Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

After the outbreak of the European War, the reputation of the League of Nations has gone from bad to worse. Now no one cares about it, and it has been completely reduced to a dispensable and useless thing.

The current Secretary-General of the Executive Council of the League of Nations has been replaced by the Irishman Jean Lested. Andy Ouston took the initiative to resign after the outbreak of the Polish War. Neither the French nor the British were willing to serve as Secretary-General of the Executive Council. Jean...

Resid was reluctantly elected.

At present, the total strength of the League of Nations forces is only 11,000. Commander-in-chief Ruiz participated in the last world war and has served in the League of Nations forces since its establishment.

The training and morale of the League of Nations troops are still good, but the equipment is slightly behind due to lack of funds. They are still equipped with the ancient Lee Enfield.

But this is not a problem. The British army is also using Lee Enfield. Compared with light weapons, Ruiz hopes to get some advanced tanks produced in southern Africa, so that Ruiz will be more confident.

"Don't even think about tanks. Even if they exist, they won't be the most advanced. The mainland is expanding its army, the UK is expanding its army, and Free France is also expanding its army. Tanks are needed everywhere." Ruiz's partner also served in the League of Nations for more than 20 years.

Wilson was a little depressed in 2001. The League of Nations troops were not short of men, but they were short of heavy weapons.

In the past two decades, hundreds of thousands of southern Africans have immigrated to the Black Sea estuaries including the Bosporus, Sea of ​​Marmara, and Dardanelles. Now more than a hundred southern Africans live in this area.

Wan, Ruiz can recruit more than 100,000 soldiers at any time if he wishes.

After the outbreak of the European War, Prince Said, who had been settling in southern Africa, returned to the Asia Minor Peninsula in a last-ditch effort to restore the Ottoman Empire.

Prince Said is a loyal supporter of Roque.

After returning to Asia Minor, the Germans contacted Prince Said and promised that if Prince Said joined the Axis powers, Germany would support the restoration of the Ottoman Empire after the war.

Prince Said had lived in southern Africa all year round and knew southern Africa very well. He did not believe that Germany had the possibility of winning the war, so he decisively rejected the German demands.

There are also many people in Asia Minor who sympathize with the Ottoman Empire. Prince Said has organized four divisions of 60,000 people and is receiving training on the Garibaldi Peninsula.

"What does Pretoria say? Doesn't your lord know our situation?" Ruiz fought hard. Even if there were no "Tiger" and "Panther", some "Puss" would be fine.

"Procedurally, we belong to the League of Nations," Wilson said in a dilemma. He and Ruiz had no direct contact with Roque's authority.

"Pedantic, who cares about the damn League of Nations now? We are Southern Africans. It's time to replace our blue helmets with the four-color camouflage of the Southern African Defense Forces!" Ruiz was very angry. Since the outbreak of the European War

, the League of Nations troops never received even a penny of funding from the League of Nations.

All self-funded.

Fortunately, the Dardanelles may be the busiest strait in the world, and the League of Nations troops can barely survive just by collecting tolls.

Of course, it is slightly insufficient to build a powerful armored force with just this amount of toll money.

Then contact Pretoria directly.

The procedure still needs to be carried out. Louis' telegram is first sent to the Mediterranean theater and needs to be handed over by Arthur.

"Oh oh oh, League of Nations troops, I almost forgot, we still have such a powerful force in the Balkans." Arthur was very happy that the League of Nations troops could also contain the German army.

"So, our Mediterranean theater will soon have a servant army of our own." Mike Tolan was equally happy.

Speaking of servant armies, of the four theaters in Southern Africa, the Atlantic Theater has the largest number of servant armies. Not only the Southern African Union troops, but also the Free French troops can be counted as the servant armies of the First Army and the Third Army.

In the direction of the Indian Ocean theater, the East India troops alone numbered half a million, enough to form a powerful deterrent to Japan.

The situation in the Mediterranean theater was slightly worse. In the last world war, there were servant troops sent by the Sultanate of Najd. This time Najd only provided money but no people. The Second Army and the Fifth Army led by Arthur were slightly more powerful.

solitary.

Now that Prince Said's troops have joined, Arthur finally has enough cannon fodder in his hands.

No, it's the servant army

That’s not right, it’s the Allies!

"Even if Prince Said's 60,000 men are included, the strength is still slightly insufficient to defend the Black Sea outlet." Feng Fulue was excited. The Second Army has been doing nothing since it occupied Italian East Africa. It is obvious that the Black Sea outlet will soon

It becomes another hot spot, and the Second Army may get a chance to participate in the war.

"It doesn't matter, General Ruiz has organized tens of thousands of National Guard troops, plus Prince Said's 60,000 troops, the total force has exceeded 100,000. The offense may be slightly insufficient, but the defense is still fine." Arthur is not worried.

Although the League of Nations troops lack heavy weapons, the Mediterranean theater can provide air support, which can partly make up for it.

However, due support still had to be given, but Arthur's side also lacked heavy weapons, so Arthur transferred some of the heavy weapons that were originally sent to Alexandria to supplement the British North African Army to the Garibaldi Peninsula.

This in turn caused dissatisfaction with Auchinleck, the British Commander-in-Chief of the Middle East Theater.

Auchinleck has been in trouble recently. Although Rommel has not launched a new offensive, Tobruk is still besieged by the German-Italian army. The 30,000 British troops may be wiped out at any time. Fortunately, the Mediterranean Fleet and the Cyprus Squadron have the air

With support, the British troops in Tobruk could withstand the German-Italian offensive.

After arriving in Egypt, Auchinleck took stock of the forces he had and tried to launch a counterattack against Rommel.

At this time, Auchinleck sadly discovered that after London transferred the elite troops of the North African Army to Greece, he was left with only six under-strength Indian divisions, unable to do anything.

Not to mention counterattack, given the current strength of the British army in the Middle East, Auchinleck would be thankful to be able to hold the Suez Canal.

Of course, this is also due to Rommel's insufficient logistics, which was not enough to support a thousand-mile front, so Rommel's attack was weak.

Auchinleck is now gathering strength.

After the Allied forces in Greece were defeated, the remaining troops retreated to Alexandria. These troops abandoned all their heavy weapons when they retreated. Auchinleck urgently needed heavy weapons to restore their strength.

At this time, Arthur sent the equipment originally supplied to the British army in the Middle East to the Garibaldi Peninsula. You can imagine Auchinleck's anger.

The two sides then began to use telegrams to quarrel.

Auchinleck asked Arthur to return the equipment belonging to the British Middle East Theater to the North African Army.

Arthur refused on the grounds that there had been no fighting in the British Middle East theater recently, but the Garibaldi Peninsula was facing war.

Britain has already paid for these equipment.

Auchinleck then took the lawsuit to the coalition headquarters and asked Roark and Winston to resolve it.

What can Rock and Winston do?

Both sides have real needs and want to fight against the Germans, so they can only make peace with each other.

Rock promised to replenish equipment for the British North African Army as quickly as possible.

Winston promised to hand over all command of the Allied troops withdrawing to Alexandria to Auchinleck.

Auchinleck and Arthur were both satisfied.

Ruiz and Wilson were more satisfied.

The equipment sent by Arthur not only includes "Puss" tanks and "Alligator" armored vehicles, but also a large number of artillery, including the latest 155 mm heavy howitzer and 120 mm self-propelled howitzer in southern Africa.

"Compared with the previous model of Pussy Cavalry, this batch of Puss Cavalry has strengthened frontal armor. It can defend against frontal attacks from German 75mm tank guns at a distance of 500 meters. Although the side armor and rear armor are slightly insufficient, and

Compared with the previous model, there is still a big improvement, and the overall capability has surpassed the German Panzer IV tank. It is absolutely no problem to use it for defense." Chen Ping, a senior engineer of Nyasaland Heavy Industry who arrived in Constantinople with the equipment, said about the Pussar tank.

High hopes, coincidentally, Chen Ping himself grew up in Constantinople.

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinople served as a Class B mandate and was managed by the National Alliance forces.

It was at that time that Chen Ping came to Constantinople with his family. He then received education at the League of Nations school in Constantinople. Because of his excellent grades, he went to Nyasaland University to study after graduating from high school and graduated.

Later he went to work in Nyasaland Heavy Industry.

Chen Ping's brother-in-law and two younger brothers were serving in the League of Nations troops. After the outbreak of the European War, Chen Ping's sister had gone to the safer Cyprus, but his father and mother still stayed on the farm outside Constantinople.

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, there was countless land without owners in the Garibaldi Peninsula. The southern Africans who initially immigrated to the Garibaldi Peninsula were the happiest. Each of their families received at least 200 acres of land, and all of them were big landowners.

Chen Ping's family has a large population and the farm area reaches 450 acres. This is a valuable asset. Chen Ping's parents vowed to live and die with the farm.

"The tanks are good tanks, but the number is a bit small." Ruiz was not satisfied yet.

Chen Ping rolled his eyes covertly. The first batch of "Puss" tanks sent to Constantinople totaled 110, which could form two armored regiments. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

What's more, in the future, "Puss Cavalry" will continue to arrive in Constantinople. Roque is not willing to use the blood of southern Africans to stop the Germans, and he is never stingy with equipment.

So do the British.

So now I understand why when the British army was defeated, they first discarded all their heavy weapons.

There is hope for some.

The enemy arrived faster than Ruiz expected.

On May 15, a Bulgarian army crossed the line of actual control of the League of Nations forces and advanced towards the Bosporus.

This force was attacked head-on by the League of Nations troops and fled in a hurry after hundreds of casualties. The League of Nations troops suffered no casualties.

"This is a signal. More and more enemies will participate in the attack next. Our troops must be prepared. All those who have participated in military training and can handle guns must take action. We are not fighting for the International Alliance.

, but to surround our own homeland." Ruiz was full of murderous intent. Forget about the Germans, even the Bulgarians dared to disturb Tai Sui. They really thought that the officers and soldiers of the League of Nations were just fools.

In March of this year, Bulgaria just joined the Axis Powers.

In the last world war, Bulgaria chose the wrong side and paid about one-tenth of its territory and the equivalent of 9,000 pounds in compensation.

The Bulgarians accepted this result, and after ceding their land, they used livestock to repay the indemnity, joined the League of Nations, and became a peace-loving country.

After the outbreak of the European War, both Germany and the United Kingdom extended an olive branch to Bulgaria, but Bulgarian King Boris III did not make an immediate decision.

From Boris III's personal standpoint, Boris III tends to be neutral.

But Russia did not give the Bulgarians a chance to become neutral.

After Russia and Germany carved up Poland, countries in Southeast Europe fell into great danger. Last autumn, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia successively joined the "Tripartite Pact", and Bulgaria's situation became increasingly dangerous.

In early November last year, the Russians telegraphed the Germans and insisted on bringing Bulgaria into their sphere of influence; they promised to ensure Bulgaria's security and even agreed to Bulgaria retaining its monarchy.

The Russians also suggested that Russia and Bulgaria sign a "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance."

This frightened Boris III.

Just last summer, Russia relied on this so-called "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" to annex Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Boris III has relatives in Germany, and his queen is an Italian princess, so Boris III chose the Axis powers and chose to join the "Three Powers Pact" in March this year.

During the attack on Greece, Bulgaria did not send troops to participate in the war, so Ruiz's attack on the Bulgarians was very unexpected. In Ruiz's view, the Bulgarians had no motive or reason to attack the Bosporus.

In the "Three Powers Pact" or the "Four Powers Pact", Russia made no secret of its desire for the Black Sea outlet.

Therefore, even if Bulgaria occupies the Black Sea outlet, I am afraid it will be a wedding dress for the Russians. Boris III should not be so stupid.

"General, Mr. Manolev has arrived," the adjutant announced softly. Manolev was an official of the Relegation League stationed in the League of Nations.

Although the League of Nations is now in disrepute, at least as a communication channel, the League of Nations is qualified.

"Invite him in." Ruiz was busy waiting for Manolev's explanation.

"Good afternoon General, the weather is really nice today" Manolev's standard Bulgarian opening.

Ruiz was expressionless, not in the mood to discuss the weather with Manolev.

"General, I hope you can understand that in this ongoing war, Bulgaria has too many last resorts. Our destiny has never been in our own hands, so we have to make some decisions that are not in the interests of Bulgaria and are not in line with

It’s about our friendship.” Manolev’s posture was low.

Ruiz finally understood why there were no casualties among the League of Nations troops.
