy, how many people do you want?"
Ulm was confident that there were plenty of Cossacks in Russia willing to go to Africa to make money.
"As many as you have!"
Dinaoga had a big appetite, so it would be best to hire an army of Cossacks, so that Dinaoga would have the confidence to sweep across Africa.
