Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Eastern Front and the Back Garden

March 2nd.

Eastern Front.

Volga Basin, Yalar Region.

Although it was already early March, in early spring, the cold snap from the Arctic Ocean still controlled the area and showed no signs of abating, so that the place was still full of white dwarfs, and the mountains were covered with snow half a meter high.

Even the traces left by brutal large-scale wars,

In the face of the cold snaps of the Arctic Ocean, the true power of nature can be easily concealed.

Whether it is the traces left by heavy tanks, the craters left by large-caliber heavy artillery, or the traces left by more powerful super-heavy aerial bombs, in just a few days, they are easily covered by a thick layer of snow, and there is not the slightest trace to be seen.

Somewhere in the middle,

Nineteen No. 4 tanks drove by, and a tank commander opened the roof cover.

He originally wanted to look at the endless snow scene and feel the breath of decline of the once invincible empire that kept countless surrounding countries awake at night, but as soon as the top cover was opened, a cold wind poured straight in, and the smell of the tank cabin suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees.

Yes, tens of degrees.

Installing air conditioning in the tank, except for the young master soldiers of a small and large family in the Middle East, even if they are as arrogant as the United States, they only stay at the test site and have never been equipped with troops.

But hot air pumps, it couldn't be simpler.

From the engine to extract hot air into the cabin, the simple technology can not be simpler, almost no technical difficulty, the new No. 4 tank is naturally equipped, which can allow the No. 4 tank to maintain a temperature of more than 20 degrees or more in the cabin even in the environment of minus 34 degrees.

Snug as a bug in a rug.

But this meager amount of heat can easily be blown away in the face of the cold winds of the Arctic Ocean.

"It's so cold, no wonder they're all crazy."

He cursed in his mouth, but he still looked around, secretly smug in his heart.

After a three-month-long war, the evil empire that had enveloped his homeland for hundreds of years was finally and completely defeated.

Although the main force of this battle is someone else, he also participated in this big war, and the wrong formation of his homeland also participated in this battle, and everyone is a country of the Great European Union, with a great common goal, as a family.

The future is promising.

Of course, to deal with some of the remnants of the enemy.

Although the enemy's main force had been defeated, it was not completely annihilated, and many remnants of the enemy remained in the mountains around Ulal to resist stubbornly.

Their mission is to exterminate these people.

Fortunately, these enemies are poorly equipped, small in scale, and seriously undersupplied in logistics, although the Germans and the main forces are repairing, but they have no problem dealing with these partisans, the second-line troops.

Although they are second-line troops, their equipment is no worse than that of first-line troops, aircraft, tanks, and artillery are complete, but they are a little worse in formation time and less combat experience, but when these damn guerrillas are defeated, they can also become elite troops, go to the Western Front, and fight against the evil Anglo-American capitalist forces.

suddenly

Boom...

At the front of the line, a huge explosive fireball suddenly rose up, completely enveloping a No. 4 tank, accompanied by a scattered shock wave, scattered parts scattered in all directions, and the turret even smashed into a half-track transporter in the rear.

"Anti-tank mines."

The commander of this tank regiment immediately shouted in the channel.

The only thing that can directly blow up the No. 4 tank and directly blow it into parts is an anti-tank mine, and it is a heavy mine with a yellow charge of several tens of kilograms.

"Damn, there's a mine here, too."

The tank commander scolded.

He had already tried to avoid the main route, but he did not expect that the enemy would actually lay mines here as well.

Unlike the company-platoon-level junior officer, as the commander of the armored regiment, he is already considered a high-level and knows more, plus he has a general's brother who knows more about the current world situation.

He knows it well.

The main forces of the enemy were indeed routed, and the losses of weapons and equipment were heavy, but the battle was still far from victory, and the main forces of the enemy still existed in Ulral, as well as in the area east of it, and on a large scale, still numbering in the millions.

And supplies and equipment are also being transported from abroad.

The reason why the troops stopped the offensive was because a major battle also broke out on the Western Front, the Anglo-American offensive was very fierce, the troops of Rennes and Caen were heavily damaged, suffered heavy losses, and urgently needed support, and the main forces of the Eastern Front had to stop the offensive and go to support the Western Front.

There is one more reason.

As the battle line lengthened, it became more and more difficult to replenish, the enemy retreated and damaged the railway bridges, repairs were very difficult in winter, and the logistical supply was no longer able to sustain the offensive of millions of troops.

otherwise

Why did he have only nineteen tanks in an armored regiment?

And also

The victory did not come without a price, both the Germans, and their main forces, suffered heavy casualties, millions of casualties, and many troops were in dire need of repair and morale. So the Germans reorganized the troops that could still fight, and the rest of the troops were withdrawn and repaired.

Fortunately.

Most of the elite troops on the Eastern Front were annihilated, there was also a serious shortage of officers, and the combat effectiveness of the troops in the Yral area was weak.

Exact news, because of the heavy casualties at the top, there is a serious internal chaos, it is said that it has become several factions, even if there is no shortage of supplies, and there is no ability to launch a large-scale attack.

Only sporadic attacks can be launched at the moment.

It is foreseeable that in the future, on the front that spans more than a thousand kilometers in Ulal, there will inevitably be a protracted war of attrition dominated by skirmishes.

Moreover, casualties on both sides will not be low.

······

South america.

As the backyard of the United States, it is full of American companies, and it is the birth of a world-class giant enterprise such as United Fruits.

It can be said that

It is these corporations that control everything in this backyard of America, not just the economy, but also politics, where everything is dominated by the United States.

But recently, something has changed here,

Mid-March. ,

"Damn it."

In a city in Glumbia, an American businessman scolded:

"They control the rest of the farms, and they're still reaching out to us."

"Those people on the other side?"

Another American businessman on the side asked.

"Who else?"

The first merchant sneered: "Except for those infidels, no one in the world dares to go against the United States." ”

Germans are not people?

Europeans are not people?

Although he complained in his heart, the other businessmen did not dare to say much.

Merchants are also hierarchical,

The first businessman to open his mouth was obviously the boss here, not only calling for wind and rain abroad, but also at home, being strong in the business world, having a strong background and connections in the political circles, and also having very deep ties in the military.

"We can let the locals deal with him."

It has been proposed that:

"Import a batch of weapons from the country, hand them over to the local forces, and then give a little money, and you can easily solve the problem."

"If you really can't do it, you can import some heavy weapons, heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers, and even howitzers and tanks."

Although the front-line war needs, but in terms of light weapons, the United States has not been in short supply, bullets have begun to reduce production capacity, because there is too much production, and it is impossible to use it up, and light artillery, too, because the front line needs large-caliber artillery, so that a large number of these weapons go to other hells.

"It's useless."

The American businessman at the head spoke in an irritable tone, and he looked around at the members of the so-called merchant alliance, and his tone became more and more irritable:

"Even if you give artillery and tanks to the locals, it's just a rabble, with no combat power, and you can't beat those devil mercenaries at all."

Suddenly, the other merchants fell silent.

It's not that no one has tried to solve problems with violence, and the traditional craft of Chicago gangsters has never been left behind.

But, gangsters are always just gangsters,

There is an essential gap with the army,

In particular, the gang members are still local natives, with almost no military experience, and they only know how to shoot indiscriminately and where the bullets are flying, even if they come to find veterans for training, and even find some soldiers, they can't beat those devil mercenaries.

Even if the weapons and equipment are the same, there are even advantages.

No, it doesn't.

Those guys really came out of the battlefield.

"What then?"

Someone said:

"Are we just watching them devour us?"

Watching their territory being swallowed up is really very unpleasant for this group of American businessmen.

"Why did they go to the farm?"

Some people are puzzled.

The brutality of war creates a unique need.

In order to maintain morale, the military had to use some special things, and with the deregulation of regulations, the demand for tens of millions of troops was extremely huge, but domestic production was prohibited, so they came abroad to produce and plant and sell to the country.

Mexico didn't have enough production capacity and the environment was not suitable, so they came to Glumbia.

But for some reason, instead of meddle in this highly profitable business, the gang on the other side of the river did everything possible to sabotage it, buying their farms by all means and then switching to other crops with very low returns.

"Who knows what the heretic thinks!"

A group of American businessmen gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

Looking at this group of incompetent teammates, the leading boss frowned deeply.

It's not just them,

Including United Fruits, in the face of the attack of the group of people on the other side, they are losing one after another, and various companies have sprung up, and the influence of the United States on this place is rapidly fading, and the back garden is really leaving the United States.

Among them, the most influential is a company called Master Kong,

Relying on annexation, in just a few months, the company obtained a large number of plantations and cheap grain from the country, and achieved a turnover of tens of millions of dollars, which is also a large amount in the United States.

Because of the war, there are not many domestic forces that can invest here,

And

It seems that the government does not dare to offend them too much,

Several parliamentarians had been arrested in the open sea, and the incident was not even reported in the newspapers.
