Chizzy Whiteman clearly had evil intentions behind his words, but at this time Ivy Gilmore was really a little over the top. After all, in his mind, he had just lost at least one tank battalion of tanks.
As for whether this tank really belongs to him, it is no longer important. After being repeatedly provoked by Chizzy Whiteman, he couldn't bear it and stood up with a slap on his thigh and said:
"No, we can't continue to be silent like this. We should make our voices heard and let those damn guys understand that there are still tough guys like us in the army. If they dare to ignore us! They will pay a heavy price. "
Hearing this, Chizzy Whiteman's eyes flashed and he said nervously:
"Speaking of our own voice? Ivy, please don't mess around! You and I are very humble in the army. If you don't do anything right, you may be kicked out. By then, we will have no place to cry!"
Ivy Gilmore, who was already in the upper hand, almost gave in when he heard Chizzy Whiteman. He was not willing to comply. After glaring at the other party with some dissatisfaction, he said with a little disdain:
"General, when did you become so timid and fearful?"
In response to his contemptuous words, Chizzy Whiteman was not angry, but continued to comfort him in a low voice:
"Oops! Ivey, you have been staying here these past few years. You don't know the situation of the Army Department. The current Army Department is no longer the former Army Department."
“So what if it’s different, and because it’s different, we should take the initiative to find ways to return the Army to tradition, return to its peak, and take control of the entire Ministry of National Defense.
If the Army like you and me who are still persisting retreats, then our Army really has no hope. "
These words seemed to pierce Chizzy Whiteman's heart deeply. For a moment, he lowered his head as he didn't know what to say. He seemed to be thinking about self-blame. After a while, he slowly raised his head. road:
"Avi, you are right. We cannot retreat. We cannot let the Army's tradition sink like this. We must regain control of the Ministry of Defense. Tell us! What are you going to do? I will fully support you."
In just a few words, Chizzy Whiteman had already picked himself out, as if everything was Ivy Gilmore's own idea.
At this time, Ivy Gilmore was not aware of this problem, and was still thinking seriously about how to make his voice heard.
But perhaps because he had been away from the central government in the past few years, he really didn't know much about the situation in the War Department, and for a while he couldn't think of a good way to speak out.
After a long while, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly:
"All I could think of was to write directly to the Secretary of War, or rush directly into the other party's office and express my opinion. But I knew that these were useless."
After saying that, he became a little downcast.
Chizzy Whiteman, who was still looking forward to it, was stunned after hearing Ivy Gilmore's words. He thought to himself, I have taken off my pants, and you are going to show me this?
At the same time, I couldn't help but be a little more vigilant, and carefully looked at the other party for a while to confirm whether the other party had discovered anything. Fortunately, after careful observation, I found that the other party really didn't think of any good solution.
Thinking about the other party's character again, I felt relieved quickly. This guy can only be said to be a little smart, but more often than not, he is still a reckless man. There are many twists and turns. If you don't explain it clearly to him, he won't do it. You must be able to react. This is also the reason why I came to him specifically.
It seems that some of my previous strategies are not working. If I don't take the initiative to break it, my trip this time may be in vain.
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and said:
"I've already done what you said, and it's really of no use, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to complain to you today.
However, after what you said, I thought of a good idea. Since you, like me, are dissatisfied with the current situation, and our voices alone are not enough.
Can we find more like-minded people and unite to speak out together? "
Hearing this, Ivy Gilmore's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly:
"Yes! We can unite more people! With more like-minded people, I don't believe those guys in the Army Department dare to ignore our opinions.
If they still dare to ignore us, I will lead troops to surround his War Department. Let’s see if they dare not listen. "
As soon as these words came out, Chizzy Whiteman, who was just thinking about how to lead the topic, flashed in his eyes, raised his head a little involuntarily, and the eyes he looked at the other party began to become meaningful.
But he is a veteran and knows that many things need to be struck while the iron is hot, but some big things are too much and require a step-by-step approach. Therefore, he took a deep breath and deliberately did not discuss the matter of leading troops to surround the Army Ministry. Instead, he took the initiative to ask:
"Do you know many people like this?"
"Of course, although I am not in the Army Department, I often talk about this topic with many junior officers, and there are indeed a few who feel the same as me.
It should be no problem to invite them to speak out together. "
When Chizzy Whiteman heard this, his eyes naturally lit up and he quickly said:
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's see when we can get everyone together to discuss it. Let's see how to make the loudest voice so that the gentlemen in the War Department can also listen to our opinions."
Hearing this, Ivy Gilmore, who had looked eager to try just now, actually became a little quiet. After seeming to hesitate for a moment, he slowly said:
"However, if we are discovered in this secret connection, we will have to go to a military court."
When Chizzy Whiteman, who was in high spirits, heard this, he became angry, slapped his forehead and said:
"Didn't you just say that if the Ministry of War dared not pay attention to our opinions, you would lead troops to surround the Ministry of War?
Why don't you even dare to contact like-minded people now? "
After seeing Chizzy Whiteman's expression, Ivy Gilmore seemed to suddenly think of something. After looking at him up and down with some suspicion, he suddenly approached him and said in a low voice:
"That's not right! General, you know all these people I know! And as the deputy chief of staff, it is easier for you to contact them than for me! Why don't I tell you the list and you can contact them!
Moreover, since you are the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, your words carry more weight and they must believe you even more. At that time, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to directly lead us to raise our demands to the Ministry of War? "
Chizzy Whiteman, who was looked at by Ivy Gilmore's suspicious eyes, thought that the other party had discovered his purpose of deliberately guiding him, and was so frightened that his palms began to sweat.
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 what he wants.
From the beginning, he never thought about giving up his identity as the organizer. The reason why he took the initiative to guide the other party through words was just to guide the other party on the path he designed. As for how to finally gain control of the action, he already had his own plan.
Unexpectedly, the progress of the matter was beyond his expectation. The other party took the initiative to push him out without him guiding him to any step. This brought a smile to his lips.
"No problem. Since you have concerns, I will organize this matter. However, based on my understanding of our Army Minister, even if we gather everyone together to put forward our demands, he may not agree.
So, I think we'd better be prepared. "
Seeing Chizzy Whiteman agreeing to come forward without hesitation, Ivy Gilmore, who was still a little doubtful, immediately felt relieved.
After listening to Chizzy Whiteman's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at him with some confusion and said:
"Be prepared? What do you mean?"
This time Chizzy Whiteman did not dodge, but stared at the opponent with a serious face and said:
"That's what you just said. If it doesn't work, we will directly lead troops to surround the Ministry of War and force the Minister of War to express his position. I don't believe he dares not to listen to us."
From his serious expression, Ivy Gilmore could tell that the other party was not joking, and he was obviously ready to burn the boat.
But at this time, he did not raise any objection. For a division commander like him who holds real power, he has long been accustomed to using his military power to speak. This is why he is willing to stay on the front line and lead troops.
"Okay, since General Whiteman dares to stand up for us, I am naturally willing to risk my life and work with you. However, my troops will not be evacuated for another week, and if I want to transfer to Rio de Janeiro, I need to obtain a transfer order from the Ministry of Defense.
Otherwise, I would have no chance at all to move the troops to Rio de Janeiro. "
Hearing this, a smile flashed across Chizzy Whiteman's eyes, but his face showed a look of serious thinking. After a long while, as if he thought of something, he patted his thigh and said:
"Okay! You have ordered me to find a way to ensure that your troops pass through Rio de Janeiro. However, I want to remind you that if we really surround the Army Department, we may be attacked by the capital's garrison.
You'd better prepare accordingly. "
Ivey Gilmore obviously didn't expect that the other party could actually get him a transfer order. Although he is a reckless man, he is not a fool. It was indeed impulsive before that he said what he said about surrounding the Army Ministry.
However, he knew that this was impossible, because the station where his troops were stationed was not the capital, and there was no need to pass through the capital when returning to the station. Therefore, it is impossible to really lead troops to siege the Army Department.
And when he asked for a transfer order from the Ministry of National Defense, he was actually telling the other party that this matter was simply impossible to succeed. After all, the other party was only the deputy chief of staff of the Army Department, and it was impossible to obtain a transfer order from the Ministry of Defense.
But now what he thought was impossible has happened. If he still can't react at this time, he will not be qualified to become the leader of a division.
Especially when he heard the other party saying that he was ready to fight the capital garrison, he already fully understood the other party's thoughts. The eyes he looked at the other party began to become wary, but he also understood that he had said these words himself, and it was definitely impossible to regret it now.
If not, the other party will directly use these words to stab him to the top. At that time, whether the top believes it or not, his future will be completely ruined.
Therefore, his eyes couldn't help but become fierce as he watched Chizzy Whiteman slowly speak word by word:
"So, you wanted to encourage me to launch a mutiny from the beginning, right? Can you tell me who participated? Don't tell me that you are in charge. It's not that I look down on you. You can't get the Ministry of National Defense at all. transfer order."
Seeing the look in his eyes, Chizzy Whiteman didn't feel scared at all, he just smiled and said:
"How can you say that I instigated you to launch a mutiny! Didn't you take the initiative to besiege the War Department? I was just reminding you of the situations you may face if you do so!"
Ivey Gilmore understood that this was because he did not clearly express his attitude and the other party did not believe him, so he deliberately set him up to remind him that he had come up with the idea himself.
At this moment, he also knew in his heart that he was already riding a tiger. If he proposed to withdraw now, not only those who conspired to launch a rebellion would not let him go. If they spread what he said today, the actual controller of the Ministry of National Defense will not let him go.
As a soldier, he naturally has the decisiveness in his character. After taking a deep look at the other party, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Since I said this personally, I will naturally not break my promise. As long as I receive the transfer order, I will lead my troops to Rio de Janeiro as soon as possible to cooperate with your actions."
Hearing this, the smile on Chizzy Whiteman's face instantly became more sincere. He patted Ivy Gilmore's arm hard and said:
"Haha... Good brother, I know you won't let me down. Don't worry! I won't treat you badly when the matter is done. You will be our Minister of War when the time comes. What do you think?"
At this time, Ivy Gilmore's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he looked at the other party in surprise and said:
"It turns out that your goal is not the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Defense. You are planning to directly overthrow the current government. Do you think we can accomplish such a big thing with just a few of us?"
It has to be said that Ivy Gilmore's intelligence obviously exceeded Chizzy Whiteman's expectations. He only promised to elect him as the Secretary of the Army. He then thought that his goal was not just the Ministry of Defense, but to directly launch a coup to overthrow him. The current democratically elected government.
This matter is obviously very difficult. The difficulty is not only controlling the current government, but also how to gain recognition from the outside world. After all, this is an era of globalization, and Brazil also has a certain influence internationally.
If the establishment of a new government is not recognized by the outside world, it will be a joke and it may be overthrown by more powerful forces at any time. At that time, all of them will have to pay the price with their lives.
"Haha... You said there is someone else behind me. If we are not absolutely sure, how could I dare to do such a big thing."
From the other party's expression, Ivy Gilmore knew that he was not prepared to confess to himself, but he was certain that there were definitely other people behind him.
It's a pity that the other party obviously doesn't fully believe me yet. Even if he continues to ask questions, he will definitely not be able to get the real answer! It is better to pocket the benefits promised by the other party first.
"Okay, since it's not convenient for you to say more, I won't ask any more questions. We have been friends for more than thirty years, and I trust you. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
