Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2199 Wasting time is punishable

Not everyone has the patience of Rock.

From An Qi and Alvin's point of view, southern Africa doesn't need to be patient at all, and it doesn't need to mobilize more troops. With the current strength of the Indian Ocean theater, it can directly invade the Japanese mainland and completely defeat Japan.

At that time, Asia, like Africa, will completely become the sphere of influence of southern Africa, and the Americans will have to accept this fact.

As the commander-in-chief of the Indian Ocean Theater, An Qi did not place the headquarters on Zheng He Island, which is more important and safer, but at Changi Naval Base, which fully proves An Qi's attitude.

"The Japanese can really bear it. Why can't Yamashita be tough?" After learning that the Japanese took the initiative to blow up the airport and docks on Kunlun Island, Alvin was very disappointed.

"Strength determines everything. If Japan's strength is superior, then the Japanese will definitely be extremely tough." An Qi has a clear understanding of the Japanese character.

"General Weaver rejected our proposal. He believes that the British army is capable of protecting British Malaya and does not need our help." Tang Li, who has been promoted to the rank of general, is proud of himself. Jackson Marshall finally retired three months ago , Tang Li succeeded Jackson Marshall as commander-in-chief of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Jackson Marshall had been ill last winter and spent four months in the hospital.

Although Jackson Marshall didn't want to miss the World War, he resigned because of lack of energy.

Rock still held on.

Jackson Marshall's physical condition did not allow him to perform high-intensity work.

Rock promoted Jackson Marshall to field marshal, and Jackson Marshall officially retired with honor.

Since Jackson Marshall joined the Southern African Navy, he has been dedicated to the commander-in-chief of the Indian Ocean Fleet and has made great contributions to the development of the Southern African Navy.

The Federal Government of Southern Africa thanked Jackson Marshall for his contribution, and the Congress specially approved 50 rand as a reward to Marshall.

Marshall also wanted to donate all 50 rand to the foundation under Phyllis' name, but was dissuaded by Rock.

As a marshal, even if Jackson Marshall retires, he still has a generous pension, so he really doesn't care about the 50 rand.

But this is not good. If Jackson Marshall donates the money, what about other people who also receive awards from Congress?
Donate, some people are definitely not willing.

Don't donate, with Jackson Marshall's jewels in front, it's greedy to take a dime--

So don't do this kind of thing.

"Wei Weier fought well against the Italians in North Africa. He probably thinks that the fighting power of the Japanese army is similar to that of the Italians." Alvin said with ridicule. In another time and space, Wei Weier was defeated by Yamashita Fufumi.

The "Malay Tiger" by Fengwen Yamashita was made by Werwell.

"Then just ignore him. If the Japanese were smart, they would not take the initiative to attack British Malaya." An Qi was not worried. Even if Werwell messed up, the Fourth Army would still have the backing.

In the current situation, as long as the Japanese are a little rational, they will not continue to attack south.

However, many things cannot be explained by common sense. After French Indochina opened its borders to Japan, the United States also began to realize that Japan’s expansion in Asia has seriously threatened the interests of the United States in Asia, so the Americans have begun to actively restrict trade with Japan.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Japan.

Japan's domestic resources are scarce, and it is only possible to expand abroad with the input of resources from the United States.

Now that the United States has begun to restrict Japan's trade, the Japanese may not even be able to build "Yamato" and "Musashi", so what the Japanese hate most now is not southern Africa, but the United States.

It seems very unreasonable to put.

It's actually quite normal.

This is the same as borrowing money. If you ask someone to borrow money, and the other party never borrows money, then there is a high probability that the relationship is only alienated, and it cannot rise to the level of hatred.

If you have always been responsive to requests, and suddenly one day you start not to borrow, then most likely turn against each other.

This is what Japan and the United States are doing now.

Rock hopes that Japan will attack the United States first, which is also based on the strength of the three parties.

In Asia, from the perspective of the number of troops, there is no doubt that Japan is the largest.

In terms of equipment, it is the strongest in Southern Africa.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet is powerful, but the army has no sense of presence. The colonial servants formed by the U.S. in the Philippines are really ineffective. They can’t even defeat the rebels on Palawan Island. These are the facts, and the Japanese know it well .

Therefore, even if Japan wants to fight a decisive battle with southern Africa, it must first eliminate the threat of the US Pacific Fleet.

The crux of the matter is that the myth of the invincibility of southern African armies—

Since the founding of Southern Africa, it has never lost any large-scale war, whether it was the last world war or the Brazilian Civil War.

The ten aircraft carriers of the Southern African Navy and nearly twenty second-tier aircraft carriers also made the Japanese terrified.

Japan is now pouring all its power, but it has not produced [-] Type Zeros.

"Should we take the initiative to create a reason——" Alvin was eager to fight. Alvin didn't get the chance to join the war in the Spanish Civil War. When the World War broke out, Alvin volunteered to join the army. When he came to Changi Naval Base, he could only fish every day. This made Alvin Very helpless.

"Don't, that will disrupt the Lord's overall deployment." An Qi calmed down, as long as she had patience, there would always be battles.

When Alvin suffered from no chance of fighting, in Greece, the Allied forces were on the verge of collapse.

The performance of the Australian army in Greece is completely different from that in North Africa.

When in North Africa, the Australian army faced the Italians with a destructive momentum, just like an adult beating a child, playing the Australian army's great reputation.

When it comes to Greece, the Aussies are turned into soft-legged prawns.

This may be a curse. During the last world war, the Anzacs suffered heavy losses in the Dardanelles. Now that bay is still called "Anzac Bay".

In Greece, the Australians fared no better, if not worse, than they had during the previous world war.

It was the [-]rd and [-]th Australian Divisions that went to Greece to assist the Greek army in combat.

Back in February, Winston sent Anthony Eden, Secretary of State for War, and John Deere, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to Greece to form a coalition of Greek troops, British troops, Australian troops, New Zealand troops, and troops from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia .

Considering that it was fighting in Greece, the coalition forces accepted Greek command.

At this time, the selfishness of the British began to cause trouble again. General Henry Maitland Wilson, who was in charge of commanding the British army, did not fully follow the deployment of the Greek side, and arranged the defense line of the British army a little bit back. As a result, the approaching The Kingdom of Yugoslavia troops in the defense area of ​​the British troops became the salient part of the entire defense line.

After the war broke out again, the area defended by the troops of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was targeted by the German-Italian allied forces. The German 7th Armored Division frantically attacked from the very beginning of the battle.

The last commander of the Seventh Armored Division was Rommel, who is now the commander of the German-Italian North African Army.

In the Battle of France, the [-]th Armored Division was invincible, known as the "Devil Division", and became the ace unit of the German army.

Mustache can send the Seventh Armored Division to assist Italy, which fully demonstrates the importance that Mustache attaches to Italy.

The Kingdom of Yugoslav forces were unable to resist, and Wilson did not provide assistance to the Yugoslav forces in time.

The Yugoslav army was routed across the board, which triggered a terrible chain reaction. Wilson commanded the troops to retreat immediately, fleeing faster than the Germans could attack.

After the Battle of France, the German [-]th Armored Division was fully reequipped, and all the tanks it is now equipped with are the most advanced German No. [-] tanks.

Before the Australian Third Division went to Greece, although it was supplemented by some tanks, it was still essentially an infantry division.

Facing the fierce offensive of the German Seventh Armored Division, the Australian Third Division lost its position, and also lost a large amount of weapons and equipment, including 32 "Biao Cavalry" produced in southern Africa.

"Biao cavalry" is the most advanced tank in Britain at present.

Because this order was facilitated by Winston, within the British army, the "Biao Cavalry" was named the "Winston" tank.

Compared with Germany's most advanced No. [-] tank, the "Biao Cavalry" not only does not fall behind, but its performance in some aspects is even more advanced.

Possessing advanced tanks, the Australian Third Division actually left all the tanks to the Germans and Italians without firing a single shot. This behavior should be regarded as an enemy.

In order to help Italy defeat Greece as soon as possible without affecting the upcoming "Barbarossa Plan", Mustache sent a powerful 12th Army to assist the Italians, including the 1st Armored Group, 40th Armored Army, and 18th Mountain Army. The 30th Infantry Corps, the 50th Infantry Corps, and the 16th Armored Division were commanded by Field Marshal William Lister.

The Germans made rapid progress.

On April 4th, the German-Italian Allied Forces launched an offensive. On the morning of the 6th, the German army sent an air force to bomb Belgrade. Then the 40th Panzer Corps broke through the Bulgarian border in two ways. The railway line between Belgrade and Thessaloniki was cut off, and the link between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Greece was severed.

On April 4, the German army broke through Fort Rupel, and the "Metaxas Line of Defense" carefully built by the Allied forces was breached, and the situation quickly collapsed beyond control.

On the 10th, the German army crossed the Lodopi Mountains, and by this time the German army had already entered Greece.

On the 15th, the German army crossed Mount Epirus, and on the 21st, the German army crossed Bandus Mountain. By the 27th, the German army had crossed the Olympus Mountains. There was no obstacle in this process.

This is really incredible. As long as the Greeks and British are a little determined to completely destroy the roads in the mountains, the Germans will not advance so smoothly.

The combat effectiveness of the Greek army is also nothing to say.

Before the war, the Greeks were stimulated by the results of the first stage and shouted the slogan of counterattacking Germany, but they were beaten in the face.

On April 4, the German-Italian coalition forces attacked, on April 6 they broke through the defense on the east bank of the Vardar River, and on April 8, the Second Greek Army surrendered.

In the first phase of the battle between Greece and Italy, the Second Greek Army showed great bravery. Not only did it drive Italy out of Greece as the main force, but it also invaded Albania in one go. Spartans.

As a result, after the German army participated in the war, the Greek army showed its true colors, and the myth was completely shattered.

While the Second Army Corps surrendered, other coalition forces were scrambling to retreat.

In fact, it is a rout.

In order to escape faster, the coalition forces discarded almost all weapons and equipment that could be discarded, not to mention heavy equipment, and soldiers even discarded their rifles at will. Still the German [-]th Armored Division.

On April 4, the British army withdrew to Thermopylae Pass, where they finally organized an effective defense.

The reason for organizing the defense is very simple. The two-legged British army must not be able to outrun the German soldiers sitting in tanks. The British army in Greece certainly could not escape the catastrophe.

How fast the German army was advancing.

After the German-Italian coalition began to attack, the 14 Greek divisions still stranded in Albania were abandoned in Albania before they even had time to retreat.

On the 18th, all 14 divisions surrendered to the Germans.

So far, all the Greek troops that have repeatedly made military exploits in the first stage of the Greek Campaign have been completely lost.

When people are pushed to a desperate situation, they will always burst out with extraordinary abilities.

During the sniper battle at Thermopylae, the 19th Regiment of Australia and the 6th Regiment of New Zealand were ordered to stick to Thermopylae and cover the retreat of the main force of the British army.

The Anzacs finally showed their courage during the last World War. They used their flesh and blood to fight against the German armored forces. They fought fiercely all day and successfully covered the retreat of the main force of the British army.

The Australian 19th Regiment and the New Zealand 6th Regiment also lost the opportunity to retreat. After holding on to Thermopylae for a day, the remnants of the Australian 19th Regiment and the New Zealand 6th Regiment also surrendered to the Germans.

So far, the whole of Greece, except Crete and Athens, has been completely occupied by the German coalition forces.

The speed with which the Allied forces collapsed was dizzying.

Stoudemire couldn't help asking Rock, is this the result of the discussion between Rock and Winston?
Rock was speechless.

During the Saar meeting, Roque and Winston decided to abandon Greece and lead Germany to attack Russia.

But Rock and Winston never expected that the Allied forces would lose so quickly.

If this continues, Greece will not be able to play a role in containing Germany. If the Germans can end the war in Greece before summer arrives, then it is hard to say whether Russia can last until winter.

On the 21st, Arthur received an urgent order from Rock that the Fifth Army must stick to Crete, at least until June, so as to delay the time for the German army to attack Russia.

The pressure was immediately transferred to Arthur's side.

Prior to this, although Greece had opened Crete to the Mediterranean theater, the Mediterranean theater did not take any action on Crete, wasting two months in vain.
