When Hopman walked out of the hotel, in a private house diagonally opposite the hotel, Neil Scott was using a telescope to observe the hotel.
Neil Scott is the operations leader of the "X" department, which is a subsidiary of Bullard's office and is responsible for overseas operations.
According to the division of labor between Brad and Umbrella, Brad handles the internal affairs and Umbrella handles the external affairs.
As Brad and Umbrella's business became more and more extensive and their reputation grew, they gradually began to receive the attention of the intelligence agencies of various countries, so "X" was born.
Neil Scott is already familiar with the situation in the hotel. About a company of government troops is responsible for the outside of the hotel, and there is about a small group of U.S. Marines responsible for the interior of the hotel. Probably the Americans think that a group of diplomats are not capable of escaping from Rio.
, the defense inside and outside the hotel is very lax. The only thing to worry about is the port defense force. Once the operation starts, if it cannot be evacuated within five minutes, the operation will face failure.
five minutes.
To break through the defense lines of government troops and US troops, evacuate all 66 staff members from the hotel, and to get rid of the enemy and successfully evacuate Rio, a careful plan is required.
"How is the situation?" Nicholas, the deputy team leader, came over with two cups of coffee. The two of them have been staying in this house for three full days.
"The U.S. Ambassador to Brazil, Hopman, just left the hotel. His face was ugly and he seemed to have gained nothing." Neil took the coffee and sat on the chair next to him to take a rest.
Nicholas took over Neil's work, picked up the telescope and continued to observe: "At least that shows that the person is still alive——"
"Haha——" Neil chuckled. There was a high probability that the Americans would not dare to take action against Jones and the others. It was also based on this judgment that Neil was still looking for opportunities, otherwise "X" would have taken action long ago.
"We have to find a way to sneak into the hotel and get in touch with Ambassador Jones." Nicholas had a headache. Although the hotel's defense was very lax, "X" did not dare to act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy.
"Can you get some sets of U.S. Marine Corps uniforms?" Neil was also thinking of a way. Since he couldn't wait for the opportunity, he would take the initiative to create the opportunity.
"I'll find a way -" Nicholas took the initiative, his Western European face was still very confusing.
It's not about confusing Americans, it's just enough to be useful to Brazilians.
During this period, Nicholas pretended to be an American and was almost successful in Rio. As an agent, he was familiar with doing this.
Nicholas was very efficient. Not only did he get several sets of U.S. Marine Corps uniforms, but he also got a car with the U.S. Marine Corps logo.
When it comes to cars, Americans are still a little immature. The cars are clean and don’t even have a sticker on them. They are very different from the military cars in southern Africa.
The front windshields of military vehicles in southern Africa are covered with a row of colorful stickers.
This is not for personalization. Many stickers have special meanings. Even if someone who doesn't know what is going on gets the car, it will be easy for them to cheat on it.
The same goes for Brad's office. Agents are better at these low-cost but effective little tricks. Someone once drove a car in Pretoria and pretended to be a staff member of Brad's office. As a result, he was easily seen through and the stolen goods were confiscated.
get.
Americans were seriously inexperienced in this area. With uniforms and cars, Neil and Nicholas carefully formulated an action plan.
This plan requires the cooperation of the Mizhou Army.
After attacking Rio de Janeiro, the Mizhou Army made rapid progress, and now half of Rio de Janeiro is under the control of the Mizhou Army.
In two days at most, the Michigan Army will attack near the dock. By then, the Americans will definitely have to move the embassy staff to other areas, which will give Neil and Nicholas an opportunity.
Facts have proved that the Michigan Army's offensive speed is faster than Neil and Nicholas imagined.
In the afternoon of the next day, the forward troops of the Michigan Army were less than one kilometer away from the port. In the evening, the USS Maryland battleship docked in Rio shelled Rio in order to prevent the Michigan Army from attacking.
In the previous stage of the battle, the "Maryland" and "Lexington" had been in the sea near Victoria.
After the Michigan Army voluntarily abandoned Victoria, the "Maryland" came to Rio to cooperate with the U.S. Marine Corps in combat. This was the first time the "Maryland" participated in combat since it was built.
In addition to the 406 main gun, the "Maryland" is also equipped with 12 127mm high-level and flat dual-purpose guns. The main guns have a limited lifespan. The "Maryland" uses secondary guns to bombard the Michigan Army.
Even so, the "Maryland" still caused huge trouble to the attacking Michigan Army. The killing radius of the 127mm gun can reach about 25 meters. Even if the power is reduced in an urban environment and there is no protective capability for the infantry, it is still
Will suffer huge damage.
"Where is our plane?" In a house about one kilometer away from the port, Karl and Anthony huddled together and shivered.
Facing the brutal naval guns, no matter how powerful a single soldier was, he could not compete. Carl's ears were ringing, his head was in terrible pain, he could not stand, and his condition was very bad.
Anthony was even worse. His ears and nose were bleeding, and he was lying motionless on the ground. His life or death was unknown.
Compared with those who are more unlucky, Karl and Anthony are already very lucky. They cannot feel the power of the naval gun without being there. Although on the surface the killing radius of the 127mm gun is only 25 meters, in fact the shrapnel flies out to 50 meters.
In addition, it can still cause fatal harm to people.
What's more, compared with shrapnel, the impact caused by the explosion is more harmful to people. Many people's bodies appear to have no wounds on the surface. In fact, their internal organs have been nearly shattered, and their clothes will be blown away by the impact.
Extremely miserable.
Karl and Anthony were both veterans with rich experience. When they heard the sound of artillery shells flying over, they subconsciously made the most correct response, so they were able to escape. Others were not so lucky.
Karl is definitely not in the mood to count losses now, he is concerned about Anthony now.
"Cough, cough, cough - damn, this time is really going to kill me -" Anthony sounded fine and still full of energy.
"American warships have joined the war, where are our planes?" Karl finally realized the cruelty of asymmetric warfare. Many soldiers lost their lives without knowing what happened, and their lives were like straw on the bloody battlefield.
"Bah, bah, bah -" Anthony spat desperately. During his brief coma, Anthony's mouth was full of dirt.
The "Maryland" has not yet undergone large-scale modernization and modification. It will not be until after the Pearl Harbor incident that the "Maryland" will undergo its first modification. Therefore, the aircraft of the US Army can now pose a huge threat to the "Maryland".
Of course, the damage caused by a single plane to the "Maryland" is limited. Unless more than a dozen or dozens of planes fly together, it is possible to keep the "Maryland" in Rio forever.
But if we do that, a full-scale war may really break out between southern Africa and the United States.
Anthony was not in the mood to answer Karl's question, and after spitting for a long time, he couldn't feel it was all done. He took off the water bottle from Karl's waist and took a big gulp.
"Damn it, what the hell is that kettle filled with wine?" Anthony cursed, using the word "ye" well.
"Hahahaha——" Carl laughed wildly. Alcohol is nothing. There are also psychotropic drugs in Carl's backpack. These are all standard nowadays.
You may not believe it, but most drugs were originally developed to be used by troops, so that soldiers can be fearless on the battlefield and unleash their full potential.
So not only the Mizhou Army, but also the armies of European and American countries, if they want to explode the small universe, they all rely on taking drugs.
The control of psychotropic drugs in Southern Africa is very strict. Compared with the huge side effects, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa is more willing to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops through equipment. Umbrella Company has lower requirements in this regard. After all, many Umbrella Company mercenaries themselves are
They are retired military personnel from European countries.
By this time, the shelling had ended, and the neighborhood where Karl was located had been completely destroyed, with not even a single intact house left.
Wailing sounds could be heard vaguely, and it was unclear whether they were wounded soldiers or civilians.
A big tree on the roadside was ignited by artillery shells and was burning. At the bottom of the huge crater under the tree, the wheels of a children's bicycle were rolled into twists, and the small red flower on the front of the bicycle was in ruins.
A Mizhou Army soldier staggered out of the rubble. Before he could figure out the situation, he was shot down by a sniper in the distance.
Now the snipers of the U.S. Marine Corps have also learned from the snipers of the Michigan Army. They do not hit the fatal parts of people, but they also try to "encircle the point and provide reinforcements."
The Mizhou Army was already prepared. Two smoke grenades were thrown over, blocking the sniper's sight. When the smoke dissipated, the wounded soldiers had been carried away.
Karl finally found his whistle and blew it hard to rally the troops.
The result made Karl very sad. Before the bombardment, the troops led by Karl still had nearly a hundred people, but now there were less than 20 left, and almost everyone was injured.
When the battle reached this level, Karl's troops had lost their ability to attack.
However, Karl cannot retreat now. Karl's troops cannot retreat until other troops take over.
As night fell, two U.S. Marine Corps off-road vehicles and two trucks came to the hotel to move the staff of the Southern African embassy in Brazil to other places.
"There are more than sixty of us, how can we fit in one truck?" Jones tried his best to stall for time. He still didn't know where the Americans were going to take them.
"Stop talking nonsense, everyone get in the car!" the US military officer leading the team roared. The Mizhou Army was advancing under the cover of night. In the deep night sky, tracer bullets streaked across the sky from time to time. The sky in the distance flickered, and the sound of gunfire was like firecrackers.
They are all connected together, just like hell.
"Get in the car -" Jones gritted his teeth, still looking left and right when he got in the car.
Jones knew that his man must be nearby, but he didn't know where.
