Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The current escort aircraft carriers in the United States are all modified from commercial ships. Their displacement and aircraft carrying capacity are not much different from light fleet aircraft carriers. The difference is mainly reflected in their protection capabilities and speed.

After all, merchant ships are civilian ships. Compared with warships, there is a huge gap in structural strength and poor damage resistance. A small amount of damage may cause an escort aircraft carrier to lose its combat capability.

Another difference is reflected in the speed. The maximum speed of the escort aircraft carrier does not exceed 20 knots, which cannot keep up with the speed of the warship formation. It can only be used to escort civilian fleets.

Despite such problems, escort aircraft carriers have become the best solution for the United States to enhance its strength in a short period of time due to their low cost, fast construction speed, and aircraft carrying capacity no less than that of light fleet aircraft carriers. After using new fighters and catapults

After installing the weapon and upgrading the hull structure of the escort carrier, the combat effectiveness of the escort carrier has become quite impressive.

The role of an escort aircraft carrier is not only to escort, but also to be used as a transport ship. A 150-meter-long and 30-meter-wide escort aircraft carrier can transport about 60 fighter jets at a time. The United States refitted its first escort aircraft carrier in June last year.

The "Long Island" and escort aircraft carriers are continuously produced from major shipyards in the United States like dumplings.

Southern Africa does not produce escort aircraft carriers. One of the important reasons is that Southern Africa is not responsible for the escort mission of the fleet, but is only responsible for production. The escort mission of the fleet is the responsibility of the United Kingdom and the United States.

As of May 1942, Southern Africa had a total of 14 large fleet aircraft carriers and 12 light fleet aircraft carriers. The four squadrons that had long been looking forward to aircraft carriers finally got their wish. Each fleet has three light fleet aircraft carriers, which is powerful.

increase.

After the Battle of Moscow, there was general optimism within the Allied forces that the Russians could win the war in one go...

Rock is not optimistic. It is only 1942. If the course of the Russian battlefield goes as predicted by many, then the war may end within the year and it is impossible to fight until 1945.

What's more, the Battle of Moscow was not the turning point of World War II, the upcoming Battle of Volgograd was.

Last winter, the Germans lost approximately 1.1 million men.

In order to make up for the losses, Mustache recruited servant troops aggressively and obtained a total of 52 divisions, including 27 Romanian divisions, 13 Hungarian divisions, 9 Italian divisions, 2 Slovak divisions, and 1 Spanish division.

After winning the Battle of Moscow, the Russian side seriously underestimated the difficulties. It couldn't wait to launch a counterattack just after the spring of this year. As a result, it suffered tragic defeats in the Crimean Peninsula and Zhelev, and all the elite troops trained through the victory in the Battle of Moscow were lost.

.

This situation did not arouse Big Beard's vigilance. Russian nerves are as tough as steel. No matter how many failures they experience, they cannot shake the Russians' determination. Even if Rock and Winston sent telegrams to Big Beard many times, reminding Big Beard that they should

Paying attention to the concentration of German troops on the southern front, Big Beard still made a wrong judgment.

After the failure of the Battle of Zhelev, Bearded Man judged that the main direction of attack of the German army was still Moscow, because in this direction, the Axis powers had assembled more than 70 divisions and about 1 million people.

This made Rock very helpless.

Rock couldn't tell Big Beard directly that Southern Africa had the ability to decipher German telegrams and knew the movements of the German army well.

In that case, the bearded man will probably be very angry. Since Southern Africa knows the movements of the German army very well, why hasn't Southern Africa landed on the Mediterranean coast and opened a second battlefield?

Rock also wants to do this, but the opportunity has not yet arisen.

Now the Germans and Russians are full of hesitation and looking forward to the summer of 1942.

Mustache hopes that Germany can defeat Russia in one go, and then turn its main force back to deal with the threat from southern Africa along the Mediterranean coast.

The Russians hope to use their nearly endless war potential to completely drive the Germans out of Russia and advance the front into Germany.

The coming summer may be the cruelest summer ever.

At least that's the case for the Japanese.

In the Battle of Guam, the Japanese Combined Fleet lost almost all of its main aircraft carriers, leaving only a few light fleet aircraft carriers and seaplane carriers to support the show.

The battle was so miserable that the Japanese government actually claimed after the Battle of Guam that the Japanese Combined Fleet had won the victory.

The Japanese, who had been dazzled by decades of continuous victories, were once again victorious. Tokyo citizens even held lanterns in a parade to celebrate the Japanese combined fleet's complete annihilation of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the Southern African Indian Ocean Fleet.

Only truly smart people can deduce the serious situation Japan is currently facing from the promising battle reports.

"Win? Win like hell." Shota Yamaguchi, who was studying at Tokyo Imperial University, looked at the parade crowd on the street outside the window with an indifferent expression.

The scene on the street outside is very strange.

Tokyo is one of the first Japanese cities in Japan to install street lights. However, due to power shortages, the street lights have not been lit for a long time, leaving only bare poles, like spiritual flags.

The streets were crowded with people holding lanterns to celebrate the victory. Most of them were women, and the number was not large, because the men were on the battlefield and the factories were all female workers. Even if they were over sixty, they still had to work for three days a day.

Work hard to eat.

The women were wearing traditional Japanese kimonos, wearing clogs under their feet and singing songs. The lanterns were flickering on and off, and the singing was weak and feeble. The scene did not look like a victory celebration, but rather like a group of ghosts attending a funeral.

Across the street from Shota Yamaguchi's residence, there is a row of wooden boards covering most of the street.

These wooden boards were used to cover up shame. All the buildings across the street had been burned to ashes in the last bombing in southern Africa. The Japanese government had not had time to deal with it, or it may not have been able to deal with it at all, so they erected it on the side of the street.

Put up a row of wooden boards to cover it up so that it doesn't exist if you can't see it.

"Why do you say that? Haven't we already won the victory?" My sister Keiko, who is in elementary school, was pasting paper boxes under the dim candlelight. These cartons will be sent to the factory early tomorrow morning.

Japan's industrial base is very weak, and there is basically no situation like that in southern Africa where a factory often covers an area of ​​ten square kilometers.

Japanese factories are scattered in residential areas, and most of them are handicraft workshops. It is hard to imagine that Japan has become the king of Asia with such an industrial foundation.

Well, again, this is a bad era.

"If the Combined Fleet wins the victory, then what we are celebrating now should be our occupation of Guam or our occupation of Changi Naval Base." Shota Yamaguchi sneered. The Japanese government's propaganda can fool ignorant Japanese civilians, but it cannot fool Shota Yamaguchi, a top student.

.

"Brother, what should we do?" Keiko put down the cardboard box in her hand and looked confused. Their parents died early, and there were only two people in the family, Yamaguchi Shota and Keiko.

Yamaguchi Shota escaped military service and did not go to the battlefield because he studied at Tokyo Imperial University.

Gu Hei, but the situation is not good now. A few days ago, Shota Yamaguchi heard that the Japanese military went to Tokyo Imperial University to mobilize students to join the army. It is obvious that the situation has reached a very serious point, otherwise the Japanese government would not be fishing in the lake.

Mobilizing students from Tokyo Imperial University to join the army is simply drinking poison to quench thirst.

However, compared with other places, the situation in Japan is much better. It is said that in Japan's overseas territories, middle school students and gray-haired old people have joined the army, and many women have also been drafted. Their occupations cannot be found here.

Write.

Whenever he thinks that one day Keiko may be drafted into the army, Yamaguchi Shota's heart is filled with anger.

"I have contacted my classmates who are in Saigon. We will go to Saigon in a few days and then find a way to go to southern Africa." Yamaguchi Shota decided to leave Japan. This was not an escape, but a struggle for survival.

Southern Africa is dominated by Chinese, so Yamaguchi Shota did not even consider European countries or the United States when choosing a destination, but directly targeted Southern Africa.

Of course, this is not easy, because southern Africa does not accept the Japanese, and even Keiko knows this.

"But we are Japanese, and southern Africa will not accept us." Keiko's eyes were brighter than candlelight for a moment, and then dimmed again.

The relationship between Southern Africa and Japan is very bad. Not only does it not accept Japanese immigrants, it does not even trade with Japan. Even if the Japanese government begged many times, Southern Africa has not sold even one kilogram or one liter of iron ore to Japan.

gasoline.

However, many Japanese people know that southern Africa is the most developed country in the world.

Especially those Japanese who have the opportunity to go abroad, they have long understood the prosperity and wealth of Southern Africa through Southern Africa's best-selling movies around the world.

Yamaguchi Shota and Keiko have never left Japan before, but they also have a very in-depth understanding of southern Africa through the internal educational films of Tokyo Imperial University.

Southern African movies have no chance of being shown publicly in Japan.

Tokyo Imperial University can screen it in a small area internally. After all, to deal with the enemy, you must first understand the enemy.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we don't speak Japanese." Yamaguchi Shota is confident that he and Keiko can both speak Chinese and are very proficient in it.

In Japan, especially in the upper class society, learning Chinese is one of the basic education. Because you don’t know Chinese, you can’t even read Japanese ancient documents.

Yamaguchi Shota's parents were both from the upper class, so Yamaguchi Shota had the opportunity to learn Chinese. After his parents died in an accident, Yamaguchi Shota was responsible for educating Keiko to learn Chinese. He would leave homework for Keiko every day, and no outsiders were present.

At that time, Yamaguchi Shota and Keiko would communicate in Chinese as much as possible.

"Is this okay?" Keiko looked forward to it. She liked the beautiful little skirts of the southern African girls in the movie. She also liked the brightly lit cities at night in the movie. She also liked those colorful and cute toys.

It's a pity that all of the above only exist in movies and Keiko's dreams.

"We have to give it a try. How can we give up if we don't work hard?" Shota Yamaguchi is determined. Compared with Japan, southern Africa is paradise.

After daybreak, the parades on the streets have disappeared. The women who partyed all night last night have haggard expressions. They are going to work in the factory.

There were obviously many more police officers on the street, and their eyes were full of vigilance when looking at pedestrians, which further strengthened Shota Yamaguchi's judgment.

There is no such thing as victory, most likely an unprecedented defeat.

Even when Tokyo was hit by an air raid last time, the expressions of the policemen were never as serious as they are now.

"Please contribute to the warriors who are fighting on the front line. They need our support. Everything is for the empire. Thank you very much." There are a few girls on the street corner holding donation boxes to collect donations, but few pedestrians respond. Such donations have already been

It has been carried out many times, and ordinary people have no extra money to support the front line.

Oh, everything is for the empire and for the ruling class of the empire, right?

Yamaguchi Shota couldn't help but curse and walked quickly past the enthusiastic girls.

The atmosphere in the school is also solemn. Those who can enter Tokyo Imperial University are smart people and have their own discernment to some extent.

Of course, there are also enthusiasts who firmly believe in the news of victory.

"The U.S. Pacific Fleet has been completely annihilated by us. No matter how powerful Southern Africa is, it can only bow before our invincible combined fleet. The Empire of Japan has become one of the most powerful countries in the world. We and Germany are just

He is the master of the future world.”

A student named Matsushita Zhen was frothing at the mouth, his face turned red, and he was arguing loudly with the classmates around him.

"How is that possible? Have you read the newspaper carefully? A month ago the battle took place in Johor, and now the battle breaks out in Kota Bharu. If the combined fleet is invincible, then why is the battlefield getting closer to us?" A rational person

My classmates couldn’t help but fight back, please be sensible and patriotic, classmates.

"How can you say that? Are you questioning the strength of the combined fleet? If you were on the battlefield, you would probably run away before the battle broke out." Matsushita immediately slapped him with a big hat.

"I'm not questioning the strength of the combined fleet, I'm questioning the unfair distribution of military spending. If we could shift more resources to the army, then we should have captured Changi Naval Base." The rational classmate was very smart and immediately

Transform the contradictions between ourselves and the enemy into internal contradictions.

Yamaguchi Shota did not participate in the argument. He winked like his friend Yamaichiro and quietly walked to a deserted corner.

Waiting for Yamaichiro to come, Yamaguchi Shota was full of expectations.

"Did you get the ferry ticket?"

If you don’t have a ferry ticket to go to Saigon, you can’t swim there.

"No, but we can go to Saigon in the name of joining the army." Yamaichiro looked sad. The students of Tokyo Imperial University are not omnipotent.

"No, I can't leave Keiko alone." Yamaguchi Shota shook his head, Keiko was everything to Yamaguchi Shota.

"There is another way. We can take a French ship to Saigon, but it will cost a lot of money." Yamaichiro was in a low mood. Now there are only French ships that will not be attacked by the Allied forces.
