Rock moved von Braun and Walter from Germany to southern Africa, partly because of the abilities of von Braun and Walter, and partly to delay the research of rockets in the United States and Russia.
If possible, it is of course better to completely block it.
However, Rock also knew that it was impossible to block, and being able to delay as much as possible was the result of Rock's best efforts.
In the rocket field, the United States still has powerful people like von Karman, so with or without von Braun, the United States will make a breakthrough in the rocket field sooner or later, just sooner or later.
Russia is even more terrifying.
Although Russia does not have famous geniuses like von Karman and von Braun, there are countless unknown geniuses in Russia's huge and bloated system.
Rock still remembers that in another time and space, Russia sent humans into space before the United States.
The United States got von Braun and his R&D team.
Russia only received some research materials and physical objects.
In the end, Russia was able to lead the United States in the field of rocket research.
If the United States hadn't raced on the moon with divine help, it's hard to say who would win in Star Wars.
This is the power of the system.
In the face of a strict system, the so-called genius is more of a leader established through the god-making movement. Unless he is as powerful as Nikola Tesla, his role will be very limited.
Rock understands the value of the system and the role of the god-making movement, so Southern Africa has been on the right path from the beginning, grasping both sides and being strong with both hands.
There is no conflict between the two. The system can ensure the bottom line, and God can expand influence. People like Nikola Tesla only appear once in hundreds of years. Without God, doesn’t technology need to progress?
So for von Braun and Walter, as long as they don't have too many problems, they will become the best propaganda tools for the federal government in Southern Africa.
This is another demonstration effect of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars.
If Southern Africa wants to continue to develop, it needs to continue to absorb high-quality talents from all over the world. If even von Braun can show his talents in Southern Africa, then others will come to Southern Africa from thousands of miles away.
, and will definitely be able to realize their dream of southern Africa.
Regarding the "Southern African Dream", the propaganda work actually started many years ago. Robert Goddard and Rudolf Diesel were both representatives of the Southern African Dream, and they became famous for a while.
Goddard and Diesel are not the same as Nikola Tesla.
Tesla had already become famous before he came to southern Africa. Although he was suppressed by Edison and was financially bankrupt, Tesla still relied on his contribution to the electric power field and became a signature figure of the American Society of Electrical Engineers.
Although Goddard and Diesel are both geniuses in their respective fields, they did not reach Tesla-like heights in their respective fields before coming to Southern Africa, which left the best propaganda for Southern Africa.
convenience.
Von Braun is different from Goddard and Diesel.
Before Goddard and Diesel grew into industry leaders, although they became the laughing stock of the media, they were still their own people and did not break away from this category.
Von Braun caused huge losses to Britain because of the V2 rocket, so the publicity against von Braun must be different from the focus of Goddard and Diesel.
Now this work has actually begun.
As mentioned earlier, von Braun's arrival in southern Africa was strongly opposed by the United States, which hoped that Southern Africa would hand over von Braun to the International Court of Justice for trial.
So how to exonerate von Braun has become the main task of the media in southern Africa.
It is also very simple to clear von Braun's charges. Just describe von Braun as a victim of Germany's war.
As a result, in newspapers and magazines in southern Africa, von Braun transformed from the chief designer of the V2 rocket to a victim who was forced by the German government to participate in rocket research.
Even so, von Braun, as a pacifist, still had reservations about the research of V2 rockets.
This is tantamount to clearly telling the British not to pursue von Braun's crimes anymore. If von Braun had not shown mercy, the performance of the V2 rocket would have been more powerful, and the British losses would have been greater.
As for whether the British believed it or not, Rock didn't care.
If Britain turns against Southern Africa because of von Braun, it means that Southern Africa is not irreplaceable to Britain.
Since it is irreplaceable, then the relationship is not strong enough. Even if there is no von Braun, there will be the Rand Gold Mine, the Suins Canal, the British Pound, etc., etc., and the relationship will collapse sooner or later.
Although Von Braun was important, it was dwarfed by the Rand Gold Mine and the Suins Canal.
Not to mention the British pound. Compared with the international status of the British pound, von Braun is not even a drop in the bucket.
In order to avoid the resistance of Southern Africans to von Braun, Southern Africa also treated everyone equally in internal propaganda, and von Braun could naturally see reports about him in newspapers and magazines.
"This is the source of my confidence. Even if southern Africans look down on my talent in the rocket field, as long as I still have value, southern Africans will not give up on me." Von Braun has a clear understanding of himself.
As long as southern Africa needs it, von Braun will cooperate unconditionally.
"Even if I give up rocket research for this, is it worth it?" Walter's mood finally calmed down a bit.
Compared with von Braun, although Walter's position is higher, his importance is obviously lower.
In southern Africa, even von Braun could protect him, so Walter would have no problem.
Of course, if he were to change from the director of the Rocket Research Institute to a propaganda tool in Southern Africa, the level of importance would definitely be different.
"You have to survive first before you have a chance to realize your dreams." Von Braun never gave up on his ideals.
Roark did not give up either. He was working hard to maintain the relationship between Russia and the Allied forces on the Western Front. He did not want to see World War III unfold in another way just after World War II ended.
There's still a chance, Postan.
With Germany's defeat and surrender, the war in Europe finally ended, and the fruits of victory were about to be divided.
"This is not a gluttonous feast, it is not even a cake, it is just a bitter pill of war, but we cannot refuse it yet." Yang Shimozi summed it up well. As one of the few people who participated in the two world wars, Yang Shimozi
Shimozi was really tired of the war.
On the day Germany announced its surrender, Yang Smuts submitted his resignation to Rock, intending to resign from all positions and return to his hometown.
Rock repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay on the grounds that the war in the Far East had not yet ended, and Southern Africa really needed Yang Smuts, the man who knew Europe best, to fight for Southern Africa's interests as much as possible in the following spoils-sharing meeting.
There is no "spoils" left to divide. Germany has run out of resources after the war. No one wants people and no money. Yang Smuts can't think of anything else that Germany has that is worth fighting for in southern Africa.
.
There are no benefits, but a lot of burdens.
In order to discuss how to deal with Germany, Big Beard proposed to hold a meeting in Potsdam near Berlin. By the way, the Western Front Allies could witness how the Russian army treated Berlin civilians well.
Some time ago, the Allied countries on the Western Front made extensive reports on the various atrocities committed by the Russian army during the attack on Berlin, which had a great impact on Russia's image in the Western world.
This is another proof of the importance of the right to speak.
Should Russia retaliate against Germany?
Well, the Germans have themselves to blame.
Was Russia the only country that ignored international law and committed various war crimes during the war?
Of course not. The Allied forces on the Western Front had similar behaviors in Germany and the Allied forces on the Far East in Japan. However, the reports from the Allies on the Western Front only focused on the behavior of the Russian army in Germany and selectively reported on the behavior of other Allied forces on the battlefield.
There is no bottom line.
People can carry a boat, but they can also overturn it. Big Beard also realized that the Western Front Allied Forces' reporting on Russia would seriously affect Russia's international image. Therefore, after the Battle of Berlin, Big Beard asked Zhukov and Chuikov to strictly enforce military discipline.
, and under extremely difficult circumstances, transported a large amount of living supplies to Berlin.
Discipline, as long as the requirements are strict, will definitely play a certain role.
In the early days of the war, in order to boost morale, Russia not only did not restrict Russian soldiers' extraordinary behavior, but instead encouraged them in various ways, which resulted in the current results.
Big Beard gave an order to shoot Russian soldiers who did not comply with discipline, and the discipline of the Russian army immediately took on a new look.
It must be said that this order has a strong personal style of the bearded man.
They tightened their discipline and shipped a large amount of daily necessities to Berlin, which led to the subsequent Potsdam Conference.
"It doesn't matter, even if we have to pay some price, it's still worth it." Roque was already prepared to get nothing.
Southern Africa had already got what it really wanted. Rock and Jan Smuts went to Potsdam for a meeting without any expectations.
If there is no hope, there will naturally be no disappointment.
"We already have the best image display window of St. Roch." The more Yang Smozi thought about it, the more he lost. He just got nothing and had to find a new one. There was no business to do.
As early as the Yalta Conference, Big Beard proposed to imitate the mandated territories after the end of World War I and hand Germany over to Russia as war compensation.
This request was collectively opposed by southern Africa, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Germany's technical capabilities plus Russia's war potential were acceptable.
At Roosevelt's funeral, the Russians brought up old matters again and once again raised their demand to monopolize Germany.
This time, we still encountered collective opposition from South Korea, Britain, and the United States, so we couldn’t even think about it.
The difference from the Yalta Conference is that at Roosevelt's funeral, although the Russians' demands did not succeed, Rock, Winston, and Truman's attitudes were somewhat relaxed, and they were no longer as strong as during the Yalta Conference.
During the Yalta Conference, Germany still had some remaining strength, and Russia's attitude was not very firm. At that time, Russia still needed assistance from the Allied Forces on the Western Front.
At Roosevelt's funeral, the German army was retreating steadily and its collapse was imminent. The 10 million Russian troops were putting increasing pressure on the Allies on the Western Front. Rock, Winston, and Truman had to relent and agreed that the Battle of Berlin would be fought solely by Russian troops. conduct.
Now that Germany has been defeated and surrendered, Russia's strength has reached an unprecedented level, and the bearded man's demands will also reach their peak with the strength of the Russian army.
Before Luo Keyang Smozi set out, he had an estimate of the Russians' requirements.
Rock's bottom line is that the Russian army and the Allied forces on the Western Front will divide the occupied areas according to the existing front lines and be managed by each country.
To put it bluntly, whoever grabs it belongs to whomever, don’t eat what’s in the bowl and look at what’s in the pot.
As for how to divide the Allied forces on the Western Front, that is their own business.
Although this result is not perfectly in line with the interests of Southern Africa, it is already the best solution at present.
There is only one reason: we cannot fight three wars now.
Yang Smozi's attitude is also very obvious. Since Germany is no longer profitable, southern Africa might as well learn from France, leave behind and hide its merits and fame.
Well, the French are actually not that free and easy. De Gaulle was unable to go all out in the war against Germany simply because he was too preoccupied with himself.
With Roque's character, if Southern Africa is ruled by Germany, then Roque will definitely invest heavily in the management of southern Africa, turning it into an image display window similar to Saint Roque, and providing various outputs.
"Germany is not only a window, but also a bridgehead. We must defend it." Roque does not want to see Russia dominate Europe. That is completely inconsistent with the interests of southern Africa.
Considering Russia's contribution to World War II, it is appropriate to give some benefits to the Russians.
But Roque really can't do it if he wants to give up all of Europe to Russia.
The best solution would surely be to confine Russia to landlocked areas.
In this way, Germany will surely become the bridgehead to contain Russia.
This is also the consensus of Rock, Winston, and Truman.
Roark was certain about the bottom line of the Potsdam Conference, and Truman should have been mentally prepared. However, Roark was not sure about the British side.
The current situation in the UK is very complicated.
Before the war was over, Winston's political opponents in the UK were already impatient and ready to attack Winston.
At that time, Germany was still resisting. In order not to have any impact on the Allies, the British endured hard and have endured until now.
On the day Germany surrendered, British Labor Party leader Attlee called for a general election without even waiting for the war to end.
Winston definitely disagrees, because holding an election at this time would be very detrimental to Winston.
The war is not over yet, and the spoils-sharing conference has not yet begun. The British only know that the war has lasted for several years, living standards have plummeted, and Britain's international status has plummeted. Who should be responsible for this consequence?
Winston is the Prime Minister, so the blame can only be shouldered by Winston.
