On August 2, 1942, China announced that it would carry out a peacekeeping mission in Madagascar, mediate the armed conflict there, and carry out humanitarian relief. On 4 August, a total of 50,000 UPC peacekeeping troops successfully landed at three ports in Madagascar.
Subsequently, peacekeeping missions began.
For more than 20 years, Madagascar has been a part of the country, first with an independent uprising, with the French, and then after gaining independence, it did not stop for long, and then began a civil war. By now, it has been divided into eight major warlords and dozens of small warlords. The warlords fought each other in the dark.
Because this place is too nonexistent, no one cares about the hot fight on it. If China doesn't intervene, we don't know how long they will fight.
Admiral Yang Ning, who had just disembarked, stood in front of a destroyed village and took off his sunglasses to scan the surroundings. The village had been completely destroyed by the war, and the corpses had been reduced to bones and covered everywhere.
Yang Ning couldn't help but say sadly: "Tut-tut, it's really miserable! The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines......"
"Good poems! Good poems! The poems written by Comrade Admiral are really good!" a comrade brigadier general from the Arab Republic next to him complimented him doggedly.
Japan's Lieutenant General Norihide Abe couldn't help but roll his eyes, and the circle around him was either twitching out of the corners of his eyes or covering his mouth.
Yang Ning was also embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times: "Ahem, Brigadier General Omar, this poem was not made by me, it was written by a poet in ancient China......"
Brigadier General Omar, who slapped the wrong sycophant, blushed slightly and said, "That's what you used well!"
Yang Ning waved his hand and said to the generals of various countries: "Okay, this tragedy is enough, we want to bring peace and development to this island!"
The crowd said yes again and again.
"Comrade division commander, the headquarters has an urgent telegram ......" At this time, a Japanese lieutenant hurriedly ran over and handed Lieutenant General Norihide Abe a document.
Abe Norihide took it and glanced at it, then hurriedly ran to Yang Ning and said, "Comrade Commander, there is a change in our country, and we are required to withdraw immediately......" As he spoke, he handed the document in his hand to Yang Ning.
"Oh......" Yang Ning took it and was also taken aback.
At this time, a Chinese lieutenant also came to hand Yang Ning a document sent by the General Staff. The content is similar to the Japanese one.
"Okay, Comrade Abe, you should hurry up and prepare, I will immediately notify the shipping troops and send you back to China......"
"I'm really sorry that our army can't participate in this collective action!" Norihide Abe bowed deeply to Yang Ning. He also apologized to the generals of various countries.
Norihide Abe hurried back to prepare for the withdrawal of troops.
Looking at the blank generals around him, Yang Ning explained: "Because the United States has increased its troops on the U.S.-Japan border, the situation in Japan is a little tense now. Therefore, the Japanese comrades did not participate in this operation......"
"It doesn't matter, it's the same without Japanese comrades, it's just a Madagascar......" Brigadier General Omar immediately said.
..................................................................
On August 11, the Soviet Union, on behalf of the Third International, signed the Cairo Armistice Agreement with the British and American camps, and the two sides had a complete armistice from the date of signing, and the return of prisoners of war and captured equipment were all details.
Comrade Stalin declared that the task of liberating the African people had been partially accomplished, and now the Soviet troops needed to consolidate the fruits of victory. Following France's withdrawal from the war, the bearded comrade, the loving father of the people of the Soviet Union, also withdrew from playing. This can make the mustache jump to his feet in anger, but he can't help it.
However, fortunately, the bearded man generously allowed the Allied fleets to use the Suez Canal, promised Germany that he would continue to export oil and various materials to the Allied countries at the original price, as well as provide transportation convenience, and promised that the military ships of the British and American camps would not be allowed to pass through the Suez Canal before the end of the war, and would not allow the British and American camps to use their African territory to attack the Allies, etc., which made the mustache a little better. But relations between the two countries have inevitably cooled.
Comrade Stalin had enough money this time, not only in Greece, but also in Egypt, Sudan, and Central Africa from the hands of British and American imperialism, and in control of the Suez Canal, which made the bearded man very proud. Of course, there are some fly in the ointment of this operation, such as the Sinai Peninsula.
Originally, the Sinai Peninsula belonged to Egypt, but in the last Erathia Succession War, Egypt was severely pumped by China, and the Sinai Peninsula was occupied by China. Then China made an agreement with Britain and handed over the Sinai Peninsula to Israel, which became Israel's territory. Since then, Egypt and Israel have been at loggerheads over the ownership of the land.
The Sinai Peninsula has a dry climate and severe water shortages. Except for the little place by the sea, there is a desert in between. But Sinai is rich in resources, including oil, coal, manganese, uranium, iron, copper, etc., and in later generations, it produced a quarter of Egypt's total oil production. Now that the Jews have their hands on it, they naturally refuse to spit it out. After the "Soviet Union" liberated Egypt this time, the new Egyptian government wanted to recapture the Sinai Peninsula with the support of the boss.
However, the bearded man is still sensible, although Israel is nothing, but the Sinai Peninsula belongs to Israel, but it has the endorsement of China, and if it offends China because of such a place, it will not be drawn. So he immediately stopped the blind movement of Egypt. Now that I have just fished the ground, I can't make any extraneous branches. Anyway, the Soviet Union has a lot of land, and Stalin has no shortage of these minerals.
The Soviet Union's withdrawal from World War II had a huge impact on the world pattern. Britain and the United States, which were originally opponents, were relieved, while the German and Italian camps were so angry that they gritted their teeth. This plus and one subtraction has a great impact.
So the mustache changed his previous style and intensified his attack on the British. Many people know that the mustache guy is a pro-British faction in nature, and in World War II in the original time and space, if it wasn't for his repeated patience with the British, the opium cow would have knelt long ago. Hitler on this plane still did not change his opinion of Britain, he believed that in Europe, Britain's presence was still tolerable, after all, Britain was still at war with Germany. He did not even demand that Britain surrender, but only hoped for a cease-fire and a truce and the surrender of the North Sea oil fields to Germany, so that both sides could end the war with dignity.
But the mustache is still too naïve, in fact, the North Sea oil fields are trifled. The main disagreement was that Britain, with its thousand-year-old policy of continental equilibrium, could not tolerate the emergence of a country that controlled Europe. It doesn't matter if it's France, Germany or Russia. The strategic divergence is too big, so the mustache is a hot face and a cold ass.
Prior to this, he had repeatedly asked neutral countries to reconcile with Britain, and was even willing to give up Ireland, but he was strongly rejected by Qiu Fatzi. But now the situation is different, and the withdrawal of the Soviet Union from the war has brought about a fundamental change in the strength of both sides.
Hitler knew very well that the most important thing to be eliminated at this time was the unsightly country of Britain. Whether it is a landing and occupation, bombing or surrendering, in short, the British Isles cannot be allowed to continue to exist as a forward base for the United States in Europe. Otherwise, with the national strength of both sides, Germany will not be able to play with the United States. If the United States pulls out its forces against the Soviet Union and puts them on Britain or strengthens North Africa, the situation could collapse.
This must not be allowed to happen, and in order to eliminate this danger, Britain, or the British Isles, must be erased, and if the stubborn Anglo-Saxons refuse to surrender, then blow Britain to the ground. With this in mind, Germany began to intensify its bombing of Britain. All kinds of new missiles, as well as new heavy bombers and new fighters, were put into battle to join the bombing of Britain.
On the other hand, he planned another attack on Gibraltar, and he first negotiated with Spain to use their ground offensive on the condition that Gibraltar be returned to Spain after the war. Spain agreed, saying that he did not know anything. On August 15, Germany used the giant ground-penetrating thermobaric bombs bought from China (some of which were not used up to fight the Maginot Line, and some were new versions of the mass killer weapons bought after the Battle of Singapore), and launched a general attack on the Gibraltar Fortress, dispatching 500 aircraft to bombard the Gibraltar Fortress indiscriminately, and then the German troops of the three mountain divisions began to attack, and with the assistance of the thermobaric bombs, Gibraltar was captured in just three days.
Then the Germans crossed the strait and landed in North Africa, expelling the local Anglo-American Allied forces. With Gibraltar and Suez in the hands of the Axis powers, the Mediterranean Sea became an inland sea, and the remnants of Allied forces in western North Africa were quickly wiped out. Germany then quickly secured transportation in the Mediterranean and moved all warships and submarines to the Atlantic.
The Germans' approach to ensuring security in the Mediterranean Sea was simple and worthless, to put it bluntly. They laid deep-seated tethered mines and anti-submarine nets in the Strait of Gibraltar to completely block waters below a depth of 12 metres. As a result, Allied and neutral ships could pass over the water, while Anglo-American Allied submarines could not pass through the water to and from the Mediterranean. And if the Anglo-American Allied submarine floats to the water, it will have its own radar reconnaissance and aircraft artillery waiting.
The British, stunned by the slap in the mustache, immediately turned to the United States for help, asking for more investment in the Mediterranean, at least to retake the Strait of Gibraltar.
But the United States could not care about them at this time, because the troops they had withdrawn from Central Africa had gone south, some of them were used against East Africa, and some of them had entered South Africa as volunteers.
It's not that the United States doesn't know the importance of the Strait of Gibraltar, but the Ghanaian classmates are not as strong as Master Luo in the original time and space, and they are greatly influenced by the chaebol. The loss of the Suez Canal to the Soviet Union already made the chaebols very dissatisfied, and if South Africa was lost to Japan, he would not be able to withstand this pressure at all. Besides, why don't you hurry up and grab it while South Africa has not completely fallen, and when Japan has completely eaten it, then you have to come back later?
As a result, the United States could only do this thing that seemed speechless from a military point of view, and hastily pulled the Central African troops to South Africa to grab territory.
