Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2543 Bloodletting Therapy

Chapter 2543 Bloodletting Therapy
During the Battle of Budapest, the Germans had been strengthening the defenses of Vienna.

The German army defending Vienna is the German "South" Army Group led by Admiral Waller. This army group was established to attack Poland. At the beginning, it had 63 troops. Now after a series of wars, the remaining troops are only about 15. .

The main force of the "South" Army Group was basically buried in the Battle of Volgograd, and then suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Kursk. Vienna is no accident, and it should be the last battle of the "South" Army Group.

Compared with the German army, the Russian 2nd and 3rd armies, which finally won Budapest after three months of hard work, are in full swing, so Malinovsky is not bragging. Even without the help of the ground troops of the Fifth Army, Malinovsky Novsky is also sure to beat Waller.

Of course, the Russians are still in great need of ground troops and air assistance from the Allied Forces.

Is this strategy familiar? In the early days of the North African campaign, the British did the same.

After learning of Malinovsky's request, Arthur refused decisively. He did not want to help the Russians without committing ground troops, which meant that the Fifth Army would gain nothing.

The news was sent back to Pretoria, and Rock sent a telegram to Arthur, hoping that Arthur would change his mind and cooperate with Malinowski.

Arthur didn't quite understand. He didn't communicate much with Roque in the telegram, but took the plane directly to Pretoria and asked Roque in person.

This is the first time Arthur has returned to Pretoria after 43 years. Gavin went to the airport to pick him up, and the two took the same car to the Palace of Justice.

"It's not appropriate for the two of us to ride in the same car—" Arthur joked in the car. He and Gavin actually have a good relationship, and they weren't too awkward when they were together.

After all, they are brothers——

Although it is not legally recognized, let's just count it like this, anyway, it is a common thing in big families, and it is not new.

However, Arthur and Gavin are relatively dedicated to their relationship. They have been married for so many years and have no romantic affairs. This is thanks to Rock's strict requirements on the children.

"Then how about I change the car?" Gavin laughed and cooperated. One of them is the Viscount of Cyprus of the British Empire, and the other is the "appointed" successor of the Southern African Federal Government. For safety reasons, they really can't take a car. car.

Of course, few people abide by these rules. Rock and Winston once flew from Pretoria to London on the same plane.

"I thought Cyprus was developing fast enough, but every time I go back to Pretoria, I will have new feelings—" Arthur couldn't help but sigh, there is really no comparison between Cyprus and Pretoria.

The key to Cyprus is its good geographical location, not far from the European continent, the climate is also very suitable, there is no threat of war, the environment is not bad, education and medical care are very developed, so after the outbreak of the World War, many people from European countries went to Cyprus, And most of them are rich.

Only the rich can have more choices in the face of disaster.

Similarly, only the truly rich will not abandon everything and immigrate directly to the United States or southern Africa. People in Cyprus are still looking forward to returning to their own country to enjoy the privileges brought by wealth after the war is over.

This is also the main reason why Arthur came to see Rock this time.

According to Rock's request, Arthur should cooperate with the Russians to take Vienna without sending ground troops.

However, if the ground forces do not intervene, even if Vienna is won, it has nothing to do with the Southern African Expeditionary Force. The government established in the future will definitely be inclined to Russia. There is a high probability that it will directly copy the Russian model in Austria. Those who expect to return to China after the war is over to continue What about the guys with entitlements?
"Cold salad——" Gavin will not pity those guys, this is the standard fat sheep: "Isn't it good to keep their wealth in Cyprus? If our relationship with Russia is getting worse because of these things, it's just It's what the British and Americans want."

Arthur frowned, silently watching the bustling city outside the window without speaking.

When the airport was built in Pretoria, it was tens of kilometers away from the urban area in consideration of urban expansion.

It seems that the Pretoria city government still underestimated the speed of urban expansion. The airport has now been connected to the urban area and has become a part of the urban area.

Cyprus also developed rapidly during the World Wars, almost doubling its population.

"I'm also very worried now. If this continues, we may have a direct conflict with Russia, and it might be World War III—" Arthur didn't know what to do, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Belgium Letoria asked Roque for advice.

"The Russians have the same worries as us—" Gavin was more confident.

This is also normal. No matter how prosperous Cyprus is, its own plate is so big, and the room for development is limited after all.

Southern Africa is different. Like Russia, the biggest confidence is that the strategic depth is large enough. Any country that wants to fight Russia must consider Russia's area and weather. mistakes.

More desperate than strategic depth and weather is industrial capability.

The only thing that can make southern Africa feel threatened is the United Kingdom and the United States. These two have to be added together to form an ocean-going fleet that makes the southern African navy feel slightly threatened.

It is only slightly felt that if a war starts, the long supply line is enough to make everyone desperate. Although there are no battleships that can be used in southern Africa, the technology of aircraft carriers and submarines is still very advanced.

As for Russia—

Sorry, with Russia's current level, at most it can dominate the European continent, and it is a dream to threaten southern Africa.

It doesn't even require southern Africa to take action. With the current level of France's navy, Russia can be locked in the Black Sea.

So backed by Southern Africa, Gavin really has much more confidence than Arthur.

Rock is more confident, because he knows where the limits of the Russians are.

The world war has been fought so far, and both parties involved in the war are a little bit helpless. Rock actually doesn't want to fight. It would be great to make money happily. Why fight life and death? The future of mankind is in the starry sky——

The Federal Government of Southern Africa has actually been adjusting since last year, gradually shifting its focus from war to construction.

If you don't make adjustments, there are so many military enterprises now, if you don't make preparations, they will go bankrupt after the war is over.

The Johannesburg Textile Group said that without the orders from the Ministry of Defense, it can still produce civilian orders. People have to wear clothes and eat when they are alive.

What about so many arsenals that produce bullets and shells?
There are four incendiary bomb factories in southern Africa dedicated to consumption by the Allied forces in East Asia, with a total of more than 4 workers. If incendiary bombs are not needed in peacetime, what should these workers do?

So you have to be prepared now to avoid being caught off guard. In another time and space, after the end of World War II, an economic crisis broke out.

The countermeasure Rock is preparing is to adjust the direction and transform the military industry into a civilian industry. Europe has suffered so badly, and it will start a long reconstruction period after the war, so southern African workers don’t have to worry about unemployment. The general directions are similar, the difference is that one is made stronger, and the other is made more likely to explode.

"As long as they control the outlet of the Black Sea, the threat the Russians can pose is extremely limited, at least they cannot threaten Cyprus—" Rock's heart is harder than Gavin's. Great powers can't care about a moment and a place when it's time to make concessions. You have to give in, don't be ashamed.

Same as Gavin's reasoning, the Allied Forces are not in harmony. If a conflict breaks out with Russia in southern Africa, the British and Americans will be the happiest.

Don't listen to the British shouting, the former British Empire has been abolished. Just look at the current Western Front and you will know that the British just want to cheer, and there are not many troops sent to the European continent. They obviously hope that southern Africa and the United States will be the main force Fighting Germany is exactly the same as the original disaster.

As for after the war, who has more influence in Europe, Britain, southern Africa or the United States.

The British don't care. They never really owned Europe. They have been messing with each other for many years. They used to find a balance between Germany and France. Now they are in southern Africa and the United States and Russia. There is no difference in essence.

"The Russians have always wanted us to withdraw from Buda and hand over Buda to the provisional government established by the Russians—" Arthur was not reconciled. If they could all back down, why would the Southern African Expeditionary Force fight to the death.

In the Battle of Budapest, although the loss of the Southern African Expeditionary Force was small, it was also in exchange for the lives of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

"If the Russians can withdraw from Pest, then we can also withdraw from Buda. The matter of the Hungarians will ultimately have to be resolved by the Hungarians themselves." ", a bloody battle with Russia.

The point is that it is not worth it, and Hungary is not the core interest of southern Africa.

As for whether Russia will fight with southern Africa because of Hungary, it's hard to say. The character of the bearded man cannot be summed up in one sentence.

Call him cruel, he has the same attitude towards his own son, the Russians sacrificed tens of millions in the war, and the bearded man also sent his son to the battlefield, this point is not mentioned by others, Roque himself did not do it arrive.

On this point, Rock still admires the bearded man.

The British princess also served in the army during the war, but she has always served in the British mainland. She has never been to the front line, not even to North Africa.

The bearded man directly sent his son to the front line, which is really impossible for ordinary people to do.

"In that case, our Hungarian interests may suffer serious losses—" Arthur himself had no confidence in the group of Hungarians he fostered.

How do you say about democracy and freedom? If you say it’s okay, it’s actually a way that the power class came up with to fool the people. Look at the politicians in the United Kingdom and the United States, and which one is really from the civilian class?

It's all packaged to deceive people.

Although Russia does not have the so-called "democracy and freedom" in the British population, ordinary people in Russia really have the opportunity to go to high-end sanatoriums next to the Black Sea for vacation. If British civilians want to go to suburban villas for vacation on weekends, you have to have it too.

Therefore, those who enjoy the smog in the foggy London in winter are ordinary British civilians, and the real dignitaries live in suburban manors with good air, so they don’t care about removing the smog.

"Arthur, at least for now, Russia is not our enemy, Germany and Japan are—" Rock reminded Arthur not to be too harsh on his own people.

Speaking of lost profits.

Since the outbreak of the war in southern Africa, aid to Russia has amounted to tens of billions of rand. If this is to be turned around, will the Russians pay back the money?

Don't even think about it, look at how the Russians reneged on their debts after the end of the last world war, look at how the British fooled the Indians time and time again, and look at how the United States promoted the Monroe Doctrine.

It's not that there is no good person, but the probability of a bad person is too high.

Therefore, compared with the money from Southern Africa to aid Russia, the resources invested in Hungary by Southern Africa are negligible. Rock does not want to see the Iron Curtain era repeat itself, but if it cannot be avoided no matter what he does, Rock can only accept it.

The key is to practice internal strength.

As long as southern Africa maintains its own strong strength, no matter how the old Europe acts as a demon or how the Angsa people fan the flames, southern Africa will remain invincible.

In addition to military conversion, the federal government of Southern Africa is planning to start a new round of large-scale infrastructure construction.

Infrastructure construction is very important at any time. The power supply in southern Africa has not yet reached the level of peace of mind, and the transportation facilities are far from the point where every village has roads. Most of the main roads between cities are two-way four-way roads. What about the driveway, isn't it fragrant with six lanes and eight lanes?
Xiang, the key is to have money.

When it comes to money, the federal government of Southern Africa really has no shortage. If the richest country in the world has no money, then other countries should simply stop playing.

"If Russia tries to expand its influence to the Mediterranean Sea, then we have to deal with it, and it's still far away—" Rock built a "firewall" around the Mediterranean Sea. This wall is not so easy to tear down.

In another time and space, Winston simply gave up Eastern Europe for the sake of Greece, and completely fulfilled Russia's wish to become a continental country, without giving up any maritime interests.

Rock also understood the importance of the ocean early on. Without a strong navy, he is really controlled by others everywhere.

"The Mediterranean Sea is not in southern Africa, so it is not our family's task to block Russia. You have to learn to use all available resources." Rock is playing a big game of chess. Who is most nervous about Russia breaking through the blockade?

Definitely not Southern Africa, but England and France, Italy.

Therefore, to resist Russia, all European countries really need to join forces. Relying on a certain country can only bloodlet Russia, and it is not even a matter of injury.
