"You mean, we can only get the remaining 120,000 square kilometers of land in Southern Rhodesia to form British Rhodesia?"

"Yes!" Ribbintrov smiled, "You don't need to do your best to help you build this land.

In fact, Germany supported France to obtain a large piece of French Rhodesia and had another transaction: as a condition to support the French to expand their colonies, Hoffmann was preparing to gradually move more than 2 million indigenous people on Madagascar to French Rhodesia to go to Madagascar as a traditional French colony. The indigenous people were deeply influenced by France, and the French agreed to accept this group of indigenous people.

"We also need to build a Boer Republic in South Africa?"

"Your Excellency, you are more proficient in history and diplomacy than me. This is obviously a restoration of the old order. How can you talk about establishing it?" Ribbintrov said with a smile. "The Boer Republic (Republic of Transvaal) was established 90 years ago, and it lasted until at least 40 years ago, much longer than the Republic of South Africa."

"But!" Aiden wanted to say that Great Britain won two Boer Wars. But Ribbintrov obviously blocked his next statement: "My attitude towards Boer Wars has always been a clear and continuation."

The so-called distinctive and continuation is that since the period of William II, Germany has clearly supported the Boers to make trouble for the British.

"Of course, we will make a referendum. If the descendants of the Boers are willing to join the Boer Republic, we will delineate the boundaries. If there are more people, the more people, the less people." Ribbintrov explained, "The head of state prepared the armed SS army for the South African strategy, and there are many Dutch people. Can't they obtain a piece of land after fighting bloody battles?"

Aiden was so blocked that he didn't say a word: The British didn't want to send troops but wanted to get all the land, so where could there be such a free lunch?

"What else can we have left after this adjustment?" Aiden complained, "nearly nothing."

"This is not necessarily." Ribintrov shouted, "Where do you still have a lot of land? A piece of British Rhodesia; a piece of Betsanan Protectorate (now Botswana); a piece of South African Dominion, which is still nearly 1.4 million square kilometers. It is still the largest country in southern Africa, and the best plots are all in your hands."

As for Namibia, currently occupied by South Africa, it turned out to be a German Southwest African colony. Aiden didn't need to ask, Germany would definitely take it back.

After Ribbintrop's division, southern Africa was the first in the UK, with 1.4 million square kilometers; Portugal was the second in 900,000 square kilometers (the expanded Mozambique); Germany was the third in 800,000 square kilometers (Namibia); then France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands. It means that all countries have made a move in southern Africa.

Although Germany ranks third, this does not include Madagascar. If Madagascar is added with 600,000 square kilometers, Germany is the vague first in Southern Africa. However, Madagascar is generally not considered southern Africa, so Aiden did not think about this.

After this adjustment, Germany has four colonies in Africa: German East Africa (roughly including Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, Tanganyika, Malawi and part of Zambia), about 2.35 million square kilometers, German West Africa (roughly including Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Cameroon), about 1.6 million square kilometers, Southwest Africa (Namibia), about 800,000 square kilometers, and Madagascar, about 600,000 square kilometers. A total of 5.4 million square kilometers of African colonies.

Of course, Madagascar has different status from other colonies. After clearing the indigenous population, Hoffmann planned to build it into the African Republic of Germany, but he was still hesitant to build it as a third home. The African Republic obviously does not have the location advantage of the American Republic. The possibility of acting as a super-large overseas military base in the future exceeds the living space. After all, this is the only advantageous territory stuck between South Africa and Australia and New Zealand.

On the eve of World War I, France had a colony of 11 million square kilometers, while Britain had 9 million square kilometers. After this adjustment, France only reduced it by less than 1 million square kilometers, and still exceeded 10 million square kilometers, firmly ranking first; Germany jumped second with more than 5.4 million; Italy ranked third with 3.5 million (Libya, Ethiopia, part of South Sudan, Eritrea); Portugal ranked fourth with 2.15 million (Angola, expanded Mozambique), and then Belgium, and it was barely the turn of Britain to be the sixth place.

Now it is Germany's turn to play the role of a messenger in the African colonies. Germany has cut the land into pieces and introduced a large number of European countries to confront Britain.

Of course, the location reserved by the UK is still the most ideal, and the most developed areas in South Africa are still in control, not only industrial foundations, railways, gold mines, and diamond mines are all on it.

After a few days of communication, both sides still couldn't make progress. Aiden said: "If it was this situation, it would be difficult for me to explain it to the country."

"I almost forgot that there is another premise that your country must draw transport ships to provide logistics services for 1 million ship tonnage, tankers, and freighters to four or six, to assist us in mobilizing materials from the local and Middle East for large-scale use."

"This is impossible!" Aiden jumped in an anxious manner.

"Don't be overwhelmed. If we put this condition to the French, the other party will be very happy to serve." Ribbintrov reminded, "Your country does not send troops. As long as you sit and enjoy the fruits, can there be something better in the world than this?"

“I have to report to the country.”

"Of course, the army will take about 2 months to schedule and deploy." Ribbintrov reminded him that he had begun to withdraw troops from the Russian front and would gradually transfer troops to South Africa and launch an attack on around September 1."

“How can we ensure our interests?”

"Are you worried that you will not deliver it after the capture? Isn't your country still going to accept our troops to land and hand over the excess weapons and equipment? We will maintain coordination according to this rhythm."

"Damn it!" Aiden cursed in his heart. If Germany tied the two together, it would be more uncomfortable for Britain to be more important than the military power and equipment.

"After our army delivers and restores the Bours Republic, we will no longer regard South Africa as your autonomous territory. You can directly regard it as a direct colony, or simply become an overseas territory, and we have no objection."

The combat plan code-named "Avalanche" has been formulated. The final large-scale battle will be reported and performed by Guderian and the SS Panzer Army. In addition to all the forces of Thor's Hammer, it will also be covered by the Navy and Air Force. Of course, the 1944 unit consumes a lot of materials, so Hoffman plans to draw 3 million tons of ship tonnage for transportation. It requires Britain to spend 1 million tons, Germany, Italy and France, a total of 2 million tons. Portugal will open the port in Mozambique for the German army to use.

With the continuous launch of the will wheel, Germany is fully capable of maintaining a huge capacity team.

This does not mean that a South African battle requires so much material consumption, and it is impossible to transport so much material during the two-month preparation period. The total 3 million tons of materials are the sum of the next stage of the battle. The unused part can be piled up on Madagascar and transferred to Namibia in the next step. Then, the channels for support to South America will be completely unobstructed in the future.

Hoffman’s request was: to show off his might, to shock, and to tell the Americans with a devastating attitude that “they will have no hope in another 100 years!”

Given that the South African issue was too different, Aiden proposed to revise the meeting and return to China for reporting and communication. Ribbintrov readily agreed and he also wanted to prepare for the Axis Summit on August 15.

"That's what the negotiations on South Africa are," Aiden said at the cabinet meeting. "The first goal has been barely achieved. The Germans do not ask us to send troops, but only provide logistics and material transportation assistance. They will take it down, but the division of territorial and post-war interests is very different from ours."

Attley frowned: "Is it the Bourne Republic apart from Rhodesia?"

Aiden gritted his teeth and said, "If Rhodesia alone is the one who can barely get it down, it's a big trouble now that the Germans want to restore the Boer Republic in one go. Not only will they suffer a lot of damage to interests, but they can't explain it to history."

The Boer War consumed the endless resources of Great Britain and was regarded as a turning point in its decline, but at least the original slogan was victory now that the Germans do not even intend to retain this result.

"There is another question. Germany will launch an attack on South Africa from September. How long do you expect to take it?"

"South Africa is not strong, and the Americans have not been concerned about transporting supplies and troops recently. If only the current troops are used..." Marshal Brooke pondered, "If the German army dispatched 150,000 elite troops, and if the logistics can be guaranteed, it is expected that strategic goals can be achieved by the end of 1944, and it may be faster."

"So fast?"

"Fast? I still feel it's slow."

Aiden added: "The Germans linked the delivery of South Africa with the progress of garrison, our handover of weapons, etc."

Aiden said angrily: "I knew that the Germans had many tricks."

Porter smiled bitterly: "But we have no way to curb it. Americans can't control South Africa's affairs, how can we control it?"

"Can Marshal Shimozi directly announce his allegiance to His Majesty?"

"This is impossible. The Americans would not agree to do this, and he doesn't look down on the black cat."

"Speak to Your Majesty first and see what his reaction is. Or, can he accept such conditions?"

"If..." Fraser frowned, "whether the Americans continue to reinforce the forces and strength to South Africa?"

Brooke's eyes lit up, but then he dimmed: "Well... there is only theoretical possibility. Now even the Americans in Brazil are in a state of turmoil. How can they care about it?"

"Let's discuss it again, we still have some time."

No one knows that Nimitz has approached the Recife region of Brazil with a huge fleet, and a South American counterattack is about to begin soon... (To be continued...)r
