Reborn South Africa as a police officer

The most commendable thing about de Gaulle is that he has not been polluted by the harsh political environment in France until now.

The reason why Rock was able to make big moves in southern Africa was because southern Africa had just been independent for ten years. Except for Cape, it was a blank slate, and with the foundation laid by Kitchener and Philip, Rock could make a big difference. According to Transform Southern Africa of your own will.

France is still the same France where the prime minister was dismissed at the slightest disagreement. Before de Gaulle went to North Africa, he was a pure political amateur. In North Africa, the military power was in hand and government orders prevailed. In France, this method will not work. French politicians may be the best at infighting in the world. of.

Compared with de Gaulle, Renard has rich experience. He was used to dealing with politicians before the outbreak of the war. He became the richest man in France by virtue of his relationship with southern Africa. Members of parliament are not afraid of de Gaulle, but they have to give some points to Renard, the richest man. face.

If de Gaulle lost his military power, he would lose everything.

Even if Renard is not the prime minister, he is still the richest man in France.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. De Gaulle's understanding of this is not even as deep as that of Leonard.

So the first thing de Gaulle did after returning to Paris was to liquidate.

The first thing Renard did after returning to Paris was to supplement the pension for the World War I veterans.

High judgment.

Back at the Elysee Palace, Leonard saw the telegram from Eisenhower.

Originally, the Elysee Palace was the French presidential palace, and the Matthion Palace was the prime minister's palace.

After de Gaulle came to Paris, in order to express his break with the Vichy government, he made the Matignon Palace his official residence, and Renard could only work in the Elysee Palace.

"What do the Americans mean? Are you going to fight with Southern Africa?" Leonard was not very happy. It is too shameless to ask for such a thing as a territorial gift.

This matter can be big or small, with jewels from southern Africa and Canada in front, it seems normal to give the United States an enclave. After all, the US military has made great contributions in Cherbourg and Saint-Lo.

Half of the Allied casualties during the French operations were contributed by the U.S. military.

However, voluntary giving and begging are always two different things, and judging from Eisenhower's meaning, if the United States is given a piece of wasteland, the Americans will probably not be satisfied.

Eisenhower expressed great interest in Dunkirk in the telegram.

"Dunkirk has become a disgrace to us, and it doesn't matter if it is given to the Americans." Leonard's aide, Christian, doesn't care. Dunkirk is right next to Saint Roch, and it would be exciting if it was given to the United States.

Regardless of how the British whitewashed it, the Dunkirk retreat was a shame to the British and French allied forces, especially the French army that was coerced to retreat to the UK. Now there are still some French troops staying in the UK to protect the UK.

Nima France has recovered, and the British government has left part of the French army in the UK. This is simply deliberately humiliating France.

"How can it be okay? Do you know how many French people immigrated to Southern Africa through Saint-Roch these years?" No matter how good Leonard's relationship with Southern Africa is, there is always a limit.

Christian fell silent.

In 1913, there were 4146 million people in France, and in 1936, there were 4190 million people in France.

For more than 30 years, the French population has only increased by hundreds of thousands. Is it because French women are unwilling to have children? …

No, in order to increase the population growth rate, the French government has gradually relaxed restrictions on African immigrants, and naturally attaches great importance to the population growth rate in France.

The birth rate in France is actually not low. The reason why the population has not increased is because there are not many births, and a large part of them have gone to southern Africa.

Who made the Southern African Expeditionary Force mainly fight in France during the First World War?

At the end of World War I, there were tens of thousands of French women who followed the officers and soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force to Southern Africa. These were live advertisements.

Only southern Africa draws blood, and France can hold on.

If the United States is added to this, the population of France may experience negative growth in the future.

"This matter is not in a hurry now. If Washington doesn't make this request, we don't know about it." Leonard dealt with it coldly, and Eisenhower only discussed the possibility of this matter with Washington, and did not directly inform Leonard. Send a telegram.

As for why this telegram appeared on Leonard's desk.

Let's not forget that Eisenhower lived on Leonard's estate.

Putting the Americans aside in advance, Renard's next task is to ensure that the French can survive the winter smoothly.

This task is not easy. As mentioned earlier, the current situation in France is too bad. Even with the [-] million rand brought back by Leonard, it is just a drop in the bucket.

[-] million rand looks like a lot, but for tens of millions of French people, even one lunch is not enough. Fortunately, Renard is very smart, and Roosevelt can follow the example of southern Africa in doing work-for-work relief. The current situation in France , Relief with work is obviously also very appropriate.

The point is to keep all French people busy.

As long as people have nothing to do, they will think wildly, especially the free and undisciplined French. When they have work, they go on strike every now and then. If they have no work and no food, they can't rebel.

Leonard studied southern Africa more thoroughly than Roosevelt.

Didn't de Gaulle worry about the 70 resistance army? With so many people opening their bellies, they could indeed bankrupt the French government.

France is in urgent need of reconstruction now. These 70 people are all adult males with strong labor force. De Gaulle's rehabilitating these people back home is absolutely wasteful in Renard's view.

In the process of building the country in southern Africa, the engineers played a huge role.

In other words, engineering soldiers are cheap workers. How expensive it is to contract a project to a construction company, but entrusting it to an engineering soldier is absolutely high quality and cheap. If you can get a medal for a good job, it will be even more exciting.

Leonard was originally the largest businessman in France, and he had countless professional managers under him. These professional managers became Leonard's personal envoys and went to the country to carry out reconstruction work.

In Cherbourg, the largest port city in northern France, 80.00% of the buildings in this city collapsed due to the war. The mines laid by the German army in the port have not been cleared yet, and a British army is responsible for mine clearance.

The working attitude of this British army is obviously not positive enough. They do not have professional mine-sweeping boats, but only two trawlers for mine-sweeping, one of which is still unavailable due to a malfunction, which makes the entire mine-clearing work far away.

In charge of rebuilding Cherbourg was Leonard's most capable manager, Vincent. …

Vincent is a native of Marseilles. He had previously worked in a construction company under Leonard's name and participated in the construction of Saint-Roch, so he has a lot of experience in reconstruction work.

"So, we are no longer soldiers, but fucking coolies, just like those German prisoners of war!" Bloom, the leader of the resistance army from the small inland town of Saint-Rémy, was very angry. He and about [-] others [-] resistance troops were assigned to Cherbourg to take charge of the reconstruction of Cherbourg.

"How can you say that? Those German prisoners of war are still working waist-deep in the icy sea water, with only one piece of black bread per person every day, no salary, no bone broth, and not even a warm comfort. Until they die, our southern African allies will not let them return to Germany alive." Vincent tried hard to maintain a serious expression, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face no matter how hard he tried.

Some people in Paris probably suffered from Stockholm Syndrome. They actually said that when it was time for retribution, they should not treat Germany cruelly in the same way after World War I, and should be given treatment that matched the status and status of German prisoners of war.

This is simply nonsense, and the Germans themselves dare not say that.

If you want treatment that matches your status, then all German prisoners of war should be burned.

The crematorium should be the end of their lives.

The southern Africans did not deliberately treat the German prisoners of war harshly. Strictly speaking, this was requested by the Russians.

Three months before the outbreak of the Russo-German War, more than 60 Russian troops were captured by the German army.

During the war, more than 570 million Russian soldiers were captured by the German army.

With the improvement of the Russian battlefield, bad news continues to spread from prisoner-of-war camps around the country. According to incomplete statistics, there are no more than 200 million Russian prisoners of war who are still alive.

So the bearded man sent a telegram to the Allied leaders a long time ago, hoping that the Allied forces would hand over all German prisoners of war to the Russians.

deal with!

The word has never been so cold.

The Southern Africa Expeditionary Force will not hand over German prisoners of war to the Russians.

Of course, the German prisoners of war don't even think about getting treatment that matches their status with the Southern African Expeditionary Force. At least they have to wait until the end of the war before they have the opportunity to return to Germany.

If they are still alive by then.

"Do you really treat us the same as those damned Germans?" Adrian from Caen asked angrily. Caen also suffered heavy losses in the war. Adrian's family of 9 people is the only one who is still alive.

The whole of northern France suffered heavy losses in the war, especially the Normandy area, so the reconstruction work here is also the heaviest.

"How is it possible? Rebuilding the city is at least safer than fighting the Germans—" Vincent played both soft and hard ways, and asked you to do some work, so why not go to the Liege Fortress with the American soldiers.

"I'd rather fight the Germans!" Adrian was annoyed, neither of these options was very good.

"Listen to me, guys, Mr. Capet is thinking about you, that's why he let you participate in the reconstruction of Cherbourg." Vincent saw that the heat was about the same, and finally got to the point.

"How to say?" Adrian's brain is not very good, but he is definitely a good follower.

"You know that Cherbourg has suffered heavy losses. There are no residents in ten, and the city has been reduced to ruins—" Vincent was still expressing his feelings, and Bloom was impatient. …

"We all have eyes!"

"You do have eyes, but it's a pity that you never use them—" Vincent said with sarcasm, and explained before Bloom got angry: "—Cherbourg is the largest port in France. Fort will be restored to its former glory, and the city will be more beautiful and liveable than ever."

"What does this have to do with us?" Bloom's brain is really not working.

Adrian seemed to realize something, looking at the ruins in front of him thoughtfully.

"Of course it matters. When Cherbourg is rebuilt, you will be the masters of Cherbourg, and this city will belong to you—" Vincent Kang was passionate, opening his arms as if to embrace the whole world.

No, own the whole world.

This is too powerful.

Broome is from a small inland town, and Caen is a far cry from Cherbourg.

The key point is that Saint-Rémy does not belong to Bloom, and Caen does not belong to Adrian. Bloom was a vineyard worker before joining the Rebel Army, and Adrian was a baker.

Now they have the opportunity to become the owner of Cherbourg, the largest port city in northern France.

So what are you talking about, let's work!

The [-] rebels, plus [-] German prisoners of war, and the residents of Cherbourg who got out of nowhere after the battle, invested in the reconstruction of the city at the same time.

The logistics work in southern Africa is indeed in place. The ship arrived at Cherbourg the next day. Because the demining work at the port had not been completed, the ship was moored in the open sea, and the materials were sent ashore one by one by small boats.

Tents and cotton coats from southern Africa piled up like mountains, and there were countless tin cans of all kinds. The beef leg bone used for stewing soup was two feet long, and a hundred or ten tin buckets lined up was still very spectacular.

Urban reconstruction is all physical work, and soup is not enough. Both the resistance army and the prisoners of war need nutrition.

So the whole chicken, duck, and goose were chopped into large pieces and thrown into the pot to cook together. Various well-known and unknown spices were packed in bags and floated up and down with the thick soup.

The staple food is of course bread, but it is not the French baguette that can kill people in winter, but freshly baked steaming meat floss bread, which is matched with various traditional southern African oriental pastries, Italian pies, pizza, and The irresistible potato goulash, paired with a sip of southern African spirits that can ignite the whole person, it seems that hard work is not unacceptable.

"After the reconstruction work is completed, I want a big house facing the sea. There is a garden in front of the house, a lawn and a swimming pool in the backyard. I want to raise two dogs and a horse. I will ride the horse and lead the dog to hunt in winter. I’m going to save up to buy the coolest motorcycle and marry a hot Italian woman!” Every night, Bloom and Adrian are in the tent thinking about the future.

The weather is getting colder and colder recently, but people's motivation is getting higher and higher. The ruins around Cherbourg have been cleaned up and they are heading to the core city.

At this time, the difficult work had just begun. When the U.S. Army conquered Cherbourg, it fought a brutal tug-of-war with the Germans in the core urban area. Hundreds of U.S. tanks were destroyed in the urban area, and countless corpses were still buried in the ruins. It is only now that the weather is cold, so there is no large-scale disease.

"Then you have to work hard to make money, I heard that Japanese women are the best women in the world—" Adrian didn't know where he heard the strange talk.

Is it the group of Japanese women who relied on prostitution to raise funds for the Meiji Restoration?

They are great indeed, but never fit to make a good wife.

"What about you, what are your plans?" Bloom hoped to get some inspiration from Adrian.

"I'm going to southern Africa." Adrian was not stupid at all.
