Chapter 839: Chapter 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-Governnt Ard Forces,” or more specifically, the Guatemala Workers’ Party, is staging an ard uprising.
They are clashing with the local police force and the military.
Hundreds of ard militants storm the town hall…
But, wow, their equipnt is ridiculously good.
Ard 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 soone carrying an M72 LAW rocket launcher, firing a round straight at the window of the town hall, where the Governnt Forces are still stubbornly resisting.
Boom!
The Governnt 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 Arican region, or even in Northern India and the Philippines, are still using AK rifles.
If the Guatemala Workers’ Party didn’t have so backing, they would be eating crap upside-down.
“Charge!!!” A helt-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 Governnt Forces mbers 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 Governnt 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 mont, 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, xico City will provide you with weapons and equipnt for 3,000 n, 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 excitent and gratitude.
But then he furrowed his brows and hesitated before asking, “Mr. Valentin, is xico planning to prop up a new regi?”
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 Arican region.
Even the Soviet Union had done the sa; their invasion of Afghanistan and strike against Amin was all to establish a pro-Soviet governnt.
The Cold War…
It was the small nations that died, while their neighbors froze.
“No, no, no!”
Valentin, a representative of the xican 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.
So words can only be half-believed.
Why is xico supporting Guatemala’s independence?
Isn’t it to amplify the “spark” of GC ideology in the Latin Arican 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 Aricans 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 sothing to worry about later.
Besides, the Guatemalan dictator Uvico Castaneda, who ca 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 tis.
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 xico People’s Party’s most loyal, reliable, and friendly brother!”
“If possible, I hope to visit xico City to et with General Victor.”
Valentin nodded emphatically, “I will convey this request and expedite arrangents for this eting.”
