The participation of the Umbrella Company in the war immediately aroused the vigilance of the Kingdom of Italy.
It can't be concealed at all.
It has been more than half a year since Italy invaded Abyssinia, but Abyssinia has never annihilated the Italian army in an organized manner, not even troops at the level of patrols.
After the Battle of Mechu, the elite troops of the Abyssinian Empire had lost all their troops. If the Italians suffered such heavy losses at this time, external forces must have intervened.
Moreover, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are different from the soldiers of the Abyssinian Empire.
Both of them actually love money, but their understanding of wealth is different.
When the Umbrella Company cleans up the battlefield after the war, all the previous things will be looted, and the mouth will even be opened to see if there are any gold teeth.
But only to this extent.
In the Abyssinian Empire, even the underwear of the corpse was taken away.
The body may also be insulted.
The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing.
What’s more, the intensity of the battles is also different.
Even if the Abyssinian Empire has elite troops, they are only "elite" compared to the ordinary army of the Abyssinian Empire, and are not the same concept as the "elite" of the Umbrella Company.
The mercenaries took less than half an hour from the launch of the surprise attack to the end of the battle, including the time to clean up the battlefield.
If it were the elite of the Abyssinian Empire, it would probably take a whole day to destroy this patrol.
Being able to end the battle so neatly and neatly, in the words of Marshal Petro Badoglio: There are not many armies in the world that can do it!
This statement is definitely suspected of putting money on the face of the Kingdom of Italy, but it is not far from the truth.
Marshal Petro Badoglio participated in the World War and was a member of the Italian delegation during the Paris Peace Conference.
Don’t forget that during the World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force also fought side by side with the troops of the Kingdom of Italy.
"Vittorio, I can personally guarantee that the federal government of Southern Africa has absolutely no involvement in this matter. I don't even know what happened." Sean Ferguson looked sincere. The reason why he served as Secretary of the Executive Council of the League of Nations
President, and was nominated by Vittorio Rolandi Risi, Ambassador Plenipotentiary of Italy to the League of Nations.
Italy’s presence in the League of Nations is seriously insufficient.
However, as one of the permanent members of the League of Nations, Italians still have to take care of their feelings.
"The federal government of Southern Africa may indeed have not intervened, but what about Umbrella? Can you guarantee that the war hyenas of the Umbrella Company will not appear on the battlefield in North Africa?" Vittorio Risi was both angry and worried. For the Italians,
It is said that Britain and France that implement appeasement are not terrible. What is terrible are countries in southern Africa that have strong strength and resolute execution capabilities.
What dissatisfied Vittorio Richi was that southern Africa had no interest at all with the Abyssinian Empire, and the territory did not border on it.
Even Britain and France acquiesced in Italy's invasion of the Abyssinian Empire, but southern Africa stood in the way.
This is very unkind!
Southern Africa can unite with the new Brazilian government in Brazil to defeat the US-Brazilian coalition.
Doesn’t Italy have the right to expand freely?
“I’m not sure if there are mercenaries from the Umbrella Company in the North African battlefield. Even if there are, they have nothing to do with the Southern African federal government.” Sean Ferguson was categorical.
The Umbrella Company is not an army, and its personnel structure is not static. Even registered mercenaries of the Umbrella Company have the right not to accept tasks.
For example, the German mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are not allowed to accept any tasks related to Germany. The Umbrella Company cannot force them and will not force them.
Mercenaries have the right to quit the umbrella company at any time when they are not performing tasks, and they can also accept employment from other security companies.
So what Sean Ferguson means is that even if there are registered mercenaries of the Umbrella Company in the Abyssinian Empire, it has nothing to do with the Umbrella Company.
This explanation is a bit lame.
But it’s very reasonable.
Vittorio Rich was absolutely furious.
He must also know that this is Sean Ferguson's excuse.
However, without evidence, Vittorio Risi had no recourse.
Even if there is evidence, as long as the Southern African federal government does not recognize it, most of the Kingdom of Italy will not be able to do anything.
A scumbag?
Yes, that’s right!
It is already one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, so what does it mean to be a simp?
“Tell me, what does the federal government of Southern Africa want?” Vittorio Richie doesn’t argue with Sean Ferguson. It’s just a matter of profit. The Kingdom of Italy can afford it.
“The federal government of Southern Africa has always been concerned about world peace.” Sean Ferguson deserves a beating. He can say this without shame.
It’s not shameless, but it’s not time to put forward conditions yet.
France agreed to Italy's invasion of Abyssinia in order to gain Italian support against the threat posed by German rearmament.
Britain's acquiescence is actually being kidnapped by France. If Britain does not agree, France and Italy will form a stronger alliance, which will affect British interests in the Mediterranean.
Southern Africa has a detached status and has no interest in the Abyssinian Empire or southern Africa.
However, the Southern African federal government is very worried about the ambitions shown by the Kingdom of Italy that are not consistent with its strength.
As one of the five permanent members of the League of Nations, Italy is currently the most unstable factor in the Mediterranean.
If the Kingdom of Italy is allowed to annex Abyssinia, who will be the next target of the Kingdom of Italy?
Oh, this goal has been achieved.
Just the day before Vittorio Interest came to Sean Ferguson for an explanation, the troops of the Kingdom of Italy finally occupied Addis Ababa, and then the fat bald man couldn't wait to announce the end of the war, and the Abyssinian Empire was officially merged into Italy
kingdom.
Fatty Baldhead is quite satisfied with this result.
The last time the Kingdom of Italy failed to invade Abyssinia, the Kingdom of Italy became the laughing stock of the entire "civilized society".
Now that the Kingdom of Italy has finally avenged its shame, after annexing the Abyssinian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy's colonies in North Africa have expanded rapidly, and the fat bald man is very proud of himself.
As for the resistance forces of the Abyssinian Empire.
Under the high pressure of half a million Italian troops, Fat Baldhead believed that it was only a matter of time before the resistance forces were eliminated.
The only hidden danger is whether the southern African federal government will intervene.
The day after the Kingdom of Italy announced its annexation of the Abyssinian Empire, the Palace of Justice held another joint meeting of ministers. At the meeting, Roque reminded the southern African military generals to pay attention to the increasingly bad international environment.
In the 14th year since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, it finally faced the danger of completely losing control.
Germany in Europe.
Japan in Asia.
Mediterranean Italy.
For today's world, the threats posed by these three countries are increasing.
Don’t forget that the United States still refuses to recognize the new Brazilian government.
So the Brazilian Civil War may break out again at any time.
Facing the increasingly severe international situation, what should Southern Africa do?
“Southern Africa must have the ability to win two transcontinental local wars at the same time. At present, the biggest hidden dangers lie in Europe and Asia.” Roque does not need to name names, and the generals also know who Roque is talking about.
If you look at the military deployment in southern Africa, you will know that the areas targeted by one Atlantic Fleet and one Indian Ocean Fleet are actually very obvious.
As for the Mediterranean
It is not that the generals in southern Africa are arrogant. Don't look at the fat bald man proudly claiming that the Kingdom of Italy has annexed Abyssinia. There are still many troubles for the Kingdom of Italy in the future.
This is just like the British announcing the end of the Second Boer War. A complete armistice will be two years later.
Moreover, the generals in southern Africa really don’t care about the combat effectiveness of the Italian army.
No matter how advanced the weapons the Italian army is equipped with, it can still be used to bully the Abyssinians.
Compared with southern Africa, the Italian army is not even a bad brother.
“The General Staff must formulate more plans. Your plans are not complete yet.” Roque is not satisfied with the work of the General Staff. The current plans of the General Staff are all based on the last world war.
“Lord, say” Martin felt guilty.
The military is divided into internal divisions of labor. The navy is in charge of Angel, the army is in charge of Patton, and the work of the staff is directly led by Martin.
“For example, have you considered whether France can withstand a German invasion if war breaks out?” Rock had to be blunt. The generals in southern Africa also have limitations in their thinking.
“Without the help of us and the United Kingdom, the French will definitely not be able to withstand it.” Martin doesn’t look down on the French. Germany’s population is almost twice that of France. Let’s hold it against them!
“Then can France hold on until our and British help arrives in France?” Roque said clearly that France would surrender directly on the 38th day of the German invasion.
“No way,” Martin couldn’t believe it.
The ministers also whispered among themselves.
In the last world war, before the British Expeditionary Force arrived on the battlefield, France was at war with Germany.
Even if the French are even worse this time, they still have invested billions in the Maginot Line.
As for the Maginot Line, although many people disapprove of France placing its hopes on this line of defense, the strength of the Maginot Line is still recognized.
The Southern African military has also conducted internal deductions. If the Southern African army attacks the Maginot Line, a frontal attack will also require a huge cost.
This is an important reason for the establishment of airborne troops in southern Africa.
"You have all held so many exercises, and you should be very clear about the attack capabilities of modern armored forces. I have reminded you many times that the biggest problem with the Maginot Line is not its strength, but that it does not cover the Franco-Belgian border.
,Don’t the Germans know?” Roquel was slightly disappointed. The generals in southern Africa still have to work hard.
