Reborn American Giants

It was still early, and the early morning sunlight had not yet reached the sky above the forest in front of us. The fog on the ground was entangled among the shrubs and trees, deterring the birds and blocking people's sight.

Victor was wearing a leather hunting suit, carrying a Remington single-barreled shotgun on his shoulder, and walked up the southern road at the foot of the mountain. Walking next to him, in addition to Garcia, was Clay Benedix.

The head of the Mento family and several others traveling with him.

To be honest, Victor was thinking that with the turmoil brewing at the center of power in the Independence Palace, as long as Amfilo won, a purge of the capital and local forces would inevitably follow.

And if he wants to truly control his own destiny, this is a golden opportunity.

Therefore, this is a critical moment that determines Victor's future destiny. All available power must be used.

And if Amfilo wants to knock Jose out of power, not only does he need to have the entire military in his hands, he must at least find enough support within the government forces, otherwise his plan will be nothing more than a dream.

Victor also needed to find his own allies among the military, so he asked Garcia to arrange a meeting. He was going to visit the Clemento family's family estate on the outskirts of San Salvador.

And when Garcia brought back the news that Victor was coming to visit, Benedix was also a little undecided. Originally, their plan was to win over Victor and let him become a member of the military, especially since the Clemento family was in the government.

Internal interest spokesperson.

However, as time slowly passed and the situation continued to change, Benedix's feelings for Victor became more and more complicated.

This young man has the news media at his disposal, able to influence public opinion, and various networks within the capital city government. He also has a warm relationship with the garrison in San Salvador.

With a lot of money in hand, it would be too easy for Victor to make some trouble when the military lacks military expenditures.

Of course, in Benedix's eyes, these things increased Victor's importance.

However, the recent mysterious development of the situation in Poyun, San Salvador has made him somewhat hesitant. The media and public opinion are attacking Jose, the owner of the Independence Palace. According to the news Benedix learned, with land and agriculture

A small group of ministerial officials in the cabinet, led by Minister Yolande Behn, have publicly expressed their concerns and dissatisfaction with some of the policies implemented by the leader. This has to make people question Jose's control over his cabinet.

…

Therefore, Benedix, who had a keen sense of smell, asked Garcia to slow down his efforts to win over the young man Victor, and wanted to wait until the situation became clearer.

Unexpectedly, he slowed down his actions, but Victor came uninvited...

As time passed slowly, the fog gradually dissipated, the sun rose in the east, the terrain got higher step by step, and the line of sight gradually became wider. Victor stood on a boulder with half of its area exposed to the outside on the edge of a cliff.

He smiled at Benedix beside him and said, "General, the scenery here is really nice."

"Yes, this place is not far from Lake Ilopango. This is one of the reasons why the family chose to build the manor here." Unlike Victor, although he is a soldier, he has been in high positions for decades.

, lack of exercise, Lieutenant General Benedix's body that he was once proud of has long been out of shape, and there are circles of fat on his stomach due to sitting in an office for a long time.

At this moment, just after climbing the mountain a little, Benedix felt that his physical strength was a little weak. He put a hand on his stomach and sighed with a slight breath: "... Time is really not forgiving.

It seems that I cannot accept old age anymore.”

"Haha, General, you are joking. It seems that I am really not a soldier." Making the same movement with his hands, Victor took the kettle handed over by Garcia and drank the cool boiled water in big gulps.

, he tightened the lid of the pot and sighed with a smile: "Today is really embarrassing. The hunting activities of the nobles that I saw in the movie seemed to be very enjoyable.

But when I walked today, I realized that this enjoyment also requires corresponding physical support. We only climbed for a while, and my legs were almost broken."

"Haha, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time and opportunities," Benedix said meaningfully, "I can't do it anymore. I'm just thinking about my future retirement life, raising flowers, and all kinds of things.

Damn it, hug your grandson again..."

At this point, Benedix paused deliberately, then changed his voice and said: "... Victor, Garcia told me about the plan you prepared. To be honest, you two are really courageous. You actually want to

Do you want to do "arms trade"?"

Victor's eyes twitched, but before he could speak, Benedix spoke first and explained: "...Victor, don't blame Garcia.

The fact that you are planning to purchase weapons and equipment from the Americans is too important for him to hide it from his family."

Glancing at Garcia, who was looking away with a sly expression, Victor couldn't tell what Benedix's attitude towards this matter was from Benedix's tone, so he took a deep breath and chuckled.

Then he said: "General, what you are saying is serious... No one is born with a heart like a leopard or a leopard with courage. They all change due to the development of the situation."

He had done his homework before coming, and Benedix's current life in the military was not as carefree as he appeared.

Not to mention that his status is unstable, at the very least he is in trouble and is in constant trouble.

According to Antino and Guadui, although Lieutenant General Benedix, Mahin and Alejandro are known as the military's three giants, they jointly face the pressure from the Independence Palace on the military forces.

.

But this does not mean that they are monolithic. This is also a power duel arena that is relatively small in scale.

There is both cooperation and confrontation between Benedix, Mahin and Alejandro.

The objects of cooperation are the civil servants who now have control over the country's large and small powers. They are wary of and suppress the military forces that once held great power.

Confrontation is a battle between each other for the "right to speak" within the army.

There is no doubt that compared with Lieutenant General Ma Xin, who is called the number one person in the military by the outside world, and Asia, who actually controls most of Salvador's military power and is engaged in a military confrontation with the anti-government guerrillas led by the Farabundo Martí Front on the front line.

As far as Lieutenant General Alejandro is concerned, Benedix, who originally controlled the supply of military logistics materials, should not be in such an absolute disadvantageous position now.

But this is also true. With the military's financial problems, Benedix is ​​gradually losing the strength to confront Mahin and Alejandro.
