Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
Chapter 2511 Five Kilometers
Angel is actually not busy at all, he just doesn’t want to waste time on the British.
The British's return to the Pacific has nothing to do with Angel, who serves as the commander of the theater. After all, after the war is over, even the theater will be gone.
MacArthur was interested. He was a standard American. He wanted to get involved in everything. Even if he couldn't get any profit, it was still good to gossip.
"So, aren't you going to meet that British man?" MacArthur hoped that the Lion City would be as chaotic as possible, just like the Philippines now.
The Philippines is a hodgepodge right now.
After retaking the Philippines, MacArthur carried out months-long retaliatory actions. About 300,000 Filipinos who cooperated with the Japanese during the Japanese occupation, as well as their families, were executed or dealt with in commercial ways.
It's okay to be executed. After all, once you die, a hundred people will die, and the debt will be wiped out.
Dealing with it in a commercial way is to extract surplus value to the greatest extent. Men are sold to plantations as workers, and women are sent to work in various clubs, becoming a tool for American soldiers to vent during the battle.
Don't listen to the nice words of the U.S. government. Some of the U.S. actions during the war were more disgusting than those of the Japanese government.
The Japanese government's methods are cruel and leave all kinds of evidence to the victims. At least the victims will have grounds for compensation in the future.
The U.S. government's method is even more covert. If the female police officers in the U.S. military club make claims against the U.S. government after the war, there will be no evidence at all.
It's something you and I agree on, money and goods are fully settled, and there's even an employment contract.
But Filipinos are very happy with it.
I don’t know whether I should say Americans are cunning or Filipinos are too weak.
Now the Philippines has nominally returned to the embrace of the United States and has become a part of the United States.
Some people in Washington don't think so. They even want to take this opportunity to get rid of the heavy burden of the Philippines and escape from this quagmire.
I am afraid of being more truthful in everything.
Before the war broke out, the United States had to bear a heavy financial burden every year in order to maintain its colonial rule in the Philippines, but received very little from the Philippines.
After the war broke out, the U.S. military suffered heavy losses in the Philippines. Among the 80,000 prisoners of war in the Bataan Death March, not even one out of ten remained after the war. The U.S. military paid billions of dollars to drive away the Japanese. Looking back, if we want to rebuild the Philippines,
We have to continue to invest billions of dollars, and then we have to pay about 60 million US dollars every year to maintain colonial rule in the Philippines.
With these tens of billions and the 60 million per year, what can be done with them? Why waste them in the Philippines just for the sake of being a sovereign state?
Look at how Britain treats southern Africa.
When Britain gave up on southern Africa, southern Africa at least had potential compared to the Philippines.
What is happening in the Philippines now?
There are only tens of millions of mouths waiting for food.
Of course, it would be unseemly for the United States to leave the Philippines like this.
Therefore, with the support of Washington, the Philippines established political parties and formed a provisional government to return freedom to the Philippines in the name of democracy.
Then Washington discovered that this was a stroke of genius, and everything suddenly became clear.
The Philippines has established an independent country, so it naturally does not need financial support from the United States.
However, the entire national economy of the Philippines is controlled by American companies. How much tax the Philippine government can receive is entirely decided by American companies. Compared with before, this is simply a loser. The Philippines has once again become an adventure for American entrepreneurs.
paradise.
The difference from before is that this time not only American merchants, but also Southern African merchants, East Indian merchants, and even Lion City merchants also flocked here.
So the current Philippines is full of demons and is completely different from the Philippines that MacArthur was familiar with.
Although MacArthur's headquarters is in Manila, he himself has stayed in the Lion City for seven consecutive months.
"Why are you meeting him? It's just the bad debts from back then. If it's General Cunningham, maybe you can meet him, but forget about the others." An Qi treats all British generals equally except Cunningham.
.
For Cunningham, it was also because Cunningham maintained a good relationship with the Cyprus Squadron when he served as commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet.
No one else, such as Alexander, Mountbatten, and Angel, could take a liking to him.
As for Major General Howard——
Sorry, I'm just a major general, but I really don't have the qualifications to make an appointment with An Qi at any time.
MacArthur whistled to express his appreciation for Angel.
After dealing with Angel for such a long time, MacArthur's attitude towards Angel went from arrogant to disapproving, and now he is calm. MacArthur has been able to treat Angel with a normal attitude and treat her as an equal.
This was very valuable to MacArthur. After all, when Angel was still serving as adjutant beside Rock, MacArthur was already the principal of West Point.
Angel's attitude towards the Japanese and the British was particularly appreciated by MacArthur.
"When will your troops be in place? If they can't be in place before the end of the year, then I won't wait for you -" An Qi's attitude towards MacArthur is also changing. This guy's character is a bit bad, but when he treats the Japanese
On this point, Angel and MacArthur have a lot in common.
There is nothing to say about this. Blood debts can only be repaid with blood. Whoever dares to tell MacArthur and An Qi to be generous, An Qi will dare to let him taste Tokyo barbecue.
MacArthur looked embarrassed and was repeatedly pushed back by Angel, but he could only say one sentence: "Don't worry, southern Africa is not the United States, and our situation is different."
Angel gained Roque's trust and got whatever he asked for. His Fourth Army plus the servant armies from East India, Australia, and Malaya had a total strength of more than 2 million. Together with the navy and air force, it was extremely powerful.
MacArthur's relationship with the U.S. Department of War was not very good, and he received limited support from the United States. After regaining the Philippines, MacArthur originally planned to form a Filipino servant army to make up for the lack of U.S. troops. Unfortunately, the Filipinos were busy with the general election.
There is not much support for the work.
The attitude of the Filipinos is very clear. The Japanese have been driven away, so why do they still chase the Japanese mainland to fight the Japanese?
This attitude will never become a climate change.
The current policy of the United States is still to put Europe first before Asia. The United States will not transfer its main forces from Europe to East Asia until it completely defeats Germany.
Therefore, the tens of millions of American troops only exist on paper, unlike the Russians.
Russia really has tens of millions of troops, and they are all fighting on the front line.
Tens of millions of U.S. troops are always in training camps, and the U.S. troops in Europe and Asia combined total less than 2.5 million.
All front-line troops in southern Africa combined have a total strength of more than 4 million.
In the middle of last year, Angel and MacArthur began planning to attack Japan.
The plan was announced at the beginning of this year, and Anqi began to make intensive preparations.
MacArthur was also prepared, but he was only prepared verbally. Without the U.S. troops in place, MacArthur was like a staff officer without a leader, so nothing happened.
However, MacArthur did not want to miss the landing in Japan, so at MacArthur's strong request, the Olympic plan could not be implemented until at least next year.
"You Americans run the country like a business. How can this be possible?" Angel is now extremely skilled at complaining about the United States.
"You are not much better. We run the country like a business, and you are cooking." To describe it by American standards, MacArthur is definitely a master of southern Africa.
An Qi was stunned for a moment, then realized that what MacArthur wanted to say was: Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
This is really not about cooking.
"We cook in at least one pot, can you do business as a win-win situation?" Angie said sharply, while MacArthur was at a loss for words.
It's not that Americans can't win-win, it's that they simply don't have this awareness.
Major General Howard was not a person who gave up easily. After being rejected by Angel, Major General Howard took the initiative to come to Angel's headquarters every day for three consecutive days to wait for Angel. He waited from nine in the morning until five in the evening to compare with Commander.
The staff in the department are all on time.
"This guy is very determined and will never give up until he achieves his goal." An Qi's new adjutant, Han Ya, still admires Major General Howard.
After all, he has reached the level of major general, so he should have some respect and not stalk him.
Perhaps it was because of this that the Royal Navy asked Howard to make preliminary preparations.
"I'm going to Darwin tomorrow. If that guy is still here when I come back, I will give him a chance." Angel was actually surprised.
This time I went to Darwin to attend the unveiling ceremony of the Darwin Military Port.
It is extremely difficult for the Royal Navy to find a suitable military port in East Asia, but it is too easy for the Navy in Southern Africa. No matter where you like it, just say hello, and all countries are very cooperative.
In the Indian Ocean alone, the Southern African Navy currently has 9 official military ports, including 7 around the Indian Ocean. No matter where there is a need in any corner of the Indian Ocean, the Southern African Navy can arrive within 48 hours.
This 48 hours includes preparation time. After all, the navy needs a lot of preparation work to dispatch. Not to mention large warships, small and medium-sized warships such as destroyers and light cruisers. The fuel cost alone for a trip to sea will be more than hundreds of thousands of rand, so the navy is
What a waste of money.
In order to better meet its needs, the Southern African Navy leased the Port of Darwin from Australia at a rent of R10,000 per year. The Southern African Navy is responsible for the construction of the port. After the lease contract expires, the port will be owned by the Australian government.
Affected by the war, the construction speed of Darwin Port was not fast. It has taken three years to finally complete it. If this speed were achieved in the UK, Cunningham would have to go to Parliament to report the good news anyway.
It is common in southern Africa. It took just over two years to build Saint-Roch from scratch in southern Africa.
The Australian government still attaches great importance to the Port of Darwin. Prime Minister John Curtin, who was born in the Labor Party, and Foreign Minister Herbert Evatt, as well as a number of senior officials from the Australian government, were all present. In southern Africa, except Angel, the only one who specially came from Preto
Gavin, who came over from Leah, was present, and according to the usual practice, it was not considered indifferent.
It's just a military port, and Roark will definitely not fly here specifically for this. Australia has now completely abandoned the United Kingdom and joined the Southern African camp. After the world war is over, Australia will apply to withdraw from the Commonwealth and then join the Southern African Union.
Although Southern Africa is not a hereditary system, Gavin is also recognized as the most qualified candidate to succeed Roque, so Gavin's presence is also a surprise for John Curtin and Yiwat. They had already prepared only
Mental preparation for Angel’s arrival.
"How is Lord Nyasaland's health?" John Curtin asked politely. He had just been elected as the Prime Minister of Australia, and the first leg of his trip was to Southern Africa.
John Curtin was elected Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Australia in 41. At that time, the world war had broken out. Britain was very dissatisfied with Australia's response, and John Curtin was under great pressure.
During World War I, Australia, with a total population of only 5.5 million, sent the Anzac Corps with a total strength of 500,000, making great contributions to the British Empire.
In this world war, Australia's support for the British Empire was far less than that of the previous one. Not only did it not send troops to the British mainland to assist in the defense, but it also sent only one army to the Mediterranean.
This made Winston very angry.
As soon as John Curtin took office, Winston proposed to John Curtin that he hoped Australia could send at least 700,000 expeditionary troops to Europe.
Last time 5.5 million people paid 500,000.
Now that Australia's population has exceeded 10 million, it seems reasonable to send 700,000 people.
John Curtin thought it was unreasonable, so the first leg of his trip was to southern Africa to seek help.
Rock supports the Australian government's approach, because now more than half of Australia's population is of Chinese descent. If an expeditionary force of 700,000 people is really to be formed, it will definitely be made up of Chinese Americans.
One thing to note is that before John Curtin, the previous Australian Prime Minister Robert Gordon completely collapsed because of his full support for the British Empire.
Even for his own presidential term, John Curtin will not go all out.
"The Lord is in good health. He also participated in the opening ceremony of the Pretoria Marathon last month and ran a five-kilometer-" Gavin is still moderate. This is the main reason why he has received widespread support. Southern Africa is now
You don't need a drastic leader, you need stability.
As long as Southern Africa does not make mistakes, other countries will not be qualified to compete with Southern Africa.
The Pretoria Marathon has a history of 20 years, and Rock will participate every year as long as he is in Pretoria.
Influenced by Rock, Southern Africans are very enthusiastic about participating in sports, which has kept the health level of Southern Africans at a relatively high level.
After the outbreak of the world war, the average life expectancy of all countries was affected to a certain extent, with only southern Africa maintaining expectations.
You must know that even during the truce, thousands of Allied troops were killed every day. It is normal for more than ten or two hundred thousand people to die in a war. Therefore, it is commendable that the average life expectancy of southern Africans has remained unchanged.
A man in his sixties can still run five kilometers, which means he is in pretty good shape.
"Thank God, a healthy Lord Nyasaland is what we all hope for." John Curtin was quite reserved, but Yi Watt had no bottom line when he touted.
