Before the outbreak of the Brazilian Civil War, Vargas had already been to southern Africa once, and that time Vargas had a general understanding of the power of southern Africa.
Now that the new Brazilian government has been established, Vargas should be the first to visit southern Africa, both emotionally and rationally. While expressing gratitude to southern Africa, he should also continue to seek more assistance.
It was less than a month before the opening of the Friendship Games. If Vargas wanted to catch up with the opening ceremony, he had better leave as soon as possible, otherwise he might not be able to catch up with the opening ceremony.
Just go and go, now Vargas has no way out, not to mention that Vargas also needs the experience of Southern Africa. After all, Southern Africa was also a country built on ruins.
Of course, in order to show his support for Los Angeles, Vargas did not forget to form a delegation to participate in the Los Angeles Friendship Games. There is no need to worry about the candidates. The Umbrella Company has many good athletes. Vargas only needs to choose the right officials to lead the team.
Vargas was going to Los Angeles to participate in the opening ceremony of the Friendship Games, and received strong support from Augusto and Fan Bao.
The Umbrella Company hired people, Iron Four Corners paid for it, and the delegation sent by the new government did not spend a penny and earned R100,000 for the new government before they even set off. This made Vargas very satisfied.
Sports games do make money. No wonder Southern Africa enjoys it. Iron Four Corners does not have high requirements. As long as Brazilian athletes are willing to wear sportswear embroidered with the Iron Four Corners logo and appear on the field, Iron Four Corners is willing to pay.
Augusto was more satisfied. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company knew nothing but how to play with guns. Vargas agreed to select people from the Umbrella Company to represent Brazil. Augusto even promised to win medals for Brazil, which was very important to Vargas.
It was an unexpected surprise for Garth.
On July 15, Vargas and the Brazilian delegation boarded the Southern African cruise ship "Victory" in Rio de Janeiro and headed for Walvis Bay in southern Africa.
The "Lady of Victory" cruise ship is a brand new 10,000-ton giant ship. The original route was between London and Whale Bay. Roque knew that Vargas wanted to participate in the opening ceremony of the Goodwill Games, so he specifically ordered the "Lady of Victory" to return to Whale Bay.
On the way to the bay, he made a detour to Rio to pick up someone, for which Vargas was very grateful.
Captain Thomas was worried.
When the "Lady of Victory" went to Rio, it inevitably had to pass through Victoria. Off the coast of Victoria, the "Lady of Victory" was once intercepted and inspected by the US Navy.
However, the U.S. Navy did not board the ship. After strong protests from the "Lady Victory", the U.S. Navy gave up the interception.
"The Americans will not give up. If the Americans know that the president of the new Brazilian government is on board, then the Americans may take risks." Thomas is worried that the Americans will make a desperate move.
"Don't worry, if the Americans dare to attack the 'Lady Victory', it will provoke a full-scale war between southern Africa and the United States." Mireis went to southern Africa with Vargas as a liaison. This time Mireis
Sri Lanka has gained a lot. Mires has received commissions from the deals reached between Southern Africa and the new Brazilian government through Mires.
"I hope so -" Thomas prayed for God's blessing. Unlike when it went to Rio, the "Lady Victory" did not need to pass through Victoria when it returned to Walvis Bay. It could go directly east across the Atlantic Ocean to reach Walvis Bay.
The sea was calm, the sky was cloudless, a few seagulls were flying over the "Victory Lady", and a whale jumped out of the water not far away. Vargas was in a good mood and temporarily forgot about the troubles in Brazil.
“Although Rio de Janeiro has a long history, the city is not well planned. Like most cities that grow disorderly, there are many difficult problems to solve, such as narrow streets, rugged roads, incomplete supporting facilities, and ubiquitous slums.
, these are the biggest obstacles for Rio to become a world-class city-" Mires has now done his homework, and there will be no more own goals like before.
"Of course there is a reason for this. Rio de Janeiro was founded in 1555. It was just a small colonial settlement at the beginning. No one thought at that time that Rio would develop to what it is today. There was no concept of a modern city at that time, so naturally it was
There is no plan." Vargas was wearing a white suit and a white straw hat full of South American colors. This straw hat is a local specialty in Rio, and one of the gifts Vargas prepared for Roque.
In order to prepare a gift for Roque, Vargas also took great pains.
The gift was too vulgar and did not show Vargas' sincerity.
The gift is valuable——
For Rock, how precious is precious?
So it’s important to be considerate of etiquette and affection. Gifts with local Brazilian characteristics are a good choice.
"So this is an opportunity for us to build a brand new Rio de Janeiro, with well-planned commercial and residential areas, spacious streets, smooth roads, parks, green spaces, sunshine, beaches. Southern African cities will give you more inspiration.
." Mires highly praised the urban construction level of Southern Africa. There are few countries in the world that can surpass Southern Africa in this regard.
Needless to say, those ancient cities in Europe had similar problems to Rio de Janeiro due to the constraints of the conditions at the time.
However, there are still a large number of nostalgists in Europe. They are nostalgic for everything from the past, from architecture to customs, and will not make any changes due to the development of the times. This has led to the delay in the renovation of old cities. Many cities have old towns and
The new town looks modern, and the old town looks like a huge museum.
Almost all cities in Southern Africa were newly built in recent decades, including Pretoria, which was rebuilt from the ruins. The ones with a little history are Cape Town, Durban, Elizabeth and a few other cities, including the Federation of Southern Africa.
The government has also worked hard and insisted on planning the city in a scientific manner from the beginning, which is why the current situation is flourishing.
"Pretoria is good. If Christian Construction Company can build Rio de Janeiro like Pretoria, then Mr. Christian will be our forever friend in Brazil." Thinking of the city appearance of Pretoria, Wa said
Gass also felt inexplicably excited.
Pretoria is indeed very beautiful, especially on both sides of the Apis River. Taking a yacht tour on the Apis River at night is the most famous tourist project in Pretoria.
"That will cost a lot of money!" Mires was surprised. To build Rio de Janeiro into a second Pretoria, Vargas would probably be unable to accept the amount of money spent.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, we have the port revenue as collateral -" Vargas has no worries about having too many debts now. Christian Construction Company will not take away all the port revenue anyway, leaving some for Rio.
This is a virtuous circle. If Christian Construction Company hopes to obtain more profits, then Christian Construction Company must increase its investment in Rio.
In this way, after the port operating rights expire, the Rio municipal government will gain greater benefits.
Before Mires had time to speak, an exclamation suddenly came from the lower deck.
After all, Vargas is also the president of Brazil, so he must live in the presidential suite on the top floor.
Mires secretly screamed, but when he looked back, he saw that a warship flying the American flag was catching up quickly.
"What the hell is going on?" Mires subconsciously shouted, the last thing he wanted to see happened.
"What the hell is going on?" Vargas also looked livid. Now is the worst situation. On the vast sea, the "Lady Victory" has no way to escape.
As a brand-new giant ship of 10,000 tons, the "Victory Goddess" can reach a maximum speed of 20 knots at full power.
This speed is top-notch among civilian ships, but compared to destroyers whose fastest speed can reach more than 30 knots, the "Victory Goddess" is as slow as a snail.
"Your Excellency, please return to the cabin immediately." Vargas's guard captain Peter is also a mercenary of the Umbrella Company.
In order to deceive others this time, Vargas only had one company of accompanying guards. Peter did not expect that the Americans still had the news that Vargas was going to southern Africa.
"What should we do if Americans want to board the ship?" Vargas can barely keep calm now, which is no longer easy.
"We will try our best to prevent Americans from boarding the ship." Peter hesitated before replying. The "Lady Victory" is a civilian ship and is not equipped with powerful military weapons such as naval guns.
Although the guards led by Peter had weapons, it was a pity that they were not enough to deal with pirates, but they were really useless against warships.
"Received a telegram from Pretoria, ordering us to proceed to Whale Bay at full speed -" The telegraph operator on the ship had a face full of panic. He had never encountered such a scene.
The American destroyer had a clear purpose. After catching up with the "Goddess of Victory" at a very fast speed, it sailed on the side of the "Goddess of Victory". The destroyer's main gun had taken off its gun jacket, and its muzzle was only pointed at the "Goddess of Victory".
.
"Victory, stop the ship immediately for inspection, stop the ship immediately for inspection -" the US destroyer began to shout to the "Victory".
"Tell the damn Americans that the Victory is a civilian ship in southern Africa and does not accept the jurisdiction of the U.S. Navy." Thomas remained stubborn and ignored the Americans' warning.
The American destroyers were tougher. Seeing that the speed of the "Victory" had not slowed down at all, the destroyer named "Resolution" suddenly opened fire on the channel in front of the "Victory".
The huge water column was more than ten meters high, and Thomas's shirt was soaked in cold sweat in an instant. Thanks to the application of wireless telegraphy, the Americans did not dare to do whatever they wanted, otherwise the "Resolution" would have shot directly at the "Victory" just now.
At this moment, a white waterline suddenly appeared on the sea not far from the "Resolution" and rushed towards the "Resolution" at an extremely fast speed.
This is a torpedo launched by a submarine.
