Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The relationship between Brazil and the United States has always been very good. The full name of Brazil now is the United States of Brazil, which was established in imitation of the United States of America. Even the flag of the United States of Brazil is a pirated American flag.

During the economic crisis, Brazil was inevitably affected. The economy declined, people's livelihood was in decline, and national income dropped sharply. Brazilians' dissatisfaction with the Brazilian government skyrocketed. Finally, in October last year, soldiers representing the interests of large estate owners and the big bourgeoisie launched a coup.

, the military junta composed of Augusto Tasso Fragozo, Izaias de Noronha and Mena Barreto came to power.

"So, if you want to get the iron ore in Minas Gerais, you must get the support of the Brazilian military government -" Little John meant a lot, and Rockefeller was also experienced in this aspect.

Remember the Great Summer Valley War mentioned earlier? Bolivia relied on the support of Standard Oil to gain an advantage in the war with Paraguay.

Now the Great Xia Valley War has entered a new stage. After the Bolivia offensive was frustrated, German General Hans Conte was hired to command the army. Not long ago, the Paraguayan army attacked Saavedra. The two warring parties fought in an area called "Seven Thousand

A bloody battle broke out in the open field of "meter". Both sides invested a total of 25,000 people in this battle. They relied on trenches, machine guns and heavy artillery to fight in a melee. Corpses were everywhere on the position. It was known as the South American version of the "Verdun Meat Grinder".

Because of General Conte's command errors, two Bolivian divisions were completely wiped out. The Bolivian army was routed thousands of miles away. The Paraguayan army captured more than 30 Bolivian army strongholds in the North Chaco region. In just six months, both sides suffered tens of thousands of casualties and more than 30,000 people.

.

Thirty thousand people are nothing compared to the battles during the World Wars.

However, Bolivia's population at this time was still less than two million, and Paraguay's population was even less, only one million. Therefore, at this level of fighting, both warring parties were actually exhausted and unsustainable.

"It's very simple. Iron Four Corners is supported by the state of Minas Gerais. It was with the support of Iron Four Corners that Getulio Vargas was elected governor of Minas Gerais.

, if the iron ore in Minas Gerais can be nationalized, then the Brazilian government will definitely be very happy." Young Morgan sneered, what the Rockefeller family can do, the Morgan family can also do, and can still do it.

better.

U.S. Steel is also a military-industrial company. Bethlehem Steel can build the main guns for the "Colorado" class battleships, and so can U.S. Steel.

"Jack, if you need my help, please don't hesitate." Charles Schwab offered him an olive branch. Bethlehem Steel Company also had needs for high-grade ore.

"Come to my office tomorrow and let's have a good chat." Little John didn't refuse. He turned inward and outward, and he was still able to speak out unanimously when facing a strong enemy.

Not to mention how U.S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel joined forces, after the establishment of the military government, the interests of Iron Four were not affected. At the end of last year, Getulio Vargas, who was supported by Iron Four, was elected as the governor of Michigan.

In return, Iron Sijiao Company's ownership of the Mizhou iron ore was once again confirmed by the Mizhou state government.

Getulio Donelles Vargas was born in 1882 in San Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, to a family of large farmers. He served in the military at the age of 17 and later became a lawyer. In 1909, he entered politics and served as a state legislator.

, Federal Member of Parliament, Minister of Finance of the Federal Government.

Last year, Vargas failed to run for president in the presidential election as a candidate of the Libertarian Alliance. After the establishment of the military government, he successfully ran for governor of the state of Michigan. Vargas was very dissatisfied with the result and therefore asked the Iron Four to give Vargas greater support.

"Although we failed to run for president, being successfully elected as the governor of Mizhou is a good result. We can make a comeback in the next presidential election, and we will have a greater chance of winning by then." The general manager of Iron Sijiao Company is still Fan Bao, Fan Bao.

Bao actually doesn't have much ambition and just wants to dig mining honestly.

Unfortunately, Brazil is currently unable to meet even this requirement.

"Fan, the trio came to power through a coup. Their ruling foundation is weak and internal divisions are serious. They don't even have relevant experience in governing. As long as we show strong competitiveness, we can overthrow the military rule of the trio. I can tell you

You promise that as long as I am elected as the president of Brazil, the Mizhou iron ore will always belong to the Iron Four Corners Company, and at the same time I will try my best to fight for more benefits for the Iron Four Corners Company." Vargas was unwilling to fail, and the establishment of the military government started in a bad way.

Head, anyone can come to power through a coup.

Fan Bao was having a fierce inner battle, and Fan Bao could not control other states, but in Mizhou, the status of the Iron Four Corners could not be shaken.

Iron Four Corners Company is backed by Nyasaland Company and Adang Company and is not a pure mineral resources enterprise.

Now in Mizhou, the coffee economy has been completely bankrupt. Former President Epitacio Pessoa was killed and the greedy Ernesto was hanged by the rebels on the streets of Belo Horizonte, the state capital. Last year

During the coup, forces loyal to the military government launched an attack on areas controlled by the Iron Four Corners Company, but were repelled by Umbrella Company mercenaries and the Michigan National Guard.

The Michigan National Guard is actually the militia formed by the state itself.

Although it is a militia, the Miguel National Guard has the same strength as the Brazilian National Defense Force. In 1931, Brazil had a population of about 35 million. Although Mizhou was not the largest in area, it was the most populous state, with a population of 2.9 million.

The proportions of whites, Africans, and mixed-race people are about the same.

Brazil has been colonized by Portugal for a long time. In addition to the Portuguese, there are also many German, Italian and Polish white people in the territory. The border is roughly bounded by Mizhou. To the north and west of Mizhou, most of the residents are African or Brazilian natives.

, the southern part of the state is dominated by white people.

In 1931, Brazil was not yet a BRICS country. In its early years, Brazil's economy was mainly based on the export of agricultural products. After the establishment of the Iron Four Corners Company, iron ore exports gradually became the main source of income for the Mi State government.

With money, you will naturally be able to form an army. All the equipment of the Michigan National Guard was purchased from Southern Africa through the Iron Four Corners Company.

Of course, the equipment of the Michigan National Guard cannot be compared with that of the National Guards of various states in southern Africa, or even the mercenaries of Brazil's Umbrella Company.

However, compared with the Brazilian Defense Force, which is poorly equipped, the equipment of the Miami National Guard is quite good.

There is nothing we can do about it. In the strategic reserve warehouse in southern Africa, even the oldest model of Lee Enfield will be considered an advanced weapon when it comes to the Americas.

The Nyasaland military industry also wants to sell the most advanced semi-automatic rifles to the Michigan National Guard, but unfortunately the state cannot afford it. The state has only been rich for a few days. In fact, even Lee Enfield cannot afford it. In the end, the state government

The transaction was completed using a loan from Rand Bank using the customs revenue of the state of Los Angeles as collateral.

What surprised Fan Bao was that the final price of the Lee Enfield purchased by the state capital of Michigan was actually about the same as a semi-automatic rifle.

This was once again the handiwork of Ernesto, the governor of the state at the time. God knows how many kickbacks Ernesto received from this arms purchase.

It's a pity that all this was over as Ernesto was hanged.

Although Ernesto was hanged, the Rand Bank loan still had to be repaid. Fortunately, the state of Michigan had a powerful National Guard, which gave Vargas more courage.

A military junta can come to power through a coup, why can't Vargas?

"Well, how do you need the Iron Four Corners to support you?" Fan Bao made up his mind. The military government was coveting the Mizhou iron ore, and the Iron Four Corners could not sit still and wait for death.

"I need more weapons, more troops, and I need the umbrella company to help train. As long as we have 50,000 troops from the state government in a short period of time, we can overthrow the military government." Vargas broke the boat and the Brazilian Defense Forces

There are only 200,000 people, and their equipment is backward, training is insufficient, military discipline is weak, and their combat capabilities are inferior to those of the French colonial servants.

Speaking of the combat effectiveness of the South American army, it might not even be as good as the Indian servant army. At least the Indian servant army followed the British Empire to fight in the north and south every day. However, there have been almost no large-scale wars in South America. Brazil’s 200,000 national defense troops are in South America.

They are already considered powerful.

"Where's the money? Where does the money come from?" Fan Bao was speechless. As long as Vargas could get the money, not to mention an army of 50,000, even half a million would be no problem.

But where does the money come from?

The state of Michigan has already credited the customs tax to Rand Bank. Judging from the current income, it will take at least 10 years to pay it off. What else can the state use as collateral now?

“Michelle State Government Revenue—” Vargas wasted his time.

In fact, it doesn’t count. The income of the state capital of Mizhou is not Vargas’s own income. This is essentially no different from Ernesto’s behavior.

The income of the state capital of Mizhou mainly comes from the iron ore export of the Iron Four Corners Company. Like the Najd Oil Company, when people in southern Africa eat meat, the Najd people always have to drink some soup.

Therefore, the Iron Four Corners Company exports iron ore, and the state government of Mizhou enjoys 10% of the revenue. Don’t underestimate this 10%. Last year, the revenue of the state government of Mizhou reached 1.5 million rand, and it is rising rapidly.

What should be noted here is that almost all the iron ore produced by Iron Sijiao Company is sold to Favalte Steel Group, and the price is relatively low.

If Iron Sijiao sells iron ore directly to U.S. steel companies, then this income will be directly doubled several times.

Of course Iron Square Company will definitely not do this. The transactions between Iron Square Company and Fawalt Steel Group are conducted through Nyasaland Company. Iron Square Company itself has no pricing power and sells iron ore to Fawalt.

The price is almost the same as the cost price. Although this behavior is a bit despicable, it is in line with the principles of free trade.

"Okay, I'll contact Rand Bank for you -" Fan Bao agreed to this plan. If Vargas was willing to die, Fan Bao would be willing to bury him.
