Chapter 713: The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army who harbors evil intentions
Chiz Whiteman's words were obviously harboring evil intentions, but at this time, Ivey Gilmore was really a little superior, after all, in his mind, he had directly lost at least one tank battalion of tanks just now.
As for whether this tank really belongs to him or not, it is not so important. Repeatedly provoked by Chiz Whiteman, he couldn't bear to pat his thigh and stood up and said:
"No, we can't continue to be silent like this, we need to make our voices heard and let those damn guys understand that there are still hard guys like us in the Army, if they dare to ignore us! They will pay a heavy price. β
Hearing this, Chiz Whiteman's eyes flashed, and he said with some nervousness:
"Making our voices heard? Ive, don't mess around! You and I are soft-spoken in the army, and if one is not good, we may be swept away, and when the time comes, we will have no place to cry! β
Ivy Gilmore, who was already on top, heard that Chiz Whiteman was going to admit it, where was he willing to follow, and after glaring at the other party with some dissatisfaction, he said with a little disdain:
"Your Excellency, when did you become so timid and afraid?"
Chiz Whiteman was not angry at his disdainful words, but continued to whisper comfort:
"Oops! Ivey, you've been staying here for the past few years, and you don't know the situation at the War Department, and the current War Department is no longer what it used to be. β
"What's different, and it's because it's different that we should take the initiative to find ways to bring the Army back to tradition, return to the top, and take the lead in the entire Ministry of Defense.
If the Army, which is still holding out like you and me, retreats, then there is really no hope for our Army. β
These words seemed to poke Chiz Whiteman's heart deeply, and for a while he lowered his head a little unexpectedly without knowing what to say, obviously in thought that he was suspected of self-reproach, and after a while, he slowly raised his head and said:
"Ivey, you're right, we can't back down, we can't let the traditions of the Army sink like this, we have to regain control of the Ministry of Defense, you name it! What are you going to do! I will give you my full support. β
In just a few words, Chiz Whiteman had already plucked himself out, as if everything was Ivy Gilmore's own idea.
At this time, Ivy Gilmour was not aware of this problem, and was still seriously thinking about how to make his voice heard.
But perhaps because he has been away from the Central Committee in the past few years, he really doesn't know much about the situation in the War Department, and he can't think of any good way to speak out for a while.
After a long time, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly:
"All I can think of is to write directly to the Secretary of the Army, or go straight into the other person's office and express my opinion. But I know it's useless. β
After saying that, he became a little depressed.
Chiz Whiteman, who was still looking forward to it, was stunned when he heard Ivey Gilmore's words, thinking, I took off my pants, you just show me this?
At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little vigilant, and quietly looked at the other party carefully for a while to confirm whether the other party had discovered something. Fortunately, after a closer look, I found that the other party really didn't seem to think of any good way.
Thinking about the other party's personality again, I was quickly relieved, this guy can only be said to be a little smart, but more often than not, he is still a reckless man, a lot of twists and turns, if you don't explain it to him, he may not be able to react. That's why I came to him specifically.
It seems that his previous strategy is a little unworkable, and if he doesn't take the initiative to break it, he will have to run in vain this time.
After a little silence, he said as if he had thought of something:
"I've already done what you said, and it's really useless, otherwise I wouldn't have come over and complained to you today.
However, after you say this, I have come up with a good idea. Since you, like me, are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs, and we alone do not have enough voices.
Can we find more like-minded people to join forces to speak out? β
Hearing this, Ivy Gilmore's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but nod again and again:
"That's right! We can unite more people! With more like-minded people, I don't believe that the War Office guys would dare to ignore our opinions.
If they still dare to ignore us, Lao Tzu will lead troops to surround his War Department. Let's see if they dare not listen. β
As soon as these words came out, Chiz Whiteman's eyes, who were still thinking about how to guide the topic, flashed, his head involuntarily raised a little, and the eyes looking at the other party began to become meaningful.
But he is an old fritter and knows that many things need to be struck while the iron is hot, but some big things are too much and need to be done gradually. Therefore, he took a deep breath and deliberately, not to discuss the matter of leading troops to surround the War Department, but took the initiative to ask:
"Do you know a lot of people like that?"
"Of course, although I am not in the War Department, I often talk to many junior officers about this topic, and there are indeed a few people who feel the same way as me.
It should be okay to invite them to speak up. β
When Chiz Whiteman heard this, his eyes naturally lit up, and he hurriedly said:
"So what are you waiting for? You see, when we will get together and have a good discussion. Let's see how to make the loudest noise, so that the old men of the War Department will also listen to our opinions below. β
Hearing this, Ivy Gilmore, who had an eager expression just now, fell a little silent. It seemed that after hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke:
"However, if we are found out in such a private series, we will have to go to court-martial."
When Chiz Whiteman, who was on the rise, heard this, his whole body was angry, and he slapped his forehead and said:
"Didn't you just say that if the War Department dared not pay attention to our opinions, you would lead troops to surround the War Department?
Why don't you even dare to contact like-minded people now? β
After seeing Chiz Whiteman's expression, Ivy Gilmour seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked the other party up and down a few times suspiciously, before suddenly approaching the other party and said in a low voice:
"That's not right! Your Excellency, General, you know all these people I know! And as the deputy chief of staff, it's easier for you to contact them than me! Why don't I tell you the list and you can contact you!
Moreover, you are the deputy chief of staff of the War Department, and the more weight you say, they must believe in you more. When the time comes, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to directly lead us together to put forward our demands to the War Department? β
Chiz Whiteman, who was looked at by Ivy Gilmore's suspicious eyes, thought that the other party had discovered his purpose for deliberately guiding him, and his palms began to sweat in fright.
As a result, the other party just asked him to come forward to organize everyone, and also took the initiative to let him be responsible for leading everyone. This is naturally undesirable for him.
From the beginning, he didn't think about giving up the identity of this organizer, and the reason why he took the initiative to guide the other party from the words was just to guide the other party on the path he designed. As for how to take the lead in the action in the end, he already had his own plan.
Unexpectedly, the progress of the matter was beyond his expectations, and the other party had already taken the initiative to push him out without him guiding him to any step. This made the corners of his mouth can't help but bring a smile.
"No problem, since you have scruples, then I will organize this matter. However, from what I know of our Secretary of War, he probably wouldn't agree to our request even if we all had to come together.
So, I think it's better for us to be prepared for both. β
Seeing that Chiz Whiteman agreed to come forward without hesitation, Ivy Gilmore, who was still a little skeptical, immediately put his mind at ease.
After listening to Chiz Whiteman's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the other party with some puzzlement:
"Prepare with both hands? What do you mean? β
This time, Chiz Whiteman was not dodging, but stared at the other party with a serious face and said:
"That's what you just said, if it really doesn't work, we will directly lead troops to surround the War Department and force the Minister of War to make a statement. I don't believe he dared to disobey us. β
From his serious expression, Ivy Gilmour could tell that the other party was not joking, and was obviously preparing to break the boat.
But at this time, he did not object, for a division commander like him, who held real power, he had long been accustomed to speaking with the military power in his hands, which was also the reason why he was willing to stay on the front line to lead the troops.
"Well, since General Whiteman dares to stand up for us, I can naturally go out and follow you. However, my troops are still a week away from leaving, and I need to get an order from the Ministry of Defense to move to Rio de Janeiro.
Otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to transfer the troops to Rio de Janeiro. β
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Chiz Whiteman's eyes, but his face showed a look of serious thinking, and after a long time, as if he had thought of something, he patted his thigh and said:
"Good! I'll find a way to get your troops through Rio de Janeiro. However, I would like to warn you that if we do surround the War Department, we may be attacked by the garrison of the capital.
You'd better be prepared accordingly. β
Ivy Gilmour obviously didn't expect that the other party would actually be able to get him an appointment. He's a reckless man, but he's not an idiot. It was indeed impulsive before, and he said the words of the army to surround the War Department.
However, he knew that this was impossible, because the location of his troops was not the capital, and the return station did not have to pass through the capital at all. Therefore, it is simply impossible to really lead troops to besiege the War Department.
And he proposed that he needed an order from the Ministry of Defense, in fact, he was telling the other party that this matter could not succeed at all. After all, the other party is only the deputy chief of staff of the War Department, and it is impossible to get an order from the Ministry of Defense at all.
But now what he thinks is impossible has just come true, and if he can't react at this time, he is not qualified to become the head of the first division.
Especially when he heard the other party say that he was ready to fight with the capital garrison, he already thoroughly understood the other party's thoughts. The eyes that looked at the other party also began to become vigilant, but he also understood that he said it himself, and it was definitely impossible to regret it now.
If it doesn't work, the other party will directly stab him above with this word, and at that time, whether the above believes it or not, his future will be completely ruined.
Therefore, his eyes couldn't help but begin to become fierce, and he watched Chiz Whiteman slowly speak word by word:
"So, you wanted to encourage me to mutiny from the beginning, right? Can you tell us who is involved? Don't tell me you're in charge, it's not that I look down on you, you can't get an order from the Ministry of Defense at all. β
Seeing his eyes, Chiz Whiteman didn't feel scared at all, just smiled slightly:
"How can I say that I encouraged you to start a mutiny! Didn't you take the initiative to say that you were going to besiege the War Department? I'm just reminding you of the situations you might face if you do this! β
Ivy Gilmore understood that this was because he did not clearly state his attitude, and the other party did not believe him, so he deliberately put him up and reminded him that it was his own idea.
At this moment, he also knew in his heart that he was already riding a tiger, and if he proposed to withdraw now, not only would they, the people who plotted to launch a rebellion, not only not let him go. When they spread what he said today, the actual controllers of the Ministry of Defense will not let them go.
As a soldier, he naturally has the decisiveness he should have in his character, and after taking a deep look at the other party, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Since I personally put forward this statement, I will naturally not break my word, as long as I receive the order, I will definitely lead my troops to Rio de Janeiro as soon as possible to cooperate with your actions."
Hearing this, the smile on Chiz Whiteman's face instantly became much more sincere, and he patted Ivy Gilmore's arm vigorously and said:
"Haha...... Good brother, I knew you wouldn't let me down. Rest assured! After the deed is done, I will not treat you badly, and you will be our Minister of War when the time comes, what do you think? β
At this time, Ivey Gilmore's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he looked at the other party with a surprised face and said:
"It turns out that your target is not the War Department, nor the Ministry of Defense, you are preparing to directly overthrow the current government, such a big thing, do you think we can do it with just a few of us?"
It has to be said that Ivy Gilmore's intelligence is obviously beyond Chiz Whiteman's expectations, and he only promised to nominate the other party as Secretary of the Army, and he thought that his goal was not only the Department of Defense, but to directly launch a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the current democratically elected government.
Obviously, the difficulty of this matter is very great, and the difficulty is not only to control the current government, but also how to get recognition from the outside world. After all, this is the era of globalization, and Brazil also has a certain influence in the world.
The formation of a new government, if not recognized by the outside world, is simply a joke, and it could be overthrown by more powerful forces at any time. When the time comes, all of them will have to pay with their lives.
"Huh...... You said that there are other people behind me, if we are not absolutely sure, how can I dare to do such a big thing. β
From the other party's expression, Ivy Gilmore knew that he was not ready to confess to himself, but it was certain that there were definitely other people behind him.
It's a pity that the other party obviously doesn't fully believe in himself, and even if he continues to ask, he will definitely not be able to get a real answer! It's better to pocket the benefits promised by the other party first.
"Well, since it's inconvenient for you to say more, I won't ask any more. We have been friends for more than 30 years, I can trust you, I hope you don't let me down! β
