At the request of the Brazilian military government, the United States sent a team of about fifty officers to Brazil to assist the Brazilian military government in training its troops and guide the Brazilian military government in its operations.

Among the U.S. military advisers who came to Victoria with the Brazilian military government fleet this time, Colonel Harrison had the highest military rank. After the first day's attack was frustrated, the U.S. military advisers gathered in Colonel Harrison's room for a meeting to summarize the first day's battle.

, and by the way, study how to conduct the next phase of the war.

I have to say that Brazilians still enjoy it. The warship space is limited, and even the captain has difficulty in having a spacious private space. Colonel Harrison has a suite with a living room and a conference room, and the president lives directly on the warship.

Suite feel.

And this is not the most excessive thing. It is said that the room where Barreto lived was more spacious and more luxuriously decorated than the room where Colonel Harrison lived.

It is indeed luxurious, with handmade carpets, crystal wine glasses, South American-style oil paintings hanging on the walls, and gold edges on the armrests and backrests of the chairs.

Colonel Harrison shook his head and focused on the ongoing meeting, thinking about how to break through the defense of the Michigan National Guard.

"The Michigan National Guard is equipped with too many automatic weapons, the machine gun shooters are well-trained, and the troops have orders and prohibitions. The key is that we don't know how many enemies there are." Major Tom from Wisconsin lamented the combat effectiveness displayed by the Michigan National Guard.

, actually no less than the US military, which has to be surprising.

"The intelligence we have received shows that the Michigan National Guard is also equipped with an unknown number of tanks. In today's battle, the tanks equipped by the Michigan National Guard did not participate in the battle, which shows that the Michigan National Guard still has spare capacity in today's battle.

." Lieutenant Colonel Simmons from Georgia looked worried, no less worried than... Haha, this is a more subtle statement.

Those who are qualified to come to Brazil to serve as instructors are either veterans who have participated in world wars, or good prospects who have emerged in the US military in recent years, the so-called young men with a bright future.

Since they are all professionals, they have a good understanding of the military.

Judging from the performance of the Michigan National Guard in today's battle, it was no less than that of the US military. Even if the offensive force was replaced by US troops, they would probably be beaten to death under the tightly defended Victoria City.

"Since the use of naval guns is restricted, can we send aircraft to participate in the war?" A positive suggestion from Carlisle, Florida, is that aircraft bombs are no less powerful than large-caliber naval guns and are more accurate.

After the World War, aircraft developed rapidly. The American Grumman Company conducted research on the basis of the "Strong Wind" fighter and successfully developed the "Cerberus" fighter for deployment. At this point, the U.S. Air Force has fully entered the monoplane era.

In the arms purchase contract between the Brazilian military government and the United States, more than 100 aircraft including 40 "Cerberus" fighter jets were included. In order to better test the performance of the "Cerberus", these "Cerberus" were purchased by the Brazilian military government.

The hired American pilots, including the ground crew, are all composed of Americans. Brazilians cannot even get close to these planes without the permission of Americans.

The performance of "Cerberus" is pretty good, and its overall performance is similar to the improved "Strong Wind" used in southern Africa at the end of the World War.

However, Southern Africa has now installed a new generation of "Tornado" fighter jets, and the "Tornado" has been retired as a whole. Therefore, if possible, American consultants also hope to understand the "Cerberus" and the "Tornado" newly equipped in Southern Africa.

How much difference.

Unfortunately, it seems that the aircraft ordered by the state government from Southern Africa do not include Tornado fighter jets.

"If you want to use airplanes, you need to land and build an airport." Tom discussed seriously. The degree of development near Victoria Harbor is relatively high. If you want to build an airport, many places are suitable.

"We'd better land as soon as possible and establish a formal forward base. It's really uncomfortable to stay on the ship for a long time. I feel breathless." Steven, who was sitting in the corner, had a painful expression. He was seasick.

"You deserve it, you landlubber" Tom has a good relationship with Steven, but he is not only unsympathetic but also adds insult to injury.

"Fuck!" Steven weakly raised his middle finger in the direction of Tom. I don't know if it was because Steven's eyes were bad or if he was doing it on purpose. It was more like he was aiming at Colonel Harrison.

"Okay, gentlemen, the issue we are discussing now is how to break through the defense of the Michigan National Guard." Colonel Harrison was not in the mood to correct his men's rude behavior, and was more concerned about whether the advisory group could come up with the correct response.

The officers who were enthusiastic just now immediately shut up.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no chance of counting on the troops of the Brazilian military government to break through the defense of the Miami National Guard.

"We first need to find out how many troops there are in the Miami National Guard in Victoria Harbor." Colonel Harrison's head was as big as a bucket. The intelligence work of the Brazilian military government was not good, and there was a serious lack of understanding of the Victoria and Michigan National Guards.

"It should not exceed 5,000 people." Tom concluded first, and then explained the reason: "The information we have received shows that the total strength of the Michigan National Guard before the war begins will not exceed 60,000 people. Considering that the main direction of the attack is Rio,

We must also consider other directions, and the number of troops defending Victoria will not exceed 5,000."

"After the war broke out, Mizhou conducted a state-wide mobilization, and now the number of troops has increased to 100,000, nearly half of whom were trained in Belo Horizonte." Simmons looked serious. If the Brazilian military junta cannot mobilize within six months,

If the war ends, the pressure on the Brazilian military government will increase.

It doesn't even take six months. If the training intensity scale is larger, the strength of the Michigan National Guard may be doubled in three months.

"The area of ​​Victoria Harbor is not large. We can send a force to go back to the rear of Victoria Harbor and cut off the supply line of the Michigan National Guard." Carlisle entered the state. Victoria Harbor is located in the southwest of Victoria Island and is connected to the mainland by two bridges.

One of the bridges connects the Port of Kitchener.

"It's useless. The Umbrella Company claims that the bridge connecting Victoria Harbor and Kitchina Port belongs to the Umbrella Company. If the bridge cannot be blown up, then there is no point in sending troops to make a detour." Tom looked at the map and had a headache. The Southern African

As expected, they are the same as the British. What they are best at is mixing sand into the sand and holding them back.

"Then blow it up. As long as we don't leave Umbrella Company with anything to do, we'll occupy Victoria first." Tom was decisive in his attack. Umbrella Company had enough deterrent power against the Brazilian military government, but it wasn't enough in front of American advisers.

No matter how tyrannical the umbrella is, it is just a commercial company. In the eyes of the US government, it cannot be on the stage and can only engage in small actions under the stage.

Of course, the U.S. government will not regard the Umbrella Company as an enemy unless it has to. After all, the Umbrella Company is based in Southern Africa, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog.

Now it is a last resort.

Under the current situation, if the restrictions imposed by the umbrella company on the Brazilian military government cannot be stripped away, the longer the fighting drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the Brazilian military government. This will affect not only the Brazilian military government, but also the image of the United States.

Dignified American Advisory Group

That's it?

"Tom, go talk to General Barreto." Colonel Harrison was so cunning that he didn't let Tom talk to him, so there was room for relaxation if something went wrong.

At most, after the war is over, the U.S. government will spend money to help Umbrella Company build a bridge.

"Okay" Tom held his breath, this was the rhythm that made him take the blame.

While the U.S. advisory group was meeting overnight, 1,700 kilometers away in Natal, a U.S. fleet was cutting through the waves toward Rio de Janeiro.

This is a huge fleet. The flagship is the battleship "Maryland", one of the G7, and the commander of the fleet is Ernest Joseph King, the captain of the aircraft carrier "Lexington".

Ernest King was born in Greene, Ohio, in 1878. He graduated from the Annapolis Naval Academy in 1901. During the World War, he served as destroyer captain, destroyer squadron leader, and assistant chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet. After the war, he served as

Served as submarine squad leader and submarine base commander.

The fleet led by Ernest King consisted of ten ships. In addition to the battleship "Maryland" and the aircraft carrier "Lexington", it also included two cruisers, two destroyers, a supply ship, and

Three transport ships.

Looking at the huge fleet, Ernest King was very proud. His mission for this trip was to visit Rio de Janeiro and escort three 10,000-ton transport ships. All the cargo on these transport ships was ordered by the Brazilian military government from the United States.

of various supplies.

"Sir, we have received a wireless telegram from the Brazilian Navy," the first mate reported to Ernest King with a frown.

"Read it!" Ernest King said with a relaxed expression.

"The Brazilian Navy asked us to adjust our course 15 degrees eastward to avoid collision." The first mate looked confused.

"What?" Ernest King couldn't believe it.

"The Brazilian Navy asked us to adjust our course 20 degrees eastward to avoid collision." The first mate spoke clearly, and Ernest King was sure he heard correctly.

"Ask them to adjust 20 degrees to the west and tell them we are the U.S. Navy!" Ernest King was instantly furious.

The first mate turned to send a telegram and came back after a while: "The Brazilian Navy insists that we change course."

"Tell the damn Brazilians that this is the US Navy's fleet consisting of the USS Lexington and the battleship USS Maryland. We also have two cruisers and two destroyers. Ask the Brazilians who wants to change the course.

!" Ernest King was furious. Does the U.S. Navy need to give way to other navies in American waters?

It’s funny!

Soon the first mate came back again. This time the first mate had a strange expression: "Sir, the other party is the lighthouse of the Brazilian Navy."

Well

I never expected this answer.
