Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2694
Of the 50 prisoners of war, 44 managed to return to Japan alive, which is not a low proportion.

The number of Japanese prisoners of war is well documented, and neither Russia nor Japan concealed it, so the credibility is relatively high.

The number of German prisoners of war is confusing.

In the late period of the Great Patriotic War, Russia could capture [-] starting prisoners of war in each battle, and no one knew the exact number.

Last month, Russia announced a set of figures, saying that during the World War, Russia captured a total of about 430 million Axis prisoners of war.

This number is inaccurate. If all the prisoners released by Russia in previous battles are added up, then there are tens of millions of Germans captured by Russia.

In order to emphasize the glory of the Russian army, the Russian government often deliberately exaggerates its achievements and minimizes its own losses, so the figures announced by the Russian government are not credible.

The Axis prisoners of war captured by Russia before had a very high death rate due to the harsh working environment and poor living conditions.

After Russia realized the true value of the prisoners through the Japanese prisoners of war, the situation began to improve, and the treatment of the Axis prisoners of war also improved.

Angel can't control Russia. If the 700 million Japanese prisoners of war are used reasonably, they can generate huge value. Compared with the Russians, Australians are not qualified as managers.

"We are greatly improving the working and living environment of the captives. Now they have a warm house to live in, and they will not starve to death or freeze to death. Their work has also become easier and their efficiency has improved rapidly." Horton's words left Angie speechless.

In winter, the lowest temperature is more than ten degrees Celsius. Under what circumstances will people freeze to death?
food--

When the Japanese army was fighting, one rice ball could last a day, and the material requirements were very low. Australia had no shortage of food, and one rice ball a day was exchanged for a hard-working labor force without salary. I can settle the account.

As for the simpler work efficiency, under the management of the Australian supervisor, the captives who did not work hard were treated as consumables. The Japanese have a strong ability to adapt to the environment.

"You go to Tom, he will give you a reasonable solution." Angie is still very face-saving, Australians need to be appeased.

During the war, Australia faced a huge threat from Japan, so Australians abandoned Britain and approached southern Africa, because only southern Africa can give Australia a sufficient sense of security.

Now that the war is over and the threat is gone, the relationship between Southern Africa and Australia will enter a new era.

Don't forget that there is also the United States, which is eyeing covetously.

If southern Africa is still yelling at the Australians like it used to be, then the Americans will take advantage of it.

Major General Tom is in charge of the captive management in southern Africa. The old, weak, sick and disabled are removed from the 700 million prisoners of war. There are not many real strong laborers, and there are not enough people in southern Africa.

"Pretoria sent a telegram that a new round of large-scale infrastructure upgrades is about to start, and a large number of construction workers are needed. The more the better—" Tom's assistant, Lieutenant Colonel House, looked helpless, and local needs must be given priority satisfy.

Although the natural conditions in Southern Africa are superior, the environment is very complex, with mountains, lakes, rivers, swamps, deserts, and Gobi all there should be, and the requirements for infrastructure are very high.

The construction of Southern Africa is inseparable from the selfless contributions of foreign workers. In the past, Southern Africa was able to obtain the required labor force from neighboring countries at a low price. Now that there is free labor, there is no need to use it in vain.

There is no upper limit for infrastructure construction. The level of railways and roads in southern Africa is already very high, and the construction of highways has not kept up. When the southern African expeditionary force fought in Germany, the German highways left a lot deep impression.

Even Germany can build highways on a large scale, and there is no reason for Southern Africa to lag behind.

This time Southern Africa is not going to attract private capital into the highway sector, and the federal government is well positioned to do it alone.

Of course, that must be based on the premise that there are enough cheap workers.

Tom didn't meet Pretoria's request immediately, but began to figure out where to squeeze people out.

Although the number of prisoners of war was large and the demand was high, many of them were separated by the Americans. Tom's eyes were green with worry during this time, and he wished he could go to Japan to arrest them himself.

The Russians can use the Axis civilians as soldiers to work in Russia. They are also allies, so why not the Southern African Expeditionary Force?

Even if there is no one to catch in Japan, you can go to the peninsula or not. These places have been colonized by Japan for more than half a century. In order to reduce the colonial influence, it is necessary to carry out a thorough cleanup.

Among other things, those mixed-bloods who have relations with the Japanese, those spiritual Japanese who took the initiative to give themselves a Japanese name to join the servant army to fight overseas during the war, and received Japanese-style education since childhood, are deeply influenced by Japan. It is necessary for the guy who has been established to undergo a complete transformation, otherwise it will cause endless harm.

"10 people, at most 10 people, send those who are going to the Rhodesia Company and Nyasaland Company first--" Tom tore apart the east wall to make up for the west wall, and the Rhodesia Company is related to the federal government. Than, or the federal government is more important.

Every foreign war is a gluttonous feast for southern African capital, and the Rhodesia company has never been absent.

During the Second Boer War, South African Company, the predecessor of Rhodesia Company, was deeply involved. After Stoudemire took over the family business, he restructured the South African Company, and Rhodesia Company became one of the largest food companies in southern Africa.

In southern Africa, the only company that can be as famous as Rhodesia Company is Nyasaland Company under Rock's name.

"Nyasaland—" Lieutenant Colonel House expressed his deep concern. It's okay to offend Rhodesia, and if he offends Nyasaland——

Maybe his military career would come to an abrupt end.

"Do you think Mr. Gavin will pay attention to this kind of thing?" Based on Tom's understanding of Gavin, Gavin probably doesn't know about this matter.

Rock started to hire professional managers to manage the enterprises under his name a long time ago. Because there are too many assets under his name, making Rock to do everything himself can exhaust Rock to death. As a last resort.

After the decentralization of power, you only need to choose the right professional managers, and the company will not have major problems. After all, Rock is not completely indifferent, and the general direction still depends on Rock to decide.

In a few months, Roque will retire completely. Not only will he no longer serve as the Prime Minister of Southern Africa, but the company under Roque's name has also been handed over to the management of two brothers, Gavin and Alvin.

Gavin is not interested in doing business, and money is less attractive to him than embryos in the laboratory.

So now it is Alvin who is really in charge. Fortunately, the two brothers have a good relationship and have no intention of separating.

If the family business under Rock's name is separated, it will be a disaster. It is better to hand it over to someone to manage it. Anyway, members of the Rock family can receive living expenses from Nyasaland Bank every month, and there is no need to worry about money. Worry.

Holden rushed in at this moment, demanding someone under the banner of Angie.

"No, not a single one, not even one with missing arms or legs." Tom refused very simply.

"I want people to build the Darwin Port. Who is the Darwin Port for?" Holden said confidently.

Darwin Port was built during the war to meet the needs of the Indian Ocean Fleet, and there were inevitably flaws in the design. As time went on, the flaws were gradually magnified, and it was also facing renovation and upgrading.

Port expansion is hard work. In order to continue to be protected by the Indian Ocean Fleet, Australia is responsible for the expansion of Darwin Port.

Compared with another time and space, Australia's losses in this war were not heavy, at least the war did not spread to Australia itself.

But who would dislike too much free labor? Australians have never been far behind when it comes to fighting for their interests.

Even East India can take advantage of the dividends of the war to carry out a wave of infrastructure upgrades, and Australia does not want to miss this opportunity.

When mentioning Darwin Port, Tom was speechless.

Tom himself served in the Indian Ocean Fleet.

"There are still a group of captives from the peninsula that haven't been brought back. You can take people to the peninsula. As much as you can get back, it's all yours." Tom didn't have any prisoners for Holden, so it's okay to help think of a way.

Horton was overjoyed.

We all know that the price of captives is rising rapidly. Horton didn't expect much when he came to An Qi, but now it is a surprise. Japan has worked hard on the peninsula for half a century, and there are many benefits.

Horton was too happy, now the peninsula has been divided between the Americans and the Russians, which is as clear as Germany.

After Japan surrendered, the Russians and the Americans entered the peninsula almost at the same time. Since Russia was held back by the Kwantung Army, the US military occupied a larger territory.

Following the results of the Potsdam Conference, Japan's overseas colonies will establish independent countries after the war ends, and the peninsula will bear the brunt of it, and the establishment of a country is imminent.

MacArthur still paid close attention to the peninsula. Before the August Storm operation was over, MacArthur sent a telegram to Vasilevsky, hoping that the Russian army could withdraw from the peninsula.

Vasilevsky quickly called back, hoping that the US military would withdraw and establish a country on the peninsula based on the Russian model.

This request is unacceptable to MacArthur. His purpose is to brush up his political achievements. In the face of any retreat from the Russians, it will become a weakness for MacArthur's competitors to attack MacArthur in the future. Therefore, MacArthur not only did not order the U.S. military to withdraw, but on the basis of the Japanese slave army. Expanding the scale, an army of up to 10 troops was formed in a short period of time.

During the war, Japan recruited as many as 60 people from the peninsula to join the army to fight overseas, and as many as 86 people went to work overseas as laborers. The total population of the peninsula was about 2500 million at that time.

India has 4.6 million people, and Britain only recruited less than 300 million during World War II.

The peninsula, with a total population of only 2500 million, was recruited by Japan to nearly 150 million. The loyalty of the peninsula people to Japan is second only to Australia during World War I.

After the war, as many as nearly one million Peninsulars returned to their hometowns, and a considerable part of them were accepted by the Americans.

The Americans raised an army, and the Russians felt immediately threatened.

So the Russians also began to form an army to respond to pressure from the United States.

The Australians came to the peninsula under such circumstances.

Busan is named after the "cauldron"-shaped mountain. It is the largest port on the peninsula and has a large population. During the Japanese occupation era, the countless resources plundered by the Japanese army overseas were transported back to Japan through Busan. Japan attaches great importance to Busan.

Japan does not have a colonial mentality towards the peninsula, but really manages the peninsula as a Japanese territory. It costs a lot of money and effort, and the effect is of course very good.

Since East Asians generally marry early, half a century is almost three generations for Peninsulars.

At least the last two generations of peninsula people grew up in Japanese enslavement education, so their feelings towards Japan are naturally complicated. Many people even hate the Allied forces, believing that the Allied forces' attack broke their peaceful life.

Second Lieutenant Wright of Australia, the first Australian he met in Busan was Grant who worked for the Umbrella Company.

Encountering an old acquaintance in a foreign land, both fellow Australians, Wright and Grant were very enthusiastic. After a brief self-introduction, Grant invited Wright to drink at the office of Umbrella Company in Busan.

"Does the Umbrella Company also have business in Busan?" Wright didn't know enough about the Umbrella Company, only that it was a mercenary company.

"I didn't have it before, and I will definitely have it in the future. My job now is to recruit people from the peninsula to serve as policemen in Japan, and each of them will give ten rand as an umbrella." Grant had no defense against Wright, and he didn't know that there was a job competition between them.

"My mission is to arrest people. Do you have any good advice for me?" Wright didn't know how to beat around the bush, and the soldier was very straightforward.

Grant laughed when he learned of Wright's mission: "The people you want are in the army and are being trained by the Americans."

Wright was very angry.

Australia is the most active country in pursuing accountability after the war. Japan is busy catching war criminals.

Although the peninsula army, in the name of the servant army, performed as well as the real Japanese army in combat, it was fundamentally different from the British and Indian troops.

They are all servants, and the British and Indian troops will only hold back. The peninsula army is as brutal as the Japanese army, and there must be a lot of war criminals. MacArthur wants to win over the Japanese, so he insists on not including Hirohito on the list of war criminals. Is there anyone in the peninsula who deserves it? MacArthur win over?

The answer is no. After Japan annexed the peninsula, all the royal families of the peninsula were moved to live in Japan.

The members of the royal family of the peninsula are also not up to the mark. Some are infertile after drinking poisonous tea, some marry Japanese wives with Japanese names and become completely Japanese, and some fall in love with Japanese special workers, each lower than the lower limit.

The most absurd Li Jie, the concubine son of the last king Li Xi, even sold his birth mother's graveyard to a businessman for 2000 yen in order to raise money for gambling, leaving people speechless.
