As Fang Lang feared at the beginning, this rebellion was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, because, according to the information they sent back after the secret investigation planted by the CIA.

The eldest son of General Chiz Whiteman had been absorbed by the CIA and became a CIA intelligence officer when he was studying in the United States, but he was not the same as Fang Lang when they were buried in the CIA.

It belongs to another department that specializes in infiltration work, so the identity of this guy was not discovered by their people in advance.

If, on the surface, the son of Chiz Whiteman, the organizer of the rebellion, was an intelligence officer for the CIA, it is clear that this rebellion was not a simple rebellion.

This forced him to be more vigilant, knowing that the later Brazilian military junta in history was a coup d'état carried out with the participation of the CIA. They were later able to overthrow the democratically elected government and form a military junta through a military coup.

Since the Americans can succeed later, it is obvious that this time it will not be so simple, relying only on a deputy chief of staff of the War Department and such a small army to start the work.

Well, there is a pair of hidden eyes now, quietly observing the development of the situation.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Defense, the fact that there was an American figure behind the rebellion had already been informed to the counterinsurgency command through the Brazilian Intelligence Agency.

"What the hell are these damn Yankees trying to do?"

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Fang Lang heard President Scalia's angry voice. Seeing Fang Lang enter, everyone didn't react too much. Obviously, there are Americans behind this matter, which has caused them a lot of pressure.

In this regard, Fang Lang was not surprised, and he did not show any presence in front of President Scalia, because it was completely unnecessary.

Nodding to everyone in the conference room, he crept over to General Crook's side, lowered his voice and asked what was going on.

Seeing that his confidant Fang Lang was coming, General Crook's ugly face couldn't help but squeeze out a little smile.

Lowered his voice and simply briefed Fang Lang about the current situation. So he asked directly:

"How soon will your Marines be in place?"

From General Crook's attitude, Fang Lang could tell that everyone must be under great pressure now. I am afraid that if it is not good, the US government will subvert its own government.

"Your Excellency the General, rest assured, our Marine Corps is a rapid reaction force, and after the order is given, it will be ready for departure in a maximum of an hour.

However, because of the large scale and long distance of this transfer, our transport force is limited, and the arrival of the first batch of troops will not be until about early this morning. ”

Hearing this, General Crook nodded with satisfaction, such a fast speed was actually much beyond his expectations, and of course he would not have any objections to this.

"Good, you Marines have never let me down. You don't have to worry too much this time. After all, if our navy comes forward to quell the rebellion, this army rebellion may further intensify the contradictions between the army and navy.

Therefore, I will not let you come forward until I have to. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling that General Crook obviously thought about the situation too simply!

"Your Excellency, didn't you just say that there was an American manipulation behind this rebellion? If it were really Americans, you think they would start a rebellion with just this Chiz Whiteman.

No matter how I look at it, I think it's a bit child's play? ”

General Crook has always attached great importance to Fang Lang's opinion, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard him comment that this rebellion was a bit of a child's play.

Just as Fang Lang said, this rebellion was really a bit of a child's play, just a deputy chief of staff of the War Department contacted several army officers who were dissatisfied with the status of the army, and launched a rebellion in the name of restoring the dignity of the army.

It is not far away to transport troops from as far away as the Pakistan-Afghanistan border by train line.

"You mean, there's someone else behind this?"

"I'm not sure if there's someone else behind it, but I'm sure the Americans have a backhand."

Fang Lang looked at General Crook's eyes solemnly and said.

Upon hearing this, General Crook's face became a little more serious. After thinking carefully for a while, he said:

"Did you find anything?"

"Not yet, but as things stand, there must be hidden opponents in several army units near Rio.

If we are counterinsurgent, there will be people behind us who will directly cooperate with the outside and completely disrupt our actions. ”

Fang Lang's words startled General Crook, and his eyes were staring at the rebel forces that were being mobilized to Rio de Janeiro because of the intelligence of the Intelligence Bureau, and he really didn't doubt whether there would be rebels in the troops near Rio de Janeiro.

Now, after hearing Fang Lang's analysis, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. General Chiz Whiteman, who has served as deputy chief of staff at the War Department for so many years, is obviously more familiar with several Army units near Rio de Janeiro.

Why would he go to the distance and contact the troops who are far away on the border, instead of directly contacting the nearby garrisons?

After thinking about this, he stood up directly, walked to the map on the conference table, and asked the chief of the General Staff, General Leta:

"How many army units do we have near Rio de Janeiro? Which are the most recent? ”

Everyone was obviously caught off guard by General Crook's sudden question. However, the good thing is that everyone is professional and knows everything about the situation in the vicinity.

As soon as he finished speaking, General Letta picked up his baton and pointed on the map and replied:

"There is a garrison division, two motorized rifle divisions, and an armored division near Rio de Janeiro. The most recent, naturally, was the garrison division in charge of defending the capital.

What's wrong? Any questions? ”

After hearing General Leta's words, General Crook did not speak out immediately, but fell into deep thought following the positions of several garrisons pointed out by the other party.

President Scalia on the side also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and after a few glances here, he got up and quietly came to Fang Lang's side and said:

"Fang, is there something wrong?"

At this time, Fang Lang was also thinking about who the secret hand of the Americans would be. I was also stunned when I heard someone next to me asking, turned my head, and saw that it was the president before I quickly got up and saluted the other party and said:

"Hello, Mr. President! I had a discussion with General Crook just now, and I suspect that the rebels may not be the only ones who are arriving by train, but that there are also people in the garrison in Rio de Janeiro.

Therefore, General Crook is analyzing which troops or which units are more likely. ”

Hearing that there are also rebels in the garrison here in Rio de Janeiro, President Scalia was shocked, this is not a trivial matter, if everyone is in the middle of a fierce battle, and a force suddenly turns back, it will be a big thing.

"You mean, the garrison near Rio de Janeiro is also not credible? Why do you think it's one or several troops? What if all the troops were rebels? ”

"It won't be all the troops, because if all the troops mutiny, they won't have to move troops from outside to Rio de Janeiro.

Obviously, it was because their troops in Rio did not have absolute control of the situation that they would want to seek support from the periphery. ”

The voices of the two of them did not shy away from everyone in the conference room, so everyone heard Fang Lang's analysis and couldn't help but show thoughtful expressions.

After staring at the map for a while, General Crook found that he could not find anything from the map, so he could only look up at the people in the conference room:

"Do any of you know this Chiz Whiteman? Do you know who he has the best relationship with the nearby garrison? ”

Hearing this, everyone present is you look at me, I look at you, and they look at you with a blank face. This can't be blamed on everyone, because in order to prevent leaks, they are not people who have a close relationship with Chiz Whiteman in the first place.

Moreover, they are all people from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, and they are not from the War Department at all, so everyone is not familiar with this Chiz Whiteman.

However, Blackwell, after hearing General Crook's question, stepped forward and said:

"Sir, we will organize manpower to investigate now, and I believe we will find out soon."

After saying that, he turned around and hurried away.

For a moment, the room fell silent. Everyone's hearts are pressed against a boulder.

Seeing that everyone's mood was not high, Fang Lang had to take the initiative to speak:

"Actually, I don't think you need to be nervous, although the Americans are behind this rebellion, since we have already discovered it in advance, then this matter is actually not much of a threat to us.

Even if there were rebels in the garrison near Rio, we wouldn't have to worry about it. Now it seems that they must be planning to adopt a combination of internal and external measures.

Isn't it okay if we don't give each other such a chance? ”

After General Crook and General Leta heard Fang Lang's words, they all looked at Fang Lang with a surprised expression. President Scalia even said directly:

"Fang, have you already thought of a way to counter the rebellion?"

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"Actually, I think people think it's too complicated, the rebels want to start a rebellion in Rio de Janeiro, why do we have to follow their plan?

Now their train is still on the way, and as long as we control their train and block them, they won't be able to turn over any sparks.

Moreover, I believe that those who participated in the rebellion must have been those officers, and many officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are estimated to be still in the dark, so we only need to expose the tricks of those officers and soldiers in front of these officers and soldiers.

Naturally, this rebel army did not pose any threat. ”

What Fang Lang said is naturally the most ideal situation, but in fact, it is not easy to do this. After all, military trains are no better than ordinary passenger trains, and they are still very careful about their precautions. What's more, they came for the rebellion in the first place.

The chief officer who led the team naturally paid great attention to safety along the way, and it was obviously very difficult to block them directly on the train. But this idea did open everyone's eyes.

They really didn't have to wait for the rebel forces to arrive in Rio de Janeiro before they started their operations.

You must know that Rio de Janeiro is the capital of Brazil, and letting the rebels attack the capital will have too much influence. If one is not good, the current government may be overthrown directly. This is a serious consequence that no one can bear.

Therefore, after General Leta, who was the chief of the General Staff, heard Fang Lang's words, he immediately slapped the conference table and said:

"That's right! Why should we make plans around Rio de Janeiro? Now that we know the news of their rebellion in advance, we can naturally intercept them halfway and not give them a chance to rebel in Rio! ”

General Crook originally planned to purge the army through this army rebellion, but now after listening to Fang Lang's analysis, he is also a little worried that if the control is not good, if the rebel rebellion is really successful, he will not say anything about purging the army, and he will be purged if he is not successful.

Moreover, now that the army's rebellion is a fait accompli, no matter where the rebels are eliminated, it will have no effect on his purge, so he does not have to risk waiting for the rebels to arrive in Rio de Janeiro before starting an operation.

After a little hesitation, he also spoke directly:

"General Fang's plan is very good, not only to prevent the rebels from causing damage to Rio de Janeiro, but also to thwart the rebels' plans to cooperate with the outside world.

The General Staff is now beginning to make a plan around this idea, preferably to quickly assemble the garrisons along the railroad and disarm them when the rebels enter our ambush circle.

Minimize the impact of this rebellion. ”

After listening to his words, President Scalia still asked with some concern:

"If this group of rebels is solved, what should be done with the rebels hiding in Rio de Janeiro! What if they don't wait for the rebels to arrive, they stay lurking, and we can't catch their tails? ”

Obviously, Scalia is more wary of the rebels who are hiding around him and not being exposed, fearing that if he wakes up one day, he will be captured by the rebels.

Hearing this, General Crook could only comfort him:

"Mr. President, please rest assured, the Intelligence Bureau has already gone to investigate, and I believe that the results will be available soon. Even if he does manage to evade our investigation this time, it's a big deal that when the matter is over, we will change the guard of the troops near Rio.

Keep them away from Rio, and then slowly change all the commanders of several troops. At that time, these hidden rebels will naturally not be able to play any role. ”

This use of political means to quietly eliminate the rebels is indeed very effective. But President Scalia, who was already somewhat insecure, apparently did not approve of General Crook's plan.

Directly asked again:

"Then what if they receive the order to adjust the defense, discover the anomaly in advance, and take action directly?"

General Crook, who understood Mr. President's scruples, did not know what to say for a while. He could only look at the Chief of the General Staff at the conference table, General Leta, and others. General Koleta was a logistics officer and was not proficient in the planning of military operations.

For a while, they couldn't give General Crook the answer he wanted, and everyone could only look at each other without saying a word.

Seeing this, Fang Lang on the side couldn't help but smile and said:

"Mr. President, don't worry, this matter is actually very simple to solve, and my hometown has a plan called luring snakes out of the hole, which is very suitable for use in this situation."
