Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 498

Chapter 498 Prediction

Since the Secretary of the Navy wants to pay him more military expenses, of course he will not refuse.

But soon he realized something was wrong. General Crook was so active, it seemed that something happened! No wonder the other party came to this jungle warfare training camp so suddenly.

Fang Lang knew very well in his heart that the thing that allowed General Crook to come over to find him in person at this time must be to wipe out Brother Eddie's rebels.

Fang Lang is very familiar with the current situation, and he does not resist Fang Lang's attack now. At least his special tactics research team has indeed initially possessed the ability of jungle special operations.

Combined with the intelligence personnel of the Second Division of the Logistics Department who infiltrated the Eddie brothers' rebels earlier, Fang Lang can now clearly grasp the opponent's movements and be targeted.

This is an advantage that the current army does not have.

Of course, these are Fang Lang's thoughts, and he will not take the initiative to raise it with General Crook.

"Thank you, General, for your concern for us. We will definitely train more seriously and show the best results to repay you! We will never disappoint your expectations."

General Crook heard the words, patted Fang Lang's shoulder with a smile, dragged a stool in Fang Lang's tent and sat down. He motioned Fang Lang to sit on another stool and said:

"Fang, I think you should know the purpose of my coming here today. I wonder if the time is ripe for you?"

Fang Lang smiled and took out two cigars from the desk in his tent, handed one of them to General Crook, and sat on the stool after the other party took it.

While putting the cigar under his nose and gently sniffing the scent of the cigar, he smiled and said to General Crook:

"Your Excellency General, do you mean that Mr. President gave the Ministry of Defense an ultimatum?"

General Crook took the cigar in Fang Lang's hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it lightly, unconsciously showing a slightly intoxicated smile on his face, and nodded slightly, confirming Fang Lang's question.

Fang Lang took out a cigar cutter from the cigar box, put it on the desk, pushed it in front of General Crook, and took out a "Zippo" lighter from his pocket and put it in front of General Crook.

"I don't know what your Excellency the General means, but we will take action after the army's operation fails.

Or do you want to go directly ahead of the Army? "

looked up at Fang Lang, General Crook said with a smile on his face:

"That's why I came to you. According to the thinking of most people in the Navy Staff Department, they want to wait until the Army's operation fails before we take action.

The problem now is that no one can be sure whether the Army's actions will succeed or fail.

If the army fails, how sure are we that we can succeed.

If the Army succeeds, all our efforts will be for naught.

Therefore, I also have some uncertainties in my heart, whether to apply directly to the Ministry of Defense now, and your Marine Corps will send troops directly. "

As soon as he heard General Crook's words, Fang Lang understood what he was thinking.

He said that the idea of most people in the Navy Staff Department is to wait for the Army to fail before asking the Ministry of Defense for a battle. In this way, once the Marine Corps successfully wipes out the rebels, it can not only prove the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps.

Can also obtain greater benefits.

But he obviously belongs to a small group of people, so he finally said that he was not sure whether the doctrine should directly challenge the Ministry of Defense. It did not say whether to wait for the results of the Army's actions.

Fang Lang smiled, and did not directly follow General Crook's words, but instead asked:

"Your Excellency, General, if Major General Walter Wesker is confident that he can directly send troops to wipe out Brother Eddie's rebels, will he wait until now to adopt this siege tactic for stability?"

General Crook, who was holding the cigar scissors to cut the cigar head, heard the words, his hands froze, looked up at Fang Lang and said:

"You mean, the Army will fail?"

Fang Lang's gaze met General Crook's for a while before he smiled and said:

"You also said that there are people behind Brother Eddie who support him. The current series of situations can only show that the people behind Brother Eddie have put a lot of political pressure on Mr. President.

The forced Mr. President had to force the Ministry of Defense to disrupt the original plan and adopt more radical tactics.

This just shows that the original tactics of the Ministry of National Defense are not wrong, and the enemy has been forced to resort to political means to disrupt the rhythm of the Ministry of National Defense.

In this case, what is the purpose of the enemy choosing to force the Wehrmacht to fight directly? "

General Crook heard this, nodded thoughtfully and said:

"You mean that the rebels are not afraid of going to war directly, but are afraid of the cage tactics of the Wehrmacht.

So, the current situation is that the people behind the rebels, through political means, force the National Defense Forces to abandon correct tactics and bring the rhythm of the battlefield to a direction that is beneficial to the rebels.

The rebels are so confident, can they defeat the National Defense Forces in the jungle? "

Fang Lang took the cigar cutter that General Crook had used up, looked up at General Crook's expression, and then slowly lowered his head to trim the cigar in his hand.

said lightly in his mouth:

"Why did the rebels defeat the Wehrmacht!

As long as the National Defense Forces give up the cage tactics, wouldn't the rebels have a chance to jump out of the encirclement? "

At this moment, General Crook suddenly realized and looked at Fang Lang with a shocked face, and said in disbelief:

"So, the people behind this are to create opportunities for the rebels to jump out of the encirclement."

Then said angrily:

"This **** bastard, for his own political interests, is really unscrupulous!"

Fang Lang felt the anger of General Crook, but he was helpless. He said that war is a continuation of politics, but as a soldier, he really hated this kind of political struggle.

But his own current status also determines that he must inevitably participate in political struggles that he himself hates very much.

Lighting the trimmed cigar in his hand, Fang Lang was not in a hurry to smoke this time, but took out an ashtray, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of General Crook.

General Crook is also a battle-hardened old fritter, and he is not so easily affected by political struggles. The current performance should be more concerned about things starting to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

General Crook, who quickly stabilized his mood, seemed to have thought of something, and said in frustration:

"In that case, is it necessary for our navy to participate?"

Hearing this, Fang Lang raised his head and looked at General Crook in front of him in surprise. In his impression, the other party was not someone who would give up easily!

Noticing Fang Lang's expression, General Crook shrugged helplessly and said:

"When it is obvious that someone is making trouble, we still jump in foolishly. Isn't this making ourselves uncomfortable?"

At this moment, Fang Lang still didn't understand what the other party meant.

This is not wanting to be treated as a victim of political struggle like the Army!

For a while, the room fell into a strange silence. Fang Lang was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but put the cigar to his mouth and took a deep breath, feeling the fragrance of the cigar escaping between his lips and teeth .

While starting his own thinking.

General Crook also behaved in the same way as Fang Lang, so soon the room began to be filled with smoke.

After a while, Fang Lang seemed to think of something and said:

"Does the Army intend to ask the Air Force for help?"

This question stunned General Crook for a moment, and he glanced at Fang Lang in confusion, and said:

"What do you mean? Didn't the Army use the Air Force's reconnaissance plane to help find the enemy's whereabouts?"

"I mean, after the Army was forced to do something this time, is there any plan to ask the Air Force for help?"

Fang Lang quickly expressed his meaning clearly.

General Crook thought for a while and said:

"As far as I know now, only two reconnaissance planes have been seconded by the Army."

Hearing this, Fang Lang said in a puzzled way:

"Since Major General Walter Wesker knows how to use the air force for reconnaissance, why doesn't he let the air force's bombers cooperate with their attack plan?

Although the Amazon dense forest may limit the power of some aerial bombs, it is enough to make the enemy dizzy and unable to move easily! "

At this time, General Crook understood Fang Lang's meaning, and said with some doubts:

"Does the Air Force have dedicated bombers now?"

This time it was Fang Lang's turn to be dumbfounded. As General Crook said, when the Air Force was established, it was all fighter jets supported by the United States. There were no bombers at all. Although a few were purchased later, the pilots were still training with their naval aviation Woolen cloth!

It seems that I have made an own mistake.

But he quickly realized that he has a bomber in his hand! If you do it yourself, can you directly arrange bombers to carry out a wave of carpet bombing?

No matter where you are hiding, as long as you let yourself touch the exact location of the opponent, there is nothing to say. A bombardment, protected by the jungle, cannot save your life.

The aerial bomb may also change direction because it touches a tree, or explode over the woods in advance, so the lethality will not be reduced much.

After thinking of this, he quickly asked:

"Your Excellency, how many aircraft can take off and land at the airport built by the Army near their camp?"

This question was obviously beyond the scope of information that General Crook could understand, so he spread his hands helplessly. Fang Lang understood that the other party did not know the specific situation here.

The more Fang Lang thought about it, the more he felt that his mind was broadening, and he got up and stood in the tent excitedly, walking back and forth.

Seeing this, General Crook also understood that Fang Lang already had his own ideas and was starting to improve them, so it was inconvenient to disturb them. Sitting aside, smoking a cigar silently, waiting for the result of Fang Lang's thinking.

Thinking about Fang Lang's concern about the plane, he mentioned the bomber again, obviously wanting to use the bomber to deal with these rebels.

As an old-fashioned naval officer, he has no clear understanding of air force tactics in the new era. However, he is obviously no stranger to plane bombing, and of course he has no opinion on using bombing to destroy the rebels.

He is even happy to see the results. As for the relatively high cost of bombing, he doesn't care.

After all, this kind of military operation does not burn their navy's military expenses, but it can train the navy's team. Why not do it?

Soon Fang Lang sorted out his thoughts, and said directly to General Crook:

"Your Excellency, I think we still have a chance, but we must grasp the rhythm and not give the other party too much reaction time."

General Crook heard the words, with a natural smile on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't wait to sit up straight, leaned forward slightly, approached Fang Lang and said:

"Oh! What good idea did you come up with? Tell me about it."

Fang Lang smiled slightly, and also moved his body closer to General Crook and said:

"Are you confident that the Department of Defense will approve your application?"

"Of course, if the Army fails to achieve the desired results in time, the Ministry of National Defense will definitely not reject our request to fight."

General Crook seemed very confident about Fang Lang's question. Obviously, he had already received some support within the Ministry of Defense. Even some necessary joints have already been opened.
