Chapter 2350

Molotov's report must have been mixed with a lot of water. The allies estimate that in the Volgograd battle, the German casualties should be around 150 million, and Russia's 300 million.

It is also understandable that the Allied forces will actually inject water when releasing the battle report.

Since the outbreak of World War II, if you add up the number of German casualties in all battles, the Germans have now died on average once.

According to the propaganda of Free France, Germany lost 27 people in the French campaign, which is ten times the real number.

Roque could understand Molotov's mood for assistance.

But exaggerating the record of the Russian army and setting off the North African Allied forces as mentally retarded would be too unfair.

"Since the outbreak of the war, we have lost 2000 million people. The great Russia has withstood all the attacks of the German army. The battle has never been more intense. We are advancing one after another—" Molotov is still very well prepared. His number should be real.

Data falsification is also a technical job. Reporting too many losses will damage morale, and it will also make your own army too incompetent.

The lack of reports is not tragic enough, and when they ask for help, they are not confident and strong, and the weight is not enough.

A certain actor stretched out his hand for alms everywhere with a big face. Russians can't do this kind of thing.

Of course, the 2000 million people here are not all soldiers, but civilians should also be included.

Leaving aside other places, St. Petersburg, which has been besieged for two and a half years, has had 100 million civilian casualties, not counting Russian soldiers.

It has been more than two and a half years since the Siege of St. Petersburg broke out on September 1941, 9.

For nearly 900 days and nights, the Russians did not flinch in the face of the crazy German attack, and blocked the German army from the city with a fearless fighting spirit. Razed to the ground.

The Russians will never give in, even if they fight to the last person, they will never surrender, which is in stark contrast to the French.

So some countries are best at talking loudly, while others don't talk too much.

It's useless to shout loudly, just wait and see.

At the beginning of this year, the Russians began to counterattack, concentrating 2000 artillery pieces on the German positions in the Schlüsselburg area for 2 hours of heavy artillery fire.

Subsequently, the Russian 61st Army and the 2nd Assault Army launched ground attacks on the German army from the north and the south.

After seven days of fierce fighting, the Russian army successfully penetrated the German positions, thus breaking through the 7-month siege of St. Petersburg by the German army.

Breaking the encirclement does not mean the end of the war. There are still a large number of German troops around St. Petersburg, and the Russians are preparing for a new offensive, which is likely to be another battle of annihilation.

Mustache is crazy now, and he doesn't listen to any suggestions. Even if the front-line German army is facing an extremely unfavorable situation, Mustache will not allow the German army to retreat. This is the case in Volgograd, and the same is true in North Africa.

"Russia has made outstanding contributions to defeating the Axis powers. More than 90.00% of the Axis powers were wiped out in Russia. It can be said that Russia has reserved the fire for the fire of civilization all over the world—" Molotov boasted, he rarely experienced such a big scene.

Don't laugh, it's true.

Russia has been excluded from the mainstream society for too long. The top newspapers in Europe rarely publish news about Russia, and even if they do, it is mostly negative news.

The Casablanca Conference was the largest conference on the side of the Allied Forces since the outbreak of World War II. Major newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and television stations all over the world sent reporting teams to Casablanca. There are now nearly 300 reporters at the press conference. This opportunity must not be missed.

Molotov's character, like the beard, is a bit overjoyed.

Such a good opportunity must be boasted.

"This guy blows too much, have we given him too much time?" Winston is too fat, and sitting for a long time affects his health.

The point is that several prime ministers, presidents, and commanders-in-chief are serving as background boards for Molotov, and the time for the press conference is limited. If Molotov takes up such a long time, other people's time will have to be compressed.

Too much.

"It's rare for Russians to have a chance to show off, so don't be in a hurry." Rock was not angry. No matter how much Molotov said, it was useless, and it was probably just a piece of tofu in the newspaper.

This is the benefit of controlling the right to speak.

Russia's contribution in World War II was indeed great, which is obvious to all.

But in a few decades, the Americans will be able to turn black and white and wipe out Russia's contribution in World War II.

It's the same in other countries. You can rely on you for everything that is obviously nothing. It's useless not to admit it. Even if you explain it, someone has to be willing to listen.

Don't explain.

Not even given a chance to argue.

Now the mainstream media in various countries are basically controlled by capital. It doesn’t matter what the reporter said in the newspaper, and the editor-in-chief and the capital behind the editor-in-chief must agree to publish it.

The press conference lasted two hours, and Molotov took up half an hour alone, and the time for Rock, Winston, and Roosevelt was shortened to varying degrees.

Winston's speech was very brief, and he avoided the reporter's questions throughout the entire process, and kept silent about the second battlefield and assistance to the Russian battlefield.

Roosevelt was enthusiastic. He was very good at dealing with reporters. He was known as the US president who was best at dealing with reporters. Otherwise, he could have been re-elected for four terms.

"The United States will open up a second battlefield in the shortest possible time, and now there are plans, but please forgive me for not being able to elaborate - we will also increase assistance to Russia, whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment or strategic forces In the future, we will do our best to share the pressure on the Russian battlefield—” Roosevelt will be very talkative and comprehensive.

"—We are fighting in East Asia and North Africa, as well as the European continent and the evil forces of the Axis countries. I believe that victory will eventually belong to us. The Germans, Italians, and Japanese must surrender unconditionally and accept justice!" Roosevelt was impassioned. This was the first time that the leader of the Allied Powers had formally proposed the standard of "unconditional surrender" in public.

Unconditional surrender refers to the surrender of the defeated country to the victorious country without reservations.

Before that, including the First World War, the surrender of the defeated countries was all negotiated.

In the last world war, although the German negotiating delegation was under house arrest and had no chance to participate in the negotiations at all, the "Versailles Peace Treaty" still saved some face for the Germans, such as the [-] Wehrmacht.

Unconditional surrender does not require negotiation, and the defeated country must honestly let the victorious country handle it. The only thing that can be done is to sign the "Treaty", and no demands can be made.

"Will this be too harsh?" Winston whispered to Rock again. Roosevelt must have not communicated with Winston before.

"No, we must completely end the possibility of war breaking out this time." Roque agrees, let alone Germany and Italy, Japan must surrender unconditionally, and it is the kind that even the Self-Defense Force cannot retain.

It’s best to hand over law and order to the umbrella company. The only offensive weapon that can be kept in Japan is a kitchen knife.

In another time and space, Japan's gradual loosening is the result of regional balance under the confrontation between the United States and Russia. The United States needs Japan to have a certain attack capability, so that Japan can better serve the interests of the United States.

Don't think about this time and space, the Japanese can only be obedient citizens, and southern Africa will not give Japan any chance.

As for whether the war can be completely ended, Roque can only say so whether it can or not.

Roosevelt's speech didn't last too long, and the next thing was Rock time.

"Lord Nyasaland, more than [-] civilians died in the war when the Allied forces in the Far East regained Saigon. What do you think of this?" The first question was posed by a French reporter. It has the name of the newspaper on it, and the color is different, so it is easy to recognize.

This question is very acute.

Angie bombed Saigon in the same way that the Germans attacked St. Petersburg.

The fighting will of the Japanese is much worse than that of the Russians. It was also a siege. The Russians persisted for two and a half years, but the Japanese lasted for two months, and their entire army was wiped out.

Of course, this is also related to the huge gap in equipment. The Germans have tanks, and the Russians also have them. Although the German technology is advanced, it has not yet reached the point where it is inferior.

The Japanese army defending Saigon had no armored troops, few artillery pieces, and no air support. It would be good if they could hold out for two months.

"More than 100 million civilians have died in St. Petersburg. You should ask the Germans this question." Rock didn't answer directly, and any answer would be wrong.

Many French people stubbornly believe that Saigon is the Saigon of France, and the Allied forces should exercise restraint when fighting, and should not be as unscrupulous as fighting in the enemy's territory.

St. Petersburg is a city in Russia. The citizens of St. Petersburg are all Russians. The Germans must have no scruples. Everything depends on victory.

Saigon is the capital of French Indochina, and the people living there are all French in name. Angel's doing so will definitely arouse the opposition of the French.

"Shouldn't soldiers protect civilians when they are fighting? The southern African army has always regarded itself as righteous. The Saigon people expect the Allied Forces to rescue them from the brutal Japanese rule. They must not have thought that the Allied Forces are stronger than the Japanese. Cruel—" The reporter probably has relatives in Saigon, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.

These are not normal questions anymore, and there are strong emotions to vent.

Immediately, two Secret Service officers of the Palace of Justice in black suits came to the reporter and politely asked the reporter to leave the scene and not disturb the order of the scene.

"I am a reporter, and I have the right to interview—" the reporter struggled desperately.

The secret service personnel were rude, and carried the man away with their hands upside down. The surrounding reporters were busy taking pictures. This is a rare big news.

Rock watched coldly, not intending to stop the Secret Service personnel.

Some people are always confused about the situation. Since the outbreak of the World War, the Katyn Forest massacre, the Bataan Death March, and all kinds of appalling atrocities in the German prisoner-of-war camps have not been reported. It's not an attitude of engaging in news, it's simply an act of espionage.

Rock waited for the reporter to be dragged away before speaking.

"When the Far East Allied Forces surrounded Saigon, they allowed time for the civilians to evacuate the city. The reason why the civilians did not evacuate was that the Japanese stopped them. The Japanese tried to use the civilians as human shields to prevent the Allied forces from attacking— "Rock's voice was low, and the reporters were silent, truly feeling the cruelty of war.

"——I hope everyone can understand that this is a war that determines the fate of all mankind, victory or death, there is no third choice, Saigon citizens have countless opportunities to flee Saigon, but they did not do so, this is not a shirk of responsibility , but everyone must pay the price for their own choices." Rock is really not throwing the blame, this is also for Jiro.

Didn't Jiro want to go back to French Indochina?

This is wishful thinking.

Since France has stopped resisting, it has to accept the price of stopping resistance. Otherwise, everyone will be like the French, raising their hands to surrender and betting on both ends. Then how to protect the interests of those allies who are determined to fight ?

There are some things that Rock can't say too bluntly.

In the last world war, Italy jumped repeatedly and finally succeeded in gaining the status of a victorious country, no different from Britain, France, and southern Africa that paid a huge price.

This is clearly unfair.

The fact that the French surrendered so happily this time was also influenced by the Italians.

Since Italy can jump repeatedly without any punishment, why should France take the risk of losing a generation and fight the Germans to the end.

If this momentum is not resolutely stopped, what if the Russians follow suit?
Although this possibility is not high, it is not impossible.

"My lord, the battle in North Africa is over, what's the next battle plan for Southern Africa?" Finally, someone asked a reliable question, so that's right.

"Southern Africa is fighting the enemy in multiple battlefields. In Asia, Europe, and Africa, southern African soldiers appear on almost all battlefields. As long as there is a battle, there will be southern African soldiers. I want to correct a statistic, Mr. Foreign Minister So far, the southern African soldiers have wiped out more than 200 million enemies, and we have not stood by—" Rock's number is not filled with water, and it is more than 200 million.

The Japanese army occupied the vast majority of these 200 million miles. After the two battles in the Philippines and Malaya, more than 100 million Japanese troops were wiped out in southern Africa.

This is not counting the bombing of the Japanese mainland and the losses caused to Japan.

"—Southern Africa is also responsible for providing logistical support to the allies. As of last month, Southern Africa has provided the allies with weapons and equipment worth 190 billion rand, and various strategic materials, from aircraft tanks to medicines and food, Everything." Roque also has a lot of data to list, and it is better than Molotov.

The reporters are very serious, and they are very busy taking photos and records. Some reporters dare not raise their hands if they want to ask questions. Hundreds of Secret Service staff are watching. Who dare not open their eyes and close the small black room first. .
