Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2153 regiment
It is not so easy to defeat the Italians. After the outbreak of the European War, Italy's troops in North and East Africa expanded rapidly. East Africa had nearly 20 troops, and North Africa's troops expanded to 30.

The fat bald head's attention was not on Berbera, but on the Mahdi Kingdom between the Italian North African colony and the East African colony.

In 1885, Sultan Mahdi revolted and established the Mahdi Kingdom.

In 1899, the Mahdi Kingdom became a joint administration of Britain and Egypt.

If the Mahdi Kingdom is occupied, the Italian North African colony and the East African colony will be connected together, and the entire northern part of Africa will become an Italian colony.

While attacking British Somalia, the Italians were hoarding troops around the Mahdi Kingdom, and when the time came, they would attack the Mahdi Kingdom.

Winston also realized that the Mahdi Kingdom was in danger, so after France stopped resisting, Winston called Rock, hoping that southern Africa could send troops to assist the Mahdi Kingdom and the British East African colonies in defense.

The Mahdi Kingdom is the future Sudan and South Sudan.

The British East African colony is the future Kenya.

It is said to be assistance, but in fact the total number of British troops in the Mahdi Kingdom and British East Africa is less than 1. If southern Africa participates in the war, it must be dominated by southern Africa.

When the Abyssinian rebels found the umbrella, the Second Army stationed in northern Victoria was ready to enter the Mahdi Kingdom at any time and prepare to fight the British East African colonies.

There are seven divisions under the Second Army, mainly the two armored divisions of the Second Armored Army. The remaining 9th and 11th divisions are mainly composed of southern Africans. The 42nd and 43rd divisions are from the Kingdom of Congo, and the 47th division is from Congo. The Republic has a total force of nearly 14.

Compared with Italy's troops in Africa, although the Second Army has fewer troops, its combat effectiveness is not the same.

The Italian troops in North and East Africa are mainly colonial servants, with backward equipment, insufficient training, and low morale.

The Second Armored Army, the main force of the Second Army, was formed with the Northern Division of Rhodesia as the core and expanded before the outbreak of the European War. The entire Second Armored Army has 650 tanks, all of which are the most advanced "tiger tanks". "Type tanks and "Leopard" tanks, Feng Fu, the commander of the Second Army, is very confident that as long as the order is given, the Second Army will drive the Italians out of Africa in the shortest possible time.

Since the start of Operation Sickle, Feng Fu has ordered the Second Army to prepare for combat and be ready to fight in Europe at any time.

The troops originally scheduled to go to Europe to fight were the First Army led by Don Juan.

It's a pity that the French surrendered too quickly. Before the First Army had time to go to Europe, France stopped resisting, and the Second Army also lost the opportunity to fight in Europe.

only temporarily lost.

After the fighting in Africa is over, the southern African army will definitely land in Europe, and there will be a chance then.

Condela, a small town in northern Victoria, was where Feng Fu was stationed after the establishment of the Second Army.

Kondra is small in size, with a resident population of less than 3000. The Second Armored Army, the 9th Division, and the 11th Division, the main force of the Second Army, are all stationed in Kondra, with a total force of nearly 9. into a military city.

"The Mahdi Kingdom has a vast area and a sparse population. After we entered the Mahdi Kingdom, it was difficult to obtain supplies. Although the rainy season has passed, the temperature in the Mahdi Kingdom is still much higher than that in southern Africa. The water in the Nile River is hot. This is a huge test for our armored forces." Liandel, the chief of staff of the Second Army, also participated in the last World War, with a cautious personality and rich experience, which complemented Feng Fu's cooperation.

The Mahdi Kingdom has not yet been divided. Its land area is about 250 million square kilometers, extending from northern Victoria to the coast of the Red Sea, all of which are the territory of the Mahdi Kingdom.

The Mahdi Kingdom has a hot climate. The capital, Khartoum, is known as the "stove of the world". The annual average temperature is above [-] degrees. In summer, the daytime temperature is generally above [-] degrees, and the surface temperature exceeds [-] degrees.

Such hot weather is extremely unfriendly to the armored soldiers in the tank.

During the years when the British ruled the Mahdi Kingdom, the Mahdi Kingdom had hardly developed. The traffic conditions in the territory were very bad, and even a decent road could not be found. This was also a huge test for the Second Army with many vehicles.

"The climate is a test for us, and it is the same for the Italians. The Italians lack mobility. There are only a few tanks with backward technology in North and East Africa. We can also call the air force to replenish them. The Italians are more difficult than us. More." Feng Fu had great confidence in the Second Army, and he was not worried about the Italians, but the Germans.

After France surrendered, Mustache looked around and couldn't find any opponents, so he continued to expand either north or south.

Maozi in the north is not easy to mess with.

Crossing the Mediterranean Sea to the south is North Africa. If Italy loses in North Africa, the Germans will definitely send troops to reinforce it.

Then the Second Army would have a chance to fight the Germans.

After the outbreak of the European War, the Germans performed so well that the generals in southern Africa had long been itchy and wanted to try how strong the Germans were.

Don't look at the Germans' fancy tactics, "blitzkrieg" and "three-dimensional warfare" and so on, which made the Allies dizzy.

These tactics were played in southern Africa. During the Brazilian Civil War, both blitzkrieg and three-dimensional warfare were actually used, and the effect was very good.

Compared with the Southern African National Defense Forces, the Michigan Army in the Brazilian Civil War was also poorly equipped, and that was enough to defeat the US-Pakistan Allied Forces. Now that the Southern African National Defense Forces are on the field, there is no reason why they cannot beat the Germans.

"The rebel army in Abyssinia can cooperate with us to fight and cause more trouble for the Italians." Liandel tried to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

There are bound to be casualties in war.

Better to die an Abyssinian than a Southern African.

"The British Mediterranean Fleet has already blocked the Suez Canal, so let's attack Italian East Africa first." Feng Fu is confident, and the fat and bald head is so anxious to connect North Africa and East Africa. The enclave cannot get timely reinforcements from the mainland.

The situation in North Africa is now also complicated.

After Italian East Africa launched an attack on British Somalia, Berbera was isolated and surrounded by Italians.

Outside the encirclement of the Italians, the Mahdi Kingdom cut off Italian East Africa and North Africa. After the British blocked the Suez Canal, Italian ships could not pass through. The connection between Italian East Africa and Italy has been completely severed.

The base of Italian rule in Italian East Africa was weak.

Like the United Kingdom, Italy also implements a single colonial economy in East Africa. Italian East Africa cannot be self-sufficient and cannot even manufacture bullets. Therefore, as long as the Mahdi Kingdom is defended, Italian East Africa will run out of ammunition and food sooner or later.

The United Kingdom is now sending reinforcements to Egypt. An Australian division and a New Zealand division have arrived in Egypt. Both divisions are understaffed, and the total strength is less than 2.

This shows how weak the British Empire is now.

It has been more than a year since the European War broke out. Winston must be annoyed that Australia only sent one division.

In the entire Commonwealth of Nations, it is India that remembers whether to eat or not to fight.

During the last world war, Britain promised to raise India's low position after the war, so India sent 200 million people to Europe to fight.

After the outbreak of the European War, London promised again that as long as India can go all out as it did in the last world war, then after the end of the world war, Britain will really improve India's status, at least it is a dominion.

The Indians who were on a hunger strike rejoiced after receiving London's promise. The Governor-General in India recruited 100 million troops in just one month and sent them to Europe in batches to fight.

Training is impossible to train.

Anyway, Indians can afford to die.

The Governor-General in India also had a good idea, and it would be better to use war as a substitute for training.

So Winston was very busy at the time.

One million troops is a great supplement to the unprecedentedly weak British Empire. At least after the Indians joined, the paper data of the Allied Forces looks much better in an instant.

However, to arm these 100 million troops, the money spent is not a small amount.

Fortunately, Winston was well prepared.

During the last world war, Winston already had a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Indian army.

Therefore, Indians do not need to be armed at all. These 100 million people are actually 100 million coolies for the United Kingdom.

Coolies don't need equipment, as long as they can work.

While Feng Fu was planning to deal a fatal blow to the Italians, Berbera was strengthening his defense.

Sandy Jerry wasn't too worried about Berbera's safety.

Regardless of the aggressiveness of the Italians, although Berbera has been surrounded by the Italians, it can still obtain supplies by sea.

During the recent period, various supply resources have continuously arrived in Berbera, and the Italians have been unable to attack for a long time, and the British War Department has seen another opportunity.

On August 8, a British army of only 15 arrived in Berbera. Major Smith Wesson, who led the force, demanded command of all the troops in Berbera after arriving in Berbera.

Sandy Jerry is not a mercenary of the umbrella company, but the commander of the southern African fleet in Berbera. Sandy Jerry himself has the rank of colonel.

According to the sequence of operations, it should be the troops led by Major Smith Wesson under the command of Sandy Jerry.

But Major Smith & Wesson didn't think so.

Major Smith & Wesson insisted that since Southern Africa had not joined the war, Major Smith & Wesson should take over the defense of Berbera.

Sandy Jerry was not used to the stink of the British. After learning of Major Smith & Wesson's request, Sandy Jerry refused to meet with Major Smith & Wesson, and did not give the British a chance at all.
