After receiving Fang Lang's instructions, Chief of Staff de la Torre naturally nodded and obeyed.
"Yes, boss,
I think the Ministry of National Defense will definitely support our proposal this time. Even if we don’t mention it, the Ministry of National Defense will definitely ask us to station troops on the island.
After all, no one wants such trouble to happen again. "
This is true. This incident must have alerted the Brazilian government. A large island is isolated overseas and does not even have a garrison.
Next time something like this happens, it will be difficult to explain to the people.
"Haha...this is the best.
I think the scenery on this island is very good! The water is so clear that some holiday cabins can be built on the island in the future.
Let the military families of our fleet also have the opportunity to come over and relax! "
Fang Lang knew that this would be one of the most famous tourist attractions in Brazil in later generations, so he spoke directly and secured a resort for the military dependents of his fleet.
Everyone talked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the original Japanese camp, looking at the camp that had been bombed into ruins.
Fang Lang said with emotion:
"Fortunately, we have air superiority and can directly use bombers to bomb these bastards.
The enemy was directly destroyed, otherwise if we relied on the Marines to land on the beach, we would definitely have to pay a lot of casualties.
This time even though we had an absolute advantage, we still suffered casualties. This is very inappropriate.
After returning, the soldiers must sum up the experience of this battle.
Look for the problems that were exposed this time to avoid them in the future.
At least I feel like everyone is just too eager and the space is uncoordinated.
It is clearly planned that the second batch of aviation troops will be used to support the Marine Corps' offensive at any time.
As a result, these guys rushed up first and bombarded the enemy wildly.
The Marine Corps' cooperation with the Air Force was completely out of touch when attacking.
In the future, we should focus on training on air-ground coordination projects so that Marines will get used to seeking support from aviation when they encounter a tough nut to crack. "
De La Torre on the side also said with emotion:
"I am from the navy, so I didn't understand the tactics of the army, let alone the tactics of the air force.
However, after this period of communication with American instructors, I also had a preliminary concept.
But listening to them, there are still many things that they don’t understand.
Today's battle opened my eyes.
It seems that the future battlefields may be dominated by the Air Force!
At first, you repeatedly insisted that you must have your own aircraft carrier. I didn't quite understand it, but now I understand your strategic vision. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang patted his shoulder, nodded in approval and said:
“I also made up my mind after seeing the powerful combat effectiveness of aircraft on the Pacific battlefield.
You are from the navy and I am from the army. The force we have now is a powerful military force integrating the sea, land and air forces.
We all must study hard and learn to reflect and summarize.
We cannot lose touch with advanced military concepts.
Now we're learning from one of the world's most powerful military powers, but that's not enough.
Although American products are advanced, they are too expensive.
We have no way of burning as much money as they do, so after we master their ideas and gameplay, we have to start exploring some of our own things.
Therefore, after returning, we must set off a trend of active learning throughout the fleet. Whether it is military commanders or soldiers, they must start learning after training.
Only by learning can we become a smart army, and only by being smart can we win more battles. "
De La Torre nodded in agreement and said seriously to Fang Lang:
"Boss, don't worry! We will definitely implement your ideas seriously.
We guarantee that our fleet will become the most combat-effective force in Brazil. "
Since he was leading troops to fight, Fang Lang certainly wanted to lead a force with strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, Fang Lang had very strict training requirements for his troops.
By hiring a corps of American instructors and conducting basic training for the Marines for as long as six months, we can see his expectations for the military's combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that he is a hands-off shopkeeper who is used to making his own requests and leaving specific matters to the people below to implement them.
De La Torre was his most important assistant. Hearing the other party's statement, he nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at the Brazilian flag flying on the camp flagpole, then looked at the surrounding environment, and asked:
“Is this the stupid little flagpole where the Japanese flag hangs?
Unexpectedly, the flagpole still persisted despite the surrounding areas being bombed like this.
This was deliberately left here to hang the national flag for us! "
Then he turned to look at Duarte aside and said:
“Did you take any video when you lowered the Japanese flag and raised our flag?
This is a historic moment. "
Duarte's face had always been unsightly, and he finally managed to get the attack mission, but by the time the 1st Marine Battalion landed, the battle was already over.
They can only come up to perform the task of cleaning the battlefield.
After hearing Fang Lang's question, he stood at attention and saluted:
"Boss, please don't worry!
The photographer followed the commando team to the island. When the commando team occupied the Japanese camp, the photographer took pictures throughout the process.
The scenes of taking down the Japanese flag and raising our Brazilian flag are fully recorded. "
Looking at the other party's expression, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Why, from the look of you, you're not very happy that you didn't get the fight!"
Duarte was trained by Fang Lang and helped him control the Marine Corps.
It turns out that when he was on the destroyer House, he led the sailors to rescue a British destroyer controlled by the Germans. He was a capable Marine officer.
After hearing Fang Lang's question, Duarte smiled sheepishly.
"No, no, it's just that these Japanese dwarfs are a little bit rough.
When we came up, they had been cleared by the commando brothers. "
Although he said no, it was clear that he was not satisfied with not winning the battle.
Fang Lang glanced at him and said seriously:
“Generally speaking, the commando team’s performance this time was pretty good and basically met the training requirements.
But it also exposed many problems.
Facing a group of untrained Japanese civilians, it was really unfair to pay the price of five casualties.
Tell me, why does this happen? "
Seeing Fang Lang's serious expression, Duarte quickly adjusted his mood, raised his head and chest towards Fang Lang, and said seriously:
"Yes, boss,
According to what I learned from the commandos, the team members did not encounter enemy resistance in the early stage, which made them relax their vigilance.
The aviation bombing of the remaining Japanese made them anxious.
The failure to strictly follow the tactical actions caused loopholes in the offensive formation and gave the Japanese a chance to die together.
In addition, everyone was unfamiliar with the terrain and environment here, which caused loopholes in everyone's cooperation. "
Nodding, Fang Lang slowly said:
“It’s not bad to be able to find your own mistakes.
After returning home, let everyone summarize and discuss methods to see if there is any way to avoid the same problem next time.
In addition, we must pay attention to the issue you raised about being unfamiliar with the environment and terrain.
A lot of the terrain on our side is jungle.
The performance of our soldiers this time was obviously not familiar with jungle warfare.
Of course, this has something to do with the training we received from American instructors. Their tactics did not include jungle warfare tactics.
But we have a huge Amazon jungle in Brazil.
In the future, the main battlefield of our army may also be in the jungle, so the Marine Corps must focus on studying what jungle combat is like.
Carry out more targeted training.
There are many excellent hunters in the Amazon jungle. We need to recruit some excellent hunters to teach our warriors how to survive and fight in the jungle.
We must never appear again on our own territory, with unfamiliar surroundings and terrain.
Ultimately, we must form our own set of jungle warfare theories and tactics. "
After Duarte heard Fang Lang's words, he nodded repeatedly. Especially when he heard that he would ask for advice from excellent hunters living in the Amazon jungle, his eyes lit up.
He quickly stood at attention and accepted the order.
It was a messy battlefield, and there wasn’t much to see.
After Fang Lang walked around the Japanese camp, accompanied by everyone, he left the island and returned to the warship.
The first battalion of the Marines who had not won the battle was left on the island to clean up the remaining enemies, and then led the fleet back to Natal.
Early the next morning, the video of the battle was broadcast on Brazilian television.
When the Brazilian people saw the powerful aircraft carrier fleet launching an attack on the island, everyone was excited.
In the past, everyone could only read boring words in newspapers and describe the cruelty of war.
But this time there was a powerful aircraft carrier fleet on the TV. Planes took off one after another from the aircraft carrier deck.
Flying from the sky towards the camp with the Japanese flag, he dropped aerial bombs one after another, triggering a huge explosion in the sky.
Everyone looked shocked as they looked at the battlefield that was bombed into chaos in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, the cannons on the warship aimed together, fired round after round, and the flames sprayed from the muzzles. This shocking scene made all the men tremble with excitement.
I wish I could be in it and become a naval warrior.
Then the Marines, escorted by landing craft, rushed onto the beach.
Under the cover of shields, the warriors performed a series of tactical moves, which made everyone look confused but seemed to think they were very powerful.
The scene of exchanging fire with the Japanese in the jungle made everyone terrified and worried.
Finally, after the victory of the war, when the soldiers pulled down the Japanese flag and raised the Brazilian flag, all the people cheered, sang and danced.
The enthusiastic Brazilian girl danced samba to express her excitement.
People also joined in, and the place where the TV was placed became a sea of joy for people.
On the contrary, the entire Eddie family has become a shame to the whole of Brazil, almost to the point where everyone is shouting for beatings.
The police officers who have close relations with the Eddie family are also in deep panic.
Because, just yesterday, the news that the Attorney General proposed to Mr. President to rectify the national police system has spread.
Everyone was very worried about a liquidation.
People were panicked for a while.
The Ministry of Justice inspection team led by the Minister of Justice took a special plane early in the morning and flew to Natal, a very humble city in Brazil.
Fang Lang, who had just returned to Natal Naval Base, received the news immediately.
After finishing the finishing work after the army went out for the expedition.
Fang Lang hosted a banquet for Justice Minister Carles Cayo at Deyilou, a Chinese restaurant in Natal.
"General Fang, thank you very much for your hospitality.
First of all, on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, I would like to apologize to you! "
As soon as Mr. Minister opened his mouth, his attitude was very low, and there was no trace of the airs of the Brazilian real power.
This situation was something Fang Lang had not expected. Fang Lang quickly said modestly:
"Minister Cayo, you are so polite. If I remember correctly, this should be our first meeting.
You have nothing to say sorry to me!
Don't let me, a young man, get hurt. "
Minister Carles Cayo heard Fang Lang's answer and thought that the other party didn't know yet that the person who assassinated him was a member of the Eddie family.
So, after holding hands and hugging each other, he said:
"General Fang, I apologize to you for a reason.
Regarding your last assassination in Sao Paulo, the investigation has been taken over by our Ministry of Justice.
But so much time has passed and there has been no progress.
This is the responsibility of our Department of Justice, and on behalf of our entire Department of Justice, I must apologize to you. "
When Fang Lang heard this, he laughed, pointed to the main seat of the dining table and said:
"Mr. Minister is joking, this case is very difficult to investigate.
I know it very well, so I don't blame you.
This is not worthy of Mr. Minister's personal trip today. "
In fact, Fang Lang had already received news from General Crook, and had a clear understanding of the main purpose of the Attorney General's visit.
But he would not take the initiative to stir up the topic.
So, I chose to play dumb.
The Minister of Justice smiled awkwardly and said:
"First of all, when I come here this time, I want to inform you about the progress of the investigation of this case.
According to the confession of Raymond Eddy, it was he who organized and planned your assassination.
At that time, the commander who organized the gang members to ambush the scene was his bodyguard. "
"What? My assassin was Raymond Eddy?
It doesn’t make sense! I don't know him at all! "Fang Lang looked at Minister Carles Cayo with a look of disbelief.
Carles Cayo didn't know whether Fang Lang really didn't know or if he pretended not to know.
You must know that this matter was not investigated by the Ministry of Justice.
Even if Fang Lang doesn't know what's going on now, he will soon receive news that it is the Brazilian Intelligence Agency who investigated the truth.
Therefore, Carles Cayo must not recognize this credit.
He could only nodded awkwardly and said:
"Yes! We didn't expect that this crazy guy would dare to attack you.
As his superior, I must express my apology to you. "
Fang Lang still waved his hands with a puzzled look on his face and said:
"Minister Kayo, is there any misunderstanding here?
I have never interacted with this Mr. Raymond Eddy. There is no reason why he would let someone assassinate me! "
The reason why Fang Lang wanted to pretend to be stupid in front of Minister Carles Cayo was to minimize his influence in this matter.
After all, in recent days, a series of news reports have been digging into Raymond Eddy.
The first to report and have first-hand information was the Brazilian Times.
Everyone knows that the Brazilian Times is the property of the Fang family, which will inevitably cause doubts among interested people.
If someone finally analyzes it and suspects that all this is a conspiracy by Fang Lang to bring down the Eddie family, it will be troublesome.
