The reason why an ace unit can become an ace is not just by piling up equipment, it must have a real record of success.
It is not for nothing that Qin Ling can become the leader of the new generation of soldiers. As the unknown "god of war" in the southern African army, Qin Ling has all the conditions to become an excellent commander, so we can see at a glance the current shortcomings of the Mizhou Army.
When educating prospective officers, the Nyasaland Army Academy has been emphasizing that the troops must be mobile to find suitable opportunities to annihilate the enemy. The trench warfare popular during World War I has proven to be far behind this era. Mobile warfare
Or guerrilla warfare will be the main form of future war.
It is not only the relatively weak who can use guerrilla warfare. They are equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and have troops coordinated by the air force and helicopters. The guerrilla warfare is equally powerful. From the beginning, Qinling never thought of forcing the Americans back, but to annihilate them and establish them.
Only in this way can the military power of the Southern African Defense Force be demonstrated.
If it is just to force a retreat, why bother mobilizing ace troops to join the battle? Alliance troops and a protective umbrella can do it.
"Abandoning Victoria will cause Mizhou to lose access to the outside world. Once the war is protracted," Colonel Gao Shan, the commander of the Salisbury Rifle Regiment, has a solemn expression. During the World War, Gao Shan was the platoon leader of Qin Ling's company. When Qin Ling was still a sniper, Gao Shan
His military rank is already Second Lieutenant.
(There was an error in the previous chapter. The Northern Rhodesian Division should be under the Salisbury Rifles. This has been corrected)
It is a bit one-sided to use military rank to infer personal ability, but most of the time, military rank is indeed a concrete manifestation of ability.
After all, "gods of war" like Qin Ling are rare in number, and step-by-step promotions like Gao Shan's are the norm.
However, it can still improve steadily despite multiple disarmaments in southern Africa, and the capabilities of Gaoshan are self-evident.
"It doesn't matter. Brazil's coastline is 7,400 kilometers long. Between Rio and Victoria, there are hundreds of places suitable for supply. Do the Americans and Brazilian government forces have the ability to blockade the entire Brazilian coastline? Send all the American Great White Fleet over here.
It’s not enough.” Milo Norton, Gaoshan’s chief of staff, is a French-born Boer. Southern African troops basically have this combination, one white and one yellow. Only a few troops that need to perform special tasks are all composed of whites, or
All are composed of Orientals.
"Once the troops evacuate from Victoria, we need new supply points, Santa Cruz, Sao Paulo, Macae, any place will do." Qinling has been prepared for a long time. Unlike the rigid-thinking Americans, for Southern Africa, which is good at construction,
For people, suitable ports are everywhere.
During the Age of Discovery, due to the industrial capacity at that time, it was almost impossible to build an artificial port. Therefore, only natural ports with good natural conditions were possible to build ports.
By the 20th century, industrial capabilities were vastly different from those in the Age of Discovery, but white people were still limited to this thinking and were unable to break out, so they gave opportunities to countries like Southern Africa.
Of course, it may not be a limitation of thinking, but that the established powers in Europe and the United States already have enough natural harbors, so they do not need to spend huge amounts of money and manpower to build ports.
Southern Africans have accumulated rich experience starting from the construction of Port Edward and Port Elizabeth, to the construction of St. Roch and East and West Cape in Cyprus, and now to Kitchener. As long as there is a need, they can find places suitable for building ports.
Simply don't need too much.
“Wasn’t Macae massacred?” Nelson Terry asked casually. The League of Nations has decided to send an investigation team to Macae to investigate the truth of the Macae massacre.
This problem of Nelson Terry is also the Achilles heel of the old colonial countries.
With the exception of the Anglo-Saxons, the reason why other races around the world have multiplied to this day is ultimately due to population.
Fortunately, the Anglo-Saxons do not have a large enough population. If the Anglo-Saxons had a population of 200-300 million during the Age of Discovery, the fate of other races in the world would probably be similar to that of the American Indians.
The same goes for Brazil. Portugal did not have a large enough population, so Brazilians survived.
Nelson Terry is worried that all the people in Makae have died, and the entire city may have become a dead city. Even if southern Africa has a large population, building a port in Makae will require the cooperation of local people.
"What does it matter? Move some people from West Africa to Macae." Milo Norton was ruthless. This was a ruthless attempt to occupy a magpie's nest, and it was the Southern African version of extermination of households.
West Africa was merged into Southern Africa, and Africans living in West Africa naturally became Southern Africans.
Not everyone is happy to see this. Even though West Africa has nearly a million square kilometers of land and rich natural resources, there are still many southern Africans who insist on leaving the land but not the people. It is best to send all West Africans to other countries.
go.
The other countries here don’t even include the Southern African Union countries.
Because in the long run, the Southern African Union countries may be integrated into Southern Africa in the future, so by then, Africans living in the Southern African Union countries will still be a problem.
Integration is too difficult for southern Africa.
Hence, many southern Africans insist that Africans should be left to fend for themselves.
“This is a matter for the federal government. We are only responsible for defeating the Americans.” Qinling did not overstep its authority, and it was not Qinling’s turn to make the decision.
Before Qinling’s orders came to Victoria, Belo Horizonte and Vargas were facing pressure from Brazilian officers in the Mizhou Army, headed by Paulo Coutinho.
The reason is simple. Although the Mizhou Army is now facing huge hidden dangers, not everyone can see this, especially the Brazilian officers of the Mizhou Army.
Seeing that the Mizhou Army has surrounded Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian officers in the Mizhou Army finally couldn't help but jump out and tried to seize the command of the Mizhou Army.
Previously, the Mizhou Army's operations were all commanded by the Umbrella Company and the Southern African Military Advisory Group.
The military advisory group provides free assistance, but the umbrella company is hired by the Michigan state government at its expense.
As we all know, hiring senior mercenaries from the Umbrella Company is very expensive. A senior mercenary from the Umbrella Company costs about R150 per month during combat in Brazil, while the salary of an ordinary Brazilian soldier is only a mere R100.
Mires, converted to about 2.5 rand.
This means that hiring a mercenary from the Umbrella Company costs about the same as recruiting 60 Brazilian soldiers.
When the conflict first broke out, the Mizhou Army lacked experience and really needed the guidance of mercenaries from the Umbrella Company.
Now that the war has started, many of the US Army soldiers have become experienced veterans, so the Brazilian officers headed by Coutinho believe that the US Army is now capable of getting rid of the leadership of Umbrella Company mercenaries and even southern African military consultants. It is time
Take back command of the Mizhou Army.
It’s actually just picking peaches.
Of course, Coutinho has his own rhetoric: "If we cannot get rid of the influence of the umbrella company, then even if we overthrow the military government in Rio, it will only change from a vassal of the United States to a vassal of southern Africa. In that case, what will happen to Brazil?"
When will it become an independent country? Brazil has a vast territory, rich resources, and 35 million citizens. Brazil only needs an opportunity to become a country similar to southern Africa, at least in South America. It will have huge influence.
And now, this opportunity has appeared.”
These words sound quite provocative. Vargas also wants to build Brazil into a strong country.
However, Vargas still has sense. Stopping cooperation with the Umbrella Company means betraying the agreement with the Iron Four, and the Southern African federal government will definitely not give up.
"We are not betraying the agreement with Iron Four, we are just fighting for the rights that Brazil deserves. Isn't this normal? Our agreement with Iron Four is itself based on inequality. This is
Iron Sijiao is ruthlessly squeezing us. The mines owned by Iron Sijiao are located in Brazil, but our Brazilian governments at all levels cannot enjoy the benefits brought by the iron ore. This is abnormal, very abnormal!" Coutinho
Filled with righteous indignation, he demanded not only military command but also more benefits.
“Paul, the world has never been fair. Even if there were no Iron Four, there would still be U.S. Steel. Do you think U.S. Steel is a charitable foundation?” Vargas did not want to destroy the cooperation with the Iron Four.
Even if we want to destroy it, we should wait until the military government is overthrown and the dust has settled before we consider it.
Rather than being like this on the eve of dawn, betrayal of the agreement with the Iron Four would probably result in failure.
However, there is always no shortage of careerists in this world, especially careerists whose abilities and ambitions do not match.
People, the biggest difficulty is to recognize yourself.
"At least we can communicate with U.S. Steel on a relatively equal footing. When Steel Four Corners purchased those mines, they paid for them at plantation prices. This in itself is a shameful deception and fraud!" Coutinho roared!
, the sound echoed through the corridor.
At this time, the door of Vargas' office was suddenly pushed open, and Augusto and Fan Bao came hand in hand.
Coutinho immediately shut up.
Vargas looked embarrassed, with a flash of shame and anger in his eyes.
Coutinho came to see Vargas. Augusto and Fanbao actually learned the news so quickly. It is conceivable how far Vargas’s governor’s mansion has been infiltrated by the protective umbrella and the Iron Four.
Augusto didn’t say anything. He came to Vargas’ desk with a cold face and pulled out a chair for Fan Bao.
Van Bosch sat down, and Augusto stood beside Van Bo, his right hand seemingly casually placed on the holster on his waist.
This is again the privilege of southern Africans. When Coutinho came to see Vargas, he could not bring weapons.
