Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2862 Mason Security Company
In terms of operability, MacArthur's proposal made Truman very excited.Because of the special geographical connection between South America and the United States, every bit of what happened on the land of South America deserves the attention of the US government.And if the U.S. government wants to increase its influence or even control over South America, then there is an excellent opportunity in front of it.However, because the United States is not yet ready for an all-out confrontation with China, and there are many pro-China factions in the Senate and House of Representatives, they still wishful thinking hope that through diplomatic efforts to prompt China to make substantive concessions, so at least for now Truman did not dare to rashly issue the order to declare war first.

In this case, there seems to be no better choice than MacArthur's proposal.

"Volunteer Army?"

"It can also be called a mercenary. It will nominally belong to a private company, but the government can make him serve the national interest by revising relevant laws and regulations."

"Very good suggestion, then General, are you willing to take on this responsibility? For America."

MacArthur froze for a moment, then nodded firmly, and said, "If the United States needs it, I can make sacrifices."

For MacArthur, it was indeed a sacrifice to come forward to form a mercenary company.Because of the nature of private companies, no matter how much he contributes, he can no longer go to the public and enjoy heroic treatment.

"Thank you, General, America will remember you."

The next day, when Fu Quansheng obtained the lease contract of the "Port of Fortaleza" from Riva, the mayor of Fortaleza, Vassis received a telegram from Truman.Truman said in the telegram that because the United States and China were not in a state of war, he regretted that he could not provide de facto military assistance to Brazil.However, as the most loyal friend of the Brazilian people, he absolutely cannot tolerate the infringement of Brazil's national honor and interests, so he decided to entrust a security company with outstanding strength in the United States to help Brazil defend its territory and sovereign integrity on behalf of the US government and people ——"...In order to show our sincerity, all the expenses will be borne by the White House, and in order to avoid the facts, your government only needs to pay a symbolic remuneration of one dollar. Of course, in order to let 'Maison's preservation The company' can really help your country, and please your country to give them the same status and power as your country's army..."

At this time, Vassis is actually ready to convey his sincerity to the Chinese government.Because just this morning, he received a report from Riva. In the telegram, Riva first exaggerated the strength of the Chinese army, and then spent a lot of pen and ink describing the "knowledgeable" and "no crime" of the Chinese soldiers. It is said that in order to avoid the destruction of Fortaleza in the flames of war, he can only choose to adopt the mainstream opinions of the local residents and temporarily lease the port of Fortaleza to the Chinese—"Of course, if General Costa can be more heroic, Maybe I don't need to make this humiliating decision. But you also know that Costa and his men are extremely incompetent, and they couldn't even hold on for 5 minutes..."

The failure of Costa's unit has spread throughout Brazil at this time. Naturally, this has affected Vassis' status in the hearts of the people, and also made the Vassis government fall into a passive embarrassing situation.In view of the fact that it is impossible to defeat the Chinese by relying on its own strength, Vassis actually has only one choice left, and that is to make peace with China.At this time, Riva's telegram is too timely.One, he gave Vassis a step up; two, because he has already caused the fact that the port of Fortaleza was leased to China, then even if there are any changes in the future, if he really wants to be held accountable, Vassis can do his best to take responsibility Push it all on him.

Politicians always have to focus on the overall situation. With this reason, Vassis can convince himself to accept the established facts.But at this time, Truman sent such a telegram, but instead put him in a dilemma again.

This is a big matter, and it is rare for Vassis not to be good at it. Instead, he called the Minister of the Army Dutra to discuss with him how to make a choice.

Fortaleza was defeated, and Vassis was by no means alone. Dutra was also a victim, and even because of his direct relationship, he received more accusations.And it was for this reason that he chose to accept Truman's proposal clearly from the very beginning.

"Of course I accept President Truman's proposal. Mr. President, do you want to be tortured by history a hundred years from now?"

Dissatisfied with Dutra's attitude, Vassis said: "General, please read the content of the message clearly. Truman did not list the specific number of reinforcements on it. If the United States only sends one regiment or even one battalion, you think Can they beat the Chinese?"

Dutra didn't take this question seriously, and said with a smile: "Mr. President, there is no need to worry. Since President Truman proposed it on his own initiative, I think he would not do such an anticlimactic thing. So I'm sure , even if the number of people they sent here is relatively small, they will definitely increase their manpower after losing the battle. Obviously, the Americans are more eager than us on this matter, aren't they?"

Vassis thought about it seriously, and approved Dutra's words. He said, "It's a pity, it's just a mercenary. If it was the regular American army, I would feel more at ease."

Perhaps thinking of restoring his lost reputation in Australia as soon as possible, MacArthur resigned immediately the second day after he left the White House, and immediately started the preparations for the "Maison Security Company" before getting a retirement certificate.

It is no better than the famous Blackwater Company in later generations.When Blackwater was formed, the United States was not in a state of war, so Blackwater could easily recruit a large number of retired soldiers and even military officers.Now, because the United States is in a state of war, those who have war skills in the country either join the active service, or serve in the country, and no matter how bad they are, they are also on the reserve list. Therefore, at the beginning, MacArthur had a hard time recruiting enough people. It was a brainstorm.Even in the end, under the pressure of the Brazilian government, Truman had to transfer a considerable number of people from active duty to him, so that he could gather enough people to arrive in Brazil before the deadline set by the Brazilian government.

At this time, the temporary airport in Fortaleza has been built, and the first batch of about [-] Chinese and overseas Chinese have also arrived in Fortaleza.

Because the secrecy work of the U.S. and Brazilian governments is very good, at this time, Chu Tiange did not know that a group of U.S. Marines were attacking Fortaleza as mercenaries, and in Florida, U.S., even Nearly [-] U.S. reservists are undergoing military training and will eventually be sent to Brazil.
