At this time, on a meadow about seventy kilometers away from the 118th Division, a group of combat vehicles of the East African Army was staggering.

"What the hell weather!" Major Schwartz wiped the sweat from his face and scolded indignantly, "I hate Africa when I step on a horse! It's like a steamer! No, it's an oven, and I feel like I'm about to turn into a roast goose!"

The officer took out a bottle of "Zhuge Marching Pill" imported from China, threw a few into his mouth, and drank another sip of water before feeling better. Then he angrily scolded: "I hate Siemens! These incompetent profiteers can't even make an air conditioner! It's okay at home, but it breaks down as soon as it comes out, and it's like this every time!"

Naturally, the combat vehicles on the East African side are also equipped with air conditioning, but after a heavy rain just now, the air conditioning of this battalion went on strike, and now this group of officers and soldiers are almost faint from the heat. If it weren't for the cool oil imported from China, "Zhuge Marching Pill" and other heatstroke prevention medicines, the Germans in the army would have to lie down at least half by now.

Today's sun is not poisonous, and the scorching sun is like a stove, roasting the metal parts of the chariot to the core, and the inside of the chariot is simply unbearable. For Germans from the cold temperate zone, it is almost like being in hell. Fortunately, it was not a war now, and Schwartz and the others had all the doors and windows of the chariot opened, so that it would be better. But this is only relatively speaking, and the taste of basking in the sun is also extremely unpleasant, and after a few hours, Major Schwartz, who was originally a real Caucasian, is about to become the same as his surname. Well, Schwarz means "black" in German.

At this time, an SdKfz251 reconnaissance vehicle leaned over, and the black man on it said as if offering a treasure: "Mr. Major, Mr. Major, there is a forest in front of us, and there is a spring, we can take a rest......

Major Schwartz was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "This is the good news I have heard today! Let's go and rest for a while, and then make an awning for the car with branches, or we will go to God before we see Chinese......

As soon as they heard this, the Germans, who were about to be dazed by the heat, cheered up and drove towards the woods at full speed.

In a short time they rushed into the woods, where there was a small spring, around which a herd of zebras and antelopes was drinking.

"Get out!" Schwartz shouted as he pulled out his Luger pistol. The animals were so frightened that they ran away.

"Hahahaha, alright, this spring belongs to us now!" Schwartz immediately ordered several black soldiers to go over and fetch water.

At this time, the officers and men all got out of the car, arranged a simple defensive formation, arranged a sentry, and began to rest. Several soldiers brought food and alcohol out of the car and distributed it to everyone, and some soldiers took out the vehicle-mounted cooler from the car.

"Fortunately, this refrigerator is made in China, so it's okay to toss it like this, I don't understand. Why can't the idiots of Fengrui and Siemens make such a thing......" A German captain opened the cooler and took out the beer cans inside and distributed them to everyone.

......Schwartz opened a can of Tsingtao beer, took a sip, and then said: "Their car cooler in China uses batteries, which can be charged for 72 hours at a time, and can be charged at any time." We in Germany can't do this because their batteries can't do it, and if they make it, it's either big and stupid, or it can only stay cold for seven or eight hours. ”

This kind of vehicle-mounted cold box used by Chinese companies to circle money is indeed the use of high-energy batteries, of course, the lowest-grade Tielong battery, which China itself has not used in the model, and only a very small piece, but even so, the performance is also terrifying. Of course, it's not just the cooler box that is Chinese. Many of these German and East African GIs were "made in China", and they had everything they could eat, wear, and wear.

For example, if you look at what they eat, the beer is from Qingdao, the canned luncheon meat is from Shanghai Meilin, the sausage is from Sichuan Hope, the canned fruit is from Bomud and Luzon, the canned vegetables are from Zhejiang, the chocolate bar is from Guangdong, and even the compressed biscuits are from Annam...... Even the cigarettes they took out were either from Yuxi, Nanyang, or Beijing......

At this moment, on a hillock about a kilometer away from them, a telescope wrapped in camouflage cloth crept out of the grass.

"Damn, you see these Germans eating us, drinking us, smoking us, and running to make trouble for us...... Lieutenant Ye Chenghuan scolded in a low voice: "Grandma is a bear, and she eats very well......

"I said Lao Ye, the Germans also gave money to buy it, and it wasn't given to them for nothing......" The deputy platoon commander, the third second lieutenant of Lu Province, rolled his eyes.

Well, if these two buddies follow the history of the original time and space, they died in the Anti-Japanese War the year before last. However, on the same level, they are living well, not only did they not resist the war, but even the Japanese empire that resisted is gone, and the socialist new Japan has become China's little brother. Of course, like everyone else, their positions were much lower than those of the original plane, and when they died in the original plane, they were all regimental officers. There's no way around it, history has changed beyond recognition......

Lu Xingsan said in a low voice: "And what is the food? Aren't their clothes also made in China? Even their guns are made by us......

"Ma Dan, even if you sell food and clothing, how can you even sell weapons? Aren't you making trouble for yourself now?" Ye Chenghuan felt a little unhappy.

"How can you not sell them? There are so many arsenals in the country, what can you eat if you don't export them?" Lu Xingsan pouted: "Besides, these are not sold now, who could have been counted as having to fight with the Germans in the past? If you have money, you won't make a bastard......

"Okay, should we them......" Ye Chenghuan had to change the subject.

"We only have one platoon, but the other side is close to a battalion. Even if their fried buns and potsticker dumplings are not good, but we only have four foxes in the platoon, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat them, so let's wait for the main force of the battalion to come up......" Lu Xingsan was a little moved, but he thought about his own family background, but he was not very sure.

The "fried buns" they say refer to the German SdKfz250 infantry fighting vehicle, and the "pot sticker dumplings" refer to the SdKfz251 armored reconnaissance vehicle, of course, these vehicles are just the same model name as the original space-time, but in fact they are completely different things. First of all, they are not half-tracks, but genuine tracked vehicles. Because the plane has been affected by China, the world's science and technology trees have climbed faster, and the half-track has long been found to be a kind of pit goods, because China, as the leader of the armor, has never been equipped with a half-track vehicle, and other countries will think about it when they see this and then test it themselves, and they will quickly react. As a result, the half-track has only existed in this plane for more than ten years, and after the thirties there is no such thing as national development.

And the "Fox" refers to China's latest "Red Fox" wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle. It is a new equipment with an 8*8 layout, similar in appearance to the original space-time Type 09 armored reconnaissance vehicle, and of course it is also all-electric.

"Cut, it's not a head-on confrontation with them, don't look at our fox only has a 30mm tube, but we have a total of 16 red arrows, and you can shoot one of these thin-skinned dumplings. We can do this and that...... So ...... so" Ye Chenghuan pursed his lips disapprovingly, and immediately said a plan.

The more Lu Xingsan heard this, the more he felt reasonable, and hurriedly nodded: "Well, okay...... "The task of the reconnaissance battalion is not only reconnaissance, but also counter-reconnaissance. Since you have met your peers on the other side, then of course you have to do it. Even if the opposing reconnaissance forces cannot be eliminated, they must be expelled and suppressed.

..............................................................................

After the outbreak of World War II, East Africa was largely cut off from the rest of the Central Powers, and could only be transported on a small scale by submarine, or through the UPC countries. Needless to say, submarine transportation, that pitiful capacity is a drop in the bucket for a country. However, it is also inconvenient to change hands, because on the grounds of neutrality, the People's Revolutionary Federation is very strict with the transit materials, and has to charge high transit fees for all kinds of materials, especially weapons, so the military supplies can only be transported in small quantities, otherwise they will not be able to be transferred. So they simply purchased it directly from the People's Revolutionary Federation, which was cheaper and safer.

The East African Republic is known as a model of a black country, and it can be regarded as a semi-industrialized and civilized country. The reason for this was that Germany had learned the lessons of the First World War and that it would be difficult to support East Africa in the event of a war, so it required the country to have a certain degree of self-sufficiency, at least partial self-sufficiency in light weapons and ammunition. In the 20 years after the First World War, East Africa, with the help of Germany, has established a relatively complete industrial system, which is indeed the highest in Africa, and South Africa and Ethiopia are inferior. What, you say Japan? Can Japan be considered an African country? They don't think much of it themselves.

But after all, East Africa's foundation is too thin, although their industrial types are complete, but their production capacity is a little low, far from enough to cope with a world war, so naturally they can only buy. Therefore, a large part of the arms of the East African army is now Chinese, and as for food, housing, transportation and other related materials, there are even more.

Hey, as for the arms sold, this is also an old problem that cannot be solved. It should be said that a big hooligan who has not been beaten by his own weapon is not a qualified big hooligan, and which big hooligan on the earth has not been beaten by his own weapon?

During World War I, German warships were equipped with authentic British steam turbines, and British warships were also equipped with authentic German optical instruments. There are also Japan and the United States during World War II, and a lot of American equipment on Japanese warships. The same is true of China and Japan in the original time and space, and there are also a lot of Japanese weapons on the Chinese side, and even worse, the Japanese Army is at war with China, but the shipyards of the Japanese Navy are building cruisers for China......

The Datu Dynasty is no exception, ahem, during the battle of the two mountains, the Vietnamese side had a lot of "middle aid" weapons, from grenades to tank artillery. As for the United States in the original time and space, not to mention the fact that few opponents in their previous battles did not use American products.

However, these big hooligans will not stop exporting because of "the weapons they may be sold by themselves", which is also where the confidence of the big hooligans lies, and they will not think that selling some weapons will make them doomed. On the contrary, if they do not sell weapons, I don't know how many relevant domestic enterprises will hit the streets. Besides, the big hooligans are not stupid, and of course what they take out and sell cannot be their best.

At most, they can only do not sell to belligerents and unfriendly countries, but even if these countries cannot buy directly, they can change hands through a third party. Unless there is a complete blockade and no sales are sold, it is inevitable that weapons will flow out to non-export targets, even if they are not sold. If you are afraid of this, even this little thing, then don't come out and be a big hooligan, go home and farm honestly.

Since China is the biggest hooligan on the earth, it is naturally inevitable on this issue. During World War I, the Fuxi and Nuwa, China's two earliest ultra-dreadnoughts, were pitted by their own torpedo boats, and if it weren't for the defensive design of the pillboxes, they would have knelt on the spot. In the later battles on the Southern Front, many of the weapons on the Allies' side were also made of Chinese goods, not only Bulgaria and Romania had Chinese armament divisions, but also several divisions sent by Poland and Ukraine, and even all of them were equipped with Chinese weapons.

Not to mention the friendly side, Turkey has always been a big customer of Chinese arms, as have the Anglo-Indian forces and the French North African Legion. Therefore, on the battlefield of the southern front of World War I that year, there was a very embarrassing scene, and the two sides were fighting with weapons produced by the same country or even the same manufacturer.

This is a typical "paradox"!

In fact, the army feels better about this issue, after all, the war has not been going on for long, and the Chinese arms used by the East African army are still limited to light weapons and some ammunition, and the heavy weapons are still German goods and their own local goods.

And the Air Force feels more direct. When the main forces of the two armies were still separated by a distance of several tens of kilometers, the air forces of the two sides had already begun to do a battle.

..............................................................................

June 23, 15:30. Southern Ethiopia, the airspace of the Great Rift Valley.

At this time, at an altitude of 20,000 meters above the Great Rift Valley, two Chinese Jian-10 "Big-Eyed Golden Eagle" combat reconnaissance planes were flying southward. This high-altitude and high-speed fighter born from the MiG-25 is the earliest fighter installed in the Chinese Air Force. However, Mr. Wen was not very satisfied with its performance, and it was only used for transition, so after the new generation of fighters entered service, this aircraft was transformed into a reconnaissance aircraft, making full use of its high-altitude and high-speed capabilities.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's spectacular......" Second Lieutenant Ding Yiquan, the pilot, looked down. Looking down from the window, I saw a huge "knife mark" on the ground, which was the famous "Great Rift Valley". This rift valley, which is equivalent to 1/6 of the circumference of the earth, is magnificent and spectacular.

However, Ensign Ding is not talking about this rift valley, but about what is next to it. At this time, a mechanized army was rushing along the field on the east side of the Great Rift Valley to the north, and a large area of black pressure was like a colony of migrating African man-eating ants.

"Found the main force of the First Armored Army in East Africa, azimuth XXX, course XXX, latitude and longitude XXX, speed 30 ......" The backseat observer immediately reported the data through the reconnaissance instruments on the plane, and another scout also immediately began to shoot, and used the battlefield data link to transmit the image data to the rear headquarters.

"Be careful, eight East African fighters have been spotted in the direction of 11 o'clock, they have spotted us and are climbing......" the wingman sent a warning.
