Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1858

Signing the "Non-Aggression Pact" with Southern Africa is of little significance to Germany. Even if it is not signed, it is difficult for a war to break out between Southern Africa and Germany. Lake Victoria, the northernmost tip of Southern Africa, is more than 6000 kilometers away from Berlin. Kilometers, if you count the detour distance, it will break ten thousand.

With a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, even if you want to go on an expedition, it is very difficult, and the difficulty of logistical supplies will make you want to die. Think about how Russia lost the Battle of Tsushima, and you will know how difficult the expedition is.

For Europe, southern Africa is also a safe corner, and being far away from the European continent ensures that southern Africa can be like the United States, and it is difficult for the flames of war to reach southern Africa itself.

However, Southern Africa does not lack supply points in Europe. There is Saint Roque in the English Channel and Cyprus in the Mediterranean, so Mustache hopes that Roque can visit Germany, which will greatly promote the relationship between Southern Africa and Germany.

The problem is that Mustache is busy at work, and so is Rock.

So why is Rock visiting Germany and not Mustache visiting southern Africa?
What's more, the mood of the French allies has to be considered, so the visit to Germany will have to wait.

"What's going on in Japan?" Rock was still concerned about the Far East.

"Japan was preparing to build a new class of super battleship some time ago, and it did not hesitate to abolish two army units for this purpose-but there seems to be something wrong with the Japanese, and there has been no movement until now." Louis smiled, the empire is dead——

Now the evil has finally appeared.

For Japan, Rock is actually not very worried.

Even if Japan jumps again, where is the overall strength? After cutting off the input from the United States, Japan will be the turtle in the urn.

Rock's only concern now is British Malaya.

Borneo, chosen by Rock as the bridgehead against Japan, not all belonged to East India, and the northern coastal area belonged to British Malaya, which had a huge impact on the deployment of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

The most important thing for beach landing is to establish a forward base. In "Sun Tzu Marching Army", there is also the saying "strike halfway", which means to deal a devastating blow to the enemy before the enemy has completed the landing.

Now the problem comes, northern Borneo belongs to British Malaya.

According to the British military power in the Far East, it is obviously unable to resist the Japanese attack.

In this way, even if the Indian Ocean Fleet deploys heavy troops in Borneo, it will not be able to achieve the effect of "half-crossing strike". Then Japan can easily establish a forward base through British Malaya, and launch an attack on East Indian Borneo in an orderly manner. .

Although Rock is confident, even if Japan lands easily, it is impossible to defeat the Northern Division of Rhodesia.

But why choose a more complicated process if the Japanese can be easily defeated?
"Send Tang Li a telegram and ask him to find a way to solve this problem." Rock still didn't want to tear himself apart with Britain, so he kept a line with each other so that we could meet in the future.

"Good lord——" Louis has a rich expression, East India, Borneo, it seems that Brad's office can also have a hand.

When Rock was about to test Tang Li, Tang Li was using a telescope to observe Kuching not far away at Stone Dragon Gate in northern Borneo.

Kuching is the city with the longest history in East Malay. In Malay, Kuching means cat. Local people like cats very much. The city symbol of Kuching is a lovely white cat.

As the largest city in East Malaysia, Kuching is known as the "water capital". Rubber, coconut, and pepper are Kuching's specialties. Unfortunately, the population of this city is less than 5.

At present in 1931, the total population of British Malaya was less than 300 million, of which more than 60.00% lived in West Malaysia, and East Malaysia accounted for 20.00% of British Malaya, but the population was only [-]% of the total population. about.

After the independence of East India, nearly one million Chinese in British Malaya migrated to East India, which had a great impact on British Malaya.

"It's a pity that such a good city will be destroyed soon." Tang Li put down the binoculars in his hand, his face full of melancholy.

Even if the Indian Ocean Fleet and the East Indies do not launch an attack on Kuching, once Southern Africa and Japan go to war, Kuching will definitely become the target of Japan's attack. With the strength of British Malaya, it may not be able to stop the Japanese attack.

Tang Li is now thinking about how to incorporate East Malaysia into the defense system of the Indian Ocean Fleet and East India. Southern Africa has more than 30 troops stationed at Changi Naval Base. The total strength of East India now exceeds [-], and they are undergoing rigorous training day and night. .

The nominal population of East India is only 1100 million. This is because only Chinese and people of Chinese descent are eligible to become East Indians. In fact, the population of East India exceeds 6000 million, more than Britain and France, and similar to Germany.

As a country of the Southern African Union, strictly speaking, the East India cannot have an army. After Japan withdrew from the League of Nations, Southern Africa loosened restrictions on the East India, and the East India expanded its army to 30, most of whom were natives of the East India.

"Why don't we talk to the British and bring East Malaysia into our defense system." Ramsden's current status is the deputy chief of the East India Army. It will take a while to train to the point where they can fight.

This is thanks to the strong support of Southern Africa, otherwise the East India would not even have enough weapons for the troops.

After the replacement of semi-automatic rifles in southern Africa, there are still a lot of Lee Enfields in stock, and there is no pressure to arm 30 people.

As for other supplies needed by the troops, those that can be provided locally will be purchased locally, and those that cannot be provided locally will be purchased from southern Africa. In fact, it does not cost much.

The East Indian troops, which are mainly composed of natives, are not trained according to elite standards. Strictly speaking, they are actually cannon fodder. Combat power, although the East Indian government is unable to equip the troops with tanks and helicopters, the number of machine guns and mortars is quite large, and heavy artillery is not lacking, but the requirements for gunners are relatively high. The average education level of East Indian soldiers, To train a qualified gunner, the difficulty is relatively high.

It is said that East India also imitated Southern Africa to establish a public education system, but it did not implement compulsory education. Although Chinese is now the only official language in East India, there are not many local aborigines who can understand Chinese, and they can't even understand the words. I think too much when I go to school, and the East India government obviously won’t prepare language schools for the aborigines. Fortunately, in recent years, more and more aborigines have taken the initiative to learn Chinese. For these people, the East India government does not discriminate against them, and they cannot be of the same race. Let's talk about the same text first.

"If southern Africa remains in the Commonwealth, then this matter may be possible, now—" Tang Li sneered, and he knew it by looking at the Changi Naval Base.

When Southern Africa first bought the Changi Naval Base, Southern Africa was still within the Commonwealth.

Because the area of ​​the Changi Naval Base planned by the British government is too small, the area of ​​the Changi Naval Base after the Indian Ocean Fleet took over has expanded by more than ten times.

Now that southern Africa is separated from the Commonwealth, the Johorese are actually trying to claim Tekong Island from the Indian Ocean Fleet. It was stationed on Pulau Tekong, so it is still impossible to pay it back. After all, the Indian Ocean Fleet bought Pulau Tekong directly for real money.

See clearly, it's a buyout, not a lease, or an occupation. If there is an agreement, if you want to tear it up, it depends on whether the naval guns of the Indian Ocean Fleet agree or not.

So in the past, if Southern Africa talked with British Malaya, they might be able to include East Malaysia into their defense system, but now it will definitely not work. Even if the Malays agree, the British will not agree.

While Tang Li and Ramsden were observing Kuching, Smollett, the business manager of Nyasaland Military Industry in the Kuching Eastern Suburb Barracks, was visiting Major Bridges, the commander of the British Army in East Malaysia.

You may not believe it, but in East Malaysia, which covers an area of ​​nearly 20 square kilometers, the British army only stationed a battalion with less than 600 people, and this battalion is still a colonial servant army composed of Indians.

The combat effectiveness of the Indian army is scum. During the World War, India also claimed to have sent an expeditionary force with a total strength of one million people to Europe. Unfortunately, there were very few records, and there were not many records of participating in the war. Most of the time, the Indian army was responsible for logistics. .

It's not that the lives of the Indians are cherished. The Indians are really overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility. When they send Indian troops to attack, the Indians pretend to be dead, and they will not jump out of the trenches anyway.

It is even more tragic to send Indian troops to defend. Many Indian soldiers did not even know the most basic maintenance of guns until the end of the World War. I am afraid that such troops can only be used as donkeys.

The Indian army stationed in Kuching is the same. I have to say that although the British are in decline, the basic nutrition of the troops is still guaranteed, so the Indian troops stationed in Kuching look pretty good with big turbans. He has a healthy body, big shoulders and a round waist, and the posture of holding a gun and guarding is full of power. Unfortunately, everyone knows that this is what he looks like.

Smollett came to Bridges to sell weapons.

It is very frustrating to say that during the First World War, Britain produced at least nearly 2000 million Lee Enfields, and now there are estimated to be nearly ten million brand new unopened Lee Enfields in British warehouses, but The British Malayan colonial troops were equipped with Martini Henry who was in the front line of the Second Boer War.

This makes people very helpless. Martini Henry is a rifle that was born in the 70s. It has been more than half a century now. Even if the British Malaya army is a second-line army, it can't make do with it.
