An army numbering tens of millions and possessing tens of thousands of tanks and aircraft cannot be defeated.
What's more, Russia still has such great strategic depth. When the German army was at its peak, it occupied less than one-third of Russia's land.
Now that Russia is pushing back against Germany, Mustache can only order the German troops to stand firm in Budapest, Warsaw and other cities. This is doomed to be in vain.
Russia's military strength is increasing every day, and it can produce hundreds of tanks and hundreds of aircraft every day. No matter how powerful the German "King Tiger" is, it is useless. It is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Since this year, the "King Tiger" has only
200 units were produced.
During the same period, Russia produced 12,000 tanks, including 2,700 IS-2 heavy tanks alone.
This also means that no matter how Germany fights, the infantry cannot defeat even a rocket launcher. Russia can produce tanks faster than Germany can produce rocket launchers.
That's why Big Beard dared to make territorial claims in the Far East, Black Sea, Eastern Europe, Northern Europe and other directions at the same time.
Southern Africa and the United Kingdom have now stopped supplying all supplies to Russia. Only the United States, the iron-headed boy, continues to send various supplies to Russia.
Roosevelt certainly wasn't worried about the Russians not paying back the money, because by then the president of the United States would no longer be Roosevelt.
When the first snowflakes fell, Saint-Roch began to heat the house. Residents who had evacuated from Saint-Roch before the war returned in batches. The number of people on the streets increased day by day. Shops began to open and the subway started to operate again. The city was moving at an extremely fast speed.
Back to normal.
Ziwei Restaurant on Binhai Avenue was one of the first restaurants to resume business.
To the delight of the American soldiers, Ziwei Restaurant does not refuse to provide services to American soldiers. Whether they are southern Africans or Americans, they can get perfect enjoyment here.
This is extremely rare in France. France is the country in Europe that hates the United States the most. Fortunately, Saint Roque was not affected.
"Here you can not only enjoy traditional French cuisine, but also traditional cuisine from Italy and southern Africa. I can guarantee that this trip is definitely worth it." Lieutenant Jimmy from Rhode Island drove a Ford SUV with him.
Went to Ziwei Restaurant for dinner with three colleagues.
It is said to be a Ford off-road vehicle, but it is actually a replica of the all-terrain off-road vehicle in Southern Africa. This vehicle has a simple structure and reliable performance. It can be used in almost any environment and is deeply loved by officers and soldiers.
The parking lot of Ziwei Restaurant is underground. Jimmy handed the car key and a coin to the doorman and received a polite thank you from the doorman.
This is why the service staff at Ziwei Restaurant like American soldiers.
Americans have the habit of tipping.
Southern Africa does not.
Tipping originated in London, England in the 18th century. At that time, a bowl with the words "Quick Service Guaranteed" was placed in the middle of the hotel table. Customers put their change into the bowl and they would receive prompt and attentive service from the service staff.
After World War I, restaurants and hotels in many European countries began to implement a "10% service charge" system, which increased the price by 10% as a fixed salary for service staff, thus eliminating the need for additional tips.
So in Europe, only Americans still have the habit of tipping.
This is amazing.
Even the United Kingdom, the birthplace of tipping, no longer charges separate tips, but the tipping habit has persisted in the United States.
"What traditional food does southern Africa have? Wild fruits and barbecue?" Lieutenant Tom from Philadelphia thought he was humorous. Southern Africa is no longer a remote country. Compared with southern Africa, the United States is a food desert.
It can only be said that the Anglo-Saxons really have no talent in cooking.
This is of course also related to the traditional habits of the Angsa people.
It won't take too long. If we push forward two hundred years, Britain's food types are not rich enough to start pursuing quality. It's good to be full.
"I hope you won't bite your tongue later. You may not know that there are more than a hundred types of snacks in southern Africa." Jimmy comes from a well-known family and has traveled to southern Africa many times, so he knows southern Africa very well.
"So are we here for snacks today?" Mike, who comes from the Great Lakes, is looking forward to it. Most Americans in this era have never been abroad, and they are standard country bumpkins.
"Of course not -" Jimmy revealed his identity after entering the door, and the waiter took Jimmy to the reserved room.
Ziwei Restaurant's business is booming, and you have to make a reservation in advance to get perfect service. This is why Jimmy and the others are specially dressed up. Such a meal is worth a lot of money, and only a wealthy family like Jimmy can afford it.
"Welcome--" The waiter in the box was polite and thoughtful, taking out his notebook and waiting for Jimmy to order.
Tom and Mike were unable to provide any reference advice. They were just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden for the first time, and were full of curiosity about the facilities in the box.
As the most luxurious restaurant in Saint-Roch, Ziwei Restaurant can be ranked high even in Pretoria. There is even a TV in the private room.
"Sorry, the TV station has not returned to normal yet and cannot provide programs. The Germans seem to have dismantled the equipment of the TV station and took it away." The waiter's explanation attracted unanimous condemnation from Tom and Mike. The Germans were really annoying.
Although the German army did not completely destroy St. Roch, they carried out organized robbery and basically took away everything they could. The TV set in Ziwei Restaurant was shipped from the UK.
The owner of Ziwei Restaurant was very smart. When he evacuated, he rented a warehouse in the UK in advance and sent all his valuable belongings to the UK for temporary storage.
"This is not what civilized people should do!" Mike pretended to be surprised. What the American soldiers did in Europe was no better than the Germans.
"It doesn't matter, sooner or later we will make the Germans spit out their capital and profits!" Tom said fiercely.
Probably because he recognized the accents of Mike and Tom, the waiter's expression suddenly turned cold.
Jimmy seemed unaware and did not forget to leave a tip after ordering.
For the sake of the tip, the waiter gave Jimmy a sweet smile when he exited the box.
A full fifty cents is almost a day's salary for an ordinary service worker.
Before the tipping system was reformed, many service workers did not even receive a salary at all and relied entirely on tips.
"Can you please be quiet and stop making such a fuss?" Jimmy was not satisfied with the performance of his two comrades.
Isaiah, who had been silent all this time, behaved very well. After all, he comes from the big city of New York and has seen the world.
"What's wrong?" Tom realized later.
"The waiter just now was French——" Isaiah had an insight.
"What's wrong?" Mike casually pulled the chair away. The carpet was very thick and didn't make any sound. Mike crossed his legs and found mud spots on his leather shoes, so he wiped them with a white tablecloth.
On the brand new white tablecloth, a few mud spots are not too conspicuous.
Jimmy felt a little headache. He closed his eyes and patted his forehead without looking.
"You have to be lucky that this restaurant is not in Paris, otherwise we might not be able to get in at all." Isaiah had been to France before, and then he was full of resentment towards France.
Think about a country where there are signs on the door of restaurants saying "Americans and dogs are not allowed". Americans really don't like it.
This seems to explain why American soldiers behaved so unruly in France.
Maybe you, the Gallic Chicken, feel the way you do today.
"Isn't this the territory of southern Africa?" Tom improvised some information about Saint Roque, but it was not detailed enough.
"This is the territory of Southern Africa, yes, but it was given to Southern Africa by France, so most of the lower-level occupations in this city are held by locals. Southern Africans all work in spacious and bright offices." Jimmy
Return to normal, God's way will bring good reincarnation.
It doesn't matter if the French look down on the Americans, why should they just sweep the streets in Saint-Roch?
Although in southern Africa, there is no distinction between high and low jobs in name, in fact there are still differences. At least in southern Africa itself, jobs such as street sweeping are basically done by Africans.
"What's wrong with being a waiter? My mother worked as a waiter in a restaurant." Mike didn't like Jimmy's attitude. It was obviously discrimination.
"Sorry Mike, you know I didn't mean that-" Jimmy apologized immediately.
At this time, the room door opened and the waiter began to serve the food.
What Jimmy ordered was not Western food, but traditional Chinese food. The dishes were not served one by one, but all at once, piled high on the table. This made Mike immediately forget about the unpleasantness that had just happened.
Jimmy ordered a total of six dishes. The traditional oriental dishes were full of color and flavor, and the plates were particularly large. This made Mike doubt whether the four of them could finish the meal.
"Which one should we eat first?" It was also the first time for Tom to experience this kind of scene, and he was completely at a loss.
"Whatever, you can eat whatever you want. Southern African cuisine originates from the Far East and combines the best of the East and the West. Do you need to introduce it to you? This one seems to be called Braised Crab Meat Lion Head -" While Jimmy was introducing, the waiter was opening the wine.
Not wine, but a strong liquor from southern Africa.
What kind of wine should I drink in the winter? There are still snowflakes falling outside. This kind of weather is actually more suitable for a hot pot. Jimmy still doesn’t understand the essence of Eastern catering culture.
"Come on, according to southern African custom, let's do one first!" Isaiah raised his glass with a playful look in his eyes.
People who have never drank high-strength liquor will most likely make a fool of themselves on the spot.
"Wow, what is this, medical alcohol?" Tom's nose was sharp and his expression was hesitant.
"Alcohol is not so fragrant -" Mike couldn't wait and drank up the wine in the glass.
Isaiah is probably going to be disappointed. American soldiers in this era are also well-informed. You might think that military distribution supplies include everything, including medical alcohol. The industrial capabilities of the United States are still good.
If we go to Russia, when those old guys don’t have alcohol, they will even drink industrial alcohol.
Industrial alcohol is generally 95% or 99%.
"Thank you, I will call you if necessary." Jimmy asked the waiter to exit the box to avoid talking about any sensitive topics later and avoid causing trouble.
After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
Traditional Chinese food is well-deserved and has completely conquered the taste buds of several people. This is Chinese food that has not been improved.
In another time and space, there were some restaurant owners who, in order to cater to the tastes of foreigners, abruptly created modified Chinese food, completely losing the essence of Chinese food.
General Tso's chicken is the representative in this aspect.
Chinese food in southern Africa is all authentic. In order to pursue perfection to the greatest extent, many seasonings are even imported from the Far East, and Saint-Roch is no exception.
"I heard that General Eisenhower proposed to Washington to get an enclave from France and build our Saint-Roch." Isaiah was well-informed, and the news did not spread widely.
Eisenhower was just wishful thinking. The French had to take the initiative to give it away. There is a reason to ask for it. Roosevelt couldn't afford to lose this person.
"Can building another Saint-Roch replace the status of southern Africa in the hearts of the French? I don't think so." Jimmy is not optimistic.
In both world wars, France was at home in southern Africa.
Especially this time, the Southern African Expeditionary Force saved France as the savior, and all French people will remember it.
This is really not a double standard for the French.
The British-American coalition forces and the Southern French coalition forces launched Operation "Overlord" and "Operation Dragoon" almost at the same time. The "Dragoon" side moved quickly and completed the task cleanly without causing too much damage.
It was so miserable on the Normandy side. Almost all towns were reduced to rubble, and French civilian casualties exceeded 100,000.
Therefore, the French are really not grateful to the British and American coalition forces, and are even a little disgusted.
"The general is in contact with the Russians and may go to Russia in the future." Isaiah continued to break the news. This is not a secret. Although the United States has participated in the war, its ties with Germany and Japan have not been completely severed. It is normal to flirt with Russia.
, after all, they all have similar demands.
The United States, like Russia, is eager to integrate into mainstream society.
Moreover, the United States and Russia both want to obtain at least the same status as southern Africa and the United Kingdom.
Forget about France, everyone knows that after the war, France will completely become a second-rate country.
"Shh, don't discuss this kind of topic here." Jimmy was very vigilant. For Ziwei Restaurant to open in such a short period of time, the boss must have amazing energy and a deep background. Maybe he has the Southern African military, or Brad
Office support.
Bullard has a business department dedicated to raising funds. This is no secret to the United States. The FBI will also raise funds secretly. If it relied solely on government funding, the FBI would have closed down long ago.
"What does it have to do with it?" Tom said belatedly and didn't quite understand the situation.
"It's nothing. Enjoy your food. Is it enough? Do you want more vegetables?" Jimmy took a large portion and was full. Just now he was looking at the whole table, but now he has basically bottomed out.
"Can I add some food?" Mike was already full, but not enough.
"That's so embarrassing-" Tom said embarrassedly, but his expression was extremely expectant.
Jimmy frowned, not to be stingy, but to calculate how much tip he should give.
