Chapter 0709: Guerrilla Warfare in East Africa

The news that 1,000 German cavalry had crossed the Rhine Demilitarized Zone was widely publicized in his country.

France also knew that they could not hide it, but they had already come up with an excuse, that is, in order to maintain peace in Europe, they did not want to be the first to provoke a war.

and brought in his allies and beckoned his younger brother to condemn Germany, as if this would make the German wolf obedient.

But the more often they denounced and crusaded in the newspapers, the more sure the dwarf was that the French were a bunch of paper tigers.

This made the little man even more emboldened and decided to speed up the pace of external expansion.

The second expansion of the Wehrmacht began, from 300,000 to 2,000,000, and the little man waited anxiously for the reaction of Britain and France.

As long as the French and British troops in the Rhine demilitarized zone made a move, he would immediately and obediently retreat.

However, the performance of Britain and France stunned the little man.

Protests, denunciations, sanctions, and then endless discussions and meetings at the League of Nations that make the little dwarf wake up laughing at night from his dreams.

The original fear began to shatter, and the performance of Britain and France was like a high-quality log, filling the fire of ambition in the little man's heart one by one, making it burn more vigorously.

On March 7, the dwarfs unilaterally and brazenly announced the abrogation of the Locarno Convention, ignored the Treaty of Versailles, sent 30,000 German troops directly into the Rhine demilitarized zone, and built fortifications along Germany's western border.

The response of Britain and France is still limited to sanctions and condemnations on paper.

Even now, the British and French cabinets are still engaged in appeasement, and Baldwin, the prime minister he trusted last year, is a Conservative who has taken a moderate course, believing that even a war can be controlled if the little ones are appeased.

Baldwin's government also passed the controversial Government of India Act, which was protested and criticized by the Indian side.

They brought a lot of trouble, and for Britain now, the importance of the colony of India is self-evident.

Hijacking east of the Suez Canal, the largest source of raw materials and product dumping, a large number of British troops were stationed in India, effectively relieving domestic pressure.

The Indo-British forces in India were also at the heart of the British Far East, representing their political position and interests in the Far East.

India's huge population base was an important conscription ground for the British, who could pull millions of troops from India in the event of war.

If it causes civil unrest in India at this time, it will definitely be worse for Britain, whose economy is terrible.

Moreover, how can Britain, which lost India, be called the British Empire?

The situation is even worse in France, where the cabinet government has been like temporary workers since World War I, changing every few months.

The romantic French were all about comfort and pleasure, and the encounters of the First World War allowed Dadaism to run rampant, and even civilians took the initiative to sabotage defense facilities.

The military, for their part, focused entirely on building the Maginot Line, firmly believing that with this 'solid' line, no one would be able to penetrate the country.

The tragedy of the First World War must not happen again, and the war must be kept out of France, and conservative thinking doomed them.

Maybe they don't understand the saying that the best defense is offense.

"Hey, it's just a pig teammate. Looking at the righteous words and sharp criticism in the newspaper, Li Zitao shook his head with a sneer.

Recently, the international press has been very lively, and the war in East Africa, the confrontation of Spain with the smell of gunpowder, Germany's repeated provocations, and the peaceful rhetoric of Britain and France have all been reported with great relish.

The United States, which practices 'isolationism,' is now the most calm spectator.

There is an attitude of 'you go on, I'll see if you don't talk anyway', and there are also remarks like 'why don't you go to war yet' all day long.

Peace organizations were running everywhere, and the League of Nations was in the spotlight during this time, and people hoped that it would have the effect it was supposed to have.

But a few people know that this institution was originally an 'empty shell' in the hands of Britain and France, and it has no meaning at all.

"Is the delivery going well?" put down the newspaper, Li Zitao looked at Wang Dagou who was swallowing clouds and spitting fog, his figure was a little fat, and it seemed that the big girl's food was good.

"Serious business, what's not going well. Wang Dagou spat out his cigarette and said with a smile.

The arms trade with the state as a unit has become a serious business in his hands, which was unimaginable in the past.

"Let those who lean on us continue to put pressure on the government, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, France... Forget it, the French are now poor and about to sell pants. ”

Thinking of the situation in France, Li Zitao didn't have much hope for them.

However, the future of the Los Angeles City Bank-Luxembourg branch needs to be carefully considered, and perhaps the construction of the Swiss branch should be accelerated on a daily basis.

"Isn't it good to fight in East Africa?" said Wang Dagou with a cigar in his mouth.

The Italian-Egyptian war in East Africa exceeded all expectations, and two months ago, after Italy sent more troops and air force and tank regiments to join the war, the Egyptian army was losing ground one after another.

All countries have speculated about the war, and it is expected that it will end in 3~5 months, but no one expected that at this time, the Egyptian army would give up resistance and start a guerrilla war with the Italian army.

The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance, and the troops stationed in the city are harassed every day, and if the soldier goes out to have some fun and is alone, his body will definitely appear in some filthy stinky ditch the next day.

Compared with foreign invaders, the Egyptian army is more familiar with the land and can get more help and support from the people.

When a small group of troops is dispatched, they will be rounded into a trap by the other side, and several losses have caused Bono a big headache.

If it is a large-scale sortie, you will not even see the enemy's ass.

It was as if the whole of East Africa was filled with enemy spies and eyeliners, and they were like blind men whose eyes were shrouded in fog, and they could not even see the enemy with their empty strength.

The strength of the Italian army was constantly being consumed in this land, for which Mussolini gave a cruel order, and massacres appeared in the major cities.

Thousands of people were treated as 'spies', and their bodies were dumped in visible places such as wooden beams, city walls, and squares in an attempt to suppress local revolt.

This did work, and soon several guerrillas were betrayed and encircled, and some ignorant natives, lured by money and threatened with death, became the eyes and guides of the Italian army.

"General, we've received word that someone will be attacking our arsenal tonight. "In the temporary headquarters, a colonel is reporting to Bono.
