Ministry of Defense, Rio de Janeiro.
A group of senior Brazilian government officials are in the Operations Department of the Ministry of Defense, paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield.
When they received the news from Fang Lang about the successful recovery of the Fernando de Noronha Islands, everyone applauded in unison.
Although, everyone had expected this and was not surprised.
However, for politicians, eliminating an incident of territorial aggression in such a short period of time is still something worth writing about.
"Mr. President, the military has done its job.
After 6 hours of fighting, we successfully recovered the territory occupied by the Japanese. "
General Moraes reported to President Dutra with a serious expression, standing at attention and saluting.
President Dutra nodded with satisfaction and said:
...
...
“I am still very confident about the military’s combat effectiveness.
This time, the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group was able to promptly detect the enemy's violation of our territory.
And took positive response measures immediately.
The fact that the invading enemy was completely annihilated in a short period of time shows that our Brazilian army is an excellent and combat-ready army.
Very good, I am very satisfied!
I am also very satisfied with General Fang Lang's performance.
I hope that your Ministry of Defense will come up with a generous reward plan.
We commend the combat effectiveness and achievements of the newly formed Rio de Janeiro Aircraft Carrier Strike Group.
On behalf of the government, I will award General Fang Lang the National Medal of Honor to recognize his great contributions to the country."
Many officials in the Ministry of National Defense expressed envy.
The Brazilian National Medal of Honor is the highest medal of honor in Brazil and is generally only awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to the country.
I didn’t expect that Fang Lang, a Chinese, could receive such an honor.
"Please rest assured, Mr. President.
Our military also highly recognizes General Fang Lang's abilities.
General Fang has made an indelible contribution to the Brazilian Navy’s current aircraft carrier fleet.
This time, General Fang led the army for an outstanding performance, and our military will certainly commend him vigorously.”
Hearing the Defense Minister's statement, President Dutra nodded with satisfaction.
Continued:
“In this incident, it was the Eddy family who sent the enemy to their destination and provided them with weapons and equipment.
It must be dealt with seriously.
For individuals or organizations that sell out national interests and betray the country,
We need to come up with a specific plan.
Give an explanation to all Brazilian citizens."
Among the senior government officials who followed the President to the Department of Defense were the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Attorney General.
At this moment, their faces looked the ugliest.
Because the Eddy family's influence in the Ministry of Justice is deeply rooted, and everyone has some friendship with each other.
But now, what the other party did has put everyone who has a relationship with them in a passive position.
The entire Department of Justice is now facing strange scrutiny from other parts of the government.
Including now in the Ministry of Defense, their position is very embarrassing.
The President's words put the final nail in the coffin for the Eddie family. Everyone knew that this family would no longer have any political future.
Anyone or any family that has any connection with them may be implicated.
In this situation, anyone with a brain would choose to draw a line with the other party as soon as possible.
Therefore, without waiting for others to speak, the Minister of Justice took the lead and said:
“Mr. President, I am deeply saddened that such scum has appeared in our country.
I suggest that this family be court-martialed.
Directly sentence the other party to treason.
The Eddie family has complicated relationships in the police system. It was found that the police chief of Recife was involved in matchmaking in this arms deal.
We should severely punish such public officials who participate in illegal and criminal activities.
The Ministry of Justice has decided to carry out a major overhaul of the national police system.
Ensuring the purity of the police system.”
The meaning is very clear, which is to eliminate the influence of the Eddie family in the entire police system.
To eliminate the political influence of the Eddie family.
Everyone present had different expressions, and they were all thinking about the pros and cons of this matter and whether they could gain any benefits from it.
When President Dutra heard the statement made by the Minister of Justice, he frowned.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to overhaul the police system, but if he really follows the Attorney General’s method and carries out a major overhaul.
If things go wrong, it will cause chaos in the entire police system.
This is extremely detrimental to the stability of the country's social order.
But it is imperative to eradicate the influence of the Eddie family in the police system.
He was still a little undecided for a moment, and his eyes accidentally swept over the battle map hanging on the wall.
At this moment, many red arrows point from Natal to Fernando de Noronha.
The name of Natal made him think of something. He still remembered the last time he went to Natal to attend the commissioning ceremony of the aircraft carrier.
When discussing the changes in Natal with Mayor Ewald Dursley of Natal, he said that during the military rule of Natal, General Fang Lang
It was discovered that the local police in Natal was controlled by the local Yakubu family, who colluded with black and white and acted lawless.
Later, Fang Lang not only eradicated the evil Yakubu family.
The local police system was also reformed and a police school was opened.
The social order in Natal as a whole underwent a radical change.
Thinking of this, he coughed twice and said:
“I fully appreciate your Ministry of Justice’s initiative to overhaul the police system.
However, your proposal to directly launch a major rectification campaign,
I have reservations.
As far as I know, the backbone of the current Brazilian police system are all students and former subordinates of Krejci Edi.
If we just carry out the cleanup without any consequences, our entire police system in Brazil may be paralyzed.
This will have a very adverse impact on social security.
I have a small suggestion here. I suggest you ask General Fang Lang for advice.
Maybe he has a solution to your problem."
Many people may not have seen General Fang Lang.
But there should be no one here who doesn’t know who he is, because everyone gathered here today to watch General Fang Lang command his aircraft carrier fleet to eliminate the invaders.
It is because everyone knows who General Fang Lang is.
After hearing what President Dutra said, everyone was a little confused.
Seeing that everyone had question marks on their faces and looked at him in confusion, President Dutra smiled and said:
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't say the wrong person.
You didn't hear it wrong.
The one I’m talking about is the Rear Admiral Fang Lang who just commanded this annihilation battle.
The reason why I asked your Ministry of Justice to consult General Fang Lang is because General Fang Lang was in the period of military control over Natal.
I discovered a big problem with the local police department.
But this problem was quickly and completely solved by General Fang.
Since then, Natal's social security has undergone tremendous changes.
The mayor of Natal, Mr Ewald Dursley, praised the move.
It is believed that General Fang brought new life to Natal.
So, don’t think that General Fang is just a simple military general.
His ability in local governance is equally impressive and is very worthy of learning for all of us.”
Even the senior military officers of the Ministry of Defense were in disbelief. They could never have imagined that a rear admiral would receive such high praise from the President.
The Minister of Justice was secretly wondering in his heart whether the President really just wanted him to consult General Fang or had some other hints.
After all, no matter who you ask, it is not reliable to ask a naval general how to rectify the police system.
That only means that the President has something else to say.
While the Attorney General was still racking his brains to find out the President's intention, Navy Secretary General Crook said leisurely:
“If the Minister of Justice wants to consult General Fang, it would be best if he could solve the assassination case of General Fang first.
I heard that the only surviving murderer was killed during the transfer from the Ministry of Justice!
It's been so long since the incident happened, but there is still no clear result from the investigation.
The efficiency of the Ministry of Justice is really worrying.”
This kind of behavior of exposing someone's scars in public is really not what a gentleman does.
But General Crook had always admired Fang Lang, and his own fishing boat had now become a shareholder in the fishery company founded by Fang Lang, which had developed rapidly and made a lot of money, so the two became close friends.
Fang Lang's outstanding performance this time really made the navy proud.
As the superior leadership department of the police system controlled by the Eddie family who committed treason,
General Crook was very unhappy with the Attorney General's attempt to distance himself from the matter by claiming to overhaul the police system.
He was kicked out of the investigation team sent by the Ministry of Justice to investigate the assassination of Fang Lang.
In the process of transferring the murderer, the only surviving murderer was silenced.
On the other hand, they also suspected that personnel from the Navy and other investigation teams had leaked information and conducted an internal screening of them.
But the result? No problem was found.
The investigation into the assassination came to a standstill, and there is still no clear explanation.
This made General Crook very dissatisfied with the Department of Justice.
So, just start mocking him in public.
After hearing this, the Minister of Justice turned pale, but he had no way to refute it.
The other party is the Secretary of the Navy. Although in name, I, the Minister of Justice, am at the same level as the Minister of Defense, the other party is subordinate to the Ministry of Defense and is one level lower than me.
But everyone knows that the military is a very independent violent organization, completely different from a government agency.
If the other party doesn't give you face, you can't do anything about it.
Just when he was getting a little angry and embarrassed, suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, as if he had grasped something?
Could the President's suggestion that he consult General Fang Lang be related to this assassination case?
After all, there was a senior police officer among the assassins.
General Crook's words caused a buzz of discussion in the entire operations hall, with a group of government officials whispering to each other.
The face of the entire judicial system has been rubbed back and forth.
In this case, no matter what the Attorney General is thinking, he does not need to respond immediately.
Silence will only make things worse.
Therefore, the Minister of Justice forced a smile and said:
“Thanks to General Crook’s friendly reminder, the investigation into this case has actually made some progress.
Former São Paulo Police Chief Sebastiao Hodges has voluntarily pleaded guilty and admitted that he was the one who planned the assassination.
A detailed case report will be issued within this month.
General Crook, please be patient."
After that, he nodded to President Dutra and said:
"Mr. President, our Ministry of Justice will immediately arrange a professional inspection team after we return.
Go to Natal region to inspect and study the local police system.
I will also personally visit General Fang Lang and ask for his experience in rectifying the police system.
We will strive to complete the cleanup of the police system while ensuring the overall stability of the police system."
Regardless of whether what the Attorney General said was true or false, it is impossible for everyone to continue to dwell on this matter.
After hearing the Attorney General's answer, General Crook just shrugged indifferently.
It can be considered as a response.
After being reminded by Crook, the President also remembered the assassination case. He was a little surprised when the Attorney General said that the murderer was Hodges.
As far as he knew, this Hodges was Fang Lang's friend. Everyone thought that he was a scapegoat at first, but now he has pleaded guilty. He still felt a little confused.
But seeing the government officials around him, it was obviously not an appropriate time to continue discussing this issue.
Therefore, we can only keep it aside and let the Minister of Justice report separately after returning to the Presidential Palace.
He was satisfied with the Ministry of Justice's plan to arrange an inspection team to visit Natal.
Nodded and said:
“Very good, since I hope you can examine it seriously, please ask for my advice sincerely.
Let us see the results as soon as possible.”
Then the President turned to General Morais and asked:
"General Morais, regarding the Attorney General's proposal to bring the Eddy family to court-martial,
What do you think?
Also, has that damn Raymond Eddy confessed whether his actions were directed by someone else? "
General Morais glanced at the Minister of Justice and said slowly:
"Mr. President, we at the Department of Defense have no objection.
This crime of splitting the country is indeed no longer suitable for ordinary police investigation and court trial.
Our Department of Defense has arrested Raymond Eddy and the entire Eddy family in accordance with the orders of the President.
After two days of investigation and interrogation, we have made some very good progress.
Raymond Eddy confessed to his crimes, and we got two unexpected results from him."
There was a gleam of light in President Dutra's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but then quickly disappeared.
He asked with great interest:
"Oh? Two more unexpected gains?"
"Yes, Mr. President,
During the interrogation, Raymond Eddy confessed to the crime of splitting the country.
He also took the initiative to confess that his father, Craig Eddy, participated in organizing and implementing the Japanese mob's attack on the presidential palace at the instigation of the Japanese spy Mizuno Korei.
General Morais said with a serious expression and a heavy tone.
Before he could finish his words, the entire operations hall suddenly began to boil like a frying pan.
The senior officials of the Brazilian government never expected that such explosive news would be dropped directly, and everyone was obviously not prepared.
President Dutra was delighted, but he looked shocked and exclaimed:
“What? The Eddy Family is also involved in this incident, damn these bastards.
I thought Craig Eddie was a hero who sacrificed his life for his country, but I never thought he was the mastermind behind it.
Damn it, I should have their whole family hanged.
This damn bastard actually betrayed his country for a damn Japanese woman.
Wait...you said that Japanese woman named Mizuno Korei is a spy?"
