Chapter 2387 World Police
There has never been warmth, no gentlemanly demeanor, and no chivalry in war. The tragedy on the Russian battlefield is the norm, and everything is for killing opponents at all costs.

Killing is not enough to describe it.

It should be killing them all, just like how Bai Qi killed 40 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, completely exhausting the opponent's war potential once and for all.

Compared with the Russian battlefield, the previous battles of the North African Allied Forces were like playing house. They surrendered and wanted treatment that matched their status!
What dream?
Do you have to be paid for working in a POW camp?

It's not bad for those who stutter to survive starvation.

"If that's the case, we will fight to the end!" The Italian officer's expression was ugly, and his words were inappropriate, roughly equivalent to: If you don't agree with my request, I will die for you.

"If you want to fight to the end, then you still have 40 minutes to prepare." Shen Fei was cold, holding a scare, it wasn't enough.

At this time, the "Leopard" tank had already warmed up, and the tankers were eager to try, and the muzzle was already pointing at the castle on the cliff.

Not far away, several heavy artillery were also ready. This is a battle-level heavy artillery with a caliber of 203 mm, which played a huge role in the battle to conquer the city hall.

Cagliari City Hall is located near the port. It is a building made of white marble with a solid structure.

The Italian defenders had hoarded a large amount of supplies in the city hall before, and the British and American allied forces besieged it for a week, but failed to take it down.

After Southern Africa joined the war, 203mm cannons were transferred from Algiers, and finally blasted the shell of the city hall, and the defenders were wiped out.

Although the structure of the castle is also very strong, it has no resistance in front of this kind of giant cannon. easy.

"We need more time to discuss—" the Italian officer tried to buy time.

"You can discuss it, but it's only for 40 minutes." Shen Fei didn't give in, no conditions means no conditions at all, delaying time is of course not allowed.

Only at this time did the Italian military officers realize the seriousness of the situation. If they did not surrender, they would die.

At six o'clock in the evening on the 28th, ten days after the start of the fighting, the fighting in Cagliari finally came to an end.

Patton and Montgomery were very happy and planned to imitate de Gaulle in Cagliari and hold a similar entry ceremony.

After investigating the situation in Cagliari, Barton and Montgomery had no choice but to give up the idea.

The free French army attacked Corsica, and there was no decent battle at all. Ajaccio was almost intact, and the local residents warmly welcomed the arrival of the free French army.

After ten days of fighting, Cagliari was almost completely turned into ruins. Three-quarters of the city was destroyed and nine rooms were empty. If Patton and Montgomery held an entry ceremony, then the people who greeted Patton and Montgomery might be black guns. .

Anyway, it will definitely not be flowers and smiling faces.

Then there will be no ceremony, and the Allied forces will continue to advance northward and regain the entire Sardinia.

Algiers, the day after the Battle of Cagliari, Victor Emmanuel III came to Patton, hoping to restore the management of Cagliari to the Italian royal family.

His Majesty the King has been very embarrassed recently. His status in Algiers is not high, which is completely different from what he imagined. Council status was also removed, and Victor Emmanuel III's hunger for power was unprecedented.

This is actually the temptation of Victor Emmanuel III.

If Barton agrees to His Majesty's request, then Victor Emmanuel III may return to Rome after the war.

If Patton refuses, then Victor Emmanuel III will consider the time to abdicate.

"Your Majesty, the battle in Cagliari is not over yet, and it is not safe now. If you want to return to the Kingdom of Italy, why not go to Sicily—" Barton gave Victor Emmanuel III a move to let the king go Look for Brits and Americans.

Sicily is also the territory of the Kingdom of Italy, and the fighting has long since ended, it is completely under the control of the Allied Forces, and the economy and people's livelihood are being restored.

The Allied forces are preparing to attack the Apennine Peninsula. Sicily has become the most suitable forward base. A large amount of supplies are being concentrated in Sicily. The life of the people in Sicily is also calming down. The resistance to the Allied forces is not as strong as in Sardinia. .

The process of the Anglo-American coalition attacking Sicily was relatively restrained, the damage caused was not large, and it was relatively easy to recover.

The situation in Sardinia is a bit serious. Cagliari was reduced to ruins, and the port facilities were unusable. Naturally, it was not suitable as a forward base. Therefore, the British and American coalition forces hardly had any nostalgia, just like the northern Sardinia. Leave the finishing touches to Southern Africa.

This is precisely what Southern Africa does best.

Victor Emmanuel III had an embarrassed expression on his face. He must have gone to the British and Americans, but he probably came to Barton after being rejected.

The reason is simple. Sicily will become the forward base for attacking the Apennine Peninsula next, and it is also under military control. His Majesty the King thinks it is best to wait until the end of the war.

say "best"

In fact, it is a "must".

Or "impossible".

"I am the king of the Kingdom of Italy. If I appear in Cagliari, it will help the recovery of Cagliari." His Majesty III racked his brains to find such a reason.

"After the battle, we started to clean up the ruins of Cagliari. Now there are less than 50 locals in Cagliari—" Barton looked sad, war is very cruel.

"God——" His Majesty III covered his face in cooperation and cried out. At this moment, he really looks like a good king who is compassionate and loves his people.

In fact, it's all about acting.

If His Majesty the King really cared for his people so much, he would not have dragged the Kingdom of Italy into the war.

As mentioned earlier, the situation in Italy is quite different from that in Germany.

In Germany, Hindenburg really couldn't do the mustache.

In the Kingdom of Italy, it seems that the fat bald head dominates the overall situation. In fact, since Victor Emmanuel III easily put the fat bald head under house arrest, it is not difficult to see that the Kingdom of Italy is actually the king who has the final say.

So the fat and bald head is the puppet.

Barton didn't speak, and watched Victor Emmanuel III's acting skills quietly.

"I must return to Cagliari. It's time to end this war. The tragedy cannot happen again." His Majesty III was impassioned, as if everything was under control.

"Do you have any good ways to end the war quickly?" Patton was curious.

"I'm going to make a speech on the radio, calling on all Italians to take action to end this war as soon as possible with their own actions." His Majesty III tried to use his influence to prove to Patton that he was still the king of Italy.

"Then, your Majesty, you should contact the radio station—" Barton said casually, giving His Majesty III leeway.

The audience of the radio speech was not the Italians, but the leaders of the allied countries. Victor Emmanuel III wanted to use the radio speech to express his attitude, so that after the war, His Majesty III would have enough reasons to return to the throne. After all, through the radio speech, His Majesty III also contributed to the Allied victory.

Regardless of the size of the contribution, the key is the attitude.

Victor Emmanuel III's expression was awkward again. It is estimated that he also contacted the radio station, but the radio station also refused to give the opportunity.

Don't think that as a king, you have privileges no matter where you go. The hair-shedding phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken, and the radio resources are also very precious. You will not let someone on the radio casually, especially for Victor Emmanuel III. For sensitive people.

De Gaulle had to get the consent of southern Africa when he went to the radio station at the beginning. The political sensitivity of the radio staff is very high.

It doesn't matter if Barton said anything about it, the decision still rests with Pretoria.

During this period of time, in addition to paying attention to the situation on the Russian battlefield, Rock put more energy on next year's offense.

It has now been determined that next year the Allied forces will definitely open up a real second battlefield in Europe, either in France or in Germany.

At that time, it will not be such small fights in the Mediterranean Sea, but go all out to goshawks and rabbits to completely conquer the Germans.

Now the British First Army, the Spanish Third Army, and the Atlantic Fleet are preparing for war.

The landing operation with a scale of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of people needs to prepare a large amount of various combat materials. The allies lack a combat fulcrum on the European continent, and the landing operation will face countless difficulties. The Germans will not stand still. The troops from the Russian battlefield were transferred back to the German mainland, preparing for the final decisive battle with the Allied forces in the German mainland.

So far, the combat areas of the Allied forces are not in the German mainland, and they will get help from the locals in the battle. This is one of the most important reasons for the Allied forces to win with difficulty.

After the war spreads to the German mainland, the situation will be completely different. At that time, every ordinary German will become a potential enemy of the Allied forces, and every step forward will be extremely difficult for the Allied forces.

"The staff gave several alternatives. The best landing site is not Saint-Roch, but Normandy, which is not far from Saint-Roch. This is French territory. We will encounter less difficulties. If we choose to land in Germany Landing on the mainland, we will encounter great difficulties, and the troops must be prepared to lose more than 10 people." Martin has a serious face, and the war has been fought so far, and the loss in southern Africa has been less than 10 people.

Although the battles in various places are extremely fierce, in fact, the losses of the southern African army are very small, which has a lot to do with the absolute advantage of southern Africa.

On the East Asian battlefield, the extremely powerful armored forces in southern Africa were brutally crushing the Japanese army. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "weapon generation difference". Dare to say that the huge ship that cost hundreds of millions of yen to build was forced to become a mobile anti-aircraft battery, and the Japanese navy became the biggest joke since the outbreak of the war.

Around the Mediterranean Sea, the southern African army also has a huge advantage. In the early stage of the North African campaign, the southern African army captured Italian East Africa and French North Africa at a devastating speed until it invaded Italian North Africa. The British were worried about the southern African forces. All kinds of expansion are holding back, and the war has only dragged on until now.

If Southern Africa went all out, the fighting in North Africa could have ended early last year, and the front could have advanced to the European continent. Maybe the war is over now.

"I didn't expect that the fortifications we built in San Roque would actually become the biggest obstacle to our landing—" Kitchener, who hadn't played for a long time, also participated in today's meeting. He is now 95 years old, and his body is actually younger all good.

In the past few years, Kitchina's health has been deteriorating, and she has been in bed all day long. Kitchina's private health doctor once thought that Kitchina's life was coming to an end.

A miraculous thing happened. After the war broke out, Kitchener seemed to have a second spring. He traveled all day long in various states in southern Africa to attend rallies, give speeches, and raise donations for the military in various ways. As of a month ago, Kitchener Sodium has raised more than R1.5 million in donations.

The biggest of these came from Gavin.

Gavin donated 5000 million rand to the southern African military in an anonymous manner, making it the largest personal donation since the founding of southern Africa.

In terms of total amount, Roque is the person who donated the most. So far, through various means, the donated property equivalent to rand has exceeded 20 billion. The largest donation is the Nyasaland Railway Company, which is estimated to be worth one billion rand. .

The history of the Rock Repair Railway dates back to colonial times, after Cecil Rhodes the Elder sold Nyasaland to Rock for a penny, Rock began repairing the railway in Nyasaran to Rock When donating Nyasaland Railway Company to the Federal Government of Southern Africa, Nyasaland Railway Company owned more than 10 kilometers of railways, accounting for 45% of the total railway length in Southern Africa.

"Even if there are no obstacles, we have to bypass Saint Rocco. It is broken now, and we have to repair it in the future. Saint Rocco is our country." Martin is unwilling to burn the flames of war to the land of southern Africa, and Saint Rocco is southern Africa. The only enclave in continental Europe.

This situation will definitely change in the near future. With the contribution of southern Africa to the victory, it is not too much to ask for a few more enclaves in the European continent.

As long as the location is good, it doesn’t matter if the area is smaller. Southern Africa has leased many islands from all over the world from the United Kingdom through the "islands for destroyers" plan. These islands will be the fulcrum of Southern Africa’s influence in the future. Rock estimates that I can't see it anymore, but Gavin's generation has a great chance to replace the United States and become the "world police" of the future world.

"The area of ​​Saint-Roch is too small. France should expand the area of ​​Saint-Roch ten times, so as to be worthy of the help we give to France." Kitchener is old and strong, and he is the most staunch colonialist in southern Africa .
