Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2640 No more $50

Asia has the largest population in the world. In this era of many people and great power, population represents unlimited potential, and no one wants to give up.

Rock is more aware of the potential of Asia, especially East Asia, so the bearded man wants to use the East Asian battlefield to threaten southern Africa. Rock is wishing that Russia would not intervene in East Asia.

The situation in the East Asian battlefield in this time and space is much better than in another time and space. Even without the participation of Russia, the East Asian allies can completely defeat Japan.

The reason why An Qi has not thrown out the super bomb that has arrived at the Changi Naval Base is because she is waiting for news from Berlin.

Before defeating Germany, the world's attention is focused on Berlin, and throwing the super bomb at this time will not achieve the intended purpose.

The super bomb should not only be used to strike Japan, but also to deter certain potential opponents. For southern Africa, the latter point is more important.

On the day Wei Delin signed the surrender order, Rock received news that the Japanese government was seeking unilateral negotiations with the United States, and the two sides had already started contact.

This is not surprising. When the League of Nations decided to impose a trade embargo on Japan, only the United States still maintained transactions with Japan. Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese, the United States is probably the most friendly country in the West to Japan.

Although the relationship between Japan and the United States deteriorated at the beginning of the war through the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the Bataan Death March, Roque believed that if the conditions offered by the Japanese were tempting enough, the United States would probably not refuse the Japanese request.

This is the difference between the United States and Russia.

In the later period of the Russo-German War, Germany also tried to negotiate with Russia. The bearded man's attitude was very firm. He did not accept any conditions from Germany and had to surrender unconditionally.

The Americans have no bottom line, especially within the Allied Forces in East Asia, where the Southern African Expeditionary Force is dominant and the U.S. military is at a disadvantage. In order to gain as much benefit as possible, the United States really has the possibility of negotiating with Japan.

"The representative of the Japanese government, Nomura Yoshizaburo, has arrived in Hawaii. It was MacArthur who contacted Japan on behalf of the United States. MacArthur himself was behind this matter. He was probably stimulated by the European battlefield and urgently needed to increase his influence in the United States." Alvin and Gavin came to see Rock together, and the behavior of the US side was no different from betrayal.

As early as during the Casablanca Conference, the leaders of the Allied countries made the decision that the Axis countries must surrender unconditionally and promised not to engage in unilateral contact with the Axis countries.

In subsequent meetings, the point of unconditional surrender was repeatedly emphasized.

The United States is now unilaterally engaging with Japan, which is tantamount to betraying its allies.

As for MacArthur, he was probably stimulated by the surrender of Germany, which is why he promoted negotiations with Japan. If the East Asian War can be ended peacefully, then the reputation of MacArthur will also be greatly improved.

The Allied forces on the Western Front could not intervene in the Battle of Berlin, which was described by Eisenhower as a forced decision to save the lives of [-] Allied troops.

If Japan surrenders to the United States, then MacArthur can also take all the credit for himself. As for the facts, no one pays attention at all.

In other words, the U.S. government has the ability to convince Americans that all decisions made by the U.S. government are for the United States.

"Has MacArthur decided to run?" Rock's impression of MacArthur is still at the stage of the governor-general in the Philippines, and he is really not clear about MacArthur's political ideals.

The key point is that MacArthur's performance in the last general election was so poor that he did not attract the attention of Southern Africa at all. Therefore, it is normal for MacArthur to be ignored. It is not a cat or a dog, and everyone is entitled to the attention of Southern Africa.

In the military field, MacArthur has made some achievements.

In the political field, MacArthur is a standard amateur. He failed even the Republican primary election, which shows the bottom of MacArthur's popularity in the United States.

MacArthur felt good about himself. The last failure not only did not make MacArthur retreat, but inspired MacArthur's competitive spirit. He planned to make a comeback four years later and fight hard.

It's not right, it's not been four years, and from now on, there are only two years left.

This can explain why MacArthur was in such a hurry that he couldn't even wait for a few weeks.

Wait any longer, and when the super bomb in southern Africa explodes in Japan, all the attention will be focused on the expeditionary force in southern Africa, and who will care what MacArthur is doing.

"Yes, he has set up a campaign team and started raising campaign funds in the United States and the Philippines—" Alvin's face was full of sarcasm.

Does the campaign fund thing still need to be raised?
For Alvin, if he wants to participate in the southern African general election, then there is no need to worry about the campaign funds at all. All he needs is for Alvin to let the wind out, and those who take the initiative to donate will break Alvin's threshold.

Even if Alvin has no chance of winning.

As Alvin, even if all the donations are in vain, he can still get what he wants in return from Alvin.

For members of the Locke family, money is the last thing to worry about.

"Did the Americans put forward conditions?" Rock didn't care about the US election. Anyway, no matter how he counted, it would not be MacArthur's turn.

On the contrary, Eisenhower will become the future president of the United States, so Rock is still very concerned about Eisenhower.

Leaving aside other things, once Eisenhower becomes the president of the United States, Eisenhower's views on southern Africa will directly affect the relationship between the United States and southern Africa.

So from now on, everything about Eisenhower, including personal preferences, family members, social networks, etc., will be the subject of investigation by Brad's office.

"MacArthur's condition is still an unconditional surrender." Rock can not care about MacArthur, but Alvin can't ignore it. The dignified US governor in the Philippines and commander-in-chief of the US military in the Pacific are still very high on the monitoring list of Brad's office. .

Rock tapped the table with his fingers and said nothing. MacArthur was still reasonable and didn't go too far.

Of course, this may also be a deception. Negotiations, asking for prices and paying back the money, as long as they can be negotiated, there will be discussions.

It is also "unconditional surrender", but the content is different.

Russia's "unconditional surrender" is to put down its arms, wash its neck and stick it out, to be slaughtered.

There is much more that can be done about the "unconditional surrender" of the United States.

Forgiveness is a virtue. The Japanese have already surrendered. In order to ease the hostility of the Japanese, it is not appropriate to conduct a thorough liquidation of the Japanese ruling class to avoid triggering a collective confrontation among the Japanese.

"Nomura Yoshisaburo—" Rock said the name softly.

Gavin didn't react for a while, Alvin's eyes were unusually bright.

That's why Rock put Alvin in charge of Brad's office.

There are some things Gavin really can't do.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Yoshizaburo Nomura was the Japanese ambassador to the United States.

When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, it calculated the time in advance and launched an attack on Pearl Harbor after Yoshizaburo Nomura delivered an ultimatum to the US government.

As a result, due to traffic jams on the road, Yoshizaburo Nomura arrived at the office of US Secretary of State Hull 10 minutes later than the scheduled time. At this time, the battle for Pearl Harbor had already started 10 minutes ago.

After the declaration of war, Yoshizaburo Nomura and the U.S. ambassador to Japan were placed under house arrest, and they were exchanged with a third party in 1942.

Yoshisaburo Nomura is an admiral of the Japanese Navy. He graduated from the Japanese Naval Academy and participated in the Russo-Japanese War. Undersecretary, etc.

In 1932, Yoshisaburo Nomura served as the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet and participated in the war of aggression against China. In April of the same year, he was bombed and blinded by the assassinated king.

Yoshizaburo Nomura was very low-key when he arrived in Hawaii. His itinerary was closely protected by the US side. After arriving in Hawaii, Yoshizaburo Nomura and his entourage stayed in a hotel arranged by the US side, accepted the protection of the US Marine Corps, and waited for a reply from the US government.

The contact between MacArthur and the Japanese government was not authorized by the U.S. government, so Yoshisaburo Nomura had to wait for the consent of the U.S. government in Hawaii before the negotiations could officially begin.

Hawaii is not yet a state of the United States. It is located deep in the Pacific Ocean and consists of 132 islands with a land area of ​​1.67 square kilometers. has an important strategic position.

The hotel where Yoshizaburo Nomura stayed is located in Honolulu, Oahu, the city which is also the largest city in Hawaii.

The hotel is closely guarded by the U.S. Marine Corps. The entire hotel was taken over by the U.S. Pacific Command. Only Yoshisaburo Nomura and his party stayed in. All the hotel staff were sent by the Pacific Command. The surrounding streets were blocked to protect Nomura. For the safety of Ji Saburo, MacArthur even transferred armored vehicles.

Kenny Barnard, a lieutenant in the [-]th Division of the United States Marine Corps, was transferred from his company to be responsible for the safety of Yoshizaburo Nomura.

"The purpose of joining the army is to kill the Japanese, not to protect the damned Japanese—" Barnard's partner, Second Lieutenant Lewis, looked at the hotel where Yoshizaburo Nomura was staying across the street, with a resentful tone.

MacArthur's reputation is mixed, and this is the reason. Don't look at MacArthur as the commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Theater. There are quite a few people in the US military who hate MacArthur. When communicating in private, it is very rude to mention MacArthur.

MacArthur can promote negotiations with Japan in order to accumulate political prestige.

Ordinary American soldiers have no lofty ideals. They just want to avenge the American troops killed in Pearl Harbor and Bataan.

Now that Germany has surrendered and the Allied forces in East Asia have invaded the Japanese mainland, countless American soldiers embrace the ideal of revenge and hope to go to Japan to fight. At this time, MacArthur wants to negotiate with the Japanese. One can imagine the mood of those upright American soldiers.

"If the Japanese can surrender unconditionally, then the result will be good. Revenge, you can take your time—" Barnard was not in a hurry. After Japan surrendered unconditionally, it would be better to let the Americans make the rounds as they said. Squeeze it. Squeeze it.

"I just want to take out my gun and walk into the hotel and kill that one-eyed man with one shot. If I do this, will I be sent to a military court?" Louis is eager to try, Nomura Yoshizaburo may be within reach of Louis, The highest ranking Japanese official.

The key is that the opportunity is rare.

Yoshisaburo Nomura is an admiral of the Japanese Navy.

If Louis kills Yoshizaburo Nomura, then Louis will become a hero, which is still very tempting for Louis.

"Don't, I don't want to accompany you to court martial." Barnard knew that Louis was joking.

The war between the two countries has not yet come, what is the purpose of Nomura Yoshizaburo coming to Hawaii? If he is shot and killed by the U.S. military responsible for protecting them, the U.S. government will lose face.

When Krebs, the chief of the German army's general staff, met Chuikov, Chuikov didn't kill Krebs.

The United States can never be inferior to Russia.

"Whoever kills that guy, I'll pay him $50!" Lewis half-truthed, and $50 couldn't be more.

The American soldiers who were resting around burst into laughter, and the atmosphere inside the US military was quite good.

Hawaii has beautiful scenery and is a famous leisure resort. It is also located in the rear of the United States, so there is no need to worry about the Japanese fleet and bomber attacks, so this job is like a vacation, and all American soldiers are very relaxed.

Earning a salary in Hawaii is definitely easier than earning a salary in plague-ridden Japan.

$50 is not a lot, and the brave man has not yet appeared. An off-road vehicle with an American flag hanging on the front and a US military emblem sprayed on the hood drives over from a distance.

Barnard and Louis immediately entered the working state, jokes are jokes, and work attitudes must be correct.

Colonel Whitman Wright, MacArthur's adjutant on the off-road vehicle, did not approve of contacting the Japanese government. Unfortunately, his words were light and his suggestion was not adopted by MacArthur.

Whit Wright came to visit Yoshizaburo Nomura. Before the US government responded to Yoshizaburo Nomura, Whit Wright was in charge of Yoshizaburo Nomura's security work.

The hotel has three floors. Nomura Yoshisaburo lives in a suite at the end of the corridor on the third floor. Nomura Yoshisaburo and his entourage live on this floor. The second floor is vacant. The marines are on the first floor. They do not communicate with Japanese personnel on a daily basis touch.

This arrangement is also to protect Nomura Yoshizaburo's safety to the greatest extent.

You must know that among the American soldiers, there are quite a few people who want to kill Nomura Yoshizaburo, and some people are not worried about going to a military court. Anyway, the probability of being sentenced to death is extremely low.

At the stairs on the third floor, the staff on duty were sent from the Pacific Command. Whit Wright chatted casually with the staff on duty, and after learning that everything was normal, he knocked on the door of Yoshizaburo Nomura's room.

For a long time, no one in the room responded.

Whit Wright was patient, and after another minute, no one opened the door.

Whitman's expression changed suddenly, and he kicked the door open with a flying kick.

The room was tidy, and Yoshisaburo Nomura was lying on the sofa as if he had fallen asleep.
