Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 514: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

Fang Lang had already expected the attitude of the army and didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and said slowly:

"It's not a big deal to say the least. As you know, our Marine Corps has completely wiped out the main force of the rebels and captured many prisoners.

After interrogation, a rebel officer revealed to us that the rebels had hidden an ambush force of about 500 people in the two towns of Bittenkot and Manguari, preparing to use them as internal agents when they counterattacked the two towns.

.

Unfortunately, this officer was seriously injured on the battlefield and was unable to survive. The person specifically responsible for arranging this task disappeared on the battlefield. Our Marine Corps is still looking for this guy in the jungle.

.

If we can capture each other, we can go directly to the two towns to arrest people according to the roster.

But now several days have passed, and we haven't found this guy yet, and our main force will be unable to escape in the jungle for a while.

Therefore, I would like to trouble Lieutenant Colonel Ribeiro to help keep an eye on the situation in the town during this period. Don't let these rebel spies escape. After our Marine Corps is transferred over, we will kill them all.

This task should not be difficult for Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro!"

As soon as Fang Lang finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro wanted to refuse without even thinking.

"General Fang, you also know that we have received an order to withdraw our troops..."

As he was about to speak, the chief of staff grabbed his arm. Spiros Ribeiro turned to look at the chief of staff next to him with some doubts.

However, the chief of staff kept winking at him, seeming to signal him to agree.

This surprised him. After all, the two of them were army officers. It would be nice not to cause trouble for the navy. Now the navy officer actually wants him to help him. How is this possible?

But he has worked with the chief of staff for a long time, and he has a certain understanding. He knows that this guy has a more flexible mind. Since the other party is like this, he must have his own reasons.

He quickly stopped what he was talking about.

When Fang Lang on the opposite side saw this, he smiled slightly in his heart, but with a look of pity on his face, he said:

"I understand. It is true that I thought too simply. Since your army has received the order to withdraw, I will no longer force it.

I don’t know when your army is going to evacuate. I’ll go back and make arrangements to see if I can send a company up first to take over your army’s defense area.

Don't let these rebels take advantage of the opportunity and escape."

Before Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro could say anything, the Chief of Staff on the side had already spoken directly:

"General Fang, what are you talking about? You are the frontline commander now. Since you have needs, of course we will obey your command.

I immediately reported it to the Army Department and applied for an extension of our evacuation time.

If your Marines still need to search for rebels in the jungle, don't rush to transfer them back. We will help you guard here and there will definitely be no problems.

Also, you don’t have to worry about Manguari Town, I will tell you your needs there and guarantee to help you stabilize the situation in the town."

Although Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro didn't understand why his chief of staff said this, he had to say again and again at this time:

"That's right, General Fang, you are the commander-in-chief of the front line now. Since you need it, we will fully cooperate."

Hearing what the two of them said, Fang Lang was naturally full of surprise, and he quickly took the initiative and said with a smile on his face:

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, okay.

If that's the case, that would be great. Don't worry, you two, I will report your selfless help after I deal with the rebels.

When the time comes, the credit will definitely not be lost to two people.”

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro looked at each other and his chief of staff, and laughed loudly:

"Haha...then I'm really grateful to General Fang."

Of course, there was another round of mutual compliments, and Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro also left Fang Lang in the military camp for lunch.

It wasn't until he was full of wine and food that Fang Lang wandered out of the military camp under the farewell of the two men and left in a car.

After Fang Lang walked away, Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro looked at his chief of staff with a puzzled expression and said:

"Why did you agree to help them stabilize the situation in the town?

You must know that the navy has already made a big splash this time, trampling the face of our army on the ground and rubbing it, and we really obey the other party's command.

If the bosses at the War Department find out, we won’t be able to live without food when we go back.”

The chief of staff said with a smile:

"It is precisely because the navy is in the limelight this time that we have to take on this task."

After speaking, he glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro and motioned for the two of them to return to the office.

After returning to the office, the chief of staff stopped trying to hide his words and said directly:

"Didn't you hear what General Fang said? The rebels have ambushed an ambush of 500 people in Bitcott and Manguari. They are preparing to use it to counterattack the two towns.

Now that the rebels have been wiped out, the rebels in the two towns must have hidden deeper.

Therefore, they did not dare to act rashly without knowing the specific situation of the rebels in the town.

This is the credit of delivering it to your door!”

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro immediately understood what his chief of staff was thinking.

"You mean, we go directly to find the rebels in the town and kill them?"

Hearing this, the chief of staff chuckled and said:

"That's right, not only did we get no credit for this encirclement and suppression operation, but we actually lost troops and generals.

After we return, we might be held responsible for the defeat just like Major General Walter Wesker. If we can seize this opportunity to snatch out the rebels hiding in the town, wouldn't this be our military exploits?

Is it done?

When the time comes, not only will we not be held accountable, we might even be rewarded!"

Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro also said with a smile on his face:

"Haha... The Chief of Staff is still awesome. I didn't expect you to discover this opportunity. No wonder you stopped me.

At that time, I didn't listen carefully to what the other party said, I just wanted to get rid of him quickly.

I almost missed such a good opportunity to make a contribution.

Thanks to the Chief of Staff for the reminder!"

The chief of staff said with a proud smile:

"This is all thanks to the opponent's lack of troops! Haha..."

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After a long while, Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro seemed to suddenly think of something and said:

"But we don't have specific information about the rebels! How can we remove the rebels from the local residents?"

The chief of staff frowned when he heard this, but soon he gritted his teeth and said:

"If we knew the specific list of rebels, we would not get the credit.

Now that we know the rebels are in the town, we might as well gather everyone in the town and screen them one by one. I don't believe we can't find them out."

Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro thought for a while and found no better way, so he could only grit his teeth and said:

"Okay, without further ado, we must uncover all the rebels hiding in the town before the navy finds the rebel officer responsible for this matter.

I will report this matter to the Army Department now."

The chief of staff nodded, shook his head and said:

"We will first contact the garrison in Manguari Town to inform them of the news, and then report it to the Army Department.

This will allow the garrison in Manguari Town to do us a favor."

When Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro heard this, he nodded with a smile on his face and accepted it happily:

"Okay, that's what we'll do."

Soon, the news that there were 500 rebels lurking in Bittenkot and Manguari towns each spread among the War Department and the garrison in the two towns.

After receiving the news, the new Secretary of the Army, Lieutenant General Humberto Auld, was ecstatic and hurriedly ordered the garrison troops in the two places to eliminate all the rebels hiding in the town before the navy could react.

This was used to redeem the Army's incompetent performance in this operation to suppress the rebels.

After receiving the clear order, Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro naturally had no scruples. He walked to the high platform in the middle of the military camp in high spirits and said to the entire regiment of officers and soldiers who were already ready to go:

"Set out and surround the town of Bittencourt. No one is allowed to be left behind."

Then, with a roar of approval from all the officers and soldiers of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Spiros Ribeiro and his chief of staff took the lead in boarding their jeep and surrounded the entire town of Bittencourt.

Because when Fang Lang left their military camp, it was already noon, plus the time for them to report to the Army Department and for the entire army to prepare to allocate tasks and assemble.

It's now around six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky has turned dark.

In order not to leave enough reaction time for Fang Lang and the others, the Army Department had to act quickly this time.

With this kind of town-wide search, the authorized officers and soldiers were naturally like wolves and tigers. They were merciless to the residents of the town and took the property they were interested in directly into their own pockets.

There have even been several incidents of insulting women.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for the residents of the town to resist.

Because Brazil does not ban guns, and during the rebel occupation, in order to win over local residents, some weapons were also given to local residents.

Armed residents did not understand the purpose of the government troops, so they easily clashed with the government troops.

This made the government forces, who already believed that there were rebels lurking in the town, launched an attack on these residents without hesitation.

Soon, the town of Bittencourt turned into a small battlefield.

By the time Fang Lang got the news early the next morning, the two towns of Bittenkot and Manguari had been successfully recaptured by the army. This operation to annihilate the rebels hiding in the towns had killed more than 2,000 innocent people.

Townspeople died and more than a thousand people were injured.

The Army also suffered more than a hundred casualties.

The two small towns were almost completely destroyed, but the army did not find any information from the towns that could prove the identity of the rebels.

The Army did not feel any surprise about this, and instead hurriedly reported this military exploit to the Ministry of National Defense.

Fang Lang was stunned by this result, and for a moment he couldn't believe his ears.

It's not because of the Army's act of grabbing credit. After all, this so-called hidden rebel information was originally used by Fang Lang to trick the Army into helping clean up local residents in two small towns.

After all, for the later immigration plan, Fang Lang had to clean up the hostile locals in the town, so as not to bring unnecessary variables to his later plan.

He thought that the Army would screen the residents of the town, and even thought that if so many so-called rebels could not be found in the town, the Army might find a way to forcefully recruit 500 people to hand over as credit.

But he never expected that the army would directly attack two small towns and beat them to pieces.

He directly killed more than 2,000 people, and he also lost more than 100 people. Now if there are no rebels in the two towns, there must be rebels.

Regardless of whether the Army discovered the problem or not, even if they were forging it, they still had to forge evidence that there were real rebels in the town.

Otherwise, their behavior will be stereotyped as killing good people and taking merit.
