The Southern African Expeditionary Force undoubtedly left a deep impression on the Germans in World War I. It can be said that without the participation of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, even if the Americans landed in Europe, the world war would have been prolonged for at least one month.
years and above.
In addition to the navy, the Southern African Air Force and Army performed extremely well. Before the Southern African Air Force entered the war, the skies in Europe could be said to belong to the Germans, thus achieving the prestigious reputation of the "Red Baron".
It was not until Southern Africa entered the war that the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Allied Powers. In the end, Southern Africa made a huge contribution to the victory over Germany with its more advanced aircraft, better pilots, and stronger production capabilities.
The last point is particularly important. In the late World War, Germany's aircraft were actually quite good, but due to Germany's production capacity, they were unable to form a numerical advantage, and they eventually had to gradually cede European airspace.
Göring was both in the Air Force, and was deeply impressed by the performance of the Southern African Air Force. He expressed to Rock in person that he hoped to meet Colonel Ethan, who also performed well during the World War.
Oh, now he is Major General Ethan.
During the World War, Ethan led a team to Europe to participate in the war and participated in many air operations. During the war, he shot down a total of 69 enemy planes. He was awarded the Order of the Garter by King George V and was awarded a knighthood.
Ethan is still serving in the military, serving as the captain of the 1st Wing of the Air Force, stationed in Katanga, Nyasaland, and cannot leave the station easily.
This arrangement is very purposeful. The Air Force's strategic bombers and airborne troops can simultaneously act as a deterrent to West Africa, the Kingdom of Congo, and the Republic of Congo.
"That's a pity. It's great that General Ethan can still serve in the army, but I have become a deserter -" Hermann Goering had a complicated expression. He must still have feelings for the Air Force. Unfortunately, Germany has now
There is no longer an Air Force organization.
“Herman, we have to look forward——” Rock was vague, and there were some things that couldn’t be explained too clearly.
"Lord, the German Workers' Party needs help from southern Africa. No matter from which aspect, Germany and southern Africa have extensive common interests-" Hermann Goering regained his composure and came to Roque.
, the purpose is indeed very clear.
“Wait a minute, Hermann, hasn’t the Workers’ Party been banned?” Rock didn’t talk about common interests. It’s not that there are none, but the current Workers’ Party is not worthy of talking about interests with southern Africa.
Roque is really not arrogant. After the "Beer Hall Riots", the Workers' Party and Mustache's "Volkswagen Observer" newspaper were banned by the German government. Mustache himself was also imprisoned. The Workers' Party encountered unprecedented difficulties. At this time When it comes to interests, the Workers' Party is really unworthy.
Others don't know, but Rock still knows a lot about Mustache and the Workers' Party. The current German Workers' Party will be the notorious Nasty Party in the future. When Mustache is released from prison, the Workers' Party will complete its magnificent turn. Rock finally He is good at providing help in times of need, so how could he miss this opportunity?
In the 21st century, the Workers' Party is notorious when it comes to it, but in 1924, the Workers' Party, like the British Labor Party, was a rising star in German politics. Americans and British were rushing to invest in the German Workers' Party. Rock Of course there is no exception.
If this were placed in the East, maintaining a clear and independent consciousness would be called "everyone is drunk and I am alone sober".
But in Europe, being too sober is not a good thing, it is called "alien".
"The Workers' Party represents the just demands of the German people and cannot be banned!" Goering had confidence in the Workers' Party. Before coming to southern Africa, he had just gone to the United States and secured funding from Wall Street financiers. Ten million dollars more or less.
Compared to the national investment of tens of billions of dollars, 10 million is indeed not much.
But for the current Workers’ Party, ten million can still do a lot. If not for the cleverness of Wall Street financiers, they would also cast nets everywhere to focus on fishing.
"Adolf is an outstanding leader. Under his leadership, the Workers' Party will definitely become the master of Germany. Every investment now will be returned hundreds or even thousands of times. This is also true in life. The common wish of the Germans in southern Africa -" Goering admired the mustache extremely, but when he mentioned the Germans living in southern Africa, Rock's heart suddenly shuddered.
It's normal. Germans also have a sense of country. Not returning home without wealth is like walking at night in fine clothes. It's also normal for Germans living in southern Africa to help their relatives and friends in Germany when they can.
But it’s not necessarily true that I have deep feelings for the German government.
I am afraid that few Germans today recognize the Weimar government supported by the Allied Powers.
As for the character of Mustache, there is no need to question this. This guy does not smoke or drink, does not engage in sexual relations, lives a simple life, is a vegetarian, loves art and reading, and did not forget to read in prison. Compared with Winston and Hoover , the mustache is simply a "saint" with flawless personal character.
But it was such a saint who pushed the whole world into the abyss of World War II.
Human nature is complicated.
"The current German government has become a tool for other countries to exploit the German nation. Germany is willing to pay compensation, but first it must be able to pay compensation. Germans also want to live and work in peace and contentment like southern Africans. This is a prerequisite for peace.
, the continued injustice to Germany will only lead to more intense confrontation, which I think is what you, Lord, do not want to see." Goering already has nationalist tendencies, but it is hard to say where the root is.
Mustache’s anti-Semitism is well known to everyone, but Germany’s initial anti-Semitism was to drive more Jews to the Middle East to enrich the strength of the Jews in the Middle East.
This is not Roque’s tampering with history, it was said by the Israeli Prime Minister himself.
Do you still remember the Balfour Declaration during the World War? The British government once intended to establish a Jewish state in the umbrella territory, but unfortunately Roque directly rejected it.
Then the British targeted Palestine, a territory of the Ottoman Empire.
But Palestine is located in a desert area, and the Jews are unwilling to go there.
So the question becomes, how can we get the Jews to move to the desert?
This is why Wall Street financiers provided assistance to the German Workers' Party.
Otherwise, why is the United States so active in supporting Germany? It kills three birds with one stone and has many benefits.
"Of course, I hope that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and I also hope that there will be world peace--" Rock finally pointed out the topic. The book has more than 4 million words so far and it is just this central idea: "--Germany's current predicament is that none of us can
I am willing to see it, so I have communicated with Cecil and will give Germany as much assistance as possible through the Rhodesia Company——"
Rock is different from the financiers on Wall Street. The financiers just throw money at them. Rock is anxious and thinks about what others think.
What Germany needs most now is not money, but a large amount of food that can appease the people.
It’s no exaggeration. When potatoes were used as feed on farms in southern Africa, the Germans couldn’t even eat potatoes.
The word "appeasement" is not appropriate here. It should be "fight for". Whoever can provide enough food for the Germans now will be Germany's savior.
If the Workers' Party can bring a large amount of food back to Germany, then there is no need to emphasize what significance it will have for the cause of the Workers' Party.
“That’s great, my lord. The Germans will definitely remember your help and be forever grateful for your generosity and kindness -” As long as there are benefits, Goering can make Rock look like God.
This is normal. After the World War, Southern Africa successfully received Dias and Victoria, becoming the biggest winner of the World War.
Having taken up such a large territory for the Germans, it is appropriate to give them some benefits. Roque is not a tough guy who doesn't get a dime.
Leaving the Ministry of Defense, Göring went to find Henry again. He was really busy these days, meeting non-stop with big shots in southern Africa.
Goering went to Henry in the hope that the Fawalt Steel Group would invest in the Ruhr Industrial Area.
The Ruhr region is Germany's most important industrial region. Its industrial output once accounted for 60% of Germany's total, producing 80% of Germany's hard coal, 90% of its coke, and two-thirds of its steel.
The Ruhr region also has key facilities such as Germany's most important power industry, sulfuric acid industry, synthetic rubber, and oil refineries. It can be said that without the Ruhr region, Germany will lose the power to re-emerge.
This is also the reason why France wanted to occupy the Ruhr area no matter what after the world war.
Now because of the "Dawes Plan", France is forced to give up the Ruhr area. This is not France's willingness, but due to pressure from the United Kingdom and the United States.
The problem is that when the French left the Ruhr area, they moved all the factory equipment in the Ruhr area and destroyed all the factory facilities that could not be moved. Germany now has no ability to rebuild the factories in the Ruhr area, so Goering put his hope
Entrusted to Favalte Steel Group.
If you want to rebuild the Ruhr area, French capital is out of the question, but why is it Favalte Steel Group and not American or British steel companies?
Don’t forget what happened not long ago, the British Workers’ Union’s lawsuit against the Favart Steel Group.
Henry readily agreed to Hermann Goering's invitation.
Even though Germany’s industry is basically zero now, before the World War, Germany’s industrial strength actually surpassed that of Britain and ranked third in the world, second only to the United States and southern Africa.
The World War had a devastating blow to German industry, but there were still many skilled workers and technicians in Germany. As long as there were sufficient funds, it would not be difficult for Germany to rebuild its industry.
At this time, the identity of southern Africa was very special. Germany hoped to obtain funds for its re-emergence from the United Kingdom and the United States, but was unwilling to be restrained by the United Kingdom and the United States. The French were Germany's mortal enemies.
so--
Southern Africa was the only option for the Germans.
