Time has passed so long that Rock only remembers that Winston was ousted after the end of the World War. He can no longer remember the specific time.
Winston's situation is very dangerous now. He may be backstabbed by the British Labor Party at any time. Rock actually reminded Winston. Unfortunately, Winston is too confident and does not believe that Attlee can pose a threat to his status.
Too much of a threat.
This sentence may be described as: Winston does not feel that he will be abandoned by the British after the world war.
After all, he was the man who was almost named Duke of Renton.
A Duke of London is actually not enough to repay Winston for his contribution to the British Empire.
This time Roque did not transit through London, but went directly to Saint-Roch. Roque still has feelings for this city.
Different from the habits of Europeans, Rock actually dislikes cities named after people.
Perhaps it has been too long since he traveled to this era. Roque has completely integrated into this era. First there was Los Angeles, and then there was Saint Roque. Roque's disgust is not enough to change this era. Since it cannot be changed, he can only take the initiative.
to adapt.
As the display window of southern Africa in Europe, Saint-Roch has recovered much faster than the surrounding French cities. The ruins of Dunkirk and Calais on the left and right have not yet been cleared. Saint-Roch has restored all its functions and is more advanced.
Better than ever, it has become continental Europe's busiest port on the Atlantic coast.
During the Normandy landings, Cherbourg, one of the main battlefields, was completely destroyed by the Germans. The mines deployed have still been cleared. There are no-navigation zones everywhere, and there is only a narrow waterway for entry and exit.
When the Allied forces advanced to Saint-Roch, the German army had been completely defeated, and they did not have time to do anything in Saint-Roch. Even the forts outside the port were intact, which made the French angry.
When the Allied forces recaptured Paris, the Germans were ready to blow it up completely. Fortunately, Choltitz's conscience found out at the last moment, and Paris survived.
Compared with Paris, the Germans made absolutely no mistakes in Saint-Roch. They returned Saint-Roch almost intact to southern Africa, which completely unbalanced the French people's psychology.
Reminiscent of the relationship between Southern Africa and Germany during the two world wars, the French have to wonder whether there is some secret agreement between Southern Africa and Germany, which is why they have such a tacit understanding.
When Roque got off the plane, Barton and Arthur, as well as other southern African officials in Europe, rushed to St. Roch Airport early to greet him.
Patton was the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Europe, and it was natural for him to greet Roark at the airport.
Arthur came to St. Roch because of the upcoming establishment of the United Nations. This organization will replace the League of Nations and become the main communication platform for the future world.
It's just communication. It remains to be seen what role it can play in linking the past of the League of Nations.
The welcome ceremony at the airport was very simple. Rock didn't pay much attention to the ceremony. After a simple greeting, Rock and Arthur got into the same car and headed to the Rock family's manor on the outskirts of the city.
The environment of the manor is very good. Standing on the balcony of the main building, you can overlook the entire Saint-Roch, surrounded by green trees, gurgling streams, the gentle sea breeze from the English Channel blows gently, the sky is clear, and the white clouds are as touchable as cotton candy.
And, after twenty years of hard work, Saint-Roch, like Cyprus, has long become the most desirable holiday destination for Europeans.
"The Russians' ambitions are getting stronger and stronger. After capturing Berlin, the Russians' ambitions are radiating to the entire Germany. Zhukov is moving his most elite tank army closer to the front. It can be seen that the Russians are doing the worst
"Preparations." Patton was extremely unfavorable about postwar Europe. If he was not careful, World War III might break out.
It is also understandable that Russia, where the working class is the master of the country, and the capitalist Western front are naturally opposed to each other in principle, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
During the World War, Russia and the Allied forces on the Western Front had a common enemy, and the conflicts were temporarily covered up and were not prominent.
Germany was defeated and surrendered, and the main dominant contradiction disappeared. The conflict between Russia and the Allied forces on the Western Front gradually emerged. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
"It is impossible for World War III to break out. The Russians are just bluffing, don't worry." Roque has a clear judgment on the situation, and the bearded man is not stupid.
Now that there are three wars, there is no certainty for Russia. With 10 million troops, Russia may be able to gain some advantages in the early stage, but it cannot replace a complete victory.
Russia's biggest shortcoming is its navy. Not to mention the expedition to southern Africa and the United States, even the Royal Navy has an absolute advantage when facing the Russian navy. Once the war breaks out, the Allied forces on the Western Front can completely prevent Russia from sailing to the sea.
.
On land, Russia's advantages are obvious.
With an army of 10 million, it is an army that has been tempered by world wars and has rich combat experience. Even Rock is not sure of a quick victory.
Mustache had enough confidence before the outbreak of the Russo-German War.
The final result was the destruction of the country and the family.
As long as Russia cannot win in a short time and prolong the war, Roque is confident that he can defeat Russia with his comprehensive strength.
But how much price Southern Africa will have to pay in this process is the main issue that Roque considers.
Can win.
But if the cost of winning is too high, then there is no need.
"What I'm most worried about right now is a misfire. The Russians will try every means to test our bottom line. If we encounter provocation, I need war authorization." Patton is also ready.
Competing interests is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If the other party takes a step forward, if you don't want a full-scale war to break out, you have to take a step back.
We are both victors in the world war. Yesterday we were life-and-death allies fighting side by side. Today we are going to fight against each other. I have no mental capacity to accept this intrusive reality.
"It's just a provocation, not to the level of war -" Roque didn't give authorization, not because he was afraid, but because it was unnecessary.
The First World War lasted for four years and the Second World War lasted for six years. How long will it take to fight the third time? Will mankind still exist after the war is over?
Not only Rock can think about this problem, but Big Beard can too.
Therefore, the Russians' provocations will only be restrained within a certain range and cannot be a desperate move.
"Russian troops are also gathering in the Ottoman direction." Compared with Patton's side, Arthur faced greater pressure.
The war in Europe is over, and if there is any conflict, it is only a minor one.
The Russians' obsession with the Black Sea outlet remains as strong as ever and they have never given up.
During the Battle of Budapest, the Bearded Man unabashedly expressed his demand for the entrance to the Black Sea, which almost triggered a conflict between the Russian army and the Southern African Expeditionary Force.
At that time, Russia still needed assistance from southern Africa, so Bearded Man reluctantly restrained himself and kept the intensity within the level of a confrontation.
Now that Russia has gained an overwhelming advantage in Eastern Europe, Big Beard also has Yugoslavia as its best ally in Southeast Europe. If Big Beard can still be rational in Europe, in the direction of the Black Sea, Big Beard has reasons to burn everything.
"That's what we're going to solve next." Roark left the issue for the next meeting.
The meeting is actually a negotiation, and it is about sharing the fruits of victory. It is not shabby at all to look ugly.
"Hurry up and take away all the benefits we can get." Roque did not miss the last opportunity.
The Russians' dream of monopolizing Germany is destined to be impossible to realize, and it is also impossible in southern Africa. The most realistic plan is to divide the river and control it.
So far, Germany's war compensation after the end of World War I has not been paid out, and now it is facing new war compensation, which Germany simply cannot afford to pay.
In terms of war compensation, Russia undoubtedly occupies the leading position. France will take away more than half of the remaining portion. How much is left for southern Africa?
Let’s not talk about the share part. Germany’s current situation does not have the ability to pay war compensation at all, so all Rock can do is to take away the benefits he can get first and talk about the rest later.
Although Germany is now completely devastated, it is still possible to loot the areas occupied by the Southern African Expeditionary Force.
For example, the Ruhr Industrial Area, which the French never forget, has many things worth bringing back to southern Africa.
Southern Africa looks down on factory machinery and so on. Germany and Southern Africa have them, and they are more advanced and more efficient.
What really matters to Rock is people.
Roque was actually surprised by Germany's talent pool.
Compared with the United Kingdom and France, Germany started the latest, unifying in 1871, even worse than Italy.
However, in terms of scientific and technological progress, the contribution of the Germans far exceeds that of the United Kingdom and France. This is why Germany has the confidence to challenge the international order established by the United Kingdom and France.
Rock has been working hard in southern Africa for forty years, but he is still very envious of Germany's talent pool. Von Braun is just one of Germany's huge talent pools, not even the best.
At the Potsdam Conference, Russia will definitely make various demands for Germany's talent reserves.
What Roque hopes now is to get rid of all the valuable things in southern Africa before the Russians make demands.
When the time comes, if there are any leftovers left, if the Russians want them, they can take them away.
"We are doing this work." Patton also knows that time is running out. The biggest opponent in southern Africa now is not the Russians, but the Americans.
The British were busy fighting among themselves, France was completely in ruins, and in the area controlled by the Allied forces on the Western Front, the only one that could compete with southern Africa was the United States.
The biggest problem in the United States is that it is unsystematic, with hammers here and there and sticks here and there, and the efficiency is far inferior to the overall actions of Brad's office.
The Americans only had a few people in Operation Paperclip, but Bullard's Office had more than a thousand official staff in Europe. Countless people were cooperating with Bullard's Office operations. All members of the Southern African Expeditionary Force were obliged to cooperate with Bullard's Office.
Actions of the German Office.
The southern African science and technology community has always had a good relationship with the German science and technology community, and the connection is very close. Even before the outbreak of the world war, Bullard's office had a list of top German scientific researchers.
In peacetime, the only way to rob talents is to win over them, not force.
Now he is unscrupulous. As long as the person Brad's office likes is willing to go to southern Africa, it doesn't matter. He kidnaps the person first and then the work can be done slowly.
Roque did not stay in St. Roch for too long. Just two days later, Roque took a special plane to Potsdam to attend the meeting.
The reason for arriving so quickly is thanks to the efficiency of Russian engineers. Just two weeks after the capture of Berlin, Russian engineers completed the repairs of Berlin Airport, which was severely damaged during the war, at a speed comparable to that of southern Africa.
When Southern African engineers are working, a large number of construction machinery is involved, and efficiency can be guaranteed.
Russia started late in the field of construction machinery. Most construction machinery is imported from southern Africa, and the quantity is not large. After all, Russia wants to spend more resources on imported weapons and equipment.
Rock didn't have time to admire the efficiency of the Russian engineers, nor did he leave the airport immediately, because Winston's special plane was only half an hour later than Rock's, so Rock simply waited at the airport for a while.
Winston is in very good condition, with vigorous steps and vigorous energy. He has a cigar that has not changed for thousands of years in his mouth. His dependence on tobacco is becoming more and more serious.
"Are you ready for the Russian blackmail?" Winston's view of Russia has not changed, and he remains as hostile as ever.
"It is understandable that the Russians paid the highest price and made the most demands." Roque sympathized with the bearded man. If Southern Africa also paid a price of 35 million people in this war, then Roque's demands would be higher than
A big beard is even more extreme.
"So?" Winston smiled and hummed. He understood, but whether he could accept it was another matter.
Rock smiled, of course he just understood.
"Are you confident in meeting the challenge of the Labor Party?" Roque is still concerned about the British election.
Winston's enemies in England were not just Attlee.
The Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, and even the aristocratic group to which Winston belongs are full of ill will towards Winston.
This can’t be blamed on people’s short-sightedness. The British are like this. They look forward when using people, and when they don’t use people, they will be abandoned immediately if they lose their value.
As Prime Minister, Winston led Britain to win the World War, which was indeed great.
However, during the years during the World War, Britain gradually lost its world leadership position. Even within the Allied Forces on the Western Front, its status was not as good as that of southern Africa and the United States. Who should be responsible for this responsibility?
There is no doubt that it can only be Winston.
"The Labor Party is a group of shameful fraudsters. It is impossible for them to gain the trust of Britain." Winston is confident that the campaign slogan of the British Labor Party is indeed similar to that of fraudsters to Winston.
This cannot be blamed on Winston. Even Attlee himself probably knows that many of the political ideas of the British Labor Party are simply unachievable in the UK.
