Chapter 2066

The participation of the Umbrella Company immediately aroused the vigilance of the Kingdom of Italy.

It's impossible to hide it.

Italy has invaded Abyssinia for more than half a year, and Abyssinia has never wiped out the Italian army in an organized way, not even troops of the patrol level.

After the Battle of Meqiu, the elite troops of the Abyssinian Empire had been completely lost. At this time, the Italians suffered such a large loss, so there must be external forces involved.

And the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are different from the soldiers of the Abyssinian Empire.

Both actually love money, but their understanding of wealth is different.

Umbrella Corporation cleans up the battlefield after the war, looting valuables, and even opening their mouths to see if they have gold teeth.

But only so far.

In the Abyssinian Empire, even the underwear of the corpse was taken away.

And there may be insults to the corpse.

The mercenaries of Umbrella Corporation would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing.

What's more, the intensity of the battle is also different.

Even if the Abyssinian Empire is an elite force, it is only "elite" compared to the ordinary army of the Abyssinian Empire, which is not the same concept as the "elite" of the umbrella company.

From the start of the raid to the end of the battle, the mercenaries did not spend more than half an hour including cleaning the battlefield.

If this was replaced by the elite of the Abyssinian Empire, it would probably take a whole day to destroy this patrol team.

To end the battle so neatly, in the words of Marshal Petro Badoglio: Few armies in the world can do it!

These words must be suspected of putting gold on the face of the Kingdom of Italy, but they are not far from the truth.

Marshal Petro Badoglio had fought in the World Wars and was part of the Italian delegation during the Paris Peace Conference.

Don't forget that during the World Wars, the Southern African Expeditionary Force also fought alongside the Royal Italian forces.

"Vittorio, I can guarantee with my personality that the federal government of Southern Africa absolutely did not intervene in this matter. I don't even know what happened." Sean Ferguson looked sincere. The reason why he served as Secretary of the League of Nations Executive Council Minister, and the nomination of Vittorio Rolandi Risi, Italian Ambassador Plenipotentiary to the League of Nations.

Italy's presence in the League of Nations is woefully inadequate.

However, as one of the permanent members of the League of Nations, the mood of the Italians still needs to be taken care of.

"The federal government of Southern Africa may indeed have not intervened, but what about the umbrella? Can you guarantee that the war hyenas of the umbrella company will not appear on the battlefield in North Africa?" Vittorio Richi was angry and worried. For the Italians It is not scary to say that Britain and France that practice appeasement are not terrible. What is terrible is a country like southern Africa that has great power and has resolute execution.

What made Vittorio Rich dissatisfied was that Southern Africa had no interest relationship with the Abyssinian Empire at all, and the territory did not border.

Even Britain and France acquiesced in Italy's invasion of the Abyssinian Empire, but southern Africa was obstructing it——

This is very dishonest!

Southern Africa can defeat the US-Pakistan coalition forces in Brazil with the new Brazilian government.

Doesn't Italy have the right to expand freely?
"I'm not sure if there are mercenaries from the Umbrella Company in the North African battlefield. Even if there are, it has nothing to do with the federal government of Southern Africa." Sean Ferguson was categorical.

The Umbrella Company is not an army, and its personnel structure is not static. Even registered mercenaries of the Umbrella Company have the right not to accept missions.

For example, the German mercenaries of the Umbrella Company can not accept any tasks related to Germany. The Umbrella Company cannot and will not force them.

Mercenaries have the right to quit the umbrella company at any time when they are not performing tasks, and they can also accept employment from other security companies.

So what Sean Ferguson means is that even if there are registered mercenaries of the Umbrella Company in the Abyssinian Empire, it has nothing to do with the Umbrella Company.

This explanation is a bit lame.

But very reasonable.

Vittorio Richi was almost insane.

He must also know that this is Sean Ferguson's excuse.

But in the absence of evidence, Vittorio Richi had nothing to do.

Even if there is evidence, as long as the Southern African Federal Government does not recognize it, most of the Kingdom of Italy will have nothing to do.

Lapi?
Yes, it's Raipi!

It is one of the five permanent members of the council, what is the shame——

"Let's talk, what does the Federal Government of Southern Africa want?" Vittorio Rich didn't argue with Sean Ferguson, isn't it a benefit, and the Kingdom of Italy can afford it.

"The federal government of Southern Africa has always been concerned about world peace." Sean Ferguson deserves a beating. He can say such things out of the mouth. He is not generally shameless.

It's not shameless, but it's not the time to raise conditions.

France agreed to Italy's invasion of Abyssinia in order to gain Italian support against the threat posed by German rearmament.

Britain's acquiescence was actually kidnapped by France. If Britain disagreed, France and Italy would form a stronger alliance, which would affect Britain's interests in the Mediterranean.

The status of southern Africa is detached, and there is no interest in southern Africa for the Abyssinian Empire.

However, the Federal Government of Southern Africa is very worried about the ambitions shown by the Kingdom of Italy that do not match its strength.

As one of the five permanent members of the League of Nations, Italy is currently the most unstable factor in the Mediterranean.

If the Kingdom of Italy is allowed to annex Abyssinia, who will the Kingdom of Italy's next target be?

Oh, this one goal has been achieved.

Just the day before Vittorio Interest approached Sean Ferguson for an explanation, the Italian Royal Army finally occupied Addis Ababa, and then Fat Bald couldn’t wait to announce the end of the war, and the Abyssinian Empire was formally merged into Italy kingdom.

For this result, Fat Bald is quite satisfied.

The failure of the Kingdom of Italy to invade Abyssinia last time caused the Kingdom of Italy to become the laughing stock of the entire "civilized society".

Now the Kingdom of Italy has finally recovered its shame. After annexing the Abyssinian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy’s colonies in North Africa expanded rapidly, and the fat and bald head was full of ambition.

As for the resistance forces of the Abyssinian Empire.

Under the high pressure of 50 Italian troops, Fat Bald believes that it is only a matter of time before the rebel forces are wiped out.

The only hidden danger is whether the federal government of Southern Africa will intervene.

The day after the Kingdom of Italy announced its annexation of the Abyssinian Empire, the Palace of Justice held another joint meeting of ministers. At the meeting, Roque reminded the southern African military generals to pay attention to the increasingly harsh international environment.

In the 14th year since the "Contract of Versailles" was signed, it finally faced the danger of losing control completely.

Germany in Europe.

Japan in Asia.

Mediterranean Italy.

For the current world, the threat posed by these three countries is growing.

Don't forget that the United States still refuses to recognize the new Brazilian government.

Therefore, the Brazilian civil war may break out again at any time.

Facing the increasingly severe international situation, what should Southern Africa do?
"Southern Africa must have the ability to win two intercontinental local wars at the same time. At present, the biggest hidden danger lies in Europe and Asia." Roque didn't need to call names, and the generals knew who Roque was talking about.

Just look at the military deployments in southern Africa. The Atlantic fleet and the Indian Ocean fleet are actually targeting obvious areas.

As for the Mediterranean—

It's really not that the generals in southern Africa are arrogant and arrogant. Don't look at the fat and bald heads triumphantly declaring that the Kingdom of Italy annexed Abyssinia. There will be more troubles for the Kingdom of Italy.

This is the same as Britain declaring the end of the Second Boer War. It has been two years since the complete armistice.

And the combat effectiveness of the Italian army, the generals in southern Africa really didn't care.

Regardless of how advanced the Italian army is equipped with weapons, it can be used to bully the Abyssinians.

Compared with southern Africa, the Italian army is not even a bad brother.

"The staff must formulate more plans, and your plans are not yet complete." Rock is not satisfied with the work of the staff. The current plans of the staff are all based on the basis of the last world war.

"My lord, let's say—" Martin felt guilty.

There is a division of labor within the military. The navy is in charge of Angie, the army is in charge of Patton, and the work of the staff is directly led by Martin.

"For example, have you considered whether France can withstand the German invasion if war breaks out?" Rock had to be straightforward. The generals in southern Africa also have limitations in thinking.

"Without the help of us and the UK, the French would definitely not be able to withstand it." Martin didn't look down on the French. The population of Germany is almost twice that of France. Take your head off!

"So can France last until the help of us and the United Kingdom reaches France?" Roque almost said that France would surrender directly on the 38th day of the German invasion.

"No way—" Martin couldn't believe it.

The ministers also whispered to each other.

In the last World War, before the British Expeditionary Force arrived on the battlefield, France fought back and forth with Germany.

Even if the French are even worse this time, there is still the Maginot Line that the French have invested billions of dollars in.

Regarding the Maginot Line of Defense, although many people disapprove of France's pinning its hopes on this line of defense, the strength of the Maginot Line of Defense is still recognized.

The southern African military has also done internal deduction. If the southern African army attacks the Maginot Line, then the frontal attack will also require a huge price.

This is an important reason for the formation of airborne troops in southern Africa.

"You have held so many exercises, and you should be very clear about the offensive capabilities of modern armored forces. I have reminded you many times that the biggest problem with the Maginot Line is not its strength, but that it does not cover the French-Belgian border. , don’t the Germans know?” Roquel was disappointed, the generals in southern Africa still had to work hard.
