Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

As the initiator of this incident, Fang Lang felt somewhat guilty. After all, these were more than 2,000 lives.

But he soon adjusted his mentality, because he was also clearing obstacles for the survival of the Chinese. These primitive indigenous people who had experienced rebellion and were in the border areas were actually not easy people.

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

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

Therefore, Fang Lang directly called the Secretary of the Navy, General Crook.

He learned from the prisoners that there might be rebels hiding in the two towns, but because the prisoners died, he could not confirm whether this information was true. He had to follow the prisoners' instructions to find a possible rebel officer responsible for arranging lurking personnel.

.

He was short of manpower, so he reminded the Army to help stabilize the situation in the town.

As a result, the Army directly launched a forceful attack on the two towns, which was severely condemned.

Expressing strong dissatisfaction with the Army's indiscriminate attack on innocent townspeople for the sake of forceful attack.

General Crook soon brought the case to the Defense Minister, Marshal Moraes. After learning what had happened, Marshal Moraes summoned the Minister of War for questioning.

The Minister of the Army denied it and made it clear that the local army garrison had discovered the fact that the rebels were hiding in the town long before General Fang reminded him.

They were preparing to paralyze the rebels through withdrawal and lure the enemies out. However, General Fang alerted the rebels when he inspected the town of Bittenkot, and the army had to take coercive measures against the residents of the town.

Unexpectedly, we encountered strong resistance from enemies hidden in the small town.

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

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

On the contrary, the lawsuit between the navy and the army became fierce, and Fang Lang, the instigator, quietly retreated behind the scenes and arranged for his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and begin an orderly withdrawal.

It was not until all the troops under Fang Lang's command retreated to the Natal Naval Base that the legal battle between the army and the navy was completely ended.

The final opinion of the Ministry of National Defense was not as expected by Fang Lang. It gave credit to both the navy and the army. The army got its wish and got its own credit in this operation to encircle and suppress the rebels, so that it would not be so embarrassing to lose.
And who cares about the casualties among the residents of the two small towns?

In order to further consolidate its victory, it confirmed the news that there were a large number of rebels in the small towns. The army adopted coercive and high-pressure control measures in the two small towns, and residents who made the slightest exception would be arrested and executed.

And prohibit local residents from possessing anti-personnel weapons.

By the time the incident was over, after the two small towns were ravaged by government forces and rebels, the number of soldiers and civilians had dropped to one-tenth of the original number, and most of them were old, weak, women and children.

In order to restore local order as soon as possible, representatives of the National League proposed that about 5,000 people from newly naturalized immigrants be transferred to the two towns.

This proposal was quickly approved by the majority of members of Congress. In order to persuade new immigrants to settle there, the government proposed a series of preferential policies and allowed new immigrants to form militia and self-defense forces to prevent attacks by remaining rebels.

Soon, more than 5,000 Chinese immigrants came forward and applied to settle in the two towns, and the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily.

Fang Lang, who had already escaped from this incident, was hiding in the Natal Naval Base, leading the naval special tactics research team to begin studying real naval special tactics.

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

We also determined plans for irregular tactical exercises with the Marine Corps and naval bases, as well as various naval warships. 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 the various units under Fang Lang's command. In particular, the Navy's special tactics research team is elusive, and the tactics are coordinated and flowing. The tactical style of quick attack and quick retreat has taken shape quickly.

.

This deeply shocked the entire Natal Naval Base. Due to confidentiality reasons, many officers knew that their fleet had such a mysterious special force, but they only heard of its name but never saw its end.

The more mysterious the unit, the more attractive it is. Therefore, during the later team selection, the number of applicants increased sharply, and it was no longer limited to the Marine Corps. Many officers from naval ships also signed up.

Of course, this is a story for later.

The reason why Fang Lang silently hid 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 fight between the navy and the army. If you continue to keep a high profile at this time, you may become a public loser.

Although Fang Lang chose to keep a low profile, such great military exploits must of course be rewarded according to merit. One month after the entire army withdrew to the Natal Naval Base, Fang Lang led his meritorious officers on a special plane and flew to Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil.

Go to the Ministry of National Defense to receive commendations.

Since Fang Lang himself was responsible for drawing up the list of meritorious officers, this promotion and awarding of honors were basically carried out in accordance with Fang Lang's wishes.

Naturally, those who benefited the most were the officers at all levels of the Marine Corps. Several battalion commanders became lieutenant colonel officers, and Lieutenant Colonel Duarte, the Marine Corps commander Fang Lang had planned, was promoted to the rank of colonel.
The pilot students who participated in the operation received a medal, and other officers at all levels were promoted accordingly.

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

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

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 ten battalions of 5,000 personnel.

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

The Army also received some credit for its actions in wiping out rebels in two small towns, and some officers were promoted.

But compared to the navy, it's really not good enough.

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

"General Fang, congratulations!"

An army general who looked obviously drunk had a red face 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 his own hanging on his shoulder. Fang Lang smiled slightly, politely raised the wine glass in his hand and responded:

"Thank you!"

The red-faced general raised his glass in response, drank the wine in one gulp, and then let out a long breath.

"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.

He smiled and nodded:

"That's what happened. If the general is interested, he is always welcome to visit us and communicate."

At this time, the general seemed to realize that he had not 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 currently the commander of the 6th Division of the National Defense Forces, stationed in Cucuyin City, Amazon.

We happen to be in the dense Amazon rainforest, and my troops are also exploring jungle warfare tactics. Unexpectedly, they have not yet achieved results. I heard that your Marine Corps has built a jungle warfare training camp in the state of Pará.<

/p>

And the Ministry of National Defense intends to allow our army troops to go to your training camp to receive professional jungle warfare training.

So I'm a little curious."

The state of Amazonas that Major General Tabio Mack is talking about is the state where the rebels are located. It is located in northwest Brazil, bordering Venezuela and Colombia, and both belong to the Amazon rainforest.

And this city of Cucuyin is a small city at the junction of Amazon State, Colombia and Venezuela. It is located in the northwest of the Nebrina National Forest Park in Brazil.

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

Especially knowing that the other party was stationed in the Amazon state where the rebels were located, and was still studying the jungle war, Fang Lang asked curiously:

"Hey! Since Major General Tabio Mack's 6th Division is stationed in Amazonas, why didn't your army join the operation to annihilate the rebels this time?"

Fang Lang didn't ask this to tease the other party, but it really felt a little strange.

As far as Fang Lang knows, the troops deployed by the Army to the front line to encircle and suppress the rebels this time are elite troops who have participated in the European War and were deployed all the way from the state of Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil.

Since the state of Amazonas already has troops adapted to jungle warfare, why weren't they directly mobilized from the state of Amazonas instead of deploying troops thousands of miles away?

It felt strange to be formal, so Fang Lang took the liberty to blurt it out.

After Major General Tabio Mike heard Fang Lang's words, he smiled sheepishly 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 for the Ministry of National Defense not to trust our combat effectiveness.

."

As soon as he 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 War. It had neither participated in the European War nor had any outstanding achievements.

Considering that the opponent's station is located deep in the Amazon jungle, it is estimated that new equipment and heavy equipment will definitely not be available to them. Therefore, it is understandable not to involve them in the war.

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

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

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

"Jungle warfare is not the same as the large-corps warfare in the minds of the big guys at the War Department. General Tabio Mack doesn't have to worry at all. I believe that the losses suffered by the rebels this time will definitely make the big bosses at the War Department learn from it."

Lessons learned.

When 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 did not expect that Fang Lang would say this to him, and his face, which was already red due to drinking, became even redder.

Looking at Fang Lang, he unconsciously felt a sense of gratitude for being recognized.
