Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1882 Moonlight Clan

Looking at the purchase list on the table, the expression and mood of the trio were extremely complicated.

Fragozzo, Noronha, and Barreto were all soldiers, so they could still understand the models of weapons and equipment no matter how much they messed around.

Poor Americans, there are several models of rifles sold to Rio, and the calibers are surprisingly different. Lee Enfield is 7.7, Springfield is 7.62, and Winchester is the worst. Models produced in different years The calibers are different, some are 5.58, some are 8.12, some are 9.65, even 11.17.

The weapons equipped by the troops should be of the same model, the purpose is to reduce the logistical pressure. The rifles sold by the Americans to Rio are of such a variety of models. When the war breaks out, the logistical difficulties brought to Rio can be imagined.

Of course, in addition to rifles, other equipment models sold to Rio by the Americans are also very complicated. For example, the artillery includes the Schneider 1917 155mm howitzer produced in France.

Judging by current standards, the performance of Schneider's 1917 155mm howitzer is not backward.

The key is that this thing weighs more than three tons. With Brazil's backward traffic conditions and subtropical monsoon humid climate, this thing can only be used as a fortress gun.

So the Americans are doing a big clearance sale. It is estimated that even the goods that have been in stock for decades have been sold to the Brazilian military government.

"Anyway, we now have enough weapons. What we have to do is to form a strong force on this basis." Fragozzo encouraged Noronha and Barreto, and also gave Cheer yourself up.

Even knowing that the Americans are a big pit, Fragozzo actually has no other choice.

All countries in the world count as one, and there are really not many countries with capital for arms trade.

The UK is definitely possible, but considering the relationship between the UK and southern Africa, even if the Brazilians come to the door, the British government will probably not agree to sell arms to Brazil.

France can also do it, but if France dares to make money from the Brazilians, there are plenty of ways to toss the French in southern Africa.

Germany is still at a low ebb and can't take care of itself.

Russia has no access to the sea, so it can only look at the ocean and sigh if it wants to sell weapons.

Others, such as Italy and Spain, also have their own problems.

Japan really wants to sell it, but it's a pity that the Brazilians don't like it——

So after all the calculations, only the Americans have the ability to arm Brazil.

The key is that the Americans are willing to lend to Rio, which no other country can do.

"Washington is too pitiful, selling us such a pile of junk at such a high price!" Noronia was indignant. American weapons are not only rotten, but also very expensive.

Neither Fragozzo nor Barreto spoke.

This cannot be blamed on others. Who made Brazil unable to produce it? As long as Brazil has a little industrial capacity, it will not even have to pay a high price for bullets.

Don't underestimate the small bullets. The technical content is not low at all. If Adeshe hadn't used his old face to beg London, the military industry in southern Africa would not know when it would start.

"How is the situation of the troops?" Fragozzo didn't bother with the question of how bad the Americans were.

"We have newly recruited 2 people, and we are training—" Barreto was feeling irritable.

"Why so little?" Fragozzo was dissatisfied, 3500 million Brazilians only recruited 2?

Just kidding.

"It's good to be able to recruit people now." Barreto is also dissatisfied. The salary of the Brazilian National Defense Forces is low and the treatment is poor. People apply.

It is said that the military is inherently a dangerous profession.

It's a pity that the Brazilians don't have this awareness.

"How is the situation in Mizhou?" Fragozzo knows that Rio is in trouble, but don't be afraid, as long as the progress is faster than Mizhou, it is a bad era after all.

"Mizhou is moving very quickly. According to the news I received, Mizhou has now recruited nearly 5 people." Fragozzo was dumbfounded by the information provided by Barreto.

"How come there are so many?" Fragozzo really couldn't figure it out. Rio, as the legal government of Brazil in name, has progressed so slowly in recruiting troops, but the state of Michigan has already recruited 5 people. This is unscientific.

"Mizhou is rich, and there are iron mines in the territory. Now Mizhou has the support of Iron Four Corners Company and Umbrella Company. Iron Four Corners Company directly selects some miners to transfer to soldiers. Of course, it is easy to recruit soldiers." Barreto was expressionless, really not The brother is not strong, but the opponent is too crazy.

Since ancient times, miners have been one of the best sources of soldiers. Although it sounds very inspirational to join the army, most scholars are powerless. Because miners are engaged in high-intensity physical labor all year round, the requirements for physical conditions It is quite high and relatively disciplined. After all, working underground, if you do not observe discipline, you will often have to pay the price of your life.

So in such a comprehensive way, the state capital of Mizhou is too advantageous. The Rand Bank provides money, the Iron Four Corners Company provides personnel, and the Umbrella Company provides instructors. The army will be pulled up in minutes. If Rio does not move faster, it will be crushed pressing rhythm.

"When will the advisory group sent by Washington arrive in Rio?" Noronha can only pin his hopes on the United States, and Rio alone is now exhausted.

The advisory group is also one of Washington's conditions, after all, Washington is responsible for the loan to Rio.

To put it bluntly, Rio is now an empty-handed white wolf. If you win, you have everything, and if you lose, you have nothing.

"About a week later." Fragozzo's expression was gloomy, and the situation seemed to be bad——

When Rio is gloomy, Belo Horizonte is full of fighting spirit.

Speaking of recruit training, the umbrella company is already familiar with it. Instructors, there are a lot of umbrella companies, and a veteran is a qualified instructor. If recruits are not obedient, they will not be whipped. To solve the problem in a civilized way, close a small dark room for three days, and a tough guy with iron can give you a break. These days, there is no human rights organization that can train miners with good physical fitness and obedience into soldiers. Don't be too simple.

The camp that Vargas prepared for the recruits was by a lagoon not far from Belo Horizonte. Belo Horizonte is a city surrounded by mountains, with complex terrain, dense lakes and forests, and many places There are no traces of people at all, and there is no trace of development. On the first day when the recruits arrived at the camp, two sentries disappeared for no reason when they were standing guard at night. The officers in the camp thought they were dragging their guns to escape. A chilling conclusion.

The two soldiers didn't run away with their guns at all, but were dragged away by some kind of large wild animal while on duty.

Combined with the local situation in Belo Horizonte, the preliminary judgment may be a python.

The soldiers with live ammunition were actually dragged away by the python while on duty, and they didn't even have a chance to call for help. This kind of thing is simply terrible.

The Umbrella Company simply brought in the bulldozers and flattened the entire lagoon, which finally gave them some peace of mind.

Apart from these troubles, the training situation of the recruits is still good.

For the Brazilians, southern Africa is also one of the great powers, and one of the few great powers in the world, so the Brazilians are as obedient to the southern Africans as the Indians are to the British.

And the key is that the mercenaries who are qualified to be instructors are at least veterans who have served for more than ten years. Not to mention killing people like hemp, they must have seen blood on their hands, so they still have the deterrent power they should have.

What's more, the training of Umbrella Company is still a combination of rewards and punishments. Iron Square purchases a lot of beef locally from Mizhou, but it will not let it go to the recruits. Only soldiers who perform well in training are eligible to enjoy delicious beef. Soldiers who did not train hard enough could only eat corn and corn bread. This incentive system was still very effective. In just two weeks, the formations of the recruits were already decent, which made Vargas full of emotion.

"I have to say that the Umbrella Company is indeed professional. This level of troops can already be called elite troops in Brazil and even in the Americas—" Vargas' words stunned Fan Bao and Augusto, It's still elite, it's just getting there, it's just the beginning.

"Don't be surprised, this is the national conditions of Brazil, and even the entire South American countries. You should have a deep understanding. South America, like Africa, is actually beautiful and rich—" Vargas smiled wryly. Human character really has a lot to do with the environment. It's a big relationship, generally the more abundant the products are, the lazier and looser the people are, this is something deep in the bones and cannot be changed.

It really can’t be changed. The umbrella company has investigated. Many African-American mercenaries in the umbrella company still have little savings even after working for more than ten years.

Relatively speaking, Chinese mercenaries can basically save a lot of money after working for three to five years, and can buy a valuable family property when they return to southern Africa. .

"Yes, being beautiful and rich is not necessarily a good thing for the people. There are also many people in Africa who would rather waste their time doing nothing all day long than find a job to earn money and improve their lives." Fan Bao also has a deep understanding. It becomes more obvious at the bottom level. Many of the miners recruited by Iron Four Corners in Mizhou are moonlight clansmen.

This Moonlight Clan is different from the Moonlight Clan that was popular in later generations.

Even if they don’t save money, the moonlight clan of later generations will spend in a planned way. At least they won’t spend all their salary in just a few days, and then drink all kinds of northwest wind for the next half a month.

This is the case with the paychecks in Brazil. They work hard for a month, and then they disappear immediately after the salary is paid.

plan?
