Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Chapter 2560 If you lose, you have to pay money

The bearded man is not stupid. Why bother boarding the sinking British ship if we don't have two better partners, Southern Africa and the United States? Although the bearded man can't pronounce these four words, the truth is the same.

Communicating.

At the Paris Peace Conference, the Compensation Commission decided that Germany needed to compensate Germany for a total of 226 billion marks, equivalent to 11.3 billion pounds, to be paid in gold.

In 1921, the amount of compensation was revised to 4.99 billion pounds, or 132 billion marks.

Beard's method of determining the amount of compensation is relatively simple. Because the total number of Russian casualties in the war was about 60 million, Beard demanded that Germany compensate Russia for 600 billion rubles, which is approximately equivalent to 120 billion rand.

"The Russians are tolerant and will no longer pursue the property losses caused by the war to Russia. We will settle this debt with the Germans slowly." The bearded words made Roark and Roosevelt frown at the same time.

600 billion is too much. The current salary of Russian soldiers is only 17 rubles per month for ordinary soldiers. If they are injured and hospitalized, it will be halved. The income of officers is higher, only a few hundred. Senior officers like Malinovsky

, the monthly salary is only 4,000 rubles.

Corresponding to the cheap salary are high rewards.

In June 1942, Big Beard announced that if he did not shoot down a German fighter jet, the pilot would receive a reward of 1,000 rubles.

The value of a transport aircraft is slightly higher than that of a fighter aircraft, reaching 1500 rubles.

Bombers are the most valuable, each one costs 2,000 rubles.

In 1943, the scope of rewards was expanded to include trains. For every German train destroyed, the pilot could receive a reward of 750 rubles and the crew member 500 rubles.

For the Army, for every tank crew that destroys a German tank, the commander, mechanic and gunner are each awarded 500, and the remaining personnel are awarded 200. For the artillery crew that destroys a tank, the gunner and gunner are awarded 500, and the others are also awarded 200.

The navy has the highest reward, with a destroyer worth 10,000. However, few people can get this reward. So far, only one pilot has received this reward.

Although the salary is not high, military personnel have a special benefit. They can purchase various supplies from military service agencies at relatively low prices.

For example, the official price of a bottle of vodka is 30 rubles. In fact, it is impossible to buy it at this price. The price of vodka on the black market is as high as 800 rubles per bottle. Soldiers can buy it at the military service agency for 11.4 rubles.

Because the war is not over yet, Russia has not announced the pension standards for casualty soldiers.

Considering the current treatment of Russian soldiers, it will definitely not reach 10,000 rubles per person.

For the Southern African Expeditionary Force, if someone is killed in action, the pension is about R10,000.

"600 billion, haha, you are so generous -" Winston couldn't help but mock, just go to sleep, you will have everything in your dreams.

"This number is too high, and the Germans simply cannot afford it." Roque said matter-of-factly.

If the Russians only want one or two billion, the Germans may be able to afford it if they work hard.

Don’t even think about 600 billion.

This is only compensation to Russia. What about France? What about Britain? What about Belgium? Germany has also caused considerable losses to Southern Africa, and Southern Africa will not give up compensation.

Roosevelt hasn't spoken yet.

Given the Americans' desperate need for money, they will certainly not give up Germany's compensation.

"No, as long as the time is long enough, the Germans are able to pay -" the bearded man looked seriously.

This is true. Just as Foolish Old Man moved the mountains, there will be endless descendants. If one generation is not enough, then there will be two generations. If one generation is not enough, then there will be two centuries.

This money must also have interest. As for how high the interest is, it depends on how dark the bearded man's heart is.

Anyway, if it were Roque, if there were 60 million casualties in southern Africa, then nine out of ten and thirteen out would be considered a conscience.

"I'm afraid the Germans will have to pay it back until the 23rd century." Winston watched the excitement and did not mind the matter. This debt would not fall on Britain anyway.

"In order to ensure the timely repayment of the Germans, we must station troops in Germany to supervise the Germans." Big Beard Tuqiong saw that reparations and everything else were just gimmicks.

In the early stages of the war, Germany indeed made a fortune through war plunder.

This money cannot be kept. Now that the Russian army has invaded Germany, the Germans took it away. Now the Russians will take it back twice as much without leaving any capital behind.

This part will definitely not be included in the calculation. It is a war expenditure. When this battle is over, Germany will not even have any underpants left. What will it use to pay compensation?

So we can only accept the garrison and become a new type of colony, which we deserve.

"The purpose of reparations is not to punish, but to prompt the Germans to reflect on the damage caused by the war -" Roosevelt had high intentions, and the United States did not have many demands on the issue of reparations.

This is also normal.

In the early days of the war, the United States did not stop trade with Germany. It can be said that Germany stole money from European countries through the war, and finally flowed to the United States through trade, and the Americans made a lot of money.

Later, Germany's finances dried up and there was really no money to buy supplies from the United States, so the United States finally entered the war.

This is not enough. Now the Russians are demanding huge compensation. Roosevelt generously stated that the purpose of the compensation is not punishment——

What's that?

Is it a stage for America to show its generosity and kindness?

No, it's because the Americans don't want to weaken Germany too much. At this time, standing up and pretending to be a good person is more conducive to gaining the favor of the Germans.

To put it more darkly, the Americans are laying the foundation for World War III.

When World War III broke out, the United States could still shout for free trade while handing weapons to both sides at the same time. Until one side completely ran out of money, the Americans would simply end the war.

During the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Americans were providing various aids to Ukraine, while at the same time they were aggressively hunting for low-priced Russian energy.

The most disgusting thing is not only that, but that you can only buy it yourself and not let your allies buy it.

It has an internal smell, right?

So when faced with Roosevelt, who was such a reflective person, Rock just smiled and said nothing.

Roosevelt's calculation was good, and Rock was not stupid. No matter how confused the Europeans were, southern Africans could help them wake up and see the true face of the United States.

It's not that complicated, just tell the truth.

The key is to speak up and not pretend to be confused.

"The victims in the gas chambers of Auschwitz probably won't make the Germans sit in front of the fireplace, drink wine, and reflect on the damage caused by the war like us." The bearded man can accept assistance from Americans, but he really doesn't like it.

American values.

If you want to be a gangster, just be a gangster. Shouting for fairness and justice while sneaking around is nothing. Is this how your parents taught you?

This is really not a personal attack.

As we all know, the United States is a country made up of thieves, robbers, and homeless people. Don’t expect such a country to have high moral standards.

"Joseph, if you want to achieve your goal, you can't let the Germans completely lose hope." Rock's words are more practical. For compensation, Big Beard can even ask for 6 trillion. After all, life is priceless.

But that has to be something the Germans can afford.

Big Beard wants to station troops in Germany. Any supervision of the Germans is just an excuse. The fundamental purpose is to obtain a steady stream of benefits from Germany.

This cannot push the Germans to a dead end, but must allow the Germans to see hope, so that the Germans will work hard to repay their debts.

If there is no hope, the Germans will completely lie down. Maybe the term "Berlin Abandoned House" will appear in the future. By then, the threat from Germany will be gone, and the benefits will be gone. There will still be troops stationed in Germany.

What's the point?

"Then how much would you say is appropriate?" Big Beard's attitude towards Rock was quite good.

Whether your attitude is good or not depends on who you are treating it with.

The bearded man's attitude towards Winston is not getting any better. A list of all the countries in the world shows that Britain ranks firmly in the top two in terms of hostility towards Russia.

The first one will probably not be the Germans, it should be Poland!

Relatively speaking, southern Africa's attitude towards Russia is relatively friendly.

As soon as the Russo-German war broke out, Southern Africa stated that it could provide assistance to Russia regardless of anything in return.

Southern Africa has indeed done this. From aircraft and tanks to daily necessities, Southern Africa will fully provide whatever Russia needs. When the Russo-German war was at its most tense, assistance to Russia was given higher priority than the logistics supply of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

.

"What do you think of 100 billion?" The number given by Rock was not too far from the bearded man's psychological expectation.

"Rand?" The bearded man was surprised. There is not much difference between 100 billion and 120 billion.

"Ruble!" Roque couldn't laugh or cry. It's not appropriate to use Rand for the debt between you Russians and Germany.

Of course, this also means that the importance of the rand is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, at least more reliable than the pound.

"Give it all to Russia?" Big Beard made a huge concession. If it all went to Russia, that would be acceptable.

"Of course not. Germany should also compensate other countries that have caused harm." Roque broke the bearded illusion and left it all to the rest of Russia. De Gaulle was going to cause trouble.

"That's definitely not possible. Russia only wants 600 billion, which is already very kind!" Big Beard refused. 100 billion sounds like a lot. With so many countries, how much more can be left?

"If it is 100 billion, Russia can get half of it, and Southern Africa can give it up." Roque is the real high-profile person who worries about world peace.

Before the bearded man could be happy, something happened to Winston again.

"The United Kingdom should also get 50 per cent."

Both Roark and Roosevelt looked at you sideways, "You are so shameless."

100 billion rubles, equivalent to 20 billion rand, Russia will get half, the UK will get half, and other countries will just watch.

Roosevelt didn't have much objection to this plan.

Roque's plan is aimed at Germany and has not yet begun to liquidate Japan.

Roque generously gave up his claim against Germany, and he will definitely kill Japan. It is estimated that the tens of millions of Japanese people will be fooled and they will not be able to pay back the debt in two lifetimes.

If you calculate it this way, it seems that the United States can give up.

"The United Kingdom suffered 60 million casualties in this war?" The bearded man was full of fire.

This question made Winston slightly embarrassed.

Britain lost a total of 400,000 people in World War II, including 30,000 civilians killed in German bombings.

This loss, in Russia, would probably be enough to fight a third of the Battle of Volgograd.

"The contribution of the United Kingdom in this war is no less than that of your Russia. We repelled the German attack in Britain, defeated the German army in North Africa, and landed in Normandy——" Winston did not compare with the bearded man.

The number of casualties, many of your Russians died because you are so incompetent.

"Haha——" The bearded man laughed in anger. The British have no ability to fight, but their ability to confuse right and wrong is outstanding.

If we tabulate the contributions of various countries in World War II, Russia's contribution was at least 50%, and the United Kingdom's contribution was at most 1%.

If you add in the consequences of appeasement, there is not even one percent.

The people present were all understanding people, and with such an attitude, it was natural that the conversation would not continue and the conversation would end on bad terms.

Winston did not return to his Massandra Palace, but went to the Vorontsov Palace where Roark stayed.

Winston was not in the mood to be jealous of Roark at this time, and his mood was a bit chaotic now.

The United States was eyeing him, and Russia was unreliable. After going around in a circle, Winston found that Roark was easier to deal with. At least Roark was not as greedy as Big Beard.

As for Roosevelt—

Roosevelt's physical condition is now very bad. During the second half of the meeting just now, Roosevelt was obviously out of energy. Rock, the bearded man, and Winston all noticed this, so the meeting ended hastily.

This is Roosevelt's fourth term. When this term ends, given Roosevelt's physical condition, there will definitely not be a fifth term.

From a pessimistic point of view, it is doubtful whether we can survive the fourth term.

"Locke, do you remember the scene when we met?" Winston played the emotional card, which was one of the few things he could use now.

Rock still attaches great importance to relationships.

"Of course, I remember you were drunk and Henry and I were on duty-" A smile appeared on Rock's face, recalling the glorious past.

"Allowing Southern Africa to become independent is the greatest regret of the British Empire." Winston changed the topic and returned to the relationship between Southern Africa and the United Kingdom: "-But this is also the British Empire's luck. If Southern Africa remains in the British Empire,

Within the Federation, then we have lost our most powerful ally."

Rock smiled and nodded, and made tea for Winston with his own hands.

It's not the English afternoon tea that Winston is more accustomed to, but southern African black tea.

"You have to admit that during the rise of Southern Africa, the British Empire gave Southern Africa enough help. From Cape Town to Cyprus, to Diego Garcia and Changi Naval Base, the United Kingdom put its best into

To Southern Africa, just like mother treats her—" Winston spoke more and more passionately, and Rock had already started to get goosebumps.

"Stop!" Luo Ke stopped him in time. If he continued to speak, he would not be a loving mother and a filial son, but would be jumping up and down.

Winston's smile was a little awkward, probably because he couldn't bear to be so disgusting.

"Locke, I and the United Kingdom now need your help and that of Southern Africa." Winston has to continue to be nauseous. Locke and Southern Africa are the only straw for Winston and the United Kingdom now.

"Winston, if it were you, I would do my best -" Rock's smile was sincere, only for Winston himself, not the British Empire: "-Enlarging it to the United Kingdom, or even the Commonwealth, what do you think?

What can southern Africa do?”

Winston is silent and doesn't ask you to do your best, as long as you don't cause trouble.
