Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Molotov's report must have been mixed with a lot of water. The Allies estimated that the German casualties in the Battle of Volgograd should be around 1.5 million, and the Russian casualties were 3 million.

It is also understandable that the Allied forces will actually add water when publishing battle reports.

Since the outbreak of the World War, if the number of German casualties in all battles is added up, the Germans have now died on average once.

According to Free French propaganda, Germany also lost 270,000 people in the Battle of France, which was ten times the real number.

Rock could understand Molotov's feelings in seeking help.

But it would be unjust to exaggerate the performance of the Russian army and make the North African Allies appear to be mentally retarded.

"Since the outbreak of the war, we have lost 20 million people. The great Russia has withstood all the attacks of the German army. The fighting is unprecedentedly fierce. We continue to fight -" Molotov was still very well prepared. His number should be

It is true.

Data falsification is also a technical job. Excessive loss reporting damages morale and makes one's own army appear incompetent.

The report was too small and not tragic enough. When we asked for help, we were not confident or strong enough, and the weight was not enough.

An actor put out his hands and asked for alms everywhere with a shy face. Russians can't do this kind of thing.

Of course, not all of the 20 million people here are soldiers, they should also include civilians.

Leaving aside other places, St. Petersburg, which has been besieged for two and a half years, has suffered 1 million civilian casualties, excluding Russian soldiers.

The siege of St. Petersburg broke out on September 9, 1941, and it has now been more than two and a half years.

For nearly 900 days and nights, the Russians did not flinch in the face of the German army's crazy attack, and used their fearless fighting spirit to keep the German army out of the city. The German army had to change tactics, stop attacking and instead besiege, trying to use indiscriminate bombing to destroy St. Petersburg.

Razed to the ground.

The Russians will never surrender, even if they fight to the last man, they will never surrender, which is in sharp contrast to the French.

Therefore, some countries are best at talking nonsense, while others are ruthless and don't talk much.

It's useless no matter how loud you shout, we'll see.

At the beginning of this year, the Russians began to counterattack, focusing 2,000 artillery pieces on the German positions in the Schlusselburg area for two hours of fierce artillery fire.

Subsequently, the Russian 61st Army and the 2nd Assault Army launched ground attacks against the Germans from the north and south respectively.

After seven days of fierce fighting, the Russian army successfully penetrated the German positions and broke through the 17-month siege of St. Petersburg by the German army.

Breaking the encirclement does not mean the end of the war. There are still a large number of German troops around St. Petersburg. The Russians are preparing for a new attack, which will probably be another battle of annihilation.

Mustache is now crazy and cannot listen to any suggestions. Even if the German troops on the front line are faced with an extremely unfavorable situation, Mustache will not allow the German troops to retreat. This is the case in Volgograd and the same is true in North Africa.

"Russia has made outstanding contributions to defeating the Axis Powers. More than 90% of the Axis Powers' troops were eliminated in Russia. It can be said that Russia has single-handedly preserved the fire of civilization around the world.

——" Molotov boasted wildly. It was rare for him to experience such a big scene.

Don't laugh, it's true.

Russia has been excluded from mainstream society for too long. Top European newspapers and periodicals rarely publish news about Russia, and even when they do, it is mostly negative news.

The Casablanca Conference is the largest conference on the Allied side since the outbreak of the World War. Major newspapers, magazines, radio broadcasts, and television stations around the world have sent reporting teams to Casablanca. There are now nearly 300 reporters at the press conference.

This opportunity must not be missed.

Molotov's character is the same as Big Beard's, he is a bit obsessed with success.

Such a good opportunity must be trumpeted.

"This guy's boasting is too outrageous. Did we give him too much time?" Winston is too fat and sitting for a long time affects his health.

The key is that several prime ministers, presidents, and commanders-in-chief are serving as background for Molotov. The press conference time is limited, and Molotov takes up so long, the time of others has to be compressed.

Too much.

"It's rare for Russians to have a chance to perform, so don't be in a hurry." Rock wasn't angry. No matter how much Molotov said, it was useless. He would probably just be a piece of tofu in the newspaper.

This is the benefit of controlling the right to speak.

Russia's contribution in World War II was indeed great, and this is obvious to all.

But in a few decades, the Americans will be able to confuse right and wrong and erase Russia's contribution to World War II.

It's the same in other countries. You can rely on you for things that are obviously false. It's useless not to admit it. Even if you explain it, someone has to be willing to listen.

Don't ask for an explanation.

Didn't even give him a chance to defend himself.

Nowadays, the mainstream media in various countries are basically controlled by capital. It does not matter what the reporter says about what is published in the newspaper. The editor must agree to publish the article and the capital behind the editor.

The press conference lasted two hours, with Molotov alone occupying half an hour, and then Rock, Winston, and Roosevelt's time was shortened to varying degrees.

Winston's speech was very brief. He avoided reporters' questions and kept silent about the second battlefield and the assistance to the Russian battlefield.

Roosevelt was enthusiastic and very good at dealing with reporters. He was known as the American president who was best at dealing with reporters. Otherwise, he would have been reelected for four terms.

"The United States will open a second battlefield in the shortest time. We already have a plan, but please forgive me for not being able to elaborate - we will also increase our assistance to Russia, whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment or strategic strength.

"We will do our best to share the pressure on the Russian battlefield -" Roosevelt would be very talkative and comprehensive.

"——We are fighting against the evil forces of the Axis powers in East Asia and North Africa, and then the European continent. I believe that victory will eventually belong to us. The Germans, Italians, and Japanese must surrender unconditionally and accept the justice of justice!"

Roosevelt was impassioned. This was the first time that an Allied leader formally proposed the standard of "unconditional surrender" in public.

Unconditional surrender refers to the surrender of a defeated country to a victorious country without reservations.

Before that, including World War I, the surrender of defeated countries was negotiated.

During the last world war, although the German negotiating delegation was under house arrest and had no chance to participate in negotiations, the Treaty of Versailles still retained some dignity for the Germans, such as the 100,000-strong Wehrmacht force.

Unconditional surrender does not require negotiation. The defeated country must honestly let the victorious country handle the matter. The only thing it can do is to sign the Treaty, and no demands can be made.

"Isn't this too harsh?" Winston whispered to Rock again. Roosevelt must have not communicated with Winston before.

"No, we must completely end the possibility of war this time." Roque agreed. Germany and Italy aside, Japan must surrender unconditionally, and it must not even retain the Self-Defense Forces.

It would be best if even security were handed over to the umbrella company. The only offensive weapon that can be retained in Japan is a kitchen knife.

In another time and space, Japan's gradual loosening of ties is the result of regional balance under the confrontation between the United States and Russia. The United States needs Japan to have certain offensive capabilities so that Japan can better serve U.S. interests.

Don't think about it in this time and space. The Japanese can only be obedient people. Southern Africa will not give Japan any chance.

As for whether the war can be completely ended, Roark can only say this whether it is possible or not.

Roosevelt's speech did not last long, and it was Rock's time next.

"Lord Nyasaland, when the Allied forces in the Far East recaptured Saigon, more than 50,000 civilians died in the fighting. What do you think of this?" The first question was asked by a French reporter.

It has the name of the newspaper company on it and the colors are different, making it easy to recognize.

This question is very acute.

Just like the Germans attacked St. Petersburg, Angie also bombed Saigon indiscriminately.

The Japanese's fighting will is much worse than that of the Russians. It was also a siege. The Russians persisted for two and a half years, but the Japanese lasted even two months and were completely wiped out.

This is of course also related to the huge gap in equipment. The Germans have tanks, and so do the Russians. Although the Germans' technology is more advanced, it has not yet reached the point of generational difference.

The Japanese army holding on to Saigon had no armored troops, few artillery pieces, and no air support. It would be good if they could hold on for two months.

"More than 1 million civilians have died in St. Petersburg. You should ask the Germans this question." Rock didn't answer directly. No matter how he answered, it would be wrong.

Many French people stubbornly believe that Saigon is France's Saigon, and the Allied forces should exercise restraint when fighting and not be as unscrupulous as when fighting in the enemy's territory.

St. Petersburg is a Russian city, and the citizens of St. Petersburg are all Russians. The Germans must have no scruples, and everything will be based on victory.

Saigon is the capital of French Indochina, and the people living there are nominally French. Angel's actions will definitely arouse opposition from the French.

"Shouldn't soldiers protect civilians when fighting? The southern African army has always regarded itself as just. The Saigon people expected the Allies to rescue them from the brutal rule of the Japanese. They must not have expected that the Allies were more powerful than the Japanese.

Brutal——" The reporter probably has relatives in Saigon, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.

This is not a normal question. It involves the venting of strong emotions.

Immediately, two special agents from the Palace of Justice in black suits came to the reporter and politely asked the reporter to leave the scene and not to disrupt the order of the scene.

"I am a reporter, I have the right to interview -" the reporter struggled desperately.

The secret service officers were rude and lifted the person away with their hands lifted. The reporters around him were busy taking pictures. This was a rare big news.

Rock looked on with cold eyes and made no intention to stop the secret service personnel.

Some people are always confused about the situation. From the outbreak of the World War to the present, the Katyn Forest Massacre, the Bataan Death March, and various appalling atrocities in the German prisoner-of-war camps have not been reported, but have focused on every move of the Allied forces.

This is no longer a journalistic attitude, it is simply an act of espionage.

Rock waited until the reporter was dragged away before speaking.

"When the Far East Allied Forces surrounded Saigon, they allowed time for civilians to evacuate the city. The reason why those civilians did not evacuate was due to the obstruction of the Japanese. The Japanese tried to use civilians as human shields to prevent the Allied offensive——

"Roker's voice was low, and the reporters were silent, truly feeling the cruelty of the war.

"——I hope everyone can understand that this is a war that determines the fate of all mankind. Victory or death, there is no third option. Saigon citizens had countless opportunities to escape Saigon, but they did not do so. This is not a shirking of responsibility.

, but everyone must pay the price for their own choices." Roque is really not trying to pass the blame, he is also saying this to Giro.

Didn't Giraud want to return to French Indochina?

This is wishful thinking.

Since France has stopped resisting, it must accept the price of stopping resistance. Otherwise, everyone will be like the French, surrendering and hedging their bets. So how should we protect the interests of the allies who are determined to fight?

?

There are some things that Rock can't say too directly.

In the last world war, Italy jumped repeatedly and finally succeeded in gaining the status of a victorious nation. It was no different from the United Kingdom, France, and southern Africa who paid a huge price.

This is obviously unfair.

The reason why the French surrendered so happily this time was also due to the influence of the Italians.

Since Italy can jump over and over again without any punishment, why should France risk losing a generation and fight the Germans to the end?

If this momentum is not resolutely stopped, what if the Russians follow suit?

Although this possibility is low, it is not impossible.

"Sir, the battle in North Africa is over. What are the next battle plans in Southern Africa?" Someone finally asked a reliable question. That's right.

"Southern Africa is fighting enemies on multiple battlefields. In Asia, Europe, and Africa, Southern African soldiers appear on almost all battlefields. As long as there is fighting, there will be Southern African soldiers. I want to correct a statistic of Mr. Foreign Minister.

, So far, southern African soldiers have wiped out more than 2 million enemies, and we have not just stood aside -" Roque's number is not watertight, it is more than 2 million.

The Japanese troops accounted for the vast majority of these 2 million troops. After the two battles in the Philippines and Malaya, more than 1 million Japanese troops were wiped out in southern Africa.

This does not include the losses caused to Japan by bombing the Japanese mainland.

"——Southern Africa is also responsible for providing logistical support to allies. As of last month, Southern Africa has provided weapons and equipment worth 19 billion rand to allies, as well as various strategic materials, from aircraft and tanks to medicines and food.

Everything is included." Rock also has a lot of data to list, and it is better than Molotov.

The reporters were extremely serious and were very busy taking pictures and recording. Some reporters did not dare to raise their hands if they wanted to ask questions. Hundreds of Secret Service staff were all around them. Anyone who dared not open their eyes would be locked in a small dark room first.
