Compared with the United States, it is obvious that Southern Africa and Free France, which was deeply influenced by Southern Africa, have found the correct way to open Africa. The United Kingdom, which claims to colonize the world, has not done this.
Africa is really a treasure. It has a vast land, abundant resources, a large population, fertile land, and abundant resources. If you think about South Africa in another time and space, which had been holding back for decades and almost created a developed country, you will know how much potential this continent has. .
To put it bluntly, even if Southern Africa does not develop industrial deep processing and only sells resources, it can become a developed country.
Free France has mastered the essence of southern Africa in this regard, and these African-American soldiers are indeed very useful. American soldiers still need drug stimulation to maintain their will to fight. African-American soldiers only need a word of praise from an officer to inspire all their courage.
It must be said here that Southern Africa has indeed achieved the ultimate in combat support and is not at the same level as the US military.
Providing cover for the attacking forces were more than 20 light and heavy machine guns and 12 mortars.
Although the amphitheater was built of stone, its strength was still limited. Under the continuous attacks of the US military, the Italian defenders' defense was already crumbling.
The attack of the Free French Army became the straw that broke the camel's back. The morale of the Italian defenders quickly collapsed under the attack of the Free French Army.
A small group of Free French soldiers took the lead in approaching the collapsed southeastern corner. Dozens of grenades were thrown in together. Before the smoke had completely cleared, a red-eyed black man rushed in first with a rifle with a bayonet.
It should be noted here that the Free French Army is now also equipped with Nyasaland rifles.
The instruction manual of the Nyasaland rifle makes it very clear that after installing the bayonet, the shooting accuracy of the rifle will be affected to a certain extent.
For soldiers of the Free French Army, shooting accuracy is something that only precision shooters will consider.
In the eyes of riflemen, bayonets were obviously more likely to break the defenders' will to fight.
Not just any army has the courage to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
If the Italian troops on the Russian battlefield had not been desperate and knew that surrender would mean death, they would not have fought to the end.
The Italian troops in Sardinia have obviously not reached this point yet.
The treatment given to prisoners by the Allied forces in the Mediterranean was very good. As long as they obeyed the management, they had a high chance of returning home after the war.
As more and more Free French soldiers entered the amphitheater, the gunfire gradually became sparse.
At this time, Shen Fei was finally in the mood to chat with Thomson.
"Have you learned it?" Shen Fei's expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Thomson nodded sadly, then shook his head.
The Free French Army did not clear the area when they attacked. Thomson witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of the battle between the Marine Corps and the Free French Army.
Eyes tell Thomson learned.
His brain told Thomson: No, you can't!
Thomson is not smart enough to get pregnant just by looking at someone.
American soldiers cannot learn how to fight without overwhelming force.
"It's actually very simple. You just need to send out soldiers and launch an attack in accordance with the requirements of the "Infantry Drill Code". Of course, the prerequisite is that the "Infantry Drill Code" must be available first." Miller added insult to injury. This statement was too Versailles.
The French Army once had a great time, and not just any country could do it in a one-on-one battle across Europe.
A country like the United States, with a history of only a hundred years, still has a gap in heritage compared to France.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the gap between Southern Africa, which has only a few decades of history, and France is even greater.
But that’s not what they say. It doesn’t matter if the country is just established. The key is cultural inheritance.
No matter what problems you encounter in southern Africa, you can probably find the answer if you go back and look through the history books.
The United States is very miserable. If you want to read history books, you have to read British ones.
Then I discovered that most of the time in history, the British were playing in the mud in the British Isles, and the glory of human civilization was in East Asia.
This is so devastating that I can't even accept it emotionally.
So now you can understand why Europeans admire squinting so much.
This is blatant vilification.
Look at the female stars in Europe and the United States. Which one of them doesn’t have clear eyebrows and bright eyes? It doesn’t matter whether they have a good-looking face or not. Big eyes are a standard feature.
"Go away, you are nothing without the help of southern Africans." Thomson said with disgust on his face.
Shen Fei said a few words, and Thomson tolerated it.
After all, the gap is obvious. It's useless not to admit it. It's a disgrace to the integrity of the body.
What is Free France?
They are just a group of cowards who joined in after being defeated. They are only qualified to cook in the kitchen and make wine part-time. Where do they have the right to speak?
"Hahahaha, you are in the Far East. Don't you also need the help of southern Africa to defeat the Japanese? The reality is that without our help, you can't even defeat the Italians. Wake up, Americans." Miller slapped him in the face.
"Yankee" means similar to "devil".
At this time, a group of Italian prisoners were escorted out of the theater by Free French soldiers.
The American soldier, who had been sluggish just now and looked half-dead and ready to die at any moment, suddenly became energetic.
"Hey, hey, hey, these prisoners are ours." Several American soldiers took the initiative to greet them.
"You're welcome, this is what we should do." The Free French soldiers thought the American soldiers were expressing their gratitude.
The proportion of Americans who can speak French is really low.
There are many French people who can speak English. The Free French Army is a force composed mainly of North Africans, so not many can speak English.
Of course, the possibility of deliberately pretending to be stupid cannot be ruled out.
"We paid a huge price to attack the theater, and these prisoners are ours," the American soldier repeated.
"Come, look at my mouth, Fake Squid" the Free French soldier pretended to be stupid.
Miller laughed when he saw this scene.
"You tough-talking American, can you show me some face?"
Thomson's face turned red like a prawn that had been stifled for half an hour.
Shen Fei folded his arms and watched the show. Anyway, the Marine Corps only consumed some bullets and shells, not even a scratch.
The Italian defenders still caused some casualties to the Free French Army. Those who died in the battle will receive pensions, and the injured are receiving treatment. The Marine Corps medics with red crosses embroidered on their white sleeve bands are very busy.
The Free French Army also has medical corpsmen.
However, in terms of technical proficiency, the gap is more obvious.
When the Southern African military doctor is present, the Free French Army doctor will take the initiative to be an assistant, and everyone takes it as a matter of course.
American soldiers are not good at fighting, but they are very active in grabbing credit.
The Free French Army will definitely not let the duck they have obtained fly away, and both sides are full of gunpowder.
"Gentlemen, what are you doing? The battle is not over yet?" A group of British troops arrived belatedly, and the officer leading the group was dumbfounded.
"The situation is like this," Shen Fei took the initiative to explain.
The expression on the British officer's face was hard to describe.
Soldiers should still have some dignity, they can't be inferior to bandits.
But considering American genes
This is also understandable.
"The fighting in this city is still going on. Why don't we wait until the fighting is over?" the British officer used traditional skills.
"We dare not fight side by side with such people, but you can, after all, you are all Anglo-Saxons." Miller fired with all his firepower, and the Gallic Chicken Man was invincible.
"Sir, C Company needs our support." The signal soldier rescued the enemy in time and saved Thomson who was almost dead.
"That's it, goodbye." Shen Fei said goodbye politely.
"Never see you again, wait for me." Miller hugged Shen Fei's thigh tightly, completely falling in love with the feeling of fighting together with the Marine Corps.
To a standard French person, this feels as good as cutting butter with a table knife.
In the short but fierce battle just now, the Free French Army lost less than 20 people, killed at least 150 enemies, and captured 250.
This credit is like picking it up for free. After the battle is over, Miller will have at least one more star on his shoulders.
Soldiers were able to upgrade so quickly during the war. In peacetime, if you want to add a star, you would have to wait at least two or three years.
Unlike the amphitheater, Company C had a hard nut to gnaw on, a stone castle built on a mountain.
As a military fortress in the cold weapon era, the castle is surrounded by dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The amphibious and land tanks equipped by the Marine Corps have weak armor and seriously insufficient defense due to the need to reduce weight.
The defenders in the castle were definitely Germans, and their combat effectiveness was one level higher than that of the Italians. Company C launched two probing attacks, both of which failed.
"The Germans have at least two anti-tank guns and an unknown number of anti-aircraft machine guns. Now the Germans are clever and imitated us and turned the anti-aircraft machine guns into high-level dual-purpose machine guns. The castle is built on a cliff, and there is only a rugged mountain road to go up. "The tank can't get up." Lindbergh, the commander of Company C, had nothing to do, otherwise he wouldn't have called for support.
"Didn't you call for naval gun support?" Shen Fei didn't want to attack by force. If the problem could be solved with artillery, he would never use the life pile of soldiers.
"You may not believe it, but this castle is the property of the Italian royal family, so the higher-ups hope that we can exercise some restraint." Lindbergh was also speechless. How could we deal with so many restrictions?
"What the hell kind of bullshit order is this! Why should we be responsible for the property of the Italian royal family? Is this a formal order?" Shen Fei couldn't believe it. How stupid he must be to issue such an order.
"I didn't receive a written order," Lindbergh said with a look of realization.
Shen Fei suddenly realized that Lindbergh was not asking for support. This cunning guy just wanted more people to help him share the responsibility.
"You call now to confirm that this is a formal order." Shen Fei was not angry. If it were him, he would do the same.
The Marine Corps' field communications are still very advanced. The call was quickly made to the headquarters, and the staff officer who answered the call was confused.
"How is it possible? How could there be such a stupid order?" The staff officer lost his temper on the phone.
Not to mention the exiled Italian king, even if he was not in exile, even the Italian palace in Rome would not be able to issue such an order.
To protect royal property.
Or to put it nicely, they are cultural relics.
For issuing such a stupid order, one must be held accountable.
"Okay, our task now is to guard the mountain road and prevent the enemies in the castle from escaping." Lindbergh was very satisfied. This was the right thing.
Since there is only one road, all you need to do is guard the road. No matter how much supplies are stored in the castle, they will all be used up at some point.
What Lindbergh didn't know was how much turmoil his call caused in the coalition headquarters.
There were only a few people qualified to issue orders to the frontline troops, and the person responsible was quickly traced. It was a British army staff officer who said too much when issuing combat orders, which directly led to Lindbergh's over-interpretation.
The British military staff officer argued that he meant to protect if possible. If not, soldiers should not be allowed to use life piles. The order must be interpreted correctly.
When Lindbergh heard such ambiguous words, it became necessary to protect him. Otherwise, after the battle, the castle would be smashed to pieces, and it would be questionable whether some people would use the topic to their advantage.
Since the British side was involved, the matter was reported to Patton at various levels and was quickly reported to Patton.
"What do you mean by British? Is it really an over-interpretation?" Patton looked unhappy.
"It's a bullshit over-interpretation. Alexander has recently been in frequent contact with Ambrosio, the former chief of staff of the Kingdom of Italy. They may have reached some kind of secret agreement." The Italian royal family is the focus of surveillance by Brad's office, and Alvin has the most say. .
Free France is clearly advancing and retreating with southern Africa. If Britain wants to maintain the balance of power around the Mediterranean, the Kingdom of Italy must be the one to win over.
The Italian royal family once wanted to gain support from southern Africa, but was met with a cold reception. This forced Victor Emmanuel III to find another way. Although the United Kingdom is not the best choice, it is the most preferred option at the moment.
The two countries hit it off immediately and have been in frequent contact recently. They may have reached some kind of agreement secretly.
"What do you mean?" Patton is still relatively slow about politics. He is a pure soldier.
"It means that our expansion of strength in the Mediterranean has attracted the attention of the United Kingdom." Alvin laughed, which also proved from another perspective that the rise of southern Africa has become unstoppable.
In the Eastern Mediterranean, Southern Africa has a huge influence on the Sultanate of Najd. Together with Cyprus, Southern Africa's growing influence has threatened Britain's position in the Eastern Mediterranean.
There are garrisons in Spain and the Strait of Gibraltar in the Western Mediterranean and southern Africa, and Britain's influence has been weakened by more than half.
In the Central Mediterranean, southern Africa sits on Malta, which controls the transportation chokepoint of the Mediterranean and has the ability to cut off the Mediterranean at any time.
Coupled with the support of France, the traditional power in the Mediterranean, Britain's control of the Mediterranean no longer exists, and southern Africa has the strength to replace Britain's influence in the Mediterranean.
All these factors combined will definitely attract the attention of the UK.
Even hostility.
"After the war is over, can the Italian royal family be restored?" Patton was still very keen and grasped the main contradiction.
