Working as a police officer in Mexico-Chapter 1708 - 769: Don’t Punish the Greedy or the Lazy—Punish the Blind! (Part 2)

Capítulo 1708: Chapter 769: Don’t Punish the Greedy or the Lazy—Punish the Blind! (Part 2)

Victor stopped walking and bent down to pick up a shell washed ashore by the waves. He carefully examined the shell’s patterns: “Have the photos been taken?”

“The embedded reporter took them. Front, side, the rank is clear. Do we need to process them? He has a head injury, his face might be disfigured.”

“No need to process them.” Victor tossed the shell back into the sea. “Reality is the best propaganda. Send the photos out to all media we have contacts with. Especially to those in Europe.”

“Yes.”

“What else did Kitchener say in the telegram?”

Casare flipped to the second page: “The Chief of Staff suggested that given the Italian forces have collapsed and their defense zone has a gap, our army could take advantage of this opportunity to advance 5 to 8 kilometers northeast, threatening the Coalition’s flank. But he also warned that other NATO forces might intensify their vigilance, or even contract their defense line.”

Victor gazed at the horizon, sunlight piercing through the clouds, scattering gold on the sea.

“Tell Kitchener to stabilize the current front line. Don’t be too aggressive.”

He turned and began to walk back, “Defeating the Italians is to make them feel pain, not to take territory. Now those NATO old men are surely bickering, shirking responsibilities among themselves. If we make a move, they’ll instead come together.”

Casare quickly recorded.

“The next step,” Victor said, “is the negotiating table.”

“Negotiations?” Casare raised his head, “Boss, our forces are in a great situation right now…”

“Great situation?”

Victor interrupted him, his voice very calm, “Prices domestically have increased by forty percent. Europe’s embargo has started to shut down factories.”

He stopped walking, looking at Casare: “War is never just about the guns on the frontline, it’s about money, grain, and the patience of the common people. We’ve defeated an Italian brigade, that’s good, but NATO still has the British, French, Germans, Polish… They could send ten more brigades here. And what about us? Our soldiers will tire, ammunition will dwindle, and the patience of the people will reach its limit.”

Casare remained silent.

“Therefore, we must sit at the negotiation table while we still have bargaining chips.” Victor continued walking forward, “The collapse of the Italians is our bargaining chip, show it to those European politicians, see how many more sons they want to send to fill the North American pit. Also, show the people in the US who are observing, that the ‘Freedom Alliance’ and their NATO friends aren’t so reliable.”

“Then what terms do we want to discuss?”

“Ceasefire.” Victor said, “Offer everyone a way out. NATO needs time to reassess, we need time to stabilize domestically, the Americans can do whatever they want. As for the specific conditions, let the Foreign Ministry worry about them. But the core is only one thing: Mexico’s vested interests, not one inch less. California, Texas, New Mexico, always ours. Indiana? We can negotiate, but must do so under conditions advantageous to us.”

Casare nodded: “I understand. And the photos of the Italian bodies…”

“Send them out. Tonight.”

Victor walked up the steps, returning to the corridor of the palace, “Let the whole world see the consequences of following NATO to become cannon fodder in North America. Especially in Italy, let them take a good look, their sons, husbands, fathers died far away for whom.”

He took the towel Casare handed him, wiping the sand from his hands.

Victor said softly, “Sometimes it’s a victory on the battlefield, sometimes it’s a victory on the newspaper headlines.”

May 12, 1996, 7:30 PM.

Mexican National Television’s (TNM) “The Nation and the People” news program began promptly.

This is Mexico’s highest-rated news program, hosted by Maria Fernandez, known for her calm demeanor.

After the opening music, Maria appeared on screen.

Today, she wore a dark suit, looking more serious than usual.

“Good evening. First let’s report important war news.” She looked directly at the camera, “The Department of Defense officially confirmed today, that during the defensive operations in Southern Indiana, our army successfully wiped out the main force of the NATO Allied Army’s Italian Brigade.”

The screen cut to battlefield footage: burning armored vehicles’ wreckage, scattered weapons, Mexican soldiers marching through the smoke. The camera was steady, clearly taken by professional embedded reporters.

“The following images may be discomforting, viewers please watch at your discretion.” Maria’s voice continued.

The footage switched.

A body dressed in Italian military uniform lay at the edge of a cornfield. The camera zoomed in, the rank clearly visible: Colonel. The body’s face was turned to one side, bloodied on the forehead, eyes half-open. The chest of the military uniform bore a name: L. BERTOLINI.

The footage lingered for a full five seconds.

Then it cut back to the broadcast studio.

Maria’s face remained calm: “The Italian Brigade Commander Colonel Luca Bertolini has been confirmed dead. According to the international rules of war conventions, we have notified the Italian side through the Red Cross. In this operation, our army captured 137 enemy soldiers, they will be treated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.”

She paused: “The Official Residence released a brief statement tonight, reiterating Mexico’s self-defensive counterattack legitimacy, and urged NATO countries to recognize the reality and cease meaningless military adventurism. The full statement will be released in the special program that follows.”

The footage transitioned to the weather forecast. But at this moment, millions of families watching TV remained silent.

Mexico City, Coyoacan District, a regular two-story small building.

In the living room, an old Sony TV was playing the news.

At the dining table, a family of four was having dinner.
