Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Chapter 2485 Looking at the tank and seeing vomiting

The several nuclear power accidents in Roque's memory each had far-reaching consequences, so the first nuclear power plant in southern Africa was not built in Pretoria or Los Angeles, but in Walvis Bay.

Southern Africa is relatively rich in water resources. During the Great Depression, a number of water conservancy facilities were built in Southern Africa, which largely solved the power shortage problem in Southern Africa.

After the outbreak of the world war, the industrial level of southern Africa improved again, the demand for electricity continued to increase, the existing electricity supply began to be insufficient, and Roque was unwilling to build more thermal power plants. The birth of nuclear power came at the right time.

Compared with nuclear power plants, Winston's need for atomic bombs is more urgent. Now Britain is in great need of deterrent weapons such as atomic bombs. On the premise that it cannot maintain the world's largest navy, atomic bombs have become a big killer for Britain to maintain its deterrence.

.

Of course Russia needs it too.

Through the war, Big Beard established the largest armored force in the world. Even Rock felt threatened. Compared with the United Kingdom, Russia was a standard land power country. Before the outbreak of the world war, Russia had the largest tank force in the world.

The total number reaches more than 20,000 vehicles.

Nowadays, Russia alone produces 20,000 tanks every year. It seems that the bearded man has never considered this issue.

We are still in the midst of a war, so the more tanks we have, the better.

After the war is over, there will be so many tank factories that cannot all be transformed into making tractors. What a waste that will cause.

Of course, this is not a problem for Russia. Big Beard never considers whether it is wasteful when doing things, only whether there is demand. If the number of Russian tanks can make Roque feel scared, then Big Beard will have achieved his goal.

It's just quantity. The armored force also has limitations. Just like the British cannot drive powerful battleships ashore, no matter how many tanks they have, they cannot go to sea and cannot reach southern Africa.

What's more, the performance of Russian tanks has always been a problem. The battle situation in the early stages of the Russo-German War showed that the more tanks, the better. In that case, the Germans would not be able to advance straight in.

The bearded man obviously wants to show his strength to his allies through the St. Petersburg Conference.

So the day after the allies arrived in St. Petersburg, Bearded arranged a military parade for Rock and Winston Roosevelt.

The Russians have always been very knowledgeable about military parades. Rock still remembers the most critical stage of the Moscow Battle, when the Russian army went directly to the battlefield after the Red Square military parade. That battle was soul-stirring and truly demonstrated Russia's

Military might.

The first to appear in the military parade was the T34. This tank born in 1940 is no longer technically advanced, but its importance to the Russian army is undoubted. The results of the Kursk battle showed that the T34 may be the most suitable for large corps operations.

The tank is an excellent tank with well-balanced firepower, protection, speed and other aspects.

The German "King Tiger" is indeed very powerful in some aspects, but speed is a fatal shortcoming, which determines the upper limit of the "King Tiger".

By the way, the "King Tiger" also appeared in the military parade, which the Russians captured during the Battle of Kursk.

Compared with T34, what really makes Rock wary is the IS series.

The IS is named after Big Beard himself, which fully proves the importance the Russian army attaches to this tank.

After the Battle of Kursk, Russia combined the designs of KV-85 and KV-1S, added stronger firepower and armor, and thus came the IS.

The prototype of the IS was called IS-85, and after production it was named IS-1. Later, the Russians transplanted the IS-1 turret to the T-34 and produced the most famous T-34/85.

In September last year, IS-1 appeared on the battlefield for the first time.

This year, the Russians strengthened their firepower based on the IS-1 and developed the IS-2.

This is not the peak yet. Rock has absolutely reason to believe that the Russians are definitely developing the IS-3, but whether it can catch up with a world war is uncertain.

The bearded style of doing things was vividly demonstrated in this military parade.

There is no infantry phalanx, and there is no mass parade. The bearded people are simple and crude. First there are tanks, followed by self-propelled artillery, then tanks, and then self-propelled artillery, as endless as a greedy snake.

A single tank phalanx would not move Rock's face.

Quantitative changes always lead to qualitative changes. When the exhaust gas produced by the tank engine began to make Rock feel uncomfortable, Roosevelt finally raised a heart-shaking question.

“How many tanks does Russia produce now?”

Rock had no answer.

Russia is very mysterious to its allies. Big Beard is willing to show its strength to its allies, but he will not show all its strength. Roque does not know how much Russian tank production is now. He can only speculate based on the production of IS-2.

, 20,000 vehicles per year is only a lot more.

The IS-2 was finalized earlier this year, and at least 1,500 units have been produced so far.

Coupled with the large number of T34 series and the KV that has not yet been eliminated, perhaps only the bearded man himself knows how many armored troops Russia can produce every year if it goes all out.

"So I say that it is unreasonable to continue to provide support to Russia-" Winston whispered in Rock's ear.

Don't speak loudly. The bearded man is right next to Roosevelt. If the bearded man hears these words, Winston may not be able to leave the parade ground. The bearded man can definitely do this kind of thing.

"Let's put it another way, Winston, this is not necessarily a bad thing -" Rock's thinking was broad, and Winston was suddenly confused.

In another time and space, Rock has already experienced the power of Russia.

Just like the "Tiger King", Russia's strength has fatal shortcomings. The bearded man's aggressive character determines Russia's fate. Russia may be able to produce more than 20,000 tanks every year, but it cannot produce enough to satisfy all Russians.

Needed light industrial products.

This production model will not cause problems during the war. The Russians will definitely have opinions as time goes by. As long as public opinion is properly guided, emm——

Of course, there is no way to explain this to Winston. From a certain perspective, the UK also has this problem.

Russia's top-heavy problem can be solved as long as the bearded man realizes it.

The problem in Britain is more serious and cannot be solved even if Winston realizes it. This is also the fundamental reason why southern African products and American products flood the British market.

The definition of London as a global financial center is very dangerous. Rich British people have all gone into finance. Who will invest in industry?

Since the beginning of the new century, large companies in southern Africa and the United States have emerged one after another. When it comes to the United Kingdom, people seem to only have an impression of the London Financial Street.

The large number of tanks will also cause aesthetic fatigue. The steel lumps are actually very monotonous and not interesting to look at. Therefore, Southern Africa will try to incorporate more elements during military parades, so as to meet the spiritual needs of different groups of people.

Russia's pure aesthetics of violence, a full two-hour tank parade, made the air pollution at the parade ground worse than in London in winter.

Rock stood at first to show respect for the bearded man.

But after Winston sat down, Rock couldn't bear it anymore.

Roosevelt was still decent, he was always sitting down.

The military parade was followed by a regular luncheon. The bearded man didn't seem to have much expectations for the meeting. This was also in line with European habits. It's about combining work and rest. People who don't know how to rest won't work -

Who said this?

unimportant.

The key is to balance work with rest.

The Russian luncheon was also lackluster to Rock. There were not many varieties of dishes, but the portions were sufficient, but how much could a group of elderly people eat?

"——We have the most powerful armored force. The number of tanks can be lined up from St. Petersburg all the way to Berlin. If necessary, I can arrange a tank in front of every German house. The whole world will be under our armor

Tremble in front of the troops!" Big Beard seizes every opportunity to show off his muscles, and the last sentence fully proves Big Beard's ambition.

"A strong Russia is the cornerstone of world stability." Roosevelt had a high level of speaking to people, and his rainbow farts made the bearded man smile.

Rock and Winston disagreed. Rock didn't want to repeat it, but Winston had mixed feelings.

Let’s not talk about whether southern Africa and the United States will tremble. Winston’s expression has not relaxed since the middle of the military parade.

This is exactly what Big Beard wants.

"Next we will invade Germany. This time we will make the Germans really pay the price. The mistakes of the Paris Peace Conference will not happen again. We will make the Germans truly taste the bitter consequences of launching a war." The bearded man said quickly,

Fortunately, De Gaulle was not present, otherwise De Gaulle would have argued with the bearded man.

Although the Paris Peace Conference took place in France, it was decided jointly by Britain and France. If the Great Yin Empire had not secretly supported Germany, France would have really wanted to cut Germany off.

The French have always wanted to completely eliminate the German threat.

Britain's continental equilibrium policy determines Britain's position.

Rock and Roosevelt both laughed and said nothing.

During the Paris Peace Conference, Southern Africa and the United States did not have a say.

"When will we end the war in the Far East?" Winston changed the topic, not wanting to see the bearded man continue to rant.

"Fight until the Japanese completely admit defeat." Rock has absolute say in the Far East.

Only in the Far East can the spirit of the Casablanca Conference be truly implemented.

The war in the Far East can only end if Japan unconditionally surrenders.

Japan is still trying to contact its allies through different channels and trying to negotiate peace under conditions.

How is this possible? Even if Roosevelt agreed, Rock would not agree.

There is no doubt that if southern Africa had not insisted, the United States would have been able to unilaterally negotiate peace with Japan.

"Locke, you have an obligation to ensure peace in East Asia, and we must work hard to restore order in East Asia." Winston still has his heart in mind about the Straits Settlements, forget about Northeast Asia.

Winston has now accepted the fact that Britain's influence in Northeast Asia is getting smaller and smaller, and even the Malay Peninsula can be given up. The Straits Settlements are Winston's last bottom line.

"This is the obligation of all of us." Roark was noncommittal. No matter how good his personal relationship with Winston was, Roark would not give in on the Straits Settlements issue.

The Strait of Malacca is too important, and Winston wants to continue to maintain control over the Strait of Malacca similar to that of the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar.

How is this possible? As Southern Africa gains more and more interests in East Asia, the Strait of Malacca must also be directly controlled by Southern Africa.

"Black Sea! Russia needs a stable outlet to the Black Sea. It's very necessary!" The bearded man boasted for a long time and finally started to make conditions.

"I can guarantee that the existing Black Sea outlet is very stable for Russia." Roque had to speak. Everyone present knew the relationship between southern Africa and the Ottoman Republic.

"Agree!" Winston's bottom line is that Russia does not directly control the Black Sea outlet, as the channel can be closed at any time.

"Second -" Roosevelt looked at the bearded man, then at Rock and Winston, with a playful expression.

In the Mediterranean, the United States has the lowest influence. Southern Africa also has the enclave of Cyprus in the Mediterranean.

Roosevelt also wanted to increase the United States' influence in the Mediterranean, but with the tacit understanding of southern Africa and the United Kingdom, France, Italy and other countries surrounding the Mediterranean, the United States could not get in.

The water in the Mediterranean Sea is already mixed enough. If the United States continues to stir it up, the Mediterranean Sea will no longer be suitable for human habitation.

"Just a guarantee is not enough, Russia must directly control the Black Sea outlet!" The bearded man was smiling just now, but now his fierce look is immediately revealed. This man is a dog, and he will fall out at any time.

Before Roark could say anything, Winston laughed softly, and the bearded face turned even more ugly.

Laughing out loud at this time is definitely a direct provocation to the bearded man.

Rock didn't believe Winston didn't realize it.

This was a response to Roque's lack of positive commitment to return the Straits Settlements to Britain just now.

Southern Africa now had the power to reject Britain.

Now that it was Russia, would Rock still dare to refuse directly?

"This issue is actually not suitable for discussion here. At least we should be qualified to discuss this issue in the presence of the Ottomans." Roque did not engage in behind-the-scenes operations, which was the bane of the two world wars.

Roque's attitude is very clear. If you want an outlet to the Black Sea, you can ask the Ottomans for it. Roque has no decision-making power.

"The Ottomans are not qualified to participate in a conversation of our level." The bearded man was arrogant. He was not very good at history and had completely forgotten the disastrous defeat of the Russo-Turkish War.

Russia fought 12 Russian-Turkish wars with the Ottomans for access to the Black Sea, lasting 241 years.

The worst thing was the ninth time, when the Ottoman Empire joined forces with Britain and France to defeat Russia.

Make key points and unite with Britain and France.

"Joseph, the biggest lesson the two world wars have taught us is that we should solve problems in a more equitable way. The world has entered a new era." Rock's words were an exhortation to the bearded man, and also a reminder to Winston.

"Russia's acquisition of the entrance to the Black Sea is the greatest fairness to Russia!" The bearded man was unmoved. Didn't the Angsa people keep saying that the big fist is the truth? Now that Russia's fist is strong enough, it is time to fight for a broader existence for Russia.
