1 Thirty Chapters, South America

USA, Washington, White House, Oval Office

The Oval Office was full of people, filled with smog. Since the two bad news of South Africa’s defection from the alliance and the South American Incident broke out, various emergency meetings have been held from the Pentagon to the White House and then to Capitol Hill, but they still cannot come up with a plan. An effective countermeasure is to get together and smoke cigarettes.

President Truman had a cigar in his hand, smoke rings from his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mind was full of worries.

The current war situation is really too bad for the United States!It has to be described with the level of nightmare or purgatory!
Last week, the "South African Community" led by the Federation of South Africa was formally established and issued an ultimatum to Eisenhower, who was trapped in the port of Mombasa in East Africa, ordering him to leave the coast of the Indian Ocean. An important prerequisite for the peace treaty.

In view of the fact that the logistics supply lines and material storage points of the 30 US and British allied forces are all under the control of the South African authorities, and since a few months ago, the South African side has consciously restricted the delivery of materials to Eisenhower. The army could not save much supplies.

As a result, when the generals in the Pentagon tried to ask Eisenhower whether he was sure of returning to South Africa and forcing the South African authorities to "get back on the right track" by force, Eisenhower sent a telegram replying with a wry smile: First, he has no resources at hand. The 30 troops turned around from Mombasa to kill the transport ships going to South Africa, and if they went by land, the straight-line distance would be as long as [-] kilometers. In the wild and backward African continent, his troops would definitely collapse halfway; , the artillery, tanks and other heavy equipment of the East African Allied Forces have long been lost in repeated defeats, and have not been replenished since then. The current level of firepower is similar to that of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the Long March era. In the face-to-face contest , is no match for any modern army; thirdly, there is only enough ammunition to last a campaign, food for a month, gasoline for two weeks at full capacity, trucks, mules and horses are scarce, and once If South Africa defected, his troops would be cut off from the supply line, and even if they wanted to rob, there would be nowhere to rob in Africa.

What's more terrible is that even within the 30 East African Allied Forces under Eisenhower, there are many different voices.Many British troops were demoralized by repeated defeats. They no longer wanted to fight for the Queen and Churchill. Instead, they took over the olive branch from the South African authorities and planned to take advantage of the special relationship between the Anglo-Saxons. Become a South African citizen, and bid farewell to the suffering of war and fleeing. In order to suppress the large number of disobedient black South Africans, the South African authorities are extremely eager for white immigrants from all over the world and are willing to give them very high treatment.In order to pry the corner of the United States, the Soviet Union generously promised that after the armistice and peace talks, it would completely open the immigration channel for white Europeans to South Africa...

Now, more than 30 British troops have publicly refused to obey General Eisenhower's orders, and even robbed arsenals, collected ammunition, and built fortifications in camps to confront the U.S. troops.If the situation continues to develop, even General Eisenhower has no idea what will happen next. In other words, if the Pentagon insists on using force to solve the South African rebellion, it cannot send a big vote to Eisenhower who is trapped in the port of Mombasa. For reinforcements, the [-] American and British allied troops stationed in the Port of Mombasa will have to break out an internal strife first... Whether it is for Eisenhower, who is out of ammunition and food and is alone behind the enemy, or for the Pentagon, which is extremely short of veterans. Said, this is the unbearable weight of life.

Therefore, at the previous meeting, after repeated weighing, the White House and the Pentagon had initially reached a consensus on agreeing to abandon Africa—when the US military was forced to withdraw from East Africa and southern Africa turned against the enemy, Eisenhower would definitely not be able to stand in West Africa Feet: The Soviets have continued to send strategic long-range bombers from bases in North Africa across the Sahara Desert, destroying ports and cities in West Africa in an orderly manner with an average rate of nuclear explosions of two to three atomic bombs per week.After such a few months, the port cities built in the colonial era have been almost destroyed.The remaining white expatriates from various countries were forced to move to the forest, took off their pants and joined the blacks as savages carrying spears to hunt!Where should the US troops in East Africa under Eisenhower be stationed after they withdraw there?You can't stay in the ruins of a nuclear explosion and wait for radiation sickness!

Moreover, with the successive defections of South Africa and South America, the command of the Atlantic Ocean is about to change hands completely. If you want to maintain a sea supply line from the mainland of the United States to the ports in West Africa, under the joint strangulation of the Soviet and Japanese navies, it will become difficult. Extremely difficult and unaffordably expensive.

More importantly, what is the use of maintaining such an army even in West Africa?Judging from the current situation, the Soviet Red Army has no plans to march south across the Sahara Desert at all, and obviously intends to use the indiscriminate bombing of atomic bombs to solve the problem.Eisenhower could only suffer a nuclear explosion if he stayed there.Instead of this, it is better to withdraw your fist for the time being and keep this proven strategic mobile corps for other use.

However, the United States of America can still hold its nose and barely make a large concession in Africa, but in South America, there is no way to retreat!
——Since the South American situation broke out, the Pentagon has frantically assembled its forces, preparing to go south to suppress and overthrow these thorns by force.

It's a pity that one step is slow, and every step is slow. While the United States of America is in a hurry to deploy troops everywhere, Peru, Chile, and Argentina have silently cleaned up the pro-American forces in the country and stabilized their respective regimes—because Advocating that all people tighten their belts and sell their kidneys to aid the United States, and conscript millions of soldiers overseas to be used as cannon fodder for nuclear bombs. Today's pro-American forces are extremely unpopular among the South American people, and they are almost as good as everyone shouting.Even the military is generally hostile to the pro-American main war regime: they are more willing to expand the territory of the motherland than to bury their bones overseas and serve the Americans without honor.In the past, it was all relying on the ruling position to support it firmly. Now, once it is knocked down, there are almost no supporters in the country, so it can only choose to die.

Half a month after the incident broke out, not only the discoloration of Peru, Chile, and Argentina was irreversible, but even the two small countries north of Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, were drawn over by anti-war and anti-American sentiments. ——In order to expel the influence of the United States infiltrating South America and establish Argentina’s dominance in South America, the famous Argentine rose, the wife of President Evita Peron, went around everywhere, formed cliques, appealed to the people of all countries, and gained popularity in public opinion. It was a great success. In the end, with President Peron of Argentina as the leader, the five countries of Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Peru formally formed an alliance, announced the establishment of the "Armed Neutral Alliance", and publicly raised the banner of anti-Americanism.

The Bolivian authorities, which firmly adhere to the pro-American stance, are breaking out various civil strife while being besieged by the armies of Peru, Paraguay and Chile and bombed by the air forces of the three countries plus the Japanese naval aviation. The country is on the brink of collapse.

As for Brazil, America’s hardcore younger brother and number one thug in South America, it also has its own troubles—revolution, no matter what color it is, is usually contagious. It can start a prairie fire”, from the Great Revolution of 1848 in Europe, to the upheavals in Eastern Europe in the 21th century, to the Arab Spring in the [-]st century.The same is true of the current changing situation in South America.

As the most active ally in following the United States in the war among South American countries, Brazil is also the country that has sacrificed the most in the world war among South American countries.Especially in the stage of the great defeat at the beginning of the outbreak of World War III, the Pentagon basically used the Brazilian army as a scapegoat, and was thrown into a desperate situation every time to take charge of the rear.As a result, about 300 million Brazilian troops were wiped out on the battlefields of Japan, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. For Brazil, which currently has a population of only 500 million, including a large number of Indians and blacks, this is close to The proportion of French casualties in World War I was even higher, and even this was not a local battle to defend the country, but an overseas expedition to serve as cannon fodder for others!
The consequences of this are naturally boiling public dissatisfaction and a high revolutionary atmosphere.After Argentina, Chile, and Peru withdrew from the war one after another, anti-war movements broke out in major cities in Brazil, and soon various political figures joined, making the momentum more and more powerful.When the Brazilian government ordered the military and police to suppress it, even a major mutiny broke out within the army.If it weren't for the US military to come to the rescue, I'm afraid everything would really be over.

Even so, in order to suppress the chaos in Brazil, the U.S. troops on the front line fought very bloody and hard: In Rio de Janeiro, the United States dispatched two battleships to bombard the port, destroying the rebellious Brazilian navy and the coastal defense batteries occupied by the rebels; in Sao Paulo, The U.S. military and government troops dispatched planes to bomb the neighborhoods controlled by "thugs", and also used tanks and heavy artillery to destroy the barricades... During the half-month continuous massacre, the two major cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo were bloodied. After flowing into a river, the riot that almost subverted the Brazilian government was finally quelled as quickly as possible.

But even at this point, the turmoil in Brazil is not over yet—since the outbreak of the Pacific War, more than 40 Japanese immigrants in Brazil were considered factors of instability and were successively imprisoned in concentration camps.Next, more German immigrants, Russian immigrants, anti-war elements, Nazi supporters, Bolshevik sympathizers, fallen politicians and their families... were also arrested one after another, and finally the total number of people detained It actually reached 150 million!These concentration camps are basically set up in southern Brazil, near the border between Argentina and Uruguay.

As a result, during the chaotic period, the rebellious Brazilian army released all the hapless ghosts in the concentration camp in order to win supporters.Immediately afterwards, the Argentine army who invaded across the border armed them again and became the leading party and vanguard of the invasion of Brazil...

At present, the coalition forces of Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay have invaded several hundred kilometers southeast of Brazil and seized the important towns of Rio Grande and Porto Alegre.However, the political situation in Brazil is still in chaos. A small number of government troops still in control can only control the capital and several major cities. Constantly rebelling, even the troops that have not yet raised the anti-flag are generally inclined to protect themselves, unwilling to obey the dispatch of the central government, and have no intention of resisting the coalition forces with the enemy at all.

To make matters worse, according to the latest information obtained, the Soviet Union's long-range strategic bomber force is rapidly moving towards Argentina and Chile through the two springboards of South Africa and the Polynesian Islands.And the Soviet Red Army and the Japanese Army also seem to have the intention of landing in South America on a large scale-although the long distance across half the world makes it impossible for them to put too much power in South America, but in the case of the general anti-American public opinion in South America, I am afraid that the US military will have many difficulties in conducting long-term operations here, and there is no home court advantage.More importantly, once they gain a firm foothold in South America, the value of the outpost fortress of the Hawaiian Islands will be lost!The enemy can start from the base in South America and drop the atomic bomb on the continental United States! ! !

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, President Truman finally came to the conclusion: at all costs, we must devote all our troops to South America, clean up our own backyard, and drive the evil hands of the red camp out of the New World!Otherwise, America will not only lose its future, but also its present!
"...if we have to, we can give up Africa temporarily, but we must never give up South America in any case - if we lose Africa, we will only lose the future, and if we lose South America, then we will lose the present as well... The American continent is our absolute defense circle!"

President Truman declared so categorically, and then turned to Admiral Ernest King of the Navy, "... let the Pacific Fleet in Hawaii be withdrawn! The South American battlefield needs them more! It is worth taking some risks for this. Compared with Hawaii Islands, losing South America is even more dangerous for us! No matter what sacrifices and prices are paid, we must drive the evil Bolsheviks from the New World!"

"...Understood, I will let the main force of the Pacific Fleet in Hawaii return from Pearl Harbor as soon as possible, but it will take some time to prepare."

Chief Ernest Jin bowed his head and pondered for a moment, as if he was silently calculating the gains and losses, and finally nodded lightly, "...Before that, I plan to collect ships from the ports on the east and west coasts, temporarily Urgently organize an expeditionary fleet to go to Peru to confront the Japanese fleet. As for the commander of this fleet... I suggest giving General William Halsey Jr. another chance."

Sure enough, upon hearing the name, Truman frowned, "...Let this Typhoon God of War go to sea again"

"...Mr. Chief of the Navy, today's Caribbean Sea is the hurricane season." Secretary of State Hull also echoed the casual ridicule.

"...But William Jr. is currently the general who is most familiar with the Japanese navy and has the most combat experience in the country. Mr. President, Your Excellency the Secretary of State."

Commander Ernest King of the Navy replied neither humble nor overbearing, "...Moreover, according to the observations by the meteorological department, the Caribbean Sea is very calm today."

Seeing that Admiral Jin was so persistent, and the others seemed to have no intention of objecting, President Truman hesitated a little, but finally nodded, "...well, now is indeed the time to employ people! Ge, I shouldn’t be taboo too much, I agree with Halsey! I hope he can sweep across the coastlines of Peru and Chile like a real typhoon, and bring us a clean South America..."
