Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2197 The Premise of Peace

The brandy produced in southern Africa is really delicious, mellow and delicious, with strong aroma and crystal clear color, which makes people love it.

If you want to get more brandy, you don't need to spend money, you just need to squeeze the indigenous soldiers of the colonial servant army to death.

For combat, Italian officers are not good at it.

But when it came to exploiting native soldiers, Italian officers were too good at it.

After returning to the camp, Verratti summoned his ten squadron leaders overnight and divided the remaining brandy into ten portions, each with a small glass.

Although the weight is small, it is precious enough in a prisoner-of-war camp where supplies are scarce.

Italians are also very talented in food, compared with the British who are good at dark cuisine, they are gourmets per capita.

The squadron leaders are all officers, so they naturally have a certain ability to judge, and they are full of praise after drinking.

"How does it taste?" Verratti asked earnestly.

"The precipitation of the years and the taste of sunshine, the perfect taste!"

"Beautiful—too bad it's so small—"

"It's a godsend to have such a small glass after a long day at work!"

The officers boasted in different ways that a small glass of brandy could make them feel the taste of heaven.

"This kind of brandy, the first brigade will have a big barrel tomorrow!" Verratti said first.

"What about us?" someone immediately asked.

"We don't have a single bottle—" Verratti's expression was extremely indignant, as if his ancestor's grave had been dug up.

"Why?"

"It's abominable!"

"This is not fair!"

The squadron leaders clamored.

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

If there is none of this, everyone can accept it. After all, they are captives and cannot ask for too much.

But the first brigade has a big barrel, but the sixth brigade doesn't even have a bottle——

unacceptable! ! !

"How can people in southern Africa do this? This is something that the most just country can do?" Danilo from Rome was extremely disappointed. The most just country is a positive image that has just been established in southern Africa in recent years.

Southern Africa has always attached great importance to cultural output.

Through various newspapers and magazines, as well as new cultural communication methods such as film, radio, and even television, Southern Africa has been striving to create an image of "the most just country" to the outside world.

It works really well.

Of all the countries nowadays, only southern Africa continues to do so, and other countries are not even aware of the influence of cultural exports, so the image of the "most just country" in southern Africa is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The method is actually very simple, that is, add a few more lines in the movie, let the protagonist and supporting actors repeat the sentence "We are the most just country in the world in southern Africa", and an excellent output effect can be achieved.

"I think it's fair. Our workload today is only half of that of the first team." Verratti must first maintain this system in order to determine his authority.

At least the authority within the sixth team.

"Compared with the first brigade, our work tasks are too heavy—"

"The soldiers are loafing, and won't go without whipping them—"

"We've got a lot of people who are already sick and they need to rest—"

The squadron leaders immediately made all kinds of excuses, no matter what they said, they were right, and others were at fault.

"Gentlemen, I have to remind you that it is not the Governor of East Africa that is in charge now, but the Second Army in Southern Africa." Verratti sneered.

The Italians also wanted to make East Africa as prosperous as Southern Africa.

It's a pity that the colonial officials in Italian East Africa, just like Verratti's gang, are unwilling to be outdone when they enjoy themselves, and have countless excuses when they work. A road less than five kilometers long can be repaired for two years. The efficiency can be imagined.

"In the past, no matter what we did, the governor would not be too demanding-now the situation is different, if we fall behind, then we will not be able to enjoy delicious brandy and mellow cigars, and the luxury of ice cream will never appear It's in our inventory."

When Verratti said ice cream, almost all the squadron leaders subconsciously licked their lips.

This is East Africa, which is dry and hot all year round, and even drinking water is very precious.

ice cream!
To tell the truth, the squadron leaders present did not dare to think about it before.

Ice cream was considered a luxury item in East Africa, even in the Italian era.

"Southern Africans only look at the results and don't listen to any reason - Danilo, you just said we've got a lot of people sick -"

Danilo nodded frantically.

The environment in North Africa is inherently harsh, and the indigenous soldiers are severely malnourished and have heavy work tasks, so it is normal to get sick.

"Two people from the first brigade died today." Verratti's expression was indifferent, what's the matter with being sick——

Danilo was dumbfounded.

Is it necessary to fight so hard?
This is work for Southern Africans.

I never saw you working so hard when you were working for the King of Italy.

"Understood, I will die of exhaustion tomorrow, and I want to get more brandy!" Danilo instantly realized that he would not die of exhaustion, but his subordinates—

Hard to say.

So the next day, the Sixth Team worked together and won the first place in the competition of the day.

The price was four deaths from the Sixth Battalion.

Not from exhaustion, but from an accident.

After all, if we have to catch up with the progress, the security measures cannot be fully guaranteed.

The next day, not only brandy and ice cream, but also Nyasaran steak appeared on the supplies list of the Sixth Battalion.

Compared with brandy and ice cream, Nyasalan steak is a real luxury. Even in Italy, it is only sold in expensive high-end restaurants. Several squadron leaders even ate Nyasalan for the first time. steak.

"In order to enjoy a rich dinner tomorrow, we have to continue to work hard—" Verratti gave chicken blood to the squadron leaders at the dining table.

"The southern Africans are too ruthless. They reap the fruits of their work, and we reap the resentment of the soldiers." Danilo drank a little too much, and it was only a few days. The indigenous soldiers looked at Danilo and the Italian officers in their eyes, Already filled with hatred.

"What does that matter? After the war is over, we all have to return to our homeland. East Africa has nothing to do with our Kingdom of Italy anymore—" Verratti is not sentimental, the important thing is to live in the present.

It really doesn't matter. While the Second Army is transforming port cities such as Mogadishu, it is also transforming the inland areas of East Africa at the same time.

In addition to the 30 colonial servants in Italian East Africa, there are also 25 Italian immigrants.

After the surrender of Italian East Africa, the Second Army announced the implementation of military control in Italian East Africa. The property of all Italian immigrants was confiscated. Italians had to go to concentration camps to live temporarily, waiting to be repatriated to Italy after the war.

It's not cruel, the Italians do it to the British too.

After Italy joined the war, it once invaded British Somalia.

After the invasion of British Somalia, although there was still British resistance in Berbera, the Italian East African colonial government couldn't wait to confiscate all the property of the British who immigrated to British Somalia, and put all the British in concentration camps.

So everything in reincarnation is preordained.

Southern Africa is just following the order of heaven.

"These Italians are really too much. They snatched all the best pastures, leaving only the wilderness to the natives. Tsk tsk tsk, the Somalis are really miserable. For decades, the population has not increased but has continued to decrease ——” Located in the former Italian East African Governor’s Palace in Mogadishu, Peng Kui from the Transvaal is compassionate.

In fact, it didn't take long for Somalia to become an Italian colony.

In 1885, Italy invaded the southern coast of Somalia, and it was not until 1925 that Italian Somalia was fully formed.

It is only 15 years since Italy belonged to Somalia and became a colony of Italy.

However, in the past 15 years, the population of Italian Somalia has dropped by about half.

Of course, there are many factors for population decline, not necessarily all being killed, it may also be migration.

After all, the migration of nomadic tribes is normal.

"It's not too much, we are not the same." Louis from Basutoland was making tea.

Both Peng Kui and Louis are civil affairs officials who have just arrived in Mogadishu.

Although the war is not over yet, Italian East Africa has been determined to be the territory of southern Africa after the war, and military management will gradually return to normal.

There are not many resources in Somalia, most of which are still undeveloped. The economy is mainly based on animal husbandry. The arable land area is about 820 million hectares. At the same time, the national forest coverage rate is about 30.00%.

After the surrender of Italian East Africa, all the land illegally occupied by Italian immigrants has been confiscated. Referring to the experience of the last world war, these lands should be allocated to the meritorious officials who participated in the world war in the form of auction after the war. nationalize.

In the 21st century of another time and space, the forest coverage rate of Somalia is only about 13.00%.

Now Somalia has not undergone predatory development, there are quite a lot of forest resources, and Somalia is also rich in fishery resources. If managed properly, the most common occupation for Somalis in the future should not be pirates.

"How can it be the same? When we expropriate land, we will at least give economic compensation to the land owner. In fact, there is no real wilderness in Africa. Even if the land of low value is cultivated by the indigenous people, it is a waste." Peng Peng Qui is a standard Great Southern Africanist.

The Federal Government of Southern Africa does not imprison the thoughts of Southern Africans.

Compared with the era of European colonial rule, southern Africa is now prosperous and prosperous, and the thinking of southern Africans has naturally undergone earth-shaking changes from before, especially for Peng Kui, the second or third generation of southern Africans to say.

Peng Kui is the third generation of southern Africans. He was born in southern Africa, received education in southern Africa, and entered the federal government after graduating from university. Because of his outstanding work performance, he was selected to Somalia and has a bright future.

Louis’ situation is similar to that of Peng Kui. He has British and French ancestry, was born in Basutoland, and received public education in southern Africa. He is more proficient in Chinese than Peng Kui.

Louis' Chinese name is Lu Yi.

"Nyasaland and Rhodesia already have plans to develop Somalia, and the federal government should also have corresponding plans." Louis was slightly dissatisfied with the federal government's slow response.

"Without the consent of the federal government, Nyasaland and Rhodesia would have no chance at all. Therefore, the plan of Nyasaland and Rhodesia itself is part of the federal government's plan to develop Somalia." Peng Kui The university studied at Nyasaland University, and he knows the consistent style of the southern African federal government better than Louis.

Rock really didn't have time to pay attention to Somalia.

Compared with the development of Somalia, how to organize southern African enterprises to expand production and meet the needs of the Allied Forces is Rock's main job.

Even during the Saar Conference, Rock maintained his focus on industrial production in Southern Africa through remote control.

In World War II in another time and space, the United States became a supplier of the Allied Forces, and its industrial scale continued to expand. At its peak, its economic aggregate accounted for about 50.00% of the world's six.

Southern Africa currently only accounts for about 40.00% of the world's total economic output, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

"Our intelligence personnel have judged that Germany will be ready to attack Russia within the next month. Is it necessary to notify Russia?" Sidney Milner is now also in charge of Brad's office.

After the failure of the "Sea Lion Project", Germany began to prepare for the "Barbarossa Project".

According to Mustache's plan, Germany must be ready to attack Russia before spring arrives. Once spring comes, Germany will launch a new war at any time.

It has now entered May, and according to the implementation of the "Barbarossa Plan", war may break out at any time.

Rock knew it was not that simple.

While Germany was preparing "Plan Barbarossa," Italy's thwarted attack on Greece was just as Germany pleaded for aid last winter.

Mustache can't ignore Fat Bald's pleading for help. Taking Greece can completely relieve Germany's worries, and the entire European continent will belong to Germany. Therefore, Mustache has sent troops to Greece, preparing to unite with Italy and launch a new attack on Greece.

"Yes, but don't expect too much. The bearded man will not trust others easily." Rock has already discussed with Winston to cause more trouble for the Germans. The bearded man is not an ally in southern Africa, but the enemy's An enemy is a friend.

The character of the bearded man is actually more suspicious than that of the mustache, so there will be a cruel purge.

Of course, Moustache is not much better, his biggest problem is fighting on two fronts—no, three fronts, and at the same time facing Russia, Britain, and southern Africa, these powerful opponents, otherwise Moustache would not be able to He took the initiative to come to the door, hoping to sign a peace agreement with the United Kingdom and southern Africa.

This is also an important reason why Roosevelt attended the Saar Conference.

The Americans were now the only link between Germany and the Allies.

The attitude of Winston and Rock is very clear. If Germany wants to restore peace, it must withdraw from France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Poland, and restore the pre-September 1939 borders. This is the premise of peace.
