Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Even though twenty years have passed, American thinking has not changed at all.

During the last world war, the Americans made a lot of money by relying on trade. They did not miss the post-war partition feast when they participated in the war later. It was only because of the conservativeness of the U.S. Congress that they missed the opportunity to expand their international influence. As a result, southern Africa took advantage of it.

Big bargain.

This time the Americans were still the same. Franco remained neutral because he was forced to do so, and neither side dared to offend.

Americans remain neutral in order to have both sides. It doesn't matter how many Europeans die. Americans make money first.

After the Saarland Conference, in order to avoid opposition from southern Africa and Britain, trade between the United States, Germany, and Italy was mainly conducted through Spain.

Southern Africa suspended trade between Spain and Italy, which immediately aroused opposition from the United States. The reason was the same old-fashioned free trade.

Americans regard "free trade" as a talisman. As long as they advocate something, all countries in the world should support it.

As for whether it is just or not, who cares?

"The Spanish government does not agree to terminate trade with Italy and believes that our boarding inspection is illegal. Therefore, the Spanish government requires us to release the seized merchant ships and goods as soon as possible, and even requires us to compensate for the losses caused by the seizure." Martin was happy to be able to do so.

Seeing the back molars, Franco didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Do the Spaniards think that we in southern Africa are easier to bully?" Henry sneered. If the Royal Navy had seized the Spanish merchant ships, the Spaniards would never dare to make such a request.

"Let the Third Army cross the Strait of Gibraltar and launch an attack on the Spanish mainland. The Atlantic Fleet and the Cyprus Squadron will attack from both sides. What are the Marine Corps and Airborne Forces waiting for? The time has come when they are needed to safeguard the interests of southern Africa!" Stoudemire was the most active,

It doesn’t matter if it’s reality or not.

If nothing else, sending a Cyprus squadron to attack the Spanish mainland sounds unreliable.

Cyprus and Spain are separated by Italy and France.

Leaving aside Italy, France's position is a bit vague.

After "Operation Ballista", the French Navy retaliated against the Royal Navy. Although Vichy France's position was still neutral, the French Navy and the Royal Navy were actually at war.

Regarding the navy in southern Africa, the French navy showed great restraint and did not offend the river.

The Southern African navy has not attacked the French navy and has not even approached the French coast. Both sides are trying to avoid conflicts.

The current mission of the Cyprus Squadron is to cooperate with the British Mediterranean Fleet to completely cut off the connection between the German-Italian North African Army and the Italian mainland.

This idea is very good, but it is difficult to implement. In recent months, Germany and Italy have all supplied the North African Army by submarine forces, or dispatched transport aircraft to airlift it at night. The Mediterranean Theater has deployed radars in Malta, but it is of no use.

limited.

There are no airports around Malta in southern Africa and the UK. Unless there is an aircraft carrier nearby, the Italian transport plane will have already fled by the time the air force arrives.

"Order the Mediterranean theater to block the waterway between Spain and Italy, intercept Spanish merchant ships and order the troops stationed in the Strait of Gibraltar to enter combat mode." Roque made up his mind that even without the cooperation of the United Kingdom, the plan for southern Africa would be gradually advanced.

.

Before the world war broke out, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa formulated numerous plans for various situations.

The British hope to block the power of southern Africa from Europe, and even further block it south of North Africa. The Europeans' affairs should be solved by the Europeans, and southern Africa can do its logistical work well.

But at this point today, how can it be possible for southern Africa to completely follow the British assumptions and still be under the British wing?

Roque gave the British enough opportunities. Until the Battle of Greece, Roque was not completely disappointed with the British and retained a trace of illusion.

The defeat of the British army during the Battle of Crete, or rather the early evacuation, made Rock completely give up.

Since the British are unreliable, southern Africa should do its own thing.

However, the Americans still had to pay attention, so Rock took the initiative to call Roosevelt, hoping that while the United States would reduce trade with the Axis powers, he would also invite Roosevelt to attend a meeting in Russia in October.

After the Russo-German War broke out, the bearded man finally recognized the reality and had to join the Allied camp.

However, Big Beard has not given up yet. There are conditions for joining the Allied camp. The core demands are Romanian oil fields and the Black Sea outlet.

This is unreasonable. What the Allies cannot get from the Axis Powers will obviously not be given to them.

Romania's oil fields are easy to talk about, there is no shortage of oil in southern Africa, and Britain's oil is also guaranteed. However, the Black Sea outlet cannot be given to Russia. This is the most important door to prevent the expansion of Russian power.

Not to mention the millions of southern Africans who have settled on the Garibaldi Peninsula for decades.

Rock did not want to see the southern Africans who settled on the Garibaldi Peninsula being herded away to Siberia by the Russians like piglets after the Russians took control of the Garibaldi Peninsula.

Then let's have a meeting to talk about it first.

Based on the experience of the Saarland Conference, the conference should be held somewhere between southern Africa, the United Kingdom, and Russia.

Big Beard claimed that he was unable to travel far due to health reasons, so he hoped to hold the meeting in Russia.

Rock didn't care, Winston didn't want to go to Russia because the weather in Russia in October was too cold.

This is also an objective fact, but this reason is obviously not sufficient in the context of a world war.

"The United States has not yet decided to join the war. It is a very difficult decision to bring 125 million Americans into the war." Roosevelt's voice was severely distorted and intermittent after being transmitted for tens of thousands of kilometers, from the United States to southern Africa.

There are dozens of signal relay stations in the middle.

In 1940, the population of the United States reached 125 million, ranking fifth in the world.

The second place is the United Kingdom, which includes the Indian population, the fourth place is southern Africa, and the third place is Russia.

As early as 1930, the population of the United States had reached 120 million, and it had only increased by 5 million in ten years, which was unprecedented in American history.

There are many reasons, the Great Depression is just one of them, and competition in southern Africa is the biggest reason.

Since the end of the last world war, most Europeans have chosen southern Africa as their first choice for immigration, and fewer and fewer Europeans have immigrated to the United States. This has also led to the United States' development becoming slower and slower in the past decade.

In the past 100 years, the U.S. economy has developed so rapidly, which is closely related to the rapid growth of the U.S. population.

Before the last world war, the United States had developed into the second largest market in the world after Europe, and American companies were able to grow rapidly because of this.

With the rise of southern Africa, everything changed.

"The United States showed extraordinary courage during the last world war, which impressed me deeply. I believe that this time the United States will choose to be with the just side like the last world war." Rock said sincerely.

Think about the American troops who fought one after another during the last world war and launched a desperate attack on the Fortress of the Burning Sun. Courage is indeed courage, but unfortunately it is more similar to reckless courage.

The current U.S. military does not even have absolute firepower superiority. The United States has formed millions of troops, but it has not experienced the baptism of war and seriously lacks combat experience.

After the Brazilian Civil War, the United States expanded its military crazily under the banner of "retaliation" and established an army of one million people overnight. Unfortunately, most of the troops only had one designation.

In the Brazilian Civil War, the U.S.-Brazilian coalition suffered a complete defeat and completely lost the war.

The Americans learned from the painful experience and fully understood the gap with southern Africa. Although the military decided to retaliate, it did not have the courage to carry out it.

The Navy's shipbuilding speed is quite fast. All six "Yorktowns" in the United States have been completed and put into service. After the outbreak of the European War, four more were added. Now the United States has a total of twelve aircraft carriers, making it the second most powerful in the world.

It's a pity that Americans don't understand the principle that civility does not come first and military power does not come second.

"I hope so, but Locke, you have to understand that the United States, unlike southern Africa, is a true democracy." There was contempt and envy in Roosevelt's words.

The United States is indeed different from southern Africa. The President of the United States is a mascot and is controlled by American capital. Roosevelt is already the longest-serving president in the United States and still cannot escape this curse.

Southern Africa is nominally the same as the United States, and the prime minister must also be responsible to the Congress. However, Roque's influence has surpassed the Congress, and the Congress has become a vassal of the Prime Minister's Office. This is an open secret.

So as the head of state, Roosevelt really envied Roark's power.

"Mr. President, you need to tell your entrepreneurial friends that there is endless money to be made, not to mention that they will soon have no money to make." Roque said that Germany and Italy are about to be absorbed by the United States.

Once you do it, you have to be prepared to owe money if you continue to do business.

Americans are never lenient in pricing when doing business. Germany and Italy purchased military-related strategic materials from the United States at prices that were more than twice as high as those provided to the Allies in southern Africa.

Without such high profits, American businessmen would not be able to take huge risks to do business with Germany and Italy.

Now this business is about to fail.

One reason is that Germany and Italy are running out of funds. Once Russia is defeated, Germany and Italy will no longer need American raw materials.

"I can tell you, but there is no guarantee that it will be effective." How could Roosevelt not know this? It's a pity that the greedy capitalists in the United States will not obey Roosevelt's orders.

While the Allies were planning to hold a conference in Russia, the Russo-German war was still going on.

The situation became increasingly unfavorable for Russia, and all the news was bad news. The Brest Fortress finally fell after holding on for two months, and both Germany and Russia declared victory.

Germany won the Brest Fortress.

Russia received a symbol of courage and spirit to continue fighting.

The final result of the Battle of Minsk was heartbreaking. 320,000 surrounded Russian troops surrendered. This was just the beginning of heartbreak.

In the Battle of Uman that ended in early August, the Russian army captured 100,000 people. This was not the worst result.

After the Battle of Uman, the huge salient of the Russian Southwest Front was completely surrounded by the German army. This time there were 650,000 Russian troops in the encirclement.

At the same time as the Battle of Kiev started, the German Army Group Center launched the Battle of Smolensk. This time, about 400,000 Russian troops were in dire straits.

Following Lithuania, rebellions broke out in Estonia and Romania. In just two months, Russia had lost all the land it had gained after 1938. Leningrad was exposed to German attacks. It was the most brutal war in the history of mankind.

The offensive and defensive battle is about to begin.

Under this circumstance, assistance from southern Africa and the United Kingdom becomes increasingly important to Russia.

The bearded man did not lower his demands because of the heavy losses of the Russian army.

On the contrary, with the losses of the Russian army, there are more and more demands, and it seems that they are trying to make up for the losses caused by the war to Russia through negotiations.

This made Rock and Winston very dissatisfied.

When 650,000 Russian troops were surrounded in Kiev, Winston called Roark.

On the phone, Winston fiercely claimed that he would give up the Russians and let Russia fend for itself.

"Two months ago, Russia still had four million troops. Now at least more than half of these troops have been lost, and the rest have completely collapsed. The Russians cannot hold on anymore. Even if we go all out to help Russia now, Russia will not be able to escape.

"Winston was frightened by the German attack power. Recalling the air battle over Britain that broke out not long ago, Winston realized how lucky the British Empire was.

Fortunately, Mustache turned his target to Russia.

Otherwise, if Mustache insists on implementing the "Sea Lion Plan", Britain will lose faster than Russia.

Britain does not have as strong strategic depth as Russia.

Unless Britain moves its capital from London to Canada.

"Winston, don't worry. You should have seen that the German supply is slowing down, and the Russians are more determined than the Germans imagined." Rock was not in a hurry. Although the Russian army was completely defeated, it was not without its bright spots.

.

Just look at the scale of the war.

There are more than 300,000 people and more than 600,000 people at every turn.

Each number here represents a soldier with weapons, and even though his command is chaotic, he still has a strong will.

The Germans also paid a huge price to win the war. In the Battle of Minsk, the Russian army's tenacious resistance effectively slowed down the German army's advance. Although the Germans won the battle, their advance rate lagged behind the expectations of the German General Staff.

.

In the ongoing Battle of Kiev, there are about 650,000 Russian troops surrounded, but the total number of German troops surrounding them is less than 650,000. Therefore, in order to annihilate the Russian troops in the encirclement, the Germans have to transfer some troops from Army Group Center.

Replenishing Army Group South will also have a huge impact on Army Group Center's offensive.

The key now is time. As long as the time is delayed until winter, the Russians will win a turnaround.
