Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2429 Italian Translation

The propeller fighter has basically been developed to the limit now, and with the input of the Me-262, air combat has entered a new era.

It's not that the southern African military doesn't pay attention to the European battlefield, but that the engineers in southern Africa haven't solved the problem of how jet fighters can take off and land on aircraft carriers smoothly, so carrier-based pilots have to wait.

Unlike the United Kingdom, the United States is the real opponent in southern Africa. The same vast territory, the same rich resources, and the same immigrant country are all inclusive.

The United States steals southern Africa through war, and southern Africa also observes the United States through war. Compared with the Brazilian Civil War, the American progress is so fast, which is surprising.

"The latest York City in the United States is almost exactly the same as our island class. The Americans are shameful thieves." Martin was very angry. On the surface, the gap between the United States and southern Africa on aircraft carriers was narrowing.

Again, the aircraft carrier of this era really doesn’t have much technical content, there is no steam catapult, and there is no arresting wire. Yorktown has just used armored decks, and the so-called aircraft carrier steel does not have much technical content.

What is being studied here in southern Africa is how to equip jet aircraft on aircraft carriers.

Jet aircraft are heavier, fly faster, and require longer runways than propeller fighters.

The runway of an aircraft carrier has a limit and cannot be extended indefinitely. At this time, real technology is needed.

"As long as we can maintain our advantage, the Americans can only be chasers." Rock is not worried. The Americans have potential, but their innovation capabilities are insufficient. Without European technology input, the United States will not be able to become another beautiful country in time and space.

The United States is a country that is very good at stealing. If you only read American newspapers, you probably think that the industrial revolution started in the United States.

In fact, it is not true. Americans are best at stealing. If they can't steal it, they will rob it.

From this perspective, the former Secretary of State is not useless, at least he is honest.

"Compared to the fallen Europe, the United States is still alive. Through aiding Europe, many American companies have come back to life, and their financial statements look very good—" Stoudemire is in a good mood. He has invested in the United States and has made a lot of money during this period money.

There are also smart people in the United States who know why the cost of enterprises in southern Africa is so low after a little understanding.

So what are you waiting for, just follow along.

Southern African capital can squeeze neighboring countries, and so can American capitalists. When it comes to simply comparing labor prices, the United States also has an advantage.

As for the gap in technology, except in some cutting-edge fields, it is actually not that big. Most of the products on the market can be made in southern Africa, and the United States can also make them. Even if the performance is worse, they can still be used after all. The market must be some.

"Russia won the Battle of Belarus, the German Central Group was completely defeated, Russia has now invaded Poland, and our speed must be accelerated—" Jan Smother, who had just returned to Pretoria, was both excited and heavy.

The excitement is that the war is finally coming to an end, the Germans are gone, and the dawn of victory finally appears.

Victory is not the end, the competition will continue, the war will continue in another way.

Prior to this, Russia had won victories in the Crimea Peninsula and Finland, the German army was driven out of the Black Sea, and Finland also withdrew from the war, especially the latter, which was of great significance to Russia.

It was precisely because of the defeat in the Russo-Finnish War that exposed Russia's weakness that it strengthened Mustache's confidence in attacking Russia.

Russia won the Russo-Finnish War in name, but in fact it became a shame for Russia. The bearded man never forgets revenge, and now he has finally washed away his shame.

"Tell Arthur that his plan can start to be implemented—" Rock finally waited until this moment, and it was time to receive the fruits of victory.

The Germans have noticed the large-scale military mobilization of the Allied forces. Although the Germans are still unable to determine the landing point of the Allied forces, they have also made some arrangements for the military mobilization of the Allied forces.

During the Battle of Sicily, in order to ensure the safety of Italy, Mustache strengthened the defense in the direction of Italy, which objectively helped the Russian battlefield.

For Germany, France is more important than Italy. Now that France is in a hurry, the stretched mustache can only deploy troops from Italy to reinforce France.

The opportunity Rock wanted finally came.

Arthur had already made all preparations, and when the order was issued, Arthur immediately acted.

Messina, the northernmost city of Sicily, is across the sea from mainland Italy.

A few months ago, the Anglo-American coalition forces launched a competition on Messina, and finally won the victory with the US military entering Messina first.

The British army did not suffer a loss either. The city of Messina is now jointly controlled by the British and American armies, and the interests are shared.

After occupying Sicily, the offensive of the Anglo-American coalition forces basically stopped, except for the routine bombing of Rome every other week or so, there was no action plan.

The Anglo-American coalition forces stationed in Messina finally had a rare vacation. Messina is a beautiful city. It was famous for planting flowers and trees before the eighth century. A variety of delicacies, such as bread with roses, roast chicken with chrysanthemum sauce, and fried fish with cactus, etc.

Condela from Ireland likes the bread made of roses the most. Although the materials are precious during the war, the occupying army always has privileges.

"I like Messina. After the war, maybe I will make my home here." Condela didn't like Britain, and he didn't like the way Britain treated Ireland.

"I would rather suggest you go to California, where there are the most beautiful beaches in the world. Believe me, it will definitely make you unforgettable." Hobbs, a sergeant of the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States, lay on the grass next to Condela. The end is coming soon and the 82nd Airborne is heading to the UK for Operation Overlord.

The British and Americans did not accept the lessons of Sicily. In the "Overlord" operation, the airborne troops will also become the protagonists, and they will parachute to Normandy as the first wave of attacking troops.

According to the plan of Operation "Overlord", the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division and 101st Airborne Division will parachute into the vicinity of the town of Notre Dame Church on the night of "Overlord" operation, occupy the road leading to the coast, and prevent German reinforcements.

The 82nd Airborne Division participated in the previous Sicily campaign with heavy losses.

After the Battle of Sicily, the 82nd Airborne Division stayed in Sicily to rest and has now regained its strength.

"After the war is over, I will definitely go." There are many places Condela yearns for, as long as he doesn't go back to Ireland.

"After the war is over, if I am still alive, I will be your guide." Hobbs has already received the order, and his future is uncertain.

Condela wanted to say something to put his friend at ease.

At this time, the sound of aeroengines suddenly came from the air. Condela looked up and saw bombers and transport planes overwhelming the sky.

"Is there any action today?" Condela was surprised.

"No, at least we didn't, look at the plane clearly, buddy, this is a plane from Southern Africa—" Hobbs jumped up nervously, and lay back down again after seeing clearly.

It is indeed a southern African fighter plane, and there are a lot of them. It is roughly estimated that there are at least a hundred bombers, and the number of transport planes is enough to carry an airborne division.

At high altitudes that Hobbs and Condela couldn't see, hundreds of Army "Cheetahs" and Navy "Goshawks" were flying in formation. Their mission was to seize Rome's airspace.

This task is very easy. After several months of fighting, the Italian Air Force has been basically lost, and the number of German fighters has also decreased rapidly, and the frequency of dispatches is getting lower and lower.

Because of the frequent actions of the Allied forces in the English Channel, the German air force deployed in Italy was also transferred to the vicinity of the English Channel. Now there are no aircraft to protect Italy's airspace.

Inside the transport plane No. 3354, the boys from Basutoland were ready to go. Unlike the unlucky British and American airborne troops, the southern African airborne troops were more professional and had never failed.

In Arthur's plan, the first wave of troops participating in the attack was also the paratroopers. Their task was to parachute to the hilly area north of Rome to prevent possible reinforcements.

At the same time, two fleets departed from Algiers and Sardinia respectively, and they will land near Rome respectively.

A large number of German troops were transferred away, and the Italian army was empty. When Arthur was making plans, he decided to land directly in Rome, so that Italy could be forced to withdraw from the war as quickly as possible.

The Allied Forces previously predicted that when the Italian army fought in Italy, its will to fight would increase crazily.

That's the past tense.

After the royal family fled and the regime changed, the Italian army has lost its morale, and the small government formed by the fat and bald head cannot represent the current Italy at all.

What's more, it is not known whether the fat bald head is dead or alive. Although the Germans insist that the fat bald head is still alive, and the fat bald head often gives speeches on the radio, most Italians still prefer to believe that the fat bald head has already been rescued by the German army. died accidentally.

After all, it is not very difficult to find someone with a similar accent to read a script on the radio.

"Would you like a piece?" Corporal Millif of the 42nd Airborne Division handed a piece of chocolate to Blake beside him.

Millif and Blake are both Boers. They both came from a small town in Basutoland. They grew up together, played together, studied together, and joined the army together.

Black shook his head, he was a little nervous, not as relaxed as Millif.

"Relax man, there is nothing to worry about. Italy is the weakest force of the Axis powers, just like our Indian ally." Millif is optimistic. His biggest wish is to taste Italian food and return to Basutoland to open a family Dining room.

"I watched some documentary reports about Sicily last night." Black subconsciously hugged the Nyasaran rifle in his arms.

"What do you think that thing is for? I just read it as a joke." Millif laughed. There are military observers from southern Africa in the Anglo-American coalition forces. When newspaper editors write about the Anglo-American coalition forces, they sometimes use some Exaggeration, so the mistakes made by the British and American coalition forces during the Battle of Sicily were infinitely magnified and full of jokes.

What British transport plane was shot down by U.S. anti-aircraft artillery, what American major general’s plane crashed into a mountain, and the body has not been found yet, what British Air Force and American Air Force killed each other, etc., etc., this kind of thing is extremely serious Most Southern African paratroopers take it as a joke because it's hard to believe it's real.

"May God bless us—" Blake drew the cross on his chest, uneasy.

"It's better to ask for others than yourself—" Victor, who was sitting opposite Black, cheered Black up.

"When you land on the ground, you will stay with me." Sergeant Major Willie took good care of Blake, and they were also fellow villagers.

Amid the sound of encouragement, the transport plane finally arrived at the scheduled airborne position.

The green light came on, the hatch opened slowly, and the cool air poured in instantly. The officer stood beside the hatch and commanded loudly: "Jump, jump along, one after another, don't stop—"

Blake was still drawing the cross when he was pushed out of the cabin by the officer.

Jumping out of the dropship, Blake relaxed instead.

They have come to this point. It is true that it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. When a person dies, he will be in the sky, and he will not die for thousands of years.

The airborne troops were lucky. The Italians seemed to have no defenses. There were no Italian anti-aircraft guns on the ground and no German planes in the air. Everything was as easy as training.

After 2 minutes, Blake landed smoothly, and he went to Willie immediately.

"Where are we, where is the river? Where is the church?" Willie took out a map from his satchel, not knowing where he was.

"I don't know, sir, I didn't see the river in the sky—" Millif was not as relaxed as he said, squatting halfway with his gun raised for vigilance.

There were no enemies in sight, only a goat, staring blankly at a group of paratroopers on the hillside not far away.

"Look for that sheep. Since there are sheep, there must be people." Willie stuffed the map into his satchel, and now he believed that everything written in the newspaper was true.

There were indeed people walking along with the goats, and there were paratroopers who had just landed everywhere along the way.

An unlucky guy was hung on a tree, his hands were entangled in the paracord, and there were a few airborne soldiers beside him laughing and joking to help, moving as slowly as a tortoise.

In the distance, a military reporter ran over and hurriedly took out the camera: "Don't worry, let me take a photo first—"

The mood of grasping the news is understandable.

But we must also understand the feelings of the brothers hanging on the tree.

After turning over two hillsides and bypassing a forest, a wooden house appeared in front of Willie and Blake.

A few paratroopers were gesticulating and communicating with some Italian uncles and aunts next to the wooden house.

"Master, can you speak English? How about Chinese? French is also okay—" The paratroopers don't speak Italian.

"——" The uncles and aunts don't know anything except Italian.

The chicken talks with the duck.

"Translator, we need an Italian translator." Willy didn't speak Italian either.

"Sir, I'll—" Blake held up his hand.

"Great, let me tell you, you can translate and ask them where this is?" Willie was overjoyed.
