Bartlett Klo understood Fang Lang's meaning after just a brief thought. Obviously, the two had highly consistent interests when it came to targeting Mr. Vargas.
It’s not that Batlle Kro or Fang Lang have any grudge against Vargas.
Rather, as an important member of the Eddie brothers' anti-government armed forces, once the Labor Party knows that there is a connection between the Eddie brothers and Mr. Vargas, they will definitely find ways to eliminate this hidden danger.
As for the reason why Fang Lang remained hostile to Vargas, it was because he had offended Vargas to death from the very beginning, especially as the culprit of the Japanese mob's attack on the presidential palace.
It was destined that he would never be on the same page with Vargas, which was why he always remained wary of Mr. Vargas.
Although, I don’t know if Vargas is aware that he is behind this matter, he still has to be on guard.
"I understand, but... I have confessed everything I know to the soldiers of your army who interrogated me. What should I do?"
Bartlett Klo looked at Fang Lang nervously, then looked at Qi Qingshan behind Fang Lang and the guard at the door.
Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled and said:
...
...
"Don't worry! You can trust my people. They won't say anything nonsense. You just need to take care of yourself."
Hearing this, Bartlett Kro glanced at the people in the tent and found that they were all looking at him vigilantly with expressionless faces. He realized that he had no room for bargaining at all.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"I understand, General!"
Seeing that the other party was obviously uneasy, Fang Lang smiled and continued:
"Don't worry! The reason I came to you is to protect you. As someone who knows about this matter, I need you to be alive."
Bartlett Kro quickly realized that Fang Lang wanted him to stand up one day and point out Vargas' crimes. After figuring it out, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party was not lying to him.
He let out a long breath, looked up at Fang Lang and said:
"But my identity, after this trial..."
Seeing the other party's embarrassed expression, Fang Lang could understand what was in his mind.
He smiled and looked at the other party and said:
"Since I need you to be alive, I will naturally ensure your safety."
As Fang Lang spoke, he whispered a few words to Qi Qingshan beside him. Qi Qingshan looked up at Bartlett Klo in surprise, and without saying anything, he nodded to show that he understood.
Seeing this, Bartlett Kro was confused, but he gradually felt relieved. He could clearly understand the logic behind this.
"Thank you, General!
Please rest assured, General, you can summon me to testify in court at any time if you need me."
Fang Lang couldn't help but sigh that Bartlett Klo was indeed a smart man. He knew his own value very well, and at this time, his only chance of survival was Fang Lang's need for him.
It can even be said that, except for Fang Lang who needed him to come out to prove Vargas's involvement in the criminal activities, other people either didn't care about his life or death, or wished he would die sooner.
In this situation, if he wanted to survive, he had no choice but to obey Fang Lang's arrangements.
Standing up and patting the other person on the shoulder, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"You may not be required to testify in court, but when you need to tell the truth, my people will come to you."
Seeing Fang Lang getting ready to get up and leave, Bartlett Klo also hurriedly wanted to get up, but his movement was stopped by Qi Qingshan who was following behind Fang Lang.
Seeing Qi Qingshan's wary look, he could only sit back in disappointment.
Fang Lang left the tent and walked towards the headquarters without looking back. Qi Qingshan followed behind him and said:
"Boss, isn't it a bit of a waste to assign people from the Second Section of the Logistics Department?"
It turned out that Fang Lang had just instructed him to notify Section 2 of the Logistics Department and send intelligence personnel to lurk around Bartlett Klo, one to protect his safety, and the other to monitor him to see if he was lying to them.
The only people who could lurk around the other party must be a few intelligence personnel who have infiltrated the rebels. For the intelligence personnel, this is not a good job. After all, Bartlett Klo will definitely go to jail, and lurking around the other party is actually going to jail.
That's why Qi Qingshan felt that there was no need for it.
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and shook his head:
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a waste or not. The duration of this mission won’t be very long. By the time the conclusion is reached, no one will pay attention to the existence of this guy anymore.
What I need is for him to live peacefully until I have used him up. As for after that, it's up to him to decide what happens next."
Upon hearing this, Qi Qingshan nodded and said no more.
Just as Fang Lang was commanding the Marines to finish off the operation, the battle report from the front line was reported to the office of the Minister of Defense through the Minister of the Navy.
This sudden news shocked all the officers in the Ministry of Defense so much that their jaws dropped to the ground.
The former commander, Major General Votai Wesker, who had just returned to the Ministry of Defense in Rio de Janeiro to prepare for trial, was dragged directly to the Army Ministry by the bigwigs of the Army Ministry.
"Major General Wesker, the navy just received a report that the rebels have been wiped out.
As a general who just returned from the front, please tell me, is this news true?"
The newly promoted Army Minister, Lieutenant General Humberto Olde, looked seriously at the army's front-line commander, who had an obviously dejected expression.
Major General Wotai Wesker, who had anticipated this news, glanced at everyone in the office and said with an expression of "as expected":
"Is it over so soon?"
This statement caused dissatisfaction among many army generals present, and someone immediately spoke up:
"Major General Votai Wesker, please answer the Minister's question directly."
Turning his head to look at the army general who spoke, Major General Votai Wesker smiled indifferently and said:
“I don’t know whether this news is true or not.
What I know is that when I came back, more than 40 bombers at the front-line field airport had already taken off and started to carry out bombing missions against the enemy. "
Upon hearing this, there was an uproar in the office and everyone started whispering to each other.
A voice couldn't help but speak:
"Didn't the command just take over yesterday? Why did the navy take action today? Have you discovered any traces of the rebels?
The Navy took advantage of it.”
After these words were spoken, the office became even more restless and the voices of people talking became even louder.
This person made his meaning very clear. He just wanted to know whether the navy had taken the credit for the army's achievements.
After all, this concerns the reputation of the army, and they have no choice but to be concerned.
If there is an opportunity, it would be even better to turn this credit into the Army's.
The people around me are not fools either, so of course they can understand the twists and turns here.
Therefore, everyone finally focused their attention on Major General Walter Wesker. How could Major General Walter Wesker not know what everyone was thinking?
But he couldn't do such a thing. Losing the battle was shameful enough, and now they wanted him to step out and take the credit. This was not a matter of face, but a matter of character.
Besides, when it comes to things like this, it’s not like his words will be of any use. All operations are recorded.
If they really said that the army had discovered the enemy's whereabouts, they had to provide evidence! They couldn't provide any evidence.
Therefore, he looked at the person who had just spoken with a little contempt, shook his head firmly and said:
"We have not found any trace of the rebels. It was not until yesterday when I was conducting a handover with General Fang of the Navy that I learned that the Navy's reconnaissance plane had spotted the rebels on the south bank of the Yapura River.
So, they went out in full force early this morning.”
"That's not right! The Ministry of National Defense officially ordered the Navy to take over the clearing mission just the day before yesterday, but the Navy's reconnaissance planes had already started operations at the front line yesterday?
Their Natal naval base is not close to the front line, so the timing doesn't match?"
As soon as Major General Votai Wesker finished speaking, someone else spoke up.
When everyone heard this, they began to discuss it, feeling that there was something fishy going on. Some even said directly:
"Could it be that the navy has already grasped the movements of this rebel army and is deliberately going against our will?"
"Do you think it's possible that there are naval intelligence officers among the rebels?"
"The Navy is supporting the rebels! Maybe the Navy is deliberately trying to weaken the influence of our Army!"
Various conspiracy theories emerge in an endless stream, and some people even directly guess some of the truths.
Of course, Major General Wotai Wesker could hear the discussions around him clearly. For a moment, he was quite amazed and felt that the world was full of wonders.
It even made him feel ashamed to be associated with him.
Fortunately, I did not agree to stay and observe the navy's operations today, otherwise I might have become one of the commanders of this operation.
Although this might allow him to avoid punishment, if he really had to rely on taking credit to keep his position, he really couldn't do such a thing.
After a light cough, Major General Wotai Wesker explained:
"Early after the rebels escaped from the encirclement, General Fang of the Navy's Rio de Janeiro Aircraft Carrier Battle Group took the initiative to find me and was willing to send ten naval reconnaissance aircraft to help me find the enemy's traces.
Unfortunately, I never thought that the rebels would find a way to cross the Yapura River and escape from the north bank to the south bank, so I ordered them to search for the enemy's whereabouts on the north bank of the Yapura River.
It was not until I received an order to be relieved of my duties and the Navy took over the subsequent cleanup work that the Navy's reconnaissance aircraft began to actively search the south bank of the Yapura River.
Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, they discovered the enemy's whereabouts on the south bank."
When these words were spoken, everyone was speechless. Major General Wotai Wesker had already taken the initiative to admit that he did not expect the enemy to escape to the south bank, and had been ordering others to help search on the north bank.
The other navy also obeyed his orders very obediently, and only after his command was relieved did they start searching on the south bank. This obviously had nothing to do with their army!
Army Minister Lieutenant General Humberto Olde also turned pale after hearing what Major General Votai Wesker said. The latter's behavior was tantamount to actively admitting that it was his incompetence as a front-line commander that caused them to lose track of the rebels.
It's okay for him to directly admit his incompetence, but doesn't he understand that this will damage the reputation of the army?
We are now helping him in disguised form, but he doesn't even appreciate it.
After glaring at Major General Votai Wesker with hatred, Army Minister Lieutenant General Humberto Older slowly spoke:
“The order for the navy to take over the clearing mission was officially issued just the day before yesterday.
Why did the navy already have all its personnel in place yesterday? This is a team of more than 2,000 people, this efficiency is too high.
Have the navy's warships been waiting at the front line for a long time?"
After hearing this, there was another round of discussion in the office.
Major General Votai Wesker did not expect that the new Secretary of the Army would have the same attitude, and he was really a little discouraged.
He shook his head lightly and said:
"The navy did not send warships there, but used transport planes from their aircraft carrier fleet to directly transport troops there."
Now, everyone was at a loss for a moment.
