Rock has raised this question more than once, what kind of new world will we build after the war is over.
Just like another time and space, it split into two camps and engaged in a cold war confrontation.
Or build a brand new world.
There was no southern Africa in another time and space. The United States gave up isolationism and returned to Europe after World War II. In order to gain world leadership, it did not hesitate to shape Russia into a new evil country.
From an evil perspective, the United States, which exterminated tens of millions of Indians, is much more evil than the Germans.
Even the Russian threat is mostly fabricated by the United States.
Think about how badly Russia was beaten in World War II. An entire generation was wiped out, and the total number of military and civilian casualties reached 60 million. Is such a country capable of threatening the so-called "civilized society"?
In this time and space, due to the emergence of southern Africa, the advantages that the United States has are far inferior to those in another time and space. Now southern Africa is the nurse of the Allies. The United States is at best a relatively strong neighbor. Britain and France want to embrace each other after the war. Southern Africa is obviously
A better choice.
Including Southern Africa, every country in the world has a clean butt, and no one has the right to dislike anyone. The UK only has more dirty stuff than the US, so both Southern Africa and the UK can cooperate, and the US can
Can't we cooperate?
Come on, no one should pretend to be a saint in worse times. For many European countries, Southern Africa is also an evil country, especially for some countries that were directly driven out of Africa during the rise of Southern Africa.
Several countries here even include France.
Even though Free France has such a good relationship with Southern Africa, de Gaulle, as a Frenchman, must have been very unhappy about Madagascar joining Southern Africa.
I almost forgot that there was French Indochina.
Did de Gaulle agree to transfer French power in French Indochina to southern Africa willingly?
impossible.
"We now have the Southern African Union, which already has the power to change the world. After the war is over, we can establish a new international organization based on the Southern African Union to replace the League of Nations. Our advantages will be further amplified. By then
We can formulate the rules for how the world operates, or at least participate in the formulation. If we don't want to see the tragedy of the League of Nations repeated, then we must turn the United States into our ally." Roque was helpless. Many people in southern Africa,
Still cannot escape the constraints of this era.
The truth that people believe in in this era is really not "freedom and equality", but that if they disagree, they will fight each other. If they can't reach an agreement at the negotiation table, they will have a fight. Whoever has the bigger fist will be justified.
The two world wars completely changed people's concepts. Previous wars could last for hundreds of years, and both sides could fight vigorously.
Today's war cannot last even five years, because technology has developed to the point where it can kill all mankind in five years, and no one can bear the losses caused by large-scale wars.
Therefore, the Cold War in another time and space did not turn into a hot war, not because the leaders were so sensible, but because they were fighting a wolf with straw.
Einstein said that he did not know how World War III would be fought, but he knew that the weapons used by both sides in World War IV would be stones and sticks.
After Rock finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.
Henry and Stoudemire are not stupid.
On the contrary, they are very smart.
When they were with Roque, they didn't force their wits down, but they were used to thinking about problems from the perspective of their own interests, and the pattern was narrow.
This is just like the future Internet era. Many people criticize those old people who are so correct that they are like fools. Even if they have a dog leash in the office, they are better than some people.
This is essentially the same as scolding the emperor for using golden hoes for farming. Mustache also knows that Germany cannot defeat southern Africa and the United States with its strength, but if Germany does not fight, it will never rise. Even if Mustache himself does not want to fight, tens of millions of Germans
Nor did he agree.
At the level of Henry and Stoudemire, profits and losses no longer matter. They have more money than they can spend in a few lifetimes, and they are fully qualified to pursue higher-level things.
The prospect described by Rock is obviously more in line with Henry and Stoudemire's expectations.
"We cannot use our moral standards to demand Americans, because we all know that Americans have no morals at all - our cooperation with Americans does not mean that we approve of their actions, just like we oppose the Germans' massacre of Jews
We are the same as Americans massacring Indians, but this does not affect our cooperation with the United States." Rock's words can be described as a split personality in medical terms, but this is the norm.
In the relationship between countries, the only stance is interests. Najd is still a feudal dynasty, and southern Africa has not refused Najd’s oil.
The American soldiers made a mistake on Saipan, and Angel's demand is compensation and an apology. This demand is not excessive.
Big bosses in Southern Africa are discussing whether this will affect the relationship between Southern Africa and the United States.
The big bosses in the United States must also be discussing what the consequences will be if Angel's request is not met.
In the current relationship between the United States and Southern Africa, Southern Africa is clearly on the stronger side.
Rock's judgment was correct.
MacArthur could be willful and show his character to his heart's content.
Roosevelt was still very rational. The U.S. government not only apologized to the girls and their families who were killed, but also opened a ferry between Saipan and Guam in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, so that U.S. soldiers on Saipan could go there during the weekend.
You can return to Guam for vacation.
There is also a US military club on Guam, and most of the service personnel are from the Americas and Japan.
Yes, Japan, you read that right.
The day after the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, all Japanese residents living in the United States, about 110,000 in total, were sent to the Special Zone for centralized management.
This operation is normal. After the European War broke out, Germans living in the UK were also centralized. Newspapers and magazines would definitely not report on this kind of thing, and no one cared about the specific conditions of the concentration camps. They were completely forgotten by the entire society.
As for the Japanese women in the American Club, many of them have become American citizens and are essentially Americans, but they are still treated differently.
This is equality among the American population.
The day after the U.S. government apologized, about 230 large long-range bombers took off from Saipan, targeting Nagoya, Japan's aircraft manufacturing center.
In order to ensure the success of the operation, about 400 fighter jets were dispatched from southern Africa to escort the bomber force. The Air Force's "Cheetah" fighter jets took off from Saipan, and the Navy's Goshawk took off from an aircraft carrier. All fighter jets used auxiliary fuel tanks to increase their range.
You can always make an emergency landing in Russia.
The current situation is different from the end of last year.
At the end of last year, during the critical period of the Moscow Campaign, in order to support Moscow, Russia transferred 20 Asian divisions stationed on the Far East border to Moscow to participate in the battle. This was the final victory of the Moscow Campaign.
After demobilizing all its forces in Asia, Russia's strength in Asia was empty. Therefore, the crew members of the B25 bomber that made an emergency landing in Vladivostok were detained by Russia and had to travel to Persia before returning to the United States.
Now the situation has improved. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Russia's pressure in Asia was completely relieved. Sidney Milner personally came forward to negotiate with the Russians, using the threat of cutting off military aid to force the Russians to make concessions and to the Southern African Air Force and the United States.
The Air Force opens Russian airports in the Far East.
The Russians did not give in completely. Military aircraft from southern Africa and the United States could only make forced landings at Russian airports and could not take off from Russia to directly launch air strikes on the Japanese mainland.
Otherwise, Southern Africa and the United States can join forces and level Japan within half a year.
If bombers take off from Saipan, each plane can only carry a maximum of 1.5 tons of aerial bombs.
This is enough. In order to ensure efficiency, the bombers carry mostly 50-kilogram incendiary bombs, which will cause a devastating blow to the wooden buildings in Japanese cities.
Southern Africa and the United States did not expect to force Japan to withdraw from the war through one or two bombings.
If they do not withdraw, Southern Africa and the United States can continue to attack Japan until Japan is completely defeated, or Southern Africa and the United States run out of bombs.
It is impossible to run out of bombs. Southern Africa and the United States combined produce more than 100 million tons of steel every year. Not to mention making bombs out of this much steel, even if it is made into iron pulleys and thrown down, it can flatten Tokyo.
The whole process went very smoothly. The Japanese government did not expect that the Allies would be able to dispatch such a large bomber force in such a short period of time, and was obviously caught off guard.
Moreover, the Japanese government has placed its main air defense force in Tokyo instead of Nagoya, which has resulted in a serious lack of air defense force in Nagoya. The defending fighter jets are still mainly Type 97 fighter jets, and there are not many of them.
The Type 97 fighter is known as the "ultimate light fighter". This fighter has an empty weight of only 1,110 kilograms, a maximum flight speed of 460 kilometers per hour, a range of 800 kilometers, and a maximum ceiling of 10,000 meters.
It seems that the various data are pretty good and meet the standards of "light fighter".
However, the weapons of the Type 97 only have two 7.7mm aviation machine guns, which is an itch for the Allied heavy fighters and large long-range bombers.
All Japan's aviation weapons have serious performance problems, such as false performance standards, insufficient range, bullets turning in the air, etc. No matter how weird the problems are, they will all appear on Japan's aviation weapons.
The 7.7mm machine gun installed on the Type 97 is actually a copy of the British "Vickers" 7.7mm aviation machine gun. In order to prove the necessity of improvement, the Japanese military abandoned the Vickers 7.7X56mm machine gun ammunition and switched to Japanese
The self-produced 7.7X58mm machine gun bullets are the same as the Japanese Army’s 7.7mm caliber Type 92 heavy machine gun. The bullets are not universal, which shows the magic of Japanese industry.
The British "Vickers" was finalized and produced before the outbreak of the last world war. It has a history of 30 years. Southern Africa's aviation weapons have advanced to the era of 20mm aviation cannons. Japan actually still uses 7.7mm aviation cannons.
Machine guns, which also led to an air battle between the "Cheetah" and "Goshawk" in southern Africa and the Japanese Type 97 over Nagoya, the result of the battle was almost a one-sided massacre.
The first two air strikes in southern Africa and the United States were concentrated in Tokyo, which obviously caused the Japanese military to make a serious misjudgment. When the Allied bombers arrived in Nagoya, the Japanese side could only take off about 40 Type 97s for combat.
.
It should also be noted here that Japan still has no radar so far, and all air raid warnings must rely on visual inspection.
So when the Allied fighter planes arrived in Nagoya, Japan had no time to mobilize its air force for defense. The outstanding pilots in the Japanese army were still in Tokyo 270 kilometers away at this time. At the speed of the Zero, it would take about half an hour.
before arriving in Nagoya.
This is also a huge test for the dispatch speed of the Japanese Air Force.
Even if the Zero took off immediately, Nagoya would not be saved.
40 Type 97s, compared to the 400 "Cheetahs" and "Goshawks", it is obvious that there are more wolves and less meat. The Type 97s that took off in a hurry did not have time to occupy the favorable terrain, and were blasted by the condescending "Cheetahs" and "Goshawks"
, compared with the Cheetah and Goshawk, the Type 97 had poor firepower, slow speed, and weak protection. It had almost no merit. Soon all Type 97s were shot down, and the "Cheetah" and "Goshawk" won a complete victory.
At this time, the B29 and the Super Flying Fortress carried out carpet bombing on Nagoya at an altitude of 2,000 meters in a stand-alone manner.
In another time and space, it was already 1945 when LeMay figured out bombers, incendiary bombs, and the optimal altitude of 2,000 meters.
Now the Allies were on the right track from the beginning. The bomber pilots in southern Africa, many of whom had experienced the Battle of Britain, now brought their experience to the Far East to deal with the Japanese.
Compared with the Germans, the Japanese seriously lacked experience in dealing with air attacks. Not only did their fighter jets have poorer performance, but cities on the ground lacked anti-aircraft firepower, and they even lacked experienced fighter pilots.
This is also understandable.
In the East Asian battlefield, the Japanese Air Force has no opponent at all. The limited air power in East Asia was all lost soon after the war began. The Japanese Air Force has not accumulated many experienced pilots until now.
Even if there were, all of them had been killed in the Battle of Guam.
On this day, the wind speed in Nagoya was between level 4 and level 6. Incendiary bombs, mainly napalm bombs, exploded on the ground and the fire spread rapidly.
The buildings in Nagoya are the same as those in Tokyo. They are mainly civilian wooden buildings and have no resistance to incendiary bombs. Throwing incendiary bombs by a single machine can maximize the attack effect. In just half an hour, half of the city was engulfed in flames and dense smoke.
The bomber's crew members could feel the heat of the flames while sitting in the cabin.
Needless to say, after this day, Japan's aircraft manufacturing industry will definitely suffer a devastating blow, and recovery will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon.
The dispatch efficiency of the Japanese Air Force was indeed very low. By the time Japanese military planes from other cities arrived in Nagoya, it was already an hour later. By this time, all Allied fighter planes had completed their missions and returned.
It is impossible to catch up, and it is impossible to catch up. Even the heaviest bomber in southern Africa can fly faster than the Type 97.
