Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
2289 Just blow it
The United States only entered the war after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. In the words of Time Magazine, if it did not take active action, the United States would not be qualified to participate in post-war international affairs.
The so-called "international affairs" are actually the distribution of interests.
After the last world war, the United States gained almost nothing, and southern Africa became a supplier to most of Europe.
Americans don't want to be absent this time, for obvious reasons.
Old colonial countries such as Britain and France have lost their dominance over the world.
If Americans still insist on "glorious isolation", they will not even be able to save America.
Although Glorious Isolation was proposed by the British, it is essentially similar to the American Monroe Doctrine.
In 1896, when the then British Prime Minister Salisbury delivered a speech at a banquet hosted by the Mayor of London, he elaborated on "glorious isolation" as a foreign policy, pointing out that the United Kingdom should not join any alliances or groups and maintain freedom of action to facilitate the manipulation of Europe.
balance of power.
The word "manipulation" is important. To put it bluntly, it means helping whoever wins. It has nothing to do with whether it is democratic and just.
European countries are not stupid and will not let Britain manipulate them.
Therefore, during the Second Boer War, Britain was targeted by the entire Europe.
In the more than 20 years since the end of the last world war, Americans must have reflected on this.
Since being outside of Europe can no longer maximize the benefits for the United States, it must actively integrate into Europe and not let Europe become a monologue for the United Kingdom and southern Africa.
"I think we have fully realized the pain caused by the war. It is time to end all this as soon as possible and use a new way to resolve conflicts and disputes - opening a second battlefield in Europe as soon as possible can effectively alleviate the Russian battlefield
If we land in France, we will face more difficulties, but the containment effect will be greater - opening a second battlefield in Italy will directly attack the weak links of the Axis powers, and we may even have a chance
Pull Italy into our camp." Roosevelt was very proactive, and his plan could only be realized with the cooperation of southern Africa and the United Kingdom.
In the Mediterranean and the English Channel, the United States is still a bit weak. Without the cooperation of southern Africa and the United Kingdom, the U.S. Navy cannot even find a port in this range that can provide supplies.
The United States today is not the United States that will have military bases all over the world in the future.
Britain's plan to exchange destroyers for islands is with southern Africa. Although the Americans also want to do this, Britain does not agree.
The exchange of destroyers for islands in another time and space was actually taking advantage of the situation. At that time, Britain was already unsustainable and could not even build destroyers for escort, so it had to agree to the American request.
In this time and space, the UK has more choices. Destroyers manufactured in southern Africa can also meet the UK's requirements. They are cheap, of good quality and technologically advanced. There is no need for the UK to look far away.
"Close" here does not refer to distance, but to relationship and geostrategy.
The straight-line distance between the United Kingdom and the United States is about 4,500 kilometers, separated by the Atlantic Ocean without any barriers.
The straight-line distance between the United Kingdom and southern Africa is more than 6,000 kilometers, and Europe and North Africa are also separated in the middle. The mountains are high and the roads are long.
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?
If there must be a country that can replace Britain and become the leader of the world in the future.
Britain would rather this country be southern Africa than the United States.
At least the capital of Southern Africa has not gone through one round of economic crisis or another and has deprived the wealthy British men of all their money.
So Americans are very embarrassed now.
After the "Washington Naval Conference", the United States obtained the same capital ship tonnage as the United Kingdom and established the most powerful fleet in the world.
The power of the U.S. Navy around the world is seriously inconsistent with its strength. Except for the Americas and East Asia, the U.S. Navy does not even have a qualified military base in other regions.
After the United States entered the war, U.S. Navy warships obtained the right to use some British ports.
It is just for use and can be stopped by the UK at any time.
The same is true in the Mediterranean. US Navy warships can pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and enter Algiers, but that's it. Even Malta is not open to the US Navy.
Malta exchanged the island for a destroyer, which has been leased by the Southern African federal government, but it can only be used in the commercial field. Under normal circumstances, the Southern African navy cannot enter or exit the port at will.
There are loopholes in this agreement. Whether the situation is normal or not, it must be the federal government of Southern Africa that has the final say. The British government will probably pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Mr. President, the performance of the Italians on the Russian battlefield is not weak. If we land in Sicily, we will also face huge difficulties." Roque said very straightforwardly. This was to remind Roosevelt, and at the same time, he also looked down on the combat effectiveness of the US military.
mean.
"On the Russian battlefield, Italians would be executed if they surrendered. Our attitude towards prisoners of war was completely different from that of the Russians." Roosevelt must have considered this factor, and the US president also had a think tank.
As long as the war continues, there will definitely be losses. The key depends on whether the gains can cover the losses.
The relationship between the United States, Britain and France has lagged far behind that of southern Africa.
The Axis Powers are the best breakthrough point for the United States, and Americans will definitely not give up.
This again involves the element of hatred.
The Allies and the Axis Powers have been at war for so long, and the two sides have already engaged in a bloody feud. They will not be resolved by a piece of peace agreement after the war. This gives the Americans an opportunity.
After all, the Americans caused the least harm to the Axis powers among the Allies.
"Well, if you insist -" Rock didn't object. Since Americans think they are strong-willed, they should give it a try. After all, southern Africa is definitely not the loser.
Southern Africa has been in secret contact with the Italians for a long time, but the conditions were too different, so no results were reached.
Southern Africa demanded unconditional surrender from Italy.
The Italians' demands are the same as those of the last world war, they do not accept any conditions, and after the war, as a victorious country, Italy will enjoy all the rights that the victorious country has.
This is purely wishful thinking. During the last world war, Britain and France were not strong enough, so they gave Italy the opportunity to steal the chicken.
Now that Italy wants to do the same thing again, it depends on whether southern Africa agrees.
If the Italians can succeed this time, then it will be bad. If there is another war in the future, the country can take any side. Anyway, it can jump back at any time without any punishment.
There are so many exiled governments in the UK, but they actually have the same purpose as Italy, they are all waiting to seize the fruits of victory after the war. It's a beautiful idea.
After the war ends, with the exception of France, other countries that have established governments in exile will most likely not be able to gain enough fruits of victory and will have to pay the price for their actions during the war.
France has now paid the price. If De Gaulle does not give up French Indochina, he will not receive the full support of the southern African federal government.
After the Battle of Volgograd, the Italians' demands remained unchanged, and the patience of the southern African federal government was rapidly dwindling.
At the end of the Battle of Moscow, it was understandable that the Italians made misjudgments. After all, the German army still dominated the Russian battlefield at that time.
After the Battle of Volgograd, if the Italians were still stubborn, it was a serious error in judgment.
While the Casablanca conference was taking place, contacts in Pretoria, Southern Africa and Italy were ongoing.
Tony Piola has been feeling very uncomfortable recently. The treatment given to him by the Southern African federal government is being reduced, and Tony Piola is required to cooperate with the work of relevant departments in Southern Africa. Otherwise, the Southern African federal government will treat Tony Piola according to the standards of ordinary prisoners.
Ola.
The so-called treatment that matches the status does not mean that you are provided with good food and drink, and you don't have to do anything.
The Kingdom of Italy provides logistical supplies to the army in the hope that the army will fight for the country and work hard.
This tradition was formed in Europe because nobles were captured in wars and had to pay a ransom fee consistent with their status, so this tradition came into being.
Those who did not pay for their bodies were hanged.
Axis prisoners of war who surrendered to the southern African army must accept the work arrangements of the prisoner of war camp in order to enjoy normal prisoner treatment, otherwise they will wait to starve to death. Prisoner of war camps are not charitable institutions.
Ordinary Axis prisoners of war had to work in exchange for food to fill their stomachs.
Senior military officers such as Tony Piola must cooperate with the Southern African propaganda agencies to carry out propaganda, otherwise they will just wait to starve to death.
"I am negotiating with you on behalf of the Kingdom of Italy. Shouldn't I enjoy the treatment of a diplomat?" Tony Piola was very dissatisfied. He didn't even have wine at his recent dinner. This was clearly a deliberate neglect.
After coming to Pretoria for so long, Tony Piola finally has a deep understanding of the living standards of southern Africans.
Tony Piola not only visited museums in Pretoria, but also visited ordinary families in southern Africa to understand the living standards of southern Africans.
Needless to say about the farm.
Farmers in southern Africa are all invisible rich. In the words of Tony Piola, the living standards of ordinary aristocratic families in the Italian countryside are not as good as those of ordinary farmers in southern Africa.
The conditions of urban families are worse than those of farmers, which is mainly reflected in the living area.
However, urban families have more convenient living services, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Even the poorest southern African family's living standard is about the same as the middle level in Italy. At least the man of the house can still afford to drink table wine with dinner.
"General Piola, let me correct you first. We are not negotiating. We are just having friendly exchanges on the possibility of Italy withdrawing from the war. And you are not a diplomat. You are our prisoner -" Translator Vita
Leigh didn't look good, and Tony Piola obviously didn't know what was going on.
When Tony Piola first came to Pretoria, the person who came to receive Tony Piola was the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa, who valued Tony Piola very much.
The work of the deputy chief was also very busy. As time went by, the person responsible for communicating with Tony Piola was changed to the secretary, and from the first class to the third class. Now this work is mainly handled by Vitaly.
Talking and talking can't produce any results. The lion just keeps talking and only wants to gain benefits without paying the price. No matter how much patience you have, it will be completely exhausted.
"Oh, Mr. Vitali, do you think that the Kingdom of Italy is no longer important enough to make you pay a huge price? Look at the performance of the Italian army in Volgograd. Italy is definitely qualified to be one of the victorious countries." Tony.
·Piola is arrogant. The federal government of Southern Africa does not restrict Tony Piola’s access to information. Tony Piola can easily buy various newspapers and magazines. He even has a radio and TV in his room.
, as well as household appliances such as washing machines and air conditioners.
The electrical appliance industry in Southern Africa has developed rapidly in recent years, especially household appliances, which have taken an increasingly important role in the economic field of Southern Africa.
Before the outbreak of the World War, radio had just become popular, and television was still a new thing. There were only a few channels that regularly broadcast television programs, and the types of programs were also limited.
There are now nearly a hundred TV stations in southern Africa. Pretoria alone has 4 TV stations with more than 1,000 users. After moving movies to TV, TV series have become the new favorite of TV, and TV shopping has also begun.
Appear and let a hundred flowers bloom.
This situation is not conducive to the control of public opinion, nor is it conducive to the growth of the TV station.
The federal government of Southern Africa has realized this problem and is consolidating TV stations. In the future, only the strongest channels in Southern Africa may be left, and the largest ones will definitely be controlled by the federal government.
"Come on, General, we are in North Africa, but 250,000 Italian soldiers have just laid down their arms. Are there still 250,000 troops in Italy now?" Vitali is of Italian origin, but he doesn't have much affection for Italy.
It is meaningless to emphasize ethnicity in southern Africa. The Chinese, the most populous, are not Tianlong people like the British who were once the mother country. They will be punished the same way if they commit crimes. The same crime will not happen. The Chinese will be sentenced to three months, and the Germans will be sentenced to three years.
Condition.
Vitaly immigrated to southern Africa with his family twenty years ago. He was too young at the time and had no memory of Italy. It was normal to have no feelings.
The situation in Italy is also very bad now.
Before World War II officially broke out, Italy frequently took action, fanning the flames of the Spanish Civil War and North Africa.
At the peak of the Spanish Civil War, more than 200,000 Italian troops participated, accounting for approximately one-third of Franco's total rebel forces.
Invading the Abyssinian Empire, Fat Bald sent 500,000 people, but all of them were lost in Abyssinia and North Africa.
Now in Italy, including the new recruits recruited this year, the number is about 300,000. Otherwise, Fat Bald would not have no troops to send at the most critical time of the North African campaign.
It is precisely because of this that the Americans are eager to land in Sicily.
"Nonsense, Italy has a population of 45 million, and we can recruit tens of millions of troops at any time." Tony Piola said this so hard that he felt guilty.
