Chapter 353 obtain authorization
Chapter 353 authorized
“It seems that this Raymond Eddie has a big problem!
Wait, didn’t today’s newspaper say that the woman is Japanese?
I understand. This island is originally under the jurisdiction of the Police Headquarters. It seems that all of this has something to do with Raymond Eddie!
Pack up and come with me to see General Morais. ”
General Crook’s brain turned quickly, and he understood the connection with just a simple thought.
Fang Lang was not surprised to find the Minister of Defense in the middle of the night.
After all, this is an urgent military situation, and there should be no delay.
General Morais lived not far from the Ministry of National Defense. When Fang Lang and General Crook came to General Morais’ house, the Minister of Defense had already fallen asleep.
I heard the adjutant say that the Secretary of the Navy, General Crook, and General Fang Lang of the Rio de Janeiro Aircraft Carrier Battle Group are visiting together and have urgent military information to report.
General Morais’s little drowsiness was immediately dispelled, and he put on a pajamas and walked out.
When I came to the living room, I saw Crook and Fang Lang with serious faces, knowing that something big must have happened, and said directly to the two:
“Our study said.”
After all, they were at home, and it was definitely not suitable to talk about emergency military situations in the living room, so General Morais took the two of them to the study.
General Crook signaled for Fang Lang to explain the situation.
After Morais listened to Fang Lang’s narration and saw the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, General Morais hit the desk with a punch.
“Kill, this guy named Raymond Eddie deserves to be killed.
This is secession, this is treason.
Do you know where this person is? He must not be allowed to escape. ”
Fang Lang’s eyes flashed coldly, and he shook his head calmly.
General Crook on the side heard this, and hurriedly said:
“Excuse me, General,
We rushed over to report to you as soon as we received the information.
This Raymond Eddie is the head of the Public Security Department of the Police Headquarters. Would it be inappropriate for our military to take action against him? ”
Hearing what General Crook said, General Morais waved his hands indifferently and said:
“Don’t say that he is just the Chief of the Public Security Department of the Police Headquarters. Even if he is the Chief of Police or the Minister of Justice, we must follow suit.”
After finishing speaking, regardless of the fact that it was already midnight, he picked up the phone on the desk and made a call.
“Adnan Church, I’m Moraes,
There is now evidence that Raymond Eddy, Director of the Public Security Department of the Police Headquarters, participated in and implemented acts of secession.
I order you to arrest him immediately. ”
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Fang Lang and asked:
“Fernando de Noronha is near your Natal naval base, what are you going to do with it?”
Fang Lang knew that it was his turn to express his opinion at this time, so he stood at attention without hesitation and saluted:
“Your Excellency, as soon as I received the information, I ordered the fleet to enter a state of first-level combat readiness.
Only need to obtain the authorization of the Ministry of Defense and Mr. President, and start to act immediately,
Resolutely crack down on hostile forces that violate my country’s territorial integrity, and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. ”
General Morais was very satisfied with Fang Lang’s statement,
Actually, he knew very well in his heart that the Marine Corps must be needed to carry out this kind of battle to seize the island.
And Fang Lang has a well-equipped Marine Corps under his command.
And the closest distance to the enemy, this is his defense zone.
So, he must be the one to carry out this mission.
Nodding his head, he said to the two of them:
“Then you and I go to meet the president,
After obtaining the authorization of the President, start to act immediately. ”
“Yes, Your Excellency General.”
The two stood at attention and saluted.
Then the three of them rushed to the presidential palace non-stop.
When President Dutra heard the news, he asked in disbelief:
“Japanese? Haven’t we already deported Japanese across the country?
How did these **** end up in Fernando de Noronha? ”
“Mr. President, judging from the current intelligence, it should be this guy named Raymond Eddie who took advantage of his position.
Sent these Japanese to the islands of Fernando de Noronha. ”
General Morais said in a serious tone, word by word.
President Dutra frowned when he heard the name, and obviously knew this person.
“I know who this guy is, the news papers are reporting him every day these days.
A few days ago, the newspaper said that your navy discovered an arms smuggling case,
I also asked the Attorney General about this person.
His father was the Deputy Minister of Justice of the previous term, and he was a powerful figure in the police system during President Vargas’ period.
Now the Brazilian police system is full of his protégés.
If I remember correctly, his father died in the action of Japanese mobs attacking the presidential palace.
But he would actually cover up the Japanese and support the Japanese in this act of splitting the country.
It seems that the relationship between their family and the Japanese is not simple!
You said, would the Japanese mob attack on the presidential palace be related to their family? ”
Generals Morais and Crook looked at each other when they heard this. Obviously, they didn’t know much about the police system.
But Fang Lang’s eyes lit up, he knew very well what happened when the Japanese mob attacked the presidential palace.
For the president, it was precisely because of the actions of the Japanese mob that the military coup he had prepared was covered with a cloak of sweeping away the Japanese mob.
But his subsequent house arrest of the former president still caused him a lot of controversy.
Even, many Vargas supporters claim that the so-called Japanese mob is simply a farce directed and performed by President Dutra in order to overthrow the rule of President Vargas.
President Dutra’s current words are obviously instructive.
It is obvious that they want to use the connection between the Eddie family and the Japanese to place the blame for the Japanese mob attacking the presidential palace on the Eddie family.
This is an opportunity to completely defeat the Eddie family.
Seeing that the two generals were silent, he couldn’t help asking:
“Mr. President is suspicious that Raymond Eddy’s father, the Deputy Attorney General,
Is the Japanese mob behind the attack on the presidential palace? ”
Sure enough, after hearing Fang Lang’s question, President Dutra’s eyes lit up, and he gave Fang Lang an appreciative look.
His gaze swept across the faces of General Morais and General Crook inadvertently.
Seeing that the two of them were still in a daze, they couldn’t help cursing, “Two old foxes.”
smiled and continued:
“I just suddenly thought of whether there is such a possibility.
After all, it can be seen from this incident that the relationship between their family and the Japanese is not shallow!
Both the father and son had an improper relationship with this woman named Mizuno Xiaoling.
If they didn’t have a great relationship with Japanese people, how could they be with this Japanese woman.
Why did this guy send so many deported Japanese to Fernando de Noronha Islands? ”
Everyone coughed twice when they heard the improper relationship.
But Fang Lang gave President Dutra a big praise in his heart, and immediately nodded and said:
“What Mr. President said is too reasonable. It seems that this family is not a good person.
Shall we check other people in their family, will they also be involved in this matter? ”
How could Fang Lang let go of this opportunity to push the entire Eddie family into the vortex by pushing the boat along the way.
So, without hesitation, the entire Eddie family was brought into the scope of the investigation.
General Morais and General Crook on the side, watching the two sing together, sent the entire Eddie family into this vortex.
He curled his lips inwardly, with a look of disdain, but nodded in approval on his face.
To them, this Raymond Eddie absolutely be damned.
It doesn’t matter what role his family played in this incident.
The two generals have nothing to do with this family. Mr. President wants this family to blame the Japanese mob for attacking the presidential palace.
They certainly don’t obstruct.
After all, everyone is in the government, so why fight against the president for an insignificant family?
President Dutra was even more overjoyed when he heard Fang Lang’s words, and he unconsciously showed a smile on his face and said:
“Well! We can’t wrong a good person, but we absolutely can’t let a bad person go.
Since all members of the Eddie family are suspected.
Then we have to investigate seriously.
If other people are indeed innocent, we can be regarded as proving their innocence!
Since this is an extremely serious case involving secession, it should not be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation.
My opinion is that the Ministry of Defense directly set up an investigation team to investigate all members of this family.
Strive to give an explanation to the people of the whole country as soon as possible. ”
When the three of them heard the president’s instructions, they all understood and stood up to salute.
“Yes, Mr. President.”
Regardless of whether other members of the Eddie family were involved in this matter, as long as their family was investigated for the crime of secession, it would definitely mean that the political life of this family was completely over.
As for whether they are innocent or actually involved, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Mr. President’s words have made it clear that he is asking the investigation team to give an explanation to the people of the whole country, not to give the Eddie family a clean slate.
It means that whether the family is innocent or not is not important. The key is to let the Brazilian people know that the family is being investigated by the government because of this matter.
President Dutra saw that the three had clearly taken orders, and nodded with satisfaction and continued:
“For the bad incidents of the Japanese violating our country’s territorial integrity, we must respond quickly,
I hope that your Ministry of National Defense can immediately send troops to cleanly and completely wipe out the enemies who have entered our territory. ”
After hearing what President Dutra said, General Morais said with a serious tone and firm eyes:
“Mr. President, please rest assured that our Brazilian National Defense Forces have the ability and confidence to destroy all invading enemies.
General Fang Lang’s aircraft carrier battle group is ready to attack at any time,
Just wait for the authorization of Mr. President, and we will start to act immediately.
Use the most powerful military force to make our enemies feel the despair of being against us. ”
President Dutra followed General Morais’s words, looked at Fang Lang, nodded solemnly and said:
“Very well, tomorrow morning, I will address Congress.
Officially authorizes the Ministry of Defense to conduct operations against the enemy in the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
General Fang’s aircraft carrier battle group is the most powerful sea force in Brazil,
I believe you will not let me down. ”
Looking into Mr. President’s eyes, Fang Lang looked at each other firmly, and said solemnly:
“Please rest assured Mr. President,
Guaranteed to complete the mission! ”
The matter was urgent, and everyone didn’t wait too long. They left the presidential palace quickly and started preparations according to their respective divisions of labor.
The next day, early in the morning.
It was still Brazil Times that announced this news for the first time.
Suddenly, the whole of Brazil was in an uproar.
Especially the huge corpse pit in the photo on the front page headline, and the plaster flag fluttering in the wind.
Instantly ignited the anger of all Brazilian people.
When the newspaper mentioned that the weapons used by the Japanese on the island came from the support of the Eddie family.
The entire Eddie family was completely pushed to the forefront and fell into a situation where everyone shouted and beat them.
Even Brisso Eddie’s home was also implicated. The gate of the house was surrounded by demonstrators, who kept throwing all kinds of stones and discarded wine bottles into their house.
There is no way to keep a complete piece of doors and windows.
It’s a pity that the family members were captured by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency early in the morning.
Otherwise, the members of the Eddie family must be doomed, and they may be torn apart by the angry people.
In the morning, Mr. President and the Minister of Defense delivered speeches in Congress, officially ordering the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group to go to the Fernando de Noronha Islands to regain lost ground.
And proposed at the meeting to officially list Japan as a permanent hostile country.
This proposal was unanimously passed at the meeting.
Brazilian TV station seized the opportunity immediately and carried out the first full live broadcast, allowing Brazilian news to spread in advance and entering the audio-visual era.
It was the first time that the people saw the President delivering a speech in Congress. For a while, the alleys were empty, and all public places where TVs were placed by TV stations were besieged.
Many wealthy people said on the spot without hesitation that they would buy TV sets to watch at home, and the TV promotion activities officially started.
It can be said that the opening is both a king bomb.
In an instant, a new thing like TV entered people’s field of vision.
Fang Lang had already flown back to his naval base in a special plane as early as dawn.
By the time the plane landed at the base, the base had already entered a battle state.
The warships on the pier have all been activated, and truckloads of military supplies are being transported to the warships non-stop.
Heavily armed soldiers are lined up, and from time to time there will be teams that have completed the team and march towards the pier with neat steps.
Because there were no landing ships, the two tank landing ships managed by Colonel Valdo Grama came in handy instead.
According to the combat plan, all landing troops will directly board the tank landing ship and rush to the island.
At this time, Fang Lang realized that maybe his troops really lacked an amphibious armored force.
I have always felt that as a Brazilian army, I may never have the opportunity to land on the island.
I didn’t expect reality to hit my face so quickly, it seems that the steps really can’t be too big!
No, did you get caught by accident?
Fortunately, there are two tank landing craft presented by the Yankees, which can directly send people to the coast, otherwise fishing boats may be requisitioned.
