Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2169 Come to Life

There are so many amazing things.

Italy is not indifferent to the Dodecanese.

When the marines opened the armory of the defenders in Rhodes City, they were shocked by the mountains of military supplies in front of them.

In the last world war, Italy was victorious.

Therefore, in the past 20 years, Italy's military development has not been subject to any restrictions.

The Italians are not very good at fighting, but the military industry is actually good, and it is not that there is nothing that cannot be sold.

For example, Italy's self-produced Bijoia four-engine heavy bomber is known as the Italian version of the "air fortress".

Another example is the Italian M35 heavy howitzer, which the Germans bought in large quantities, fully proving the performance of the M35.

Another example is the "Italian Cannon" that Li Yunlong said was actually the French "Miss Seventy-Five" who was eliminated by Italy.

The reason why the Italians eliminated the French "Miss 75" is because Italy has better artillery.

In Rhodes City, the Italians hoarded about [-] tons of military supplies, but unfortunately none of them were used.

When the Marines opened the Air Force hangar, there were actually 12 brand new MC200 Thunderbolt fighter jets in the hangar, which almost scared the Marines into a cold sweat.

The intelligence work of the Italians is still okay.

Since the start of the war, the Southern African Air Force began to bombard Rhodes City indiscriminately. During this process, the Italian planes never took off, so that the Southern African Air Force believed that although Rhodes City had a field airport, Italian fighter jets were not deployed.

Since the 10th, when southern African bombers bombed Rhodes City, even the escorting fighter jets were not sent.

After all, at that time, the Southern African Air Force believed that Rhode Island had no air force.

If these twelve MC200 Thunderbolts take off at this time, the Southern African Air Force will definitely be damaged.

Colonel Marconi of the Italian Air Force had something to say about why the plane did not participate in the war.

"On the first day of the air raid, our field airfield was blown up, and the plane couldn't take off at all!"

This reason seems to be very good.

But the airport runway can be repaired if it is bombed.

"Why do you rush to repair it? Will you continue to bomb after repairing it?" Colonel Marconi was confident!

This seems to be true.

Sixth Air Force Commander Kenny Fast had nothing to say.

Colonel Marconi was the supreme commander of the Italian garrison in Rhode Island, and after the surrender, he was treated according to his status.

But Colonel Marconi didn't think so.

The difference in treatment between officers and soldiers of the Southern African Air Force is only reflected in their salaries. There is not much difference in the daily meals. Officers get what soldiers eat, and the same is true for Major General Kenny Fast.

Colonel Marconi's first lunch after his surrender was steak, braised pork with potatoes, vegetable salad, coffee and herbal tea. As a senior officer, Colonel Marconi still had a pack of cigarettes a day, so his treatment was good enough.

However, in Colonel Marconi's view, this obviously did not match his identity.

"I'm a colonel of the air force. The benefits of the air force should be higher than those of the navy and the army. I don't even have red wine for lunch. Is it plausible?" Colonel Marconi is really not picky, Italians are very good at enjoying it.

It is said that the Italian army is noodles.

Actually not.

The Italian army is not incapable of fighting, and it doesn't want to fight at all.

For the Rhode Island garrison, whether the sun and the beach are bad, or the passionate Aegean girls are not good, why waste their lives on meaningless fights?

Italians are still violent if they are cornered.

In World War II in another time and space, the British invaded the Italian mainland, and the Italians organized a counterattack without hesitation, using crude weapons to drive the British troops equipped with tanks out of Italy.

During the Soviet-German War, the Italians and Germans were also surrounded. After a month of hard fighting, the Italians broke out of the encirclement of the Russians in such a brutal way as hand-to-hand combat. Although the Eighth Army with a total strength of 6.2 finally only had 4000 People return to Italy, which still proves the explosive power of the Italian army when it is cornered.

Also in North Africa, a widely circulated joke, an Italian army wanted to surrender, but the British refused.

So the Italians defeated the British first, and then surrendered to their defeated generals.

This joke is making fun of the Italians?

Obviously making fun of the British, okay?

"Colonel, you are a prisoner now, so you must have the awareness of being a prisoner!" Kenny Fast felt as if he was humiliated. He was so particular about being a prisoner, and he was probably an Italian.

"Your cook is not good, all the good things have been ruined, let our cook show you some other day—" Colonel Marconi really didn't have the consciousness of being a prisoner, and he wasn't all bragging. I still have one.

The key is to study the spirit.

It is also World War II in another time and space. The war is not over yet. Other countries are doing their best to research new weapons, but Italians are studying how to eat fresh and delicious food on the battlefield.

So all food experts in Italy were mobilized, and the state took the lead in setting up special funds. After unremitting efforts, the freeze-drying method of food was finally invented.

After this technology was made public, the world was shocked, and then it was promoted all over the world.

It's not the time for the Italians to shock the world.

The freeze-drying method of food has appeared in southern Africa and has been promoted. The current individual food of the Allied forces includes dehydrated vegetables that have been freeze-dried.

Kenny Fast doesn't discuss cooking with Marconi.

After the Italian defenders of the Dodecanese surrendered, the Greek government actually hoped that the southern African military would return the Dodecanese to the Greek government, which made Arthur and Mike Tolan dumbfounded.

For a long time, the Dodecanese had been in the cultural circle of Greece until Greece became independent from the Ottoman Empire. The Dodecanese left the Greek cultural circle for the first time and remained in the Ottoman Empire.

After the Italian-Turkish War, the Dowel Islands were occupied by Italy, and most of the islanders were Greeks.

It is for this reason that the Greek government hopes that southern Africa can hand over the Dodecanese Islands to Greece for management.

manage!

If Arthur and Mike Tolan agree, then after the war, the Twelve Islands will naturally become the territory of Greece.

So definitely can't give it.

Not only not to give but also to warn the Greeks.

Greece is a little bit of a drift after the invasion of Albania, which is not okay.

"So, the plan to build an advanced base on Crete is postponed indefinitely, and it will not be possible to restart until Greece faces the crisis of national subjugation and extinction again—" Arthur was blunt, without saving any face.

"Honorable Lord Cyprus, of course we hope that the Cyprus squadron will be stationed in Crete, but Greece is a democratic country, we must respect the choice of the local residents of Crete, they do not want their lives to be affected by the war—" Greece Army Chief of Staff Alexander Papagos blushed. Arthur's words were a bit harsh, but Papagos had no way to refute.

Before the outbreak of the Greek War, the attitude of the Greeks was not what it is now.

The glorious victory of the Greek army in the first phase of the Greek campaign was achieved under the command of Papagos.

Papagos is a very calm person. The current actual controller of the Kingdom of Greece is not King George II of Greece, but Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas.

Metaxas was born in the army, came to power through a coup, and established a poisonous vegetable rule, Papagos said nothing.

Metaxas is now terminally ill, he has few days to live, and may die of illness at any time. His decision has completely dragged Greece into the abyss.

"Okay, of course we also respect the choices of the residents of Crete." Arthur smiled. Southern Africa is also a democratic country, so why is there not so much trouble.

At the same time as the Battle of Greece broke out, the Battle of Britain was still in progress.

Mustache believed Goering's nonsense and pinned all his hopes of defeating Britain on the Luftwaffe.

Before Southern Africa entered the war, Germany did perform very well, as evidenced by the bombing of London that lasted for dozens of days.

When Southern Africa entered the war, everything began to change.

The first is the fighter jets of the Luftwaffe, and it is getting more and more difficult to enter the British airspace.

The BF109 has been improved to the "G" version, and there is still a huge gap between the performance of the "Cheetah". Two days later, 109 ace pilots were harvested.

The reason there are only 11 is because Germany has too few fighter jets and not enough bombers.

While the "Cheetah" was protecting the British airspace, the "Sky Fortress" and "Super Sky Fortress" began to bomb military targets in the Netherlands, Belgium, and even France across the English Channel. German bombers were getting farther and farther away from London.

Because fighter jets are small and flexible, they don't have high requirements for runways, and they can take off directly on the road.

Bombers are not good. Although the weight of "Aunt Junker" is lighter than that of "Sky Fortress", it still needs a runway of nearly a thousand meters to take off smoothly. The speed of construction is always faster than construction, so after entering the war in southern Africa, there are fewer and fewer "Aunt Junkers" who bombed London at night.

Faced with increasingly heavy losses, Mustache realized clearly at this time that the air force led by Goering alone would most likely not be able to conquer Britain.

Therefore, it is still up to the army to solve the problem.

However, the English Channel is a natural obstacle in front of the German army. If Mustache wants to send the army to the UK, he must first organize more transportation forces.

So from September 9th, Germany began to gather transport ships, preparing to execute the "Sea Lion Plan" to attack the United Kingdom.

After learning the news, Tang Juan and Xu Xiu were extremely happy.

Especially Don Juan, after the First Army arrived in the British mainland, it has not even had a chance to shoot, so the officers and soldiers of the First Army joked that they did not come to fight at all, but to travel.

Now finally came to life.
