Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

At noon on August 15, 1945, Benzi Guo Tianhuang, who was living a good life, officially announced his unconditional surrender.

Fang Lang waited in front of the radio early to witness this historic moment. After listening to the speech of Guizi Tianhuang on the radio, Fang Lang looked at his hometown in the west of Okinawa and was speechless for a long time.

Although the United States had agreed to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force's participation in the occupation of Japan, Fang Lang was very clear at the time that what the Americans wanted was to control Japan alone.

Instead of having part of it occupied by the Allies like Germany.

Therefore, the United States has already clearly stipulated that the United States bears the main responsibility for providing the occupying forces, and the commander-in-chief of the occupying forces and his subordinate commanders should be Americans.

After Japan announced its surrender, the U.S. government directly appointed MacArthur as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan. This order made the Soviet Union very angry and demanded that this position should be held by Vasilevsky and MacArthur.

It was directly rejected by the United States, and it was clearly stipulated that Germany would not engage in Germany's multinational partition occupation policy in Japan. In fact, it was clarified that Japan would be occupied by the United States alone.

However, in order to make its appearance less ugly, the U.S. government also agreed that the allies could send troops to Japan, but they must obey the unified command of MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan.

Such a request is of course nothing to a young guy like the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

As the main force of the Allies, this was absolutely unacceptable to the Soviet Union. It knew that the Americans just wanted to bring people in to share the military expenses of the garrison, but they could not implement the management of the occupied areas.

This thankless task was directly rejected by the Soviet government.

Of course, the British government has already handed over the command of the Pacific Fleet to the United States, so it doesn't matter.

As the main force against Japan, the national government was also invited by the United States to garrison troops in Japan. However, at this time, the national government was busy seizing territory in the country, so it had no time to pay attention.

In the later period, in order to reduce the economic pressure on garrisoning troops in Japan, the United States repeatedly requested the government to station troops in Japan. Unfortunately, the government did not have the ability to transport troops to Japan.

Nor was it able to afford the military expenses of the troops stationed in Japan. It wanted the U.S. government to bear the burden, but the U.S. government was unwilling, and it turned into an endless wrangling.

It was not until the United States finally agreed to provide equipment and supplies for the garrison that Chiang Kai-shek agreed to send the Honorable Second Division, which had participated in the Burma War, to Japan in August 1946.

However, due to the civil war provoked by Chiang Kai-shek, this unit was unable to make the trip, and was eventually wiped out on the Huaihai battlefield.

From the beginning to the end, Fang Lang never thought about stationing troops in Japan for a long time. He came here to make a fortune, not to gain territory. Therefore, the interests that big countries need to consider have nothing to do with him.

He also doesn’t want to really station troops in Japan to work for Americans like Australia and New Zealand.

On August 28, the first batch of U.S. Marines landed in Yokosuka, and then 150,000 U.S. troops occupied the entire territory of Japan and began to occupy Japan in the name of the Allied occupation forces.

At 9 a.m. on September 2, Japan formally signed the surrender agreement, and World War II was officially declared over.

On September 5th, Fang Lang received an order from the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Forces in Japan and went to station in Osaka. More than 20 days had passed since Japan announced its surrender.

It has been a week since the US military actually landed in Japan. It can be seen from this that the US's so-called joint occupation of Japan by its allies is a joke.

Within a week, the good stuff has already been carved up by you Americans.

After two days of sailing, Fang Lang led the House and Hope, as well as the two supply ships, to Osaka.

When Fang Lang got off the boat and stepped onto the land of Osaka, Fang Lang's heart was full of mixed feelings that were simply indescribable.

Later, Fang Lang set foot in Osaka countless times, and even knew many of Osaka's custom areas, no, scenic spots.

But it was a completely different mood than when I landed in Japan with my troops.

Standing there and looking at the dilapidated, almost scorched Osaka, Fang Lang suddenly burst out laughing.

I laughed for almost three minutes, until tears came out of my eyes before I finally yelled:

"Bad little Japan, are you ready? I'm here."

After saying that, in front of a group of incomprehensible subordinates, he strode directly into downtown Osaka.

Osaka at this time was in real ruins, and it was basically difficult to see complete buildings. Japanese people in ragged clothes were everywhere.

It's a pity that these people can't show even a trace of mercy in Fang Lang's eyes. If they hadn't started this war themselves, how could there have been the consequences today!

At this time, many places in the country are more difficult than them, and the people are more pitiful than them. Fang Lang is not in the mood to care about their life and death.

As we get deeper and deeper into downtown Osaka, everyone finally begins to see the occasional buildings with reinforced concrete structures.

Japan is a country in the volcanic belt, so earthquakes are very frequent. Most of the buildings in Japan are low wooden buildings, and wooden buildings are easy to catch fire, so they basically cannot survive a bombing.

As long as this kind of reinforced concrete building is not hit directly, there is basically no need to worry about damage, so it can survive strongly.

Originally, the US military asked the Brazilian Expeditionary Force to be stationed together with the US military, but Fang Lang refused. He came here to make a fortune. How can he make a fortune under the eyes of you Americans all day long!

Soon, the advance team in front of him came over to report that they had found a suitable place for their base.

This is a relatively well-preserved school. When Fang Lang and others arrived here, a group of students were blocking the door, preventing the advance team from entering.

Fang Lang walked around outside the school, and it turned out to be a very ideal place to stay. The school has a complete wall. He only needs to set up a guard box at the school gate, and there is a closed space inside. There is a playground for training, and the classrooms and dormitories are basically maintained.

Complete.

What else is there to say? It’s simply tailor-made. You don’t have to live in a tent anymore.

If you come early, you may have to accept surrender, and you may be able to live in a Japanese military camp.

However, the U.S. military entered Osaka and surrendered a week ago. The military camp is where American soldiers are stationed. If Fang Lang doesn't want to be stationed with them, of course he needs to find another place to station.

Since he thought the place was good, Fang Lang went directly to the door blocked by students.

A group of unarmed students are confronting the soldiers of the Brazilian Marine Advance Team. Obviously, they are not allowed to requisition the school.

Fang Lang smiled, these students are a little ignorant of current affairs! But it is understandable if you think about it. After all, the Japanese people have been educated by Japanese militarism for many years, and it is normal that they cannot accept the fact of surrender.

Thinking about what the Japanese soldiers had done at home, Fang Lang's face darkened. He asked Zhuang Xintian, the second lieutenant and platoon leader of the advance team:

"What's going on?"

Zhuang Xintian is another brother who has participated in expeditions with him. Because he likes the front-line troops, when he and Qi Qingshan were assigned to the First Fleet, he chose to join the Marine Corps.

Now he is a second lieutenant platoon leader in the Marine Corps.

"Sir, these students are blocking our way and preventing us from entering the school."

Fang Lang asked calmly:

"What did they say? Did they identify themselves?"

Zhuang Xintian was stunned and said with some embarrassment:

"Sir, we don't understand what they are saying."

Fang Lang glared and cursed angrily:

"Don't you understand? I don't understand. How do you know they are students? Damn it, didn't you see they were wearing uniforms? These are the rebels, arrest them all."

The Japanese school uniforms of this period were all uniform shirts, trousers and jackets, which were actually somewhat similar to the uniforms of the Japanese army. Of course Fang Lang knew that they were students, but he would not tolerate their problems.

Hearing Fang Lang's words, all the soldiers of the expeditionary force rushed forward without hesitation to arrest these students. Of course, the students would not just let them go.

Then a fierce conflict broke out. These soldiers would not show mercy to the Japanese who dared to resist. They would directly greet them with bayonets and rifle butts.

These students are all junior high school students. Although they are no match for the Brazilian soldiers, everyone knows that young people are very impulsive, and they do not take lightly when fighting.

Soon some students rushed into the classroom and took out the firearms used in militaristic education in schools.

Seeing that these students actually had guns, Fang Lang was also stunned. He didn't expect that the school actually had guns.

But when both parties in the conflict had guns, they thought the conflict would escalate.

Sure enough, before Fang Lang could say anything, the soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force opened fire, and the students who took the guns for the first time were shot dead.

The students who were still fighting hand-to-hand at the door stopped when they heard the gunfire.

The soldiers of the expeditionary force who were just greeting each other with rifle butts and bayonets all loaded their bullets and opened the safety. The slightest movement would be a massacre.

Although Fang Lang hated the Japanese, he never thought about killing these students. He was just prepared to teach them a lesson.

Unexpectedly, there were guns in the school.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the students finally calmed down.

Fang Lang noticed middle-aged men, about forty years old, limping out of the school.

Looking at his legs, Fang Lang immediately judged that they were retired wounded soldiers.

This idiot kept hiding behind and watching a group of junior high school students clashing with the army in front, but he didn't come out to stop them.

Now there are casualties among the students, and they are limping with an angry look on their face, chattering and barking!

When Fang Lang saw this situation, his anger immediately rose, and he raised his hand and shot without even thinking.

The lame middle-aged man who was croaking just now covered his chest with one hand, looked at Fang Lang with an expression of disbelief, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

Then, he fell face down with a bang, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

The students gathered at the door were making another commotion.

However, this time they did not resist, but took a step back.
