Fang Lang also had to deeply agree with General Crook's suspicions, and at the same time, he naturally became vigilant about President Vargas's future assumption of power.

Although he knew that Vargas would commit suicide during his next presidential term, he also had three years in power, and he had to find a way to prepare.

It seems that his political layout is still too conservative, and business things need time to develop slowly, but political things must be hurried.

Otherwise, when Vargas came to power that day, he would have been passive by using political means to do his own family's business.

"Mr. Vargas is certainly not going to leave the scene in silence.

In this way, it seems very likely that Mr. Vargas is quietly supporting the Eddie Brothers rebels!

If that's the case, the Army may be in trouble this time.

It is impossible for them to blockade the entire Amazon River, and as long as a shipload of supplies can reach the rebels, the army's operation will inevitably be extended indefinitely. ”

"Yes! The Amazon River is an important waterway, and if the army blocks the waterway, it is very likely to face protests from the Colombian side.

At that time, the government will be quite passive. ”

General Crook thinks more politically, and at this moment he once again feels the trickiness of things.

Hearing General Crook mention Colombia, Fang Lang also began to think in his heart whether Colombia would seriously seal 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 the rebels in Colombia, so why should you Brazil let us Colombia help you encircle and suppress it.

As for the difficulty of the Brazilian army to block the border on its own, the border between Colombia and Brazil in later generations was like a gauze net, allowing local rebels to enter and exit at will, not to mention that the current era of technology has not yet reached the level of later generations.

In this way, it seems that it should be impossible to completely block the rebels, at most, to compress the opponent's living space, drive the opponent in one direction, or find the opponent's camp and launch a surprise attack directly, but this requires soldiers trained in jungle warfare to carry out this mission.

"If this is the case, we need to further expand the production of high-speed patrol boats produced by our Fangyuan shipyard, because only by making all the rivers full of our government patrol boats can we further reduce the living space of the rebels and make it impossible for them to easily get enough supplies from the rivers."

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

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

At the same time, I would like to remind the Army to use this tool. ”

Hearing General Crook's words, Fang Lang was a little surprised, when did General Crook start to think about the army, although the contradiction between the Brazilian army and navy is not as big as that of the Japanese army and navy, it is definitely not so harmonious!

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

"Since you know that the army can't completely drive out the rebels, why don't you use the army to consume the rebels' strength more!

Let them buy you enough time to train our team.

When the Ministry of Defense can't bear it anymore, we can only get the greatest benefit by stepping forward to take over the clean-up mission, right? ”

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

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said:

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

When General Crook heard this, he glanced at Fang Lang with a smile, didn't say anything, just gave Fang Lang a look of his own understanding, patted Fang Lang on the shoulder, and then returned to his desk and sat down.

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 side? It is certainly not a simple person who can become the president of a country, and President Dutra must have realized the peculiarity of Brisso Eddie's identity earlier than anyone else.

With this understanding, he didn't want to suspect that Vargas was impossible, so now should belong to the stage of political struggle that everyone tacitly understands each other.

President Vargas did not raise suspicions about the storming of the presidential palace by the Japanese mob, nor did President Dutra talk about Vargas's possible support for the rebels.

But when the next presidential election begins, things won't be easy.

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

"Originally, I urgently summoned you back to discuss with you how to deal with my request to the Ministry of Defense for war, and 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 gives me a lot of peace of mind.

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

So, I don't think you should go anywhere for the rest of this time, stay in the barracks seriously, and train the Marines under your command for me.

When the time comes, when the Ministry of Defense is completely disappointed in the Army, I will still ask the Ministry of Defense to fight and send your soldiers to the battlefield, I hope you will not let me down. ”

Fang Lang understood that this could be regarded as an order for himself.

Very interesting, he stood up and saluted directly:

"Yes, Your Excellency, I promise to complete the mission."

General Crook is very satisfied with Fang Lang's attitude, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he will not get carried away because he has a good personal relationship with him.

With a kind face, he pressed his hand down, motioned for Fang Lang to sit down, and said.

Seeing this, Fang Lang also sat down, but this time was obviously a good time to make a request, and Fang Lang said without hesitation:

"Your Excellency General, if we need to let our marines take action to destroy the rebels, we not only need training, but also some new equipment, and I hope to get some military support."

When General Crook heard this, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he wasn't the kind of person who wanted the horses to run without giving them graze.

Coupled with his trust in Fang Lang, I believe that he will not mess around, so he nodded without hesitation:

"No problem, I fully support!"

Fang Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up again and saluted:

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

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

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

When a detailed list of purchases arrived at the Admiralty's desk two days later, Admiral Crook was so frightened that he jumped straight from his desk.

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

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

But thinking that he had agreed to Fang Lang's request in advance, General Crook could only write the word "agree" on the procurement list.

Fang Lang, who had already returned to 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 that he would train his Marines well and be ready to intervene in the battle to destroy the rebels in the northwest, he would not take it lightly.

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

Instead, after directly explaining the situation to General Laita of the Logistics Department, he took the lead in informing his own factory and sent all the equipment he needed to the Natal Naval Base.

The Marines trained at the Natal Naval Base are definitely the longest-trained in the entire Brazilian army.

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

Now that the six-month training has long since ended, the American instructors have been transferred out of the Whip of God military contracting company.

The marines who had been idle for a few months suddenly received an order from the aircraft carrier fleet command that the selection of the Navy's special tactical research team, which had been resigned for nearly half a year, was about to begin.

At the same time, there was also an order for the whole army to strengthen the technical and tactical level of jungle warfare, and the five battalion commanders of the Marine Corps 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 marines, who had been silent for a long time, were about to begin preparations for a new war.

Early the next morning, five battalions of marines, totaling 2,500 men, were transported by transport ship to Orichmina on the north bank of the Amazon River in the Brazilian state of Pará, where there was a jungle warfare training base that Fang Lang had prepared for the Marines in advance.

】

Because there is a Northern Mining Company, which was established as a joint venture between Fangyuan Group and the local government, as promised by the then Minister of Defense, Marshal Moraes.

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

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

Therefore, the distance between the jungle warfare training base and the mining company is less than half an hour.

When five battalions of Marines drove into the very rudimentary-looking jungle warfare training base, the workers of the mining company were stared 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 that serve as canteens and infirmaries, as well as public toilets and showers.

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

Fortunately, these tents are sturdy military canvas tents, which can provide shelter from the wind and rain, but mosquito harassment and poor living conditions are certainly inevitable.

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