Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2625

The United States is a short-sighted country. The so-called "those who do not plan for the whole world do not plan for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation do not plan for a region" probably describe the United States.

The rise of the United States has benefited from the sudden changes in the world situation. Without the catalysis of the two world wars, there would be no prosperity of the United States. Prosperity is bound to be short-lived and cannot last forever.

Southern Africa doesn’t need to weave shady plots. It only needs to tell the whole world what the United States has done, and it can arouse the disgust of the United States in the whole world—at least the old Europe.

Without the duplicitous attacks against Europe after World War II and the plundering of the Bretton Woods system, why would the United States become the international police of the future world?

Just kidding!
With Rock's southern Africa, the United States is doomed to be busy, and it is impossible to become the light of the world in the future.

Pretoria is full of vitality in the early morning. At the end of April and the beginning of May, the bignonia has not yet entered the flowering period, but the garden city has already bloomed with flowers, such as emperor flower, desert rose, jasmine, iris, etc., since the Transcendent 20 years ago Watts decided to position Pretoria as a tourist city. In recent years, Pretoria has become the most livable city in the world.

This "most livable city" is really not a gimmick, it was jointly evaluated by [-] most influential media in the world.

What is particularly gratifying is that in this list, cities in southern Africa occupy eleven of the top twenty and eight of the top ten, leading the list with an absolute advantage.

"Gentlemen, good morning—" Taylor, who had just joined the Southern Africa branch of The Times, greeted everyone warmly when he came to the office.

Taylor is a high-quality talent in the traditional sense. He graduated from the Technical University of Berlin, completed a master's degree at Nyasaland University, and then entered the "Times" Southern Africa branch to work. In just six months, Taylor stood out and worked as an intern among [-] people. He was the first student to get a formal position and is currently in charge of text editing.

"At nine o'clock, I will attend the plenary meeting of the editorial department. There will be a press conference of the expeditionary force at 10:30. You must attend. This is a request from the editor-in-chief—" Bruce, the assistant editor, took the initiative to greet him, and reported the work arrangement for the morning.

During the World War, the "Times" branch was extremely busy. In East Asia and Europe, the "Times" had a total of 170 military writers and photographers, and there were also hundreds of editors in charge of follow-up work.

"Is the war over?" Tyler handed the briefcase to Bruce, picked up a paper cup and went to fetch water first.

The benefits of "The Times" are very good. The editorial department provides various beverages including coffee, green tea, black tea, milk tea, cola, and even beer, and even ice cream and desserts. From this perspective, "The Times" does not even inferior to the Palace of Justice.

Bruce likes to drink green tea, which is a habit he developed after he came to southern Africa. When he was at the Technical University of Berlin, Bruce's favorite drink was coffee.

By the way, Bruce was von Braun's apprentice.

"Not yet, but it's just around the corner. The latest news is that sixteen Russian divisions have invaded Berlin. The troops under Marshal Zhukov can already see the German presidential palace. There are two breaking news today, one is the killing of Mustache , One is captured alive, and the specific situation is being checked." Bruce's expression is indescribable, such news happens every day.

Regarding Mustache, all kinds of news emerged one after another. A few days ago, there was even news that Mustache was captured alive in Remagen Town.

The "Times" is still very cautious. Unconfirmed news will never be published in the newspapers. The "Times" rarely publishes battle reports issued by the Russian military.

"Is there any news about East Asia?" Taylor had his own focus.

A few days ago, there was news that the East Asian Allied Forces had made a big move.

Although everyone kept secret about this news, Taylor still keenly felt that as time went by, this possibility was increasing day by day.

Regarding the super bomb in southern Africa, the media has been hyping it up for several months. The only doubt is whether it will be first used in East Asia or dropped in Berlin.

The super bombs in southern Africa are no longer a secret. The only question is how powerful the super bombs are. Is it true that a super bomb can easily destroy a city as the Southern African Ministry of Defense said.

For the sake of the war, the super bomb was applied to the battlefield, not only for the purpose of attacking the Axis powers, but also to warn some potential opponents.

If there is a third purpose, it is to determine the power of the super bomb.

Of course, the third point must be incidental. People's attention is more on the super bomb itself.

"Of course there is, but it may not be what you want. Just now, the expeditionary force and the US military jointly conquered Japan's important industrial city Daban—" Bruce answered the question. When the Russian army besieged Berlin, the southern African expeditionary force and the US military Not idle either.

After conquering Shimonoseki, the Allied forces continued to advance northward, capturing Hiroshima, Okayama, and Kobe one after another.

The Japanese government tried its best to organize resistance, but the overall strength gap was too great to achieve even the basic hysteresis effect. The Allied forces marched forward triumphantly and were invincible.

Contrary to what the Allies had imagined, the "[-] million pieces of jade" announced by the Japanese government is simply a scare. Except for a small number of Japanese troops who are slightly tenacious in fighting, most of the Japanese troops do not have a tenacious will to resist. It's far from Berlin.

One thing to emphasize is that among all the stubborn Japanese troops, those from colonial servants, such as small islands and peninsulas, had a particularly tenacious will to resist, even more tenacious than troops composed purely of Japanese.

This situation caught the Allied forces by surprise. According to Angie and MacArthur's estimation, the troops composed of purely Japanese should be more tenacious, and the colonial servants should be vain and obedient.

In reality, troops composed entirely of Japanese will often collapse across the board when the casualties reach 20.00%.

The colonial servant army can often persist in fighting even when the casualties reach 80.00%.

It is gratifying that An Qi was not in the mood to study the psychological state of the colonial servants. He ordered all the enemy soldiers who resisted to the end to be executed on the spot without leaving any legacy, thus reducing the greatest burden on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East after the war. .

"In the previous bombing, how many times did the Allied forces attack Osaka?" Taylor also tried to find news points.

Bruce was a little stunned, flipped through the documents in his hand for a while, and then had a strange expression.

"102 time!"

This--

The Allied bombing of Japan was no less intense than the Hamburg bombing. Every time hundreds of bombers were dispatched and thousands of tons of high-explosive incendiary bombs were dropped.

Today's Osaka, the city area is far less large than later generations, but the population density is not small. In the six major bombings from January 45 to April 1, 45 people were killed and 4 people were injured in Osaka.

Interestingly, in the bombing of Osaka, the number of casualties was not even as high as the death toll, which is worthy of attention.

Under normal circumstances, the number of deaths must be less than the number of injuries.

Now the number of injured is actually more than the number of deaths. Either the Japanese statistics are wrong, or the effect of the Allied bombing is beyond common sense.

Different people have different opinions, anyway, no matter what kind of situation it is, it is pleasant to hear and see.

"Is this number correct?" Taylor was surprised, 102 bombings, I am afraid that the sweet potatoes in Osaka have all become baked sweet potatoes.

"It should be correct—" Bruce nodded again and again to confirm that the data from the Southern African Ministry of Defense can still be trusted.

"Not only Osaka, Sakai City, the second largest city in Osaka Prefecture—the word is pronounced 'Sakai'—Sakai City was hit by 65 air raids in total, and the rest of Kishiwada and Umeyoshi were also hit by dozens of air raids. So much so that the Far Eastern Command asked the Air Force to pay attention to saving ammunition—" Bruce followed Taylor into Taylor's office, and put Taylor's briefcase on the file rack behind Taylor.

If de Gaulle had been present, de Gaulle would have been surprised that Taylor, a copy editor of The Times, had an office as large as that of de Gaulle, the French president.

In terms of purely comparing the office decoration, Taylor's office is even higher than De Gaulle's office.

It's just decoration.

If the cost of the office is calculated, then De Gaulle's office must be worth more than Taylor's office.

In De Gaulle's office, the most valuable thing is the world-famous paintings on the walls by famous artists.

Taylor's office focuses on relaxation, and there's even a golf course in the office, can you believe it?

Of course, on the fairways here, it’s okay to practice a putt or something, but it’s different from a serious golf course.

"Do you want to go to the Far East?" Taylor was unwilling to be lonely, and wanted to get first-hand information, so he still wanted to go to the front line.

"Me—" Bruce was dumbfounded.

"Yes, if you want, I will bring you with me when I apply." Taylor already had a complete plan.

"Of course, I am willing!" Bruce was very happy, and he also wanted to go to the front line in person.

This is mainly due to the propaganda of the Southern African Ministry of Defense.

The world war did not break out in southern Africa itself. Propaganda work is essential for thousands of young southern Africans to go to the oceans to fight in East Asia and Europe.

Fortunately, in East Asia, southern Africa, which is dominated by Chinese, does not need to mobilize to fight Japan. It only needs to describe the things that Japan did in East Asia. All southern Africans share the same hatred. The enthusiasm for enrolling in the army is called enthusiasm.

For the European battlefield, the Chinese in southern Africa have little interest.

Fortunately, Southern Africa is an immigrant country. There are many Chinese immigrants, and there are also many European immigrants. These European immigrants are eager to go to Europe to join the war. Even many Germans, in order to show their break with the Third Reich, did not hesitate to write blood books, demanding Go to Europe to fight.

Here you can see the difference between southern Africa and the United States and the United Kingdom.

After the outbreak of World War II, the United States and the United Kingdom set up concentration camps, and put all Germans into it, and did not give Germans a chance to participate in the war.

At the same time, all the personal properties of these Germans were confiscated, without any exception, so that the Germans in southern Africa had to appeal for the Germans in the United States and the United Kingdom, hoping that the US government and the British government would treat these innocent people well people.

this is the truth.

Many immigrants who were "gifted out" by Southern Africa went to the United States. These people hate Southern Africa the most. Every time there is negative news about Southern Africa, these people always charge forward.

What they didn't expect was that once Southern Africa and the United States were at war, they would be the first group to retaliate against the United States. Regardless of whether they were really loyal to the United States, they would all be regarded as victims of the war and the first batch of sacrifices to heaven. .

So these people better keep hoping that Southern Africa will be strong, or they'll lose all value and become lambs to the slaughter.

"Very well, get ready, we are about to go to East Asia." Taylor also can't wait, the news in East Asia is obviously greater than that in Germany.

Berlin, Germany was under siege, and the focus of the following reports was nothing more than the number of casualties on both sides and the speed of advancing the front.

Some things cannot be reported, such as the retaliation of Russian troops in Germany, or the Southern African Expeditionary Force, and the idleness of American and British troops in Hamburg.

Therefore, in general, East Asia is still the most cost-effective. If Taylor can get the news of the Allied forces using super bombs to attack Japan in the first place, then Taylor is very hopeful that Arphic will win the "Times Photo Awards" this year.

Speaking of the Times Photo Awards, this is part of a series of journalism awards organized by The Times.

How the so-called "authority" should be manifested is not just what you say. You have to continuously establish authority in the industry, guide the trend, make everyone yearn for it, and attract everyone to worship it.

Therefore, "The Times" not only has photography awards, but also text awards, short film awards, documentary awards, hot spots awards, etc., to meet the needs of different groups of people.

Don't get me wrong, the "different groups" here do not refer to readers, but practitioners.

Readers are not unimportant.

Instead it can be bootstrapped.

Therefore, "The Times" focuses on the practitioners. As long as it can be recognized by the practitioners, then the readers' thinking is not to make rounds as they please, and to flatten them as they please.

These awards of The Times are selected once a year and divided into three levels of "first, second and third". The prize money for the winners ranges from ten thousand rand to thirty thousand rand.

Among other things, the editors of "The Times" understood it purely from the aspect of hype.

"Can you go to Japan?" Bruce also has ideals. He wants to go to Japan to see for himself whether the Japanese are really as cruel and tyrannical as the legends say!
"Of course, the purpose of our trip to East Asia is Japan!" Taylor's purpose is more complicated than that of Bruce, who is a member of Brad's office.
