While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Fang Lang knew that Chief of Staff de la Torre should have arrived.
He said casually to the door, "Come in!"
Sure enough, I saw De La Torre walking in quickly and eagerly.
After entering the door, he stood at attention and saluted Fang Lang:
"Hello, General!"
Fang Lang waved his hand casually, signaling the other party to close the door.
Silio Leitch on the side also stood at attention and saluted de la Torre.
After the two exchanged questions, Fang Lang waved to the other person to come over and sit down.
"De La Torre, our intelligence officer in Fernando de Noronha just sent a telegram!
The Japanese raised the Japanese flag on the island and at the same time massacred the exiled prisoners on the island.
It seems that the island is going to be turned into Japanese territory. "
Everyone sitting here was his own people, and Fang Lang didn't hide anything and reported the matter directly to de la Torre.
De La Torre is now the chief steward of the naval base. Whether it is the Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, they are currently undergoing training and training.
And these tasks are all handled by him.
Fang Lang is also a commander who is almost like a hands-off boss, so de la Torre is very busy.
But he was happy with it, knowing that this was Fang Lang's trust in him.
Now he has already brought his family to Natal and lives in the officer's villa on the base.
It can be said that his life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
And all this was due to the fact that he had settled on a good commander.
He knew very well that if it weren't for Fang Lang, he, a moneyless and powerless guy, might have been kicked out of the army and went out to make a living.
The biggest possibility now is to serve as a crew member on an ocean-going cargo ship.
My family must still be struggling in that dilapidated house in Rio de Janeiro.
Therefore, he is definitely the most loyal to Fang Lang.
Fang Lang also knows this very well, and many things can be directly entrusted to him for execution.
Fang Lang did not hide anything about Eddie's family's revenge plan.
De La Torre also actively participated in it, so he was very clear about the entire plan.
Now I heard Fang Lang telling himself that the Japanese unexpectedly did something beyond everyone's expectations.
He couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly reacted.
He smiled directly and said:
"Haha... General, these Japanese are looking for death!
This saves us trouble, because our plans really can’t keep up with the changes! "
Seeing his unabashed smile, Fang Lang coughed lightly and said:
“Ahem, we must resolutely crack down on this reckless infringement of Brazil’s territorial sovereignty.
After you return, immediately arrange for a reconnaissance plane to conduct a comprehensive and detailed reconnaissance of the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
After confirming the true situation, we will immediately report it to the Ministry of National Defense.
This is a rare opportunity to seize the beach and land in actual combat. We must all mobilize to launch a three-dimensional operation from three directions: sea, land and air.
Let the Ministry of Defense see the combat effectiveness of our Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group.
and our firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. "
Hearing Fang Lang's words, De La Torre and Sirio Reich were a little stunned. It took a long time before De La Torre came back to his senses and said softly to Fang Lang:
"Boss, there are only more than 300 armed men on the island. Do we want to use such a large force?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Lang said with a serious face:
"What are you talking about? How do you know how many enemies there are on the island.
As long as foreigners appear on our territory without permission, they are our enemies. Their behavior of entering our territory without permission is a kind of aggression.
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, this is an attitude.
Our Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group must let our enemies, the Ministry of National Defense, and the people see our determination to defend our territorial integrity.
Understand? "
Everyone knows that there are only three hundred armed enemies on the island, but Fang Lang also expressed his meaning very clearly.
That is, all the Japanese on the island are invaders, and they must be wiped out.
How could De La Torre and Silio Reich not understand what Fang Lang meant, so they stood up and saluted directly:
"Yes, we must let all aggressors see our firm determination to safeguard territorial integrity."
Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction when he saw the two of them and said:
"Well! Very good. When the time comes, I will notify the TV station of our just action and film the entire process.
I hope everyone can perform at their best. "
This is a rare opportunity to promote the military's combat effectiveness.
It turned out that their plan was to send a commando to touch it, then send a battalion to follow up, and finally capture the island.
Of course, it is these people who are really going into the battlefield now.
However, the scene must be made grander, and the entire aircraft carrier battle group must be dispatched.
Create a strong pressure for the army to press the situation, and at the same time conduct a rare actual combat training.
"Yes, boss,
When I get back, I will immediately start formulating a battle plan. I will definitely make good use of this practical opportunity to train the team.
However, it turns out that we promised the Marine Corps that we would select the squad with the strongest infiltration capabilities to carry out infiltration missions.
Whether to make changes. "
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"No, let them form a commando team and be the first to land on the island as a sharp force.
What we have to do now is no longer a hostage rescue mission, no infiltration operations,
This time we will use the force of Mount Tai to push directly over.
When you make a battle plan, you first arrange for planes to bomb, then use naval guns to shoot, and finally send marines to land.
In short, it is to show the tyrant temperament of Americans when fighting, first bombing with aerial bombs, then plowing the ground with artillery fire, and finally clearing with infantry.
You must show your momentum and make the scene bigger.
We need to be serious and show our face in front of the people across the country. "
De La Torre swallowed hard and said:
“Boss, wouldn’t it be too wasteful to fight like this?
I'm afraid there aren't enough Japanese people on the island to be blown up by an aerial bomb! "
Fang Lang stepped forward and patted de la Torre on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Haha...you kid, don't be so picky, society has entered a period of peace now.
Apart from this opportunity, we would like to have such a big event again in the future, but there will be no chance.
Besides, we don’t have to spend any of our own money.
The military expenses for this war must be paid for by the Ministry of National Defense!
In addition, we can also strive for a war allowance for all officers and soldiers participating in the war! "
There is one thing that Fang Lang didn't say. You can only buy more arms after they are consumed!
His aircraft carrier battle group is a pure military force, and the arms are purchased from Shata Company. This can be considered as using the military expenditures of the Ministry of National Defense to help clear its inventory.
Why not train your own team by the way?
Seeing that Fang Lang was determined, de la Torre no longer hesitated, stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, sir,
I'll make arrangements now. "
After de la Torre left, Silio Leitch continued to speak:
"General, there is one more thing.
We already have the police club, a list of all the members.
What do we do next. "
After hearing this, Fang Lang pondered for a while and then said:
“No need to deal with it, the current situation is that the Eddie family provides arms and supports the invaders.
We'll see how these people react when this comes to light.
If anyone dares to side with the Eddie family, I give him a thumbs up.
I guess by then, everyone will be eager to take the lead in drawing a clear line with them!
But the strength of this police club cannot be underestimated, and it is best if it is in our own hands.
How about this! Please work hard and investigate the situation of everyone here.
For those real police who are indeed capable, if they can take it for our use, let us take it for our use.
If it is found that those people are black sheep, we will find a suitable candidate next to him and take them into our hands. When the time is right, we will select him and push our people up.
The future police system must be under our control. It is best for all personnel to be professional police officers trained by our own police academy.
If we can incorporate the power of the club, it will be easier for us to implement the police academy plan when the time comes. "
Sirio Leitch understood Fang Lang’s thoughts this time, nodded and said:
"Yes, General,
I understand what should be done. Let’s go and make arrangements now. "
After saying that, he also retreated.
Fang Lang was alone in the office. After pondering for a while, he had to sigh that the plan really couldn't keep up with the changes.
Who would have thought that these Japanese people would be so ambitious?
All I can say is that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
Originally, according to the original plan, Fang Lang could only land on the island in the name of rescuing foreign journalists.
In the end, the most they could do was to arrest the Japanese on the island and send them to prison.
But now that it's better, I can mobilize an army to push them all the way in an upright manner.
When the time comes, the Japanese who were killed by aerial bombs and bombarded by naval guns will no wonder he is cruel.
Unfortunately, the just-decided plan for actual combat testing of new weapons may be shelved.
But when I think about it, even if I attack, it won't start right away.
After all, it takes time to conduct aircraft reconnaissance, report to the Ministry of Defense, wait for the approval of the Ministry of Defense, and then start action.
The new equipment can be shipped this afternoon, so there is still enough time.
After changing the battle plan, the difficulty of the battle was significantly reduced.
After letting some soldiers from the assault team get familiar with the new weapons, it won't be a big problem to test them directly on the battlefield.
It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to let the bosses of the Ministry of National Defense know about the existence of such a new rifle to facilitate future sales.
After all, General Moraes had promised himself that as long as his small arms company could produce qualified weapons, the Brazilian military would be the first to purchase them.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang calmed down his mood, walked out of the office, and first arranged for Ludwig Folger and others to have a good Chinese meal at Deyilou, a Chinese restaurant in Natal.
Soon, the reconnaissance plane on a reconnaissance mission clearly detected the situation on the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
They took very clear photos, and even captured two burned camps and a large pit filled with corpses.
Even the photos of the Japanese firing at reconnaissance planes are clear.
Fang Lang was originally planning to call the Ministry of National Defense directly to report, but after seeing these photos, he changed his mind.
What is said verbally is not as clear as the photos!
Moreover, this time he also wants to invite the Minister of Defense, General Moraes, to come in person to witness the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier battle group!
Therefore, he just called General Crook of the Navy to report that he had urgent military information and wanted to report to his commander in person.
After getting General Crook's consent, he directly ordered the airport to arrange a special plane to fly directly to Rio de Janeiro.
By the time he arrived in Rio de Janeiro, it was almost midnight.
General Crook, who drove directly to the Admiralty Department after receiving Fang Lang's call, did not get off work. Instead, he kept waiting for Fang Lang's arrival in the office.
"General, look,
This was discovered accidentally by our reconnaissance plane today while performing a routine patrol mission. "
As Fang Lang said this, he spread out the photos in his briefcase one by one on General Crook's desk.
Fang Lang did not explain the specific emergency military situation on the phone. After seeing these photos, General Crook's expression changed.
He picked up one of the photos with the Japanese flag flying and asked:
"This is where?"
"Fernando de Noronha."
As the Minister of the Navy, General Crook certainly knew the territory of the country very well. He stood up immediately when he heard the name.
"When did this happen?"
Fang Lang looked at General Crook with a serious tone and said:
"This afternoon.
Because the Fernando de Noronha Islands are far away from us in Natal, we do not arrange fleet patrols every day.
Recently, in order to train our naval aviation capabilities, we arranged for aircraft to patrol here.
Some time ago, there was nothing unusual.
But this afternoon, a reconnaissance plane discovered that the flags of other countries were hoisted on the island.
Our fleet participated in the Pacific War, so we recognized it as the Japanese flag at a glance.
The reconnaissance plane immediately conducted a close reconnaissance,
After approaching the island, they were driven and shot by the Japanese on the island.
But the reconnaissance plane still took the risk and conducted a careful reconnaissance of the situation on the island.
These photos were taken on site.
Based on these photos, I initially judged that the Fernando de Noronha Islands had been occupied by the Japanese and had carried out an inhumane massacre of the prisoners on the islands. "
As he said that, he pulled out the photo of the big pit full of corpses and handed it to General Crook.
After just one glance, General Crook's face turned livid, he punched the desk and shouted:
“Damn Japanese.
Do you know when they showed up here? "
Fang Lang shook his head and said:
“I don’t know, I only know that this is an island where prisoners are exiled, and our navy has no jurisdiction.
However, my patrol ship intercepted two arms smuggling ships near here.
The munitions on the first ship were not delivered because the ship came from Recife.
Therefore, we handed the prisoners directly to the Recife Police Station. Unfortunately, there has been no clear investigation result from the police station.
A few days ago, we intercepted an arms smuggling ship again. The arms on the ship have been delivered, and the targets of the delivery are the Japanese on the island.
According to their account, they transported a battalion of equipment to the island.
As for whether there are other arms on the island, we don't know. "
Hearing this, General Crook nodded and said:
"I know about this matter, it has been reported in newspapers these past two days!
The one who provided the arms was the Chief of the Security Division of the Police, Raymond Eddy, right? "
Fang Lang nodded.
