Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 490

  Fang Lang had to agree with General Crook's suspicion, and at the same time, he naturally became more vigilant about President Vargas' future power.

  Although he knows that in history, Vargas will commit suicide during the next presidential term, but he will also be in power for three years, and he must find and prepare for it.

  It seems that my political layout is still too conservative. Business matters need time to develop slowly, but political matters must hurry up.

   Otherwise, when Vargas came to power that day and used political means to attack his family's business, he would be passive.

   "Mr. Vargas will definitely not just leave silently like this.

  In this way, Mr. Vargas is really very likely to quietly support Brother Eddie's rebels!

  If this is the case, the Army may be in trouble this time.

  It is impossible for them to block the entire Amazon River. As long as a ship of supplies can be successfully delivered to the rebels, the army's operations will inevitably be extended indefinitely. "

   "Yes! The Amazon River is an important river shipping channel. If the army blocks the channel, it is very likely to face protests from Colombia.

  The government will be quite passive at that time. "

  General Crook would consider issues more politically, and at this moment he once again felt the difficulty of the matter.

  Hearing that General Crook mentioned Colombia, Fang Lang also began to think in his heart whether Colombia would seriously block the border and help the Brazilian army cut off the rebels' food routes.

  After thinking about it, Fang Lang felt that Colombia should not take it too seriously. After all, the rebels in Brazil are not rebels in Colombia. You Brazil may not know why you should ask us Colombia to help you encircle and suppress them.

  As for the Brazilian army blocking the border by itself, it is too difficult. The borders of Colombia and Brazil in later generations are like gauze nets, allowing local rebels to come and go at will, not to mention the age when technology has not yet reached the level of later generations.

From this point of view, it should be impossible to completely seal off the rebels. At best, they should compress the opponent's living space, drive the opponent in one direction, or launch a surprise attack directly after finding the opponent's camp. Only warriors trained in jungle warfare can perform this task.

"If this is the case, the production of high-speed patrol boats produced by our Fangyuan Shipyard needs to be further expanded, because only by letting the patrol boats of our government army fill all rivers can we further reduce the living space of the rebels and let them They can't easily get enough supplies from the river."

  General Crook also nodded when he heard the words, and said very approvingly:

   "I've seen your high-speed patrol boats before. I have to say that they are very useful, and they are more than enough to block a river. However, the speed of delivery is still relatively slow. You have to come forward and urge the factory to speed up production.

   At the same time, I also remind the Army to use this tool. "

Hearing General Crook's words, Fang Lang was a little surprised. When did General Crook start thinking about the army? Although the conflict between the Brazilian army and navy is not as big as that of Japan's army and navy, it is definitely not so harmonious. Bar!

  As if feeling Fang Lang's surprised eyes, General Crook walked over with a smile, patted Fang Lang on the shoulder and said:

  "Since we know that the army cannot completely drive out the rebels, why not use the army to consume the strength of the rebels!

  Let them buy you enough time to train our team.

   Wait until the Ministry of National Defense can't bear it anymore, and then we will take over the task of clearing and suppressing, so that we can get the greatest benefit, right? "

   Hearing this, Fang Lang had to sigh, this piece of old **** is really spicy enough. For Fang Lang, this was also a good thing, so of course he would not raise any objections, and nodded with a smile.

  Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he said:

   "Your Excellency, do you think Mr. President knows about Mr. Vargas' little tricks behind this?"

After General Crook heard this, he glanced at Fang Lang with a half-smile, and said nothing. He just gave Fang Lang a look of comprehension, patted Fang Lang on the shoulder, and returned to his own Desk to sit.

   Seeing this, Fang Lang didn't continue to ask, but just smiled, understanding what General Crook meant.

  As President Dutra who personally ousted President Vargas from power, how could he not be wary of the other party? It is definitely not a simple person who can become the president of a country. President Dutra must have realized the particularity of Briso Eddie's identity earlier than anyone else.

  With this understanding, it is impossible for him not to doubt Vargas, so now should be a stage of political struggle that everyone tacitly agrees with.

  President Vargas did not bring up the doubts about the Japanese mob attacking the presidential palace, and President Dutra did not mention that Vargas may support the rebels.

   But when the next presidential election begins, things will be hard to say.

  After General Crook sat down, he saw that Fang Lang understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more, but slowly said:

   "I called you back urgently because I wanted to discuss with you how to deal with my request to the Ministry of Defense. I was worried that we would fall into this quagmire like the Army.

   Now it seems that you don't seem to be worried about this matter, which reassures me a lot.

  But we must not take it lightly. After all, this is not a naval battle, and even the army cannot easily solve it. Our marines must be even more cautious.

  So, I think for the next period of time, you don't want to go anywhere, stay in the barracks seriously, and train the Marines under your command.

  When the time comes, when the Ministry of National Defense is completely disappointed with the army, I will still ask the Ministry of National Defense to send your soldiers to the battlefield. I hope you will not disappoint me. "

   Fang Lang understood that this was an order for himself.

   Standing up straight to attention and saluting very knowledgeably:

   "Yes, Your Excellency General, I promise to complete the task."

  General Crook is very satisfied with Fang Lang's attitude. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and has a clear distinction between public and private, and will not get carried away just because he has a good personal relationship with him.

   Pressed down his hand kindly, beckoning Fang Lang to sit down and say.

   Seeing this, Fang Lang took advantage of the situation and sat down, but this time was obviously a good time to make a request, so Fang Lang said without hesitation:

   "Your Excellency, if we need the Marine Corps to take action to eliminate the rebels, we need not only training, but also some new equipment. I hope to get some military support."

  General Crook didn't pay much attention when he heard the words, and he was not the kind of person who wanted the horse to run without feeding the horse.

  In addition to his trust in Fang Lang, I believe he will not mess around, so he nodded without hesitation:

   "No problem, I fully support it!"

  Fang Lang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly stood up again to salute:

   "Thank you, General!"

  Then the two chatted for a while, and agreed that after Fang Lang returned, he would make a separate detailed equipment list and submit it, and after General Crook signed it, he would start purchasing directly.

  At this moment, General Crook couldn't imagine how much the things Fang Lang wanted to buy would be worth!

   When a detailed purchase list came to the desk of the Secretary of the Navy two days later, General Crook was almost frightened and jumped up from the desk.

  Because the purchase price of the entire order was as high as one million U.S. dollars, ten pieces of equipment called helicopters alone cost half a million U.S. dollars.

   There are other new weapons and equipment, including clothing, shoes, rifles, and machine guns, all of which add up to a very terrifying level.

   But thinking that he had already agreed to Fang Lang's request in advance, General Crook could only bite the bullet and write down the word "agree" heavily on the purchase list.

  Fang Lang, who had already returned to the Natal Naval Base, of course didn't know about General Crook's gnashing of teeth, but even if he knew, he wouldn't particularly mind.

  Since he promised General Crook to train the marines under his command well and be ready to intervene in the battle to wipe out the rebels in the Northwest at any time, he will not take it lightly.

  Although he didn't know how General Crook would view his purchase order, Fang Lang didn't think about waiting for the approval before purchasing.

   Instead, he directly explained the situation to General Letta of the Logistics Department, and then took the lead in notifying his own factory and sending all the equipment he needed to the Natal Naval Base.

  The Marine Corps soldiers participating in the training at the Natal Naval Base are definitely the army with the longest training time in the entire Brazilian army.

  Because it was a newly formed reason, the soldiers of the entire Marine Corps were trained vigorously by the American officer corps invited by Fang Lang for a full six months.

   Now the six-month training has long since ended, and the American instructors have also been transferred away because they were assigned to the Whip of God military contracting company.

  The Marine Corps soldiers who had been idle for a few months suddenly received an order from the aircraft carrier fleet headquarters, and the selection of the Navy Special Tactics Research Team, which had been postponed for nearly half a year, was about to begin.

  At the same time, there was also an order to strengthen the army's jungle combat skills and tactics. The five Marine Corps battalion commanders were also gathered in the conference room of the headquarters for a one-day meeting.

   But after the meeting, everyone understood that the peaceful life was about to be broken, and the Marine Corps, which had been silent for a long time, was about to start preparing for a new war.

Early the next morning, the five battalions of the Marine Corps, with a total of 2,500 people, were neatly transported by transport ships to Aurihimina on the north bank of the Amazon River in the state of Pará, Brazil. The jungle warfare training base prepared by the Marine Corps.

  Because Marshal Morais, the Minister of National Defense, had voluntarily promised nearby that the Northern Mining Company, a joint venture between the Fangyuan Group and the local government, existed.

   Transportation has become very convenient, and supplies are also very convenient.

  Fang Lang chose to place the jungle warfare training base here in order to facilitate the nearby protection of the bauxite mining safety of the Northern Mining Company.

  So, the jungle warfare training base is less than half an hour away from the mining company.

  When five battalions of marines marched into the seemingly crude jungle warfare training base, the workers of the mining company looked sideways.

  It is said to be a jungle warfare training base, but in fact it is just a simple field camp, except for a few small wooden barracks used as canteens and infirmaries, as well as public toilets and showers.

  The others are field tents, and even Fang Lang, the commander of Major General, only has a separate field tent.

   Fortunately, these tents are strong military canvas tents, which can keep out the wind and rain, but the harassment of mosquitoes and the harsh living environment are definitely inevitable.

   This is also a field camp that Fang Lang deliberately created to be as close as possible to actual combat.
