Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Seeing that there was no chance to get the credit for wiping out the rebels through Major General Walter Wesker, the generals in the Army Department looked very annoyed, and they no longer looked at each other with pity.

Major General Walter Wesker didn't mind this, he just sat there quietly, waiting for everyone's arrangements.

Lieutenant General Humberto Alder, the Secretary of the Army, was really confused when he saw the other party. He wanted to go up and kick him, but he was really unwilling to give up such an opportunity. In the end, he couldn't help but ask:

"Then do you know anything about their action plan and process?"

Major General Walter Wesker was completely disheartened and unwilling to say anything more here, so this time he simply chose to shut up and shook his head slightly, indicating that he was completely unaware.

Everyone in the office saw that there was really no chance. Although they were all beating their chests, there was nothing they could do.

At this time, in the Office of the Minister of Defense, Navy Minister General Crook was also discussing with Marshal Morais the specific tactics used by Fang Lang.

"After all, it was a veteran who had participated in the European War that actually made him think of the tactic of directly using bomber groups to conduct large-scale bombings.

Not bad, not bad."

Marshal Moraes took the action report handed over by Lieutenant General Crook that he had just read, and said with emotion.

General Crook, who was sitting opposite Marshal Moraes, had a reserved smile on his face at this time, as if victory in the frontline war was just a trivial matter.

After Marshal Moraes finished speaking, Lieutenant General Crook spoke softly:

"Indeed, as you said, General Fang's use of new tactical ideas has kept pace with the development of the times.

His thoughts on trinity strike tactics have been enough for me to study for a long time. It was a good move to appoint him as the commander of our aircraft carrier battle group despite the pressure.

The current aircraft carrier battle group has achieved certain actual combat capabilities under his integration. This operation can also be regarded as a check of his training results."

It is not difficult to tell from General Crook’s words that he wants to take credit from Fang Lang!

Foreigners don't like to be modest, so what General Crook said was very euphemistic. Marshal Moraes was not disgusted by this, but sincerely appreciated Fang Lang's achievements.

"Being able to defeat an opponent that the Army has not defeated for more than half a year in three days is not simply keeping up with the times.

I think there is no general like him in the entire Brazilian Defense Force, and your Navy Department must train him well.

The future Department of Defense needs such people to be in charge."

General Crook did not expect Marshal Moraes to speak so highly of Fang Lang, and even revealed in his words his intention to train Fang Lang as the future Minister of Defense.

This is a big surprise! If a naval general can serve as the Minister of Defense, it will have a great effect on improving the status of the Navy in the National Defense Force.

Of course, this may be just painting a cake, and seizing the time to implement this victory is the most important issue.

Thinking of what Fang Lang told him, he quickly said:

"Please rest assured, Marshal, our Navy Department will do its best to train General Fang. If circumstances permit, I can't wait to hand over my burden to General Fang's shoulders now.

Unfortunately, I have communicated with him many times, and he always says that he is too young and is unwilling to work in the Navy Headquarters. He is only willing to lead troops on the front line and train.

Yes, if you want to try some new tactical ideas, it is more convenient to be in the frontline troops."

The reason why General Crook said such a thing was because Fang Lang was worried that the Ministry of National Defense would promote him because of this military exploit, which would shake his position as a powerful warlord.

Therefore, we have already discussed with General Crook a long time ago that the military exploits this time will be used as much as possible to upgrade the ranks of lower-level officers, especially the ranks of officers at all levels of the Marine Corps.

As soon as Marshal Morais heard what General Crook said, he quickly understood what the other party meant. This made him frown a little, not quite understanding how much of what General Crook said was true and how false.

Could it be that Lieutenant General Crook was worried that Fang Lang would threaten his position, so he deliberately suppressed Fang Lang?

But looking closely at Lieutenant General Crook's expression, it seemed that there was something different about him, and he couldn't accurately judge for a while. However, the other party was the Minister of the Navy, and he still had to ask for his thoughts on internal affairs of the Navy.

The truth and falsehood of what the other party said will become clear after meeting Fang Lang and asking.

"Well! In that case, how are you, the Minister of the Navy, going to credit General Fang's troops?"

In this regard, General Crook and Fang Lang had a tacit understanding and said with a smile:

"Since this operation was organized and implemented by General Fang's aircraft carrier battle group themselves, of course the specific credit must be submitted by them on their own initiative.

My opinion is to refer to the reports they submitted themselves to judge their merits and reward them."

Marshal Moraes was stunned by these words. He glanced at Lieutenant General Crook with some surprise, wondering if he had misunderstood something. The Navy Department said that General Crook and General Fang had a close relationship. It seemed possible.
Could it be that Fang Lang really doesn’t want to go further?

"Very good, let's follow this idea! When they come back, I will personally go and award them with honors.

Also, in addition to the proper use of bomber tactics this time, I think their Marine Corps combat effectiveness is also pretty good!

I noticed that two days ago you submitted a report on their fleet’s upgrade of the Marine Corps’ jungle warfare training camp.

Since it is an upgrade, it means that you already have a jungle warfare training camp, right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!

As early as when the first operation to suppress the rebels failed, General Fang and I discussed the possibility of our navy participating in the war.

After General Fang learned that I had the idea of ​​participating in the clearing operation, he analyzed the special features of jungle warfare with me and offered to start studying jungle tactics.

Our first jungle warfare training camp was established under such circumstances.

This camp is located in the state of Pará, near Orichimina on the north bank of the Amazon River. It is still just a simple field training camp.

But the Marines participating in the war were all gathered here to receive very rigorous jungle warfare training before participating in the war.

Therefore, they can swim in the jungle like a fish in water during the operation to encircle and suppress the rebels, greatly reducing non-combat attrition."

These words really attracted the interest of Marshal Moraes. After all, as the Minister of Defense, he was very aware of the situation in Brazil. The Amazon rainforest, which occupies half of the territory, has always been sparsely populated.

The government does not have strong control over the local area. The fundamental reason is that the living environment of the Amazon rainforest is harsh, and it is difficult for the troops to exert their original combat effectiveness in the jungle.

And now Fang Lang has developed special jungle warfare tactics specifically for this special geographical environment. How could this not interest him!

"Oh! It seems that it is not a fluke that you were able to end the battle in such a short period of time!

Your approach of preparing for a rainy day is worth learning from!

If the Army Department had been as aware as you, it would not have suffered two consecutive defeats!

Well! Since your training results have been well verified, I agree to the upgrade application for this camp.

But please discuss it with General Fang. If we have time, we can organize a study and exchange group so that brothers from other branches of the military can also study!

After all, jungle warfare is a brand new and inescapable topic for us. A large part of the challenges we will face in the future may come from tropical jungles.

Since your navy is already at the forefront, don’t be too petty. We should all exchange and learn more, and pass on some of your advanced experience to other brother units.

Let the jungle warfare capabilities of our entire National Defense Force be brought to a new level."

General Crook definitely couldn't refuse this kind of thing, so he just thought about it briefly and nodded happily:

"No problem, I will inform General Fang when I get back, do a good job in reception, and seriously teach relevant experience to the army brothers, without any secrets.

If our army brothers are willing, they can send teams and let us help with training."

As for whether Fang Lang would agree, he wasn't worried at all. After all, this was something that could pave the way for Fang Lang's future, and he had no reason to refuse.

In order to expand the navy's influence, General Crook even offered to admit the army into the training camp to participate in their jungle warfare training.

In this way, maybe we can cultivate officers in the army who are close to the navy! Why not!

Seeing Lieutenant General Crook being so straightforward, Marshal Moraes also laughed and said:

"If this is the case, the scale of your training camp is not enough!

Later I will give you an additional grant for this project, and you must help me make this training camp a success."

General Crook was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly:

"No problem, thank you Marshal!"

"You don't need to thank me, you all got this with your own strength."

Marshal Morais waved his hand casually and said with a smile.

Lieutenant General Crook, who noticed the change in Marshal Moraes' mood, rolled his eyes and quickly took the opportunity to speak:

"Your Excellency, Marshal, when it comes to strength, General Fang took the initiative to make a request to me this time. During this combat operation, he felt that his Marine Corps strength was somewhat stretched.

We want to double the size of the Marine Corps from the current five battalions to ten battalions.

I wonder if Your Majesty the Marshal thinks this idea is appropriate?"

Hearing this, Marshal Moraes did not answer immediately, but began to fall into deep thought. After all, expanding the size of the army is not a trivial matter, involving personnel, equipment, funding and other aspects.

There may even be a meeting to discuss. After a long while, Marshal Morais took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"As Secretary of the Navy, what is your opinion?"

Of course, General Crook knew that this was not a trivial matter. It was not only a matter of expanding the size of the Navy, but also the Army's views on this matter.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a cannibalization of the army's power.

But Mr. Minister of Defense asked himself to express the opinions of the Minister of the Navy, and he said directly without hesitation:

"I support this.

With reference to the establishment of the US military and the situation of World War II, landing operations indeed require more professional Marines to ensure the successful completion of the mission.

Therefore, the existence of the Marine Corps is a practical need.

In addition, the powerful combat capability demonstrated by the Marine Corps this time also shows that our Marine Corps is no worse than the Army in combat effectiveness and is a completely trustworthy amphibious combat force.

It is also an important part of national defense strength."

Marshal Moraes looked at Lieutenant General Crook, who was so sworn in, and could not understand what he was thinking. However, he had to say that the performance of the Marine Corps was indeed eye-catching this time, and what the other party said was impossible to refute.

So, he coughed lightly, looked at the other person and said:

"Then your Navy Department will submit an expansion application! I agree in principle."

Lieutenant General Crook was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly stood up and saluted:

"Yes, thank you, Marshal!"
