Working as a police officer in Mexico.

Chapter 597: Don’t worry, buddy, I will stand behind you!

"We must not drag the troops into a security battle!"

This is a report issued by the military headquarters to all front-line troops.

Security warfare itself is completely different from regular warfare. Its war experience is difficult to apply in regular combat between two armies, and even a powerful country will be dragged to death.

Just like the Soviet Union, its military expenditure in the Afghanistan War was as high as 50 billion US dollars a year. We cannot deny that their "disintegration" was due to internal reasons, but there are also big reasons for being dragged down by external factors.

This is also one of the reasons why Victor did not completely occupy New Mexico and California. Not to mention whether he could completely conquer them and how much loss would be incurred. Secondly, the two states together cover nearly 80 square kilometers. How much armed force would be needed to deploy for stability?

And now in this 20 square kilometers of occupied area, Victor will not force you to cooperate. If you don't like it, you can leave. This is called "surround three sides and leave one side" in military strategy. You have a way to escape and a choice, and few people will stay to clash with the Mexican army.

But if you want to learn the "Goblin"'s policy of "non-violence and non-resistance", then I'm sorry, but I have to pull you out as an example.

Ye Jihan submitted the name "Venus Greco", and a platoon of soldiers rushed into the farm of the former Las Cruces congressman. A young man standing at the door saw the army and his face changed. He ran home shouting, "Dad! Dad!"

"preparation!"

The platoon leader waved his hand, and the anti-aircraft gun on the military pickup truck was aimed at the farm house, "Fire!"

Bullets of such thickness were fired at the house, and the inside of the house was smashed to pieces, as if it was being renovated. A middle-aged man with a gray beard, Venus Greck, heard his youngest son calling him, so he answered the call from the basement, climbed up the stairs, and asked what was going on.

Bullet, no no no, have you seen a 20mm caliber bullet?
Venus Greck watched as her young son was hit in the abdomen and beaten into pieces.

"what!!!!"

The congressman's eyes suddenly turned red. He climbed out of the basement, grabbed a rifle hanging next to him, pulled the bolt, bent over and rushed towards the door. He opened the door and was ready to fight to the death with the other party, then he saw someone outside carrying a rocket launcher and pointing it at his house.

"Do not!!!"

boom! ! !
The bungalow collapsed instantly, and the concrete slabs hit the ground, stirring up a cloud of thick smoke.

"Drag the body out and take it to the TV station. Use this guy's body to tell the residents of Las Cruces that they can either stay or get out!"

That night, the local radio station in Las Cruces broadcast the Mexican military's policies and told them that they could take their assets with them when they left and that they would not be made difficult. However, if they continued to oppose the Mexican military, they would be killed without mercy!
The uncensored body of Venus Gleick was shown.

Seeing the horrific scene, many residents of Las Cruces screamed, hugged each other and trembled. In order to get them to watch, the security forces used loudspeakers to call for several hours. There are always people who are curious.

"Go! Go! Go! Get out of here, get out of here." A middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked like an intellectual turned pale with fright when he saw this scene.

In the United States' cognitive warfare, the Mexican army is no different from Germany in World War II, with massacres, robberies, and rapes, but who would have thought that the body of the "former congressman" would be displayed so openly.

"This is the murderer!"

He swallowed and turned to look at his family. His wife and little daughter were hugging each other, while his eldest son was leaning close to the TV with... passion in his eyes?
"Pedro, stop staring, it's not good at all!"

The eldest son turned his head and said, "Dad, don't you think it would be more ceremonial if Mr. Venus Greck drew three crosses on his face?"

The man's expression suddenly changed, "What are you talking about..."

"I was just saying that." The other person shook his head and looked back at the TV. "You guys go, I don't plan to leave. I think this place is great."

"Brother, they...they killed Mr. Venus Greg." The sister, who was only about ten years old, raised her head and said.

"Yes, this practice is absolutely NC and against human morality!"

Pedro listened to his family members talking at the same time, his expression was very calm. After everyone finished speaking, he slowly said, "Can't Venus die? Don't you know why he was removed from his position as a congressman? It's because he used the farm business to transport drugs from Mexico and then sold them to the country. He is a warehouse operator centered in Las Cruces. He has cooperated with gangs a lot. He is a drug dog!"

“Does killing poisonous dogs require human rights?”

This direct rebuttal left the family speechless, and the father stammered, "But his behavior was too brutal..."

"To understand a person, it's never just about what he does, but why he does it. Dad, isn't that what you told me?" Pedro turned his head and looked at him.

"But...but...they invaded our country. Even if we don't resist, we can't help them. Yes, help them."

"North America belongs to the Indians, and Mexico is the inheritor of Indian culture. Strictly speaking, the United States has been Mexican territory since ancient times. I am joining Mexico now, which is called abandoning darkness and joining the light. If the US government is really right, why does the Republic of Texas want independence? Dad, we have problems internally, and now we need someone to help us cut the flesh."

Fuck!
Such a familiar style.

I couldn't help but think of a sentence, "Dad, I am Liu Lu!"

"Besides, where can we run to? The American Civil War will lead to more violent conflicts. Independent governments, gangs, corporate militias, and community protection all have guns. If we provoke them, do you think we will be okay?"

"Order has been destroyed. It will undoubtedly be difficult, or even impossible, to rebuild it. Only in Mexico, perhaps, can we survive."

Pedro's parents looked at each other. They were intellectuals, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that what he said made sense. Many parts of the United States have actually collapsed.

The wealthy middle class even formed community guards to protect their families and assets, and the government police and the army had no time to care about you. The war also led to a large amount of unemployment, and many people joined the underworld. A "family" like theirs, with three of the four people wearing glasses, looked easy to bully.

The middle-aged man thought about it quietly and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll apply for a new ID tomorrow."

Pedro nodded, his eyes fixed on the TV, motionless.

...

On July 7, Defense Secretary Kennedy gave an exclusive interview to the Mexican media, in which he said that Mexico's strategic goals had been achieved and that the Pentagon, led by Norman Schwarzkopf, had performed very well.

"Are you praising...the Pentagon?" the female reporter asked in astonishment.

"Yes, even if we are enemies, we are also soldiers. I have to say that it is good for the United States to have him as its leader. He is a respectable person."

"But under his rule, the United States experienced a civil war..."

Kennedy shook his head. "No, no, no, that's a problem of society and the president. What's wrong for a soldier to think of saving America as his mission? His mistake was that he trusted the American elites too much. They have no bottom line. They can sell out America for their own interests. He was killed by his own people. It was never Mexico who defeated him, but America's own people!" The female reporter half opened her mouth, looking very surprised.

actually…

These questions have all been approved.

She just gave a very good performance.

The female reporter then asked many more questions, including how to deal with American citizens in the occupied areas and whether human rights protection would be provided. At the end, he said meaningfully, "The world is big and can accommodate everyone's development. North America is also big and can accommodate more countries."

The interview was broadcast on mainstream media during prime time at noon the next day.

Many Mexicans also discovered that the media newspapers of that day wrote a lot of words praising "Norman Schwarzkopf". It cannot be said to be praise, but only admiration for his military capabilities. They also sighed that if he was born in Mexico, perhaps he would be the next Secretary of Defense because he has the ability.

This left the Mexican people, who were still shouting "Down with America" ​​yesterday, stunned.

???

What do you mean?
Is this a change in wind direction?

Or is Mexico going to join forces with the United States?
Could it be that aliens are attacking?
After the news was released, the first person to get anxious was "Bramo of Illinois". He called Victor and asked indirectly whether Mexico planned to cooperate with the Pentagon?

Victor just smiled, "Normal diplomatic language."

Bramo was anxious, "Brother-in-law, our goal is to eliminate American hegemony and build a peaceful society. You haven't forgotten this, have you?"

"Of course! Don't worry, we will provide any assistance to Illinois. We are also planning to add you to the expanded meeting of the People's League. Don't worry, Mexico will not abandon its comrades."

After hearing his assurance, Bramo breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

Victor just shook his head slightly. He was still too young to believe anything...

relative?

Wasn’t World War I just a bunch of relatives fighting against relatives?

The interests of the country are above everything else!
Later, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and other independent states called, and Victor just "diligently" responded by saying, "Go ahead, don't be afraid!"
I will definitely support you from behind.

He's really hawkish.

And in a private building in the Pentagon.

This place was built to look like a hospital. Norman Schwarzkopf was worried about the hospitals outside. He was afraid that someone would murder him, so he had an internal hospital built here.

The cadres of the "Golden Knights" all receive physical examinations and treatment here.

At this time, in the north-facing ward, Norman Schwarzkopf looked pale, with large dark bags under his eyes, and he looked much more haggard...

He was quietly watching an interview with Kennedy on TV. When he heard him say that he was a "respectable" opponent, he felt a kind of palpitation unconsciously. And when he said later, "Americans have misunderstood him, he is the real patriot", the old man actually shed tears!
This frightened his wife who was taking care of him nearby. She stood up quickly and asked nervously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I just feel sad that the person who understands you best is your enemy." Norman Schwarzkopf wiped his tears.

He feels wronged too!
He was the one who least wanted a civil war in the United States, but who knew that so many things would happen that were out of his control.

His wife was silent beside him, pressed the quilt for him, and said hesitantly, "Or, you should quit your job."

"A woman's view!"

Norman Schwarzkopf scolded and frowned. His wife was startled, and then she sat down aggrievedly, "Isn't this just worrying me? Someone on the dark web wants to kill you and our whole family. You sleep later than a dog and get up earlier than a cow every day. The doctor said that you are under a lot of physical stress. If you continue like this, you will collapse."

Seeing her like this, he felt a little uncomfortable, and his tone became gentle, "Believe it or not, I will die soon after I hand in my resignation letter."

"I can't retreat. Now they are pushing me forward. Everyone in the society wants to get rich and get promoted. I lead them and they recognize me as their big brother. But if I don't do it, they will be man-eating beasts and rush up to tear our whole family apart."

When his wife heard what he said, she shuddered with fear.

Norman Schwarzkopf gritted his teeth, his face flushed. "So, I can't fall down, I can't fail, I... still want to protect you."

His wife, Brenda Helsinger, looked up at her husband and gently held his hand.

This sentence sounds very much like what happened thirty years ago, when Norman Schwarzkopf, who had just returned from the Vietnam War and was working as an associate professor at West Point University, met a stewardess from Trans World Airlines in New York, a slender and beautiful girl with big dark brown eyes, who is now his wife.

In June 1968, they held their wedding ceremony in the famous church at West Point Military Academy. At that time, Brenda Helsinger also clearly remembered that her husband kissed her, held her hand and said, "I will protect you."

Just like today, always stand in front of yourself.

Norman Schwarzkopf got up from the bed, and Brenda Helsinger was shocked, "You are not well yet. The doctor asked you to rest more."

"Don't worry, I'm a warrior and I'll never be defeated by any difficulty. Help me get my clothes. I think I can continue to work."

As he said this, he looked at Kennedy on TV with his eyes narrowed. "The sudden kindness of the Mexicans is like a big cake sprinkled with sesame seeds. It's waiting for me to take a bite, and I also know that at this moment, I have to take a bite."

"It's time to make peace with them."

Brenda Helsinger looked at her husband in surprise. She knew that he was a stubborn old man who would never bow his head.

"People always have to compromise, don't they?"

Norman Schwarzkopf smiled softly.
