Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Chapter 2544: Ginger is still spicier when old

Don’t look at the fact that the Russian army now has an absolute numerical advantage on the battlefield. In fact, when the war broke out, the Russian side only had more than 2.4 million people. This number was based on the combined navy, land and air forces, while the German side had more than 4 million soldiers.

One million people, almost 3.3 million German troops plus 700,000 servants.

The horror of Russia lies in its potential for war. In the first three months of the war, all the millions of Russian troops deployed near the border were wiped out. The German army marched straight in. From anyone's perspective, it was a draw, and Russia had no chance of a comeback.

Then came the defense of Moscow. At this time, after general mobilization, the bearded man recruited nearly 6 million people in one breath.

In the subsequent series of battles, although Russia's losses were greater, always about double the losses of the German army, Russia gradually pushed back with its continuous reserve army, and the German army's war potential was gradually exhausted.

The servant army cannot make up for the disadvantages on the battlefield.

At present, only on the Eastern Front, the ratio of German and Russian troops has reached about one to three, so Malinovsky is confident that he does not need the ground troops of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

This is also what worries Arthur the most.

The Allied forces on the Eastern Front, including the Ukrainian 2nd and 3rd Army on the Russian side, have a total strength of more than 1.3 million. This number is still growing. No one knows to what extent these two fronts can expand in the future.

The Fifth Army of Southern Africa has a total strength of only 600,000 people. After excluding the servant army, the real Southern African army only has 400,000 people. Therefore, the fundamental purpose of Arthur's trip to Pretoria is to ask for help. With the current

The strength of the Fifth Army means that if a conflict breaks out with Russia, the Fifth Army will not be able to withstand it.

With equal strength, Arthur is absolutely confident that he can defeat the Russians.

But the current situation is unequal. Russia's war potential is unfathomable, but it is impossible for southern Africa to devote all its resources to Arthur. For southern Africa, the importance of the Balkans is far less than that of Western Europe, let alone East Asia.

Compare.

"Our bottom line is France, Italy, Greece, and the peninsula of Asia Minor. As long as Russia's influence does not break through this line, we can accept it." Rock explained to Arthur that his toughness in Tehran and St. Petersburg was all over.

It's just a smoke bomb.

There is no need to intensify conflicts with Russia over territory in Southern Africa. Russia's influence will not expand to the core interest areas of Southern Africa if it expands again. If the two camps reappear, places like Hungary and Austria will definitely become two camps.

buffer zone.

Arthur remained silent, and Rock's words once again emphasized Arthur's mission.

Arthur's most important task is to be optimistic about the oil fields along the Persian Gulf. All investments by the southern African federal government are serving this goal.

Although there are oil fields in the Balkans, Romania's oil production is incomparable to that of the Persian Gulf. If the future international oil market is taken into account, there is still a lot of room for cooperation between Southern Africa and Russia.

So fight, fight against a der.

Working together to make money and create a better tomorrow is the way to go.

Now that the business is done, it’s family time.

It was a rare trip back to Pretoria for Arthur. He had to visit his father-in-law. His biological mother had to go anywhere. Forget about the harem in the Palace of Justice. No matter how open-minded Arthur was, he would still be embarrassed when facing Phyllis.

.

When I arrived, I took Gavin's car. When I left the Palace of Justice, the car sent by Xiaosi was waiting. My father-in-law was really anxious to see his son-in-law.

Really urgent.

Different from Rock's hard-and-soft approach, Stoudemire has a very tough attitude towards the Russians and encourages Arthur to fight the Russians to the end. He has the support of his father-in-law in everything and must not be intimidated by the Russians.

"The Russians are also fierce and cruel. They have overexploited the country's potential for the war. Don't look at the fact that the Russians now have tens of thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of aircraft. When the war is over, the Russians will know how much it will cost to maintain such a huge army-"

Stoudemire has been thinking like a businessman all his life and cannot change it.

"Russia has never been as powerful as it is now. It's understandable." Arthur was calm and not bewitched by his father-in-law.

Big Beard's current mentality is somewhat like a poor man suddenly getting rich. He has been a salted fish for so many years and finally turned around and became a master.

This is just like the first thing a poor person does when he wins five million in a lottery ticket is to go to a luxury store to buy something. He can't wait to move the store home.

Luxury goods are meant to trick the poor. A truly rich person will not buy a bag and post it on WeChat. The Queen doesn’t even wear new shoes. They have a dedicated shoe wearer. Whenever the Queen needs a new pair

When wearing shoes, the shoes must be worn and softened by a shoe wearer to ensure that the shoes will not scratch the Queen's feet when wearing them.

Russia has always been quite mysterious to the outside world. After all, Russia has been ostracized by the "free world" since its founding and has no chance to understand it.

Russia was beaten so miserably in the early stage, and Big Beard has been holding in a breath. This breath must be released now. If the Southern African federal government does not want to get into trouble, it must sacrifice the interests of European countries.

Don't worry about East Asia. Russia doesn't look down on East Asia either. Didn't you see that they always claim to be a European country? The Russians won't look back until they get into trouble.

Therefore, you must be very careful when making friends with Russia. Such a country is too easy to penetrate and the political uncertainty is too great.

"Then amplify the threat of the Russians, so that Europe will have to rely more on us-" Stoudemire's way of thinking is still very flexible.

Arthur smiled, this is the real reason why southern Africa and the United States continue to provide aid to Russia.

Winston saw the purpose of Southern Africa and the United States, so he kept calling on Southern Africa and the United States to face the Russian threat.

Roosevelt was not a fool. Even if Roosevelt wanted to leave his name in history, if there was no benefit in aiding Russia, the real owners of the United States behind Roosevelt would not agree.

This is the truth. The United States has never been the United States of Americans, but belongs to American capital.

You can think of the United States as a company, and everyone serves capital.

Southern Africa is essentially the same, but the difference lies in the different distribution methods. In the United States, capital is all-consuming, and no one cares about the life and death of the people at the bottom, who are left to fend for themselves.

Southern Africa strives to protect the interests of everyone. Whether you can transcend classes in this system in Southern Africa depends on luck.

In Southern Africa, it is at least possible to cross over, and the Federal Government of Southern Africa has told you how.

The United States actually also depends on fate. Reincarnation is a technical job, just like the seemingly inconspicuous Tongzi Tower next to New York's Central Park. You have it when you are born. If you don't have it, it's best not to expect it.

"You can do this in Budapest, just treat it as a business game -" Stoudemire said in a very relaxed tone.

That's right. When I was born, the whole of Rhodesia was family property, so I do have this qualification.

Arthur didn't quite agree with what Stoudemire said, but he didn't explicitly object. For Stoudemire, it was just a game, and winning or losing didn't matter much.

It's different for Arthur.

Arthur's status in southern Africa is actually quite embarrassing.

As Roque's eldest son, Gavin is the much-anticipated heir in Southern Africa. Arthur can only guard the gate for Southern Africa in Cyprus. Someone else might not be able to ask for it, but for Arthur, it is indeed a bit unwilling.

Who doesn't yearn for a bigger stage?

If you really don't have that life, forget it.

Arthur is also considered to be infinitely close to the center of power. He is a dignified Viscount of the British Empire. He has received elite education since childhood and has a good foundation. He also has a father-in-law of Stoudemire's ability as a foreign aid. If he really wants to give it a try, he may not have a chance.

After leaving Stoudemire's mansion, Arthur was not in a hurry to find Ada and asked the driver to drive around Pretoria.

There is a big difference between Pretoria and Cyprus.

Purely in terms of wealth, Cyprus is actually not bad. After all, most of Europe's richest people fled to Cyprus after the war broke out. Cyprus itself is a showcase platform for Southern Africa that invested heavily in Europe, so the bottom line is already high enough.

But the upper limit won't be too high.

Cyprus is like the Garden of Eden, a place where people can forget about the ongoing war in Europe.

But Cyprus is located in Europe after all, and no one can say whether war will come one day. Although southern Africa is strong, no one thinks that France can only resist for 42 days before France stops resisting.

Therefore, in this precarious era, European wealthy people are also living in a dream in Cyprus. No one knows whether tomorrow or the accident will come first.

Southern Africans obviously have no such concerns.

Without the threat of war, there would be no biggest black swan. Only those who have experienced war will know how precious peace is. Southern Africa has not experienced a war for more than 40 years since the Second Boer War. Many southern Africans

I have no idea about war at all.

From those movies about war shot in Star City, war is always a battle between justice and evil, with various human nature flashpoints, various supermen saving the world, and romance on the battlefield at every turn, which has changed the attitude of many ordinary southern Africans towards war.

Very yearning for it.

In fact, it's all nonsense.

Not only movies, but more than 99% of everything that southern Africans can accept is in the service of politics. If directors don’t make the war exciting, how can they mobilize southern Africans to actively join the army and go thousands of miles away?

Besides, he is fighting to the death with another group of people for a group of people who have nothing to do with him.

It’s not just southern Africa that does this, but all countries in the world do it. The United States is even more egregious than southern Africa. Various metaphors abound, and no shot is redundant.

With this foundation, the expressions on the faces of the southern Africans that Arthur could see were all calm and unhurried.

That's right, Pretoria is the capital of southern Africa, and it's not easy to survive in Pretoria, so it didn't feel real to Arthur.

The real southern Africa is here in Ada. As the finance minister of southern Africa, Ada has a better understanding of southern Africa than Roque.

"Why didn't Luo Ya and the children come back?" Ada didn't care about politics and war, but cared about her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

"It's too tiring to take a long-distance flight, and you have to make a layover in the middle. I won't stay in Pretoria for too long, so I won't bother you-" Arthur Versailles, you are also using a special plane for your long-distance flight, okay?

If this is tiring, how can ordinary people live?

However, if time is not a consideration, it is indeed more comfortable to take a cruise from Cyprus to Pretoria.

"Too much pressure?" Ada knew her son very well, and Arthur was not a man who couldn't resist things.

"No, I just came back to report -" Arthur said lightly, obviously not wanting to worry his mother.

Arthur is also considered a feudal official and the commander-in-chief of the army. He should come back every now and then to report on his duties.

Angel and Barton often fly in both directions, debriefing and striving for greater support at the same time. A crying child needs milk.

Arthur has a better bottom line than Angel and Barton in this regard, but the result is that the First Army led by Barton and the Fourth Army led by Angel are getting stronger and stronger.

"Remember the story I told you about Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf?" Ada patiently enlightened.

"Of course, I also told my children-" Arthur smiled, this can be regarded as word of mouth.

"Grandma Wolf ate Little Red Riding Hood because she was patient -" Ada cut into the story and broke all of Arthur's memories of his beautiful childhood.

"You are too impatient now, why?" Ada did not expect Arthur to answer, hoping that Arthur would reflect seriously.

It is indeed time to reflect. It is useless to be tough when facing the Russians. It will only make the conflict worse and further affect the relationship between southern Africa and Russia.

To put it bluntly, there is no fundamental conflict between Southern Africa and Russia. Can Russia threaten Southern Africa? No, so the British, French and Germans should be worried about Russia.

When Arthur was confronting the Russians, the United States was still sending aid to Russia. The relationship between Russia and the United States would undergo some changes. This is the real threat to southern Africa.

Therefore, even if Arthur gives Buda to the Russians, it will not cause much loss to southern Africa. If Arthur is smart, he can make an exchange with Big Beard.

For example, exchanging Buda for Russia's ambitions on the Bosporus——

Most bearded men will not agree to this exchange, but how will you know if you don't try it.

"You should go back to Pretoria more often. I'm going to the Parliament tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" Ada asked Arthur to reflect on more than just Russia.

Congress——

Although Arthur is not a member of Congress, he is very familiar with the Congress of Southern Africa. I still remember that when Arthur was a child, Ada often took Arthur with her when she went to Congress.

This is not an attempt to cultivate Arthur into a politician, but also to create his own personality.

Everyone knows that Ada is not married, and the image of a single mother is still very marketable.

The great thing is that everyone knows about Arthur and Rock's relationship, so just take a look.
