When Gavin was born, Roque had already been knighted. At that time, there were no more than ten knights in southern Africa, including the governor.

By the time Gavin started to understand, Roque was already one of the most powerful people in southern Africa, so Gavin's understanding of opportunities was completely different from that of Attlee, who came from a middle-class family.

For Attlee, there may be only one chance in this life to be the Prime Minister.

For Gavin, it is not necessary for him to perform too well, even as long as he does not make mistakes, after Rock retires, Gavin is the best candidate for the Prime Minister of Southern Africa.

Not even one of them.

When a monkey climbs a tree, it looks like a butt when looking up, and a smiling face when looking down.

Gavin was born at the top of a tree.

From the standpoint of southern Africa, Yang Smother disapproved of Attlee's troubles at this time.

But in terms of class, Yang Smother could understand Attlee.

At the time of Southern Africa's independence, Jan Smozi and Louis Botha also had the opportunity to become the leaders of Southern Africa.

But because Rock invited Ade back from London, Yang Smother and Louis Botha failed.

At that time, Yang Smozi certainly didn't expect that it was the only chance in his life to enter the Palace of Justice.

"If Attlee is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, can Attlee lead the United Kingdom to victory?" Gavin couldn't understand Attlee's motivation.

"It doesn't matter, because it doesn't depend on the United Kingdom whether it wins or not." Young Smother had already accepted the reality that he was Prime Minister of Southern Africa, and he thought he was inferior to Roque.

Among other things, if it weren't for Rock, Yang Smother would never have had the chance to get so many new immigrants.

Without people, there is nothing.

At any time, population is the most important resource.

Yang Smotz's meaning was very clear, even if the dog on the leash was at [-] Downing Street, it would not affect the final victory of the Allies.

This is a bit harsh to say.

But reality is often crueler than fiction. Putting Winston and Attlee aside, some future masters in Downing Street were really not as good as that.

Young Smother was right when he said that the internal turmoil in Britain could not affect the victory of the Allies.

On June 6, it was cloudy, with showers and strong winds and waves in the sea near Normandy.

On the night of the 1st, the weather cleared up a little, but people's moods have not yet relaxed. On the 2nd and 3rd, there was a series of heavy rains, and the waves were as high as four meters. All ships were unable to dispatch.

The weather was terrible. The camp of the 21st Division in Southern Africa was low-lying and flooded severely. The supply truck broke down halfway. The logistics director, Meng Bang, brought a tank over and pulled the truck out of the mud.

"When you chose the camp, why did you choose this damn place?" Meng Bang was drenched when he entered the office.

The office is a temporary simple house with a wooden structure. The first floor has been flooded. The officers work on the second floor, and the third floor is the officer's dormitory.

"Now there are more than 50 troops around Portsmouth, and all the camps are temporarily set up. We are doing well here." Director Chen Hong cheered and offered to pour tea for Meng Bang. The two of them are good partners and even good friends. .

The camp of the southern African army was built by Christian Construction Company. At least the design took drainage factors into account, and the impact was not serious.

The British and American troops were truly unlucky. It is said that the camp of the [-]st U.S. Airborne Division has become a vast ocean, and the ammunition warehouses have been flooded, causing heavy losses. If they do not resupply, it will definitely affect the mission of the day after tomorrow.

This is what Chen Hong and Meng Bang are most worried about.

The day after tomorrow is "D" day, and the headquarters has decided that even if there is a knife in the sky, the "Overlord" plan must be implemented.

"It's not a bad thing if you think about it the other way around. The weather is so bad, the Germans will definitely relax their vigilance, which is very beneficial to us." Meng Bang did not shy away, changing clothes in front of Chen Hong.

Chen Hong helped pass the towels. For the southern African soldiers, the biggest threat is not the Germans, but the acclimatization.

Compared with southern Africa's climate, the climate in the UK is really terrible. Southern Africa is now in late autumn, with high clouds and clear air.

Britain is rainy, humid and cold, and you will be infected with diseases if you don't pay attention.

Just half a month ago, a large-scale disease broke out in the 49th Division of the British Army, which is mainly composed of Indian soldiers. Nearly half of the officers and soldiers of the entire division were hospitalized for treatment, and nearly 20 people died before and after. The 49th Division of the Chinese Army sent an investigation team to investigate the specific reasons.

The facts are shocking.

We all know that Indian soldiers have poor hygiene habits, but miraculously, there are very few large-scale disease outbreaks in the British and Indian troops.

This is very confusing. Don't forget that this is an influenza that can kill tens of thousands of people, or even 10,000+ people.

When Indian soldiers were in India, the British War Department didn't care about whatever they did. It pretended to give the British and Indian troops more freedom, but in fact they were letting their own lives go.

Now that the British and Indian troops are stationed in the UK, and they are stationed with so many allied forces, the British War Department cannot ignore it. After all, the British and Indian troops represent the face of the British Empire at this time.

So the British War Department imposed strict requirements on the British and Indian troops.

Unexpectedly, this strict requirement actually led to a large-scale outbreak of disease in the British and Indian troops, which was really unprepared.

In order to better find out the source of the disease, the southern African military and the US military also sent personnel to participate in the investigation.

After all, the consequences of the American pandemic in the last world war are still fresh in people's memory, and no one dares to take it lightly.

No one expected that the tripartite consultation did not come up with any results.

The conclusion from the southern African side is that with the current level of technology, the cause of the disease cannot be determined.

The results of the US military are amazing.

American infectious disease experts believe that it is because the British War Department's strict requirements on the hygiene of Indian soldiers broke the ecological balance of Indian soldiers themselves, which caused immune disorders, which in turn caused diseases.

This is a bit convoluted, but in human terms it would be——

Or don't change it, it's disgusting to think about it.

"There are advantages and disadvantages. The Germans will certainly relax their vigilance, and our mechanized equipment will be more affected. I don't think the Germans are capable of fighting against our armored torrent, even if the Germans are fully prepared." Chen Hong I don't like the result of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. If Rommel is given ten armored divisions, Rommel will not be able to save the defeat.

When the World War first broke out, there were only two armored divisions in southern Africa.

Now in the UK alone, there are eleven armored divisions in southern Africa, and the tanks equipped by the armored divisions in southern Africa surpass the German armored divisions in terms of quality and quantity.

In this case, even if Rommel has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to prevent the Allied forces from landing.

According to reliable information, Rommel now only has six armored divisions in his hands.

And the defensive area he is responsible for, the coastline alone is as long as 700 kilometers.

Therefore, when the gap in strength reaches a certain level, no matter how strong a person is, it is useless.

As soon as Meng Bang put on his trousers, there was a knock on the door, and the division headquarters had a meeting.

According to the plan, the 21st Division will also land in Normandy with the first wave of attacking troops.

This task was much less dangerous than the US First Airborne Division. The First Airborne Division had to be airborne at the junction of the German positions, surrounded by German troops, with at least three army divisions.

The 21st Division is an armored division composed entirely of officers and soldiers from southern Africa. The main sources of troops are from Kimberley and Bechuana, which are tough folk. The division commander Wang Yinghao is from Nyasaland. He has been sleeping for no more than three hours a day for a week. Hour.

"The weather department predicts that it may be sunny tomorrow afternoon. This is the first good news I've heard in a week." Wang Yinghao looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot. The water glass in front of him was filled with coffee without sugar.

"Believe in the weather forecast, it is better to pray for the Germans to surrender voluntarily." Fred, the commander of the Second Armored Regiment, was irritable. As early as three days ago, the weather forecasting department had said that the weather would clear up, but instead of clearing up, it rained harder and harder.

"I don't want the Germans to surrender, and I want to get another medal." Wei Yong, the head of the first regiment, is a medal lover, and his dream is to collect all the medals issued by the Allied Army.

This dream is still possible to realize, even if it is not awarded, it can also be obtained through exchange. A few days ago, Wei Yong received a Congressional Medal issued by the US Congress through special channels.

The US Congressional Medal, also known as the Medal of Honor, is the most difficult medal to obtain in the United States, equivalent to the British Victoria Cross.

Those who are eligible to receive the US Congressional Medal are all national heroes of the United States, who are eligible to receive special pensions for life.

In the past, the US Congress Medal is unlikely to flow into special channels, and no one will give up this honor.

Since the Washington Veterans incident, the honor of American veterans has been greatly affected. It is normal for some people to give up their congressional medals. Many veterans are lonely and even set up stalls in the streets to sell their medals.

There are also many veterans setting up stalls in the UK. The parliamentary medal Wei Yong got was bought from a British veteran at a price of 150 rand.

"Be quiet gentlemen, regardless of whether the weather is fine or not tomorrow, we will cross the Channel. I want to remind you that although there is no bet between us and the British and Americans, I also hope that you can cheer up. Here I personally contribute, whoever can enter Paris first, I will reward a bottle of 1930 French champagne—” Wang Yinghao believed that there must be a brave man under a great reward. Naturally, a rising tide lifts all boats.

"I'll add another bottle." Chief of Staff Stephens added that these bottles of champagne were sent by the logistics department a few days ago, mixed with about 1500 bottles of champagne, and were accidentally discovered by Chen Hong.

"I've ordered these two bottles of champagne!" Fred is also a champagne lover, and there is a large vineyard and a winemaking workshop in Bechuanaland's farm.

"A group is bound to win!" Wei Yong was also positive, this is not about champagne, it is about the honor of the soldiers, no one will admit defeat.

"Hehe—" The third group leader sneered again and again, let's wait and see.

The only infantry regiment commander, Wang Shengwu, watched coldly, as if our infantry regiment had no sense of existence.

Southern African armored divisions generally consist of three armored regiments, one infantry regiment, and one artillery regiment.

The Artillery Regiment will not be involved in this matter, they are laying hands on it, and it will never be their turn.

When the chief officers were actively asking for a fight, Chen Hong didn't speak, and Meng Bang even laughed. He and Chen Hong had already drank several bottles of this batch of champagne in private, and they didn't think it was special.

It is not the year or the production that determines the price of Champagne, but the quality.

In this respect, there is no essential difference between Cape Town’s champagne and French champagne. Cape Town’s champagne also won a gold medal at the Sugar and Wine Expo held in Cape State.

"Okay, that's it. Be prepared when you go back to make sure nothing goes wrong. If anyone loses the chain at that time, you don't need me to remind you. You know the consequences." Wang Yinghao repeatedly emphasized that this tripartite cooperation, although Pretoria is nothing Nothing is said, but everyone knows that the competition is not limited to the battlefield.

Where there are people there is competition.

Not counting Russia now, the British, American, and Southern African allied forces are disobedient, and they all dislike each other.

There is nothing you can do if you don't like it. We are all allies and we can't kill each other.

So as far as the real chapter is concerned on the battlefield, it is the mule or the horse that comes out for a walk. Whoever has a good record at that time will have the right to be proud.

On this day, not only the 21st Division was in a meeting, but almost all the Allied troops participating in the war were in a meeting.

There is no way, beating children on rainy days is also idle, and the supplies and ammunition are soaked in water to go to the bar. Anyway, the Allied forces now have more supplies and ammunition than they can use up, and they will definitely not delay as much as they need.

While the landing forces were gearing up, the navy and air force were also preparing for battle.

The rain was too heavy, and it was dangerous for the air force and warships to dispatch, so they reduced the frequency of dispatches, recharged their batteries, and prepared for the decisive battle on the [-]th.

The heavy artillery units are very popular. The narrowest part of the English Channel is only 21 miles, which is about 34 kilometers in metric system. Ordinary artillery can’t go so far, but train artillery can.

The train gun with the longest range in Germany is the Dora train gun, an improved version of the "Gustav" heavy gun, with a range of about 60 kilometers.

The Allies originally did not have train guns. After the Battle of Britain, in order to strengthen the attack on the other side of the strait, Nyasaland Heavy Industries designed a train gun called "Damocles", with a range of 55 kilometers, although it is not as good as Dora. Covering the English Channel is still easy.

Although the Dora train gun had a long range, because the Allied forces controlled the air supremacy of the English Channel, the Germans did not dare to launch the Dora train gun into the English Channel, so it was beyond their reach.

The Allied forces went too far and sent "Damocles" directly to Dover, and even sent ten gates. They would shoot non-stop at Calais across the Channel every day.

Now the Allied forces have a new big killer, the "meteorite" from southern Africa.

"Meteorite" is a rocket that once showed great power in the East Asian battlefield. This rocket has a range of more than 1000 kilometers. Although the accuracy is not high enough, it is powerful enough to strike the German mainland.

On the night of the [-]th, the Allies launched four "meteorites" aimed at Berlin.
