Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Roque's worries are not based on suspicion. When the Brazilian military government hoped that the United States would intervene in mediation, the United States not only did not restrain itself, but continued to send more troops to Rio. Now there are more than 10,000 U.S. Marines in Rio de Janeiro alone. The commander is participating

George Marshall in World War I.

George Marshall, American statesman, strategist, diplomat, five-star Army general, served as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army during World War II.

George Marshall was also a late bloomer. He had poor grades as a child and was often at the bottom of his class in exams. Later, George Marshall entered the Virginia Military Academy and graduated with eighth place honors. The next year, he received the rank of second lieutenant and was sent to

Serving in the Philippines.

At this time, George Marshall would have never imagined that he would stay at the rank of lieutenant for an unusually long time. Until 1916, the 36-year-old George Marshall was still a lieutenant. In this year, the World War broke out, and George Marshall

He went to Europe with Pershing to participate in the war. During the war, his military rank was promoted to temporary colonel. However, when the war ended, George Marshall's military rank was adjusted to captain. By this time, he had been a lieutenant for 18 years.

In 1921, Pershing became the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. As Pershing's chief assistant, George Marshall was promoted to lieutenant colonel. After that, George Marshall served in field troops, colonies, and army schools. When the Brazilian Civil War broke out, George Marshall

· Marshall served as the commander of the Illinois National Guard Division and had just left for Brazil a week ago. At this time, George Marshall's military rank was finally adjusted to brigadier general.

A brigadier general is the lowest-ranking general, but he is still a general. Among the American soldiers in Brazil, George Marshall has the highest rank, so George Marshall naturally becomes the commander of the US military in Rio.

Although Henry and Morgan Jr. reached a share swap agreement, the increase in U.S. troops still made Rock wary.

Based on Rock's understanding of Americans, Americans will not give up so easily.

The same applies to Southern Africa. If the United States causes trouble in the countries surrounding Southern Africa, Southern Africa will also expel Americans from Africa at all costs.

So Roque can talk, but the front line still has to fight, and the fight has to be harder and more painful, so that it is possible to force the Americans to the negotiating table.

Considering that the Americans continued to increase their troops, Roque had to respond and dispatch more troops to Brazil to provide greater support to the Michigan government.

Just as Rock was strategizing, another group of Alliance troops boarded the cruise ship in Luanda and prepared to go to Victoria.

Different from the previous alliance troops, the proportion of whites and Orientals in the alliance troops who boarded the ship this time was significantly higher. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was not an alliance force at all. It might be the Southern African Defense Forces who had put on alliance uniforms.

.

As we all know, after the World War, most of the troops in Southern Africa were abolished, leaving only two ace troops, the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division. These two troops were all composed of southern Africans, not just a few.

African.

It can be seen that the federal government attaches great importance to this expedition. Undersecretary of Defense An Qi came to the dock to see off the troops. The troops were led by Colonel Qin Ling, who also participated in the World War.

Compared with George Marshall, Qin Ling's resume is even more legendary. He only came to Southern Africa in 1907. After graduating from high school, he worked for the Umbrella Company. After the outbreak of the World War, he went to Europe as a sniper with the Second Division of the Southern African Cavalry.

Participated in the war, with more than 350 confirmed effective results, and was one of the many unknown "gods of death" in the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

After the end of the world war, Qin Ling was transferred to the Nyasaland Army Academy as a sniper instructor. During this period, Qin Ling participated in training courses for intermediate officers and senior officers, and was transferred to serve in Port Elizabeth and Halifax. Now Qin Ling has

Become one of the best young officers in the Southern African Defense Forces.

Qin Ling is only 35 years old now, which is indeed young for a senior military officer. George Marshall was already in his fifties before he became a brigadier general. Qin Ling is estimated to be able to become a general before he is forty years old.

Maybe after returning from Brazil, Qin Ling can directly become a general.

"This is the first time that our Southern African National Defense Force has gone abroad to participate in the war after the World War. We must show our military might!" An Qi has high expectations for Qinling. Now in Southern Africa, the old army headed by Hopkins

The entire generation of colonial soldiers have all retired, and Rock and Anton are gradually relegating themselves to the second line. When the next world war breaks out, soldiers of this generation like An Qi and Qin Ling will become the backbone of the southern African military.

"I understand, don't worry, General, I will definitely teach the Yankees a profound lesson." Qinling is unsmiling. Strategically, he despises the enemy, but tactically, he values ​​the enemy. This is the motto of the Nyasaland Army Academy.

Just next to An Qi and Qin Ling, the officers and soldiers of the Pretoria Rifles Regiment under the Northern Rhodesian Division were lining up to board the troop carrier. This was a luxury cruise ship from a South African company. Although the Northern Rhodesian Division was Rock

It was founded by Xiao Si himself, but Xiao Si has always regarded it as a disciple soldier. When the disciple soldiers go out to fight, Xiao Si also attaches great importance to it.

This time the Pretoria Rifles also faced many difficulties.

After all, they are going out in the name of the Alliance Force. Compared with the Southern African Defense Force, there is still a gap in the equipment of the Alliance Force, especially in terms of firepower configuration. After the Pretoria Rifles Regiment arrives in Brazil, it is estimated that it will take some time to adapt to the situation in Brazil.

Fight without superior firepower.

The two ace troops in southern Africa have been equipped with light machine guns at the squad level. On average, each squad has one light machine gun, one sniper, and one rifleman equipped with a "Super Revolver" grenade launcher.

The Alliance forces are much worse. Machine guns are only equipped to the platoon level, and the number of heavy firepower such as mortars is much less than that of the Wehrmacht. Not to mention that the Wehrmacht has tanks and helicopters to cooperate with its operations.

You can call for fire support at any time, these conditions are not available in Brazil.

Of course, Qinling is certainly true. Having firepower superiority means having firepower superiority. Without firepower superiority, it will test the individual quality of officers and soldiers. You cannot fight without firepower superiority.

Roque sent the National Defense Force to participate in the war, probably with the intention of testing the National Defense Force.

One thing must be explained. The Southern African troops have always fought with absolutely superior firepower. Even during the World War, the firepower of the Southern African Expeditionary Force still had an advantage against the German army.

This time the situation is different. Southern Africa and the United States are both the two countries with the most powerful industrial capabilities in the world. Southern Africa is used to fighting under superior firepower, and the same is true for the US military. The forces of these two countries collided directly in Brazil.

It is far-reaching and may have an impact on the future military building ideas of armies around the world.

"Go ahead, remember to be cautious, but you must also take the initiative when you find an opportunity. The combat effectiveness of the army cannot be obtained by relying on training." An Qi gave Qinling enough initiative to prevent the foreign emperor's orders from being ignored.

, even if communications are now very developed, the distance between Pretoria and Victoria is really too far.

Qin Ling didn't say anything, saluted An Qi with a straight military salute, and got on the boat directly.

There were no salutes and champagne, and there were no citizens to see off the troops. The 1,800 officers and soldiers of the Pretoria Rifles went on a low-key expedition. Only a few people knew that the Southern African Defense Forces had officially joined the war.

The conditions of the "Ziweihua" cruise ship are indeed worthy of the standards of luxury cruise ships. Even the most ordinary guest rooms are above ordinary standards.

As the top commander, Qin Ling checked into the presidential suite on the top floor of the "Ladder". After boarding the ship, Qin Ling convened a meeting of officers. From this moment on, Qin Ling has become the top commander of the Southern African Army in Brazil.

The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company, as well as the Mizhou Army, also have to accept Qinling's command.

"The situation is not good. We are on the front line in Mizhou. We are currently at an advantage. The Mizhou Army has surrounded Rio de Janeiro, but in Victoria, the battle is still in an anxious state." Nelson Terry, Qinling's chief of staff, is of German descent. He is a very traditional German.

He has the advantages of seriousness and caution of the Germans, but the disadvantage is that he is a bit rule-abiding, which is a major flaw for senior commanders.

Commanders need unconstrained thinking in order to deliver unexpected blows to the enemy on the battlefield.

To put it another way, following the rules is dogmatism. Every move you make is something that people can follow, and it will not achieve the effect of winning by righteousness and surprise.

"What is the military observation group doing? This is enough to deal with government troops, but it is not enough to deal with Americans." Qinling had done enough homework before setting off. Augusto was an experienced mercenary, but he lacked a commanding general.

Corps combat experience.

"Rio de Janeiro is a coastal city, and the Mizhou Army does not even have a navy. How can it surround Rio de Janeiro?" Qinling was also dissatisfied with the performance of the military observation group. Southern Africa has been experiencing peace for a long time, and the military observation group also lacks experience.

"Victoria is also a coastal city. The government forces and the U.S. Marine Corps have strong fire support from battleships. What is the point of holding on to the city besides increasing the number of casualties? Telegraph ordered all Victoria defenders to evacuate, leaving Victoria to the Americans and government forces.

, leading the Americans and government troops to the inland areas to encircle and annihilate them." Qinling launched a deadly attack as soon as it came up. On the premise that the Americans and government troops have maritime superiority, it is unwise to engage in street fighting with the Americans and government troops.

Fighting against the Americans and government troops in coastal cities, the Americans and government troops can retreat calmly even if the battle is unfavorable.

Fighting inland is different. Brazil's infrastructure is poor, and American battleships can never go ashore. Without the maritime advantage, it is not difficult to defeat the combination of the U.S. Marine Corps and the Brazilian government forces.
