Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Not everyone has Rock's patience.

In the view of Angel and Alvin, southern Africa does not need to be patient at all, nor does it need to mobilize more troops. With the existing strength in the Indian Ocean theater, it can directly invade Japan's mainland and completely defeat Japan.

By then, Asia, like Africa, will completely become the sphere of influence of southern Africa, and Americans will have to accept this fact.

As the commander-in-chief of the Indian Ocean Theater, Angel did not place the headquarters on Zhenghe Island, which is more important and safer, but at Changi Naval Base. This fully proves Angel's attitude.

"The Japanese are really tolerant. Why can't Yamashita Fengfumi be tougher for once?" After learning that the Japanese took the initiative to blow up the airport and dock on Conlun Island, Alvin was disappointed.

"Strength determines everything. If Japan's strength dominates, then the Japanese will definitely be extremely tough." An Qi has a clear understanding of the Japanese character.

"General Wavell rejected our proposal. He believed that the British army was capable of protecting British Malaya and did not need our help." Tang Li, who had been promoted to general, was proud of his success. Jackson Marshall finally retired three months ago.

, Tang Li succeeded Jackson Marshall as Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Jackson Marshall fell ill last winter and spent four months in the hospital.

Although Jackson Marshall did not want to miss the World War, he eventually resigned due to lack of energy.

Rock still tried to persuade him to stay.

Jackson Marshall's physical condition does not allow him to perform high-intensity work anymore.

So Rock promoted Jackson Marshall's military rank to marshal, and Jackson Marshall officially retired honorably.

Since joining the Southern African Navy, Jackson Marshall has worked diligently as Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Ocean Fleet and made great contributions to the development of the Southern African Navy.

The federal government of Southern Africa thanked Jackson Marshall for his contribution, and Congress specially approved a reward of 500,000 rand to Marshall.

Marshall also wanted to donate all 500,000 rand to the foundation in Phyllis' name, but was dissuaded by Roque.

As a marshal, Jackson Marshall will have a generous pension even if he retires, so he really doesn't care about the five hundred thousand rand.

But this is not good. If Jackson Marshall donates this money, what will happen to other people who also receive congressional awards?

Donate, some people will definitely be reluctant.

Don’t donate it. With Jackson Marshall’s jewels in front of you, it’s really greedy to spend a dime.

So don't do this kind of thing.

"Weaver did well against the Italians in North Africa. He probably thought that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was similar to that of the Italians." Alvin's words were ridiculing. In another time and space, Wavell was defeated by Yamashita Fumi.

Yamashita Fengwen's "Malay Tiger" was achieved by Weiweier.

"Then ignore him. If the Japanese were smart, they would not take the initiative to attack British Malaya." An Qi was not worried. Even if Weiweier messed up, the Fourth Army would take care of it.

In the current situation, as long as the Japanese have some sense, they will not continue to attack southward.

However, many things cannot be explained by common sense. After French Indochina opened its borders to Japan, the United States also began to realize that Japan's expansion in Asia has seriously threatened U.S. interests in Asia, so the Americans have begun to actively restrict

trade with Japan.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Japan.

Japan is short of domestic resources and relies solely on the input of resources from the United States to be able to expand externally.

Now that the United States has begun to restrict Japan's trade, the Japanese may not even be able to build "Yamato" and "Musashi". Therefore, what the Japanese hate most now is not southern Africa, but the United States.

It seems very unreasonable.

It's actually quite normal.

This is just like borrowing money. If you ask someone to borrow money and the other party never lends money, then there is a high probability that the relationship is just alienation and will not rise to the level of hatred.

If you always respond to requests and suddenly one day stop borrowing money, you will most likely turn against someone.

This is what Japan and the United States are doing now.

Rock hopes that Japan will fight the United States first, which is also based on the strength of the three parties.

In Asia, from the perspective of the number of troops, Japan undoubtedly has the largest number.

In terms of equipment, it is the strongest in southern Africa.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet is powerful, but the Army has no sense of presence. The colonial servant army formed by the United States in the Philippines is really not good at combat. It cannot even defeat the rebels on Palawan Island. These are all facts, and the Japanese know it very well.

.

Therefore, even if Japan wants to have a decisive battle with southern Africa, it must first eliminate the threat from the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

The crux of the matter lies in the myth of the invincibility of southern African armies.

Since the founding of Southern Africa, it has never lost any large-scale war, whether it was the last world war or the Brazilian Civil War.

The ten aircraft carriers and nearly twenty second-level aircraft carriers of the Southern African Navy also scare the Japanese.

Even with all its might, Japan has not yet managed to build two thousand Zeros.

"How about we take the initiative to create a reason?" Alvin was eager to fight. During the Spanish Civil War, Alvin did not get the chance to participate in the war. When the World War broke out, Alvin took the initiative to join the army. When he came to Changi Naval Base, he could only fish every day, which made Alvin very helpless.

.

"Don't, it will disrupt the Lord's overall plan." An Qi calmly said, as long as you have patience, the battle will always be fought.

When Alvin suffered from no fighting chance, the Allied forces in Greece were on the verge of collapse.

The performance of the Australian army in Greece was completely different from that in North Africa.

When they were in North Africa, the Australian army faced the Italians with an overwhelming momentum, just like an adult beating a child, which established the Australian army's great reputation.

When they arrived in Greece, the Australians became soft-footed shrimps.

This may be a curse. During the last world war, the Anzac Corps suffered heavy losses in the Dardanelles Strait, and that bay is still called "Anzac Bay".

In Greece, the Australians' performance was no better than during the last world war, and it was even worse.

Going to Greece to assist the Greek army in fighting were the Australian 3rd and 5th Divisions.

As early as February, Winston sent War Secretary Anthony Eden and Foreign Secretary John Dill to Greece to form a coalition consisting of Greek troops, British troops, Australian troops, New Zealand troops, and troops from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

.

Considering that they were fighting in Greece, the coalition forces accepted Greek command.

At this time, the selfishness of the British began to trouble again. General Henry Maitland Wilson, who was in charge of commanding the British army, did not fully follow the Greek deployment and arranged the British army's defense line slightly backward. As a result, the approaching

The troops of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the area defended by the British troops became the protrusion of the entire defense line.

After the war broke out again, the area defended by the troops of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was targeted by the German-Italian coalition forces. At the beginning of the battle, it was frantically attacked by the German 7th Armored Division.

The previous commander of the 7th Armored Division was Rommel, who currently serves as the commander of the German-Italian North African Army.

During the Battle of France, the 7th Armored Division was invincible and victorious. It was known as the "Devil Division" and became the ace unit of the German army.

Mustache can send the 7th Armored Division to assist Italy, which fully shows that Mustache attaches great importance to Italy.

The troops of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia were unable to resist, and Wilson did not provide timely assistance to the Yugoslav troops.

The Yugoslav army was defeated across the board, triggering a terrible chain reaction. Wilson commanded his troops to retreat immediately, escaping faster than the Germans could attack.

After the Battle of France, the German 7th Armored Division was completely re-equipped, and all the tanks now equipped are Germany's most advanced Panzer IV tanks.

Before the Australian 3rd Division went to Greece, although it was supplemented by some tanks, it was still essentially an infantry division.

Facing the fierce offensive of the German 7th Armored Division, the Australian 3rd Division not only lost its position, but also lost a large amount of weapons and equipment, including 32 "Puss" produced in southern Africa.

The "Pusman" is Britain's most advanced tank currently.

Because this order was promoted by Winston, within the British army, the "Puss Cavalry" was named the "Winston" tank.

Compared with Germany's most advanced Panzer IV tank, the "Pusman" not only does not fall behind, but its performance in some aspects is actually more advanced.

Possessing tanks with advanced performance, the Australian 3rd Division actually left all tanks intact to the Germans and Italians without firing a single shot. This behavior should be regarded as aiding the enemy.

In order to help Italy defeat Greece as soon as possible without affecting the upcoming "Barbarossa Plan", Mustache sent the powerful 12th Army to assist the Italians, including the 1st Armored Group, 40th Armored Corps, and 18th Mountain Army.

The 30th Infantry Corps, the 50th Infantry Corps, and the 16th Armored Division were commanded by Field Marshal William Lister.

The Germans were making rapid progress.

On April 6, the German-Italian Allied Forces launched an offensive. On the morning of the 6th, the German army sent out its air force to bomb Belgrade. Then the 40th Armored Corps broke through the Bulgarian border in two ways. On the evening of April 8, the 1st Division of the Armed Guards captured Pubida, thereby cutting off the Bulgarian border.

The railway line between Belgrade and Thessaloniki was cut off, and the connection between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Greece was severed.

On April 9, the German army breached Fortress Rupert, and the "Metaxas Defense Line" carefully built by the Allies was breached, and the situation quickly collapsed beyond control.

On the 10th, the German army crossed the Lodopi Mountains and by this time the German army had entered Greece.

On the 15th, the German army crossed the Epirus Mountains. On the 21st, the German army crossed the Bandus Mountains. By the 27th, the German army had crossed the Olympus Mountains. There was no obstacle in the process.

This is really incredible. If the Greeks and British were determined to completely destroy the roads in the mountains, the German advance would not be so smooth.

The combat effectiveness of the Greek army is also speechless.

Before the war, the Greeks were stimulated by the results in the first stage and shouted slogans to counterattack Germany, but they were slapped in the face.

On April 6, the German and Italian forces attacked, and on the 8th they broke through the defenses on the east bank of the Vardar River. On the 9th, the Greek Second Army surrendered.

In the first phase of the battle between Greece and Italy, the Greek Second Army performed extremely bravely. As the main force, it drove Italy out of Greece and invaded Albania in one go. It seemed that people were seeing the army in its heyday again.

Spartans.

As a result, after the German army participated in the war, the true colors of the Greek army were revealed, and the myth was completely shattered.

While the Second Army surrendered, other coalition forces were scrambling to retreat.

In fact, it was a defeat.

In order to escape faster, the coalition forces discarded almost all the weapons and equipment that could be discarded. Not to mention heavy equipment, the soldiers even discarded their rifles at will. The farce when the French troops were defeated in the Battle of France was repeated again. Miraculously, what caused all this

Still the German 7th Armored Division.

On April 18, the British troops withdrew to Thermopylae, where they finally organized an effective defense.

The reason for organizing a defense is very simple. The two-legged British army cannot outrun the German soldiers sitting in tanks. After days of rout, the morale of the British army is completely lost. Many troops are no longer organized. If the German army cannot be stopped from advancing, then in

The British army in Greece would certainly not be able to escape disaster.

How fast was the German army advancing?

After the German-Italian coalition began to attack, the 14 Greek divisions still stranded in Albania were abandoned in Albania before they even had time to retreat.

On the 18th, all 14 divisions surrendered to the Germans.

At this point, all the Greek troops that had repeatedly made military exploits in the first phase of the Greek Campaign had been lost.

When people are forced into desperate situations, they will always show extraordinary abilities.

During the sniper battle at Thermopylae, the 19th Australian Regiment and the 6th New Zealand Regiment were ordered to hold on to Thermopylae and cover the retreat of the main British army.

The Anzacs finally showed their courage during the last World War. They fought with the German armored forces with their flesh and blood, fought fiercely for a whole day, and successfully covered the retreat of the main British army.

The Australian 19th Regiment and the New Zealand 6th Regiment also lost the opportunity to retreat. After holding on to Thermopylae for a day, the remaining troops of the Australian 19th Regiment and the New Zealand 6th Regiment also surrendered to the Germans.

At this point, the entire Greece, except for Crete and Athens, had been occupied by the German coalition forces.

The Allied forces collapsed so quickly that it was dizzying to watch.

Stoudemire couldn't help but ask Rock, is this the result of Rock and Winston's discussion?

Rock was speechless.

During the Saar Conference, Roark and Winston decided to abandon Greece and divert trouble to the north, allowing Germany to attack Russia.

However, Rock and Winston never expected that the Allied forces would be defeated so quickly.

If this continues, Greece will not be able to contain Germany at all. If the Germans can end the war in Greece before summer arrives, it is hard to say whether Russia can survive until winter.

On the 21st, Arthur received an urgent order from Rock. The Fifth Army must hold on to Crete until at least June, so as to delay the German attack on Russia.

All the pressure immediately shifted to Arthur's side.

Prior to this, although Greece had opened Crete to the Mediterranean Theater, the Mediterranean Theater had not taken any action on Crete, wasting two months.
