Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2237

Before the United States entered the war, Roosevelt had already begun to consider the distribution of benefits after the war.

The Americas belong to the Americans, and the Americans have never given up on this point. Therefore, Brazil, which has joined the Southern African Union, has become a thorn in the side of the United States.

After joining the Southern African Union, Brazil's economy began to grow rapidly.

On the one hand, this is due to the Brazilian government’s rational use and exploitation of resources. On the other hand, it is thanks to the outbreak of war. Compared with two years ago, the price of industrial raw materials has been rising all the way. Brazil, as a pure resource exporter, has benefited from it huge.

In Brazil now, the urban reconstruction work including Rio de Janeiro has been completed long ago, with complete urban supporting facilities, green parks, wide roads, and neat residential areas everywhere, bursting with vitality everywhere.

The power of role models is infinite. Neighboring countries can see the changes in Brazil. Many South American countries are considering following Brazil in joining the Southern African Union. This is unacceptable to the United States anyway.

In order to subvert the colonial rule of European countries in South America, the Americans have worked hard for more than 100 years.

Now it's time to blossom and bear fruit, but southern Africa has emerged, and Roosevelt's anxiety can be imagined.

"Your Excellency, the Southern African Union does not need to accept a second South American country, but countries that have joined the Southern African Union are protected by the Southern African Union." Rock will not learn from the British and French, and will not abandon Brazil.

If the United Kingdom and France protect Poland at all costs when Germany breaks the contract and attacks Poland, it may be possible to prevent the proliferation of mustache's ambitions.

The same goes for the Southern African Union.

If Roque abandons Brazil in order to win the United States to join the allies, then the other alliance countries will be cold-hearted. Even if they dare not do anything due to the national strength of southern Africa, the rift has already formed.

What's more, Brazil has abundant resources and is not a dispensable country.

"Locke, on the issue of Brazil, the United States and southern Africa have had serious differences. We must understand each other, so that we can cooperate closely and defeat our common enemy." Roosevelt's words implied threats.

Although the United States is now infinitely close to joining the Allies, it is still possible to join the Axis Powers. The United States may change its position at any time out of its own interests.

That's why Roosevelt came to Moscow.

Roosevelt wanted to confirm whether it was possible for Russia to persist.

It doesn't take long, as long as it can last until next spring, or even hold Moscow, the possibility of Russia's final victory will be greatly increased.

If Russia is defeated.

Then there is no doubt that the United States will join the Axis powers without hesitation. At that time, it will be impossible for Britain to move its capital to Canada. I am afraid it can only go to Australia or India.

"It is because we have a common enemy that I promise that southern Africa will not accept a second application for joining." Rock does not want to push the United States into the Axis powers, which depends on how determined the Americans are.

It can be said that the only shortcoming of the current Axis powers is industrial strength.

Don’t look at all kinds of hand-wrecking devils on TV. In reality, devils are very powerful. In the later stage of the Pacific War in another time and space, when the United States had such a big advantage, nearly 2 people took Iwo Jima with casualties. When it came time to fight Okinawa, In order to wipe out the 8 Japanese troops on the island, he paid the price of [-] casualties.

It is for this reason that the United States did not launch a ground attack on the Japanese mainland.

It is not that the Americans do not want to attack the Japanese mainland. At the end of World War II, the United States formulated the "Decline Action" to attack the Japanese mainland. Referring to the results of the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa, it is estimated that the US military casualties may reach 200 million. This plan was not finally implemented.

Germany is stronger than Japan.

Had the Axis powers had had the industrial might of the United States, the war could have lasted a decade, if not decades.

So if the United States insists, Roque will agree to Roosevelt's request.

But the United States will not achieve its ultimate goal, because Roque still has back hands.

"After the end of the last world war, the United States gave up its due interests and returned to America. This time the United States will not make the same mistake." Roosevelt's words were full of meaning.

"I also hope so. The United States should play a greater role in international affairs." Rock also made a pun.

After the end of the last world war, the United States did not have the ability to change the international structure, so the United States did not even join the League of Nations.

Now that France has surrendered, even if the Allied forces win the final victory, France will never return.

The United Kingdom is hard to protect itself. It is not that Winston does not want to support Russia, but he really cannot afford it. The United Kingdom has lost its ability to lead the world.

Obviously, the future world belongs to the United States and southern Africa.

At least that's how it seemed to Roosevelt.

Roosevelt didn't even think about Russia.

This is also normal. If there are no accidents, Russia will also be severely damaged after the war, and will be unable to export to the outside world at all.

Roque kept Brazil in the Southern African Union, but was willing to share future world leadership with the United States.

Roosevelt was still very satisfied.

The US didn't get a whole South America, but it got something more important.

Entering October, the Battle of Moscow broke out. This may be the largest and most intense battle in human history. The two warring parties have invested more than 300 million troops, and this number will soon exceed 450 million.

At the same time as the Battle of Moscow broke out, the situation in the Far East became increasingly tense.

After French Indochina opened its borders to Japan, Japan has accumulated more than 25 troops in French Indochina, most of which are elite troops with rich combat experience, including the notorious Fifth Division.

The Fifth Division is one of the earliest seven divisions in Japan. It is the absolute main force. It participated in the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War and one of the participants in the Nanjing Massacre. Last year, the Japanese army formed four mechanized divisions. The Fifth Division Group is one of them.

The Fifth Division was the first Japanese army stationed in French Indochina, which fully proved the importance the Japanese army attached to the British army.

After French Indochina opened its borders to Japan, the British army strengthened its defenses and built a defense line on the border between British Malaya and French Indochina, known as the "Little Maginot Line of Defense".

The real Maginot Line did not play its due role in the French campaign.

From the perspective of the Fifth Division, the "Little Maginot Line", like the real Maginot Line, could not stop the advance of the Japanese army.

The defense force of the "Little Maginot Line" is the British and Indian Third Army, with a total strength of 23000.

The Third Army has two divisions. According to the establishment of the British and Indian troops, the Third Army should have 30000 people.

However, it is regrettable that the Third Army has never been fully staffed, and the number of troops actually deployed in the "Little Maginot Line" is only 6000, which is a huge gap compared with the 25000 troops of the Fifth Division.

As one of the few armored divisions in Japan, the Fifth Division is equipped with only 200 tanks, of which the largest tonnage is the 97 medium tank, with a total combat weight of 15 tons and a crew of four.

Even in the UK, 15 tons can only be regarded as a light tank.

After receiving assistance from Southern Africa, the United Kingdom sent some Matilda 1 tanks to the Far East to participate in the war. The combat weight of this tank is only 11 tons, the crew is two, and the main weapon is a 12.7mm machine gun.

The 12.7mm machine gun was replaced after it came to the Far East. The previous Type 1 tank was equipped with a 7.7mm machine gun with weaker firepower.

It is not that the UK does not have stronger tanks. The "Matilda" Type 2 tank has a combat weight of 26.9 tons, a crew of 4, a vehicle length of 5.61 meters, a vehicle width of 2.56 meters, and a vehicle height of 2.44 meters, which is larger than the Type 1 tank. A lot, and it was equipped with a 40mm tank gun, which was already a medium tank by British standards.

Type 1 tanks don't even mention the British, even the Japanese look down on them.

Therefore, Ichiro Miura, who just graduated from the Imperial Army University, is very confident in breaking through the so-called "Little Maginot Line of Defense".

Looking at the Type 1 tank opposite, Ichiro Miura sneered.

The mighty British Empire has also fallen to where it is today, and victory is just around the corner.

For the Japanese army, the British and Indian troops are not worth mentioning. What really deserves attention is the southern African army.

"So our short-term goals are Malaya and the Philippines, and minimize the chance of fighting the southern African army head-on." Kei Miyamoto, who also graduated from the Imperial Army University, but served a year earlier than Ichiro Miura, was more cautious.

"The southern Africans are nothing to be afraid of. Their army is too extravagant. They are just a group of young soldiers. They are not prepared to face difficulties at all. I am afraid that our soldiers have not yet rushed to the positions of the southern African army with bayonets. Southern African People just ran away—” Ichiro Miura was brainwashed by the propaganda in Japan and looked down on the southern African army.

After the war broke out, all countries strengthened their domestic propaganda, and they must vilify and slander the enemy in various ways. The same is true in Japan. The focus of propaganda is on southern Africa and the United States.

Everyone knows that the industrial strength of southern Africa and the United States is strong enough.

Japan's industrial base is weak, so the focus of propaganda is on the spirit. Even the "Times" recognizes the strength of the Japanese Army, and Japanese domestic newspapers, needless to say, are all kinds of exaggerated praises.

One thing to explain is that since the Meiji Restoration, although Japan has had smooth sailing on the battlefield, the lives of civilians in Japan have not improved much. The indemnities obtained in Japan’s previous wars have been used to develop the military, and seldom invested in the field of people’s livelihood.

So for the Japanese, after joining the army, at least they can have a full stomach, and they can still eat meat every now and then, which is indeed a good job.

For Southern Africans and Americans, joining the military was an absolute disaster.

Leaving aside the United States, southern Africa has long realized the lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs, and various advanced and developed local life conveniences, which are praised by newspapers as heaven. Therefore, in the reports of the Japanese media, the fighting will of the soldiers in southern Africa will be reflected. It has become the biggest shortcoming of the southern African army.

This kind of propaganda strategy is also to stimulate the fighting will of Japanese soldiers.

Want to live like a Southern African?

Use your courage and bayonet to get it!

"Don't underestimate the southern Africans. They are indeed pampered, but they pay more attention to honor." Kei Miyamoto did not dare to be careless.

The Japanese used to think of the British in the same way.

As a result, during the First World War, a purely British force lined up to charge the German positions on the Somme River, causing [-] casualties in one day.

The same goes for Southern Africans.

During the Brazilian Civil War, it was countless pampered southern Africans who went to Brazil with righteous ideals and fought bravely under relatively disadvantaged conditions, which led to the final victory of the Brazilian coalition forces.

The southern African armies in the Far East were not short of courage either.

"Miyamoto-kun, you shouldn't beautify our opponents. Southern Africans are rubbish. They don't deserve to own such a beautiful and rich land in southern Africa. We will definitely be able to replace them." Ichiro Miura probably thought that Kei Miyamoto gave up before fighting, very dissatisfied.

Southern African movies are popular all over the world, and Japan is no exception, so the Japanese are no strangers to the life of southern Africans.

It cannot be said that the Japanese do not work hard.

The problem is that the gap cannot be made up with hard work. Southern Africa has cheap and high-quality iron ore, a nearly unlimited supply of oil, and all the resources needed for industrial development.

Compared with southern Africa, Japan has nothing but spiritual will.

The development of industry also requires resources.

Japan's current domestic oil reserves are only 60 tons, while Japan's current annual oil demand is 550 million tons.

As for the poor 60 tons, all of them were purchased from the United States.

So the United States threatened to cut off the supply of oil to Japan. Guess whether Japan hates southern Africa, which has never sold oil to Japan, or hates the Americans who are "seeking profit and forgetting righteousness" more?
"I'm glad you have a strong aggressiveness, but if you despise the southern Africans on the battlefield because of this, you will definitely regret it." Kei Miyamoto turned and left with a sneer.

Beside Kei Miyamoto and Ichiro Miura, some Japanese soldiers were busy cleaning the Type 97 medium tanks that had just undergone training, some Japanese soldiers were resting, and some Japanese soldiers were chatting. The content of their chatting was after the capture of Changi Naval Base , how to punish those captured southern Africans.

On the "Little Maginot Line" not far away, the big soldiers from India were "working". Some of them were playing cards, some were eating, and more people were sleeping, even the sentries were dozing off.

Farther away at the Changi Naval Base, a naval transport ship has just docked, and a [-]-ton "Leopard" tank is hoisted onto the pier through a huge gantry crane. In order to protect the pier facilities, the tracks of these tanks are equipped with Put on the rubber tracks and line up neatly on the pier.

A team of marines is queuing up to board a landing craft. Recently, the marines have strengthened their training in beach landing. Southern Africa has produced 1500 such landing craft in just two months. If necessary, Production speed can also be faster.

At the field airfield next to the pier, the pilots of the 22nd Strategic Bomber Corps are meeting. If war breaks out, their goal is to bomb the Japanese airfield and barracks in Saigon.

Regardless of the port, the task of attacking the port is the responsibility of the Indian Ocean Fleet and Changi Squadron.
