Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 500

  Chapter 500 The Navy Requests a Battle

   Only the Minister of the Air Force flickered after hearing what General Crook said.

  Originally, his first reaction was whether General Crook wanted to cheat his brother Fang, but soon he realized something was wrong. After all, he knew very well that General Crook and Fang Lang had a close relationship.

   Moreover, now that the other party is asking for a battle on behalf of the navy, if he fails, the impact on him, the Minister of the Navy, will not be small. There's absolutely no need for him to get burned.

  So, this is obviously the result of joint discussions between General Crook and Fang Lang.

  So what was the reason that made Fang Lang agree to take the initiative to take on this job that would cause trouble if he was not careful under such circumstances?

  Looking at General Crook opposite, Major General Nero Mora had some guesses in his heart.

   I have to say that Lieutenant General Crook is an old fritter. He didn't say how long it would take for the Marine Corps to eliminate the rebels.

  In this case, even if the Marine Corps fails in action, it will not be severely punished.

   Marshal Morais looked at General Crook seriously for a while, and when he saw that everyone in the Ministry of War was silent, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

   "General Crook, do you know that there is no joke in the army."

  General Crook looked at Marshal Morais with a serious face and said:

   "Please rest assured, Marshal, I am a soldier, so I naturally understand the truth that the army has no jokes.

  Here, on behalf of Rear Admiral Fang Lang of the Rio de Janeiro Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Navy, I formally invite you to fight.

   Major General Fang Lang led the troops to carry out the task of suppressing the rebels of Brother Eddie. "

  Marshal Morais didn't mention the topic of giving the army time to rest, and General Crook didn't mention it again. Everyone knew very well that this was just General Crook's euphemism for the sake of the army's face.

  Of course, this is not without risk. After all, if the Army is given time to rest and recuperate, if the Navy performs too well, it is possible for the Army to stand up and pick peaches.

   Unfortunately, in Fang Lang's plan, he was never prepared to turn his actions into a protracted battle.

  Hearing General Crook's reconfirmation, Marshal Morais did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to the army generals in the conference room.

   It seems that he wants to see from the generals of the army whether anyone has any objections.

   But the result disappointed him. When his eyes swept over the army generals present, everyone lowered their heads subconsciously, unwilling to look at General Morais.

   Obviously, everyone is unwilling to take over this hot potato at this time.

   Seeing this, Marshal Morais no longer hesitated, and said to General Crook:

   "Since the Marine Corps took the initiative to ask for a fight, and no one else has any objections, then on behalf of the Ministry of National Defense, I agree to your application for a fight.

   Formally appointed Rear Admiral Fang Lang of the Navy as the commander-in-chief of the front line, leading the Marine Corps under his command, to be responsible for the mission of clearing the Eddie Brothers' rebel forces.

  However, let's talk about the ugly words first, you only have two weeks, if you can't achieve results within two weeks, both you and General Fang will be punished. Understand? "

  Hearing the words, General Crook stood up without saying a word, stood at attention solemnly and saluted:

   "Yes, Your Excellency General!"

  For a while, everyone in the conference room had different eyes, and they all focused on the Minister of the Navy who took the initiative. Apparently, everyone didn't understand why he was full and made trouble for himself.

   General Crook, who had achieved his goal, didn't care about everyone's reaction. After the meeting ended, Fang Lang was notified of the news as soon as possible.

   All the generals who left the conference room were talking about it. Everyone felt that the navy was a little over its own strength. The army's 5,000-man failed encirclement and suppression operation, the navy wanted to rely on its own 2,500-man marine corps to complete it.

  This is simply a fantasy.

   While everyone was still discussing how long it would take for the navy to assemble, Fang Lang, who was far away in Para State, received an official order from General Crook, and immediately ordered the whole army to move out!

  One day and night, 2,500 members of the Marine Corps appeared directly at the newly expanded front-line field airport by airlift.

  Fang Lang's headquarters is also directly set up at the front-line airport.

   When Major General Walter Wesker, who received the news, rushed to the front-line field airport, he saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.

  The original small field airport with only two reconnaissance planes has expanded into a huge airport with three runways and nearly fifty aircraft parked.

  The supplies and oil transport vehicles coming and going in and out of the warehouse next to the airport are very lively.

  Field tents were neatly set up outside the airport, and teams of soldiers gathered neatly beside the transport plane that had just landed.

   From time to time, soldiers lined up neatly walked towards their respective barracks.

  The speed of this collection and deployment, and the well-trained temperament of the Marine Corps really surprised him. He thought that he was also a veteran of the European War and had seen all the powerful armies of the world's major powers.

  The Marine Corps in front of him was indeed too unexpected for him.

   Just a casual glance, he was sure that the fighting power of these soldiers should not be underestimated, both in terms of mental outlook and quality of soldiers, they were somewhat superior to the army troops under him.

   This made him, who has always regarded himself as an elite, blush slightly.

  Under the leadership of the guards, Major General Walter Wesker arrived outside Fang Lang's command department unimpeded.

   This is a huge field tent with two huge tents spliced ​​together. Several huge communication antennas are erected high on the top of the tent. There is a lively beeping sound from the tent, which is the sound of the radio station working.

  At the same time, the voices of soldiers coming from inside from time to time also informed everyone that the place is busy.

  A major officer standing at the door waiting saw Major General Walter Wesker and his party, and quickly stood at attention and saluted:

   "Your Excellency, General, I am Major Qi Qingshan, General Fang's adjutant. I have just received a report from the reconnaissance plane and suspected that the rebels have been found. General Fang is inside to understand the situation. Please forgive me for not being able to go out to meet him in person."

  Major General Walter Wesker, who considered himself the defeated general, didn't have much of an opinion about Fang Lang not coming out to meet him. After all, the two were not familiar with each other.

   Except that Fang Lang took the initiative to come to the door some time ago, saying that he would send his own reconnaissance plane to help him search for traces of the rebels, this is the second time the two have met.

  After casually returning a military salute, Major General Walter Wesker smiled indifferently and said:

   "It's okay, military affairs are important, take me to meet General Fang!"

   He was still a little curious about what Qi Qingshan said that the reconnaissance plane found traces of the rebels. After all, they had lost track of the rebels since they jumped out of his encirclement.

  Even though Fang Lang sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to help him search, there was no trace of the other party.

   Now as soon as Fang Lang officially took over, the reconnaissance plane found out immediately, and it was impossible for him to think about it.

  Seeing this, Qi Qingshan nodded and said no more. He directly led Major General Wotai Wesker into the headquarters, passed through the busy communication area outside, and entered the tent inside.

  Major General Walter Wesker saw a large map hanging on the wall facing the outside, and an officer really marked something on it in front of the map.

  In the middle of the tent is a huge conference table, and a group of military officers are discussing something around the conference table at the moment.

  Major General Walter Wesker stretched his head over and took a look, and found that there were several photos, which seemed to be the latest photos taken by the reconnaissance plane.

  He is not surprised by this, after all, the reconnaissance plane he asked the Air Force to support will also bring back the photos of the suspected target they took.

  At this moment, Fang Lang is holding a photo in his left hand and observing carefully with a magnifying glass in his right hand.

  Beside him was a major officer, pointing to a position on the photo, explaining something to Fang Lang.

  Maybe it was from the corner of the eye that he spotted Major General Wotta Wesker. Fang Lang quickly handed the photo in his hand to the major officer next to him, stretched out his right hand, and took two quick steps to meet Major General Wotai Wesker.

   "General Wesker, I'm really sorry! I just received the report from the reconnaissance plane and found traces of suspected rebels, so I couldn't welcome you in time. I hope you don't mind."

  Major General Walter Wesker stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, and said politely to Fang Lang:

   "General Fang is too polite, I thank you for taking the initiative to act before it's too late! Why would you mind?

   I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to tell me where the rebels are now! "

  Now that Fang Lang has officially taken over the command of the front line, he certainly doesn't mind telling Major General Walter Wesker the whereabouts of the enemy. After all, the major general in front of him is not incompetent.

  The failure of this siege, in fact, cannot be completely blamed on him. Besides, this major general is unlikely to be a spy of the enemy, so there is no need to hide it from him.

  However, he would not tell the other party how the naval aviation reconnaissance plane confirmed the traces of the rebels.

  Because they confirmed the position of the rebels, they actually confirmed it through their internal response within the rebels, and made a special mark in the open location of the tropical rainforest-a huge triangle.

   It is impossible for Fang Lang to tell anyone that he has already sent his own internal response to the rebel army.

"No problem at all!"

   As he said, Fang Lang led Major General Walter Wesker directly to the huge map facing the door, and pointed to the position of the officer mark who was marking in front of the map:

   "According to the situation detected by our reconnaissance plane this morning, the rebels have crossed the Yapra River and entered the tropical rainforest south of the Yapra River."

   This answer surprised Major General Walter Wesker.

   "What? How did they get across the Yapra River."

  Major General Walter Wesker was not surprised. At the beginning, he captured all the transport ships of the rebels. Logically speaking, the rebels would not be able to cross the Yapra River.

  Although the Yapra River is only a tributary of the Amazon River, it is also an important tributary, connecting the water channel between Colombia and Brazil. The width of the river is not easy to cross.

   It is precisely because of this consideration that he has never ordered a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance on the south bank of the Yapra River.

   Of course Fang Lang knew what Major General Walter Wesker was thinking in his heart, but he knew that there was support behind the rebels, so he would not limit his thinking.

   Since Major General Walter Wesker commanded the reconnaissance plane to conduct a long-term reconnaissance on the north bank, and found no trace of the rebels, he immediately turned his attention to the south bank of the Yapra River.

   Sure enough, as he expected, the reconnaissance plane quickly found the special mark left by him in the rebel army on the south bank.

"I have no way of knowing how they crossed the Yapra River, but what I can be sure of now is that the reason we have not found each other for so long is because they jumped from under our noses to Yapra River. South bank of the river."

Fang Lang believes that Major General Walter Wesker is not a fool, and it is impossible not to notice the anomalies within the government, not to mention that Brisso Eddie's identity is well known throughout the country. If he still doesn't understand what happened , it would be impossible for him to climb to where he is today.

   It's not certain, as early as when he first took over the encirclement and suppression mission, he had already prepared himself for this situation. Otherwise, why did the opponent keep resisting the pressure of the government in the early stage and adopt the cage tactics of pressing every step of the way?
