Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2396 No matter how big the hatred is, it can be discussed
Gasberg has many supporters in southern Africa. The dual identity of religion and culture makes Gasberg have no shortage of fans in Pretoria. There are about 2 Italians living in Pretoria, scattered in the town of Belarus. These Italians tried to persuade the Pretoria city government to establish an Italian-speaking area, but was rejected by the Pretoria city government.

A long time ago, Pretoria used to have mono-ethnic neighborhoods, which is normal in immigrant cities, and that's how Chinatowns came about.

Later, the Pretoria city government discovered that a community composed of a single race is not conducive to ethnic integration. Many new immigrants living in Pretoria have not been able to learn any language other than their mother tongue for decades, and they cannot really integrate into it. Southern African societies, so single communities were gradually abolished.

Later in the day, Gasberg attended a welcome dinner hosted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Church in his honor.

The dinner has a fundraising nature, and Gasberg hopes to raise about 100 million rand to buy food and relieve women and children in Italy.

Bennett, who runs a cheese business in Pretoria, generously donated [-] rand and got the opportunity to communicate with Gasberry face to face.

"We hope that Italy will become a strong country with at least some international influence, so that those of us Italians living in southern Africa can have a greater voice and more freedom. We have lived in southern Africa in the past few years. It's very difficult, it's all because of the damn war, if there must be a war, we hope that Italy will be firmly in the same camp as southern Africa." Bennett was emotional, because Italians in southern Africa have been really difficult in recent years.

Compared with the United Kingdom and the United States, the Italians in southern Africa are doing well. At least they have not been imprisoned in concentration camps by the federal government, and their property has not been confiscated. They can still engage in business activities, and their education and medical treatment are basically normal.

The impact must still be there. Bennett's business plummeted after the outbreak of the war. Although many business partners kept silent, they actually reduced their contact with Bennett.

After the outbreak of the war, Bennett donated millions of rands to the federal government and charities successively, and received many awards from the federal government, but failed to change people's resistance to Italian products.

Since the outbreak of the war, sales of Italian goods have declined markedly throughout southern Africa.

To Bennett's dismay, sales of southern African goods to Italy have not decreased but have increased substantially, especially in the luxury sector.

This fully proves Italians' preference for luxury goods.

At the same time, it shows that in Italy, the war has made many people rich.

"We are committed to establishing a democratic government after the war, so as to keep Italy away from the threat of war—" Gasberg said this sentence to everyone in the past few days, repeating it countless times.

"No, no, Mr. Curator, you made a mistake. Instead of keeping Italy away from the threat of war, you should choose the right camp and always stand with the victor." Bennett did not reject the war, but refused fail.

This is also the stereotyped thinking of the Italians. The two world wars have repeatedly jumped, and the fundamental purpose is to stand with the victors.

"Mr. Curator, if the Catholic Democratic Party forms a government after the war, how will the new government treat His Majesty the King?" There must be inconsistent voices, and His Majesty III also has supporters in Italy.

"His Majesty the King must abdicate. We cannot repeat the same mistakes and allow someone's selfishness to drag Italy into the abyss." Gasberg's attitude was decisive, and the abdicated king is a good king.

At the dinner at the Palace of Justice the next day, Gasbery expressed his opinion to Roque in the same way.

This time Gasberg was well prepared, memorized the speech, and fully expressed his opinion to Rock.

"At the beginning of the year, I met with President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston in Casablanca. We unanimously decided to establish a new international organization to replace the League of Nations after the war. So is it necessary to establish a regional organization in the Mediterranean?" Rock did not want The Mediterranean countries hold together for warmth, which will affect the interests of southern Africa in the Mediterranean.

"Southern Africa also has territory in the Mediterranean Sea, so Southern Africa will also be invited." Gasberg is not stupid. There are many benefits to bringing Southern Africa in, and there must be a big talker.

If possible, Gasberg would like Italy to dominate.

This is obviously impossible, even if others do not object, it is impossible for the French to agree.

With the participation of southern Africa, the French have to bow their heads, which in turn ensures the centralization of power.

As for Southern Africa being the big brother, will it defend France more or Italy more.

Gasberg believes that Roark will not lose the big by small things.

"That way there is no problem—" Rock readily agreed, as long as there is no Britain and the United States, how beautiful the world would be.

There were a lot of people attending the dinner, and Roque was undoubtedly the center of the banquet, and everyone hoped to have a chat with Roque.

Gasberg is also one of the focuses. Everyone is very concerned about when Italy will withdraw from the war and where Italy will go after the war.

There are different rumors about Italy. Some people say that the Italian royal family has been put under house arrest in North Africa. Others say that the fat and bald head is dead. The guy in Salo is a fake.

Some people even say that His Majesty III has been forced to commit suicide by taking poison, and the Kingdom of Italy will cease to exist after the war.

Many countries in exile are very concerned about Italy, such as the Greek royal family that has returned to Greece but has not yet returned to power.

And, as the situation on the battlefield has improved, Andrei Vorontsevich, the Russian ambassador to southern Africa, has recently become more and more high-profile.

Andre has been paying attention to Gasberg. Unlike southern Africa, Italy has a blood feud with the Russian army on the Russian battlefield. Southern Africa can let go of its past and let go of its hatred with Italy, but the Russians cannot.

"Your Excellency the curator, when is Italy going to surrender?" Andre found an opportunity to take the initiative to attack Gasberg.

Gasberg looked embarrassed, he is not good at handling this kind of situation.

In the upper class, the gentleman's demeanor is the most important thing, even if the enemy is in front of him, he must maintain his demeanor, so as not to tear his face easily.

Andre doesn't have so many taboos. Russia has already hit this level, and there is no room for change.

Andre didn't let Gasberg go, and continued to add insult to injury: "—almost forgot to remind you, remember not to put conditions when you surrender, your only choice is to surrender unconditionally, otherwise wait for us to kill you all! "

This threat is a bit too much, and the eyes of the people around are a bit complicated when they look at Andre.

Russia has always been excluded from Europe, in large part because of religion.

Russia is the Orthodox Church, and Europe is the Catholic Church. The two have deep roots, and they both think that they are orthodox.

Gasberg is an official of the Vatican, and he is born at odds with Russia, which believes in the Orthodox Church. It is understandable that he was targeted by the Russians.

It is not impossible for Russia to do such a thing as killing them all, and it also has a criminal record.

"Mr. Andre, not all Italians are guilty. There are also peace-loving people in Italy." Gasberg was a little flustered. He knew that Italy had sent a slave army to Russia, and he also knew that the slave army had suffered heavy casualties. The cruelty of the Russian battlefield can be seen when it is forced to break through in hand-to-hand combat.

This also shows from another aspect the damage caused by the Italian servants to Russia, otherwise the Russians would not kill them all.

"Yes, yes, what you said is correct. When the Germans gained the upper hand, Italy was forced to join the war. When the Germans were in decline, the Italians suddenly became peace-loving. Your army is in Russia. The Russians have done a lot of damage, are you ready to pay for it?" Andre revealed the fact that Roque and Gasberg deliberately avoided.

Switching camps does not mean that the previous accounts are written off.

Even if Italy joined the Allies, it would have to face claims from Britain, France, Greece, Albania, Abyssinia and other countries.

And of course Russia.

This is the price that must be paid for helping the tyrant. Italy forced France to cede territory and committed countless blood debts during the occupation of Greece and other countries.

"Participating in the war was the wrong decision of the Kingdom of Italy. Now that the royal family has paid the price, we will of course try our best to compensate, within our capabilities—" Gasberg dared not say it to death, otherwise his political career has not yet begun it will be over.

"Do your best—and it's still within your ability—when you robbed, killed, and committed violence in Russia, you didn't ask Russia if it agreed." Andre pressed every step of the way, almost touching Gasbery's face. The face roared: "—or is it that the mistakes made by the Kingdom of Italy have nothing to do with you? Could this debt be written off as the royal family stepped down?"

Gasbery's face was ashen, and he barely supported it.

Andre's voice was a bit loud, which attracted a lot of people's attention, so the sound of the music was a little bit quieter.

"Please come with me, we need a suitable environment that won't affect the mood of other guests." Gavin appeared in time to save Gasbery.

Coming to the small living room next to the banquet hall, Gasberry lay motionless on the sofa as if he had collapsed.

"Gavin, you have to understand the feelings of a father who lost a child. My eldest son disappeared in Minsk, my second son was killed in Moscow, my only daughter was killed by the German bombing, and my family is broken along with my country. My life is over, and I must make the Germans pay, all the guilty." Andrei's eyes were red, his family a microcosm of Russia.

Gavin felt the same way, and silently handed Andre a glass of wine.

Andre drank it all in one gulp, and looked at Gasbery again, his eyes were like flames.

When Andre calmed down a little, Gavin spoke sincerely: "I guarantee that all guilty people will pay the price, but we blame innocent people—"

"Who is innocent? Who is guilty? How should I define it?" Andre continued to shoot, his world was black and white.

"Calm down my friend, if you want to end the war as soon as possible." Gavin put his arm on Andre's shoulder, looking directly into Andre's eyes.

"If this time is still as ambiguous as last time, I guarantee that the war will come as scheduled in 20 years and will never leave." Andre's tone was firm. This was a prophecy, more like a threat.

The last war—

To be honest, after the end of the last war, there was no complete liquidation, the real initiator of the war was not punished, and the responsibility was borne by all Germans collectively.

So now that the war is not over, there are reflection monsters who have begun to reflect, thinking that Germany, Japan, and Italy should not be punished excessively, so that hatred will not spread to the next generation.

This is certainly not what the Russians said.

"No, absolutely not. This time all war criminals will receive the most severe punishment. No one can escape the post-war trial." Nobody wants to run away.

Gavin didn't ignore Gasberry after reassuring Andre.

"I'm fine. I can understand Mr. Andre's feelings. Italy made a mistake and should be punished. I just hope that innocent people are not affected. Most Italians are peace-loving." Gasbery said with a heavy heart, The situation he had to face was far more difficult than he imagined.

Probably because in the last world war, Italy changed camps too easily, which gave Gasberg an illusion that the Allied forces would warmly embrace Italy, regardless of previous suspicions.

The reality gave Gasberg a slap in the face. Southern Africa really does not care about the past, because the damage caused by Italy to Southern Africa is too small to be ignored.

For real enemies such as Japan, look at how resolute the attitude of southern Africa is, not giving a chance, let alone changing camps, not even giving a chance to surrender.

Walking out of the small meeting room, the banquet was coming to an end, Gasberry was exhausted physically and mentally, and he just wanted to go back to the embassy for a good sleep.

Andre hadn't left yet, sitting in the car waiting for Gasberg.

Gasberry got into Andre's car.

"It is easy to get Russia's understanding. It is necessary to meet Russia's request, that is, to help Russia obtain access to the Black Sea including the Dardanelles, Marmara Sea, and the Bosporus Strait." The rage in the banquet, the voice is calm and rational.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Andre, but the outlet to the Black Sea is not under the control of the Italian army." Gasberg was sensible and did not dare to make a private deal with Russia.

It is very simple to agree to the Russians' request, but if the southern Africans find out, the consequences will be serious.

Don't forget that the mouth of the Black Sea, although nominally controlled by the League of Nations, is actually under the control of Southern Africa.

"You don't have to worry about it, Italy just needs to support Russia to get the Black Sea outlet." Andre is determined to win. Compared with the coveted Black Sea outlet, Italy's crimes in Russia can also be ignored.
