Chapter 359 After the war
After receiving Fang Lang’s instructions, Chief of Staff de la Torre naturally nodded.
“Yes, boss,
I think the Ministry of National Defense will definitely support our proposal this time. Even if we don’t mention it, the Ministry of National Defense will definitely ask us to arrange troops on the island.
After all, no one wants to make such a mess again. ”
This is true. This incident will definitely alert the Brazilian government. A large island is isolated overseas, and they don’t even send troops.
Next time something like this happens, it will be difficult to explain to the public.
“Hehe. This is the best.
I think the scenery on this island is very good! The sea water is so clear that some holiday cottages can be built on the island in the future.
Give our fleet members a chance to come and relax! ”
Fang Lang knew that this was one of the very famous tourist attractions in Brazil in later generations, so he spoke directly and won a resort for the military members of his fleet.
Everyone talked and laughed all the way, and soon came to the original Japanese camp, looking at the camp that had been bombed into ruins.
Fang Lang said with emotion:
“Fortunately, we have air superiority, and directly use bombers to bombard these bastards.
Destroyed the enemy directly, otherwise if we rely on the marines to land on the beach, we will definitely have to pay a lot of casualties.
This time we have an absolute advantage, but there are still casualties, which should not be.
After returning, let the soldiers sum up the experience of this battle.
Look for the problems exposed this time to avoid repeating them in the future.
At least I feel that everyone is too eager, and the cooperation between the open space and the ground is not coordinated.
It is clear that the second batch of aviation is planned to be used to support the Marine Corps’ attack at any time.
As a result, these guys rushed up first by themselves, bombarding the enemy wildly.
The cooperation between the Marine Corps and the Air Force when attacking is completely out of touch.
In the future, it is necessary to focus on training air-ground coordination projects, so that marines can get used to seeking support from aviation when encountering difficult bones. ”
Della Torre on the side also said with emotion:
“I was born in the navy, so I didn’t know the tactics of the army, let alone the tactics of the air force.
However, after communicating with American instructors during this period, I also had a preliminary concept.
But listening to them, there are still many things that I don’t understand.
Today’s battle was an eye-opener for me.
It seems that the future battlefield may be dominated by the Air Force!
At the beginning, you insisted repeatedly that you must have your own aircraft carrier. I didn’t really understand it, but now I understand your strategic vision. ”
Fang Lang heard the words, patted him on the shoulder, nodded in approval and said:
“I also made up my mind after seeing the powerful combat effectiveness of the aircraft on the Pacific battlefield.
You are from the navy, and I am from the army. The army we have now is a powerful military force that integrates the three services of sea, land and air.
We all have to study hard, learn to reflect and summarize.
Cannot be divorced from advanced military concepts.
Now we are learning from one of the most powerful military forces in the world, but it is not enough.
Although American products are advanced, they are really expensive.
We have no way to burn money like them, so after we have mastered their ideas and gameplay, we have to start exploring some of our own.
So, after we go back, we must set off an atmosphere of active learning in the entire fleet. Whether it is military management or soldiers, they must start learning after training.
Only by learning can we become a smart army, and only by being smart can we win more battles. ”
Della Torre nodded in agreement, and said seriously to Fang Lang:
“Boss, don’t worry! We will definitely implement your ideas carefully.
Guaranteed to make our fleet the most effective force in Brazil. ”
Since he is leading troops to fight, of course Fang Lang wants to lead a force with strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, Fang Lang has very strict requirements on the training of the troops.
Hiring the American instructor corps, the basic training of the Marine Corps took up to six months, which shows his expectations for the combat effectiveness of the army.
It’s a pity that he is a hands-off shopkeeper, and he is used to making his own requests and handing over specific matters to the people below to implement them.
And de la Torre is his most important assistant. Hearing the other party’s statement, he nodded in satisfaction.
Looked at the Brazilian flag flying on the flagpole of the camp, then looked at the surrounding environment, and asked:
“This is Gou Ri’s, the flagpole where Little Japan hangs the national flag?
I didn’t expect the flagpole to persist even after the surrounding area was blown up like this.
This is deliberately left to hang the national flag for us! ”
Turned his head to look at Duarte who was aside and said:
“Did you have a video when you lowered the Japanese flag and raised our national flag?
This is a historic moment. ”
Duarte’s face was always not very good-looking, and he managed to grab the attack mission, but when the first battalion of the marines landed, the battle was over.
They can only come up to perform the task of cleaning the battlefield.
After hearing Fang Lang’s question, he stood at attention and saluted:
“Boss, please rest assured!
The photographer went to the island with the commando. When the commando occupied the Japanese camp, the photographer took pictures of the whole process.
The scenes of taking down the Japanese flag and raising our Brazilian flag are fully documented. ”
Looking at the other party’s expression, Fang Lang smiled and said:
“Why, judging by the way you look, I’m not very happy that I didn’t win the battle!”
Duarte was trained by Fang Lang to help him become an officer of the Marine Corps,
It turned out that when he was on the destroyer House, he led the sailors and rescued the British destroyer controlled by the Germans. He was a capable marine officer.
After hearing Fang Lang’s question, Duarte smiled a little embarrassedly.
“No, no, it’s just that these Japanese dwarfs are a little rough,
When we came up, they had been cleaned up by the commando brothers. ”
Although he said no, it was obvious that he was not satisfied with not getting the battle.
Fang Lang glanced at him, and said seriously:
“The performance of the commando team this time is generally not bad, basically meeting the training requirements.
But it also exposed many problems.
Facing a group of untrained Japanese civilians, it is really unreasonable to pay the price of five deaths.
Tell me, why did this happen? ”
Looking at Fang Lang’s serious expression, Duarte quickly adjusted his mood, raised his head and chest to Fang Lang, and said seriously:
“Yes, boss,
According to what I learned from the commandos, the team members did not encounter enemy blocking in the early stage, which made them relax their vigilance.
The aviation bombing of the remaining Japanese made them anxious.
Did not strictly follow the tactical actions, which caused loopholes in the offensive formation and gave the Japanese a chance to die together.
In addition, everyone is not familiar with the terrain and environment here, so there are loopholes in everyone’s cooperation. ”
Nodding his head, Fang Lang said slowly:
“It’s not bad to be able to spot your mistakes.
After going back, let everyone summarize by themselves and discuss the methods to see if there is any way to avoid the same problem next time.
In addition, we must pay attention to the question you raised about the unfamiliar environment and terrain.
A lot of terrain on our side is jungle.
The performance of our soldiers this time is obviously not familiar with jungle warfare.
Of course, this has something to do with the training we receive from American instructors. Their tactics do not include jungle warfare tactics.
But we have a huge Amazon jungle in Brazil.
In the future, the main battlefield of our army may also be the jungle, so the Marine Corps should focus on studying what jungle warfare is like.
Carry out more targeted training.
There are many excellent hunters in the Amazon jungle. We need to recruit some excellent hunters to teach our soldiers how to survive and fight in the jungle.
must not appear again on our own territory, with unfamiliar environments and terrain.
In the end, we must form our own set of jungle warfare theories and tactics. ”
After hearing Fang Lang’s words, Duarte nodded again and again, especially when he heard that he would consult an excellent hunter living in the Amazon jungle, which made his eyes shine.
quickly stood at attention and took orders.
A messy battlefield, there is not much to see,
After Fang Lang walked around the Japanese camp, accompanied by everyone, he left the island and returned to the warship.
The first battalion of the Marine Corps who did not win the battle stayed on the island to clean up the remnants of the enemy, and then led the fleet to withdraw to Natal.
Early the next morning, the video of the battle was broadcast on Brazilian TV.
When the Brazilian people saw the powerful aircraft carrier fleet launching an attack on the island, all of them were excited.
In the past, everyone could only see boring words and descriptions of the cruelty of war from newspapers.
But this time the powerful aircraft carrier fleet on the TV, each plane took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier,
Flying from the air to the camp with the Japanese flag, dropping one after another aerial bombs, causing a big explosion that soared into the sky.
Looking at the battlefield that was blown up into chaos in the blink of an eye, everyone was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, the naval guns on the warship aimed at each other, fired round after round, and the flames sprayed from the muzzle. This shocking scene made all the men tremble with excitement.
I can’t wait to be in it and become a naval soldier.
Then the marines, escorted by landing craft, rushed onto the beach.
Under the cover of their shields, the soldiers performed a series of tactical actions, which made everyone look incomprehensible, but they just thought it was very powerful.
The scene of shooting and exchanging fire with the Japanese in the jungle made everyone terrified and worried.
Finally, after the victory of the war, when the soldiers tore down the Japanese flag and raised the Brazilian flag, all the people cheered, sang and danced.
The enthusiastic Brazilian girl danced the samba to express her excitement.
The people also joined in one after another, and the place where the TV was placed became a sea of joy for people.
In contrast, the entire Eddie family has become a shame for the whole of Brazil, almost to the point where everyone shouts and beats them.
The policemen who were closely related to the Eddie family also fell into deep panic.
Because, just yesterday, the news that the Minister of Justice proposed to Mr. President to rectify the national police system has spread.
Everyone is very worried about being liquidated.
For a while, people were panicked.
The investigation team of the Ministry of Justice led by the Minister of Justice took a special plane early in the morning and flew to Natal, a very inconspicuous small city in Brazil.
Fang Lang, who had just returned to the Natal Naval Base, received the news immediately.
After finishing the finishing work after the army goes out.
Fang Lang hosted a banquet for Minister of Justice Carles Cayo at the Chinese restaurant Deyilou in Natal.
“General Fang, thank you very much for your hospitality.
First, on behalf of the Department of Justice, I want to apologize! ”
Mr. Minister put on a very low attitude as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn’t see the airs of the real power faction in Brazil at all.
Fang Lang didn’t expect this situation, Fang Lang hurriedly said modestly:
“Minister Kayo, you are too polite, if I remember correctly, we should meet for the first time.
You don’t have anything to say sorry to me!
Don’t discourage me, a young man. ”
Minister Carles Cayo heard Fang Lang’s answer, thinking that the other party didn’t know that it was the Eddie family who assassinated the other party.
So, after holding hands and hugging each other, he said:
“General Fang, I apologize to you for a reason,
Regarding your last assassination case in Sao Paulo, our Ministry of Justice has been taking over the investigation.
But time has passed for so long, and there has been no progress.
This is the responsibility of our Department of Justice, and on behalf of our entire Department of Justice, I must apologize. ”
Fang Lang laughed when he heard this, pointed to the main seat of the table and said:
“Mr. Minister is joking, the investigation of this case is very difficult.
I know very well, so I don’t blame you.
It’s not worth the Minister’s trip today. ”
In fact, Fang Lang had received news from General Crook a long time ago, and had a clear understanding of the main purpose of the Minister of Justice’s visit.
But he will not, take the initiative to provoke the topic inside.
So, I chose to play dumb.
The Minister of Justice smiled awkwardly and said:
“This time, first of all, I want to inform you about the progress of the investigation of this case.
According to the confession made by Raymond Eddie, he organized and planned your assassination,
At that time, the commander who organized the gang members to ambush at the scene was his bodyguard. ”
“What? Is it Raymond Eddie who assassinated me?
It doesn’t make sense! I don’t know him at all! “Fang Lang looked at Minister Carles Kayo in disbelief and said.
Calus Cayo didn’t know whether Fang Lang really didn’t know or if he didn’t know.
You must know that this matter was not investigated by their Ministry of Justice.
Even if Fang Lang doesn’t know what’s going on now, he will soon receive news that it was the Brazilian Intelligence Agency who investigated the truth.
So, this credit should definitely not be recognized by Carles Cayo.
He could only nod his head in embarrassment and said:
“Yes! We didn’t expect that this crazy guy would dare to attack you.
As his superior, I must express my apologies to you. ”
Fang Lang waved his hands with a puzzled expression and said:
“Minister Kayo, is there some misunderstanding here!
I have never had any interaction with this Mr. Raymond Eddy. The other party would have someone assassinate me for no reason! ”
The reason why Fang Lang wanted to play dumb in front of Minister Carles Cayo was to downplay his own influence in this matter.
After all, in the past few days, successive news reports have been targeting Raymond Eddy.
The first to report and hold the first-hand information is Brazil Times.
Everyone knows that Brazil Times is the property of the Fang family, and it will inevitably arouse doubts in those who are interested.
If someone finally analyzes it and suspects that all of this is Fang Lang’s conspiracy to bring down the Eddie family, it will be troublesome.
