Chapter 1912 Decent steps

The Mississippi Army, which has made a comeback, is fully prepared this time. It is actually very simple to destroy the anti-tank trenches. A small explosive package can complete the task. Once the preparations are made, the attack will become smooth again.

The tanks sold by the Americans to the government forces are actually "light cavalry", but the models are earlier and have been eliminated in southern Africa.

Compared with the tanks equipped by the Mizhou Army, the tanks equipped by the government army are at a disadvantage in terms of armor thickness and firepower, and the barbed wire has become useless in front of the tanks. Army positions, the government army positions finally collapsed.

However, the battle is far from over, and there are still three such government positions, which need to be conquered by the Mizhou Army one by one.

Moreover, there are still remaining government troops in the first line of defense of the government army, and the Michigan Army needs to clear the trenches one by one.

The Umbrella Company is very experienced in this regard. The best weapons to use to clear trenches are flamethrowers and shotguns, and grenades are also acceptable. Experienced soldiers will stop for a while after pulling the tab and throw the grenade, so that the grenade It can explode in the air above the enemy, causing maximum damage.

As a result, the surviving government officers and soldiers in the position were tragic. Most of the soldiers had already fled in a hurry after the position was breached.

When the officers and soldiers of the Michigan Army began to clean up the trenches, many government officers and soldiers surrendered after a little resistance. When they surrendered, they didn't even know to destroy their weapons, so they left it to the Michigan Army in vain.

Second Lieutenant Marsil from Najd Sultanate found a U.S. military adviser in a bunker of the government army. Facing the Mizhou Army soldiers who were still bleeding from their bayonets, the U.S. military adviser forced himself to remain calm.

"I am a military observer from the United States. I did not participate in this war. I demand treatment that matches my status." The Americans are still very confident in front of the Brazilians.

Marciel is a southern African, but he did not mistreat the US military major named Price.

"As I said, I was just a military observer and did not participate in the war, so I did not carry a weapon." Price refused the Mississippi Army's body search, thinking it was a violation of his rights.

Marciel didn't speak, and a few wounded government soldiers were kneeling beside him, trembling.

The soldiers of the Mizhou Army showed no mercy to these wounded soldiers of the government army. Healthy prisoners of war could still engage in physical labor.

So a Mizhou second lieutenant walked behind several prisoners and silently took out a pistol.

Marciel frowned.

The second lieutenant of Mizhou immediately understood, put the pistol back into the holster, and ordered the soldiers to take the prisoner out.

"What will you do with them?" Price couldn't help asking.

"Worry about yourself, Mr. Major." Marsil was expressionless. The Mississippi Army and the government army can abide by the "Geneva Prisoners of War Convention" when dealing with Americans and southern Africans. Obviously not applicable.

At this time, the sound of bayonets entering the body came from outside the bunker, but the strange thing was that no wailing could be heard. It is estimated that these executed government soldiers were psychologically prepared for this.

It is very strange, since the government soldiers knew that they might be executed after surrendering, why didn't they fight desperately to the last moment.

It is estimated that there is still a fluke mentality. After all, it is impossible for the Mizhou Army to kill all the prisoners.

At this time, Price no longer refused to be searched by the soldiers of the Michigan Army.

It is true that Price did not carry a weapon. Of course, both Price and Marciel directly ignored the behavior of the Mississippi Army soldiers taking Major Price's watch during the body search.

Fortunately, when the soldiers ordered Price to take off the ring, Marciel stopped him in time.

Unlike watches, rings represent different meanings.

When Price was taken out of the bunker, only sporadic gunshots and explosions were left on the entire line of defense. Nearly a thousand government prisoners were escorted by soldiers of the Mississippi Army to the prisoner-of-war camp set up in the rear. They were devastated and looked depressed. , do not know what fate awaits them.

At dusk, the Mississippi Army organized a tentative attack on the government's second line of defense.

This time the Mizhou Army did not invest many troops. The battle lasted less than half an hour and ended in a hurry. The Mizhou Army did not even dispatch tanks. They wanted to take back the position overnight, but seeing the officers and soldiers of the Mizhou Army waiting in full battle, the government army did not try.

However, there are still defenses that should be there. Throughout the night, the government army and the Mizhou army kept firing flares, and the open space between the two lines of defense was as bright as day. Any behavior that wanted to attack at night would be foolish.

The artillery of the Mississippi Army was not idle, and would harass and shoot government positions every three to five minutes.

The artillery of the government army was more active. The fighter jets of the Mizhou Army could not be dispatched at night. The counterattack of the artillery of the government army was significantly greater than the harassment of the artillery of the Mizhou Army.

The artillery of the Mizhou army is still better than the artillery of the government army. In the early morning, the artillery of the Mizhou army finally calculated the precise position of the artillery positions of the government army through the trajectory of the artillery shells of the government army. The countermeasures caused huge damage to the government artillery.

At this time, the interrogation of Major Price was in progress. At the beginning, Major Price tried to hide it, but under the skillful interrogation of the Umbrella Company interrogation experts, Price's psychological defense was quickly broken.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you cooperate or not. About [-] U.S. Marines have arrived in Rio de Janeiro and may join the war at any time. We don't know nothing about Rio." Connie's official occupation is a lawyer, the legal department of the umbrella company Members, and occasionally cameo interrogation experts.

"Since you all know, why do you still ask me—" Major Price was depressed, the trial experts of the Umbrella Company were simply not human, and conducted fatigue interrogation on Price, Price did not sleep for a whole night, The trial experts of the umbrella company have changed three people.

Dealing with Americans, after all, cannot be as simple and crude as dealing with Brazilians. Torture methods are useless, and the only way to pry Price's mouth away is through fatigue interrogation.

This kind of interrogation method is also very effective. People always have to sleep. If they don’t sleep for a long time, they will definitely have a mental breakdown. It’s almost like being hypnotized when they are half asleep and half awake. They almost ask and say something.

In particular, negotiators will continue to harass Price with noise and bright lights, accelerating Price's mental breakdown. You can ask for the information you want.

"Major Price, I still suggest cooperation. The Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War does not bring you absolute security. You are serving the US government, not the Brazilian military government—" He looked sluggish, Unlike Price, who could hardly keep his eyes open, Connie was in good spirits and in good shape.

"I serve the interests of the United States—" Price does not think he has done anything wrong. Working for the Brazilian military government is also serving the interests of the United States.

"If you are really serving the interests of the United States, then you should not get involved in this war lightly." Connie smiled, and the US government also has a way of brainwashing.

When the Brazilian Civil War intensified, the League of Nations imposed stricter sanctions on the United States.

The United States is a country that relies heavily on foreign trade. In this time and space, the United States has not yet reached the point where it can harvest the world by relying on the dollar. On the contrary, the United States is the world's factory, so the United States urgently opens the European market to find sales for American products.

After the World War, Europe was severely weakened, and the export volume of American products increased year after year. Before the outbreak of the economic crisis, the American economy entered a golden period of ten years and developed rapidly.

The negative effects brought about by the economic crisis have not completely disappeared. After Roosevelt Jr. came to power, the U.S. economy gradually recovered, and foreign exports began to grow. Seeing that the U.S. economy would soon recover, the U.S. was sanctioned by the League of Nations. It was a blow to the recovering U.S. economy.

Entering 1932, the US’s exports to Europe dropped significantly. In January, compared with 1932, exports fell by 60.00%. Only exports to Germany and Japan remained normal. Even Bolivia had to reduce due to the sanctions imposed on the United States by the League of Nations. Commodity imports, the plight of US commodity exports can be seen.

It is precisely because of the support of American oil companies that Bolivia is qualified to provoke the Great Summer Valley War with Paraguay.

Bolivia is also a member of the League of Nations. After Sean Ferguson became the secretary-general of the Executive Council of the League of Nations, he threatened that if Bolivia did not participate in the sanctions against the United States, the League of Nations would send troops to "mediate" the ongoing Great Summer Valley War.

Bolivia also has no choice. The League of Nations talks about "mediation". In fact, if Bolivia does not obey, the final result of "mediation" is likely to be very unfavorable to Bolivia.

As for whether the United States will give Bolivia enough support.

There is no need to think about it. The support of the Brazilian military government of the American company is covert, even if it wants to support Bolivia, it is powerless.

At this time, the United States finally had the voice of joining the League of Nations. The market size of Germany and Japan was still not comparable to that of Europe as a whole.

While U.S. commodity exports have dropped sharply, the scale of southern African commodity exports is rising sharply. The market that originally belonged to U.S. commodities is being aggressively occupied by southern African commodities. This is definitely unacceptable to U.S. capital.

At this time, the United States needs a decent step.

So Neville took the initiative to stand up, hoping to mediate the differences between the United States and the League of Nations.

The attributes of the United Kingdom have begun to explode again.
