Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2198
For the conditions proposed by Rock and Winston, Mustache is definitely unacceptable. The negotiation will end before it starts, and the war will continue.

What Rock didn't expect was that the Russians not only didn't take the reminder from southern Africa seriously, but instead spoke ill of each other.

For the reminder of southern Africa, the Russians responded like this: Southern Africans, just mind your own business.

Such a reply is indeed very Russian.

The bearded man probably thought that the relationship between Russia and Germany was unbreakable, so he turned a deaf ear to the reminders from southern Africa.

Then go with them.

When the time came to May, as Winston and Roque planned, the Italians, with the help of the Germans, launched another attack on the Greek army.

This time the Greeks finally couldn't stand it. Even with the support of the Australian army, the Greeks were still defeated by the powerful attack power of the German armored forces.

On May 5, the German-Italian coalition launched a counterattack against Greece from Albania.

In just three days, the German-Italian coalition forces drove the Greek army from Albania and invaded Greece.

Only then did Roque know that in the past winter, the Greeks had not made any defensive preparations. The Greek army that invaded Albania actually dreamed of continuing to attack the Italian army in Albania after the arrival of spring. Armies driven from Albania—

Rock is really speechless, he can only say that the Greeks are more profligate than the French.

"The British were a bit too much. When the Australian Third Division was in North Africa, it could advance 800 miles in half a month and captured four times as many Italians as itself. When it arrived in Greece, it faced the German attack without firing a single shot. It took the initiative to retreat. The army has been defeated across the board, even if the Australians are acting, they have to play a full set—" Martin's mentality is that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

In the first phase of the North African campaign, the Australian army did very well.

However, in Greece, the performance of the Australian army was very different from that during the North African campaign.

This is of course also related to the secret order of the British government.

The British always do.

Be careful when making allies with the British.

In some respects Britain is even inferior to Germany.

At least when Italy needs it, Germany has truly fulfilled its obligations as an ally and provided Italy with great help, even at the expense of affecting the implementation of the "Barbarossa Plan".

Of course, this is also related to Mustache's arrogance.

Mustache believes that the war against Greece can be ended within a month, so that the troops aiding Italy can still participate in the "Barbarossa Plan" without being affected.

"Our real line of defense is in Crete, and now it's all appetizers." Rock was not surprised, this kind of thing is too normal for the British.

Of course southern Africa is more extreme than Britain.

Greece, under pressure from Britain, opened Crete to southern Africa.

Southern Africa is not even as good as Britain.

Britain at least sent Australian troops into Greece to participate in operations against the German-Italian coalition forces.

Although the Cyprus Squadron and the Fifth Army have also sent troops into Greece, they are limited to Crete and have not sent a single soldier to the front line.

Of course the Greeks were very dissatisfied with this.

The reason Arthur gave was that the Federal Government of Southern Africa captured too much territory last year, and Southern Africa was unable to provide more assistance to Greece before the defense of the newly occupied areas was done.

This reply is more Russian than British.

"Since the French have transferred France's power in Asia to us, should we send the Fourth Army to attack French Indochina?" Martin's attention was still on Asia.

Vichy France was really over the top.

After opening French Indochina to the Japanese, the French and the Japanese reached a tacit agreement that Japanese troops could operate in French Indochina and use French Indochina as a springboard to threaten British Malaya and the Changi Naval Base.

The management of French Indochina is still in the charge of the French, and now French Indochina is equivalent to a dual colony of France and Japan.

Both the British government and the federal government of Southern Africa expressed great indignation at this act of Vichy France.

Although the British government is very angry, but there is no army in Asia, it is incompetent and furious.

Southern Africa has the ability to fight back. The Indian Ocean Fleet can reinforce the Changi Naval Base at any time. The Fourth Army led by Angie and the 50 East Indian Army are fully capable of taking French Indochina into their pockets.

It even has the strength to launch an attack on the Japanese mainland.

Of course, the strength of the Japanese should not be underestimated.

What Rock is worried about is that if Southern Africa goes to war with Japan, the Americans who are eyeing tigers will take advantage of it.

It will even make the French reap the benefits.

Think about it, if Southern Africa has just declared war on Japan, and French Indochina immediately electrified to join the Free France, then the magic Indochina might be like French North Africa, and the cooked duck flew again.

"The expansion of the Japanese has reached its limit, let's see how long the Americans can endure." Rock is patient, and the situation in Asia is as complicated as in Europe.

In Europe, Rock and Winston agreed that Germany should be allowed to attack Russia, and after Germany and Russia were both defeated, the Allied forces would counterattack the European continent.

Same goes for Asia.

Both the United States and Japan regard East Asia as their sphere of influence. Japan’s expansion has seriously affected the interests of the United States in East Asia. Launch an attack, but there is no obstacle.

The situation of Japan is the same as that of the United Kingdom. As an island country, the navy is the first priority for development.

The crux of the problem is that the navy cannot solve practical problems. It was only after the outbreak of the war that Japan discovered that it still had to rely on the army to conquer East Asia.

So after the war broke out, the huge combined fleet in East Asia was doing nothing like the Royal Navy——

It's not right, the Royal Navy still needs anti-submarine, and the Japanese combined fleet doesn't even have anti-submarine missions.

Japan is still trying to build "Yamato" and "Musashi" with limited resources at all costs!

Therefore, the United Fleet also needs a suitable opponent to prove the value of the United Fleet.

"If we don't strike first, Japan may raid the Changi Naval Base, probably at the same time as Germany attacks Russia." Martin worried about the security of the Changi Naval Base.

This is indeed very possible. Since a certain intelligence genius joined Brad's office, the intelligence capabilities of Brad's office have greatly improved.

In the past, Brad's office collected intelligence with the help of a powerful intelligence network.

Now that there is someone sitting in the office who can piece together intelligence with fragments of information, Brad's office has finally entered a complete body.

"Find a way to get the Japanese to attack the Pacific Fleet." Rock decided to divert the trouble, since he could reap the benefits, why bother to take the initiative.

This option is also very British.

Rock is certain that Americans are making the same choice.

The Pearl Harbor of another time and space has always been talked about by conspiracy theory holders. Many people think that the United States deliberately let Japan attack Pearl Harbor, which is why the United Fleet succeeded.

The situation in this time and space is different from another time and space.

Another space-time Changi Naval Base has no navy. The UK spent [-] million pounds to build the Changi Naval Base, but did not station a fleet at the Changi Naval Base. If necessary, the UK will deploy a fleet from the mainland to station at the Changi Naval Base.

The Changi Naval Base in this time and space has a fleet stationed there, and at the same time there is a powerful Fourth Army. If Japan sneaks into the Changi Naval Base, it will not wake up a "sleeping giant", but a "sleeping dragon".

This has to be based on the premise of a successful sneak attack.

Just when Rock and Martin were planning to guide Japan to attack the US Pacific Fleet, Kunlun Island near French Indochina, the Fourth Army under the Indian Ocean Theater, had already had actual contact with the Japanese army going south.

Con Son Island is 230 kilometers away from Saigon, with a total area of ​​75.15 square kilometers. In 1862, the French set up prisons on Con Son Island to exile those who opposed French colonization.

After Vichy France opened Indochina to Japan, Con Son Island became the preferred fulcrum for the Japanese army to attack Southeast Asia because of its excellent geographical advantages.

Last winter, a Japanese survey team landed on Conlun Island for survey.

Beginning in February, Japan began to build a field airport on Con Son Island and a simple dock that can dock small warships.

There is a huge gap between the construction capabilities of the Japanese and that of southern Africa.

In the construction of docks and airports in southern Africa, large-scale construction machinery has been used more than ten years ago. The Japanese still use the original construction method, which is inefficient and slow.

The situation on the key Con Dao is still very bad.

This island is also called "Snake Island". There are many poisonous snakes on the island, which poses a huge threat to the Japanese who land on the island.

So the first thing the Japanese did after going to the island was to set fire to the mountain.

This immediately caught Angie's attention.

On February 2, the day after the Japanese set fire to the mountain, Changi Naval Base sent a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance near Con Son Island.

The Japanese army sent planes to drive away the reconnaissance planes in southern Africa.

It should be noted that at this time, the Japanese army has been equipped with Type Zero, and its performance has been greatly improved compared with previous military aircraft.

The southern African reconnaissance plane did not get too entangled, and returned to Changi Naval Base after a detour.

Since then, the southern African reconnaissance planes have carried out reconnaissance on Con Lun Island many times. The Japanese aircraft showed restraint and did not attack the southern African reconnaissance planes.

By mid-May, the field airport built by the Japanese army on Conlun Island had been basically completed, and the simple pier could already dock warships below 5 tons. The operation at Changi Naval Base only started at this time.

"Your field airport and pier on Con Lun Island have seriously threatened the security of our Changi Naval Base, so you must completely destroy the airport and pier on Con Lun Island, otherwise our Indian Ocean Fleet will retain the right to take further actions." Colonel Harris from the Indian Ocean Fleet formally made representations to the Japanese.

"The airports and docks on Kunlun Island are for civilian use and have nothing to do with military use. Moreover, we have obtained the consent of the French government to build the airport and docks. This has nothing to do with you in southern Africa." The commander of the Japanese 25th Army Group, now still Yamashita, who has not become a "Malay Tiger", has a good attitude.

The reason why Fengwen Yamashita, another space-time, is called the "Malay Tiger" has a lot to do with the British strategy.

When Yamashita started the "Battle of Malaya", Britain was in a decisive battle with the North African Army commanded by Rommel in North Africa, and had no spare power to support British Malaya, so Yamashita's record was achieved.

This time and space is very difficult for Fengwen Yamashita. Although the 25th Army under his command is under the banner of "Army", it actually has less than 6 people. The 17-strong East Indian Army posed a threat.

This does not count the Marine Corps stationed at the Changi Naval Base, the Changi Squadron, and the Indian Ocean Fleet that can be reinforced at any time.

"I said it's related, so it is!" Colonel Harris took a tough attitude. Japan has not yet declared war on southern Africa, and An Qi needs a reason to declare war.

Although Japan has built an airport and a dock on Conlun Island, it has not stationed any troops, and it does not seem to be for military use.

However, as long as there is a need, civilian use can be converted to military use at any time. This reason is not convincing.

"Southern Africans, don't bully people too much!" Yamashita Fufumi was extremely angry, but he had to maintain 100% restraint.

There are also huge disputes within Japan regarding southern Africa and the United States.

The strength of southern Africa around the Changi Naval Base is obvious to all. The Japanese military estimated that to defeat the coalition forces in southern Africa and the East India, it would be possible to send at least fifty Class A divisions.

At the moment in 1941, a Type A division in Japan had 2 brigades under its jurisdiction, each brigade had 2 infantry regiments, and one regiment each for engineering, cavalry, artillery, and luggage, for a total of 8 regiments, plus There are 28200 non-combatants in the headquarters of the first division and the headquarters of the two brigades.

Fifty Class A divisions, with a total strength of more than 180 million people, Japan has a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the southern African army.

So it's not that Yamashita is sober.

It was the comparison of strength between southern Africa and Japan that forced Yamashita to wake up.

"If you don't completely destroy the airport and wharf on Conlun Island, then we will do it ourselves." Colonel Harris smiled. Yamashita Fufumi was right, Southern Africa is bullying you.

If you don't accept it, let's fight.

Looking at the back of Colonel Harris, Fufumi Yamashita looked coldly.

But you can't kill a Southern African just by looking at them.

Three days after Colonel Harris went to find Fufumi Yamashita, Fufumi Yamashita took the initiative to send someone to blow up the airport and pier on Kunlun Island, leaving Angel no reason or space to make excuses.

This disappointed Angie.

Although Rock wants to bring trouble to the east.

Not everyone thinks so, especially for Angie and Alvin.

Alvin returned to the army after the outbreak of the European War and is currently serving in the Fourth Army.
