Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1885 Concession
The war between Mizhou and the military government suddenly broke out because of Santos' stupid behavior.

Both sides were a bit caught off guard. The military government had more troops, but the deployment was too scattered, and it took time to complete the deployment; the Mizhou side had fewer troops, but the level of training was slightly better, but because the defense area was too large, it could only be deployed for the time being. on the defensive.

The current situation is a bit more complicated.

Nominally, the state of Mimi is an enemy of a country. In fact, Mimi is located in the center of Brazil, and Rio is located in the south of Brazil. Most of the borders are surrounded by Mimi. Only the south and north are bordered by Sao Paulo and Espirito Santo. .

This situation is very unfavorable for Mizhou. Rio can easily mobilize troops to besiege Mizhou by sea. The situation of the war is about the same as the second Boer War. Give the Brazilian military government enough time and the Brazilian military government can mobilize resources. Trapped Mizhou to death.

At this time, we can see the importance of the Holy State as an ally.

With the addition of the Holy State, Mizhou can obtain a steady stream of supplies through Victoria Harbor, and can directly attack Rio by sea.

The crux of the problem is that Mizhou lacks sea attack capabilities and can only launch attacks by land.

The terrible traffic conditions in Brazil have severely limited the speed at which Michigan can attack Rio by land.

Think about it, it took Iron Four Corners two full years to build the railway between Mizhou and Sanzhou, so it is still very difficult to drive the tanks to the city of Rio.

Rio was not idle when Mizhou was fighting hard.

During this period of time, the military government has hoarded nearly 15 people in Rio, and the American consultants still have something, so Augusto dare not be careless.

"The state of Mimi is surrounded by the states of Espirito Santo, Bahia, Goias, Mato Grosso do Sul, Sao Paulo, and Rio. Oia and Goias are our allies, but we cannot give them too much trust. We need to reserve some troops to deal with possible attacks, so we can use less than 3 troops to attack Rio Thousands of people--" Augusto regretted it a little now, what kind of elite soldier policy is being used in places like South America, just arm the miners of Iron Four Corners and push them to Rio.

Fan Bao also has something to hide. The miners of the Iron Four Corners Company have already contributed to the National Guard, so that the normal operation of the Iron Four Corners Company has been seriously affected.

Fortunately, Fawalt Iron and Steel Group can still obtain iron ore from Australia, otherwise Henry might not be able to help but intervene now.

"Leo, you're good at commanding battles, so I'll leave this to you—" Vargas gave Augusto unreserved trust. We are all in the same boat. If we win, everything will be fine, and if we lose, we will run away together.

For the state of Michigan and the military government, this is a war that they cannot afford to lose.

"I'll do my best—" Augusto frowned. The biggest problem in Mizhou is that there is no navy, and the Brazilian military government has ordered the navy to attack Victoria.

The strength of the Brazilian Navy is quite good. In 1904, in order to surpass Argentina and Chile, Brazil ordered three dreadnoughts from the United Kingdom. Later, because of the outbreak of World War I, only two dreadnoughts entered service, namely "Minas Gera" The battleships USS "São Paulo" and "São Paulo".

The performance of the "Minas Gerais" class battleship is quite good, with a full load displacement of 21200 tons, equipped with six twin-mounted 305mm/45-caliber main guns, 22 120mm guns, and 4 47mm guns , purely in terms of the number of artillery, it is more than the "Dunkirk" class battleship modified in southern Africa.

However, the combat effectiveness of warships is not all achieved by the number of artillery.

Two years ago, the Brazilian navy led by two "Minas Gerais"-class battleships mutinied on the pretext of "improving treatment" and blatantly shelled Rio de Janeiro. Only then did the military government come to power.

In addition to the two "Minas Gerais"-class battleships, the Brazilian Navy also has some old armored ships and cruisers. Most of these warships are the products eliminated by the US Navy. Not being able to leave the military port is a problem.

Of course, the state of Michigan is not without resistance to the two "Minas Gerais"-class battleships. The state of Michigan previously ordered ten "ghost" submarines from southern Africa, the purpose is to deal with these two battleships, but the capital of the state of Michigan The dispatched sailors are undergoing training in Walvis Bay in southern Africa, and may not be able to participate in the war in a short time.

This is also a last resort. At this stage, Roque will not send southern African soldiers to participate in the war. The precious lives of southern African soldiers cannot be consumed in the civil war in Brazil, so the Brazilians can only rely on themselves.

In order to protect the reputation of the "ghost warship", there is a high probability that Roque will not agree to the "ghost submarine" to participate in the battle before the sailor training is completed, unless the situation has become a last resort.

"Rio is heavily defending the border and trying to cut off our sea transportation lines at the same time. This is trying to trap us to death—" Vargas realized the danger of the war at this time, and lost everything in one careless move. .

"It's okay, Governor, you should believe in the strength of the umbrella company—" Augusto is still confident. In South America, Brazil has always prided itself on being a "great power", but Brazil will soon realize what is the real " Great Powers".

The state of Espirito Santo is now also nominally under the leadership of the military government.

After the border conflict broke out, the government forces stationed in Victoria tried to seize control of Victoria Harbor, but were easily smashed by the Michigan National Guard stationed in Kitchener Port. Now Victoria Harbor is under the control of the Michigan National Guard, but this situation It was easily broken by the arrival of two "Minas Gerais" class battleships.

Don't look at Britain, the United States, Japan, France, and BIG7, [-] tons or something. For most countries in the world, the [-]-ton "Minas Gerais"-class battleship is already the limit. Brazil tried to build a battleship on its own a few years ago, but the plan was permanently shelved due to insufficient financial resources. The four frigates of the Umbrella Company in the Port of Kitchener, in front of the two "Minas Gerais" class battleships, Also similar to rabbits and elephants.

After all, reality is magical. When two "Minas Gerais" class battleships arrived in Victoria Harbour, trying to launch an attack on Victoria Harbour, the rabbit really stopped the elephant's footsteps.

On the bridge of the battleship "Minas Gerais", Barreto looked at the frigate on the sea not far away with a gloomy expression.

The Brazilian Navy's fleet of two "Minas Gerais"-class battleships and six old-fashioned warships had just arrived off the coast of Victoria Harbor when they were intercepted by the frigates of the Umbrella Company.

To Barreto's displeasure, the Umbrella Company only dispatched a mere frigate. A [-]-ton frigate was nothing compared to a [-]-ton battleship.

At this time, Barreto could only force himself to calm down. He really didn't dare to order an attack on the frigate of the umbrella company, otherwise it would trigger a war between southern Africa and Brazil.

"The Port of Kitchener is the property of the Umbrella Corporation. The Umbrella Corporation has no intention of intervening in the war between Rio and Michigan, but you must also ensure the interests of the Umbrella Corporation in Brazil. Otherwise, the Federal Government of Southern Africa will retain the power to hold Rio accountable. "Howard, a lawyer from Umbrella Company, had a cold expression on his face. Umbrella had so many legal counselors, and it finally came in handy.

"The National Guard of Mississippi was trained by you under the umbrella. This is what you said that you had no intention of intervening?" Barreto was furious, otherwise why are lawyers annoying? This is obviously talking nonsense with staring eyes.

"That is the normal business practice of our umbrella company, and has nothing to do with the war you are fighting." Howard raised his head slightly, and from Barreto's point of view, he looked at people with his nostrils, which was a bit domineering.

"Absurd, this is not a war. This is our internal rebellion in Brazil. The Umbrella Corporation and the Southern African Federal Government have no right to intervene. This is our internal affair!" Barreto only now understands the pain of a small country with few people.

Small country with few people?

Can a country with an area of ​​850 million square kilometers and a population of 3500 million be described as a small country with few people?
A country like Luxembourg with 2500 square kilometers and a population of less than 30 is a small country with few people.

However, weak strength seems to be more painful than a small country with few people.

It is obvious that it has the strength to become a powerful country, but it is poor and weak due to various reasons. Anyone with ideals will be heartbroken.

"No matter what it is, Kitchener Harbor is the property of Umbrella Corporation. You can attack Victoria Harbor, but you must protect the interests of Umbrella Corporation." Howard took out a map of Victoria Harbor from his briefcase, and all Properties belonging to the umbrella company are circled in red.

After Barreto took a look, he was almost pissed off and had brain congestion. The red circles were so dense that it was difficult to move an inch.

If you say that, shelling is absolutely impossible, unless it is the kind with precise guidance and eyes, otherwise there will inevitably be accidental injuries.

"When did the Port of Kitchener become the property of your umbrella company?" Barreto gritted his teeth.

Howard kept smiling and didn't speak.

The purchase of the land by the Umbrella Corporation is a deal with the state capital of the Holy State and does not require Rio's approval, which is also the national condition of Brazil.

If Rock is here, then Rock must be able to understand Barreto's mood very well.

The current situation is that, without the knowledge of the Brazilian military government, Victoria Harbor forcibly created a concession.

Just out of Barreto's sight, Victoria Harbor was in chaos.

There is a saying that bandits pass like sieves and soldiers pass like grates. The Brazilian navy dared to bombard Rio. Once it invades Victoria, one can imagine how many tragedies will happen.

So at this time, the Victorians don't care whether they are capable or not, and they should escape from Victoria first.

The best choice is definitely Kitchener Harbor.
