Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2421 If there is a backer, it is horizontal
During the Tehran meeting, the ground attack on Italy was basically stopped. Although the air strikes continued, the scale and intensity were not large, only once a week or so, and the air strikes were limited to Rome.

Under pressure from Russia, Winston agreed to place the starting point of the Second Front in France.

Arthur picked up Italy again. If Cyprus wants to expand its influence in the Mediterranean, then Italy is the top priority.

The attack on Italy was named "Blizzard", and it is expected to dispatch about 35 divisions, plus the Cyprus Squadron and Marine Corps, and use about 50 troops.

"Attacks on Italy should focus on attacking the heart, and mainly attack the German troops in Italy—after the 'Overlord' operation starts, the German troops in Italy will probably be transferred away, and the pressure will be much less by then." Rock Worried about the lack of strength of the Fifth Army, it is estimated that the cooperation of the Third Army is needed to complete the campaign objectives.

The Allied attacks on Sicily and Sardinia confirmed Roque's judgment that the performance of the Italian army in mainland Italy was indeed different from that in North Africa.

When they were in North Africa, the Italian army played a supporting role, and various jokes emerged in an endless stream, showing similar tactical qualities to the British and Indian troops.

Once fighting in Italy, the Italian army showed a tenacious will to fight, which is impressive.

"Some time ago, more than 6000 Italian sailors arrived in Cyprus with the Italian fleet. We have done some work, increased our understanding of the Italian army, and selected a group of Italian sailors to send back to Italy. Mr. Gasberry will cooperate with us There are still many peace-loving people in Italy—” Arthur was a little embarrassed, these tricks were not on the table, but the effect was excellent.

When Gasberry was in Pretoria, Roque took the time to meet Gasberry and was impressed by him.

The Italian sailors are even better at playing chess. The fortresses are all breached from the inside, with twice the result with half the effort.

"Alvin seems to be still in Algiers, you can ask him to cooperate with you." Rock never had a bottom line when fighting, as long as he could defeat the enemy, he would do anything he could.

"Alvin's current work focus is on the oil fields in North Africa—" Arthur and Alvin have been in touch all the time, and Alvin is indeed very busy during this time.

The controversy over North African oilfields has not only not ended, but has intensified.

Before the Tehran meeting, the dispute over the oil fields in North Africa had come to an end. Winston, Roosevelt, and Roque all tended to temporarily put aside the dispute and jointly develop it.

On the second day of the Tehran meeting, the British army escorted a convoy of more than 20 vehicles to send a batch of oil out of the oil field.

The accident happened again. The convoy was attacked by unknown armed forces on the way. The British army responsible for escorting the convoy was wiped out and all the cars were burned down.

Alexander was very angry, and sent British troops to carry out a new round of conquest of the surrounding nomadic tribes around the point where the convoy was attacked. It is estimated that more than 1000 people died.

This aroused the anger of the nomads. A week ago, a US military convoy was attacked by the nomads. Although the US military repelled the nomads with strong firepower, this matter still attracted the attention of public opinion.

The Allied forces came to North Africa under the banner of "fighting against evil". The Germans and Italians were driven away, which not only failed to bring peace to North Africa, but caused more and more serious conflicts. The U.S. military must exercise restraint and not continue to intensify conflicts.

What Patton didn't expect was that both Patton Jr. and Alexander didn't take it seriously. They both advocated more cruel revenge actions to completely wipe out the nomads.

"Our troops have been attacked by nomadic tribes. This situation is absolutely intolerable. For the safety of the transportation line, we must also eliminate all hidden dangers." Patton Jr. was fierce, and the Americans were never relentless in this regard.

Just yesterday, Patton Jr. dispatched air force to bomb the nomadic tribes in the desert.

The U.S. military used high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs to carry out air strikes on the three nomadic tribes. Although the operation was successful, it can be expected that the Allied forces will be retaliated by the nomadic tribes.

"Marshal, if possible, I hope you can tell us the secret of the fact that southern Africa has not been attacked by nomadic tribes." Alexander seemed to be trying to convey something.

"The secret of southern Africa is to keep a clear head and not be impulsive at any time." Patton was not angry. If the southern African army was involved, the US military transport convoy would never get away unscathed. Who would look down on them.

"If the convoy in southern Africa is attacked, can you still keep a clear head?" Alexander kept pestering him, and he didn't know the pain until he was hit by the stick.

"You should examine yourself, why was the British army's convoy attacked." Patton was blunt.

It was agreed to put aside the dispute and jointly develop it, but the British army secretly transported oil and suffered for themselves.

"The nomadic tribes have become our biggest threat. We must open up a safe zone to wipe out or drive away all the nomadic tribes. Now we have reason to believe that these nomadic tribes accept the leadership of the Germans or Italians and are planning to attack us. Attack." Little Barton couldn't rest for a minute.

"No, when the Italians were here, the resistance of the nomadic tribes never stopped." Patton also had a headache. Before the oil fields in North Africa were discovered, the relationship between the Allied forces and the nomadic tribes was still good. Received help from nomadic tribes.

Everything has changed since the actions of the US military. The trust between the nomadic tribes and the allied forces is now gone. Unless the nomadic tribes are completely wiped out or driven away, as Patton Jr. said, there will be no peace.

Alexander raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

During the period when Italy ruled North Africa, the resistance actions in Italian North Africa had a lot to do with the British.

Now the Italians are driven out, the common enemy is gone, time for infighting.

"As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in North Africa, you have to do something." Patton Jr. hoped that Patton would take the initiative to take responsibility.

"Of course, but I need some time." Barton didn't just let it go.

"How long?" Barton Jr. confirmed the time limit.

"One month." Patton expected the enemy to be lenient.

"If it's a month, then it's better to let me handle it." Alexander was dissatisfied.

"Okay, then you come—" Barton was not authoritative.

Alexander was at a loss for words, he was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.

"During this period, the U.S. military must stop all military operations." Patton has requirements for the U.S. military.

"If we don't get attacked again, we can—" Little Barton also wanted to know about this matter as soon as possible, and he also wanted to go to France to participate in the "Overlord" operation.

"The exploitation of oil fields must stop, otherwise your safety will not be guaranteed." Patton also had requirements for the British army.

The current situation in North Africa is very complicated. The only thing Patton can confirm now is that the southern African army did not participate in any operations, so the British army and the American army are mostly killing each other.

Of course, the French, who seem to be on the sidelines, cannot be ignored.

"Of course you don't care, you don't lack oil—" Alexander was not reconciled.

"Okay, or not?" Barton said harshly.

Alexander's face was flushed, his eyes were fierce, his chest heaved violently, and after panting for a long time, he was finally OK.

That's OK.

After sending Alexander and Patton Jr., Patton couldn't help but swear, no one was worried.

Alvin came to visit Barton in the evening and brought the latest news to Barton.

"I was investigating the black market for arms in Algiers recently and guess what, the British and the Americans and the French were all dealing with nomadic tribes and at least 10 tons of arms and ammunition left Algiers through the black market last month, of which It even includes heavy weapons such as rocket launchers and mortars.” Alvin is not surprised, the situation in North Africa is complicated, no matter how miraculous things may happen.

Algiers was originally the garrison of the French Foreign Legion, with a high rate of weapons penetration and a rampant black market.

When Patton first arrived in Algiers, he rectified the reselling of weapons and ammunition, and achieved certain results. During the North African campaign, the situation got out of control again, and this time it was completely a man-made disaster.

"Is it possible to completely destroy the oil field." Barton was cruel and ruthless, directly grasping the main contradiction.

"Look at this—" Alvin handed Patton a copy of the just-published "Algiers Daily", with bold bold headlines on the front page—the North African oil fields are expected to have more than one billion barrels of reserves, which can be exploited for more than 20 years.

Barton only glanced at it, then tossed the newspaper aside.

The "Algiers Daily" is also very powerful, and this kind of data can be obtained. It seems that Britain has been infiltrated by the French.

Oil fields with a scale of one billion barrels are almost impossible to be completely destroyed unless the crustal structure is changed.

"Can the North Africans be contacted? At least before the start of the 'Overlord' operation, they must keep quiet." Patton didn't want to completely solve the problem, and he didn't want to miss the "Overlord" operation.

"It's very difficult, because of the continuous actions of the British and Americans, the North Africans have suffered heavy casualties, and their revenge is very strong--" Alvin has channels, but there is no guarantee of success: "--the situation is very troublesome now, some North Africans think they are also entitled to the benefits of the oil fields.”

To put it bluntly, it is still an interest.

Oil fields were discovered in North Africa, and it is understandable for North Africans to think so.

The Nezhi royal family is rich with the income from the Nezhi oil field. Why do the nomadic tribes in North Africa have to be displaced all day long?
When the British ate meat, if they gave the North Africans a mouthful of soup, the situation would not be intensified to the point it is today.

Patton's head was as big as a bucket, and only now did he realize how difficult it is to be the leader of the martial arts alliance.

This is only a small North Africa, and the conflict of interests has reached this level. How did Britain survive the past 100 years?

"I have a plan, but the conditions have not been met yet." Alvin faced the difficulties, and there were always more ways than difficulties.

"Tell me—" Barton's spirit lifted.

"We can set up a joint company to jointly develop the oil field and take into account the interests of all parties." Alvin's plan disappointed Patton. Patton also mentioned this method, which was strongly opposed by Alexander.

Alexander's reason is very good. The oil field was discovered by Britain, so why should the interests be equal?
Southern Africa digs oil in Port Elizabeth, and they didn't share it with Britain.

"The British don't agree because their losses are not big enough—" Alvin is confident, when this plan becomes the only way, then even if the British are not reconciled, they have to admit it: "—If the current situation If it goes on, the UK won't get any money from the oil fields, and I think the British will accept that."

Barton suddenly realized that if the boss wants to keep things in balance, he must sacrifice the interests of one party.

"The purpose of the Americans is simpler. They just want to increase their presence around the Mediterranean Sea, and they don't care too much about the interests of the oil fields." Alvin's analysis is very thorough. The Americans are not short of oil, but they are short of opportunities.

"As for the North Africans, it's simpler. They haven't seen money at all. Give them a small amount of money and let them discuss the distribution method."

Alvin is also vicious, and he is very skilled in playing two peaches and three warriors.

The nomadic tribe's fists are the truth, and killing each other is even more ruthless. What's the point of discussing this? Killing all the others, naturally there is no controversy.

Barton looked at Alvin with expectant eyes. This plan is not perfect enough. How can the interests of southern Africa be guaranteed?

"This is just a stopgap measure. If we want to completely solve this problem, we can refer to the Ottoman Republic." Alvin was not in a hurry. Compared with the previous ones, now is the main course.

Speaking of the Ottoman Republic—

Barton suddenly remembered that the ownership of Italian North Africa has not yet been decided.

Italian North Africa was an Italian colony before, and it will definitely be forcibly cut off after the war. If a new country is established on this land, the oil fields will naturally belong to the new country.

It's okay if the UK doesn't agree, and the British will no longer have the final say.

"It's a good plan, we can give it a try—" Barton thought more and more that it was feasible, sacrificing Britain, and fulfilling everyone.

"Before that, we have to make the British realize the reality." Alvin is not finished yet, and there are actions against the British.

"Be careful, don't let the British notice." Barton still has a lot of worries, not as unscrupulous as Alvin.

"Even if the British know about it, what can they do?" Alvin said with a cold face. He, the Lord of the North Sea of ​​the British Empire, wanted to rebel against the British Empire.

It really can't be done.

The United Kingdom is now hanging on the full screen in one breath, lingering on its last breath.

Without the help of southern Africa, the United States, and Russia, Britain should have moved its capital to Canada by now, and it would last until 1940 at most.

After the U.S. military was attacked, Patton dared to send planes to attack the nomadic tribes, but Alexander did not dare to do anything, probably because he was afraid that the planes would be shot down after they were sent out.

Even if Alexander found out that Alvin was behind his back, Alexander would not dare to do anything to Alvin, after all, there was Rock standing behind Alvin.
