Chapter 509 The Army’s Thoughts

Bartlett Crowe understood what Fang Lang meant after only a brief thought. Obviously, the two people's interests were highly consistent when it came to targeting Mr. Vargas.

It's not that Bartlett Crowe or Fang Lang have any grudge against Vargas.

But as an important member of the Eddy brothers' rebel forces, Bartlett Crowe will definitely find ways to eliminate this hidden danger once he is known by the Labor Party and he knows that there is a connection between the Eddy brothers and Mr. Vargas.

As for the reason why Fang Lang remained hostile to Vargas, it was because he had offended Vargas to death from the beginning, especially as the culprit of the Japanese mob attack on the presidential palace.

It is destined that he cannot be of the same mind as Mr. Vargas, which is why he is always wary of Mr. Vargas.

Although I don't know if Vargas knows that he is behind this incident, but he has to guard against it.

"I understand, but I have confessed everything I know to the soldiers of your army who interrogated me. What should I do?"

Bartlett Crowe looked at Fang Lang nervously, then at Qi Qingshan behind Fang Lang and the guard at the door.

When Fang Lang saw this, he smiled and said:

"Don't worry! You can definitely trust my people. They won't talk nonsense. You just need to take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Bartlett Crowe glanced around at the people in the tent and found that everyone was looking at him with expressionless expressions, knowing that he had no room for bargaining.

He smiled bitterly and said:

"I understand, General!"

Seeing that the other party looked obviously uneasy, Fang Lang also smiled and continued:

"Don't worry! The reason why I came to you is to protect you. As an insider of this matter, I need you alive."

Bartlett Crowe quickly realized that Fang Lang wanted him to stand up one day and correct Vargas' crimes. After understanding all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and understood that the other party was not lying to him.

He took a long breath, looked up at Fang Lang and said:

"But my identity, after being tried this time"

Seeing the other party's somewhat embarrassed expression, Fang Lang could not understand the other party's inner thoughts.

He looked at the other person with a smile and said:

"Since I need you alive, I will naturally ensure your safety."

As he spoke, Fang Lang whispered a few instructions to Qi Qingshan beside him. Qi Qingshan unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at Bartlett Clowe in front of him. He didn't say anything, but just nodded to show that he understood.

Although Bartlet Crowe didn't understand the reason after seeing this, he slowly felt relieved. He could rationalize the logic behind it very clearly.

"Thank you General!

General, please rest assured that if you need it, you can summon me to testify at any time."

Fang Lang had to sigh with emotion, this Bartlett Crow was indeed a smart man. He knew his own value very well. At this time, his only chance to survive was Fang Lang's need for him.

It can even be said that, except for Fang Lang who needed him to prove the criminal activities Vargas was involved in, others either didn't care about his life or death, or wished he would die early.

In this case, if he wanted to survive, he could only choose to obey Fang Lang's arrangements.

Fang Lang stood up and patted the other party's shoulder. Fang Lang smiled and said:

"You are not necessarily required to appear in court to testify, but when I need you to tell the truth, my people will come to you."

Seeing Fang Lang getting up and leaving, Bartlett Crow also quickly wanted to get up, but his movement was held down by Qi Qingshan who was following Fang Lang.

Seeing Qi Qingshan's wary look, he could only sit back angrily.

Fang Lang left the tent and walked towards the headquarters without looking back. Qi Qingshan, who was following behind him, quickly followed:

"Boss, will it be a waste to arrange the people in the second department of the logistics department?"

It turned out that Fang Lang had just ordered him to notify the Second Section of the Logistics Department and sent intelligence personnel to lurk around this Bartlett Clowe. One was to protect the other party's safety, and the other was to monitor the other party to see if he was lying to them.

The only people who can lurk around the opponent are a few intelligence officers who have infiltrated the rebels. For intelligence officers, this is not a good job. After all, Bartlett Crowe will definitely go to jail for lurking around the opponent.

In fact, it means going to jail.

Therefore, Qi Qingshan felt that it was not necessary.

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter whether it's a waste or not. The time period of this task will not be very long. When the conclusion is reached, no one will pay attention to this guy's existence.

What I need is for him to live in peace until I finish using him. After that, it depends on his own life."

Hearing this, Qi Qingshan nodded and said no more.

Just as Fang Lang was commanding the Marine Corps to make the finishing touches, the battle report from the front line was reported to the office of the Minister of Defense through the Minister of the Navy.

This sudden news shocked all the officers of the Ministry of National Defense and dropped their jaws.

Former commander Major General Walter Wesker, who had just returned to the Ministry of Defense in Rio de Janeiro and was preparing for trial, was dragged directly to the Army Department by the bosses of the Army Department.

"Rear Admiral Wesker, the battle report just came from the Navy. The rebels have been wiped out by the Navy.

As a general who has just returned from the front line, please tell me, is this news true?"

The newly promoted Secretary of the Army, Lieutenant General Humberto Auld, looked seriously at the frontline commander of the Army who looked obviously depressed.

Major General Walter Wesker, who had already expected this news, glanced at everyone in the office and said with an expression that was indeed true:

"Is it over so soon?"

These words caused dissatisfaction among many army generals sitting here, and someone immediately said:

"Major General Walter Wesker, please answer Mr. Minister's question directly."

Turning to look at the army general who spoke out, Major General Walter Wesker smiled nonchalantly and said:

"I don't know if this news is true.

What I know is that when I came back, more than 40 bomber planes at the frontline field airport had already taken off to carry out bombing missions against the enemy."

Hearing this, the office was in an uproar and everyone started whispering to each other.

A voice couldn't help but said:

"Didn't the handover of command just yesterday? Why did the Navy take action today? Have you already discovered traces of the rebels?

The navy took advantage of him."

As soon as he said this, it became even more difficult to calm down in the office, and the voices of everyone talking became louder.

What this person meant was very clear, that is, he wanted to know whether the navy had taken the credit from the army.

After all, this was related to the reputation of the Army, so they couldn't help but think about it.

If there is an opportunity, it would be even better if this credit can be transferred to the Army.

The people around me are not fools. Of course they can understand the twists and turns here.

Therefore, everyone finally focused their attention on Major General Walter Wesker. How could Major General Walter Wesker not know what everyone was thinking!

But he can't do such a thing. It's already embarrassing enough to lose the battle, and if you want him to stand up and take the credit, this is not a matter of face, but a matter of character.

Besides, this kind of thing is not useful just by saying it. All battles are recorded.

If it is really said that the army discovered the enemy's whereabouts, then they have to provide evidence! They can't provide evidence.

Therefore, he glanced at the person who just spoke with a little contempt, shook his head firmly and said:

"We have never found any trace of the rebels. When I communicated with General Fang of the Navy yesterday, I learned that the navy's reconnaissance plane found the rebels on the south bank of the Yapra River.

So, they mobilized their entire army early this morning."

"That's not right! The day before yesterday, the Ministry of National Defense officially ordered the navy to take over the cleanup mission. Yesterday, the navy's reconnaissance planes began to operate on the front line?

Their Natal naval base is not close to the front line, so the timing doesn’t match up?”

As soon as Major General Walter Wesker finished speaking, someone immediately spoke again.

When everyone heard this, they also talked a lot, feeling that there was something fishy in it, and some even said directly:

"It can't be that the navy has already grasped the movements of this rebel army and is deliberately disobeying us!"

"Do you think it's possible that there are navy intelligence officers among the rebels?"

"The navy is behind the rebels, isn't it? Maybe, this is the navy's plan to deliberately weaken the influence of our army!"

There are endless conspiracy theories, and some people even guess the truth of some of them.

Of course, Major General Walter Wesker heard the discussions around him clearly. For a moment, his eyes were opened, and he suddenly felt that the world was full of wonders.

It even made him feel ashamed to be with him.

Fortunately, I didn't agree to stay today to observe the navy's operation. Otherwise, I might have become one of the commanders of this operation.

Although this might save him from punishment, if he really relied on taking credit to keep his position, he really wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

After coughing slightly, Major General Walter Wesker opened his mouth to explain:

"Early after the rebels broke out of the encirclement, General Fang of the Navy's Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group took the initiative to find me and was willing to send ten Navy reconnaissance aircraft to help me and find traces of the enemy.

Unfortunately, I never thought that the rebels would be able to cross the Yapra River and escape from the north bank to the south bank. Therefore, I have always ordered them to search for the enemy's whereabouts on the north bank of the Yapra River.

It wasn't until I received the order to be relieved of my duties, and the navy took over the subsequent cleanup work. The navy's reconnaissance planes began to actively search for the south bank of the Yapra River.

Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, they discovered the enemy's whereabouts on the south bank."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless. Major General Walter Wesker himself had taken the initiative to admit that he did not expect that the enemy would escape to the south bank, and had been ordering others to help search for it on the north bank.

The other navy also obeyed his orders very obediently. It was not until his command was relieved that others began to search the south bank. This obviously had nothing to do with their army!

Lieutenant General Humberto Auld, Secretary of the Army, also turned pale after hearing what Major General Walter Wesker said. The latter's behavior was tantamount to voluntarily admitting that it was his incompetence as a frontline commander that led them to

Lost trace of the rebels.

It doesn't matter if he admits his incompetence directly, but doesn't he understand that this will damage the Army's reputation?

He and others were helping him in disguise, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

After giving Major General Walter Wesker a hateful look, Army Secretary Lieutenant General Humberto Auld slowly spoke:

"Just yesterday, we officially issued an order for the navy to take over the cleanup mission.

Why did the navy have all its personnel in place yesterday? This is a team of more than 2,000 people. This efficiency is too high.

Are the navy's warships already waiting at the front?"

Hearing this, there was another discussion in the office.

Major General Walter Wesker didn't expect that the new Secretary of the Army would also have this attitude, and he was really frustrated.

He shook his head lightly and said:

"The Navy did not send warships there, but used transport aircraft from their aircraft carrier formation to directly transport the troops there."

At this time, everyone was a little confused for a while.
