Breaking News! Brazil Declares War on Argentina!
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this breaking news.
Analysts suspected it was coming. It was unlikely the Brazil would stand for Argentina’s invasion of Paraguay, which it considered a vital buffer state.
In a speech made by the Brazilian President to Congress
“It is my dearest regret that I must ask Congress to declare war upon the Socialists Regime of Argentina. They have launched an unprovoked attack on the Republic of Paraguay with an announcement that Paraguay had been supplying rebels in Argentina and had no substantial evidence to back it up. Their wave of aggression will not end at Paraguay, their atrocities are too numerous to mention, and they have inflicted around 30 thousand civilian casualties and have destroyed the homes of many. The Infantry Division going on trial is but a mere farce, to put all the blame on the lowly infantrymen and not the ones on the top. If we do nothing, the Red Menace that is Argentina, and I once more will consume all of South America reiterate. I ask Congress to declare war upon the Socialists Regime of Argentina.”
Congress authorized a declaration of war to “liberate Paraguay and neutralize the threat of Argentina to Brazil.
The Argentine embassy is Brasilia was seized and ambassadors held hostages. Brazilian ambassadors in Argentina.
The war started with an audacious naval campaign launched by Brazil. Submarines traveled down Parana River toward the Argentine capital. The Argentines were on high alert having suspected a Brazilian attack but they were surprised to find submarines. The attack came before dawn and there was little the Argentines could do against submarines.
The Argentine battleships were patrolling near the coast when the first torpedo streaked through the water and slammed into a ship. Many Argentine battleships were lost while the submarines were unscathed.
This attack was followed up with the entire Brazilian Navy sailing out to sea and engaging the Argentine fleet outside Buenos Aries. A fierce naval battle ensued with ships trading fire and shells crashing into the ocean sending huge jets of water into the air. Casualties were heavy on both sides and our South American correspondent who was in Buenos Aries covering the unification has managed to take these images.
The battle lasted until after dawn at which point the Brazilian submarines had resupplied and returned and were able to wipe out most of the Argentine fleet. The remaining ships retreated further south.
Having secured the seas the airborne phase of the operation was launched. air wings attacked at low altitudes trying to avoid detection. Fortifications in and around Buenos Aries were struck and scenes reminiscent of the bombing of Paraguay occurred.
Then 80,000 troops poured across the border crossing the river with motorboats. Argentine fortifications were attacked and fierce infantry battles occurred at the border. The Argentines had been well prepared for a Brazilian attack and in some places hand-to-hand fighting occurred. Brazil had superior numbers and airpower but the Argentines were fighting for their homeland. Every single Argentine soldier fought fanatically to the last man.
Having broken through Argentine defenses at the border Brazilian forces circled around at attacked Buenos Aries from the rear catching the Argentines off guard. However they quickly overcame their surprise and street battles occurred once again reminiscent of Paraguay.
The Argentines were feeling particularly bloody-minded and obstinate and the Brazilians were forced to fight for every street and building. In the end it was Brazilian airpower that won the day. The Argentine air force had all been stationed in Paraguay and was unable to lend its support. Forces from Chile could not reach in time either and as a result the Brazilian air force was free to reduce entire streets to rubble where it was suspected Argentine troops were hiding.
Buenos Aries fell but just barely the Brazilians were by the skin of their teeth.
Forces from the south were called up and began traveling as fast as possible to reach the front. However due to lack of instructions they simply stopped at forward bases and are awaiting orders on how to proceed. The Brazilian forces on this front are mostly exhausted and need reinforcements to push any further or hold the territory against an Argentine counter- attack.
The air wings took off from airbases and crossed into Argentine occupied Paraguay supplemented by infantry and tank divisions advancing on the capital.
The entire Argentine air force was based in Paraguay and on high alert. The Brazilian aircrafts were immediately detected and Argentine planes scrambled to deal with them.
Massive air battles took place over the skies of Paraguay. Both were equally matched in numbers and the dogfights turned into a slugfest as missile streaked through the skies. Large amounts of planes on both sides were lost but in the end it was the Argentines that won due to their closer bases and faster resupply forcing the Brazilian planes to retreat unable to break Argentine airpower in the region. The high state of readiness of the Argentines clearly won the day as well.
The Brazilian ground forces lacked any air cover and air support and were free to attack by Argentine planes.
The remaining Brazilian forces attempted to outflank Asuncion but quickly came into contact with the Argentines. Vicious fighting ground battles involving tanks and infantry occurred which brought scenes of World War II to the minds of many. The fighting was bloody with no quarter. The Brazilian advance into Argentine occupied Paraguay was halted.
The Brazilians broadcast radio messages ordering people to stay at home so they would be safe. At the same time the Argentines were launching a propaganda campagain in Paraguay to promote their rule.
At this point all seems quiet with neither side making a move. In both Brazil and Argentina the recruiting stations are overrun with volunteers willing to fight. However the Argentine people are more nationalistic and are up in arms over the Brazilian invasion. The Brazilian embassy in Argentina is looted but found empty.
Who would have thought that WWIII might start in South America? Very few no doubts but it looks as if that might be the case.
“As all of you know Argentina is a socialist country while Brazil is a democracy. Both have fought wars before and both are rivals for regional power in South America. The recent Argentine invasion of Paraguay upset that balance of power removing a nation Brazil considered a vital buffer state. As a result Brazil has intervened, however the major mistake they made is that they didn’t go in with enough strength. In all major battles fought so far in the war Brazilian and Argentine numbers were more or less equal. For any decisive war to be fought one side must have greater strength than the other side.
Currently both Brazil and Argentina are more or less matched. Even with the amalgamation of Chile into Argentina the overall power balance has not changed that much. Both countries can invade each other but it is likely neither will get very far. So if the war is restrained to just Argentina and Brazil there is no danger. However it is very likely that the USA will lend its support to Brazil, which in turn means NATO, may get involved. China too could get involved turning this into a very dangerous situation”
frankly I must say I never expected this. What do you think will happen next? Something must be done before it spirals out of control.
Chile is a free-market, democratic country, why does it support evil Argentina's invasion? 
It's clearly an April Fools!
