Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
Chapter 2570 Purifying the Soul
Some people once said that public opinion in Southern Africa is not the same as usual. In fact, this is not true. France is one of Southern Africa’s most important allies in Europe. After the outbreak of World War II, the reason why France quickly gave up its resistance in just a few dozen days was not because the French were too
He's weak, but his teammates are too stupid.
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs. This sentence is vividly reflected in France.
No country will end up better than France if it becomes an ally with Britain.
As the biggest troublemaker in Europe and even the entire world, the UK has done countless evil things. Why the relationship between Southern Africa and the UK went up and down during the world wars is because of the UK’s ill will towards the world.
For the benefit of Britain, the British are willing to sacrifice the entire world. In the process of interacting with other countries, the British's indifference and selfishness are fully demonstrated. Including Winston, the British's hostility towards southern Africa is also undisguised.
of.
This is even more true for France.
Leon Blum also knows the hatefulness of the British. As a European, he graduated from the Law Department of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. He once served as a legal advisor in the Administrative Court, is good at analyzing complex cases, and is an independent-thinking Frenchman.
, and have a deeper understanding of the nature of Britain.
"Before coming to Yalta, I met with General de Gaulle in Paris. General de Gaulle was also very angry that France did not receive the invitation, but it was not surprising. After France chose to stop resisting, this is what we have to go through.
——" Leon Bloom has profound eyes. He is already in his seventies. He was born in the year after the failure of the Paris Commune. He has experienced two world wars and has a deeper understanding of the world.
Sidney Milner didn't say anything. He was actually very curious about France, especially in today's world, where France is definitely a weirdo.
Of all the countries in the world, France was the first to experiment with a republic.
When everyone mentions France, their first impression is that France has a revolving door of candidates for prime minister, but this also means that in France, anyone with political ideals can try to express their ambitions.
Aristide Briand served as prime minister in France for 11 times, which is almost impossible in southern Africa, or any other country.
Look at Winston. His importance to Britain is unparalleled. The royal family is considering using the title "Duke of Renton" to thank Winston for his contribution to Britain. However, in the British Parliament, Winston is facing many crises.
, it is almost certain that as soon as the world war ends, Winston will go out again.
The same goes for Leon Blum. He was not accepted by mainstream French society for a long time. It was not until 1932, forced by the threat from the far right, that Russia agreed to unite the Comintern and the French non-Comintern left, and Blum finally
There is a chance.
However, Bloom did not fully agree with the Russian model. The October Revolution broke out in Russia in 1917, and leftists across Europe cheered. However, Bloom believed that "violent revolution" ran counter to the spirit of democracy——
This matter cannot be discussed further.
"France is no longer obsessed with colonialism and no longer expands externally. We are actually not interested in the most advanced aircraft carriers at all, but if we can obtain security commitments, this is what we hope to get." Leon Bloom
It's very frank. Since I can't object, I might as well accept it calmly.
After two world wars, France has inevitably become a second-rate country.
But a second-rate country also has its benefits. After withdrawing from the power struggle, France can use more resources to improve the living standards of its citizens, which is what Leon Blum has been pursuing.
In 1936, the Popular Front led by Léon Blum won an unprecedented victory in the French parliamentary election. The Socialist Party became the largest party in Congress and Léon Blum became the French Prime Minister.
During his tenure as French Prime Minister, Léon Blum used his power as much as possible to help poor French families improve their lives and strive to improve social welfare. When fighting against the threat of far-right forces, Léon Blum took the lead and almost lost his life.
, so Leon Blum gained the trust of the French.
France is now in dire straits and needs tens of billions of rand for reconstruction, which France cannot afford due to its current situation.
The main purpose of Leon Bloom's visit to Yalta this time was to get the loan needed for reconstruction. As for how the money came from, Leon Bloom didn't care.
If Southern Africa is willing to give, then Southern Africa must be Leon Bloom's first choice.
But if Southern Africa doesn't want to, then so can the United States.
Even the UK can.
"Broom, you should know that southern Africa has always been France's staunchest ally." Sidney Milner was very smart, not mentioning Free France or the Socialist Party, but using France.
This is exactly what Leon Bloom hopes.
"Of course I know, that's why I came here. Friendship is not one-sided, but a two-way street." Leon Bloom knew Sidney Milner's authority, and there were some promises that Sidney could not give.
The person with authority is Rock.
So when reporting to Roark, Sidney Milner emphasized the French's sincerity.
"The French don't have an urgent need for aircraft carriers, so I thought, why not sell our battleships to the French?" Sidney Milner is the real profiteer, even more egregious than Stoudemire.
There are only four battleships in southern Africa, all of which were purchased from France and have been in service for more than 20 years.
These four battleships are useless to the current Southern African Navy and have basically no value at all. For example, the "Congo" serving in the Atlantic Fleet has not used its main guns at all in the past two years. Its status is
It is similar to the British "Giant" class aircraft carrier.
There is a situation that fully demonstrates the value of these battleships in southern Africa.
European and American battleships of the same era as these battleships have all been decommissioned and dismantled.
So the problem arises.
Dismantling a battleship requires a huge expense. Compared with dismantling it, selling it second-hand is a better choice.
In Sidney Milner's plan, the battleships originally purchased from France were sold to the French at the original price, or at a higher price than the original price. This was more expensive than offering the British a price of 200 million rand.
Too much.
Wilson rejects bid for Sidney Milner.
The French are happy with it.
Nothing is more magical than this.
Rock originally wanted to say, "You're going too far."
But Martin next to him blurted out: "This is such a good idea!"
Well, none of the ministers in Southern Africa are good.
"We still need to help the French build a fleet that is in line with France's current strength and international status. This is not only to maintain our image, but also to take care of the feelings of our allies." Roque never fishes in the lake when doing business, West Germany
Although Ni Milner's plan is good, it also has great hidden dangers.
The French are in urgent need of security commitments. If southern Africa takes advantage of the situation, the French will break their teeth and swallow them with blood.
But what about the future?
Although France's international status has declined, it is not a country that anyone can insult. What if the French are determined to become stronger, self-reliant, relying on their huge overseas colonies and the efforts of the French to achieve resurgence——
Although it is almost impossible, Roque also has to consider the feelings of the French.
You can't have no bottom line like the British.
"If you can't sell it, you have to dismantle it yourself. Each one has to be worth several million. After this, an aircraft carrier formation will appear -" Martin felt distressed. When the French were strong, they would not compromise like this.
Regardless of the low profile of the French now, when France was strong, it was invincible in defeating all over Europe. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "the best army in the world".
How did France come to have its vast colonies in North and West Africa?
It wasn’t stolen!
Therefore, Martin never believed in the inner saint and the outer king, and the dark forest was the kingly way.
Europeans never talk about harmonious symbiosis.
"It doesn't have to be dismantled. We can convert it into a museum or a private yacht, as long as someone is willing to pay for it." Gavin has a flexible mind. Who said that battleships can only be dismantled when they are retired?
Stoudemire's private yacht converted from a battleship is the best example.
Of course it would be okay to convert it into a museum. In the future, southern Africans will also need patriotic education, so that generations of southern Africans can experience the difficulties and obstacles their ancestors faced when they started their businesses.
Of course, this idea is unacceptable to most people.
After all, Stoudemire is the only one capable of converting a battleship into a private yacht.
"Don't worry about this. It's pretty good to have this result." Luo Ke was satisfied. It's a good thing that someone is paying for it.
How much does four battleships cost? The dozen heavy aircraft carriers that are about to be retired and the fleet aircraft carriers converted from comprehensive supply ships are the big ones.
Regardless of whether Roark is willing or not, jet-boarding and nuclear power are the way to go. Southern Africa must do the same in order to safeguard its own interests. Therefore, these current aircraft carriers will be quickly eliminated in just a dozen years or even a few years.
Rock couldn't change this fact.
It would be best if someone is willing to take over these aircraft carriers now. An "island" can be sold for 200 million, which is enough to build a new aircraft carrier that the Southern African Navy hopes to get. This can effectively deal with the pressure brought by the US Navy. What Rock is most concerned about now
Or war.
While the Yalta Conference was going on, the war was still going on. The Allied forces on the Eastern Front were stepping up their attack on Vienna, and the offensive on the Western Front was about to begin.
In the distant Far East, the Allied offensive against Japan also continued.
Nagasaki Sasebo was a fishing village during the Edo period. Until the Meiji era, the Japanese Navy set up the Sasebo garrison here, which became the focus of Japan's defense of the western sea area and also promoted the rapid development of the area.
Before and after World War I, Sasebo became one of the most important bases of the Japanese Navy. It has one of the most important military ports of the Japanese Navy and is also the most important base of the Japanese Navy's submarine force.
Before the Allied forces landed, Japan released the plague virus on the entire island of Kyushu in an attempt to use the disease to stop the Allied forces from advancing.
As one of the most important ports in Kyushu, Sasebo is no exception. However, unlike other large cities such as Nagasaki and Fukuoka, Sasebo is a military base and has a small number of civilians, so the impact of the plague is not serious.
"It's not serious? Haha, if you really believe it, you are so naive!" Chris from Oregon, USA, is rarely relaxed. Only in the wild can Allied officers and soldiers take off their gas masks and enjoy the sunshine and free air.
.
"Isn't that what the newspaper said?" Derek, who is also from Oregon, was surprised. He had just arrived in Sasebo as a supplementary soldier and everything was still fresh.
The process of the Allied forces' capture of Kyushu was lackluster. There were few large-scale battles. The Japanese army's only few counterattacks did not last long before the entire front collapsed due to the superior firepower and reorganized logistics of the Allied forces. During the battle, the Allied forces
Not many troops were lost.
The real headache is non-combat attrition, which is even more obvious in the US military.
Compared with American soldiers, southern African soldiers are relatively clean and self-sufficient. At least they don't have fun with Japanese women after fighting.
U.S. soldiers with lax military discipline were unlucky. Many of them not only contracted diseases while communicating with Japanese women, but were also attacked by Japanese women. MacArthur had to issue an order prohibiting U.S. troops from having sex with unidentified women during combat.
Have a relationship.
This kind of thing cannot be prevented, it still needs to be guided.
So there was a great idea to use official channels to provide an outlet for the severely over-energetic American soldiers.
This has led to a new problem. Even if there is no plague, there will be other diseases that threaten the health of American soldiers. Taking the 47th Infantry Division as an example, within a month of landing in Kyushu, non-combat attrition reached an astonishing level.
Thirty percent of.
It was against this background that Derek came to Sasebo as a supplementary soldier.
"The newspapers also told you about the friendship between Japan and the United States. Can you believe this?" Chris lectured the recruit Danzi in the tone of someone who had experienced it.
Regardless of how brutally the Allied and Japanese troops fought in reality, the official propaganda was about world unity. Newspapers also published photos of soldiers from the Southern African Expeditionary Force distributing candies to Japanese children. Only a ghost would believe it!
In dealing with the Japanese, the officers and soldiers of the Southern African Expedition were much more ruthless than the American soldiers. The American soldiers even received meager allowances to save Japan's fallen souls.
The soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force only used incendiary bombs and grenades to purify the souls of the Japanese.
"There are quite a lot of cars driving out of the port every day." Derek suddenly realized that the entire Sasebo Military Port was now under military control, and thousands of corpses were taken away every day and burned in the wild wasteland.
This is the most effective way to deal with viruses.
"It doesn't matter to us, they were all killed by the virus dropped by the Japanese government!" Chris emphasized, how could the righteous Allies kill innocent people indiscriminately.
