Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The road leaving the train station was not smooth. Walking along the railway track, the scenery is of course very good. There are original tropical rainforests on both sides of the railway. At a glance, everything within sight is eye-catching green. Between the trees

There are birds singing, monkeys jumping in the forest, and occasionally pink freshwater dolphins jumping out of the water in the river. This is the largest freshwater dolphin in the world and only lives in the Amazon basin of South America.

"Be careful when you encounter rivers. There are not only pink freshwater dolphins in the water, but also piranhas, caiman, and the most dangerous anaconda in the world. This is why we never camp in the wild-" Captain Costa

While walking and chatting with Lieutenant Lynch, I realized that the Amazon at night is indeed very dangerous, comparable to that of southern Africa 30 years ago.

The key is that it is sparsely populated. 35 million people sounds like a lot, but it is still a bit small when thrown into 8.5 million square kilometers. Moreover, most Brazilians live in densely populated coastal cities. The further inland the more desolate the area becomes, and many places are inaccessible.

of primeval forest.

This is also the dilemma that Brazil is facing now. It has abundant natural resources but is unable to develop them. It has neither money nor technology. It can only rely on foreign capital to develop Brazilian resources. However, most of the profits are lost to foreign countries.

If the capital is taken away, the Brazilian government will get very little.

"Since the Mizhou Army can survive in the wild, we can do the same." Second Lieutenant Lynch is confident that camping in the wild is also commonplace for the U.S. Marine Corps.

The training of the U.S. Marine Corps may not be as rigorous as that of the Southern African Defense Forces, but it is certainly much better than that of the Brazilian government forces.

Although the US military's performance in the world war was poor, this was not the case in the US government's propaganda.

What Americans are best at is telling lies with their eyes open, and the unscrupulous media in the United States also tell lies. In the propaganda of the American media, the participation of the U.S. military in the war was a key factor in the Allies winning the world war. Even the U.S. military's capture of the Liege Fortress became a global phenomenon.

At the turning point of the war, it can be said that if the US military did not participate in the war, the Allies would not even be able to win the final victory.

With this description, the United States becomes Europe's savior.

So this is where Americans’ confidence comes from.

Lynch believed deeply in the propaganda of the U.S. government. He was proud of his American identity and even more proud of being a member of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Lynch did not realize that the U.S. government's propaganda was self-contradictory.

Since the United States is the savior of Europe, why does the Southern African Expeditionary Force have the myth of "invincibility"?

Since the whole of Europe is grateful for the rescue of the United States, why did the United States not even join the League of Nations after the end of the World War?

Even if Lynch was aware of these problems, he probably would not pay enough attention to the Mizhou Army.

After all, the Mizhou Army and the Southern African Army are two different things. In the eyes of the U.S. Marine Corps, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are just hateful war hyenas. Even though those war hyenas have taught the U.S. Marine Corps enough lessons in Victoria,

But there are still many people who disagree with this.

Otherwise, why would there be such a saying as “I won’t shed tears until I see the coffin”.

"Actually, it's faster and safer for us to take patrol boats." Captain Costa couldn't help complaining. After George Marshall came to Brazil, he directly took away the command of the Brazilian Navy. The patrol boats of the military government also belonged to George Marshall.

Marshall conducts.

"No, no, no, riding a patrol boat is the most dangerous. On the wide river, if the enemy launches an attack, we have no way to avoid it." Second Lieutenant Lynch doesn't want to take a boat. If he is attacked on land, he can still find a bunker to launch an attack.

Counterattack, if you are attacked on the river, should you jump off the ship?

Don’t forget what Costa just said, there are piranhas, crocodiles, and special anacondas and green anacondas in Brazilian rivers——

Lieutenant Lynch did not want to face any of the above.

Moreover, if Lynch leads his troops to advance along the railway, the railway will become a natural bunker for the troops.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, the railway is the property of the Iron Four Corners Company, so if the Mizhou Army launches an attack on the troops led by Lynch, they cannot use certain relatively lethal heavy weapons to avoid causing damage to the railway.

At this time, the Marine Corps and the government troops could let go. Anyway, even if the railway was damaged, it would be blamed on the Mizhou Army. Even if the Iron Four Corners wanted to claim compensation, the Marine Corps and government troops could not be blamed.

The only thing that made Lynch depressed was that the troops were advancing too slowly.

The trains had all been taken away by Iron Square. Costa tried his best to find only a few donkeys, and more supplies needed to be carried by civilians.

Under normal circumstances, when soldiers leave the camp to fight, they must carry at least three days' worth of supplies with them.

The U.S. Marine Corps is better equipped and needs to carry more supplies. Even so, the equipment carried by each Marine weighs more than 40 kilograms.

This is a long journey, and you have to carry supplies weighing more than 40 kilograms. Who knows how it feels.

The U.S. Marine Corps is fairly well-trained, and at least the members look okay.

The performance of the soldiers of the Brazilian government army was a bit worse. Less than an hour after leaving the train station, some government soldiers were injured and left behind. Some were bitten by poisonous snakes, some had sprained feet, and some even broke their feet when falling on the ground.

The collarbone is simply horrible.

"We need to take a rest." Captain Costa had no choice. The injured soldiers had to be sent back to Victoria for treatment. On average, it took two people to send one person back. It took less than an hour, and the resulting combat attrition had already exceeded one hundred.

Man, if this continues, all the soldiers will be gone.

"Your men are too useless. Can't the training be stricter?" Lin Qi was really curious. It doesn't matter that the military government is relatively bad. The three-man group is all soldiers. It's amazing that the army can be so bad. No wonder

Can't beat the Mizhou people.

"Training also requires funds. When the war does not break out, the troops cannot even conduct live-fire training once a month." Costa is also very wronged. This matter is not something he can decide.

Before Lynch could speak, gunshots suddenly came from the front.

Lynch and Costa immediately jumped off the tracks and took cover.

There was no subsequent gunfire, and it was probably a sporadic attack by the Mizhou Army.

"We were attacked by snipers from the Michigan Army. One soldier was injured and needed to be sent back to Victoria for treatment." Soon a soldier came over to report.

"Shet——" Lynch knew that this was the case. If the war hyenas didn't cause some trouble, they wouldn't be dogs.

"Order the troops to be in combat formation and continue to advance." Lynch asked the troops to continue to advance.

"No, we should ask for support." Costa had a vague feeling that the situation during the offensive and defensive battles in Victoria was too similar.

This was the case when the government troops attacked Victoria some time ago. The endless harassment by the Mizhou Army caused the attacking government troops to be exhausted. The snipers of the Mizhou Army have now appeared, so I am afraid that grenades, bombs, and artillery shells will follow.

will appear one after another, and the railway cannot provide sufficient protection to the Marines and government soldiers.

"We haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy, how can we ask for support? Send someone back to Victoria to report, and then say that we were forced to abort the mission because a soldier was injured?" Lynch was aggressive. This attitude is unacceptable.

"Then we can't move forward without understanding the situation. Who can guarantee that there is only one sniper in front, not an entire army?" Costa is very worried, what if there is an entire army waiting in front?

People like Costa and Lynch just deliver food.

"That's why we continue to advance in combat formation." Lynch insisted that if we encountered an entire army, it would not be too late to withdraw.

Then keep going.

However, what made Costa very dissatisfied was that Lynch, who insisted on continuing to advance, sent Costa's troops in front and Lynch's men followed. This was clearly forcing Costa's men to die.

Although he was dissatisfied, Costa did not dare to resist Lynch's order. Even though Costa was a captain and Lynch was a second lieutenant, in Brazil, even a Brazilian general must give enough respect to an American soldier.

This is probably the Brazilian version of "giving foreign adults a face."

As the troops continued to advance, attacks indeed followed.

The Mizhou Army was not tied up in protecting the property of Iron Sijiao Company as Lynch imagined.

While the troops were searching and advancing, a soldier suddenly triggered a landmine, and not just one. About three or four landmines exploded at the same time. Steel balls carried fragments and gravel flying. 11 soldiers died on the spot and 17 soldiers were injured, including

Including two U.S. Marines.

Looking at the twisted railway tracks and listening to the screams of the wounded, Lynch finally fell silent.

The railroad tracks were blown up like this. Even if Lynch found the locomotive, the railroad would be unusable.

There is no point in moving forward in this situation.

"Retreat, return to Victoria -" Lynch finally gave the order to retreat.

Looking at the slowly retreating Marine Corps and government troops, Sun Meng, who was using a telescope to observe, had a look of regret on his face.

"Who's to blame? Who asked you to lay so many landmines? It's better now, just scare people away -" Rex also felt regretful.

"I didn't expect that the Marine Corps would be so careless -" Sun Meng did use too much force. Now he thought about it, it might be more effective to directly design an encirclement.

But this is not bad. The Americans have already begun to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Belo Horizonte, so the dispatch of large forces is not far away. There will always be a battle.

"Do you want to catch up?" Rex seemed to see Lant waving. Those Marines and government soldiers were all money to Rex.

ps: I get up at four o'clock every morning to code, and I'm scolded like a dog for two chapters. Is it possible that my conscience has been eaten by a dog!!!
