From the initial 11 states to the current 30 states, the territory of Southern Africa has expanded by about 60% compared to the autonomous period.
This does not include overseas territories. From the Bahamas in the Americas, to the Changi Naval Base in East Asia, to Malta in the Mediterranean, and Port Elizabeth in the Persian Gulf, Southern Africa has many overseas territories. The area of these overseas territories may not be very large.
The location is extremely important. This is Southern Africa's capital to dominate the future world.
Roque is still very satisfied with the current situation. He has laid a solid foundation for Southern Africa. No matter who succeeds Roque as prime minister, Southern Africa will dominate the world.
"Normandy, the landing place is in Normandy, this is the most suitable location." Rocker based on reality, Normandy is the best choice.
There are many ports suitable for landing on the coast of France. The reason why Normandy stands out is that the German defense in Normandy is weak. If the Allies choose Normandy, they will face less difficulties.
Of course, Dunkirk and Saint-Roch are also candidates. If the Allied landings in Normandy are blocked, then Dunkirk and Saint-Roch will become the second choice for the Allied landings. This is all planned.
"Yes, there are flat beaches in Normandy, and the nearby terrain is gentle, which is conducive to us establishing an advance base." Martin catered to Rock's choice. Even if Rock chose to land in Troms, Martin would agree.
Troms is one of the northernmost cities in Norway, far away from Germany. Rock would only choose Troms if he was crazy.
Regarding the forward base, this is the biggest difficulty the Allies currently face.
It is very painful to launch a landing station on the European continent without a fulcrum. The Hundred Years War between Britain and France was only possible because Britain owned the area around Dunkirk.
Japan's expansion in East Asia was smooth sailing because it had the peninsula as a fulcrum.
Different from what many people think, Japan was not an island country before the outbreak of World War II. As early as after the Sino-Japanese War, Japan annexed the Korean Peninsula. At this time, Japan's land area had reached more than 600,000 square kilometers. If additional
The puppet Manchukuo with an area of 1.13 million square kilometers, Japan is one of the great powers in the world.
"We must pay attention to the progress of the Russian battlefield, try our best to occupy Berlin before Russia, and bring all German talents and technology back to southern Africa. This is our most important purpose." Rock knows what is most valuable about Germany,
Americans can no longer think of rising through Germany in this time and space. Southern Africa has already begun preparations a long time ago.
After the end of the last world war, Southern Africa benefited greatly from Germany. At that time, the British dismantled German factories and Southern Africa took away German talents. Now it seems that Southern Africa has obviously benefited more.
It's the same this time. Sometimes Rock has to envy Germany's talent pool. The German character is indeed very suitable for scientific research.
"What do you want the Germans for? Kill all the Germans!" Kitchina was violent. He had been fighting the Germans all his life, and his hatred could not be resolved.
After graduating from Woolwich Military Academy, the first war that Kitchener participated in was the Franco-Prussian War. At that time, Kitchener joined the French army as a volunteer, and his military career began.
Now that Kitchina is old, his hatred for the Germans has not weakened at all. He is not just saying this, but he really intends to do it.
Rock will definitely not agree to Kitchener's proposal. There are still many Germans in southern Africa. Ad is only half German. Abu, Diesel, Professor Hao Silin and others are all pure Germans.
Rock must take care of their feelings.
After the war broke out, Abramovich and Diesel fully supported southern Africa and completely separated from Germany. Diesel's personal donation has exceeded 10 million rand, and Abramovich's personal donation has also reached 1 million rand. This is for a group of people.
For a university professor, based on today's salary, it is almost his salary in 500 years.
500 years is not an exaggeration. The average annual income of professors in southern Africa is now about 2,000 rand. Because of his patent income, Abu has long surpassed the income level of ordinary people and has become a standard tycoon.
"We will consider doing this," Martin said with a smile, and the elderly had to be coaxed to come. Anyway, Kitchener could no longer hold the gun.
After the military meeting ended, Roque attended the financial budget meeting without stopping.
It is already November, and the annual budget for the next fiscal year needs to be reviewed by Roque. Southern Africa is now in a state of war, and the budget does not need to be submitted to Congress for approval. Roque's power has been greatly increased.
"We issued a total of R5 billion in bonds this year. Most of them were purchased by banks, and only a small amount flowed into the society. Rand Bank purchased R2.2 billion and is now the largest creditor of the federal government." Aida is very satisfied with the current situation in southern Africa.
In terms of financial situation, Southern Africa issued 5 billion rand of bonds this year and earned much more than this, at least twice as much.
The only regret is that Southern Africa only makes money on paper. In fact, Britain, France, and Russia have no money to repay. In the end, they may have to use national taxes or resources to pay off the debt.
This actually doesn’t matter. Loans carry interest, and the benefits are huge in the long run.
"What is next year's fiscal budget?" Roquelo was worried that other countries would say that Russia has a history of defaulting on its debts.
In the last world war, Russia relied on Britain for hundreds of millions. As a result, the British government had to cut back on food and clothing, and it would not be able to recover for more than ten years.
After the outbreak of this world war, Southern Africa continued to provide Russia with various aids, ranging from heavy weapons to daily necessities. So far, Russia has owed Southern Africa tens of billions of rands. With the Russian government’s current
In terms of financial ability, this debt cannot be repaid at all.
Rock and Big Beard have an agreement that Russia will use resources to pay off its debts. Regardless of whether it takes fifty years or a hundred years, Big Beard promises that these debts will be paid off.
Considering that the bearded man is now several dozen years old, Roque is worried that in a hundred years the bearded man will succeed the Russian leader who will default on his debts.
"About 19.7 billion rand, but this number is definitely not accurate and may be increased at any time." Aida is not very confident. The war is too expensive. In Southern Africa, it is only controlled within 20 billion rand due to cuts from many parties. Otherwise, the budget
It will be much higher.
"Oh my god, if Russia can't win again, we won't be able to hold on anymore." Roque doesn't need to pretend in front of Ada. They are also an old couple and know each other well.
This is not driving. If you want to tilt yourself and face the wall, your thoughts are too impure.
"It doesn't matter much. We have oil from Port Elizabeth, iron ores from Australia and Brazil, and copper mines from Katanga. If we simply fight for consumption, we will definitely have the last laugh." Aida is still confident, and the South
Africa is indeed extremely rich in terms of resources.
Rock could only pray that the war would end as soon as possible. What Ada said was true, but the process was too difficult, and Rock still wanted to relax.
An Qi also wanted to relax, but the Japanese were too cunning, and MacArthur kept trying to increase his presence. The latest news An Qi received was that MacArthur intended to compete for the next president of the United States.
This is really not groundless.
Roosevelt has now started his fourth term. If nothing goes wrong, Roosevelt's presidential term will last until 1948. MacArthur needs to gain enough reputation before then.
So MacArthur is very active now. He keeps urging the US military to attack north. At the same time, he also hopes that Angel can continue to attack the Japanese mainland through the coastline. It is best to land directly on the Japanese mainland, so that MacArthur can get enough in the shortest time.
Lots of praise.
An Qi didn't want to do this. A gradual and step-by-step attack on land would be able to cause continuous damage to the Japanese. Sooner or later, the Japanese would surrender.
There is no problem in continuing to attack the Japanese mainland through the coastline. The Allied Air Force has always done this. In more than half a year, the Allied Air Force has bombed Japan's major cities. Several major cities, such as Tokyo and Osaka, have been bombed.
Many times, the Japanese suffered heavy losses, many cities were razed to the ground, and urban residents fled into the countryside to escape the war. It would certainly be irrational to launch a landing war at this time.
"Have you ever calculated how much our losses would be if we launched a landing operation?" Angel didn't want to be prime minister, and she didn't have MacArthur's ambition.
"Even if we have to lose 10 million people, we can kill at least 20 million Japanese." MacArthur's words made Angel even look askance.
This is 20 million people, not 2,000.
It is said that the success of a general can lead to the death of thousands, but it is rare to be as cold as MacArthur. He has risked everything for the sake of honor. An Qi cannot be so calm and calm.
This is also a common problem among many American generals. Eisenhower worked hard to gain credit in North Africa, and MacArthur was not idle in the Far East. Both of them are crazy now. It will definitely be a tragedy for the United States if they are allowed to become the president of the United States.
"Do you want 10 million southern Africans or 10 million Americans to die?" Angel didn't like MacArthur. Isn't this simply a disregard for human life?
"It is worthwhile to make some sacrifices for victory. Our purpose is to destroy all ambitions of the Japanese and make them fear the war from the bottom of their hearts. Japan is a country that is afraid of power but not moral. Only by making the Japanese feel
Only when they feel the pain, will they understand the cost of launching a war." MacArthur did not restrain himself. He would not go to the front line anyway.
After retaking the Philippines, MacArthur took his full-time photographer to Manila and took the famous "I'm Back" photo.
This photo was completely staged. About a company of engineering troops spent a week building a plank road for MacArthur so that MacArthur could land more easily.
MacArthur did not appreciate it. In order to prove that he had fulfilled his promise, he jumped into the sea and waded onto the beach. Everyone was stunned. They did not expect that someone could be so obsessed with honor.
"No, we can't do that. The parents of the soldiers handed over their children to us, not to use their children as consumables. I think they will definitely be willing to return to their hometowns safely." An Qi decisively refused, and this suggestion was replaced by
Rock wouldn't agree either.
"So you are obsessed with sending bombers to carry out painless bombings on Japan?" MacArthur said unhesitatingly.
"Doesn't it hurt or itch? Ha, I hope the Japanese think the same way." An Qi is not angry, the power of the bomber is not small at all.
While Angel and MacArthur were arguing, a group of Allied bombers flew over Tokyo again.
When the bomber passed over Tokyo, all the crew members were speechless, because there were no targets in Tokyo to bomb, almost all the buildings had been razed to the ground, and the port facilities had been repeatedly bombed.
, there are probably not even a few people in the whole city, isn't this a waste of bombs?
"What should we do? Do we want to continue the mission?" Thomas the bombardier yelled at the top of his lungs. In fact, it didn't need to be so loud. The crew members all wore earphones and the sound was heard very clearly.
"Just pick any target you think is valuable, and use all the bombs as soon as possible, so that we can complete the mission as quickly as possible." Captain Luke looked at Tokyo like a dead city through the hanging window, but he didn't feel at all.
How happy.
In the past, when bombers flew over Tokyo, Japanese fighter jets took off early to fight, and the ground air defense forces were also ready. They used various means such as fires that released smoke, hot air balloons that blocked the view, etc., but they were still left to the allies.
Military pilots created some difficulties.
Not to mention the fighter jets, even the hot air balloons are gone. Japan has indeed reached the end of its rope, but it has not surrendered yet. It is as stubborn as an Akita dog.
"Have you heard? Japan has a relocation plan. If the mainland is attacked, Japan will move all the government and royal family to the mainland and fight us to the end." Navigator Lily is keen on various gossips that have not been confirmed through formal channels.
, there are many female soldiers in southern Africa, and they do not resist dangerous tasks.
This is true self-reliance. Same work, same intensity. Some female soldiers even complained directly to the Ministry of National Defense because the military gave them some care.
"Ha, even if they get into the mouse hole, we will dig them all out and hang them at the port." Thomas is a bit cruel, hanging is too cruel, Ling Chi is almost the same.
Before Lily could say anything, Thomas suddenly let out a strange scream, and he finally found a seemingly valuable bombing target.
In fact, it is not very valuable. This is the only intact house within several kilometers. This house is so lucky to have escaped so many carpet bombings, and now all its luck has finally been exhausted.
"Get ready to drop the bomb, let's complete the mission as soon as possible." Luke tried his best to keep his balance. The height of 2,000 meters is most conducive to the use of incendiary bombs. Eighty percent of the buildings in Tokyo were destroyed by incendiary bombs.
