Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 991

The real world is so absurd that the plots that are not dared to be written in novels will not violate the harmony between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Regardless of the terrible performance of the Kingdom of Italy in the World War, in fact, Britain and France not only did not dare to expel the Kingdom of Italy from the camp of the Allies, but spent money to help the Kingdom of Italy stabilize the situation. At least the Kingdom of Italy contained 30 troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Otherwise, the pressure on the Russian Empire will be even greater.

The current situation is very interesting. Germany singled out the British and French allied forces on the western front, and the Russian Empire singled out the German-Austrian combination on the eastern front. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has to face the two-line attack of the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy. Winter has finally come and the war has come to an end. , the end is nowhere in sight.

Roque returned to Paris when the New Year was approaching to participate in a series of celebrations held by the French government. 1915 was not a success for France. With millions of casualties, the German army is still entrenched on the land of France, but there is dawn in the direction of Belgium. The heavy snow has prevented the continuous attack of the British Expeditionary Army tank unit, and Rock has a new halo "Liberator of Belgium".

To Roque's slight regret, Roque was not popular in Paris, not only the French generals did not like Roque, but Henry Wilson, chief of staff of the British Expeditionary Force, did not like Roque either. Regardless of Paris, although Henry Wilson is still nominally the chief of staff of the British Expeditionary Force, the victory of the British Expeditionary Force in Belgium has nothing to do with Henry Wilson.

"You see, this is the actual situation. It is shameful to lose a war, and you will not be a hero if you win a war. We try our best to do a good job, but we cannot satisfy everyone." At the dinner held by the French government, the newly appointed Foch, commander of the city defense of Paris, was full of bitterness. After Xiafei was forced to resign, Foch was implicated and dismissed from his post, Pétain was also marginalized, and Robert Nivelle was in full swing.

This is a dinner held by the French government to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Verdun. Although the German army failed to achieve its goal through the Battle of Verdun, it is hard to say whether the result of the Battle of Verdun is a victory for France.

Obviously no one pays attention to this issue now. The celebration banquet was held in the official residence of President Pongale. Participants can bring their family members. Phyllis took the children back to Nyasaland, and Roque took Ida to the banquet in a grandiose manner. , Arthur was also brought by Ada's side.

Almost in a blink of an eye, Arthur was already 12 years old. Like Rock, Arthur's hair was black. This is Arthur's most distinctive feature. He is now over 1.6 meters tall, taller than many adults. To be high, Arthur was made a Baron of Cyprus by George V in June this year.

Ada is French, and now she is taking the trouble to lead Arthur to make friends with the big shots present. The big shots don't dare to neglect the newly released "Lord of Cyprus", they know the relationship between Arthur and Rock.

"Don't disappoint Ferdinand, no one can do well in that position. Being the commander of the Paris city defense is not necessarily a bad thing for you." Rock was sitting in the corner of the banquet hall, and Manjing in the center of the venue was laughing, He is also proud of the spring breeze now, although under his command, the French army has just lost 4.5 people, and no one is sure to bring up this embarrassing topic now.

"Yeah, think about Joseph—General Gallieni, he performed very well as the commander of the Paris city defense." He was implicated by Xiafei, but he didn't complain when he mentioned Xiafei.

After Joffre was forced to resign, he was appointed as the head of the French military delegation to the United States. After the New Year, Joffre was about to leave for Washington.

Robert Nivelle really deserves to be Joffre's confidant and beloved general, and his acting style is exactly the same as Joffre's. At the beginning, Joffre suppressed Gallieni in many ways, and Gallieni died in depression in the end. He still hasn't got what he should have own honor.

Joffre's health is much better than Gallieni's, and it is impossible to die in a short time, so Robert Nivelle simply let Joffre go to the United States, which kicked really far.

It's also really ruthless.

"I heard that Mr. Commander-in-Chief is planning a new attack. What do you think?" Rock is not optimistic about Robert Nivelle. He drives tigers from the front door and wolves from the backyard. How much the attack that Nivelle is planning will cost France.

The new official took office three fires, winning the Battle of Verdun was obtained during Joffre's tenure, and had nothing to do with Robert Nivelle.

Although the British Expeditionary Force made a major breakthrough in Belgium, it has nothing to do with Robert Nivelle, so Robert Nivelle is so impatient. He wants to win an unprecedented victory and prove that he is qualified to lead France to victory .

But it is a pity that Robert Nivelle probably does not have a clear understanding of his own abilities. Although the German offensive in Verdun has stopped, it is not the credit of Robert Nivelle and Manjing, but a combination of multiple factors. As a result of the effect, it is a pity that Robert Nivelle has been dazzled by the victory now, and now no one can make Robert Nivelle calm down.

"It's hard to say. The German army has also changed its commander-in-chief and chief of staff. Hindenburg and Ludendorff performed well on the Eastern Front. They must also be planning a new offensive. Next year's war may be more brutal than this year—" Fu Xu was worried. When the world war broke out, everyone thought that the world war would end in just a few months. Now, no one thinks that way. Everyone is trying to persevere. No one knows when the world war will end.

Rock also didn't know that the course of the war in this time and space was quite different from that in another time and space. The Battle of the Dardanelles in another time and space finally failed, and the Ottoman Empire persisted until 1918 before surrendering.

The Ottoman Empire in this time and space has withdrawn from the war in an extremely disgraceful way. The Allied Powers control the outlet of the Black Sea and can provide Russia with more supplies through the Black Sea. Therefore, whether the Russian revolution will break out as scheduled is still a question mark. The United States has also entered the war now. Starting next year, millions of American troops will come to France. By then, the strength of the Allied Powers will be further enhanced. The British Expeditionary Force now has thousands of tanks. The offensive, if it can break into Germany, then the war may end next year, and it is possible.

Before the outbreak of the World War, Rock still hoped to consume the strength of Britain and France through the World War. Now it seems that if the war can end one day earlier, then it should end as soon as possible. The World War is a catastrophe for all mankind.

"It will definitely—as far as I know, the supplies in Germany are already very tight. The German government implements a universal rationing system. There is a shortage of supplies, and prices are soaring. The situation in the Russian Empire is not optimistic—" Rock is also very helpless. It broke out because of the ambition of a few people, but in the end it was the civilians of all countries who suffered the most.

"I heard that a large-scale famine broke out in India—" Foch was also well informed. The famine in India was an accident, but the situation was serious. It is said that tens of thousands of people have died in the famine.

India is indeed a wonderful country. When the world war broke out, in order to mobilize India's enthusiasm for participating in the war, Britain promised to grant India the status of a dominion after the war.

This promise became the carrot in front of the donkey's nose. India sent 130 million troops to Britain to join the war, and at the same time sent almost 130 million laborers.

Not only actively sent troops to participate in the war, but also actively raised donations from all walks of life in India, raising 5000 million pounds for the British military. Many civilians even donated their own rations.

It was this stupid behavior that finally led to a serious famine in India this year.

This famine was also related to Winston. After becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston transferred nearly 250 million tons of grain from India to meet the demand for food in the United Kingdom.

As a result, when India was short of food, Winston did not give Indians and help, which caused the famine in India to become more and more serious.

"It's hard to understand those Indians. The Indian princes and nobles would rather sell their grain to foreign cattle than sell their grain to Indian civilians at a lower price." Rock is also helpless. The rich in India may They are the richest and most ruthless affluent class in the world. Until the 21st century, India still has not completely solved the food crisis.

On the surface, India in another time and space is a standard grain exporter, but in fact there are still tens of millions of people in India who suffer from malnutrition all the year round. Just like Roque said, Indian farmers would rather sell their grain abroad for farming. Cattle are also unwilling to sell domestically at lower prices. Unlike the federal government of Southern Africa, the Indian government does not have a strict unified purchase and marketing system, so once natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, India will become a hell on earth.

Bah, even if there were no natural disasters and man-made disasters, by Roque's standards, India would be similar to hell on earth.

"Isn't it the same in southern Africa? I heard that potatoes are only a few cents a catty in your southern Africa, but the price will be several times higher in France. What qualifications do you have to blame the Indians?" A mocking sarcasm suddenly came from the side , Manjing finally had enough bragging, and took the initiative to come over and deliver it to his door.

"Do you have Indian blood?" Rock's mouth seemed to be opened, and the blood of Manjing's words was poured into his eyes, and his eyes began to congeal.

It is understandable, after all, the whole night, Manjing only did one thing and it was bragging. Now that Robert Nivelle is so famous, Manjing is also rising. No one pours cold water on Manjing. But it hit a snag with Roque.

You can imagine how angry Manjing was.

Rock doesn't care.
