Chapter 227
Venezuela.
Capital, Caracas City.
Presidential Palace.
At this time, Carlos Rodriguez was holding an emergency meeting, and the topic was the border war.
News had come from the front line.
Colombia crossed the border to chase a group of militants, but ended up having a head-on gunfire with a patrolling border guard.
The two sides fought.
In the end, nearly a hundred border guards died tragically.
This incident undoubtedly angered Carlos Rodriguez and the entire military.
If this had happened a few years ago, Venezuela would have declared war on Colombia.
But that was a few years ago, and Colombia is no longer what it used to be.
It is impossible to initiate a war.
But Venezuela does not want to swallow this humiliation.
“Let’s talk about how to deal with this matter.” Carlos Rodriguez looked at his staff and the military leaders present.
Hearing this, Chief of Staff Corsi spoke first:”Mr. President, this matter must not be easily let go. Now the news has not spread. If the news spreads and we are indifferent, I am afraid it will arouse domestic dissatisfaction and even riots.
Moreover, Colombia is too arrogant and domineering. He openly crossed the border and shot and killed hundreds of our border guards on our land. We must ask them for an explanation, otherwise the morale of the army will be dispersed.”
“Um~~”Carlos Rodriguez nodded slightly:”Anything else? Tell me, let’s talk about it today.”
“Mr. President, we can no longer keep things quiet. For now, we should step up our preparations. The war with Colombia is inevitable. We should mobilize the army and defend the border areas. In addition, we should actively contact our old friend the Russian bear and strive to gain their support. At least we should buy advanced fighters and missiles, so that we can fight a protracted war with Colombia.”
“In addition, we can also seek help from the United States. In the distant Eastern country, there was a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Although we have many conflicts with the United States, Colombia is a mortal enemy to the United States. I believe that the United States will not refuse to win over the United States and ask it to provide support at this time.”
The speaker was General Dogo, the commander of the Army. He had visited Dragon Country and knew something about its culture.
Carlos Rodriguez’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Dogo with an appreciative expression:”General Dogo, you are right, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now we have a common enemy with the United States, and we certainly don’t want you to fall like this.”
“Yes, Mr. President, and didn’t the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently say that the United States is seeking our cooperation in oil extraction?”
Dogo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:”Wanting to import crude oil from us shows that the United States is also trying to ease relations. I think we should visit the United States and ask the United States to provide weapons, ammunition and fighter support, even if it means selling oil fields. As long as we can win this war, everything else can be discussed.”
In fact, after Colombia’s strong rise, Venezuela tried to ease the relationship with the United States. The United
States only tried to plunder resources and control Venezuela, but Colombia was different. Colombia tried to destroy them and annex them.
In comparison, Venezuela is undoubtedly more hostile to Colombia.
Now that they have a common enemy again, it is not surprising that the Venezuelan military is trying to ease relations with the United States under this situation.
Although Carlos Rodriguez was reluctant to get closer to the United States, compared to Colombia, which was ambitious and wanted to annex Venezuela, he decided to get closer to the United States and seek cooperation.
Thinking of this, Carlos Rodriguez looked at Dogo:”General, in this case, you will lead the team to visit the United States for a military visit and find ways to win the support of the United States, especially in terms of weapons. Get the weapons of the United States as soon as possible. I am worried that Colombia will go to war in the near future.”
Dogo stood up after hearing this and responded solemnly:”Yes, Mr. President!”
Soon, the news about the border dispute was leaked, which immediately caused an uproar among the people of both countries.
The people of Colombia cheered loudly, thinking that they had let out their anger.
However, the people of Venezuela, especially those nationalists, thought it was a great humiliation.
They demanded that the government go to war with Colombia and demand blood for blood.
In short, the relationship between the two countries became increasingly tense.
Faced with the increasingly tense situation, Colombia stepped up its deployment of troops.
Several heavy armored brigades were transferred back from the direction of Miru Egual.
At the same time, there were also several light armored brigades.
Although Venezuela is a mountainous country, except for the central region and the area near the south of Colombia, there are a lot of high mountains. The coastal border areas are mostly plains and hills.
That’s why several heavy armored brigades were transferred back from Miru.
Colombia, Bogota.
National Defense Building.
Chief of Staff Bosni is explaining the battle plan
“Given the military strength of Venezuela and Switzerland, this operation will be unprecedented.”
“First, the Air Force plans to deploy more than 400 fighters. The Navy will deploy one aircraft carrier battle group and one amphibious assault ship battle group.
The Army will mobilize seven heavy armored brigades, 10 light armored brigades, and 21 infantry brigades, a total of 35 brigades, with a total of 260,000 troops.”
I have no objection to the Air Force and the Navy, but the scale of the Army’s deployment is a bit too large. It mobilized almost half of the troops.”
“Yes, General Bosni, you are overestimating Venezuela. With their crappy weapons and equipment, I don’t think they need so many troops. At most 100,000 troops would be enough to defeat Venezuela.”
“No, I only need 50,000. Give me 50,000 people and I can defeat Venezuela.”
“I only want thirty thousand…”
Bosney:”……”
He was speechless, the more he talked, the more outrageous it became.
“Cough cough!”
“Generals, please be quiet.”
Hearing this, the conference room fell silent.
Bosni said solemnly,”Generals, don’t be careless. Although Venezuela seems to be weak and its military weapons and equipment are ordinary, its fighting spirit is by no means comparable to that of Eguar and Miru. From the border conflicts a few days ago, everyone should be able to see that they have a strong fighting spirit and are not even afraid of sacrifice.
Moreover, although Venezuela’s military strength is not great, it has a large reserve and paramilitary forces.
According to the intelligence department, Venezuela has recently recruited a large number of retired soldiers.
It is estimated that once the war breaks out, they will be able to recruit 200,000 to 300,000 reservists in a short period of time.
Together with their border troops, the total force even reaches 400,000.
Therefore, Venezuela’s strength should not be underestimated.”
After hearing that the total force had reached 400,000 and the will to fight was relatively strong, the generals who had just clamored that 30,000 to 50,000 men would be enough to take down Venezuela smiled awkwardly and shut up.
Louis raised his eyebrows, also with a look of surprise.
In his impression, Venezuela was a thorn in the side, just like Ha Wa, who was against the United States.
In addition, it was a country with rich oil reserves, but he didn’t expect Venezuela to have so many troops.
He remembered that the total population of Venezuela seemed to be only 20 million, so how could it mobilize so many troops?
If so, then mobilizing 280,000 people would not be outrageous, after all, troops would have to be sent to stay after the war.
But in this case, I’m afraid it won’t be over in a short time.
However, thinking of Venezuela’s rich oil reserves,���Source, Louis instantly felt it was a good deal
“”Tell me about the specific battle plan.” After calming down, Louis gestured to Bosney, who nodded in agreement.
He raised his hand and pointed to the large map on the wall with the command stick in his hand, and began to speak.
“The specific combat ideas are as follows.
The first step is to launch an attack by the Air Force to destroy the air bases and air defense forces in major cities such as Caracas, Valencia, and Maracaibo, and seize air superiority.
At the same time as the war begins, the naval aircraft carrier fleet will also destroy the Venezuelan naval ships at the same time.
The second step is that after gaining air superiority, the ground forces will launch attacks from four directions.
The first route out of Mike City is planned to be composed of the 6th Army and the 7th Army to form a battle group, with General Veron, the commander of the 7th Army, as the commander, and General Novman, the commander of the 6th Army, as the deputy commander.
Command the 36th Heavy Armored Brigade and the 37th Heavy Armored Brigade, the 47th Light Armored Brigade, the 48th Light Brigade and the 58th Infantry Brigade, the 59th Infantry Brigade, the 60th Infantry Brigade, and the 61st Infantry Brigade, a total of 8 brigades, more than 58,000 people.
Attack Maracaibo, a major coastal city in Venezuela.
After capturing Maracaibo, you can capture the entire Zulia State along the coastline.
This state is the most populous state in Venezuela. Taking this place is equivalent to taking over an important port and economic center in Venezuela.”
“The second route was to leave the city of Cucuta. The plan was for the commander of the 3rd Army, Reynolds Rodr.
He commanded the 3rd Light Armored Brigade, the 5th Light Armored Brigade, the 13th Light Armored Brigade, and the 17th Infantry Brigade under the 3rd Army. In addition, the 52nd Infantry Brigade and the 53rd Infantry Brigade of the 11th Army were also temporarily transferred to command him.
A total of 6 brigades, more than 45,000 people.
Attack the capital of Táchira State, San Cristobal, and other cities in the middle route”
“The third route was to leave Saravena, consisting of the 1st Army and the 5th Army, under the command of Deputy Army Commander Pava.
He commanded two armies, 5 heavy armored brigades, 2 light armored brigades and 2 infantry brigades as the central route group to capture the central region of Venezuela.
Together with the 1st Army and the 2nd Army, they attacked Valencia, the third largest city in Venezuela, and the capital Caracas.”
“The Fourth Army was mainly responsible for clearing the sparsely populated southern region. (To read the best novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Due to the vast area and the mountainous southern region, it was mainly composed of infantry brigades.
Commanded by General Banjack, the Army Chief of Staff, it consisted of the 4th, 8th and 11th Armies, a total of 12 brigades.”
Louis looked at the map and carefully analyzed Bosni’s armies and combat missions.
The areas attacked by the 4th Army are actually in the mountainous southern region.
The densely populated areas of Venezuela are mainly concentrated in the northeast and coastal areas.
In other words, as long as the northeast and coastal areas are captured, Venezuela will basically be captured.
Although the southern region occupies half of the country, it is mountainous and plateau, which is not suitable for armored mechanization. It is most suitable for the infantry brigade to go there.
As long as the essence is captured, the rest is nothing more than learning from Milu, spending time and energy to slowly eliminate the rebels on the plateau.
It won’t make too much waves.
Moreover, the rebels are on the plateau, lacking material replenishment and industry, and can’t hold on for too long.
At the same time, it is entirely possible to send fighter jets to bomb from time to time.
It’s no problem to drag it out for a few years.
As long as the essence is obtained, the subsequent encirclement and suppression will be enough.
In this regard, there are drones to help, so there is no need to be as miserable as Su Xiong and the later US military in the Afghan battlefield.
After all, if a drone is shot down, it won’t cost much money.[]
Helicopters and fighter jets are different.
In the system, one Xiaolong 3 can buy tens of thousands of Dajiang drones.
Therefore, he is not worried about the subsequent defeat of Venezuela and Switzerland and their escape to the plateau area.
“What about the coalition forces?”
Louis thought about this war, but there were coalition forces from many countries participating.
“Boss, the coalition forces have gathered in Cucuta City, and they will cooperate with the Second Army.”
Hearing this, Louis nodded.
“When do you plan to start?”
“We can move at any time. The troops have already assembled, all kinds of guns and ammunition have been issued, and the supplies have been arranged for delivery. We can move at any time.”
“In that case, let’s act at 4 a.m. tomorrow.”
Louis thought for a moment and said
“”Yes!”
Everyone responded in unison.
As the combat time was determined, the armies in the four directions and the various air force bases also entered a state of war.
At the same time, the”Barranquilla” aircraft carrier battle group and the”Cartagena” amphibious assault ship battle group under the Atlantic Fleet successively sailed out from the two home ports of Cartagena and Barranquilla, heading south along the Mediterranean Sea, planning to stop 200 nautical miles west of Dominica and 158 nautical miles east of Aruba. The navy is mainly to destroy the Venezuelan naval fleet, and then to attack the targets on the shore.
The Columbia aircraft carrier fleet sailed out and was quickly discovered by the US satellite.
Quick analysis After some research, it was believed that Colombia was planning to attack Venezuela.
Under the instruction of the new president, this information was quickly passed to Venezuela. While the snipe and the clam quarrel
, the fisherman benefits. Provoking a war is the most beneficial to the United States.
After receiving the intelligence provided by the United States, Venezuela attached great importance to it.
It ordered the entire army to be on alert and ordered the navy not to go out.
Going out to face the powerful Colombian navy is completely suicide, which is no different from sending heads.
Staying in the port, you can also use the port air defense system to support and intercept.
The Air Force is on combat duty 24 hours a day, ready to respond to the impending war at any time.
