Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The successful offensive of the Bulgarian 1st Division attracted the attention of General Frisner, who transferred an SS infantry division originally assigned to Pest to Buda to strengthen defense.

This was not what Arthur wanted, so Arthur ordered Chen Cang to suspend the attack.

Just suspending the attack is not enough. If possible, Arthur even wants to transfer all the troops back and no longer cooperate with the Russian army in any form.

Arthur's distrust of the Russian army stems from Russia's indifferent treatment of the Warsaw Uprising.

After Germany and Russia carved up Poland, Poland established a government-in-exile in London and organized an exile army to join the Allied Forces. Although this army was small in size, it performed well during the battles in Greece, North Africa, and France and made many military exploits.

.

Following the spirit of the Casablanca Conference, Poland will regain all its territory after the war and regain its independent status.

So the problem arises.

Even though Poland is a member of the Allies, Russia does not want to return the occupied Polish territory to the Poles. During the Tehran Conference and the St. Petersburg Conference, Allied leaders discussed the Polish issue many times, but unfortunately no agreement was reached.

Although the Polish government-in-exile is in London, it has not given up on the country. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Mikolajczyk of the government-in-exile and Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Internal Army Bol, Poland has formed a "Hometown Army" with a total number of 400,000 people.

After Mustache was assassinated in the summer, Mikolajczyk made a misjudgment and believed that Germany was at the end of its rope. In order to prevent more territory from being occupied by Russia, Mikolajczyk ordered Bor to launch an uprising, at least to liberate Warsaw before the Russian army.

In this way, the Polish government in exile can resume the exercise of power after the war and compete with the Polish National Liberation Council established with Russian support.

The Polish National Liberation Committee was established at the end of July this year with the support of Beard. After the committee was established, it signed an agreement with Russia and decided to use the "Curzon Line" drawn by the Allied Powers in 1919 to determine Poland's eastern border.

The "Curzon Line" is another debt left over from history.

After the end of World War I, the Allies decided to rebuild Poland. Initially, the ethnic border line was used as the eastern border of Poland. This line divided the Polish-Russian border along the Bug River and added the Bialystok region to the Polish territory in the north.

.

On July 11, 1920, when the new Russian regime repulsed the Polish interventionist forces, Curzon, on behalf of the British government, suggested that Russia use this line as a ceasefire line to hold peace negotiations. At the international conference held in Spa, Poland and Russia recognized

Bounded by the Curzon Line.

It stands to reason that once an agreement is reached, this matter will come to an end.

But later, when the Polish army turned to counterattack, the Polish government refused to recognize the Curzon Line, which was also one of the foundations for Russia and Germany to carve up Poland.

Since the Polish government does not recognize the Curzon Line, there is no reason for Russia to accept the constraints of the Curzon Line.

Now that the Poles have once again recognized the Curzon Line, I have to say that the Poles' thinking is indeed quite flexible.

On August 1, the Polish "Hometown Army" launched an uprising under the leadership of Bol and once controlled most of Warsaw's urban areas.

The German army was not as fragile as Mikolajczyk imagined. Before the uprising, Mikolajczyk believed that it would only take two to three days to completely control Warsaw, and then launched an uprising across Poland in order to regain all the land.

the goal of.

The Polish "Hometown Army" was not as powerful as Mikolajczyk thought. The total strength of the "Hometown Army" that participated in the Warsaw Uprising was less than 50,000, and they were severely lacking in weapons and training. Their ammunition was only enough to last seven to seven days.

Ten days.

In order to provide sufficient support to the "Hometown Army", Britain is preparing to airdrop to Warsaw. However, the British mainland airport is too far from Warsaw, and there is Germany in the middle. The risk is too high, so Winston hopes that the bearded man can open some Russian

Controlled airfield for use by the British Air Force.

Russia controls multiple airports around Warsaw, the closest one only 20 minutes away.

This request, which Winston thought was very reasonable, was decisively rejected by Big Beard.

Big Beard not only refused to provide an airport, but also ordered the Russian army that had already reached the east bank of the Vistula River to stop attacking on the grounds that the army needed to rest and recuperate after having been fighting for many months.

Crossing the Vistula River is Warsaw.

There is only a river separating them, but it has become an insurmountable chasm for the Russian army.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force was slow in crossing the Danube River, which meant there were indeed many difficulties.

The Russian army simply did not want to provide any support to the Warsaw Rebels. In order to liberate Warsaw faster, the Warsaw Rebels deliberately left an evacuation channel for the German troops, and even key transportation arteries such as bridges were not destroyed.

There are no bridges on the Danube River in southern Africa, so tugboats are the only option.

The Russian army has bridges, but I don't use them because I'm tired and need to rest.

The Germans responded very quickly. Lieutenant General Rainer Stagel, the commander of the Warsaw Garrison District, immediately asked for help from Germany. At this time, due to the unfavorable war situation, most of the German troops stationed in Warsaw were transferred to the front line. Warsaw

The German army only had one regiment of the SS and a Russian regiment under German control.

After receiving the telegram requesting assistance, Krebs, the chief of staff of the German Army Group Center, ordered the 9th Army Commander Foreman to send three SS armed divisions, including the Hermann Göring Division, to Warsaw for support. Warsaw

The pressure on the rebels is unprecedented.

Starting from August 1st, Winston repeatedly requested Big Beard to open the airport, but Big Beard refused.

Mikolajchik even went to Russia to meet with Big Beard in person, but still failed to get Big Beard's consent.

By the end of August, the Warsaw rebels were still fighting, but the way of fighting had been transferred from ground buildings to sewers. The Germans and the rebels were fighting to the death in waist-deep sewage. Mustache began to get tired of Warsaw and ordered the Germans to completely

Warsaw smoothed.

After receiving the order, the German army carried out organized robbery and destruction of Warsaw. Any valuable property such as gold and jewelry was taken away, and everything that could not be transported was burned or blown up. More than 80% of the buildings in Warsaw were

Things were razed to the ground.

In order to prevent the rebels from inciting civilians, the German army ordered Warsaw residents to leave Warsaw and go to Germany. Civilians who were unwilling to leave were shot dead, and the bodies of women and children could be seen everywhere on the streets.

By the end of September, the Warsaw Uprising Army was at the end of its rope. They had no ammunition, no medicine, and even food began to run short.

The Russians still stood still and did not provide any form of support to Warsaw. Mikolajczyk began to despair of the British.

A large part of Mikolajczyk's misjudgment of Germany was that the intelligence provided by the British to Mikolajczyk was too one-sided. In addition, the British promised to do their best to provide support to the Warsaw Uprising Army. Therefore,

Mikolajczyk decided to launch an uprising in August.

The British failed to fulfill their promises and put all the responsibility on Russia.

The airborne troops promised by the United States also did not appear. The 50,000 Warsaw rebels alone faced the crazy encirclement and suppression of nearly 100,000 German troops. The losses were extremely heavy. More than 18,000 rebels died, and the number of civilian deaths in Warsaw reached 200,000.

In mid-October, the rebel commander Komorowski sent a telegram to Mikolajczyk, saying that if he could not wait for help, the rebel army would surrender to the German army.

Mikolajchik called back to Komorowski, hoping that Komorowski could command the rebels to break out from the direction of the Vivas River, with the Russian army on the other side of the river.

Komorovsky refused to break out from the direction of the Vivas River, preferring to surrender to the Germans rather than pray to the Russians for protection.

In fact, Komorowski had lost control of the rebels at this time. The rebels in the city were complex and were divided into three parts by the Germans. The Germans used heavy weapons to encircle and suppress the rebels. The mood of the rebels was very bad because of lack of food.

Supplies and weapons, and command are also poor.

Many rebels have never served as soldiers before, and the commanders wear various insignias. The rebel members are mainly young people under the age of 25. Elderly people with rich life experience are almost impossible to find, and most of the intellectuals have fled.

, German intelligence intercepted by the Allied forces showed that an infectious disease had recently broken out within the rebel army, causing heavy losses in personnel.

The Allies actually had to rely on German intelligence to get the news about Warsaw, which shows how bad the situation had become.

Even so, Komorowski did not give up. He was still waiting for the Russian army to attack. At the same time, the troops sent by the Polish government-in-exile were also approaching Warsaw. Unfortunately, they were all unable to quench their thirst. The Russians

As if they were incapacitated and stood still, the Polish army was unable to attack due to lack of support and was unable to break through the German defense lines.

Almost at the same time that the Allied forces on the Eastern Front launched their second attack on Budapest, the Polish rebel army surrendered to the Germans, and the uprising that lasted for three months ended in the most tragic situation.

Arthur could not accept the indifference of the Russian army during the Warsaw Uprising.

It is also unacceptable that Britain incited the residents of Warsaw to revolt in order to curb Russia's expansion and then did nothing.

If Britain is really willing to support Warsaw, there are many ways.

After the Battle of Britain, Britain basically controlled the air superiority over the English Channel.

If the uprising in Warsaw were British troops, then Winston would be able to provide air supplies to Warsaw even if he sent an aircraft carrier there.

The Warsaw people were obviously not worth the risk of Winston sending an aircraft carrier, so after being abandoned by Russia, they were abandoned by Britain again.

If Russians are indifferent.

Then the behavior of the British government can only be described as callous.

"So, our allies are just such a bunch of people. They can just watch their allies die for their own interests. They are indifferent and insensitive -" Arthur felt inexplicably sad after knowing the results of the Warsaw Uprising.

"That's why we have to strengthen ourselves. No matter what, we can't let the tragedy of Warsaw happen in southern Africa." John Cecil Rhodes, who happened to be passing by Cyprus and was a guest at Arthur's house, sighed. He was a young boy.

The eldest son of Si and the future head of the Rhodes family.

Before the outbreak of the world war, John followed Stoudemire's instructions and had been working in Rhodesia to protect the Rhodes family's largest source of wealth.

After the outbreak of the World War, John served as chairman of the Material Management Committee and was responsible for aid to Europe.

At present, the reconstruction work in Europe has begun, and the Materials Management Committee is deeply involved in the reconstruction work in Europe. John has been traveling between France and Italy for more than half a year, which is very hard.

It was precisely because he witnessed the current situation of France and Italy with his own eyes that John had a deeper understanding of the power of southern Africa.

"Warsaw is finished. It has lost its meaning to Britain and Russia. We have lost an important strategic buffer. In the future, Germany will become the frontline against Russia." Mike Tolan has been under a lot of pressure recently. Just one week ago

Previously, Britain transferred most of its main battleships from the Home Fleet to the Pacific region to rebuild the Pacific Fleet, including two of Britain's most cutting-edge battleships, "Howe" and "King George V".

Interestingly, the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet is not in the Pacific, but in the Lion City. For this reason, a new round of controversy over the Changi Naval Base broke out in the Royal Navy.

The British Royal Navy spent 500 million pounds to build the Changi Naval Base, and finally sold it to the Southern African Navy for 10 million rand, giving the Southern African Navy a big bargain.

Now that the overall situation in Europe has been decided, the British government cannot wait to return to the Far East.

At this time, the British government discovered that the Far East battlefield had been completely dominated by southern Africa and the United States. Britain did not even have a suitable entry point. Although the Pacific Fleet was large in size, it did not have a home port that could accommodate all Pacific Fleet warships.

After the Southern African Navy took over Changi Naval Base, Changi Naval Base expanded several times and has now become the most excellent military port in the entire East Asia. This makes the Royal Navy feel sad every time it mentions Changi Naval Base.

While the British government was establishing the Pacific Fleet, it was also working hard to enhance the strength of the Mediterranean Fleet.

After the outbreak of the World War, the British government stopped building new battleships. It was not until April this year that the British Navy proposed a new shipbuilding plan, which included four battleships and 16 aircraft carriers.

Regardless of the factors of soaring prices in recent years, even measured by the prices before the outbreak of the world war, the cost of building four battleships and 16 aircraft carriers far exceeds 10 billion pounds, which is absolutely unaffordable for the British government.

The reason why the Royal Navy proposed such an unrealistic shipbuilding plan has a lot to do with the crazy expansion of the United States' naval strength.

Before the outbreak of the World War, the United States had only eight aircraft carriers, including two rebuilt "Yorks".

After the outbreak of the World War, the United States began to frantically build escort aircraft carriers. At its fastest, one escort carrier was launched a week.

This has put tremendous pressure on the Royal Navy. In just four years, the number of aircraft carriers in the United States has increased to more than 100, so the Royal Navy was forced to propose this exaggerated shipbuilding plan to cope with the pressure brought by the U.S. Navy.
