Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
Chapter 2477 Threat to World Peace
If the Axis powers win the World War, Mustache's act of tearing up the Munich Agreement will be the key to victory. Since the Age of Discovery, plunder has been the only way to get rich, and this is the moral standard of European countries.
There are always people who say that victory is just, and we don’t care about the process but only the results. Therefore, there are many shameless people in this world. They lie, cheat, and steal. As long as they can benefit their country, they will do anything.
From a national standpoint, even despicable things have just reasons as a footnote, and the only hidden danger lies in the future.
No country can be powerful. Sea coachmen, invincible fleets, and empires on which the sun never sets have all become things of yesterday. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. There really is a pair of eyes watching everything that happens in the world.
Therefore, those countries that lie, cheat, and steal will eventually suffer backlash from their victims, just like Germany in the future. No matter how rampant the war was in the early stages of the war, no matter how many crimes they committed against the victimized countries, they will eventually be repaid twice as much.
Southern Africa never lies. No matter how difficult the promise is, it will eventually be fulfilled. Only in this way can it gain the trust of other countries.
De Gaulle did not stay at Notre Dame Cathedral for long. Soon he walked out of Notre Dame Cathedral surrounded by guards, returned to the car and headed to the Elysée Palace with Patton.
In 1873, the Elysée Palace became the French presidential palace. For more than a hundred years, almost all the presidents of the French Republic worked and lived here.
When the Allied forces approached Paris, the Vichy government cabinet officials were forced to go to Germany, and the Elysée Palace was empty. If de Gaulle had the opportunity to become the president of France in the future, the Elysée Palace would also become de Gaulle's official residence.
It can be seen that Pétain also has feelings for the Elysée Palace. All facilities are operating as usual without any damage.
That's right, even if the Germans move the entire Elysée Palace to Berlin, after the war is over, the property plundered by Germany during the war will eventually be returned to its original owner, and everything will be in vain.
When he walked into the Elysée Palace, De Gaulle was filled with excitement.
When he fled Paris four years ago, he was just a brigadier general. At that time, France had surrendered, and de Gaulle was the only one who did not surrender. Only he himself knows how he persisted in the past four years.
"How do you feel?" Patton asked de Gaulle's mood.
"Great, the Elysée Palace has finally welcomed its new owner!" De Gaulle was full of confidence. It seems that communication with God is indeed very effective.
"I can only accompany you so far. The road ahead will be very difficult. I hope everything goes well for you." Patton expressed his sincere blessings. De Gaulle's mission has come to an end, and Patton will continue to fight.
Compared with de Gaulle's next task, Patton's task was very easy.
The peaceful liberation of Paris heralded the complete success of Operation Dragoon and also heralded the complete collapse of the German army in France.
Operation "Overlord" was also successful. After many days of bloody fighting, the Allied forces finally won the victory in the direction of Caen. The US military paid a price of nearly 40,000 people to capture Saint-Lô, and the British army lost nearly 30,000 people. The Germans were eliminated and captured.
127,000.
After the capture of Caen, the German troops in southern France have been completely eliminated. The Allied forces that invaded France from Spain have joined forces with the Allied forces that landed in Normandy. Now there is only one last task left, which is to occupy Calais.
German troops nearby.
Before the start of Operation Overlord, due to Rundstedt's misjudgment, the main German forces were concentrated in the Calais area to prepare for the Allied landing.
After the Allied forces landed in Normandy, Rundstedt was dismissed from his post by Mustache, and Kruger became the commander-in-chief of the German army. He carefully mobilized troops and adjusted the defense line, but in the end, he failed to care about one thing and was defeated across the board.
This cannot be blamed on Kruger. No matter who is replaced as the commander-in-chief of the German army, I am afraid it will not change the current result.
The gap in strength between the German army and the Allied forces is too great. The total strength of the Allied forces that invaded France from Spain, Normandy, and Toulon exceeds 2 million. The total strength of the German army in France is only 600,000.
Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their weapons, equipment and logistical supplies are also completely backward. This battle cannot be won no matter how hard it is fought.
While the Allies were launching Operation Overlord, there were still millions of British troops. This made Kruger afraid to mobilize Calais defense forces on a large scale to reinforce Normandy, otherwise the Allies would continue to attack Calais.
If they land, the German army will be defeated faster and the result will be more tragic.
Regrettably, after the capture of Caen, the internal conflicts within the Allies did not ease. Patton Jr., Montgomery, and Young Smoots were not satisfied. The three parties accused each other, and the lawsuit went to London, which directly affected the Canadian military.
Rai's attack.
During the entire "Overlord" operation, the U.S. military suffered the heaviest losses. The Allied casualties totaled 122,000, of which 73,000 were U.S. troops. As the main commander of the U.S. military, Patton Jr. could not bear the blame.
After the capture of St. Lo, Patton Jr. sent a telegram to Eisenhower complaining about the insufficient support given by the Southern African Army and the British Army to the US military, which resulted in the US military fighting alone in St. Lo. Patton Jr. regarded this as a loss of 40,000 US troops.
The main reason for people.
Montgomery was also dissatisfied. The reason for his dissatisfaction was that the southern African army and the US military had no cooperation at all during the battle. As a result, the British army faced the siege of six German divisions alone. The British army suffered losses in Operation Overlord.
45,000 people, which is a bit small compared to the losses of the US military, but compared to the southern African army——
Well, 7.3 plus 4.5 equals 11.8.
In other words, the losses of the southern African army in Operation Overlord were only about 4,000 people.
The key to the problem is that the southern African army destroyed and captured the largest number of German troops.
This is so embarrassing.
Yang Shimozi was also dissatisfied.
The U.S. military's performance in Operation Overlord was more than brave but insufficient in strategy.
The British went even further. The colonial servant army made up the numbers, and the real British troops stayed in the British mainland to defend against the German landing——
Listen to this reason. Is it human talk?
Germany has completely given up landing on the British mainland after the failure of Operation "Sea Lion". Now the German navy is blocked in the home port and dare not even leave the door. Only a few submarines break through the blockade and leave the port to attack when the Allies are not paying attention. In this case, is it possible?
Is Germany capable of landing on British soil?
Mustache will probably laugh out loud if he finds out.
Although the British army held back the enemy in various ways, overtly and covertly, but could not change the outcome of Operation Overlord, this kind of behavior of a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist still made Yang Shimozi feel chilled.
Even the troops sent by the Free French were more powerful than the British troops, yet Montgomery still had the nerve to complain about the lack of cooperation from friendly forces——
Faced with the complaints from his commanders, Eisenhower tried hard to mediate, but this was seriously beyond his ability. Except for Patton Jr., he maintained due respect for Eisenhower and did not report it to superiors. Yang Shimo
Capital and Montgomery sent telegrams directly to Pretoria and London respectively, so the matter ultimately had to be resolved by the Big Three.
The Big Three are currently discussing where to hold a meeting.
Considering that the U.S. election was about to begin and it was impossible for Roosevelt to leave Washington, Rock and Winston agreed to go to Washington for a meeting. The three of them met first, and then went to St. Petersburg to join the Russians.
The Washington meeting was less about how to deal with Germany and Japan after the war than about how to contain Russia's threat to Europe.
Winston felt this most deeply.
As a staunch anti-Russian, Winston had no mercy for the Russians even if 30 million people died in Russia during the world war.
Not only did he show no mercy, Winston also questioned the figure of 30 million. When he was in London, Winston regarded this figure as blackmail by the Russians against their allies.
"It can't be 30 million. I doubt the polar bear has any idea how many people there are in Russia. If 30 million people died in Russia, Russia would have collapsed long ago, and it would be impossible to turn defeat into victory -" Winston's mouth was vicious enough.
"Don't underestimate the determination of the Russians. The war is not over yet, so this number will increase." Roque believed that the bearded man would not lie about this kind of thing.
In the early days of the war, Russia's war reports were indeed watery.
In the Russian battle report, if the losses of the German army on the Russian battlefield in the first year of the war are counted, the Germans have died 1.1 times per capita.
This is one of the reasons for Winston's doubts.
The Russians report the good news but not the bad news in their battle reports, exaggerating or minimizing the number of German casualties, or even not saying how many people they lost, so Russia's losses are not commensurate.
After the Battle of Volgograd, as the Russian army began to counterattack, Russia's battle reports gradually returned to normal. As a result, Russia's losses increased rapidly from 5 million before the Battle of Volgograd to 30 million now.
Without considering the background, this number is outrageous, and the punctuation marks cannot be trusted.
"Even if all the Russians die, it is impossible for us to give even one penny more support to the Russians. The threat from the Russians is now great enough. For the sake of world peace, we must take action." Winston immediately revealed his true colors.
Russia's war potential is indeed surprising. Even after losing 30 million people, Russia still has more than 10 million troops on the battlefield.
Don't forget, these are young adults.
So what Winston said is actually correct.
After the end of the last world war, Britain and France lamented that an entire generation had been wiped out.
This is somewhat exaggerated.
Russia is the one that truly shines a light on a generation.
The scary thing is that Russia still seems to have war potential.
Since last winter, more than 80% of Russia's newly formed troops have been armored units.
Russia's armored force standards are different from those in the UK. In the UK, an army division only needs to be equipped with one tank regiment, and it is considered an armored division.
Russia's armored forces are almost all tank regiments. When the Allies insisted on infantry-tank coordination in France, the Russians had already implemented a real tank decisive battle in the Battle of Kursk last winter.
Southern Africa is in the southern hemisphere. Even if Russia builds another 10 million armored forces, it will be difficult to push it to southern Africa.
The UK is right next to the European continent. Just because a mustache can't cross the English Channel doesn't mean a big beard can't either.
Even if the bearded man does not fall out with Britain, if Russia gains absolute advantage on the European continent, Britain will be completely marginalized.
This is also unacceptable to Winston.
"The federal government of Southern Africa has stopped military assistance to Russia. After the Tehran Conference, the supplies sent to Russia are limited to civilian supplies." Roque firmly supports the results of the Tehran Conference.
It is the United States that really failed to abide by the agreement.
After the Tehran Conference, the United States continued to provide military support to Russia through the Arctic route.
This was obviously to continue to add fuel to the fire for Russia. Winston rushed to meet with Roark before Roosevelt, with the purpose of reaching an agreement and jointly exerting pressure on the United States.
Americans never want to see a peaceful and stable Europe.
Both world wars had a lot to do with the United States' unprincipled "free trade."
Southern Africa is also a supporter of "free trade" and has made huge profits under the banner of "free trade".
However, compared to the United States, Southern Africa still has principles.
"It's not just military supplies, we have to ensure that not even a needle or a grain of grain can be sent to Russia -" Winston said without hesitation. He seemed to have forgotten that Russia is a grain exporting country.
If there is a country in the world that can be truly self-sufficient, it is undoubtedly Russia.
Russia has an area of nearly 20 million square kilometers, which is almost twice the size of the United States.
So when European countries were meeting in Berlin and were busy carving up Africa, Russia was not very interested because its own country's territory had not yet been fully developed.
Before World War II, Russia had begun to play the role of a supplier to Europe, focusing on oil and grain, especially Germany.
Without the supply of resources from Russia, it would be difficult for Mustache to accumulate the power to sweep Europe.
From this perspective, Russia is also shooting itself in the foot.
Compared with Russia, the United Kingdom is a standard resource importing country.
"Well, before that, why don't you ask the British businessmen if they are willing to cut off trade with Russia?" Rock was not optimistic about the blockade of Russia, and Winston's idea was too idealistic.
During the two world wars, it was not just the United States and Russia that were doing business with the Germans. The United Kingdom was also constantly at war with the Germans.
Britain gave blood transfusions to Germany in order to balance France.
"In terms of trade with Russia, you, Southern Africa and the United States are the big ones -" Winston has no ability to restrict British businessmen. This is unreasonable. Only you British can make Russian money, but southern Africans can't?
Southern Africans have nothing against money.
"Winston, if you think so, then there is no need for us to go to Washington." Rock said bluntly.
Winston could not restrict British businessmen, and Roosevelt could not restrict American businessmen.
The United States will hold an election soon. Roosevelt needs the votes of American businessmen very much, so it is impossible for Roosevelt to restrict trade with Russia, otherwise Roosevelt will be kicked out of the White House.
In this regard, the president of the United States faces greater pressure than the prime minister of the United Kingdom.
