Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2373 Pretoria is my home

Vargas was well aware of the consequences of losing the support of the Iron Four Corners. The reason why he took the risk was because he had the support of a part of the army.

It's just a part, not all. The most elite troops in Brazil are the former Brazilian National Defense Forces, which were trained by the umbrella company.

However, these elite troops all participated in the World War in Europe. The current army in Brazil is the National Army that has just been recruited. It has little influence from the Umbrella Company and was trained by Brazilian military officers. Mistakenly thinking that you can control the situation.

In Rio, the Iron Four Corners also had great influence. After Fan Bao arrived in Rio, there was an endless stream of visitors, which made Vargas very worried.

"The Umbrella Company has not made a statement yet. Mr. Hilario did not come to Rio with Mr. Fan. We all know that Iron Four's profits have been affected to some extent because of the agreement with the Umbrella Company. If we promise to give the Iron Four Corners more benefits, then maybe we can win the support of Mr. Fan." Vargas' personal consultant, Jack Milton from the United States, hopes to resolve it in a more peaceful way question.

With the lessons learned from the Brazilian Civil War, the Americans absolutely do not want a direct conflict with the Umbrella Corporation.

During the Brazilian Civil War, the strength of the Umbrella Company was undoubtedly revealed. This commercial company with nearly [-] mercenaries has the potential to start a war no less than a medium-sized country. Although the Umbrella Company does not have an inch of territory in the world, no one wants to fight with the Umbrella Company. The Americans suffered enough from guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare in the Brazilian Civil War.

Having no territory is not a bad thing. During the Brazilian Civil War, the Brazilian National Defense Forces fought in the local area, and the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company were unscrupulous. Their elite squads are good at very infiltrating operations. A more detailed intelligence system can resist American soldiers several times its own.

Compared with the Umbrella Company, Iron Square seems harmless to humans and animals, just like a little white rabbit that everyone can bully, but this little white rabbit will turn into a ferocious crocodile at some special moments, as Vargas' personal experience can prove, and Iron Four Corners cooperation is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.

"Iron Four Corners and Umbrella belong to the same parent company. The distribution of interests between them is an internal contradiction. While we have to deal with the umbrella, we must also drive Iron Four Corners out of Brazil and take over the mines in Minas Gerais. State-owned, only in this way can we have the qualifications to re-discuss with the federal government of Southern Africa.” Martinelli, the speaker of the Brazilian National Assembly, does not want to tear himself apart with the federal government of southern Africa. He and Vargas are old friends. Martinelli served as Vargas' interior minister when he was governor of Minas Gerais.

"We are already very familiar with the combat habits of the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. Now the most critical thing is logistics. We do not have the manufacturing capacity, and even the bullets need to be imported from southern Africa. If the supply of southern Africa is cut off, the bullets we stockpile will not even last a week." Persist." Rafinha, the local commander of the Brazilian National Army, was Vargas' old subordinate. When Vargas was the governor of Minas Gerais, Rafinha was Vargas' chief guard.

"Don't worry about weapons and ammunition. If southern Africa cuts off the supply, the United States can provide all the logistical support that the Brazilian National Army needs." Jack Milton is full of confidence. The United States is fully capable of replacing southern Africa and providing the Brazilian army with the required supplies.

"General Rafinha, what do you mean, our national army is already capable of defeating the mercenaries of the umbrella company?" Martinelli is not optimistic. Most of the soldiers of the national army have just been recruited, and many people have not yet accepted After complete training, he has not yet become a qualified soldier, and Martinelli does not know the source of Rafinha's confidence.

"The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are not that scary. The guerrilla and mobile warfare they are good at is also what we are good at. As long as the logistics of the Umbrella Company is cut off, I have the confidence to defeat the Umbrella—" Rafinha asked a key question , How to cut off the logistical support of the umbrella company.

In the Brazilian Civil War, it was precisely because the Umbrella Company could continuously receive aid from southern Africa through Victoria Harbor that the U.S.-Pakistan Army failed miserably.

Now Umbrella also owns more ports than Victoria Port. Almost all ports in Brazil, Iron Square and Umbrella have participated in the reconstruction work. The current security defense of many ports is the responsibility of Umbrella Corporation itself, so there is no solution to this problem.

"That's what I'm worried about. The umbrella isn't scary. What's scary is the Federal Government of Southern Africa—" Jack Milton was also helpless on this issue.

"No, no, no, we don't seek confrontation with southern Africa. Our goal is to bring a better life to Brazilians. I believe southern Africans can understand." Vargas did not dare to break with southern Africa.

"It's best—" Martinelli breathed a sigh of relief, but it's a good thing Vargas isn't crazy.

Although the expression on Rafinha's face was very upset, it was obvious that the whole person was relaxed. The pressure brought by this question was too great.

Think about Alexander.

Disappointment flashed across Jack Milton's eyes.

Wanting greater autonomy, getting rid of the control of the Southern African federal government, and not wanting to pay too much, actually pinned their hopes on the understanding of the southern Africans——

This is simply schizophrenia.

The independence of the United States also fought a fierce battle with the United Kingdom, and the capital was burned.

Brazil wants to gain independence easily and without paying any price. Where can I find such a good thing.

"But what if people in southern Africa don't understand?" Another adviser of Vargas, Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel from France, said bluntly. Vargas wanted to replicate a southern Africa in South America. The idea itself is correct, but it's a pity. unrealistic.

Speaking of colonies, the French were also in tears. When Madagascar was fighting for independence, the French government was forced to accept this fact until the sinking of the "France".

All countries in the world say one thing, that is, the independence of southern Africa, without too many setbacks. Just as the success of southern Africa cannot be replicated, the process of independence in southern Africa cannot be replicated.

This is not right. In addition to southern Africa, there is another country that is also very strange-the third brother of India.

After the outbreak of World War II, the United Kingdom, like when the First World War broke out, promised to give India an independent status after the war, hoping to get India's full support.

India is a standard that remembers to eat but not to fight. After the end of the last world war, Britain broke its promise and became fat. This time, it still does not have a long memory. It would rather the people of its own country go hungry, and send food to the UK to feed cattle.

Just at the beginning of this year, the "Mahatma" in India was imprisoned again, and he was released after spending half a year in prison.

After Emperor Gan was released from prison, he decided to go on a hunger strike to protest the British colonial rule.

He did not go on a hunger strike himself, but called on all Indians to go on a hunger strike and implement a complete "non-violent non-cooperation" to force Britain to give up its colonial rule over India.

Gandi's stubbornness aroused the strong resentment of the Governor of India, Vivier.

India is still in a state of war, and Emperor Gan played this trick, causing the Indian soldiers in the British and Indian troops to lose their morale and seriously resist the orders of the officers.

The Indian soldiers in the British and Indian troops have been criticized for their lax discipline and weak will to fight.

Now that even the orders of the officers are no longer obeyed, Wei Weier arrested hundreds of soldiers, hoping to force Emperor Gan to give up non-violent non-cooperation.

The Gandi did not have the courage to violently resist, but the Gandi not only had the courage to sacrifice the Indians, but it was also very large.

Faced with Wei Weier's persecution, the Gan Emperor boldly spoke out and killed at will——

If a few hundred soldiers were not enough, even if all the Indians in the British and Indian troops were killed, Emperor Gan would not compromise.

Good guy, there are nearly 200 million Indian soldiers in the British-Indian army, and the Emperor Gan is such a liver.

It's no wonder that when a certain person met Gandi, Gandi proposed a strategy: let the Japanese kill them freely, if [-] million is not enough, then [-] million, if the Japanese are soft-hearted, the Japanese will surrender.

Anyway, I will die as a fellow daoist but not a poor daoist.

Wei Weier used the wrong method. If he put the knife on Gandi's neck, it is guaranteed that Gandi would immediately offer up the beef jerky under his buttocks.

To a certain extent, Vargas, similar to Gandi, pinned all his hopes on the understanding of southern Africans. This brain circuit cannot be understood by ordinary people.

"Southern Africans want benefits, not annexation of Brazil. As long as we promise to protect the interests of southern African companies, southern Africans will understand." Vargas is also naive. He doesn't understand southern Africa's attitude towards allies at all.

The relationship between southern Africa and the allies is a new type of colonization, which is different from the previous colonial methods.

In the past, the colonization of the whole world by European countries was direct rule, only plundering without construction, developing a single colonial economy, strengthening the dependence of the colonies on the suzerain country, and achieving long-term control over the colonies.

This colonization method in southern Africa is more hidden and less costly, because there is no need to form a colonial government, and while the expenditure is greatly reduced, the interests will not be affected, and there are no hidden dangers. Under the banner of commercial cooperation, you can do what you want, allies After being sucked blood, you have to say thank you.

After all, Southern Africa brought more advanced commodities and a more modern way of life to the Union countries.

Vargas' wish is to nationalize the mines in Minas Gerais, so that the Brazilian government can have more initiative and can bargain with southern Africa, so that it will not be as powerless as it is now.

The crux of the matter is how determined the federal government of Southern Africa is to protect its interests.

"Next, I will go to Pretoria to seek the support of Lord Nyasaland. You must also be prepared for the worst." Vargas wanted to go deep into the tiger's den.

"Wait, since we have decided to overturn the agreement with the federal government of Southern Africa, what's the point of going to Pretoria?" Gabriel was surprised. What does it mean that you offered to send it to your door?
"Of course I do. I want to bring a happy life to the Brazilian people, not war." Vargas was confident and confident, and he won't win if he doesn't enter the tiger's den.

The decision was indeed unexpected.

Rock was a little surprised when he learned that Vargas was coming, and he agreed very simply.

It was late September when Vargas arrived in Pretoria.

At the end of September, Pretoria is in the early summer, and the biggonia trees all over the city are in bud. Every year when the biggonia trees are in full bloom, Pretoria will hold a grand carnival, attracting countless tourists.

The world war has been fought for nearly four years. Not only has Pretoria not been affected, but it has become more and more prosperous. After positioning the city as a travel and culture place, Pretoria has built more cultural facilities and museums throughout the city. There are already dozens of them, and the area around the church square has become a bustling business district, where almost all big companies have set up flagship stores representing their corporate image. weave.

Rock didn't go to the airport to meet Vargas. Gavin came forward instead of Rock, and after receiving Vargas, he made a circle around the church square.

"The magnificent southern Africa, the bustling Pretoria, this is my ideal paradise, I hope to build Rio into a bustling city like Pretoria, this is my ultimate dream." Wagga Sri Lanka couldn't help feeling that Pretoria has many nicknames, such as the City of Bigwigs, the City of Gardens, the City of Smiling Faces, and so on.

Everyone who comes to Pretoria is impressed by the smiles on people's faces. People here have no worries about food and clothing, and live a prosperous life. It seems that there is nothing bad about them, and everyone can smile at each other.

"During the Second Boer War, Pretoria was completely destroyed. We built our current city on the ruins. At that time, almost no country helped us. Everything here is due to the efforts of us southern Africans. Work is built brick by brick." Gavin's words were full of meaning, and he hoped that Vargas would wake up.

Vargas didn't speak, he kept looking at the busy traffic outside the car window, and didn't even make eye contact with Gavin.

The convoy drove all the way into the Palace of Justice, and Roque greeted Vargas at the gate of the Palace of Justice.

"Lord, long time no see—" Vargas laughed and gave him a hug.

"Your Excellency, welcome to Pretoria again." Rock smiled diplomatically, and Vargas in front of him seemed strange.

"I've been to Pretoria so many times, it's like home to me," Vargas hadn't realized yet.

"Since it's home, let's stay longer." Rock said seriously.

The smile on Vargas' face finally froze.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

"Literally, I heard that your health is not very good. The technology of Bigwig Hospital is still good. You can take a good rest in Bigwig Hospital." Rock didn't have time to entangle with Vargas, and his strength was completely crushed. , no need for machinations at all.

On September 9, Brazilian President Vargas went to Pretoria for treatment due to illness.

A week later, the United States of Brazil held an early presidential election, and Carlos was elected as the second president of the United States of Brazil with an absolute majority.
