Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2201 No Casualties
After the outbreak of the European War, the prestige of the League of Nations has gone from bad to worse, and now no one cares about it, and it has been completely reduced to a dispensable chicken rib.

The current Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan of the League of Nations has been replaced by the Irishman Jean Reid, and Andy Oston resigned after the outbreak of the Polish War. Neither the French nor the British are willing to serve as the Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan. Reid had no choice but to be elected.

At present, the total strength of the League of Nations forces is only 1000. Commander-in-Chief Ruiz participated in the last World War and has served in the League of Nations forces since the establishment of the League of Nations forces.

The training and morale of the League of Nations troops are still good. The equipment is a little behind due to insufficient funds, and the old Lee Enfield is still equipped.

But this is not a problem. The British army is also using Lee Enfield. Compared with light weapons, Ruiz hopes to get some advanced tanks produced in southern Africa, so that Louis will be more sure.

"Don't even think about tanks, even if there are, they won't be the most advanced. The mainland is expanding its army, Britain is expanding its army, and Free France is also expanding its army. Tanks are needed everywhere." Louis' partner also served in the League of Nations for more than 20 years. Wilson in [-] was a little depressed. The League of Nations troops now have no shortage of men, but what they lack are heavy weapons.

In the past 20 years, hundreds of thousands of southern Africans have immigrated to the Black Sea outlets including the Bosporus Strait, the Marmara Sea, and the Dardanelles. Now there are more than one million southern Africans living in this area , Ruiz can recruit more than [-] soldiers at any time as long as he wants.

After the outbreak of the European War, Prince Saeed, who had been settled in southern Africa, returned to the Asia Minor Peninsula to make a last-ditch effort to restore the Ottoman Empire.

Prince Saeed is a loyal fan of Rock.

After returning to the Asia Minor peninsula, the Germans had contacted Prince Said and promised that if Prince Said joined the Axis powers, Germany would support the restoration of the Ottoman Empire after the war.

Prince Said lived in southern Africa all year round and knew very well about southern Africa. He didn't think it was possible for Germany to win the war, so he resolutely rejected the German request.

There are also many people who sympathize with the Ottoman Empire in the Asia Minor Peninsula. Prince Said has organized four divisions of 6 people and is receiving training in the Garibaldi Peninsula.

"How about Pretoria, doesn't your lord know about our situation?" Ruiz fought hard, even if he didn't have the "Tiger" and "Leopard" styles, it would be okay to give some "Biao Cavalry".

"Procedurally, we belong to the League of Nations—" Wilson was embarrassed. He and Ruiz did not directly contact Rock's authority.

"Pedantic-who cares about the damn League of Nations now, we are Southern Africans, it's time to replace our blue helmets with the four-color camouflage of the Southern African National Defense Force!" Ruiz was very angry, since Ou When World War II broke out, the League of Nations troops never received even a penny of funding from the League of Nations.

All self-funded.

Fortunately, the Dardanelles may be the busiest strait in the world, and the League of Nations troops can barely maintain it just by collecting tolls.

Of course, it is not enough to form a powerful armored force with this toll.

Then contact Pretoria directly.

The procedure still needs to go. Louis's telegram was first sent to the Mediterranean theater and needed to be forwarded by Arthur.

"Oh, oh, the League of Nations troops, I almost forgot that we still have such a powerful army in the Balkans." Arthur was very happy that the League of Nations troops could also hold back the German army.

"So, our Mediterranean theater will soon have a servant army of our own." Mike Tolan was equally happy.

Speaking of the servant army, among the four theaters in Southern Africa, the Atlantic theater has the most servant army. Not only the Southern African Union troops, but also the Free French troops can be counted as the servant army of the First Army and the Third Army.

In the direction of the Indian Ocean theater, there are only 50 East Indian troops, which is enough to form a strong deterrent to Japan.

The situation in the Mediterranean theater is a bit worse. In the last world war, there was a servant army sent by the Sultanate of Najd. This time, Najd only paid money and no one. The Second Army and the Fifth Army led by Arthur were slightly weaker. solitary.

Now that Prince Said's troops have joined, Arthur finally has enough cannon fodder in his hands——

No, it's the servants—

No, it's the Allies!
"Even with the addition of Prince Said's 6 people, the strength is still a little insufficient to defend the mouth of the Black Sea." Feng Fulue was excited. The Second Army had been doing nothing since it occupied Italian East Africa. It has become another hot spot, and the Second Army may get a chance to participate in the war.

"It doesn't matter. General Ruiz has already organized tens of thousands of National Guards. In addition to Prince Said's 6 troops, the total strength has exceeded [-]. The offense may be a little insufficient, but the defense is still fine." Arthur is not worried. However, although the League of Nations troops lack heavy weapons, the Mediterranean theater can provide air support, which can be made up to a certain extent.

However, the support should be given, but Arthur also lacked heavy weapons, so Arthur transferred part of the heavy weapons that were originally going to Alexandria to supplement the British North African Army to the Garibaldi Peninsula.

This in turn aroused the dissatisfaction of Auchinleck, Commander-in-Chief of the British Middle East Theater.

Auchinleck has been in trouble recently. Although Rommel did not launch a new offensive, Tobruk is still besieged by the German-Italian Army. The [-] British army may be wiped out at any time. With support, the British army in Tobruk could withstand the German-Italian offensive.

After arriving in Egypt, Auchinleck took stock of the troops in his hands and tried to launch a counterattack against Rommel.

At this time, Auchinleck found sadly that after London transferred the elite troops of the North African Army to Greece, he had only six Indian divisions that were understaffed, and he could do nothing.

Not to mention the counterattack, as far as the current strength of the British army in the Middle East can hold the Suez Canal, Auchinleck is thankful.

Of course, this is also thanks to Rommel's lack of logistics, which is not enough to support a thousand-mile front, so Rommel's attack is weak.

Auchinleck is now accumulating strength.

After the defeat of the Allied forces in Greece, the remaining troops retreated to Alexandria. These troops discarded all heavy weapons during their retreat. Auchinleck urgently needed heavy weapons to restore these troops to their strength.

At this time, Arthur sent the equipment originally supplied to the British army in the Middle East to the Garibaldi Peninsula, and Auchinleck's anger can be imagined.

So the two sides began to talk with each other with telegrams.

Auchinleck asked Arthur to return the equipment belonging to the British Middle East Theater to the North African Army.

Arthur refused on the grounds that there had been no war in the British Middle East theater recently, but the Garibaldi Peninsula was facing war.

The UK has already paid for these equipment.

Auchinleck then brought the lawsuit to the Allied Forces Command and asked Rock and Winston to come forward to resolve it.

What could Rock and Winston do?

There is a real need on both sides, and both are to fight against the Germans, so they can only make peace with each other.

Rock promised that he would replenish equipment for the British North African Army as quickly as possible.

Winston promised to hand over all command of the Allied forces withdrawing to Alexandria to Auchinleck.

Both Auchinleck and Arthur were satisfied.

Ruiz and Wilson were more satisfied.

The equipment sent by Arthur not only included "Biao Cavalry" tanks and "Alligator" armored vehicles, but also a large number of artillery, including the latest 155mm heavy howitzers in southern Africa and 120mm self-propelled howitzers.

"Compared with the previous model of Biao cavalry, this batch of Biao cavalry has enhanced frontal armor, and can defend against the frontal attack of the German 500mm tank gun at a distance of 75 meters. Although the side armor and rear armor are slightly insufficient, they are different from the front Compared with the first model, it is still greatly improved, and its overall capability has surpassed the German Panzer IV, so it is absolutely no problem to use it for defense.” Chen Ping, a senior engineer of Nyasaland Heavy Industries, who arrived in Constantinople with the equipment, expressed his best wishes for the Biao cavalry tank. High hopes, coincidentally, Chen Ping himself grew up in Constantinople.

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinople was administered as a Class B mandate by the National Coalition Forces.

It was at that time that Chen Ping came to Constantinople with his family.Then he was educated in the school of the League of Nations in Constantinople. Because of his excellent grades, he went to Nyasaland University to study after graduating from high school, and then went to Nyasaland Heavy Industry to work after graduation.

Chen Ping's brother-in-law and two younger brothers were both serving in the League of Nations troops. After the outbreak of the European War, Chen Ping's older sister had gone to Cyprus, which was safer, while his father and mother remained on the farm outside Constantinople.

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, there were countless lands without owners in the Garibaldi Peninsula. The southern Africans who first immigrated to the Garibaldi Peninsula were the happiest. Each of their families acquired at least 200 acres of land, and all of them were big landowners.

Chen Ping's family has a large population, and the farm covers an area of ​​450 acres. This is a valuable asset. Chen Ping's parents vowed to live and die with the farm.

"The tank is a good tank, but the number is a bit small." Ruiz is not satisfied enough.

Chen Ping rolled his eyes covertly. The first batch of "Biao Cavalry" tanks sent to Constantinople consisted of 110 tanks, and they could form two armored regiments. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

What's more, in the future, there will be a steady stream of "big cavalry" arriving in Constantinople. Rock is not willing to use the blood of southern Africans to stop the Germans, and he is never stingy with equipment.

The same goes for the British.

So now I understand why when the British army was defeated, they first discarded all heavy weapons.

There is hope for someone.

The speed of the enemy's arrival was faster than Ruiz expected.

On May 5, a Bulgarian army crossed the line of actual control of the League of Nations forces and advanced towards the Bosporus Strait.

This force was hit head-on by the League of Nations troops and fled in haste after hundreds of casualties. The League of Nations troops suffered no casualties.

"This is a signal that more and more enemies will participate in the attack. Our troops must be prepared. All those who have participated in military training and can hold guns must all act. We are not fighting for the League of Nations , but to encircle our own homeland." Ruiz was murderous, let alone the Germans, even the Bulgarians dared to break ground on Tai Sui, and the officers and soldiers of the League of Nations were really made of mud.

In March of this year, Bulgaria had just joined the Axis powers.

In the last world war, Bulgaria paid about one-tenth of its territory and compensation equivalent to 9000 million pounds for choosing the wrong camp.

The Bulgarians accepted this result. After ceding the land, the Bulgarians paid the compensation with livestock, joined the League of Nations, and became a peace-loving country.

After the outbreak of the European War, both Germany and the United Kingdom extended olive branches to Bulgaria, but King Boris III of Bulgaria did not make a decision immediately.

From Boris III's own standpoint, Boris III tends to be neutral.

But Russia did not give the Bulgarians a chance to be neutral.

After Russia and Germany partitioned Poland, countries in southeastern Europe were in great danger. Hungary, Romania and Slovakia successively joined the "Triple Pact" last fall, and Bulgaria's situation became more and more dangerous.

In early November last year, the Russians telegraphed the Germans, insisting on bringing Bulgaria into their sphere of influence; they promised to guarantee Bulgaria's security, and even agreed to retain Bulgaria's monarchy.

The Russians also suggested that Russia and Bulgaria should sign a "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance".

This horrified Boris III.

Just last summer, Russia successively annexed Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by relying on this so-called "treaty of friendship and mutual assistance".

Boris III has relatives in Germany, and his queen is an Italian princess, so Boris III chose the Axis powers and joined the "Triple Pact" in March this year.

In the process of attacking Greece, Bulgaria did not send troops to participate in the war, so Ruiz's attack on the Bulgarians was very unexpected. In Ruiz's view, the Bulgarians had no motivation or reason to attack the Bosphorus at all.

In the "Triple-Nation Pact" or "Four-Nation Pact", Russia made no secret of its desire for the outlet of the Black Sea.

So even if Bulgaria occupies the Black Sea estuary, I am afraid it is also making wedding dresses for the Russians. Boris III should not be so stupid.

"General, Mr. Manolev has arrived—" the adjutant announced softly. Manolev was an official in the League of Nations in relegation.

Although the League of Nations is now discredited, at least as a communication channel, the League of Nations is qualified.

"Ask him to come in—" Ruiz took a moment to wait for Manolev's explanation.

"Good afternoon, General, the weather is really nice today—" Manolev started in the standard Bulgarian way.

Ruiz was expressionless, in no mood to discuss the weather with Manolev.

"General, I hope you can understand that in this ongoing war, Bulgaria has too much to do. Our destiny has never been in our own hands, so we have to do something that is not in the interests of Bulgaria, nor in line with it." It's about our friendship." Manolev said with a low profile.

Ruiz finally understood why there were no League of Nations casualties.
