Brazil has the foundation to become a developed country, but it is much more difficult for Brazil to become a developed country than in southern Africa.
The United States will not allow a second developed country to appear in the Americas, and the same goes for Brazil. Brazil has been invaded by France, the Netherlands, and Portugal in history. If Brazil becomes a developed country, will it retaliate against the above countries?
Southern Africa does not have this hidden danger. Don’t forget that Southern Africa was originally a British colony, and then gradually became an autonomous dominion, a member of the Commonwealth, and finally became independent from the Commonwealth. It can be said that this journey has been smooth and has not been affected by other countries.
The interference of the First World War, coupled with the free ride of World War I, resulted in what is now southern Africa.
Oh, and there is another most important reason. Brazil is seriously underpopulated. 35 million people may seem like a lot, but in fact most of them have no education and live in scattered places. There are not even a few decent cities in the country. Roque estimates
In the end, Brazil will be like Australia at best, relying on export resources to become a "pseudo-developed country".
This must also be done under the premise of controlling population in Brazil.
Australia's population has also grown rapidly in recent years. When the World War broke out, Australia had only 5.5 million people. Now it has more than 8 million. Most of the new immigrants come from southern Africa.
"Brazil is rich in resources. Relying on export resources, it can obtain huge profits in a short period of time, but it is not enough to make Brazil a developed country. If it wants to become a developed country, it must still be based on its own manufacturing, strengthen the education of its citizens, rectify its governance, and train its citizens.
"A loyal and powerful armed force." Roque still hopes that Brazil can have a certain strength and at least create a certain threat to the United States.
"Yes, I am going to do this after returning to Rio de Janeiro." Vargas' expression was solemn. Rock said it easily, but it was easier said than done.
The rise of southern Africa is based on the Rand Gold Mine. With money, many problems can be solved.
Although Brazil is rich in resources, unfortunately they are not controlled by the government, but by the capitalists and landlords.
Moreover, the contradiction between Brazil's local government and the federal government is serious, and the local government's excessive power has already affected the federal government.
Brazil has a tradition of military intervention in politics in recent years. The domestic political situation is unstable, and the quality of Brazilians is not good. There are too many African Americans in the country, who are idle and idle. How to mobilize the enthusiasm of this group is the biggest problem facing the new government.
All in all, there is a lot of waste waiting for improvement. Unless Vargas initiates a top-down reform or revolution, the old vested interests will become Vargas's biggest obstacle.
Roque can't give Vargas much help in this regard. Southern Africa actually has serious problems in this regard, but because Southern Africa is developing very fast, the contradictions have been temporarily covered up.
Speaking of which, this is another story about a boy who slays a dragon and eventually becomes a dragon. The current vested interests in Southern Africa are centered on Transvaal, Nyasaland, and Rhodesia. When the economy is growing rapidly, everyone’s interests are
All interests can be protected and the situation can be maintained.
When the economy develops to a certain level, the growth rate will definitely slow down, and then it will depend on the federal government's ability to adjust.
"I expect Brazil to become a strong country. Out of the friendship between our two countries, Southern Africa will provide Brazil with the support it can." Roque encouraged Vargas. As long as Vargas is determined, Brazil still has hope.
.
"Thank you Lord, Brazil will always be Southern Africa's best friend," Vargas said sincerely. It's hard to say what the future will be like. At least for now, Brazil must rely on Southern Africa to fight against the invasion of the United States.
While Vargas was trying to win help from southern Africa in Los Angeles, the Michigan Army was launching a counterattack on the front line in Victoria.
Now Victoria has become the last stronghold of the U.S.-Brazilian coalition in southeastern Brazil. George Marshall has gathered heavy troops in Victoria, and there are powerful U.S. battleships on the sea to help. It will not be easy to recapture Victoria.
After recapturing Rio, Qinling shifted the focus of its attack from Rio to Victoria. When the US-Pakistan coalition tried to attack Belo Horizonte, it was almost impossible to move, and the railway could not be used at all. When the Mizhou Army counterattacked, the railway was unobstructed, so that
George Marshall had to order the U.S. Air Force to try to blow up the railway between Belo Horizonte and Victoria.
It is not easy to do this. The focus of the Mizhou Army's attack has shifted, and the air force has also moved from Rio to the direction of Victoria. The pressure on the US military in Victoria has suddenly increased.
At Victoria Airport, several US military pilots are studying tactics. In two hours, they will fly "Cerber" to attack Belo Horizonte.
Squadron Leader Mitchell is a New Yorker who was temporarily appointed after arriving in Brazil. The previous squadron leader was killed in an air battle a week ago. The plane was blown up by a volley and his body has not been recovered yet.
"So gentlemen, don't parachute unless necessary. We have lost control around Victoria. If you jump into enemy-occupied territory, you'd better beg for God's blessing." Mitchell was slightly pessimistic.
The pilots didn't say anything. They were all under great pressure.
In the previous stage of combat, the "Cerberus" has been proven to be inferior in performance to the "Strong Wind" equipped by the Mizhou Army.
When the Mizhou Army launched a general attack on Rio, U.S. pilots encountered a more advanced "storm" over Rio.
The result was regrettable. In the air battle in which the "Tornado" participated, the US pilots' record was 17 to 0.
It was also the largest air battle since the outbreak of the Brazilian Civil War.
"In other words, our mission this time is a narrow escape from death." Mike, a cowboy from Texas, sneered, not knowing what the meaning of such a mission was.
"Not necessarily. If we are lucky, maybe the air battle will not break out." Mitchell was also confused. This possibility is too low.
"Cerberus" does not fly as fast as "Strong Wind", does not fly as high as "Strong Wind", and is not as flexible as "Strong Wind". The quality of US military pilots is not as good as that of southern African pilots. In short, it is suppressed in all aspects.
In this case, the air raid on Belo Horizonte would either result in a narrow escape from death, or a direct loss of life.
"Then I have to hurry up and learn a few words in Chinese to avoid language barriers when I surrender." Mike said bluntly. There are some gossips among the pilots. It is said that the American pilots captured by the Mizhou Army were treated well, at least they were not mistreated.
"Mike, remember your identity, you are a glorious American Air Force." Mitchell was very angry. Such words had a serious impact on morale.
"Yes, I am the glorious American Air Force, not a damn cannon fodder!" Mike was also angry. The headquarters issued such a combat mission just to let the pilots die.
Southern African pilots showed no mercy to US pilots in air battles.
The southern African pilots who came to Brazil in the early days still had some problems with inexperience, and the two sides were still able to fight back and forth.
As time goes by, pilots in southern Africa have become more and more experienced, and the number of aircraft has increased. The U.S.-Brazil coalition navy has blocked the Brazilian coastline, but the US military has continued to obtain aircraft. This is very puzzling.
In fact, the answer is very simple. There are always loopholes in the so-called "blockade" of the US-Pakistan coalition. The Brazilian coastline is 7,400 kilometers, and it is impossible to completely blockade it. Sometimes weapons transportation is even carried out openly in areas controlled by government forces. The Mizhou Army only needs to pay a little bit.
At a small cost, the blockade of the US-Pakistan coalition can be easily broken through.
This is also a common problem in backward countries. Anyone can be bought with money, from politicians to civilians. As long as the money is enough, some people are willing to sacrifice their lives.
Therefore, since the war started, the Mizhou Air Force has become stronger and stronger, and the US-Pakistan coalition forces have become increasingly unable to meet their needs.
Before Mitchell could speak, an air raid siren suddenly sounded, and the pilots picked up their equipment and rushed to the runway. This was the fourth attack by the US military on Victoria in a week.
The runway was already in chaos at this time. Ground crews were busy refueling the planes. Vehicles transporting ammunition were speeding on the runway. The two planes were ready to take off, but because of the chaos on the runway, the pilots couldn't help but curse.
.
Mitchell ran desperately towards his plane. Before he could reach the plane, the sound of bombers diving could be heard in the air.
At this time, the air defense forces next to the runway had opened fire, and soldiers released a large number of smoke grenades on both sides of the runway in an attempt to interfere with the bomber pilot's sight.
However, the line of sight of the air defense forces was also disrupted. The Mizhou Army bombers hiding in the clouds were not greatly affected. A single 50-kilogram aerial bomb could cause fatal damage to the runway.
Although the airport defense force was at full strength, a bomber from the Michigan Army broke through the firepower network of the ground defense force and began to dive towards the airport runway.
beep
Aerial bombs make heart-rending sounds. In order to amplify this effect, the Mizhou Army frantically installed sound-producing devices on aerial bombs, which would have a greater deterrent effect.
Moreover, the aerial bombs of the Mizhou Army are not only high-explosive bombs, but also incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs.
So when he heard the scream of an aerial bomb, Mitchell immediately put on his gas mask, and then Mitchell discovered that a guy in a U.S. military uniform was shooting at his companions.
Damn it, the airport has been infiltrated by the Mizhou Army, how can we still fight this battle?
boom
The bomb finally fell. It didn't matter whether it was thrown on the runway or not. The key was that the fear caused by bombs constantly falling overhead was constantly amplifying.
Mitchell turned around and ran outside the runway. It was unreasonable to return to the lounge at this time. The lounge would become a key target of attack because the target was too big.
