Ivy Gilmore said this not because he really believed what Cheez Whiteman said, but because he knew in his heart that this was probably all the other party was willing to reveal. If everyone hadn't forced him to speak today, he might never have revealed the news to them.
As for whether the news was false, he had no doubt about it. After all, he had determined from the beginning that there were other people supporting Chiz Whiteman.
After hearing what Ivy Gilmore said, Chiz Whiteman was naturally very happy. At least no one continued to ask who the person was who would stand with them when necessary.
When the other officers saw that Ivy Gilmore had stopped pursuing the issue, they naturally stopped dwelling on it.
In this way, everyone's attention returned to the battle plan after arriving in Rio de Janeiro. Although Cheez Whiteman always said that they were just trying to force the government to make a statement and restore the dignity of the army, everyone understood that their current behavior was naked rebellion.
At that time, there will definitely be an exchange of fire with the garrison troops. This is why everyone has repeatedly asked Chiz Whiteman whether he has made any backup plans in Rio de Janeiro.
Now that they have received a positive answer, these officers have begun to have different ideas one by one. You know, Rio de Janeiro is the capital of Brazil, and its economic strength is definitely among the top two in Brazil. Now they have the opportunity to lead the army to visit somewhere.
Of course, it is not enough to just go through the motions. How can this put enough pressure on the government? Therefore, some people have begun to attack the big banks in Rio de Janeiro or the gold shops on the commercial streets.
Those who knew the situation in Rio de Janeiro better quarreled over whether to let their troops take charge of the street with the most money.
...
...
Chiz Whiteman didn't care about this. From the moment he decided to start the rebellion, he no longer considered himself an officer of the Brazilian army. In his opinion, in order to improve everyone's work enthusiasm, it was inevitable to appropriately sacrifice the interests of civilians.
As long as I wait until I win completely and take control of the situation in Brazil, and then push two people out to quell public anger, I will be considered a qualified leader.
What they didn't know was that while they were arguing over their own interests, the situation outside had begun to change dramatically.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the train was moving slowly in the darkness like a giant python in the abyss. The lights on the front of the train were like the python's eyes emitting captivating beams of light, piercing the pitch-black night and winding their way towards its prey.
The train had already passed the city of Irati in Paraná State and was heading towards Sao Paulo. Just after the train passed through a dark tunnel, a faint and loud wind noise came from the sky.
However, a large part of this wind noise is masked by the huge echo produced when the train passes through the tunnel, making it difficult to hear it clearly.
No one on the train paid much attention to it, let alone noticed that in the dark night sky, three large creatures that looked like enlarged dragonflies had appeared on the top of the train.
As the giant dragonfly got closer and closer to the roof of the train, several nimble figures gently landed directly on the roof of the high-speed train.
After all the people on a dragonfly got off, the dragonfly quickly pulled up and left the top of the train to make way for the next dragonfly. This big dragonfly was naturally the Bell 47 helicopter equipped by the Navy Special Tactics Research Group.
The space of this helicopter is not large, and each aircraft can only carry four fully armed soldiers. Therefore, three helicopters quietly sent a special forces team of twelve people onto the train.
This operation looks very dangerous, but it is actually not difficult, mainly because the trains of this era are not high-speed trains, and the travel speed is less than 50 kilometers per hour, so it is not difficult for a helicopter to get close to them.
The only thing they had to worry about was whether the people in the carriage would see them landing on the roof through the windows when the train turned.
In order to ensure the secrecy of the operation, this combat team of the Navy Special Tactics Research Group chose to quietly land on the top of the train from the exit of the tunnel in the dark night.
Because of the tunnel, the people on the train could not see the enemy coming from above. And because they were on a passenger train, in order to avoid being discovered by the government, the rebels did not set up guards like they did on military trains.
This meant that the entire special forces team encountered almost no resistance in their operations.
This time they took an old steam train, with a driver and an assistant driver in the cab, as well as a coal shoveler. To ensure the safety of the train, Cheez Whiteman also arranged two soldiers to protect the train in the cab.
But along the way, they had not encountered any dangerous soldiers, so they were not in the mood to remain highly alert. At this time, the two were leaning against the door behind the main driver, smoking and chatting.
Because the temperature in the cab was very high and the noise was very loud, the two had already become somewhat unbearable. Only by leaning against the door could they feel the cool breeze blowing towards them when the train was moving.
At this moment, the soldiers near the outside seemed to have noticed something unusual and couldn't help but stick their heads out of the door and look outside. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything unusual in the dark night.
"Did you hear any sound just now?"
Another soldier who was closer to the inside heard this, blew out a smoke ring, and then said helplessly:
"Now all I can hear is the exhaust of steam and the shovelers opening the coal gates. Oh! No, there's also the clanking of the trains.
I guess even if we get off the bus, it will take me at least a day to get these voices out of my mind."
After saying that, he did not forget to pick his ears.
Hearing this, another soldier who noticed something unusual turned around and looked outside the car again. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he had to turn around and say to him:
"I seemed to hear some other sounds just now, but now I can't hear them anymore. I guess I was hallucinating!"
After saying that, he put the cigarette in his hand into his mouth and couldn't help gossiping:
"You say, are we going to Rio de Janeiro this time to receive an award?"
As low-level soldiers, they were obviously not qualified to know the purpose of this operation. The only thing they knew was that they had received an order to assemble in Rio de Janeiro.
"I don't care whether I accept the award or not. I just want to go to Rio de Janeiro to have a good look around. I have never been to such a big city in my life!"
"I haven't been there either! I heard that there are tall buildings everywhere now, and the girls on the street are all dressed very fashionably. It would be great if I could have a girlfriend there!"
Just as the two were chatting, a pair of feet suddenly kicked in from outside the door and knocked the two people standing at the door to the ground. This sudden change scared everyone in the cab.
Before the two soldiers could react, a dark shadow jumped in from the door of the cab on the other side, and two cold gun barrels were already pressed against the foreheads of the two soldiers.
At the same time, a cold voice sounded in my ears:
"Don't move! Put your hands up where I can see them."
Only then did the driver, co-driver, and coal shovelers react. But before they could react further, two more shadows rushed in through the door of the cab.
"Everyone, don't move. We are the Brazilian Marines, under the orders of the Ministry of Defense, to take control of your train."
The people who were thinking of screaming or resisting were stunned after hearing this. One of the soldiers even said:
"We are the 113th Infantry Division of the Brazilian Army. We have been ordered to assemble in Rio de Janeiro. This is our military train. Do you know how serious a crime it is to hijack a military train?"
After hearing his words, several special forces soldiers were not surprised. Instead, they collected their weapons very calmly. At the same time, they slowly handcuffed the two soldiers and tied them to the steel seats in the cab.
"You don't need to introduce yourselves. We know who you are. We are here under the order of the Ministry of National Defense to control your military train."
After saying that, he casually took out a black rag from the main driver's seat and stuffed it into the mouth of the soldier who spoke. Then he spoke again as if he remembered something:
"By the way, you have been deceived. The Ministry of National Defense has not issued a transfer order to you at all."
Regardless of the soldier's stunned expression, he turned his gaze to the driver in the carriage and said:
"This matter is none of your business. You just need to continue driving the train to an abandoned train dispatching station 80 kilometers away."
After hearing this, the train driver had the opportunity to take a closer look at the group of people falling from the sky with the help of the slightly dim light in the cab.
They were wearing very rare jungle camouflage, and their faces were painted black and green with something unknown, which made them look very scary. But the submachine guns they held were of a very rare style.
If it weren't for the eye-catching Brazilian flag on the other side's armband, letting him know that the other side was the Brazilian army, he would have thought that it was an elite force from a Western country like the United States!
After confirming that the other party was indeed not an external enemy, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but speak nervously:
"I know the abandoned train dispatching station you mentioned, but we can't drive the train directly there. We need the brothers who dispatch on the road to move the railway gate to the corresponding direction. Only then can our train follow the railway and drive into the dispatching station."
Seeing that the driver was willing to cooperate, the officer was obviously relieved and smiled at the driver:
"I know. We have already arranged the dispatch. You just need to drive forward normally. After you park the car at the destination, our people will take you out of the cab safely."
Although the driver didn't understand what was going on, he gradually relaxed when he saw that the officer didn't seem to be difficult to talk to.
"Okay, we will cooperate. However, the space in our cab is quite small. If you stand in the middle, it will block us from adding coal to the train. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the officer looked at the situation in the cab and gestured to several soldiers, and they quietly made way for the middle aisle. The coal shovelers who had been squeezed into the coal bunker at the back came back up timidly.
A shovelful of new coal was pushed into the furnace.
The officer in charge saw that it was indeed not very convenient to squeeze so many people into the small cab, and he looked at the coal bunker behind the coal shovelers, which seemed to have more space, so he had the two army soldiers picked up and pushed them into the coal bunker, where they were guarded by two soldiers.
He stood beside the main driver and watched him drive the train with great interest. But after watching for a while, he could not see anything special, so he could only shrug helplessly, gestured to the two soldiers behind him, and climbed out of the speeding train door.
Seeing this, the train driver and co-driver wanted to reach out to stop him, but after thinking about the other party's identity and the weapons he was carrying, they could only choose to shut up.
In fact, everyone had a lot of questions in their minds at this time, but looking at each other's expressions, it was obvious that they would not be able to answer them. For their own safety, they had to choose to suppress their curiosity.
While this team raided the train cab and controlled the train driver, several soldiers at several gates along the way quietly controlled the corresponding dispatching rooms and quietly changed the direction of the train.
All of this was not noticed by the people on the train, and the train continued along the railway for about two hours, slowly arriving at a train platform that looked dilapidated.
It was already past midnight, and most of the soldiers on the train had fallen into a deep sleep after a long and bumpy ride. In addition, the dim light in the carriage reflected on the window glass, making it impossible for everyone to see the outside environment clearly.
Unless someone leaned on the window glass to look out, they could see the scenery outside clearly. No one was in the mood to lean on the window to look out. But as the train slowly slowed down, many soldiers who had not yet slept could not help but lean on the window to look out out of curiosity.
Originally, everyone was just curious about where we were and why the train stopped.
But gradually everyone discovered something was wrong. The platform outside the window was pitch black, as if there was no one there at all, which made everyone confused.
The officers in charge of the operation were also confused. Especially when Cheez Whiteman noticed that the train was slowing down and finally stopped, he realized something was wrong.
He quickly woke up all the officers from their sleep, ordered them to get off the carriage quickly, and organized his officers and soldiers to be on guard.
But before the officers could make any move, the dark outside of the car was suddenly illuminated by dozens of searchlights.
The light shines directly into the train carriages through the windows, illuminating the situation inside the carriages in great detail.
Just when everyone was still wondering what happened, there were several dull explosions from the glass of the carriage where the commanders were.
