Working as a police officer in Mexico
Chapter 839 - 453: Victor's Big Celebration!

Guatemala. Northern region, Lakan in the Peten Province.

The population is approximately just over 20,000.

Right now, there is a firefight ongoing!

The sound of gunfire is incessant.

The "Anti-Government Armed Forces," or more specifically, the Guatemala Workers' Party, is staging an armed uprising.

They are clashing with the local police force and the military.

Hundreds of armed militants storm the town hall...

But, wow, their equipment is ridiculously good.

Armed with U.S. Military M16 automatic rifles, with four hand grenades strapped to their waists, and four magazines stuffed into their tactical vests.

There's even someone carrying an M72 LAW rocket launcher, firing a round straight at the window of the town hall, where the Government Forces are still stubbornly resisting.

Boom!

The Government Forces soldiers leaning by the window are blasted into pieces, with limbs flying everywhere...

Smoke still rises from the remains.

This isn't the kind of weaponry a guerrilla force would normally have!

Most GC forces in the Latin American region, or even in Northern India and the Philippines, are still using AK rifles.

If the Guatemala Workers' Party didn't have some backing, they would be eating crap upside-down.

"Charge!!!" A helmet-wearing soldier of the Guatemala Workers' Party shouted, rushing onto the roof of the town hall.

With one swift kick, the flag symbolizing dictatorship is knocked down, and the red flag is planted in its place.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, dozens of Government Forces members laid down their weapons and surrendered.

They squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, looking utterly dejected.

A stocky man with a beret cap, a big beard, and military uniform walked up to them. He looked fierce, but his tone was actually quite gentle.

"Don't worry, I guarantee your safety. After our review, as long as none of you have been involved in abusing the people, committing atrocities, or participating in the dictator Uvico Castaneda's drug trafficking operations, you will be released."

Hearing this, quite a few of the Government Forces personnel visibly relaxed, although a few tensed up.

"Take them away."

The stocky man noticed everyone's reactions and took it all in. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers escorted the captives away.

"Congratulations, Mr. Alfonso Portillo."

At that moment, a bespectacled middle-aged man in military uniform walked over. His first impression was that of a very refined individual.

"You've achieved a significant victory in this phase."

Alfonso Portillo, the leader of the Guatemala Workers' Party, didn't look pleased by the congratulations but instead shook his head solemnly, "A temporary success, just a temporary victory. Guatemala is a vast country, and we still have a lot of work to do."

The middle-aged man nodded appreciatively, "I thought you might indulge in celebrating this victory..."

If he had, it would mark him as a shortsighted man.

"I need to expand our influence and bring more people into the fold. And I need your support." Alfonso Portillo said, his eyes slightly raised.

"Of course, Mexico City will provide you with weapons and equipment for 3,000 men, 6 million US dollars in aid, and a team of 40 military advisors. We're more than happy to see dictatorship overthrown, and a new GC society established."

Alfonso Portillo's eyes lit up with excitement and gratitude.

But then he furrowed his brows and hesitated before asking, "Mr. Valentin, is Mexico planning to prop up a new regime?"

This was the kind of tactic used by the Yankees often—propping up Augusto Pinochet, overthrowing Allende's rule, and breaking the backbone of GC ideology in the Latin American region.

Even the Soviet Union had done the same; their invasion of Afghanistan and strike against Amin was all to establish a pro-Soviet government.

The Cold War...

It was the small nations that died, while their neighbors froze.

"No, no, no!"

Valentin, a representative of the Mexican Intelligence Bureau, shook his head, "We never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries."

"Our assistance is purely out of humanitarian concern for the people of Guatemala. Look at how under the dictatorship, the people are impoverished, selling their children just to survive. The world should not be this way."

"Rest assured, we expect nothing in return..."

"We simply hope for world peace, where the elderly can be cared for, and the young supported."

Valentin's eyes were incredibly sincere—so much so that even he almost believed his own words.

Some words can only be half-believed.

Why is Mexico supporting Guatemala's independence?

Isn't it to amplify the "spark" of GC ideology in the Latin American region, right under the capitalist United States' nose? When the Yankees open their eyes, oh dear, nations waving the banner of GC ideology surround them—how can they sleep soundly?

More importantly, Victor needs more allies...

Fighting alone is like a lone wolf fighting a pack of rabid dogs.

To carry forward the legacy of the Soviet Union, one has to be generous, not stingy...

Whatever the Americans can offer, he can offer too.

Money? If it runs out, just drag a few financial tycoons out and execute them.

The market economy has never been controlled by any single financial tycoon but by the activity level of individual markets.

So Victor doesn't fear disrupting the market at all.

As for whether Alfonso Portillo would "betray" the revolution after achieving success, that's something to worry about later.

Besides, the Guatemalan dictator Uvico Castaneda, who came to power through a coup, was deeply in cahoots with the CIA and helped Colombia smuggle drugs into the United States. Internationally, he had criticized Victor multiple times.

Such a person was better dealt with sooner than later.

Alfonso Portillo was no fool. Taking a deep breath, he issued a pledge.

"The Guatemala Workers' Party will forever remain the Mexico People's Party's most loyal, reliable, and friendly brother!"

"If possible, I hope to visit Mexico City to meet with General Victor."

Valentin nodded emphatically, "I will convey this request and expedite arrangements for this meeting."
