Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 514

  Chapter 514 Celebration Banquet

  As the instigator of this incident, Fang Lang felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, it was more than 2,000 lives.

  But he quickly adjusted his mentality, because he also cleared obstacles for the survival of the Chinese. These primitive aborigines who have experienced rebellion and are in the border area are actually not easy people.

   Directly sending Chinese compatriots to this hostile environment is likely to cause a large number of casualties to their compatriots, which Fang Lang absolutely does not want to see.

  But Fang Lang still had to stand up and condemn the army's credit-grabbing behavior, otherwise someone might discover his sinister intentions.

  So, Fang Lang made a direct phone call to the Secretary of the Navy, General Crook.

I learned from the captives that there might be rebels hiding in the two towns, but because the captives died, I couldn't confirm whether the information was true, so I had to follow the captives' instructions to find out who might exist and be in charge of arranging the hidden rebel officers. .

   I was short of manpower, so I reminded the army to help stabilize the situation in the town.

   As a result, the army directly condemned the two towns for their strong attack.

   Express strong dissatisfaction with the army's indiscriminate attack on innocent townspeople for the sake of storming.

   Soon General Crook brought the lawsuit to the Minister of Defense, Marshal Morais. After learning what had happened, Marshal Morais called the Minister of the Army to him for questioning.

   Was flatly denied by the Minister of the Army, and made it clear that the local Army garrison had discovered the fact that the rebels were hidden in the town long before General Fang reminded them.

   He was preparing to lure the enemy out after paralyzing the rebels by withdrawing troops, but General Fang aroused the vigilance of the rebels when he visited the town of Bittenkot, and the army had to take coercive measures against the residents in the town.

   I didn't expect to encounter strong resistance from the enemies hidden in the small town.

  As for the number of suspected rebels proposed by the Ministry of the Navy, there were less than 1,000 people, but more than 2,000 townspeople died, most of whom were innocent. The Army even directly stated that the Navy's intelligence was wrong.

  In the end, no one cares about the real situation.

   Instead, the lawsuits between the navy and the army were raging, and Fang Lang, the instigator, quietly retreated behind the scenes, arranging for his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then began to withdraw in an orderly manner.

   It wasn't until Fang Lang's army withdrew to the Natal Naval Base that the lawsuit between the army and the navy was completely over.

  The final opinion of the Ministry of National Defense was not as expected by Fang Lang. Both the army and the army were credited at the same time. The army got its wish in this operation to encircle and suppress the rebels, and got its own credit, so that it would not be so embarrassing to lose.

  Who cares about the casualties of the residents of the two small towns?

  In order to further consolidate their own achievements, it is confirmed that there are a large number of rebels in the town. The Army adopted coercive and coercive measures in two small towns, and residents who were slightly abnormal would be arrested and executed.

   And prohibit local residents from possessing lethal weapons.

   When the matter was over, after the two small towns were ravaged by government troops and rebels in turn, the number of soldiers and civilians dropped to one-tenth of the original, and most of them were old, weak, women and children.

  In order to restore local order as soon as possible, after the proposal of the National League representative, about 5,000 people were transferred from the newly naturalized immigrants to fill in the two towns.

   This proposal was quickly approved by most members of Congress. In order to persuade new immigrants to settle in the local area, the government proposed a series of preferential policies and allowed new immigrants to form a militia self-defense force to prevent remnant rebel attacks.

   Soon, more than 5,000 Chinese immigrants took the initiative to stand up and apply to settle in the two towns, and the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily.

   Fang Lang, who had already escaped from this incident, hid in the Natal Naval Base and led the naval special tactics research team to start researching real naval special tactics.

  Such as underwater blasting, underwater infiltration, capture of enemy ships, etc., and even the Natal Naval Base as a target to study infiltration tactics.

   And determined irregular tactical exercises with the Marine Corps, naval bases, and naval warships, and the time was busy and fulfilling.

This kind of actual combat exercise, which constantly looks for loopholes on both sides to attack, has also greatly improved the actual combat capabilities of Fang Lang's various units, especially the naval special tactics research team. .

  The entire Natal Naval Base was deeply shocked. Because of confidentiality, many officers knew that their fleet had such a mysterious special force, but they only heard the name but never saw the end.

  The more mysterious the unit, the more attractive it is. Therefore, when the team members were selected in the later period, the number of applicants increased sharply, and it was no longer limited to the Marine Corps. Even many officers of naval ships signed up one after another.

Of course, this is something.

   The reason why Fang Lang hid silently back to the naval base was actually to reduce his sense of existence. After all, he had just led the navy to achieve such a brilliant record.

   It also caused a battle between the navy and the army. If you continue to make a high profile at this time, you may become the target of public criticism.

Although Fang Lang chose to keep a low profile, of course such a great military exploit must be rewarded on merit. One month after the entire army withdrew to the Natal Naval Base, Fang Lang led his meritorious soldiers to take a special plane to Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil. To the Ministry of Defense to accept the commendation.

  Since Fang Lang himself was responsible for drafting the list of meritorious officers and men, this promotion and award were basically carried out according to Fang Lang's wishes.

   Naturally, officers at all levels of the Marine Corps will benefit the most. Several battalion commanders have become lieutenant colonel officers, and Lieutenant Colonel Duarte, the Marine Corps commander that Fang Lang booked, was promoted to the rank of colonel.

  The cadet pilots who participated in the operation were all awarded a medal, and other officers at all levels were also promoted accordingly.

  As for the nominal commander of the Marine Corps, Colonel Valdo Granma, he received a medal as a reward.

  The supreme commander of the entire battle, Fang Lang also won the highest honor medal.

  At the same time, the Ministry of National Defense also officially approved the expansion of the size of the Marine Corps belonging to the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group to 5,000 people and ten battalion-level establishments.

  In Fang Lang's view, this is the real benefit.

  The army also got a little credit for clearing out the rebels in the two small towns, and some officers were promoted.

   But compared to the navy, it is really not enough.

   Despite this, at the celebration dinner organized by the Ministry of National Defense in the evening, several generals of the army took the initiative to find Fang Lang.

   "General Fang, congratulations!"

  An army general who seemed to have drunk too much blushed, and said to Fang Lang carelessly.

   Glancing at the other party, he noticed that the other party had the same rank of major general as himself on his shoulder. Fang Lang smiled slightly, and politely raised the wine glass in his hand and responded:

"grateful!"

  The flushed general also raised his glass in response, and after drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, he let out a long breath of foul air.

   "General Fang, I heard that your navy has built a professional jungle warfare training camp in the Amazon rainforest for this operation, is that true?"

  Although the other party was a little drunk, he still spoke in a very orderly manner and did not show any hostility. Therefore, Fang Lang did not refuse to communicate with the other party.

   smiled and nodded:

   "There is such a thing. If the general is interested, you are welcome to visit us at any time."

   At this time, the general seemed to realize that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and quickly pointed to himself and said:

   "Sorry, General Fang, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tabio Mike. I am now the commander of the Sixth Division of the National Defense Forces, and I am stationed in Kukuy, Amazonas.

   It happened to be in the dense Amazon rainforest, and my troops happened to be exploring jungle warfare tactics. I didn't expect to get results yet, but I heard that your Marine Corps has built a jungle warfare training camp in Para state.

   And the Ministry of Defense intends to let us army troops go to your training camp for professional jungle warfare training.

   So I'm a little curious. "

  The Amazon state that Major General Tabio Mike mentioned is the state where the rebels are located. It is located in the northwest of Brazil, borders Venezuela and Colombia, and belongs to the Amazon rainforest.

  And this city of Kukuy is a small city at the junction of the three countries of Amazonas, Colombia and Venezuela, located in the northwest of the Neblina National Forest Park in Brazil.

   What is surprising is that this guy's self-introduction didn't seem to mean to compete with himself, but instead he felt annoyed that he was a step behind.

  Especially after knowing that the opponent's base is in the Amazon state where the rebels are located, and they are still studying the jungle warfare, Fang Lang suddenly asked strangely:

   "Hey! Since Major General Tabio Mike's Sixth Division is stationed in Amazonas, why didn't your army join the operation to suppress the rebels this time?"

  Fang Lang asked this not to tease the other party, but really felt a little strange.

  As far as Fang Lang knows, the troops that the army transferred to the front to encircle and suppress the rebels this time were elite troops that had participated in the European War and were drawn from the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil.

  Since the Amazon state already has troops adapted to jungle warfare, why didn't they deploy troops directly from the Amazon state instead of moving thousands of miles away?

   Officially felt strange, so Fang Lang blurted out boldly.

   After hearing Fang Lang's words, Major General Tabio Mike gave a wry smile with embarrassment and said:

"Our Sixth Division originally belonged to the National Guard. It was upgraded to a division-level unit after the European War. We are still a second-line force in terms of personnel and equipment. It is normal that the Ministry of National Defense does not trust our combat effectiveness. .”

  As soon as Fang Lang said this, Fang Lang understood what the other party meant. Obviously, this was a second-line unit that was not very popular with the Ministry of the Army. It had neither participated in the European War nor had any outstanding achievements.

  Considering that the opponent's base is located deep in the Amazon jungle, it is estimated that the new equipment and heavy equipment must not be suitable for them, so it is understandable not to transfer them to participate in the war.

   But Fang Lang felt in his heart that although this second-line force stationed in the Amazon rainforest for a long time did not have heavy equipment such as tanks and cannons, it might really surprise people in terms of jungle warfare capabilities.

   After all, there is no space for heavy weapons such as tanks and cannons in the jungle. Instead, light infantry is the most suitable unit to survive in the jungle.

   Fang Lang, who wanted to understand the meaning of the other party's wry smile, smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"Jungle warfare is not the same as the big corps battle in the minds of the big figures in the Ministry of War. General Tabio Mac doesn't have to worry at all. I believe that the losses suffered by the rebels this time will definitely be absorbed by the big men of the Ministry of War." lesson.

  After they truly understand the true meaning of jungle warfare, I think your sixth division will be able to stand out immediately. "

  Major General Tabio Mike obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to say this to him, and his face, which was already flushed from drinking, became even redder.

   Looking at Fang Lang, unconsciously, there was a kind of gratitude for being recognized.
