The relationship between Southern Africa and Japan has always been very bad. During the British rule, there were still some Japanese descendants in Southern Africa. After autonomy, all Japanese descendants were expelled from Southern Africa. To this day, Southern Africa still rarely accepts Japanese immigrants. This is very important for an immigrant country. Said it's rare.
The Americans are also very insidious. While shouting for negotiations, they continue to send more troops to Brazil. Last month, the U.S. Department of War also proposed a recruitment plan, trying to imitate the Southern African Defense Forces to establish an armored force. This further highlights the importance of high-quality iron ore. importance.
It is also steelmaking. The cost for Southern African steel companies to obtain iron ore is only one-third of that of U.S. steel companies. This means that U.S. steel companies have no ability to compete with Southern African steel companies. In the beginning, Southern African car companies relied on Ford Lower costs have defeated Ford, which is also known for its low prices, and this has taught all American companies a profound lesson.
For this reason, even though the military government has lost Rio de Janeiro, the United States is still increasing its assistance to the Brazilian military government.
The Mizhou Army was so powerful that even though the U.S.-Pakistan coalition had the powerful U.S. Navy to assist them, the Mizhou Army still captured Rio within ten days.
Fragozo fled in panic, and the military government moved its capital to San Luis, a city in northern Maranhão state.
On the same day, Vargas announced the establishment of a new Brazilian government in Rio de Janeiro, and Southern Africa immediately congratulated the new Brazilian government.
After the boss spoke, a large group of younger brothers immediately followed to express congratulations to the new Brazilian government. Canada and Australia were the most active, following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Southern Africa and the new Brazilian government. The weirder South American countries did not break off diplomatic relations with the Brazilian military government. It also did not establish diplomatic relations with the new government. It was obviously just a show.
This is a very dangerous signal. If the Brazilian military government completely fails in the Brazilian Civil War, then the U.S. hegemony in the Americas will also be shaken. This is something the U.S. government cannot accept under any circumstances.
San Luis is the most Portuguese city in Brazil. However, this city was not founded by the Portuguese, but by the French. It was later occupied by the Dutch. There are about 4,000 historical buildings in the city. In 1904, it was held in San Luis. World Expo.
Like Victoria, St. Louis is a peninsula city located in the northwest of St. Louis Island with a population of only about 20,000. It is about 2,200 kilometers away from Rio de Janeiro and about 5,000 kilometers away from the mainland United States. This has also greatly shortened the logistics transportation lines of the US military.
In Pretoria, Roque saw off Jones. Diplomatic relations were established between Southern Africa and the new Brazilian government. Jones, as the diplomat most familiar with Brazil in Southern Africa, took the initiative to serve as Southern Africa's ambassador to Brazil.
"The new government and the military government are in confrontation. Brazil is expected to be in a state of civil war for a long time. This is more beneficial for us to control the Iron Four Corners. The Mizhou Army has begun to counterattack in the direction of Victoria to reopen the sea channel of Mizhou. Next, the federal government will also have a series of counterattacks. With the assistance of the new government, Vargas sent a telegram, hoping that you can return to Rio as soon as possible." Roque was still very satisfied with Jones. Even while being detained, Jones and the staff of the Southern African embassy in Brazil did not lose their courage.
After losing Rio, Victoria became the only stronghold of the US-Brazilian coalition on the southeast coast of Brazil. After Vargas announced the establishment of a new government, most states in Brazil had an ambiguous attitude and did not publicly express their support for the new government. Southern Africa
It's time to give Vargas enough aid to give other states more confidence.
If Victoria is recaptured, the U.S.-Brazilian coalition will have no choice but to retreat to northern Brazil, and the new government will be able to obtain a relatively safe environment, which will have a huge impact on the direction of the Brazilian Civil War.
"It is not wise for the new government to make Rio de Janeiro its capital. The maritime superiority of the US-Pakistan coalition is too obvious, and Rio may be attacked by the US-Pakistan coalition at any time." Jones is a little worried about Vargas's choice. From a security perspective, the new government
It would be safer to choose Belo Horizonte as the capital.
"Don't worry about this problem. The war will end sooner or later. Rio is the best choice at this stage." Roque is not worried. Although the US-Pakistan coalition has obvious advantages, the new government is not without resistance.
Just when Jones was about to return to Rio de Janeiro, off the coast of Victoria, the "Piranha" and the "Shark" were looking for opportunities.
After defeating Rio, the U.S.-Brazilian coalition retreated to Victoria, which now has a powerful fleet, including four U.S. battleships and two Brazilian military government battleships.
The targets of the "Piranha" and "Shark" are no longer limited to warships belonging to the military government. When the Mizhou Army occupied Rio, the U.S. Navy shelled Rio, almost reducing most of the city to rubble, leaving no time to escape.
Civilians leaving Rio suffered heavy casualties. When Vargas learned about it, he burst into tears and vowed to retaliate against the Americans. After the new government was established, Vargas immediately declared war on the United States.
This is amazing. Until now, Vargas has not declared war on the United States. This fully proves the influence of the United States on Brazil.
"The Americans' defense is very tight. The battleships are docked in the port and we cannot break into it." Inside the Shark, Chen Yan and Smith were studying the map. There were also photos provided by Kitchener Port next to them, although the pixels of the photos were not clear.
, Chen Yan and Smith could still easily find the location of the battleship.
This is also amazing. Southern Africa has supported Mizhou to this extent. Just because Southern Africa has not openly participated in the war, the US-Pakistan coalition cannot launch an attack on the Port of Kitchener.
Umbrella Company has been very low-key during this period. Several frigates have been docked at the berth for nearly a month without even leaving the port. The number of aircraft taking off and landing has become less and less to avoid irritating the US-Pakistan coalition forces.
However, the size of the Port of Kitchener has been expanding. From less than 10,000 people at the beginning, it has now grown to nearly 100,000 people. On the contrary, Victoria became an empty city. The US-Pakistan coalition occupied Victoria and the fighting in Victoria stopped.
, and not many citizens returned to Victoria.
Months of continuous bloody fighting have reduced Victoria to ruins. There is not even a complete house in the city center. It is not easy to rebuild a city on the ruins.
What's more, the Mizhou Army may come back again, and we don't know how long the fight will last.
"Even if they can break into the port, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape unscathed. Americans still have good anti-submarine technology." Smith is also very worried. Like the United Kingdom, the main battleships of the United States are surface ships, and the research on submarines is slightly lagging behind. The level of anti-submarine is low.
First class.
This was also aimed at the German Navy. In World War I, the Allied Navy's main troubles came from submarines, and anti-submarine warfare was an important task for the U.S. Navy.
"We can carry out peripheral harassment, and if we can knock out one ship, it will be one." Torpedo Officer Foster is eager to fight. The destroyers of the US-Pakistan coalition only have a tonnage of more than 1,000, and one torpedo can be sent to the bottom of the water.
"No, be patient. We haven't been exposed yet. We want to make a big splash." Chen Yan said calmly. The United States probably doesn't know that the Mizhou Army already has submarines.
But maybe, the ghost submarine has performed well in many military exercises, and the Americans must have been prepared for it.
Southern Africa has received news that the U.S. Navy has conducted multiple exercises for anti-submarine warfare.
When Germany has not fully broken through the Treaty of Versailles, it is obvious who the US Navy's exercises are aimed at.
Since no opportunity was found, the "Shark" returned directly to the base.
The base is a desert island about fifty nautical miles away from Victoria. The island has no permanent population, is far away from the waterway, and does not even have a lighthouse. The submarine base is in a natural cave under the desert island.
Coming out of the narrow and hot submarine, the environment is not much better. The lights next to the passage are dim, and iron railings are installed on the other side. As you continue to go up the stairs, the space gradually expands and the lights become brighter.
There was a vague roar of machinery, that was the sound of a generator.
Kitchina Port will provide supplies to the base every ten days. In order to avoid the surveillance of the US military, supplies are carried out at night. Fortunately, Kitchina Port is still rich in supplies, and the lives of the base staff are still guaranteed.
"Have you found an opportunity?" Colonel Luke, the base's top commander, is also from southern Africa. Brazilians do not yet have the ability to conduct submarine operations.
"It's difficult, unless we have more submarines." Chen Yan has no choice. The base currently only has two submarines. It's okay to attack a transport ship or something, but a raid on Victoria is just a dream.
"Then we will target the transportation lines that attack the Americans." Luke is not greedy for credit. Tens of thousands of U.S.-Pakistan coalition troops are stationed in Victoria Harbor, and supplies have to be transported thousands of miles from the United States. Such a long transportation line,
No matter how powerful the U.S. Navy is, it cannot be fully maintained.
"Okay -" Chen Yan was slightly resistant to this decision. After all, the transport ship was a civilian ship.
However, transport ships serving the military cannot be regarded as civilian ships.
The living area of the base is also underground. Hidden bases are like this. They don't see the light of day all year round. Although there are not as many Brazilian islands as there are in East India, there are still hundreds of them. The US-Pakistani coalition forces don't have time to clear them one by one.
The next day, the "Shark" set off again, this time its target was the US-Pakistan coalition transportation line in northern Victoria.
The ghost submarine is still very efficient against a single transport ship. In its first attack, the "Shark" sank a US military transport ship with a displacement of 5,000 tons.
When the news reached Victoria, George Marshall was furious. He immediately called Rio de Janeiro and demanded that the new government immediately stop attacks on U.S. military transportation lines, otherwise George Marshall would retaliate against the new government.
Equal revenge!
How else to retaliate? The U.S. Navy had already destroyed Rio de Janeiro once. How could it do it again?
The ruins in Rio have not been cleared yet.
