Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Chapter 2493 Rushing to ask for intervention

The night before Roark left London, Winston came to Roark to once again emphasize the Russian threat.

Compared with when he was in St. Petersburg, Winston's attitude was now more radical. He proposed to provoke a war with Russia immediately after defeating Germany.

Rock was surprised. He didn't expect that after witnessing the military parade in St. Petersburg, Winston would still have the courage to fight Russia.

Winston's fear also comes from that military parade.

"When hundreds of tanks drove over together, I really felt the fear brought by Russia - every day in St. Petersburg, I spent it in panic, couldn't sleep at night, and several times I dreamed about

The Russians crossed the English Channel." Winston came to Roark to complain. His plan would definitely not find supporters in the UK.

But that doesn't mean Winston can't do it.

If Winston wanted to, he could tie the British Empire into a chariot, even including southern Africa.

Southern Africa has an agreement with the United Kingdom. Once the United Kingdom is at war, Southern Africa will declare war on the other party, and vice versa.

Winston doesn't have a chance now, but in the future when the British and Russian troops join forces, in case of a misfire——

Things are impermanent.

"We still have a chance now, before the Russians have mastered the atomic bomb." Winston has been driven crazy by the Russians.

"Winston, you have been under too much pressure in recent years and need to take a good rest." Rock didn't want to fight a nuclear war with the Russians, and he probably wouldn't win.

Russia is too large. Any army that goes deep into Russia must take into account the Russian winter and long supply lines.

Think about when the Russo-German War first broke out, the Russians were almost cornered by the Germans. At that time, no one except Roker believed that Russia could persist.

Therefore, Russia that persevered was reborn from nirvana.

If Russia in the past was evil.

So now Russia is powerful and evil.

Winston's proposal sounds like it has a high chance of winning, but in fact it may not. The production speed of atomic bombs is very slow, Russia is too large, and the Allies are full of internal conflicts. Maybe after two years of fighting, Russia suddenly has

The atomic bomb.

This certainly has nothing to do with the United States.

So Rock refused simply.

"Locke, if we don't act decisively now, there will be endless troubles." Winston was very disappointed. His plan required Locke's full cooperation.

Otherwise, even if the British army clashes with the Russians, southern Africa will be fully capable of putting out the fire.

"Winston, give up your hostility to Russia. Your proposal will not get any support. People, including the British, are tired of war." Roque complied with public opinion. Not only the British, but also people in southern Africa were calling for it.

Peace.

Even if there are not 10 million soldiers in southern Africa, there are definitely 8 million. If you include those who served in the war, there will be even more. Regardless of others, the families of these soldiers must hope that the war will end as soon as possible.

"If the threat from Russia is not eliminated, our world will be destroyed by the Russians sooner or later!" Winston was stubborn, but he seemed to be saying the opposite. The Angsa people pose a far greater threat to the world than Russia.

Rock did not quarrel with Winston on this issue and took a plane out of London early the next morning and flew directly to Cyprus.

De Gaulle and Arthur greeted Roque at the airport.

De Gaulle now needed Roque's help. He originally invited Roque to Paris, but Patton strongly opposed it.

Paris is not safe right now.

De Gaulle himself did not want to go to London, so he made a compromise choice to meet in Cyprus.

"Is there any problem in Paris now? Pétain shouldn't be able to pose a threat to you, right?" Roque felt that even if De Gaulle couldn't cover the sky with one hand in France, the situation should not get out of control.

The Free France was founded by De Gaulle. As long as the Free French Army remained loyal to De Gaulle, Roque did not believe that anyone could threaten De Gaulle's status.

The problem lies with the Free French Army.

What do those politicians in Paris say? Let them fight. They are all laymen, but they are all experts in dealing with their own people.

Just look at the average length of time the French prime minister has been in office and you will see how serious the conflict of interests within France is.

The key point is that the French never learn lessons. Even if a person does not perform well in the position of prime minister, he still has the opportunity to serve as prime minister. For example, Aristide Briand has served as the prime minister of France 11 times. The Prime Minister's Office has

To him, it's just like a hotel.

If it were any other country, such as the United Kingdom, it would be difficult to return to No. 10 Downing Street after someone was kicked out of the position of Prime Minister, unless it was a special historical moment like two world wars.

The French were able to give Brian 11 chances to prove himself, which shows how tolerant the French are.

And, what a joke.

Let’s talk about the Free French Army.

Like the famous French army in French history, the Free French Army quickly degenerated after returning to the French mainland, so fast that people were caught off guard.

The vast majority of Free French soldiers were colonial servants, and one of their main purposes in joining the army was to become a true Frenchman.

After de Gaulle returned to Paris, the first order he signed was to give all Free French Army soldiers a true French identity and fulfill his promise.

Then something happened that caught de Gaulle off guard.

After becoming real French, most of the Free French soldiers lost the motivation to fight. They got lost in the glitz and prosperity of Paris, drinking, having fun, gambling, and stealing or even robbing when they had no money. Several Free French soldiers

The generals of the army were bribed by the old oil men in Paris, and even publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with de Gaulle.

Some time ago, Rear Admiral Marjorie of the Navy publicly stated at a dinner hosted by the Ministry of Finance that de Gaulle's handling of the East Asian colonies was not appropriate enough and that the East Asian colonies should be taken back.

De Gaulle was still very decisive. He dismissed Major General Marjorie from his post the next day and transferred Marjorie to North Africa.

Due to de Gaulle's timely handling, this incident did not have much impact.

But this is a very dangerous signal.

If de Gaulle loses the support of the military, he will definitely not be able to defeat France's veteran politicians.

"Didn't you dissolve Congress?" Roque was curious. Under normal circumstances, de Gaulle should have gathered power as soon as he returned to Paris.

"My lord, France is a democratic country -" De Gaulle was speechless.

This is not meant to imply that southern Africa is undemocratic, but that the situation in France is special.

The leaders of Free France are all airborne troops for today's France. Their foundation is not deep enough, and their influence on France is incomparable to that of established politicians.

When in North Africa, De Gaulle could decide the personnel power of Free France with a single word.

When you get to France, you have to rely on public opinion. Old-fashioned politicians can't fight, but they can brag to the sky in order to win votes.

So public opinion in France is now very unfavorable to De Gaulle.

Roque was a little irritated because the biggest threat to de Gaulle was none other than Ada's brother, Leonard Capet.

Leonard Capet was originally very influential in France and was qualified to compete for French Prime Minister before the outbreak of the world war.

Paris was unfamiliar to de Gaulle.

For Leonard Capet, he is like a duck in water.

After Pétain left for Germany, panic-stricken veterans quickly gathered around Leonard Capet, greatly affecting de Gaulle's electoral prospects.

Moreover, Leonard Capet's reputation in Free France is not much lower than that of de Gaulle.

"To what extent have you carried out the liquidation of war criminals?" Roque hates iron, and those old bastards in Paris can all be thrown into prison in the name of liquidation.

If it were Roark, it would be easy for those people to be ruined, let alone change things for the better.

"This work is not going well -" De Gaulle frowned. He now lacks political experience.

You can’t blame anyone else, you deserve it!

Who in the Vichy government should be liquidated most?

Obviously Pétain.

But in order to play a double act with Pétain, de Gaulle actually issued an amnesty order to Pétain. How could other war criminals be liquidated in this way?

While Pétain was being tried in absentia, Vichy French Foreign Minister Laval was also being tried.

Laval was arrested while fleeing France.

In the Vichy government, Laval served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of the Interior and Minister of Intelligence. He was loyal to Mustache and did his best to collect supplies to support the German military operations.

Last year, Laval also enacted the "Voluntary Labor Service Law", driving a large number of French migrant workers to serve in Germany.

With Pétain's lessons learned, Laval denied every possible means during his trial and described his behavior as a roundabout way to save the country. Regarding all the evidence against him, such as the "Voluntary Labor Service Law", Laval insisted that he had obtained

Following Pétain's instructions, all things detrimental to France were ordered by Pétain to Laval.

This is very embarrassing.

Since Pétain has been pardoned, Laval is naturally qualified to seek amnesty.

But in fact, everyone knows that Pétain was dismissed early in Vichy France, and the person who dismissed Pétain was Laval.

Pétain is still in France and cannot appear in court to defend himself.

The court did not pronounce the verdict on the spot, and the judge was probably quite embarrassed.

"Joseph, if you want to build a new France, then you must have the determination to break and build again." Roque couldn't say too much, as this was interfering in France's internal affairs.

De Gaulle fell into silence for a long time, with nature and man at war in his heart.

De Gaulle was not determined to rebuild after breaking, and hoped to complete the reconstruction of France in a relatively relaxed way.

Now the problem is not only with the Free French Army, because after de Gaulle returned to Paris, the lives of the workers who had previously struck in Paris did not improve immediately, so the workers in Paris also began to be dissatisfied with de Gaulle.

This is very bad. The army is not satisfied with De Gaulle, the Congress is not satisfied with De Gaulle, and now even the workers are beginning to be dissatisfied with De Gaulle. No matter how you look at it, it is a dead end.

"If I were you, I would hold an election immediately and leave the fate of France to all French people to decide, so that both those who are satisfied with you and those who are not satisfied will have to accept the results of their own choices." Arthur actively helped out.

The idea, what he meant was to let de Gaulle ruin it.

In terms of their attitude towards de Gaulle, the French also used people to move forward and did not use people to move behind. De Gaulle was about to be abandoned by the French before he truly gained power.

Looking at it this way, these old friends of Rock seem to be quite dangerous.

De Gaulle was in a huge whirlpool.

Winston was trying hard to call for containment of Russia, but no one responded.

Roosevelt, who was originally the most stable candidate, was shaken, which fully demonstrated people's attitude.

Since none of these people can do it, why not try someone else.

"No, I will always put the interests of France first." De Gaulle's attitude remained firm.

"Politics is all about strategy. Stopping and taking a break is to move forward more powerfully." Arthur inadvertently dug a hole for de Gaulle and France.

This sounds reasonable.

In fact, it is completely unfeasible. Once France misses this opportunity, it will return to its previous path. Even if the French learn from the pain and elect de Gaulle back, de Gaulle will not be able to face the counterattack of the entire ruling class.

De Gaulle was so distraught that he needed time to sort out what Roque and Arthur had said.

Rock's words are easy to understand.

You have to think carefully about what Arthur said.

De Gaulle knew that Leonard Capet was Arthur's uncle.

After seeing off de Gaulle, Roque and Arthur should talk about business first.

"We must pay attention to the threat from Russia. Russia will not give up its access to the Black Sea, and we must work hard to limit Russia's influence outside the Mediterranean." Roque cannot always be in Cyprus, and Arthur is still responsible for this job.

"As long as I am here, the Russians will never break out of the Black Sea." Arthur has a correct attitude towards Rock. He is too impatient to dare to dig a hole for Rock.

"We must also strengthen control over the Persian Gulf. If there is a chance, we must weaken Britain's influence on the Suez Canal. Don't worry about Italy and France. They will never recover from this." Roque has high hopes for Arthur, so many tasks have been thrown away.

, Arthur will not even think about leaving Cyprus in the next twenty years.

"We can secretly support the Egyptians. The Egyptians must be very interested in taking back the canal." When Arthur was serious, his mind was still very reliable.

"It's best to bring the French and Italians together to do this kind of thing." Roque had just asserted that France and Italy were in ruins, but now he looked down on them again.

These are the two brothers.

Arthur and de Gaulle are not even plastic friends.

Between de Gaulle and Leonard Capet, Arthur definitely preferred Leonard.

Before de Gaulle left Cyprus, Leonard Capet hurriedly flew over. They all wanted to get Roque's support.

"Joseph is an upright man, and no one can doubt Joseph's love for France -" Leonard gave de Gaulle a very high evaluation, but the higher the evaluation, the greater the next turn: "-Joseph's biggest problem is

Inexperienced, he lacks the experience to lead a large country, especially one as complex as France."

Lack of experience is a problem, but it can be made up for through learning.
