Chapter Eighty-Five: South Africa
As the old saying goes, things in the world can't always go smoothly, and less than 10 hours after Zhuo Fei arrived at the Cape Town transit base with the second group of expeditionary troops, a piece of news came that was not very good for the umbrella. "You're saying that Japanese troops have been spotted in South America?" Zhuo Fei was a little depressed by the newly received news, there are many Japanese expatriates in Brazil, Zhuo Fei knows, but why did the Japanese army that originally attacked the United States send troops to South America?
The silent Zhuo Fei paced back and forth, and the staff officers under him were also at a loss, if there were Japanese troops in South America, then the battle plan they had previously formulated might be overlooked. After lunchtime, Zhuo Fei still did not give a reply, until the reconnaissance team sent to South America in advance sent back the news again, and Zhuo Fei, who had been sullen, recovered a little spirit.
"The Japanese are making a good calculation, they beat the Americans in a hurry, and they gave them a few hard blows, and now the Japanese are sending troops to South America, which is prepared in advance for the back road." After reading the news sent back by the reconnaissance team, Zhuo Fei was finally able to settle down. Since the Japanese troops who appeared in South America were not coming for the expeditionary force, then things were easy to do, Zhuo Fei thought about it for a whole noon, and finally made a decision at this time.
"Don't pay attention to the Japanese troops in South America, it is only a large strength of two B divisions at best, and we don't need to pay too much attention to it. Our priority now is to gain a foothold here, and I don't want Cape Town, I want the whole of South Africa. Zhuo Fei's new orders were issued one after another, and the entire transit base became busy, and the transit base, which was already a wide area, actually expanded outward more than ten times in a few days.
Zhuo Fei ignored the fact that South Africa was a British Dominion, and even more ignored the local residents and hundreds of people who gathered outside the gate of the base to protest for days, and the more than 10,000 South Asian servant soldiers who rushed to Cape Town with the second batch of expeditionary forces had already been sent out by Zhuo Fei. St. Helena is a volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, belonging to the United Kingdom, 1,950 kilometers from the west coast of Africa and 3,400 kilometers from the east coast of South America.
In fact, as long as people with a little brain, they will not believe the statement given by Zhuo Fei, because there is only one country on the African continent now, and that is South Africa. In the entire southern part of Africa, and only in South Africa, there is a seaport suitable for large ships to anchor, and what Zhuo Fei said about sending the servant army north is to find a suitable place to go to sea, but in fact it is only to cover up Zhuo Fei's real purpose.
"Of course, it's to grab territory, otherwise I'll send the servant army troops out for something, it's hard for you to think that I really want them to find a place to go to sea." Zhuo Fei smiled and looked around at the staff officers under him, who had already been very distempered by Zhuo Fei's answers and his whimsical deployment, because they all knew that Zhuo Fei's decisions were rarely wrong. Africa is vast and rich in resources, and in Zhuo Fei's memory, Africa after World War II was a place where countries around the world used various means to seek benefits. At present, in the midst of war, all countries in the world have not really realized the importance of Africa, but Zhuo Fei cannot miss this great opportunity, anyway, in post-war Africa, it is also a situation of many heroes.
"Gentlemen, I'm very sorry, I don't know what the British government told you, but I do know that the British government has given us permission to use this port and to set up a large transit base in Cape Town." Zhuo Fei ordered the expansion of the transit base, but the officials in Cape Town and other places could not accept the endless expansion of the expeditionary force, so they came to Zhuo Fei to reason in the name of the Dominion of South Africa, but they did not want Zhuo Fei's answer to make them even more annoyed.
"Mr. Zhuo, South Africa nominally accepts the jurisdiction of the British Queen, but in fact, South Africa is a Dominion, and whether it is government decrees or the appointment and dismissal of officials, it is carried out within our Dominion." Zhuo Fei's attitude was like this, and the officials in Cape Town were not polite, and the meaning of the words was to persuade Zhuo Fei to recognize the facts clearly, and not to come to South Africa under the banner of the British government to be arrogant.
"No, no, no, gentlemen, I think you may be mistaken." The other party called himself Mr., not the Duke title granted to him by the British royal family, and Zhuo Fei knew that the other party was deliberately downplaying the connection between the expeditionary force and the British government. But Zhuo Fei didn't accept this at all, "We came to South Africa because we were hired by the British government and the royal family, and we established a transit base here, not only to assist the North American war, but also to guard against the German army in northern Africa going south. ”
"With all due respect, although the war in North Africa is changing three times a day and is moving in the direction we want to see, we all know that war is unpredictable and that any situation and change can occur and happen. According to the information we have so far, the Soviet forces that the Germans have fought on the Eastern Front are losing and retreating, and the Cossacks and the remnants of the White Russians have allied with the Germans, and there are now many rebel forces in Soviet-controlled areas. ”
Zhuo Fei's words made the visiting Cape Town officials a little confused, they couldn't think of what the war in the Soviet Union had to do with South Africa, but Zhuo Fei's next words made them suddenly realize. "Gentlemen, if the Germans had a helper behind the Soviet forces on the Eastern Front, their superiority on the Eastern Front would have been further increased. Gentlemen, if the German army has an overwhelming advantage on the Eastern Front, it is likely that their reserves will not be sent to the Eastern Front, or turn around and attack the British Isles with all their might, or send troops to South America, after all, the Japanese have already sent troops into South America The "The Strongest Soldier of the War of Resistance" You are watching now Chapter 85 There is only half a chapter in South Africa, to see the full version, please search Baidu: (Ice + Thunder + Chinese + Text) Search again after entering: The strongest soldier of the War of Resistance
