"Why go down the mountain? This is the last line of defense for our capital and we cannot leave.
If we leave, our capital will have no danger to rely on. We will never leave if the Brazilian Army marches in and captures the capital."
Kansas, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Venezuelan Division, 1st Regiment and 3rd Battalion stationed there, was very dissatisfied when he heard that the military headquarters asked the defenders to evacuate and go down the mountain.
"Kansas, do you want to disobey the order? This is a dual request from the military and the president. You must obey the order."
Captain Klose, the supervising captain, scolded Kansas with a straight face.
"If you dare to disobey military orders, it will be regarded as an act of rebellion and treason. Kansas, please don't make a mistake."
"Self-mistaken!?"
What happened to this country?
The army is obviously defending the capital, but the senior officials not only do not allow the frontline troops to prepare for the incoming enemy, but instead require the frontline troops to withdraw from the defense line.
What does it mean to evacuate the Mount Avila defense line? It’s self-explanatory.
This is surrender!
An indisputable act of surrender!
Mount Avila is Venezuela's strongest line of defense and the guarantor of the capital Caracas. As long as it evacuates, the enemy can invade the capital.
The capital is just a basin. Without the outer mountain defense line, how can there be any defensive power? How can we compete with the enemy on a flat plain?
What age is this?
Not even the age of knights was so brainless.
Evacuating the Avila Mountain defense line has only one meaning.
That means the top management is ready to surrender, completely give up resistance, open its arms to Brazil, and accept Brazil's trial.
"What is self-error!?
Giving up the defense line means that Venezuela has lost its ability to resist, which is an act of surrender.
The senior officials are extremely weak. They have been claiming that Guyana belongs to us, but when Brazil came to attack, they did not fire a single shot and chose not to resist.
This is not surrender, what is it?"
Although Kansas is only a small battalion commander, he is Venezuelan and grew up listening to Bolivar's stories. How could he choose to surrender to a foreign enemy?
"When did Bolivar, the founding father, teach us Venezuelans? When faced with a powerful enemy, instead of fighting back bravely, we surrender without resistance!?"
"Kansas, you are trying to disobey me. Someone come and arrest him!"
What Kansas said was extremely tough and very wrong. Crozier acted decisively, preparing to forcefully detain and take over military power.
Following Klose's order, the supervising team members immediately took action.
"Bah, you traitors!"
Kansas is not without people. This is his line of defense, and the soldiers are all his.
"Soldiers, capture these thieves for me. If they resist, they will be executed on the spot."
Kansas is an excellent officer with a tough style, loves his soldiers as much as his own son, and is deeply loved by his soldiers.
After his order, the soldiers obeyed the order one after another and began to control the supervising team and disarm them.
"Do you know what you are doing? Treason, you traitors."
Crozier, a member of the Caudillo class, followed the president's orders and was unwilling to go to war with Brazil.
"Brazil is irresistible. You must believe in the president. He will be responsible for Venezuela. He has communicated with Brazil and will definitely safeguard national interests."
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Kansas decisively shot Crozier three times, killing this shameless deceitful instigator.
"Still lying to us!
You idiots, even if you say you want to protect the country’s interests, you have already withdrawn from the defense line. I’m afraid you are ready to betray the country.”
After a conflict, Kansas took control of the war team, and then immediately encouraged the morale of the army and put the army into defensive mode to resist the incoming Brazilian army.
"Soldiers, behind us is our capital. We have a solid defense line and occupy a favorable terrain. We will surely win. This will become a hell for invaders.
Bolivar, watching us from heaven, Venezuela will definitely defeat the evil invasion of the Kingdom of Brazil!"
……
The more than 20,000 troops, officers and soldiers stationed in Avila Mountain understood the consequences of retreat. Many people refused to accept military orders and began to detain and even kill the supervising team.
In the Venezuelan Presidential Palace, Juan quickly received orders from the front line for disobedience.
"They actually disobey the president's orders. They are now rebels and must be suppressed."
Faced with this situation, Juan was well prepared and immediately mobilized more than 10,000 of his direct troops to suppress the rebels.
"Give me an order to have the Capital Guard Brigade and the First Venezuelan Division attack the troops who refuse to come down from the mountain.
Also, the police are ready for me. If anyone dares to take to the streets to cause trouble, they will kill them on the spot."
That’s it!
Before the Brazilian army attacked Mount Alawi, the Venezuelan army started fighting on its own.
16:51
"Here, what's going on on the mountain?
There are gunshots everywhere and we haven’t attacked yet!?”
Kaka, leading the main force of the Royal Second Division, approached Mount Avila. When he was about to launch an attack, he found that there was a battle going on on the mountain, and he looked confused.
The unexpected situation confused the army's top brass.
"Kaka, let's not attack first. Let's send a reconnaissance team over to take a look."
Alan, Chief of Staff of the Second Division, suggested Kaka.
"That's right.
This situation is too chaotic. Let’s send the first reconnaissance platoon to investigate.”
Kaka, choose to be cautious and send a team of elite reconnaissance troops to check the situation before making a decision.
After a while, shortly after sending out the reconnaissance team, the Second Division received a request from the Brazilian government to stop attacking the Avila Mountain defense line and gave the reasons.
Venezuelan President Juan has surrendered to the Kingdom of Brazil, and the king and cabinet have accepted it.
President Juan told the king that he asked the Brazilian Royal Second Division to stop its advance. There are rebels now in rebellion. After the rebels are quelled, he will surrender to the Brazilian army.
After reading the telegram, the second thing is that the senior officials knew the whole story.
"The exchange of fire on the mountain seems to be caused by Venezuelan troops disobeying orders, which led to a crackdown."
Kaka, he quickly guessed the reason for the firefight on the mountain.
Venezuelan President Juan wanted to surrender to the Kingdom of Brazil, but some officers and soldiers in the Venezuelan capital army did not agree and persisted in the war and continued to resist the Brazilian invasion.
These troops who persisted in resisting were regarded as rebels by Juan, and he was now mobilizing troops loyal to him to suppress the rebellion.
"Who are the rebels?
Shouldn’t a country’s army protect its homeland?
It’s really unimaginable that the army that insists on its duties can be declared as rebels by the government.”
Kaka, I never imagined that an army that insists on defending its homeland could also be considered a rebel.
Although he is an invader, Kaka still has a basic sense of right and wrong. In his view, those so-called rebels are fulfilling their responsibilities, while Venezuelan President Juan seems more like a traitor.
"Kaka, withdraw the reconnaissance team first!"
Alan said to Kaka.
"Now, our Brazilian Army's mission has been completed, and we just need to wait to receive the surrender of the Venezuelan army.
It is their civil war now, and it is not suitable for us to participate."
"That's right. We are just waiting to receive the surrender. The next step is to see how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiates with Venezuela."
