“It seems like there’s a big problem with this Raymond Eddie!
Wait, didn't today's newspaper say that the woman was Japanese?
I understand, this island is originally under the jurisdiction of the Police Headquarters. It seems that all of this has something to do with this Raymond Eddie!
Pack up and come with me to see General Moraes. "
General Crook's mind moved very quickly, and he understood the connection after just a brief thought.
Fang Langdao didn't find it strange that he went to look for the Minister of Defense in the middle of the night.
After all, this is an urgent military situation and cannot be delayed.
General Moraes lived not far from the Ministry of Defense. By the time Fang Lang and General Crook arrived at General Moraes' house, the Minister of Defense had already fallen asleep.
I heard the adjutant say that General Crook, the Secretary of the Navy, and General Fang Lang of the Rio de Janeiro Aircraft Carrier Battle Group were visiting together and had urgent military information to report.
General Morais' little sleepiness was immediately driven away, he put on a pair of pajamas and walked out.
When he came to the living room, he saw Kruk and Fang Lang with serious faces. He knew that something big must have happened, so he said directly to them:
"Let's talk about it in the study."
After all, we were at home, and urgent military information was definitely not suitable to be discussed in the living room, so General Morais took the two of them to the study.
General Crook motioned for Fang Lang to explain the situation.
After Moraes finished listening to Fang Lang's narration and saw the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, General Moraes punched the desk.
“He deserves to be killed, this guy named Raymond Eddy deserves to be killed.
This is secession, this is treason.
Do you know where this person is? He must not be allowed to escape. "
Fang Lang's eyes flashed coldly, and he shook his head calmly.
When General Crook heard this, he quickly said:
"I'm sorry, General,
As soon as we received the information, we rushed over to report to you.
This Raymond Eddy is the Chief of the Security Division of the Police Headquarters. Would it be inappropriate for our military to take action against him? "
After hearing General Crook's words, General Morais waved his hands indifferently and said:
"Don't say that he is just the director of the public security department of the police headquarters. Even if he is the chief of police or the minister of justice, we will arrest him without fail."
After saying that, he didn't care that it was already midnight, he directly picked up the phone on the table and made a call.
"Adnan Church, I'm Moraes,
There is now evidence that Raymond Eddy, the head of the Police Security Division, participated in and carried out acts of separatism.
I order you to arrest him immediately. "
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Fang Lang and asked:
"The Fernando de Noronha Islands are near your Natal Naval Base. How are you going to deal with them?"
Fang Lang knew that it was his turn to express his stance at this time, so he stood at attention and saluted without hesitation:
"Your Majesty General, as soon as I received the information, I ordered the fleet to enter the first level of combat readiness.
All it takes is authorization from the Ministry of Defense and Mr. President to start action immediately.
We must resolutely crack down on hostile forces that violate my country's territorial integrity and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. "
General Moraes was very satisfied with Fang Lang's statement.
In fact, he knew very well that such a battle to seize the island would definitely require the Marine Corps to execute it.
Fang Lang has a well-equipped Marine Corps under his command.
And it is the closest to the enemy, which is his defense zone.
Therefore, he must be the one to carry out this mission.
He nodded and said to the two of them:
"Then you come with me to meet the president,
Once authorized by the President, action begins immediately. "
"Yes, General."
The two stood at attention and saluted.
Then the three of them rushed to the Presidential Palace without stopping.
When President Dutra heard the news, he asked in disbelief:
"Japanese? Haven't we already deported Japanese across the country?
How did these bastards end up on Fernando de Noronha? "
"Mr. President, judging from the current intelligence, it should be this guy named Raymond Eddy who took advantage of his position.
These Japanese were sent to the Fernando de Noronha Islands. "
General Morais spoke in a serious tone, word for word.
President Dutra frowned when he heard this name, and he obviously knew this person.
"I know who this guy is, he's been in the news every day these days.
The newspaper said a few days ago that your navy discovered arms smuggling.
I also asked the Attorney General about this individual.
His father was the deputy minister of justice in the previous term and was a powerful figure in the police system during President Vargas's period.
The Brazilian police system is now filled with his protégés and former officials.
If I remember correctly, his father died when Japanese mobs stormed the presidential palace.
But he would actually shield the Japanese and support the Japanese in this act of dividing the country.
It seems that the relationship between their family and the Japanese is not simple!
Do you think the Japanese mob's attack on the presidential palace was related to their family? "
After hearing this, the two generals, Moraes and Crook, looked at each other in confusion. It was obvious that they did not know much about the police system.
But Fang Lang's eyes lit up. He knew very well what it was like when Japanese mobs attacked the presidential palace.
For the president, it was precisely because of the actions of the Japanese mob that the military coup he originally prepared was given the appearance of wiping out the Japanese mob.
But his subsequent house arrest of the former president still saddled him with a lot of controversy.
Many supporters of Vargas even claimed that the so-called Japanese mob was simply a farce directed and staged by President Dutra in order to overthrow the rule of President Vargas.
What President Dutra is saying now obviously has some guidance.
Obviously, he wanted to use the connection between the Eddie family and the Japanese to put the blame for the Japanese mob's attack on the presidential palace on the Eddie family.
This is an opportunity to completely defeat the Eddie family.
Seeing that both generals were silent, he couldn't help but ask:
"The president is suspicious that Raymond Eddy's father, the deputy attorney general,
Was he the man behind the Japanese mob's attack on the presidential palace? "
Sure enough, after hearing Fang Lang's question, President Dutra's eyes lit up and he gave Fang Lang an appreciative look.
His eyes swept across the faces of General Morais and General Crook inadvertently.
But when he saw that the two of them still looked confused, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Two old foxes."
He continued with a smile:
“I just suddenly thought about whether this is possible.
After all, it can be seen from this incident that their family has a close relationship with the Japanese!
Both father and son had an improper relationship with this woman named Mizuno Korei.
If they didn't have a close relationship with the Japanese, how could they be with this Japanese woman.
Why did this guy send so many deported Japanese to the Fernando de Noronha Islands? "
Everyone coughed dryly when they heard about the inappropriate relationship.
But Fang Lang gave President Dutra a big thumbs up in his heart, nodded immediately and said:
"What Mr. President said is so reasonable. It seems that this family is not a good person.
Should we check if other members of their family were involved in this matter? "
How could Fang Lang let go of this opportunity that could push the entire Eddie family into a whirlpool?
Therefore, there was no hesitation in bringing the entire Eddie family into the scope of the investigation.
General Moraes and General Crook on the side watched as the two sang and sent the entire Eddie family into this whirlpool.
He curled his lips inwardly with a look of disdain, but nodded with approval on his face.
To them, this Raymond Eddy was absolutely damned.
As to what role his family played in this incident, it doesn't matter.
The two generals have nothing to do with this family. The president wants this family to take the blame for the Japanese mob's attack on the presidential palace.
They certainly won't stand in the way.
After all, everyone is working in the government, so why go against the president for an insignificant family?
After President Dutra heard Fang Lang's words, he was even more happy, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously:
"Well! We can't wrongly accuse a good person, but we can never let a bad person go.
Since everyone in the Eddie family is suspected.
Then we must investigate carefully.
If the others are indeed innocent, we have proved their innocence!
Since this is a huge case involving secession, don't leave it to the Ministry of Justice for investigation.
My opinion is that the Ministry of National Defense should directly set up an investigation team to investigate all members of this family.
Strive to give an explanation to the people across the country as soon as possible. "
When the three of them heard the president's instructions, they all understood it and stood up to salute.
"Yes, Mr. President."
Regardless of whether other members of the Eddie family are involved in this matter, as long as their family is investigated for separatist crimes, it absolutely means that the political life of this family is completely over.
It no longer matters whether they are innocent or actually involved.
Mr. President's words have made it clear that he is asking the investigation team to give an explanation to the people of the country, not to give the Eddie family an innocence.
This means that it does not matter whether the family is innocent or not. The key is to let the Brazilian people know that this family has been investigated by the government because of this matter.
When President Dutra saw that the three people had clearly accepted the order, he nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"We must respond quickly to the Japanese infringement of our territorial integrity.
I hope that your Ministry of National Defense can immediately dispatch troops to cleanly and completely eliminate the enemies that enter our territory. "
After General Moraes heard President Dutra's words, he said with a serious tone and firm eyes:
"Mr. President, please rest assured that our Brazilian Defense Force has the ability and confidence to destroy all invading enemies.
General Fang Lang's aircraft carrier battle group is ready to attack at any time.
As soon as Mr. President authorizes it, we will take action immediately.
Use the most powerful military force to make our enemies feel the despair of being our enemy. "
Following General Moraes' words, President Dutra looked at Fang Lang, nodded with a serious expression and said:
“Very well, tomorrow morning I will address Congress.
Officially authorizes the Ministry of Defense to conduct operations against the enemy in the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
General Fang’s aircraft carrier battle group is Brazil’s most powerful maritime force.
I believe you will not let me down. "
Looking into Mr. President's eyes, Fang Lang looked at him firmly and said seriously:
"Please rest assured, Mr. President,
Guaranteed to complete the task! "
The matter was urgent, and everyone did not stay long. They quickly left the presidential palace and began preparations according to their respective divisions of labor.
The next day, early in the morning.
It was still the Brazilian Times that announced this news to the outside world for the first time.
Suddenly, the whole of Brazil was in an uproar.
Especially the huge corpse pit and plaster flags fluttering in the wind in the photo on the front page.
Instantly ignited the anger of all Brazilian people.
When the newspaper mentioned that the weapons used by the Japanese on the island came from the support of the Eddie family.
The entire Eddie family was completely pushed to the forefront, and fell into a situation where everyone was shouting and beating.
Even Brissot Eddy's home was implicated. Demonstrators gathered in front of his home, throwing various stones and discarded wine bottles into their home.
There is no way to keep a complete door or window.
Unfortunately, the family members were arrested early in the morning by members of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency.
Otherwise, the Eddie family would definitely not be able to escape, and they might be torn apart alive by the angry people.
In the morning, the President and the Minister of Defense delivered speeches in Congress, officially ordering the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group to go to the Fernando de Noronha Islands to regain lost territory.
It was also proposed at the meeting that Japan should be officially listed as a permanent enemy.
This proposal was unanimously approved at the meeting.
Brazilian TV stations seized the opportunity immediately and conducted the first full live broadcast, allowing Brazilian news to spread in advance and entering the audio-visual era.
For the first time, the people saw the President delivering a speech in Congress. The streets were empty for a while, and all public places where TV sets were placed were packed with people.
Many wealthy people said on the spot without hesitation that they wanted to buy a TV set to watch at home, and the TV promotion campaign was officially launched.
It can be said that he was the king in the beginning.
In an instant, a new thing like television entered people's horizons.
Fang Lang, on the other hand, had already flown back to his naval base on a special plane as early as dawn.
By the time the plane landed at the base, the base had already entered a war-ready state.
The warships on the dock have all started, and truckloads of military supplies are being transported to the warships.
Heavily armed soldiers were lining up, and from time to time, teams that had completed their formation marched toward the dock in neat steps.
Because there were no landing ships, the two tank landing ships managed by Colonel Waldo Gramma came in handy.
According to the combat plan, all landing troops will directly board tank landing ships and rush to the island.
Only then did Fang Lang realize that perhaps his army really lacked an amphibious armored force.
I have always felt that as a Brazilian army, we may never have the opportunity to conduct operations on the island.
I didn’t expect reality to hit me so quickly. It seems I really can’t take too big a step!
Didn't you accidentally hit the egg?
Fortunately, there are two tank landing craft donated by the United States, which can directly send people to the coast. Otherwise, fishing boats may have to be requisitioned.
