Southern Africa has a mild climate, but it has the largest textile enterprises in the world. In the early years, Australian wool was shipped to the United Kingdom for processing. Now the processing place has long been replaced by Southern Africa.
Southern Africa itself also has strong agricultural strength and full hematopoietic function. There are dozens or hundreds of sheep on any farm. Its textiles have long been famous all over the world, and Russia is certainly no exception.
As for the performance of weapons and equipment
There is no need to doubt this. Southern Africa has the strongest technical strength in the world. Diesel engines are indeed more durable than gasoline engines. In winter, if the diesel engine is too cold to start, just put it on the fire and roast it. If you replace it with a gasoline engine, it will explode in minutes.
Compared with the United Kingdom and the United States, at least Southern Africa's aid to Russia will not remain just words. Winston has gone too far. Even the Polish government-in-exile has decided to provide Russia with aid. No matter how difficult the situation in Britain is, it still
Could it be more difficult than Poland?
What's more, there is a blood feud.
Don’t forget that Poland was divided between Germany and Russia.
Therefore, the Polish government-in-exile was able to put aside its past grievances and still try to squeeze out supplies to assist Russia under such difficult circumstances. This fully demonstrates how harmonious the Allied forces are.
Although the Polish government-in-exile's aid to Russia is a bit small, only ten mortars
It's not a question of how much, the key is attitude.
Since the Polish government-in-exile is so sensible, the bearded man is certainly not stingy. He promised on the spot that he would fully support Poland's restoration after the war, return all Polish territory to Poland, and help Poland recover its economy.
This is good for Poland.
But it's not a good thing for the UK.
Russian money is not easy to get, and there must be conditions for getting assistance from the Russians, which means that Russia's influence continues to expand.
However, Vładslaw Rachikiewicz, the president of the Polish government-in-exile, was very happy.
If Britain does not want Poland to be influenced by Russia, then it can definitely give Poland more aid. Poland will listen to whoever gives more.
This was of course also wishful thinking on the part of Vładslaw Rachikiewicz.
A small country with few people has no say in this situation.
After the end of World War II in another time and space, Russia occupied Poland and supported the puppet government. The Polish government-in-exile in the UK was magnificently ignored.
Although Britain was unwilling to see Russia control Poland, it was unable to change the situation, so Poland became Russia's exchange for abandoning Greece. After that, Britain no longer recognized the Polish government in exile. From then on, officials of the exile government could only work in their own homes.
.
The Polish government-in-exile lasted until 1990.
Compared with Rachkievich, Vargas is very smart.
As a member of the Southern African Union, Vargas also came to Moscow to attend the meeting on behalf of Brazil.
After southern Africa entered the war, Brazil declared war on Germany as a country of the Southern African Union and officially joined the war.
Brazil is rich in resources, and Vargas is naturally generous and promises to provide economic assistance to Russia. However, the amount of assistance depends on the federal government of Southern Africa.
The leaders of other allied countries also followed suit, but the difference was that some countries chose southern Africa, while others chose the United Kingdom.
Almost no country chooses the United States.
This made Roosevelt slightly embarrassed.
On the morning of the second day of the meeting, the bearded man invited the leaders of the Allied countries to watch the Russian army's military parade in Red Square.
Winston disagreed with this and believed that the Russians were engaging in formalism again. Now that the war had reached its most critical moment, if the Russians were still in the mood to hold a military parade, they were probably seeking more aid.
Rock believes it is still necessary.
Don't underestimate the role of military parades. The more difficult the situation, the more spiritual strength you need to strengthen.
This is also where Russia’s final confidence lies.
It can be seen that the situation in Russia is indeed very difficult. The soldiers participating in the military parade are of varying ages. Some are already weathered, and some are still children, probably less than 18 years old.
But their firm eyes and powerful steps are extremely impressive.
Even the last phalanx of female soldiers is the same.
This is not a simple military parade.
After being inspected, these troops participating in the military parade will go directly to the front line to face the crazy German army.
Even though these soldiers knew that Russia had reached its most difficult time and that what awaited them was either death or capture, they did not hesitate at all.
"This is Russia. No matter how powerful the enemy is, the Russians will never give in. We will defeat all enemies, kill them, bury them, and bury them under trees as fertilizer." Big Beard's words were cathartic, but also a warning.
Rock and Winston looked at each other, their expressions a little complicated.
Looking at De Gaulle next to him, his eyes were filled with envy.
If France had the courage to fight to the last man and the last bullet like Russia, then Free France would not be where it is today.
Most of the weapons and equipment used by the military parade were donated by Southern Africa.
Before the war broke out, Russia's industrial strength was really not that strong.
The same goes for the United States. The United States' strength lies in its industrial scale, and its technology is not even as good as Germany's.
In another time and space, it was precisely because the United States and Russia carved up Germany after World War II that technological leaps took place.
Taking into account logistical factors, the weapons provided by Southern Africa to Russia should be as consistent as possible with Russian weapons systems. Even the rifles are Mosin Nagant 7.62 mm caliber. This is not difficult for Southern African military enterprises.
Even though Southern Africa has strong industrial strength, it cannot produce enough weapons in such a short period of time.
Therefore, only half of the troops participating in the military parade had weapons, and the other half did not even have the most basic rifles.
"Sending such an army to fight against the Germans is simply risking death." Winston said in a low voice. If the bearded man heard it, it would definitely seriously affect the unity of the Allied forces.
"This configuration is so that after the first soldier dies, the second soldier can pick up his weapon and continue moving forward," Rock said with mixed emotions.
Although the Russians have made many mistakes.
Although the whole world doesn't like Russia.
Although Rock has long understood this history through various channels.
But when history truly appeared before his eyes, Rock was still shocked.
Russia has been fighting so far, and if it were the French, they would probably have surrendered long ago.
Although Britain has not surrendered yet, Winston is already prepared to move the capital as soon as the Germans land.
When all countries in the world face war, only the Russians have such courage and determination.
No, there is still a country in the Far East that has not surrendered.
Compared with the Russians, the Chinese have a more determined attitude towards war.
The war in Russia broke out just three months ago, and the war in the Far East has lasted for five years.
Russians are tough.
The war in the Far East was even more tragic than in Russia.
Roosevelt was also obviously infected. He held on to the railing in front of him and stood up tremblingly to express his respects to the soldiers who died generously.
Then he told Big Beard that he would ship the first batch of aid supplies as soon as possible.
A bearded man would be more satisfied.
The military parade demonstrates Russia's determination, allows allies to give Russia more trust, and at the same time serves as a warning to some people with evil intentions.
It's a pity that Mustache was not there, otherwise Mustache would have re-evaluated the prospects of war.
While the military parade was going on, the war continued.
After capturing 660,000 Russian troops in Kiev, the Germans continued to advance toward Moscow.
In early October, the Romanian army ended the Battle of Odessa and occupied the entire Ukraine at the cost of 100,000 men.
The losses of the Russian army in this battle were only 41,000, of which 16,578 were killed.
From a strategic level, this result is obviously another huge failure for Russia.
However, Russia promoted the Battle of Odessa as a huge victory. After all, the losses of the Russian army in the Battle of Odessa were much smaller than those of the Romanians.
In the context of the Great Patriotic War, this is one of the few bright spots.
Russians need results like this to boost their morale.
This also fully proves that the so-called "weakness" of the Russian army is only relative to the German army.
Compared with Germany's servant army, the Russian army is still very powerful.
Also in early October, the Battle of Leningrad broke out. A total of 900,000 Russian troops defended Leningrad, and more than 700,000 German troops participated in the battle.
Although the Russian army has more troops than the German army, no one is optimistic about Russia. Winston even thinks that Leningrad will not survive the New Year.
"No, no, no, Winston, you still don't understand that Leningrad is the spiritual symbol of Russia, and the Russians will definitely defend Leningrad at all costs." Rock only confirmed that Russia will win after watching the military parade.
The final victory.
Yes, the German blitzkrieg is very powerful, the German army's weapons and equipment are also more advanced, and they also have richer combat experience.
However, in the face of countless Russians who are not afraid of death, all of this is a paper tiger. In the end, the only factor that determines the outcome of the war must be people, not others.
"Locke, why don't we make a bet? I'll bet ten pounds!" Winston was still in the mood to joke.
"I bet on Russia to win, ten francs!" De Gaulle bet on Russia. He has been in a state of excitement since watching the military parade.
This is understandable.
After France surrendered, De Gaulle was under great pressure. He was worried that the Allies would not be able to win the final victory, that the French would lose their former glory, and that France would no longer be the master of the world.
Some worries are warranted.
Some worries have become a fait accompli.
After watching the Russian military parade, de Gaulle had a clear feeling of victory for the first time.
Prior to this, even with southern Africa as a strong ally, De Gaulle was still cautiously optimistic about the prospect of war.
"Gentlemen, your behavior is extremely disrespectful to the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front lines." Rock did not participate. War is not a game, and Rock would not do this.
"Yes." De Gaulle looked ashamed.
"Ha, Locke, you are getting more and more boring." Winston disliked Locke for ruining the fun of the game.
Yes, for big men like them, war is just a game.
Anyway, even if Britain lost the war and Winston ran to Canada, he would still be the British Prime Minister.
"The Germans are about to reach Moscow, and I can already smell the smoke." Rock will leave Moscow tomorrow, which is what Yang Smuts requested.
Moscow was about to become a war zone, and it was too dangerous for Rock to stay. Yang Smuts didn't want any accidents to happen at this time.
"Although I don't believe that Russia can hold St. Petersburg, I believe that Russia can definitely win the final victory, Locke, this is what we want to see." Winston must pull Locke into the water.
Why are you pretending to be noble? The decision to divert trouble to the north was made by Winston and Rock together. No one of them is more noble than the other.
"Yes, this is what we want to see." Roque has never felt that he was noble. If he were noble, he would be irresponsible to the 130 million people in southern Africa.
After capturing Smolensk, there was no obstacle in front of the German army. Guderian's armored forces had arrived outside Moscow last month, but Mustache ordered Guderian to lead his armored corps to turn south to support the dragons.
Army Group South commanded by De Stetter, attacked Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
With the addition of armored units, Army Group South successfully concluded the Kiev Campaign and postponed the attack on Moscow until October.
Russia in October is already freezing and snowy.
This winter has been extremely cold, and it started to snow in September. The snow on the roads was too late to be cleared, leaving mud everywhere. The poor traffic conditions in Russia brought huge difficulties to the advancement of the German armored forces.
Moscow is 1,600 kilometers away from Berlin. When the Russian army retreated, they resolutely carried out the Bearded Army's order to clear the country. The German army could hardly get any supplies in Russia. All supplies had to be sent from Germany. As the supply distance became longer and longer,
, the German army encountered more and more difficulties.
In order to attack Moscow, Mustache prepared 1.8 million people, an unprecedented scale.
There are only 1.25 million people in Russia, and most of them are new recruits with little experience, and their weapons and equipment are also at a disadvantage.
This number continues to change as time goes by. The German army is now at the end of its war effort and has no ability to mobilize more troops to participate in the attack on Moscow.
On the Bearded side, no matter what the cost, the number of troops is constantly increasing, and weapons aided by southern Africa and the United States are also continuously arriving. This winter is too difficult for Russia and Germany.
On the eve of Rock's departure from Moscow, Roosevelt and Rock had a long conversation.
Roosevelt hoped that Southern Africa would not continue to expand its sphere of influence in the Americas and asked Brazil to withdraw from the Southern African Union.
Roque's attitude is firm. Southern Africa does not need to expand its sphere of influence in the Americas, but it will not expel Brazil from the Southern African Union.
After all, the Brazilians did nothing wrong.
Vargas' performance played a huge role at the most critical moment.
