Working as a police officer in Mexico
Chapter 875 - 465: "The era does not allow us to stop, gentlemen..."_3

What's said unintentionally may strike a chord with the listener...

Victor lifted his head, looking at him with bright eyes, "You're absolutely right."

"Huh? General, I was just joking." Horatio quickly waved his hand.

"We don't get to decide the program schedule."

"Who said so?"

"Have you forgotten Heinrich Louis Bodmer?"

Hydra!

"He definitely has ways to make it happen. Who would have thought the CIA boss is one of Hydra's people? If they want to pull some strings from the inside, it's hardly difficult."

Everyone exchanged glances.

"It's worth a try!"

"Staff Department, immediately draft a plan and make sure all departments give unconditional support. When is their memorial service scheduled?" Victor asked.

"February 15th," Admiral Blomberg quickly replied.

"So many days? Aren't they worried about the body rotting?"

Victor's first thought was this: killed on the 2nd, memorial on the 15th?

Tsk tsk tsk...

The wealthy always have it good; even ice coffins can hold bodies for so long.

"That doesn't leave us much time. It's the 9th today; I want the plan ready by the 11th."

The two staff members exchanged helpless glances before standing up in unison, "Mission will be accomplished!"

"Don't say I'm rushing you. As long as the operation goes well, you won't be short on credit. Whether it's military funding or personnel, it won't be an issue. Budget requests for the second half of the year will be prioritized for your departments."

Victor waved his hand, signaling them to sit back down.

"Of course, don't force things too much on this. Killing one Reagan already satisfies me. But my main question now…"

He paused slightly, his gaze tightening, "Should we seize the opportunity to swallow up the Southern Government?"

"General, that... fighting on two fronts will put immense pressure on us. If one collapses, the outcome could be catastrophic," Horatio expressed his dissent.

"Exactly. If we engage in another war with the drug traffickers, right now the only force we can mobilize is the 5th Army. The 1st, 3rd, and 4th Armies are suppressing the locals. There are still plenty of people hidden in the mountain recesses, lying in wait for an opportunity to cause trouble." Blomberg chimed in.

Even the U.S. Military wouldn't dare fight on two fronts...

Victor got up and walked over to the map, signaling them to come closer.

"I know my opponents. Those Southern drug cartels will definitely kick us while we're down. Rather than staying passive, we should strike proactively. In Guatemala, don't we have a good relationship with their guerrilla forces? Let them attack from the east to tie down the enemy forces, while our 5th Army and the 3rd Army stationed in Guerrero State sweep southward with overwhelming force!"

"Push forward in a pincer formation, striking from two sides, and rapidly seize Oaxaca State and Veracruz State. Secure Twan Tepic Canyon—it's easy to defend and hard to attack, with terrain like an hourglass. Once fortified with firepower, it's fully defensible; they won't stand a chance at breaking out."

"Then recruit 15,000 militias from the seven Northern States to form a Reserve Division and coordinate efforts with the National Guard to suppress local activities. Order Erich Faginhan, commander of the Second Army stationed in Guadalajara, to lead his forces northward to reinforce the US-Mexico Battlefield."

Victor pointed at the map as he explained his plan to them.

"Isn't Cuba supporting us with 20,000 troops?"

"Those 20,000 soldiers trained by the Soviet Union distinguished themselves during the Angolan Civil War. Deploy them to Juarez under the command of the 4th Army's Rommel. That brings the total border forces to over 200,000 troops. If the United States thinks they can crush us in one swoop, it's absolutely impossible. As long as we hold them off, victory will belong to us."

"The International Brigade units will move south with the main forces, advancing against the Southern Drug Dealer Government and liberating the entire territory!"

Victor squinted as he spoke.

"Our strategic goal has never been to conquer the United States. It's about pinning them down at the border. Once we take the South, we can sit down for proper negotiations."

Conquer the United States?

Even a desperate dog bites back.

If we push them too far, what if they throw atomic bombs at us?

It hasn't come to that final step yet.

Or rather...

The U.S. elites fear death; they understand that if they resort to such desperate measures, Victor would launch intercontinental missiles targeting Wall Street and Yellowstone Park without hesitation.

Those in polished shoes wouldn't risk their lives against those with nothing to lose.

North America is the dance of a wolf and a tiger!

Both sides know restraint...

No choice...

They're just too close. Open a door, and you could see your opponent.

You can use various tactics to dominate Iraq in the Gulf War, but... with Mexico, those won't work.

"What do you all think?"

Horatio held his breath, furrowing his brow, "We'll need to go back and discuss it further."

He still didn't dare make the call.

Victor understood the dangers as well, so he didn't push. He only asked the Staff Department to deliberate thoroughly.

"The era doesn't allow us to stop in our tracks, gentlemen…"
