Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

Chapter 721

After a long while, General Crook seemed to have remembered something and continued to ask:

 “How is the situation with the garrison?”

"Judging from the current situation, the garrison division is really trusted. As soon as they received the order, they entered the city and completed the siege of the train station. Now our people have not found any trace of their headquarters. An abnormal situation occurs.”

Hearing this, General Crook sighed and said:

“In other words, the only available force in our capital now is this garrison division, right?”

 “So far, yes!”

No matter how difficult the reality was, Blackwell had to tell the hard truth honestly.

Hearing this, General Crook glanced around, with a wry smile on his face.

“Well done, it seems that the Army has really been abolished, so don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

 After saying that, his face became solemn, and he stood upright. The decadent look on his face just now was completely gone. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Come here, please pass on our military order to revoke the 1st Armored Division and the 102nd Motorized Infantry Division from their positions as chief officers at regimental level and above, and formally notify the outside world that these two armies are rebels. In the name of the Ministry of National Defense, order the two armies to return to their original positions immediately and wait for the National Defense Ministry takes over.”

Everyone thought that General Crook was going to directly order the troops to take action against these two rebels! The result was that the official position was revoked and the compatriots became rebels. Now that the other party has chosen to rebel, who will take the orders of the Ministry of National Defense seriously?

 Needless to say, let’s ask the other side to wait for the Ministry of National Defense to take over. Don’t ask whether the other side will stand still and wait for you to take over. Just ask who in the Ministry of National Defense is willing to come out and take over this hot potato at this time? Isn't it like lighting a lamp in the toilet to seek death?

 So, many people in the headquarters had different expressions. Some looked embarrassed, some had a playful expression, and some simply covered their faces. What everyone has not discovered is that until now, even the regiment that occupied the train station surrounded by the garrison has not been officially recognized as a rebel by compatriots.

No matter what everyone thinks, General Letta, as the chief of general staff, knows that this is a normal process and this step must be taken, otherwise it will be unjust and unreasonable to destroy these rebels. Therefore, he stood up straight away and said firmly:

 “Yes, Your Excellency General.”

 After speaking, he began to order his subordinates to carry out the orders.

When this order was passed to the 1st Armored Division headquarters, the commander, Major General Reshati Gordon, smiled disdainfully and said:

"Our Deputy Minister of National Defense hasn't figured out the situation by now, right? We have already made such obvious actions, and he still thinks we will obey his orders? Is he not so clear-headed? !”

The division chief of staff beside him also joked with a smile:

“This guy may be used to giving orders in the navy, and he thinks that our army will be like those trash fishes in the navy, obeying his orders without hesitation!”

Hearing the ridicule from his chief of staff, Reshati Gordon also burst out laughing.

"Since he wants to remove me from my post and declare us to be rebels, we will simply declare directly to the outside world that we oppose the autocratic power of the Deputy Secretary of Defense and persecute our colleagues in the Army. At the same time, we oppose the Scalia government's communist policy and demand that the government Re-election.”

 These slogans, in fact, they have already thought about them, and now they are just taking the opportunity to release them. After all, no rebellion is without cause. There must always be a high-sounding reason to gain widespread recognition and support from society.

 Otherwise, if you simply lead troops to overthrow the government, even if you succeed, you will be cursed.

“Yes, Your Majesty General. Do we want to talk to the 102nd Motorized Infantry Division?”

"Hehe... no need, don't worry! As long as we show our attitude to the outside world, they will naturally know what to do."

Hearing this, the chief of staff also nodded, without saying much, and directly started to power on the outside in accordance with the division commander's request.

Things did not go as Reshati Gordon expected. After their 1st Armored Division issued this power supply, the 102nd Motorized Infantry Division quickly issued the same power supply.

Although the contents of the telegrams released by the two sides were almost identical, Fang Lang, who was attending a counter-insurgency meeting at the Ministry of National Defense, still saw the relationship between the two and couldn't help but said to General Crook:

 “Why don’t these two guys seem to be in the same group?”

Hearing this, General Crook looked at Fang Lang with some confusion and said:

“The statements they issued are exactly the same! Why do you think they are not the same group?”

“Time! Look, more than an hour after the 1st Armored Division announced its power, the 102nd Motorized Infantry Division issued the same statement to the outside world. Doesn’t this explain the problem?

If they are really a group, they must either speak out in a unified way, or they must speak out at the same time. How could it be like now, with one side taking the lead and the other side taking a stance more than an hour later?

 Unless, although the two are accomplices, they have no affiliation with each other. "

General Crook's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this. After Fang Lang said this, it was really possible! Thinking again that Chizzy Whiteman, who summoned the rebels from the south, didn't know who the rebels were in Rio de Janeiro, he immediately had a guess.

I couldn’t help but clapped my hands and said:

"Haha... Listening to what you said, I think it is really possible. It seems that they are easier to deal with than we thought!"

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile and said:

 “Haha…then it depends on your methods, General!”

Hearing Fang Lang's words, the generals in the conference room were a little confused, but the officers who had joined the counter-insurgency headquarters of the Presidential Palace early also started to smile.

 Obviously, everyone's confidence in this counter-insurgency operation is much greater than what outsiders see.

 Just after the 1st Armored Division and the 102nd Motorized Infantry Division officially stated their stance to the outside world and announced that they would overthrow the current government. The Department of Defense's counterinsurgency operations officially began.

 To the surprise of the 1st Armored Division and the 102nd Motorized Infantry Division, the Ministry of National Defense did not deploy the garrison division surrounding the train station due to a shortage of troops.

At this moment, the armored division commander Reshati Gordon, who was riding in his armored command vehicle and leading his armored division slowly approaching Rio de Janeiro from the western front station in Rio de Janeiro, asked the chief of staff beside him somewhat unexpectedly. :

"Do you think this old guy Crook was fooled by our sudden betrayal? They knew that we were approaching Rio de Janeiro, but they didn't take any action. Has this meant that they have given up resistance?" Hearing this, the chief of staff also looked puzzled and said:

"Yes! Although he doesn't have much troops on hand now, at least the garrison division should be mobilized! Otherwise, with the strength of one garrison division, he would surround the regiment at the train station and watch us helplessly. Directly control the entire Rio de Janeiro.

 Isn't he ready to surrender? "

"This should be impossible. If he is really ready to surrender, he will not take action against the rebels coming from the south."

"Could it be that he didn't expect that there would be a regiment from the south that broke through his blockade, and our defection before the battle made him lose his position?"

"No, I am very familiar with him. He is not such an incompetent person, unless he has other means to deal with us."

"Other means? We have already controlled the surrounding train lines, and they have no chance to mobilize troops from other places for reinforcements. Even if he can mobilize troops, by the time they enter Rio, we will have completely controlled the government .

 There is no point for them to come in again! "

Hearing this, Reshati Gordon fell into deep contemplation. As the commander of the Army's First Armored Division, although he was only a division-level commander in the Army, his identity and status were still very high, because he The unit under his command is one of the only two armored divisions in Brazil.

 It can also be regarded as Brazil’s ace unit. When the new government was established, in order to retain his position as division commander, he also shamelessly paid a personal visit to the powerful figure in the War Department, General Crook.

 In his impression, General Crook was not a simple figure. To be able to directly supersede the Minister of Defense and control the Ministry of National Defense required means and abilities that ordinary people could not compare with.

At the beginning, if I had not had the support of Marshal Morais, the other party might not have given me a chance to meet him, let alone let me continue to serve as the commander of the First Armored Division.

 Later, as the other party gained more and more power in the Ministry of National Defense, I also attached myself very seriously and expressed my loyalty to the other party. If the Americans hadn't given him so much this time, he wouldn't have even thought of participating in the rebellion.

Now if General Crook was to say that he was completely unable to deal with their rebellion, or was simply frightened, he would never believe it.

While he was still deep in thought, he suddenly heard some unusual noises coming from outside. He couldn't help but tremble all over, and had some bad premonitions in his heart. He quickly put his head close to the observation window and looked out.

He saw a group of small black figures slowly approaching in the distant sky. After seeing these small black figures, he finally understood why General Crook had been silent since he made the statement. It turns out that the opponent's method does not lie with the Army.

Having figured everything out, he had no time to continue thinking and shouted directly like a conditioned reflex:

“In the event of an enemy attack, the entire army shall be prepared for air defense, and all anti-aircraft firepower will be launched immediately.”

Although his reaction speed was not slow, it was obviously too late for the advancing armored division to quickly deploy its air defense formation.

This arrogant armored division drove directly to Rio de Janeiro in such a swaggering manner, it was like a feast on the table. Let a flock of vultures in the sky pick whatever they want.

The chief of staff, who had been staying beside Reshati Gordon, heard his division commander's frightened words that had changed his tone, and immediately reacted. He quickly picked up the intercom in his hand and began to convey the order.

These officers and soldiers of the First Armored Division were advancing on Brazil's own soil. They did not expect to be attacked by anyone, and it was also an attack by the air force. Therefore, they were very relaxed and comfortable during the entire march.

As for the approach of air force aircraft in the distance, the radar soldiers did not pay too much attention after discovering it. This resulted in them not starting to react until the Air Force came into sight and the voice reached the ears of the division commander, Reshati Gordon.

But it was obviously too late. The anti-aircraft firepower of the latecomers only had time to brake and turn. The aircraft in the sky had already opened their bomb bays, and with the bombs that could be easily guided, they headed straight towards Reshati. When Gordon, the commander's position, fell.

Only then did Reshati Gordon realize that it was not that the Ministry of National Defense had no power to deal with him, but that the power used by the other party was not the power he imagined at all.

While he was still thinking about how to fight the enemy on the ground, the enemy was already thinking about how he could withstand several rounds of bombings.

As the plane bombing began, the long armored convoy on the ground instantly became a mess. They were on a relatively spacious road. There were dense woods on the left side of the road, and a grassland on the right. There is also a group of cattle and sheep grazing with their heads down.

In order to avoid the bombing, the entire convoy rushed down the land base. Most of the tanks wisely chose to rush into the dense jungle, trying to use the cover of the jungle to avoid the bombing from the air.

 The other half of the dizzy tanks rushed directly into the grassland on the right and hit the fence of the grassland, exposing themselves to an even more open wilderness.

In the panicked convoy, Reshati Gordon's command vehicle was not conspicuous, but for some reason, Reshati Gordon always felt as if the bombers in the sky had eyes, and all the bombings were focused on him. Within two hundred meters of the command vehicle.

When a nearby tank was thrown off by the shock wave of the bomb and hit his command vehicle hard, he finally made up his mind to jump out of the vehicle and leave his command vehicle because he felt that the current command vehicle was just a mouthpiece. The coffin could be blown up into the sky at any time, so it would be safer to lie on the ground.

So, after the command vehicle was knocked to the side and unable to move, he hurriedly pushed open the somewhat deformed hatch, rolling and crawling on the ground in an attempt to get further away from his command vehicle.

But just less than ten meters after he left the command vehicle, a dull anti-tank gunshot came from the dense forest in the distance. Immediately afterwards, his entire left arm and left half of his chest were blown away. He didn't even have time to react before he immediately lost his vital signs.

The staff officer who crawled out immediately behind him was stunned by the blood and flesh splattered all over his head and face. Fortunately, they were all veterans who had participated in the European War, and they only took two breaths to react.

He looked around in horror and shouted in a sharp voice:

 “There are snipers, take cover, quickly take cover, there are snipers.”

 But his voice could not travel very far in the fierce explosion. Of course, even if it could travel far, the people around him might not be able to hear it.

 After all, blood was oozing from both of his own ears, and even he couldn't hear what he shouted. How can he let the people around him hear clearly!

The whole person had been shaken top-heavy by the shock wave of the explosion around him. The chief of staff, who was somewhat unsteady on his feet, just wanted to step forward to help his division commander up when he felt something hit him, and then there was a burst of pain in his waist. Unbearable pain.

 When he lowered his head to check, he found that a hole as big as a bowl had been made in his abdominal cavity. When he wanted to say something, no sound came out of his mouth, but blood kept pouring out of his mouth.
