>So Goulart moved where the bulk of the army was, in the Platine region.
Most importantly it was his home state, site of his political tradition, network and popular base. Additionally it was the only state where he felt in control as uniquely there he had momentum and was achieving a handful of victories, though they'd prove hollow. And there was the historical precedent of 1961, when governor Brizola (his brother-in-law) and the IIIrd Army mobilized against the military ministers in Rio to ensure Goulart could assume the presidential office. And this history goes earlier as Goulart was a protegé of Vargas and both were from the same city.
>Did his ambitions grow later?
He received the IIIrd Army and then began to favor the democratic opposition, approaching Kruel and governor Adhemar, who in 1966 made a half-hearted and ill-fated conspiracy to overthrow Castelo Branco. Justino was purged after he made harsh declarations against the President.
