Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 969 Brazil
The most indispensable thing in this world is war. The war in Europe has just subsided, and the war in South America is still raging.
Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and other countries simultaneously declared war on Brazil and launched attacks.
In later generations, Brazil ranked fifth in the world in terms of population and land area, but its military strength was not that impressive. A country with a population of 200 million has an army of less than 200,000. It has 437 main battle tanks, which seems to be a lot, but these are second-generation main battle tanks such as "Leopard" 1A1, "Leopard" 1A5, and M60A3TTS. There is not even a third-generation main battle tank in the entire army. The Army's level is average, and the Navy and Air Force are not much better.
However, Brazil's armed forces are so weak. In addition to its own economic situation, it also has a lot to do with geography. As the largest country in South America, Brazil's overall strength is not comparable to that of the other two countries among the "ABC Three Countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile)". In addition, South America's geographical location is too remote (North America is at least separated from Asia). (across the Bering Strait), Brazil can be said to be quite isolated, and the possibility of facing external aggression is very low. At the same time, Brazil is unlikely to invade other countries, so maintaining a large-scale armed force is completely unnecessary. The main reason is that South America is the back garden of the United States. The United States will not allow situations that threaten it, whether economically or militarily, to occur in its own back garden.
At this time, Brazil's population was less than 50 million, and the weapons equipped by the small army were quite backward. Many of them were old-fashioned weapons from the First World War, and the few dozen fighter jets were also old-fashioned biplanes. Even the not very advanced BF109 early models equipped by several countries such as Argentina can completely defeat them.
In less than half a day, the Brazilian army lost air superiority on all battlefields.
The Jackal tanks on the ground were running rampant on the Pakistani defense line as if they were in no man's land. The Pakistani army was unable to fight back and was retreating steadily.
In the presidential palace in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, Brazilian President Getulio Vargas was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Vargas failed to run for president in 1930 as a candidate of the Libertarian Alliance, and then launched a coup with the support of the military "weiguan faction" to overthrow the representative latifundia (Latin American latifundia was the land tenure system in Latin America since the colonial period). The main form. A military autocratic government characterized by large landowners occupying large amounts of land) and the interests of the big bourgeoisie, served as the president of the provisional government. From 1930 to 1945, he ruled Brazil with an iron fist for 15 years.
Although he is a dictator, Vargas is a politician full of contradictions. On the one hand, he was strongly anti-communist, banning the Brazilian Party and putting its leaders in jail. On the other hand, he also focused on protecting the interests of workers, and stipulated in the constitution the minimum wage for workers, an eight-hour working day, recognition of trade unions, paid vacations, prohibition of child labor, and the prohibition of employers from dismissing workers without reason.
During his tenure, he actively established the foundation of Brazil's modern industry, such as the famous iron ore mines of Vale, the Brazilian National Steel Company, and some large hydropower stations. Adopting the policy of giving priority to the development of national industry and agricultural economic diversification, the number of newly built industrial enterprises in Brazil in the 1930s nearly tripled that of the previous 10 years. He also paid attention to the protection and development of national resources, put forward the slogan "March to the West", promoted education reform, and implemented social insurance.
In the early days of World War II in the original time and space, the Vargas government held a neutral attitude; in the later period, it sided with the Allies and declared war on Germany and Italy.
But now, facing the attacks from the three countries of Brother, Venezuela, and As, he was helpless. He originally planned to ask the United States for help, but the United States was already like a mud Buddha crossing the river and could not save itself. How could it possibly care about him.
"These damn Germans!" President Vargas cursed angrily. Although it is Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina and other neighboring countries that are attacking them on the surface, it is not the Germans who are instigating these guys. Just because Brazil refuses to surrender to Germany, the hateful Germans resort to such despicable tactics. s method.
Just as he was cursing, the secretary sent another telegram requesting help from the front line. Even he didn't know how many telegrams it was.
In desperation, President Vargas called the Minister of Defense and others to hold an emergency meeting.
"Everyone, can't we stop the enemy's offensive?"
"..." Everyone's faces were filled with helplessness and pessimism.
The Minister of Defense said slowly with a bitter look on his face. "Mr. President, they are equipped with German weapons. Our weapons are no match for us." During World War I, Brazil joined the Allied Powers and declared war on the Central Powers. At that time, other Allied Powers, the United Kingdom and the United States, supported Brazil with many weapons. These weapons are still in use today.
On the other hand, most of the German weapons were developed on the eve of World War II, and their sophistication is not at the same level. "Even if we can really withstand the attacks of these three countries, maybe the Germans will end up personally next time." The combat effectiveness of the German army is obvious to all the world, and even the most arrogant guy will not think that he can defeat the German army. "We will be annihilated by then." Maybe the three countries of Brother, Venezuela, and A will be able to annihilate them before the Germans come to an end.
President Vargas is a little desperate. "Then what should we do?"
you still need to ask? Of course he surrendered to the Germans. "Only the Germans can make them stop attacking." Since these countries are under the command of Germany, they can only ask Germany to surrender.
President Vargas sighed with great melancholy. If he had known this, he would have surrendered obediently. Now that we have to surrender to the Germans, we don’t know what excessive conditions the Germans will put forward. Maybe the Germans just took a fancy to their mineral resources.
Brazil is rich in natural resources. Vale is the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter and the largest mining company in the American continent. It is known as Brazil's "Crown Jewel" and "The Engine of the Amazon." In addition, the reserves of dozens of minerals such as niobium, manganese, titanium, bauxite, lead, tin, and uranium are among the highest in the world.
"Then contact them." No matter what conditions the Germans put forward, it is better than being destroyed.
Soon they contacted Berlin through the embassy of neutral countries.
Yannick laughed after receiving the news. "Are these guys confused? They are fighting in South America and want to negotiate with us? Tell them that it is their own business in South America and we cannot interfere. But if they want to buy advanced weapons, we can also sell them give them."
