Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
2062 Ultimatum
After the end of the last world war, a war broke out between Poland and Russia.
At that time, Russia had just experienced a series of great domestic changes. Poland had the support of Britain and France, so in just one year, Poland occupied most of Ukraine and Belarus. Russia took the initiative to sue for peace, and eventually Russia and Poland signed a treaty.
The Treaty of Riga in favor of Poland.
Now you know why Russia joined forces with Germany to attack Poland. The two families have a feud.
In 1939, Poland had 1 million troops, 870 tanks and armored vehicles, 4,300 artillery pieces, and more than 900 military aircraft. In today's Europe, Poland's paper strength is indeed first-rate.
It’s no wonder that Poland can shout out the bold statement of “destroy Germany within three days”. Some people can’t always recognize themselves.
As an individual, I cannot recognize that I still have the opportunity to correct my mistakes.
As a country, if we fail to recognize our own strength, we may perish and perish.
Most of Poland's one million troops are cavalry
It is either the "modern cavalry" in southern Africa that has replaced its war horses with tanks and armored vehicles, or it is cavalry in the traditional sense.
There are 870 tanks and armored vehicles, most of which are vintage vehicles that participated in the last World War. Panzer III means that I will fight ten.
As for the more than 900 military aircraft, the situation is similar to that of tanks and armored vehicles. The difference of a decade is enough to erase the numerical advantage.
What's more, compared with the German Air Force, which has grown by leaps and bounds, the Polish aircraft have lost their numerical advantage.
So on the whole, the situation is far less optimistic than the Poles imagined, and the situation is about the same.
Winston is very sober and rational. He knows the true strength of Germany. Even without Russia's participation, Poland cannot defeat Germany. What's more, it is attacked from both sides and is attacked by two of the most powerful countries in Europe at the same time. The Poles
Dead.
"The British government has begun to launch a new conscription plan. All adult men over the age of 20 must receive military training at a fixed time to form more armies. Some of the troops have already entered France to assist France in defending the Maginot Line." Wins.
When Dun talked about the Maginot Line, his expression was very exciting.
For more than ten years, the Maginot Line was one of the biggest jokes made by the British against the French.
Another laughing stock is the frequent replacement of French prime ministers.
But as the war approached, the British sadly discovered that the Maginot Line was the last guarantee for the British and French forces.
This is so embarrassing.
It's like two families living next to each other. One family laid the foundation when they had nothing to do, and was ridiculed wildly by the other family. As a result, a flood suddenly came one day.
"When will Southern Africa prepare to send an expeditionary force to Europe?" Winston stared into Roque's eyes. This was the real purpose of his coming to Pretoria.
Roque smiled and said nothing. If Southern Africa wants to send an expeditionary force, the French must accept it.
About a month ago, a French newspaper suddenly publicly declared that Southern Africa's garrison in Saint-Roch violated the original agreement when France donated Saint-Roch to Southern Africa. Therefore, in order not to further irritate the Germans, Southern Africa should withdraw all troops stationed in Saint-Roch.
The garrison of Saint-Roch.
This is indeed true. When France donated Saint Roch to southern Africa, there was a condition that no troops could be stationed in southern Africa.
The problem is that France today is completely different from France just after the First World War.
Although France suffered huge losses at the end of the last world war, because it was a victorious country, the French were full of confidence and believed that Germany would be defeated and France would become the new European hegemon, so France no longer needed the Southern African Expeditionary Force.
France is now facing a huge threat from Germany, and war is imminent, but some French people are trying to please the Germans at the expense of withdrawing troops from southern Africa. Such people can only be said to be either stupid or bad.
Mostly bad.
There are also many French traitors.
Otherwise France would not have surrendered so simply.
"If war breaks out again, the worst-case scenario is that the British Empire will face the crazy attacks of the Germans and Italians alone." Winston was already prepared for the worst-case scenario to happen.
However, the British government was not prepared.
The Germans were not only experimenting with new weapons in Spain, but also with new tactics.
Three months ago, the Falangists and Italian intervention forces equipped with German Panzer III tanks used a new combat method to focus on armored forces, successfully broke through the People's Guard defense lines and occupied Catalonia, which lasted for three years.
The Spanish Civil War finally ended with the victory of the Falangists.
Over the past three years, the Spanish Civil War has attracted countless people's attention. Almost all countries have sent military observers to Spain. While the performance of weapons and equipment has been rapidly improved, tactics have also been the focus of military observers' observations.
In the process, Guderian, the director of the German Mobile Forces, and his Panzer III tank became famous.
In 1930, Heinz Guderian, then the staff officer of the German Motorized Forces General Headquarters, established a working group to study tanks and tank tactics.
Guderian was extremely talented in armored troops. Through research, he believed that tanks can fully exert their power only when the other arms supporting the tank have the same driving speed and off-road capabilities as the tank; therefore, within the combined arms corps, tanks should
It plays a leading role, and other arms act according to the needs of tanks; therefore, instead of organizing tanks into infantry divisions, an armored division including various arms should be established so that tanks can function better.
Guderian is known as the "Father of Armored Forces" in Germany and the inventor of the "Blitzkrieg" tactic.
When the Falangists launched their last Catalan campaign, they used the "blitzkrieg" advocated by Guderian.
The Spaniards could not withstand the "Blitzkrieg" attack, and the French were probably the same.
So despite the fact that the British government has sent troops to France to assist in defense, Winston is pessimistic about the prospects of the European War.
Therefore, Winston's purpose is also very clear. He hopes that Rock can send the expeditionary force to the British mainland and prepare for the British Air War now.
"Sorry Winston, anti-war sentiment is very serious in Southern Africa. Southern Africans do not want the federal government to participate in wars that have nothing to do with Southern Africa, so I cannot send an expeditionary force, at least not now." Roque did not lie, this is not an excuse.
Southern African movies have begun to reflect on the war a long time ago.
Only those who have experienced war will love peace.
When the cruel hell-like war scenes in the movie are compared with the happy and beautiful life, the opposition to the war becomes louder and louder.
After Spain tore up the arms purchase agreement with Southern Africa, the anti-war voice in Southern Africa reached its peak, especially for those who immigrated to Southern Africa from Europe. They immigrated to Southern Africa to escape the war, so their opposition to the war was very strong.
Determined.
The same goes for the Chinese in southern Africa.
The Chinese in southern Africa may be the most peace-loving group in the world.
In 1939, more than 90% of farmers in southern Africa were Chinese.
The average farm in southern Africa has 150 acres of land, which translates to about 900 acres. Taking care of the farm has consumed most of the energy of the farmers, and they are not in the mood to pay attention to the war thousands of miles away.
Money can be donated, but it is unlikely that farmers will abandon their farms and go thousands of miles away to fight in the war.
As for going to Europe to participate in the war, it was even more impossible.
Of course, the key lies in the guidance of the Southern African federal government.
"Don't you pride yourself on justice and fairness all day long?" Winston was very dissatisfied with Rock's attitude.
"People change." Rock's words left Winston speechless.
Politicians, in particular, are more fickle.
Roque's position is the national interest of Southern Africa.
For the sake of national interest, Southern Africa can assist Germany.
Also for the sake of national interests, Southern Africa can assist France. There is no conflict between the two.
On this issue, Winston had no position to blame Rock, because the British government's position changed faster.
Of course, southern Africa and the UK are far inferior to mustaches.
Mustache's fall out was really quick. Before the ink of the "Anglo-German Declaration" was dry, Mustache immediately annexed Czechoslovakia.
Less than two years after the signing of the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, the Soviet-German War broke out.
As for the Anglo-German Naval Treaty, its effect is even worse than toilet paper.
Winston knew that he could not convince Rock. In the face of national interests, personal friendship was just embellishment.
Mustache also gave Winston no time to lobby.
On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland.
At this point, Neville actually still fantasized about peace. He gave Mustache an ultimatum. As long as the German army withdraws from Poland within 48 hours, Britain and France can forget about it.
Let bygones be bygones!
Neville can indeed put the blame behind him, but Mustache cannot.
Mustache's biggest goal now is to completely wash away the shame imposed on the Germans by the Paris Peace Conference after the end of the last world war.
On September 3, when the 48 hours stipulated in the ultimatum ended, Germany not only failed to withdraw its troops that had invaded Poland, but instead dispatched its air force to bomb Warsaw, causing huge civilian casualties.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the British government issued another ultimatum to the German government.
At ten o'clock in the morning, there was still no response from Germany.
At 11:45, Neville gave a public speech on the radio, announcing that Britain would launch a national mobilization and declare war on Germany.
At the same time, France also declared war on Germany.
Then
Nothing more.
It is just a declaration of war. The fleet is still staying at the home port, the aircraft are still in the hangar, and the army has begun to mobilize. However, it will be at least half a year before the training is completed and sent to the battlefield.
Half a year!
Germany indeed failed to occupy Poland in three days.
It took 31 days from the time the German army launched its attack on Poland to the day Poland surrendered.
During these 31 days, Britain and France did nothing except declare war.
It cannot be said that nothing has been done. The British and French forces are strengthening the defense in France. Now everyone knows that once Germany ends the war against Poland, the next target will be France.
