Ivy Gilmore said that he believed the other party, but in fact, he knew exactly what kind of person the other party was. He was definitely a selfish politician, so it was already the limit to believe one aspect of his words.
The reason why he still agreed to cooperate with the other party was not because he believed in the other party's credibility, but because of the infantry division under his command. With such a large armed force in Rio de Janeiro, no matter who sat in the highest position, he would not ignore his status.
If the other party is really unwilling to keep their promise, then since he can send them up, he can also drive them down. He has the confidence to do so as he holds the military power.
Seeing that Ivy Gilmore had once again made it clear that he would participate, Chiz Whiteman couldn't help but radiate an emotion called ecstasy from the inside out.
In fact, Ivy Gilmore was not the first person he had persuaded, but he was the most powerful military leader so far, although his division was a most basic infantry division.
But the fact that it was sent to the front line of confrontation between Brazil and Argentina shows that the strength of this division is not bad. The number of people alone has reached more than 8,000. Although it cannot be compared with the strength of about 18,000 German infantry divisions during World War II, it is definitely considered to be numerous and powerful in the Brazilian Army.
Just thinking about how much impact such a large number of soldiers would have once they entered Rio de Janeiro, Chiz Whiteman trembled all over.
His coordinated action had actually begun a week ago, but during such a long period of time, the number of people he organized was not as many as today.
This is also the reason why he is willing to give up the position of Secretary of the Army to Ivy Gilmore, because this guy is the most powerful!
...
...
Then, Cheez Whiteman couldn't wait to ask Ivy Gilmore to provide him with a list of people he thought had hope of joining, so that he could connect with others and gather more people.
Ivy Gilmore naturally would not hide anything. Most of these people had a good relationship with him. If Chiz Whiteman could really convince them, then he would have a lot of friends in the entire rebel army, which would be a huge benefit to him.
In this way, the two men conspired for a long time in Ivy Gilmore's office, and later discussed some details of the action. Only then did General Cheese Whiteman leave the border military camp with satisfaction.
What they didn't know was that Chiz Whiteman's blatant collusion had already attracted the attention of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency.
Since the last action of the Americans was not discovered by the intelligence agency immediately, Cirio Recchi has made great efforts to further rectify the intelligence agencies, which has greatly increased the vigilance of several intelligence agencies.
The military was the focus of the intelligence agency's surveillance. As early as the third day of General Chiz Whiteman's connection, the intelligence agency discovered something unusual and began to send personnel to conduct a full-scale surveillance and investigation of the Army Lieutenant General.
As time passed, more and more information was collected, and the outline of the matter slowly emerged.
Looking at Chiz Whiteman who was connecting things around in the army like a clown, Syrio Reich smiled disdainfully, took the complete intelligence and knocked on Fang Lang's office door.
"Are you saying that the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army Department wants to use the commissioning of new tanks by the Army Department to incite rebellion?"
Fang Lang's face became somewhat gloomy after listening to Sirio Reci's report.
“This is just the apparent reason. Another reason is that they feel that the Navy Department now controls the power of the Ministry of National Defense, which has damaged the dignity of their Army, so they are very dissatisfied.
From what we have learned, Lieutenant General Keez Whiteman did not hold a high position in the War Department and his abilities were not very strong either. He was able to squeeze into the War Department only by relying on his relationship with the previous Secretary of the Army.
As his former superior resigned, he was gradually marginalized and his presence in the Army Department was not strong. For some reason, he was so bold and proactive this time to start a rebellion by linking up with some officers in the Army.
"Why would a deputy chief of staff of the Army Department, who has been marginalized for so long, suddenly make up his mind to try to start a rebellion? I don't think it's just because of the issue of our new tanks being put into service!"
"We have the same suspicion about this issue. Our first suspicion is whether the Americans did something behind the scenes, but the only connection we can find between him and the Americans is that his eldest son once studied in the United States.
After returning to China three years ago, I opened an import and export company in Rio de Janeiro. The business of this company was not very popular before, but it seems to have developed very rapidly in recent months.
According to data provided by Global Terminals, they exported more goods this month than the previous three months combined.
After I learned about his eldest son's situation, I asked our people in the CIA to investigate whether his son had any contact with the CIA. However, we have not received any relevant intelligence yet."
Hearing this, Fang Lang looked at Sirio Reci with some confusion. He knew very well that since he had already grasped the matter in advance, he would not come to report so formally before investigating it thoroughly. The most he could do was to tell him that he had discovered someone preparing for a rebellion and take precautions.
But he has not yet investigated the situation behind it and has come to report. Obviously, something important has happened and he needs to come and consult his opinion.
"What? You want to arrest him directly?"
When Sirio Regis saw Fang Lang's eyes, he understood what he meant and quickly shook his head:
"That's not the case. I suspect this guy is not the mastermind and there must be someone else behind the scenes. Therefore, I did not report to you immediately, but am conducting a detailed investigation into the matter.
But now it is obviously impossible to continue the investigation, because the nearly two divisions of troops he linked are now on the train to Rio de Janeiro, and are expected to arrive in two days. I am afraid that if we wait any longer, it will be difficult for you to deal with it. "
Fang Lang was startled by what this guy said. He slapped the table with a sullen face, and sat up from his desk. He put his hands on the table, glared at Syrio Reggie fiercely, and said:
"What? The rebels were going to arrive in Rio de Janeiro in two days, and you just came to report. Why didn't you just wait until they surrounded the presidential palace before reporting?"
Sirio Regis was frightened by Fang Lang's reaction. He couldn't help shrinking his neck, fearing that Fang Lang would pull out a gun and shoot him. He lowered his head and said:
“Please rest assured, boss. All their actions are under our control. With just one order from you, we can make their rebellion a joke.
The reason why I came to report to you now is that I didn’t expect them to gather only such a small number of people and start the action. Secondly, I didn’t investigate it clearly, and I…”
At this time, Fang Lang didn't want to waste time talking to this guy, so he waved his hand to interrupt him and said with a gloomy face:
"You said they were already on the train to Rio de Janeiro? How did they pull the troops out of their base without a transfer order?"
"Boss, they have a transfer order. The aide of Defense Minister General Humberto Olde got them an official transfer order from the Ministry of Defense. In theory, they are coming to the capital to be reviewed by the Minister of Defense."
This General Humberto Olde was the former Minister of the Army. Although he lacked in ability, he was still quite lucky. His predecessor suffered a great loss in the campaign against the Eddie brothers' anti-government armed forces and was demoted to the lowest position.
When no one wanted to step forward to take over the mess of the Army Department, he was pushed out to take the blame. Who knew that before he could send out troops to continue to gnaw on the tough bone of Brother Eddie, the Marine Corps led by Fang Lang did it for him.
He was originally there to take the blame, but he managed to secure the position of Secretary of the Army and was not squeezed out. The last time General Crook took office, Marshal Moraes recommended him to President Scalia to be the Secretary of Defense in order to balance the conflict between the Army and the Navy.
He was indeed successfully elected, but in reality, the real power of the Ministry of Defense was not in his hands, but in the hands of General Crook, who was a former Navy Secretary.
"You mean the Minister of Defense was involved in this?"
Fang Lang quickly thought about whether General Humberto Olde was involved in this matter behind the scenes. After all, although he has been the Minister of Defense for many years, he has actually only been making his presence felt in front of the President.
In fact, he does not have much power in the military, so it is normal for him to feel dissatisfied about this.
“According to our investigation, the defense minister was not involved in the incident. Most of the rebellious army officers were dissatisfied with him and believed that he was weak and incompetent.
The one who actually participated in the rebellion and obtained the transfer order for the rebels was his adjutant. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang could not help but frown. You know, adjutants are often the people most trusted by generals. Now Cirio Recchi told him that among those who participated in the rebellion there was actually General Humberto Olde’s adjutant, and the adjutant wanted to overthrow his immediate superior.
This forced Fang Lang to remain skeptical.
"Are you sure?"
Seeing Fang Lang's expression, Syrio Regis understood his thoughts and could only explain with a wry smile:
"We didn't believe it at first, and we spent a lot of energy investigating the Minister of Defense. Finally, after our investigation, we did rule out the suspicion of the Minister of Defense.
Speaking of which, this is also a scandal in our army. Although Defense Minister Oldman does not have much desire for power, his desire for women is very strong. According to our investigation, this adjutant rebelled.
It was because the Minister of Defense had an affair with the young and beautiful wife of the adjutant. After the adjutant found out, the Minister of Defense promised to promote him to the Army to serve as a chief officer.
But two years have passed, and the adjutant is still the adjutant, while the Minister of Defense and his wife have become more unscrupulous, and even asked the adjutant to help them watch the door.
Because Deputy Chief of Staff Chiz Whiteman and the adjutant had a very good relationship when they were in the Army Department, he knew about this incident from somewhere and said he must avenge the adjutant. After the operation was successful, he sent him to the grassroots to serve as the commander of the motorized infantry division.
With General Cheese Whiteman's promise, the adjutant easily agreed to join the rebellion and obtained a transfer order for them in the name of the Secretary of Defense.
Fang Lang, who came from the future, had seen this kind of plot in many movies, TV shows and novels, but he never expected it to happen right next to him.
After learning what happened, Fang Lang couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"I never thought that our Minister of Defense would have the same hobby as Prime Minister Cao. However, you are right. If this matter is exposed, it will be a scandal for our entire army. When the time is right, you can come forward to help our Minister of Defense and solve this matter!
Remember, don't leave any mess behind!"
Although, it now seems that this transfer order has little to do with Defense Minister General Humberto Olde, but since the transfer order was issued in his name, regardless of whether these rebels are successful in the end, his position as Defense Minister has come to an end.
Fang Lang ordered Cilio Reci to handle the matter in order to minimize the impact of the incident and avoid damaging the reputation of the entire Brazilian army because of this incident.
When Syrio Reci heard Fang Lang's words, he was also stunned. He had never heard of the famous Prime Minister Cao, but now was not the time to delve into the identity of the person mentioned by his boss.
He was not surprised that his boss asked him to solve the matter. He knew very well in his heart that after this incident, his position as Minister of Defense would be over.
"Yes, Boss! Look, when is the best time for us to report this matter to the Ministry of National Defense? After all, it involves the adjutant of the Minister of Defense. If the news is leaked, it will be very troublesome."
Fang Lang understood what he meant. After thinking about it for a while, Fang Lang smiled and shook his head.
"Since their army is already on the way, there is indeed no time for you to continue investigating slowly. You should not come forward directly on this matter. Let Intelligence Director Blackwell report to General Crook!
On the surface, the mastermind behind all this seems to be Lieutenant General Chiz Whiteman, but I don't think things are that simple.
I don't believe that a person who has always been unknown would suddenly have the courage to organize such a large-scale operation. We need to continue to dig deeper into the background of this person and must not miss any clues. We must find a way to pull out all the enemies hiding in the dark."
Upon hearing this, Sirio Regis stood at attention and saluted:
“Yes, Boss! Actually, I don’t believe that this Chiz Whiteman is so courageous, so I didn’t come to report to you until I found out who was behind this.
I believe that the identity of his eldest son is definitely not as simple as it seems. I just didn't expect them to be so fast. They have already started to act before we can investigate clearly. "
Seeing that he still wanted to explain, Fang Lang looked at him and smiled, then waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"I understand your intention. You also want to rely on your intelligence department to solve this matter. I have no objection to this. However, next time, you must report such important intelligence to me as soon as possible. Let me know what is going on. Do you understand?"
He knew that the Intelligence Department wanted to wash away the shame of its last mistake and wanted to make a big splash. He did not mind his subordinates having such a sense of shame and being able to carry out their work proactively.
But the other party did not inform him of this information immediately, so he still had to strike back when necessary.
When Sirio Recchi saw that Fang Lang had no intention of punishing him, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted with gratitude, saying:
"Yes, boss!"
