Stoudemire is of course interested in Madagascar, who would have trouble with money?
So Stoudemire simply stayed in Rock's box and watched the game with Rock.
Roya consciously served tea and water, and Robert was flattered. Not everyone is qualified to enjoy the service of the eldest daughter.
“There are more than 100,000 French people living in Madagascar. Do you really want to deport all French people?” Stoudemire doubted Robert’s determination. Making this decision requires courage.
“Of course, I have mobilized more than 100,000 troops to fight the French to the bitter end!” Robert is really desperate. The total strength of the French Expeditionary Force will not exceed 10,000, and its combat effectiveness is still a mystery.
Normally, as one of the victorious countries in the world war, France’s military combat effectiveness is quite impressive.
In fact, not necessarily. After the World War, a large number of experienced veterans in France retired and had to recruit colonial soldiers to maintain an army of about 300,000 people.
For the current total size of the German army, which does not exceed 100,000, the 300,000 French troops are enough to form an overwhelming advantage. However, most of these troops are deployed on the Maginot Line, and the troops that can be mobilized are extremely limited.
The Madagascar army was established based on the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. They were well-trained and well-equipped, and were very familiar with the terrain of Madagascar. In addition, the officers were all experienced mercenaries. The trade-offs between the one and the other, Robert indeed
It is confident to fight against the French Expeditionary Force.
French troops have now begun to gather towards Reunion, preparing to launch an attack on Madagascar.
Reunion is a volcanic island in the Indian Ocean. It is now a French colony. It is about 650 kilometers away from Madagascar and covers an area of about 2,500 square kilometers. It is the most suitable forward base for France.
"After expelling the French, what are you going to do with the French property?" Stoudemire is not worried about whether the Madagascars can defeat the French. This is a question for Rock and Robert.
Although Madagascar is close to Reunion, the straight-line distance from mainland France is more than 7,500 kilometers. If it passes through the Suez Canal, the distance is about 9,500 kilometers. Over such a long distance, even if the British Empire wanted to launch a war, it would have to face huge obstacles
difficulty.
Needless to say France, France had tried to colonize Madagascar three times before, but all failed in the end, which fully proved France’s ability.
"I'm going to nationalize it and let the state take over the management -" Robert's words trailed off. Huge cheers suddenly came from the stadium. With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.
The same color as the jerseys in the league, Rhodesia United wears blue autumn clothes to attack from the left to the right side of the field; Nyasaland Eagles wears iron gray jerseys and is in a defensive state.
Stoudemire has invested heavily in Rhodesia United in the past two years, spending heavily to recruit top players in the league to join Rhodesia United, posing a huge threat to the Nyasaland Eagles.
The Nyasaland Eagles have a profound foundation. Backed by the Southern African military, the Nyasaland Eagles have huge reserve resources, strong talents in all three lines, and can face the attack of the Rhodesian United with ease.
"Come on, be brave, kill them, and I will reward you with a hundred rand for scoring a goal!" Stoudemire was excited. For professional players in southern Africa, their salary is not so high that they are out of touch with the public. One hundred rand for a goal is already quite generous.
.
Rock was very depressed, but Luo Ya acted as if she hadn't heard anything and concentrated on making tea for Rock. She was used to Xiao Si's behavior.
“What do you need me to do?” Roque doesn’t care about the progress of the game, he mainly wants to solve the problem.
The French were quite smart and did not declare war on Madagascar in the name of protecting their expatriates.
If the French declare war, Narroque will have enough reason to intervene. Madagascar is a member of the Southern African Union, and Southern Africa, as the leader of the alliance, has the obligation to protect Madagascar.
There are also ways of not declaring war. Madagascar's economy relies heavily on southern Africa, and it does not even have the ability to make bullets. Without the support of southern Africa, Madagascar simply does not have the strength to fight France.
"Weapons and ammunition, doctors and medicines, I want to send some mercenaries from the Umbrella Company to Madagascar to fight jungle warfare and guerrilla warfare with the French, and take the opportunity to clean up the coastal cities of Madagascar. Now in Madagascar, there are still some people who are attacking the French
Full of illusions, I am worried that I have no reason to deal with them." Robert had previously served as the general manager of the Umbrella Company and was comfortable using mercenaries to fight.
"Tomorrow you go to Minister Martin and he will make specific arrangements -" Roque didn't finish his words. On the field, Rhodesia United successfully broke through the Nyasaland Eagles' defense through a quick counterattack. Forward No. 11 successfully passed the ball.
Sent into the Nyasaland Eagles net.
"Ah hahahaha - great, I knew it, hurry up and bring the money to Locke, you lose!" Stoudemire laughed and couldn't wait to declare his victory.
“Heh!” Rock raised his finger and pointed at the clock on the opposite side of the court. It was not even halftime yet, so it was too early to tell whether the game would be won or lost.
"What's there to say? Just beat the French so hard that they know how powerful Madagascar is -" Stoudemire didn't take it seriously at all. War was just like a game in his mouth.
Roque smiled. In fact, he did not take the French seriously. Without the help of southern Africa, the Madagascars beat the French into disgrace.
Now with help from southern Africa, the French are even more in danger.
Just as the friendly match kicked off, in the coastal city of Mahajanga, Madagascar, a group of French-Malagasy people were boarding the merchant ship "Maria" and were forced to leave Madagascar.
"Please gentlemen, I was born in Mahajanga, grew up here, and have never left Madagascar. I am Malagasy, not French. Don't drive me away. I can join you and fight the French.
Just let me stay -" A young man on the dock was pleading. He was wearing a curved hat, a jacket, overalls, and a pair of cowhide short boots. On the surface, he looked no different from a young man in southern Africa.
"Sorry sir, if you really think so, you can go back to Mahajanga after the war -" The Malagasy second lieutenant in military uniform had a cold expression, but deportation was kind enough. If it were replaced by other countries, after the war broke out
Most likely they will be sent to a concentration camp.
The United States is the representative in this regard. During the World War, all Germans in the United States were imprisoned in concentration camps by the U.S. government and were not released until the end of the World War.
“Then when I come back, will my property be returned to me?” The young man looked hopeful. As a French white man, he enjoyed numerous privileges in Madagascar, which will no longer exist after leaving Madagascar.
The second lieutenant said nothing and looked at the young man coldly, holding the handle of the gun at his waist tightly.
Retain property?
What are you thinking about? War is not just a game, it is cold and cruel, and no one can be an exception.
While the young man was begging the ensign, in the port area next to the pier, a middle-aged man with a big belly was being taken out of the house by two soldiers.
"Asshole, let me go, do you know who I am? I'm going to find Congressman Murray Page, and I'll make you walk around with endless food -" The middle-aged man struggled desperately. He was still wearing pajamas.
He only wore one slipper on his feet, and the other one fell on the doorstep, looking miserable.
The two soldiers turned a deaf ear, dragged the middle-aged man outside the door, and threw him directly on the street.
The middle-aged man was thrown to his feet and was still cursing. Before he could get up, a soldier raised his gun and loaded the gun.
The middle-aged man was stunned. People who have never been pointed at by a gun cannot understand the feeling of death coming at any time. His hands and feet are cold, his whole body is shaking, his mind is completely blank for a moment, and he can't even say anything.
“For the sake of God, please don’t do this—” the hostess in a beautiful dress cried and rushed over, blocking the middle-aged man and the soldier holding a gun.
The soldier holding the gun flashed a look of fierceness in his eyes, and when he was about to pull the trigger, he was stopped by the sergeant next to him.
“Madam, you still have half an hour.” The sergeant’s expression was calm. He was also a native of Madagascar, but he was not white, but a mixture of white and local people.
France has colonized Madagascar for decades, and the local mixed-race people are also a huge ethnic group. However, these mixed-race people are not accepted by the French. Their status is similar to that of the indigenous people of Madagascar, and they have not enjoyed the colonial dividends.
"Thank you, thank you. I just packed some clothes and rescued them right away -" The hostess looked horrified. The French people in Mahajanga had been notified 24 hours ago. Unfortunately, most of the French people didn't.
They believed that the Madagascar government dared to really take action against them, so they did not leave as requested by the Madagascar government.
Now they finally understand that the privileges of being colonizers are gone forever. Many French people have left Madagascar early, either returning to the French mainland or going to other French colonies. Some smart French people simply choose to go to southern Africa.
Compared with mainland France, the advantages of southern Africa are obvious. Although white people in southern Africa cannot enjoy the privileges of white people in Madagascar, the quality of life of white people in southern Africa is no less than that of white people in Madagascar, and even better than that of white people in Madagascar.
Stable, happier, you can enjoy better medical conditions, and your children can also enjoy better education.
Looking at it this way, traveling to Southern Africa is also a good choice. Although white people in Southern Africa do not have privileges, at least they will not be discriminated against. This is a life that many people dream of.
ps: Reading the book review made me laugh. There are more than a thousand chapters and ****. Where did you read the original version? Oh, oh, maybe it’s a bookstore.
