Many things should not be taken at face value. Every ethnic group has its good and bad qualities. Among white people, there will be others like the Boers. Of course, there are also hard-working Brazilians and Africans.
Based on Fan Bao's experience in Belo Horizonte, some Brazilians are really lazy, and some can even be called bad. However, whether they are lazy or bad are a minority, and most Brazilians are pretty good.
Fan Bao's current driver is a Brazilian in his 40s. He is taciturn and conscientious in his work. Every morning before Fan Bao gets up, he will wipe the car clean, just like when it left the factory.
The Brazilian mercenaries hired by the Umbrella Company are also serious and responsible. When standing guard, they can remain motionless under the scorching sun for two hours.
The cleaning ladies hired by Iron Four Corners Company are paid a low salary, only equivalent to 1.5 rand per month. Even so, there are many people vying for jobs, so the office area of Iron Four Corners Company is not only spotless, but also the level of hygiene is definitely up to standard.
Those lazy or bad Brazilians will show their true colors after working for a period of time. If such people do not cause heavy losses to the company, just fire them and let them fend for themselves.
As for those who have caused huge losses to the company, let them be dealt with directly by the Mizhou police. The Mizhou police have many ways to make it impossible for them to survive or die.
In fact, there are many things that cannot be helped.
Needless to say Brazil.
Germany also prides itself on being a civilized country. During the period when the mark depreciated rapidly, 100 marks could still be exchanged for 15 US dollars when salary was paid, but at the end of the month it could only be exchanged for 5 US dollars. At this time, there was no point in saving money, and the speed of making money was certain.
It did not depreciate as fast, so the Germans during that period were all living on the moonlight, and only fools saved money.
Iron Four and Umbrella pay their salaries in rands. No matter how fast Mires depreciates, it has nothing to do with the rand.
The newly recruited recruits, those who were disobedient and lazy were immediately fired upon discovery, and those who remained were all obedient ones. Fan Bao planned to ask the driver for his opinion when leaving Brazil, if the driver wanted to continue working for Fan Bao.
, then Fan Bao can take the driver away at that time.
You can even take the driver and his family away.
People who work hard deserve better rewards.
While both Miami and Rio are intensifying their military strength, small-scale conflicts have begun to break out on the border between the two states.
In terms of area, Mizhou is more than ten times larger than Rio. Rio's area is only over 40,000 square kilometers, while Mizhou's area is more than 580,000 square kilometers.
There is such a huge difference in area, but the population is similar. Not to mention how cautious the upper echelons on both sides are, the arrival of a large number of "new" weapons and equipment has indeed given great confidence to the officers and soldiers at the bottom.
The small town of Santa Clara in the north of Rio is the intersection of Santa Clara and Miña, the three states of Rio.
The town is small, with only a few dozen households. The tallest building is the Baptist church. On the hillside not far away is a newly built outpost, in which is stationed a company of Miami National Guard soldiers.
The leader is Carl, a senior mercenary from the Umbrella Company.
In name, it is a company, but in fact there are only more than 30 people. The National Guard is expanding its troops. Karl hopes that his company will be able to replenish its troops soon, so that Karl will be more confident in facing attacks from military government forces.
After the weapons ordered by the state capital of Michigan from southern Africa arrived in Michigan, Carl's company immediately changed its equipment. Not only did the rifles be replaced by Lee Enfields with better performance, but Carl's post was also allocated two general-purpose machine guns and two
60mm mortar.
This gave Karl a bit of a headache. Machine gun shooters are easy to train. As long as you don't worry about it, you can always feed bullets. However, operating a mortar requires a long period of professional training. Therefore, compared with mortars, Karl prefers the only 40 mm
Grenade launcher, and two "super revolvers".
For soldiers who have never gone to school, the "super revolver" with a simpler structure and easier operation is obviously more popular.
To achieve combat effectiveness, weapons require strict training, so during this period, Carl and Sergeant Major Anthony, also from the umbrella, regarded training as their main task every day.
Carl is white and Anthony is African. He can be regarded as a third-class sergeant in the umbrella. Anthony is the kind of more reliable African. He takes his work seriously and strictly, especially when facing African-American soldiers in the National Guard.
It was simply harsh. Karl reminded Anthony many times about this, and Anthony also had his own reasons.
"Don't interfere with my work. I am an African myself, so I know Africans better than you-" Anthony always said this when explaining, and Anthony was not simply harsh: "-God can save Africa,
But it cannot save Africans.”
The last sentence is so helpless.
"Don't say that, you and I are both Africans -" Karl always comforted Anthony like this. Although Karl and Anthony obviously didn't mean the same thing by "Africans", Anthony could still feel Karl's friendship.
In terms of qualifications, Anthony joined Umbrella Company earlier than Carl, and every time he performed a mission, Anthony always fought bravely and was not afraid of death.
When Anthony went to war with southern Africa, Carl was still in high school.
But now Karl's military rank is captain, and Anthony is still a sergeant major.
Unless Anthony can achieve the kind of feats that can be called "unbelievable" level, otherwise in this life, the third-level sergeant major will probably be Anthony's ceiling.
Among the National Guard soldiers at the outpost, the shortest service time was more than a year, and they adapted to new weapons very quickly.
Anthony takes his work seriously and responsibly. After every training, he requires the soldiers to carefully maintain their weapons as required. Anthony will check them one by one. If there is any failure, the consequences will be serious. In addition to not being able to enjoy fresh beef and fruits, he will also be responsible for cleaning the toilets.
.
One day in mid-October, about a company of Brazilian military government soldiers came to the small town of Santa Clara and started construction on the hilltop opposite the outpost. It looked like they would be stationed there for a long time.
Karl and Anthony expressed great concern about this. The straight-line distance between the two posts was no more than three kilometers, which theoretically just reached the limit range of the general-purpose machine gun. However, it was basically meaningless to shoot at this distance.
"Should we launch a surprise attack on them?" Anthony has a grumpy and aggressive character.
"No, we don't have authorization -" Carl is sensible, Mizhou is not ready yet.
"Then we will seduce them to attack us -" Anthony was itching. Mizhou was not prepared, and Rio was equally unprepared.
"What do you want to do?" Karl trusted Anthony's experience. Each of the third-level sergeants climbed out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Anthony is indeed experienced. Karl and Anthony use telescopes to observe the opposite post every day, and the officers of the opposite post will definitely do the same.
Then Anthony began to implement his plan.
The officer at the outpost on the opposite side was probably very happy. From his observation, Karl and Anthony's outpost was simply full of loopholes. Not only were the positions of the machine guns unreasonable, but the post was also poorly disciplined and lacked troops. There were not even sentries at noon.
Arrangement, this is seriously inconsistent with the legendary power of the Umbrella Company.
Wait, machine gun—
In such a small outpost, there are actually two heavy machine guns mounted on tripods.
And there is an automatic grenade launcher, and the soldiers are equipped with Lee Enfield——
Mizhou is indeed as wealthy as the legend says.
Looking at the Winchester rifles equipped by his soldiers, and then looking at the Lee Enfields equipped by the Michigan soldiers, Captain Santos shook his head speechlessly.
Although Santos does not want to admit it, compared with the United States, which has support from southern Africa, the performance of the Brazilian military government is indeed a bit amateurish.
Santos' company has a total of 126 people. Although the rifles they are equipped with are all Winchesters, they have three different calibers. This brings disaster-level difficulties to the company's logistics. All Santos can do is to try his best to combine the rifles with his colleagues.
A rifle of one caliber was equipped to a platoon, and then Santos discovered to his dismay that the superiors had distributed different numbers of bullets to the company, and the largest number of them was actually the .303-inch R rifle bullet that could only be used by Lee Enfield.
Santos' company is not equipped with Lee Enfield at all, so what's the use of .303-inch R rifle ammunition?
Wait, even though Santos' company doesn't have Lee Enfield, the soldiers at the opposite post are equipped with Lee Enfield.
After realizing this problem, Santos' ambition grew uncontrollably like weeds in spring.
At this time, Santos still had sense. After all, the outpost on the opposite side was equipped with advanced equipment, and Santos did not dare to launch an attack rashly.
But one evening, after Santos discovered that there was a woman in the guard post opposite, Santos finally made up his mind.
At this time in Brazil, the military camp was a restricted area for women, so when Santos discovered that there was a woman in the opposite post, Santos immediately believed that the soldiers at the opposite post were recruiting.
It's normal to recruit people, but to be recruited in a military camp and offer door-to-door service is too much.
Santos immediately gathered his troops and prepared to attack the opposite post that night.
Just after Santos issued the combat order, at the Michigan National Guard post, Carl, Anthony and other National Guard soldiers were laughing and laughing around the three cross-dressing men.
In the Michigan National Guard barracks, women are also restricted.
However, among the thirty or so young men, there must be some with good looks. It is not unacceptable to wear women's clothes and wander around outside the camp, not to mention there are bonuses to be received.
"The person opposite must have been fooled now, right?" Karl admired Anthony. If a man does that, there will be nothing wrong with a woman.
