This is the story of a modern sailor who accidentally becomes a soldier in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and, by relying on his foresight, eventually becomes the head of the largest financial ...
With a few dull explosions, the entire window of the train carriage was blown away. At the same time, the explosion shattered the glass of the window, and the broken glass splashed everywhere in the carriage.
The officers were forced to take quick evasive actions. Some tried to crouch down, some tried to raise their hands to stop it, and some simply hid behind others.
Just as everyone was dodging, a fully armed soldier jumped into the carriage slickly via a rope from each broken window.
By the time everyone reacted, the carriage had been completely controlled by the group of soldiers. Facing the fully armed soldiers, the rebel officers dared not put up any resistance. They could only obediently hand over their weapons and be completely controlled.
At the same time, a strange voice soon came from the radio in the train.
"All soldiers on the train, please take note. I am Major General Hanks, Director of the Political Department of the Ministry of Defense. On behalf of the Ministry of Defense, I now order everyone to lay down their weapons, leave the carriages in an orderly manner, and assemble on the platform.
This incident is mainly a rebellion plot by a group of officers led by Chiz Whiteman. You are all innocent victims involved. We will only hold the main culprit accountable and will not have any impact on you. Therefore, please take the initiative to cooperate with our actions. "
Hearing this, all the officers and soldiers in the carriage looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought they were being attacked and were all ready to fight back. But now the other side told them that this was a counterinsurgency operation and they were on the rebel side.
Looking at the soldiers outside the window who were wearing the same uniforms as them and the scene of being ready for battle, they began to understand a little bit.
...
...
After the voice on the radio emphasized it several times, someone finally tried to follow what was said on the radio, put down his weapon and walked out of the carriage. When he came out of the carriage, he was not treated roughly. An officer came forward to register his information, checked his ID, and took him aside to rest.
With someone taking the lead, the remaining soldiers naturally had no scruples and began to follow the instructions on the broadcast, leaving the carriages in an orderly manner and gathering at the platform outside.
Compared to the peaceful treatment enjoyed by ordinary soldiers, the officers were obviously much more miserable. They were disarmed, handcuffed and hooded, and thrown directly into a sealed prison van.
Any resistance would result in a severe beating by the escorting soldiers. The main culprit, Chiz Whiteman, received extra attention. He was hit on the head with the butts of the soldiers' guns and even the hood on his head was stained with blood.
In this way, the rebel army that he had organized with great difficulty hastily ended its mission in an almost sloppy manner.
Until he was caught, he didn't figure out what went wrong. When he was taken to a hidden interrogation room and interrogated, he found that the other party had much more information about him than he thought.
The other party not only knew his every move, but also knew the identity of his son and the Americans behind him. The reason they wanted to interrogate him was just to get information from him about another part of the rebels hiding in Rio de Janeiro.
But he himself wanted to know this information very much! Naturally, he had no way to answer the other party. At first, the other party thought he was unwilling to tell the truth, so he tortured him and almost made him die.
Later, when he admitted that he knew there were indeed rebels in Rio de Janeiro, but he seemed to really not know who the hidden rebels were, he let him go. It was not until this moment that Chiz Whiteman felt that something was wrong. He did not seem to be that important in the eyes of the Americans.
Otherwise, why would they hide the rebels in Rio de Janeiro so well, but let him jump out to attract the government's attention! But by the time he understood all this, it was too late.
He and his son were thrown into prison, ready to face the military court trial. Fortunately, he had prepared for the worst when he started the operation, and sent his youngest son to Europe in advance, so that he would not be cut off from his descendants.
But what he didn't know was that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency was not a place of good people. How could a guy like him who had committed treason possibly let his plot succeed? The day after he was sentenced to death by the military court, his youngest son and his family died because the brakes of their car failed and they rushed off a cliff while traveling.
Of course, these are all later stories. At this time, the Presidential Palace's anti-rebel headquarters, which had been lit all night, felt extremely difficult after learning that even Chiz Whiteman did not know the identity of the hidden rebels.
Fortunately, we got accurate information from Chiz Whiteman and a group of captured rebels that there were indeed undiscovered rebels in the garrison of Rio de Janeiro.
"Mr. Commander, according to the rebels' original plan, their train will arrive at Rio de Janeiro Railway Station tomorrow morning.
But now we still haven't found the mouse hiding in the shadows. If we don't come up with a solution soon, this damn mouse might realize something is wrong, and then he might hide completely. It will be very difficult for us to find him later."
The Chief of General Staff, General Leta, who had not slept all night and looked haggard, spoke anxiously to General Crook, who was closing his eyes in deep thought in front of the map of the headquarters.
Hearing this, General Crook pinched his chin and slowly opened his bloodshot eyes. He sighed helplessly and said:
"I didn't expect this rat to be so well hidden that even Chiz Whiteman doesn't know his true identity."
"So, do you think we should follow General Fang's plan to lure the snake out of its hole?"
General Leta looked at General Crook hesitantly and asked.
This problem obviously troubles more than one person. Everyone knows very well that as long as this hidden rat is not caught, a sword of Damocles will be hanging over their heads at any time.
In fact, General Crook was also very hesitant at this time. He really wanted to catch this hidden rat, but he knew very well that once Fang Lang's plan was implemented, it might trigger a fierce battle in Rio de Janeiro, and the losses caused would be immeasurable.
Compared with this radical plan, a more moderate approach is to replace the several garrisons near Rio. Once they are far away from the capital, it will be safer to replace all the officers without any hesitation.
As a qualified commander, he certainly wanted to choose the plan with the least losses. Therefore, deep down in his heart, he was still inclined to follow the second plan and rotate the several troops guarding Rio.
“Although this plan can lure out the rat hiding in the gutter, it will probably turn Rio de Janeiro into a battlefield. I think we should just give up!”
Hearing this, General Leta also breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he could also think of what General Crook could think of, but this plan was proposed by Fang Lang, so he had to bring it up here.
Because he didn't want to be the one to veto Fang Lang's plan.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and President Scalia strode in and said:
"How can we just let it go like this? Last night, the US government held a press conference in the US, announcing that Brazil had blatantly violated the regulations of the Paris Coordinating Committee and provided advanced equipment to the embargoed countries. They demanded that we be punished.
I think their punishment on us is fake, and their real intention is to build momentum for the rebels! Since they are so eager to build momentum for the rebels, how can we not give them a chance? "
Upon hearing this, General Crook looked at President Scalia in surprise and said:
"We violated the Batumi embargo agreement? If I remember correctly, Brazil doesn't seem to have joined this organization!"
"Yes, you remembered correctly, we did not join."
"So what authority do they have to punish us? Are they the United Nations?"
Now everyone in the conference room was angry. The United States had repeatedly interfered in Brazil's internal affairs, which had already made the Brazilian people very dissatisfied.
Many of the original pro-American people changed their political stance as a result.
Now everyone knows that the Americans were behind the military coup, and they already hate the United States to the extreme. Unexpectedly, before the coup was resolved, the US government stood up again and wanted to interfere in Brazil's normal trade operations. In everyone's view, this is completely the United States trying to find ways to restrict Brazil's normal development.
For a moment, everyone was outraged and wanted to punch the Americans hard.
“From this, we can see that the Americans must have been planning this rebellion for a long time. Even if we mobilize the rebels hiding around us, it will be difficult to avoid the rebellion.
Because we cannot transfer all four divisions at the same time, which will cause a gap in our defense of Rio and may give the Americans an opportunity to take advantage.
If we mobilize them one by one, it will definitely attract the attention of the hidden rebels. Then, they may launch a surprise attack when we are relaxed.
Instead of being so nervous, I think it is better to follow General Fang's plan and lure the snake out of its hole. This time, we must find a way to catch the Americans by the tail!
I will list the damages caused to Rio de Janeiro by the rebellion at the United Nations General Assembly. I don't want compensation from him, but I want all Latin American countries to see the true face of the Americans.
Let's see how many countries are willing to continue to follow him as his younger brothers."
President Scalia's attitude shocked everyone present. They did not expect that this gentle politician would be so tough. He would rather bear huge losses and seize the Americans' sore spot and confront them head-on.
General Leta, the Chief of General Staff, took a deep breath and felt that it was necessary for him, as the Chief of Staff, to remind the President of the huge risks of this matter.
"Mr. President, calm down! As the Chief of the General Staff, I have the obligation to remind you that if we really follow this plan, we will also have a certain risk of failure. After all, we don't know how many rebels are hiding. The worst result may be that all four garrisons are rebels.
If this is the case, we will probably suffer huge losses. You have to think about this carefully.”
Scalia was obviously not completely unpredictable. He nodded slightly and said:
"I understand what you said. Don't worry, I am definitely not an impulsive person. I have made this decision after careful consideration.
If we really choose to downplay this matter, then this kind of rebellion will definitely not be the only one. Now this time we are lucky that the Intelligence Bureau discovered it in advance.
If there is such a rebellion next time and the intelligence agency fails to detect it, can we still respond in a timely manner like we did now?
During the last Korean War, the Chinese leader said, "Strike the first blow to prevent a hundred blows." I think this makes a lot of sense.
Instead of being on high alert and guarding against the rebellion that might be launched at any time, we should take this opportunity to let all those guys with bad intentions come out on their own initiative. Let us catch them all in one fell swoop."
Seeing that President Scalia seemed determined, General Letta could only look at General Crook who was in deep thought.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were gradually focused on him, General Crook understood that it was his attitude that would be the deciding factor. He hesitated for a moment, then stood up straight and said in a serious tone:
"Since the president has made up his mind, our Ministry of Defense will resolutely implement the president's opinion. General Leta, from now on, your general staff will formulate combat plans based on the most serious situation. We must not be caught off guard by the rebels."
General Leta immediately stood at attention and saluted and said loudly:
"Yes, General!"
When everyone saw General Crook's attitude, they were also shocked, knowing that something big was going to happen. But everyone was not very scared, instead they stood up excitedly and started to act with serious expressions.
Seeing that everyone was busy, General Crook picked up the phone next to him and made a call in front of President Scalia.
"General Fang Lang, this is Crook! I remember that the army now has a motorized infantry division that is receiving domestically produced Tiger tanks in Sao Paulo and is preparing to be reorganized into an armored division, right?"
The reason why he called Fang Lang was obviously because he knew that this division was actually Fang Lang's man. I don't know what was said on the phone, but I heard General Crook continue:
"If we assemble this force quickly now, how long will it take them to reach Rio de Janeiro?"
"Okay! Then I will have the counter-insurgency command issue a transfer order now. Please make sure that they can arrive at the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro before 8 o'clock tomorrow night and be ready to be deployed at any time."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
General Leta at the side quickly understood General Crook's concerns, looked at General Crook with some surprise and said:
"General, are you worried that the armored division stationed in Rio de Janeiro might be a rebel?"
He couldn't help but be surprised, because as far as he knew, this armored division actually belonged to General Crook's faction. Now the other side mobilized an armored division, obviously to deal with this armored division.
After hearing General Leta's words, General Crook did not evade, but nodded and said:
"I think you are right. The worst possible scenario is that all four armies are rebels. We must be prepared to deal with them in advance."
