Admirals insist that the Minister should assert his authority. He orders the leftist admiral Aragão, commander of the Marine Corps, to suppress the mutiny. Aragão refuses and gets sacked. Admiral Sinay is assigned for the operation. He brings the marine military police company to the site and at morning on the 26th they occupy the street. On the first picture you can see a standoff with sailors on the other side of the fence. But when the offensive into the building was ordered, sailors sang the national anthem from the windows and one invading marine dropped his weapons and helmet and defected to the mutineers. 25 others did the same. Officers were dumbfounded and astonished, and the first offensive failed.
