Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2481 I can't agree if I have a big beard
The problem of command and coordination of the Allied forces has been around for a long time. Britain and France were the only two countries that were intriguing with each other. Now with the addition of southern Africa and the United States, it has completely become a mess.

If there were no internal interests, the war would have ended in 1942 at most, and Germany would have no chance of provoking the northern giant bear.

Well now, the poisonous snake in Germany is about to be killed, but Russia in the cage is also completely released. It is hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse for Europe.

From the perspective of European history alone, Russia seems to be more frightening. After all, Germany has been defeated, but Russia has never been conquered.

The current situation is a bit complicated. Generally speaking, it is still the confrontation between the Axis powers and the Allies. The undercurrents are raging under the peaceful surface. The United Kingdom is unwilling to give way. Salvation is still a long way off.

The Americans regard the "Overlord" operation as the best way to gain leadership in the war. For this purpose, nearly 300 million American soldiers were sent to Europe, and nearly 200 million soldiers directly participated in the operation. Nearly 400 million soldiers in the United States are still receiving Training, most of them will also be sent to Europe.

Under such circumstances, Eisenhower was unwilling and did not dare to give up his command.

Once the command is given up, if it is used as cannon fodder by the southern Africans or the British, then Eisenhower, let alone a smooth transition, will not be liquidated after the war.

Compared with southern Africa and the United Kingdom, the Free France is relatively weak. Eisenhower tried to defeat each of them, but he did not expect to be defeated by de Gaulle. De Gaulle can give up the command of the Free French Army, but not to Essen Howell.

"You're right, it's time to end the state of dividing the battlefield." Eisenhower was extremely confident, and his best work was in the office.

This is actually Eisenhower's fatal flaw. He has never served as a military officer of any army, and has always been active on the battlefield as a staff officer. From this perspective, he is not even as good as Montgomery, let alone experience Absolutely rich Barton.

In 1915, when Eisenhower had just graduated from West Point Military Academy, Patton had already followed Rock to fight in Europe, and Montgomery was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal as a platoon leader because of his bravery in combat.

So Eisenhower is not good at commanding operations, he is better at handling office work, a standard civilian officer.

Sadly, only civilian military officers would have the true trust of Washington, and pure soldiers like MacArthur and Patton Jr. could only be sidelined.

Establishing a joint command was not an easy task. Eisenhower worried that the U.S. military would be used as cannon fodder. Patton and de Gaulle also had the same concerns. Montgomery didn't care. He didn't care about the loss of British and Indian troops, but he was also unwilling to hand over command authority, and is also interested in the position of commander of the coalition forces.

This is obviously a delusion. As outstanding as Roque, during the last world war, the highest position was only the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force. The commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces has always been French, and even Roque had no chance.

Although the "Commander of the Allied Forces" at that time was more of an honorary position, this is enough to prove the strength of the land power country in the army.

According to Eisenhower's method, whichever country has the most troops should be the commander-in-chief. I am afraid that the Russians are the most qualified.

Compared with the issue of the command of the Allied Forces, the mission of the "Halsos" squad is not worth mentioning. When Roque met Roosevelt, the two had a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter. Things just don't exist the same.

"Is your body okay now?" Rock was worried about Roosevelt's health. He couldn't remember the year Roosevelt died, as if the last term of office had not been completed.

"As big as a cow!" Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair, trying to show Rock his non-existent biceps.

Winston looked happy and laughed, but his laughter was dry.

Probably starting from the Casablanca Conference, Winston found sadly that the British Empire had unknowingly fallen into a weak position compared with southern Africa and the United States. This feeling made Winston very strange.

This feeling reached its peak in the Tehran meeting, in which Russia joined.

"The last time we met, the prospects were not clear enough. Now we are absolutely sure that victory will belong to us. I propose to toast the victory of Operation Overlord!" Roosevelt was also very happy. His physical condition was indeed not optimistic. The president not only It's a mental job, but it's also a physical job.

Like Rock, Roosevelt's schedule was full every day, and there was no free moment, and the meal time was dedicated to work.

Rock has never stopped exercising for so many years, so he can persist until now.

Roosevelt was paralyzed in bed 20 years ago, and he became president ten years ago. It is a miracle that he can persist until now.

"I never doubted this. From the moment the Germans tore up the "Munich Agreement", I foresaw this day coming." Winston's belief was extremely firm.

"I've quit drinking—" Rock took the initiative to accept the health doctor's advice, which was right from the experts.

But it didn't affect the atmosphere of celebration. After a simple exchange of pleasantries, they finally got to the point.

"In order to avoid the risk of a new round of war in Europe in the future, we must reduce or even stop all material support to Russia, and we must be prepared to lose everything. Russia has a record in this regard—" Wen Si Dayton is obsessed with the $7.5 million that Russia wasted.

There is no love for no reason, and no hatred for no reason. Winston's hatred of Russia has a lot to do with Russia's 7.5 million pounds.

After all, in the last World War, Winston was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. After Russia repudiated that account, someone must be responsible for it.

"If Russia wants to embrace a civilized society, it must learn to deal with problems in a civilized way." Roosevelt is not worried, and Russia will most likely not renege on its debts this time.

20 years ago, Russia could live behind closed doors and not deal with European countries. Even if it was excluded from "civilized society", it could live a good life.

Things are very different now than they were 20 years ago.

Not to mention Russia 20 years ago, the United States did not join the League of Nations out of self-interest considerations, so the United States has no position to blame Russia.

This time the United States will definitely take the initiative to embrace a "civilized society", and Russia will not isolate itself, so the Russians will definitely pay back the money. Maybe the bearded man will return the 7.5 million to the British on impulse.

"Russia paid a huge price for defeating Germany, and we should give Russia enough respect—" Rock faced up to Russia's contribution, and raised his hand to stop Winston who wanted to speak: "—this is also to reduce a new round of war in Europe Since we want to resolve our differences peacefully, we should first bring in the Russians and give them a chance to talk."

Winston's attitude towards Russia is very dangerous. Now that Russia has become red-eyed, if it is specially targeted again, the result will be hard to say.

"Yes, we should indeed give Russia enough respect. This has nothing to do with the threat of the Russians." Roosevelt was righteous, and it seemed that he was indeed ready to lead the world.

"Whatever you want, anyway, the United Kingdom is unable to provide any more assistance to Russia. We have exhausted all our energy." Winston simply acknowledged the strength of southern Africa and the United States.

Southern Africa and the United States have money and are willing to continue to provide assistance to Russia, and Winston has nothing to do with it.

Anyway, the UK doesn't give it.

"Don't worry about Winston, Southern Africa will always be consistent with the United Kingdom." Rock still cared about the feelings of his old friend.

Of course, this depends on how you understand it. When the interests of southern Africa and the interests of the United Kingdom do not conflict, southern Africa will definitely maintain the same position as the United Kingdom.

Once there is a disagreement, it must still be the national interest.

"Why can't we find a way to eliminate the potential threat of war?" Roosevelt seemed to have a plan, which was to turn hostility into friendship.

Ideological conflicts are actually not impossible to mediate. Isn’t Russia now in the same camp as southern Africa, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

On the contrary, Germany, a "democratic country", has become the birthplace of troubled world.

Japan and the United Kingdom are still feudal countries that maintain the feudal system, and they are not fighting each other now.

So at any time, ideology is not the root cause of hostility.

Only a conflict of interest is.

Rock was intrigued by Roosevelt's proposal.

Winston couldn't hold his breath, and took the initiative to attack: "What's your opinion?"

"That's the real reason we're going to St. Petersburg." Roosevelt's words disappointed Rock and Winston.

Really just listen to what you say, just a word.

Rock thought Roosevelt had a good idea, but who knew it was just a trick.

"We can't underestimate the ambitions of the Russians. In 1939, the Russians discussed with the Germans, Italians, and Japanese the plan to carve up the world. In the end, because the Russians had too much appetite, they couldn't reach an agreement—this time we Going to St. Petersburg, the Russians will probably bring up the old story." Winston knew his Russian cousin very well, and if Rock and Winston hadn't gotten sick at the right time during the Tehran meeting, the bearded man would have raised this issue in the Tehran meeting.

In the few days when Rock and Winston were ill, the Ottoman Republic was established at the speed of light. After Rock and Winston "recovered", everything was settled. In order to continue to fight for aid, the bearded man ate After this boring loss, the bearded man will definitely find his way back this time.

Not only the Black Sea estuary, but Russia will definitely require European estuaries, so that Russia can really get rid of its shackles.

As mentioned earlier, when European countries met in Berlin to carve up Africa, Russia did not participate.

This is not because Russia is so noble, but because Russia is trapped in the European continent due to lack of access to the sea, and cannot extend its tentacles to Africa, so it has to be absent.

If Russia gets access to the Black Sea and then expands the access to Europe, then Russia will turn into a submerged dragon, and it will turn upside down whatever it says.

"Considering the contribution of the Russians to the victory, we should meet the reasonable demands of the Russians." Rock sympathized with Russia on the surface, but in fact he also drew a line. It is naturally unreasonable not to satisfy.

"If Russia wants to get Germany's colonies in Africa, will you agree?" Winston pointed directly at Rock's Achilles' heel.

After the end of the last world war, Southern Africa took over Southwest Africa and Tanganyika. These two are still nominally A-level trusteeships of the League of Nations. Russia really has the possibility of making such a request.

However, this possibility is extremely slim. Southwest Africa and Tanganyika have now become four states in southern Africa. If the Russians really make such a request, then Rock has ten thousand ways to make Russia regret it.

So Rock was very calm: "Hehe, Russians can give it a try. Southern Africa is a fair country, and I am also a very fair person—"

As soon as these words were spoken, Winston and Roosevelt looked at Roque with dumbfounded smiles.

Regardless of whether Southern Africa is a fair country, if you, Locke, were a very fair person, Southern Africa would not be as powerful as it is today.

Roque is indeed fair to southern Africans.

But for the aborigines in southern Africa and the people of other countries, Roque is the devil.

"If Russia wants to expand its influence to the Pacific—" Winston transformed himself into a hedgehog, stabbing Roosevelt after Roque.

Roosevelt stopped laughing immediately.

The United States can accept a strong Russia, but only within the scope of Europe.

If Russia's strength breaks through Europe, it is also unacceptable to the United States.

This can explain why Winston is so afraid of Russia.

Because only Britain can feel the threat of Russia.

"We can't just give Russia no benefit at all—" Rock worried that the bearded man's self-esteem would be seriously stimulated if he didn't pull out any hair.

Although Rock didn't have much dealings with Big Beard, but from Big Beard's actions, it can be speculated that Big Beard should not be a very generous person, he is ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to his own people.

"You can't give nothing at all, and of course you can't give too much—" Roosevelt was also entangled. He hoped that Russia would become a threat, but it could not threaten the interests of the United States.

A strong Russia can guarantee Europe's dependence on the United States and southern Africa.

"Isn't it enough to recognize Russia as a normal country and integrate into the international community?" Winston is a real iron cock, and he doesn't pull a hair out.

Due to the decline in strength over the years, even if Britain wins people's hearts, it can only offer titles that are gimmicks but not practical.

For Russia, can it only pay lip service and not give any actual benefits?
Based on Roque's understanding of the bearded man, the bearded man would definitely not accept it.

"We can accept Russia's integration into the international community—" Roosevelt was halfway through.

The other half doesn't say it, which means they don't recognize Russia as a normal country.

It's very American.
