Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 221

  Chapter 221 Conditioning

   Fang Lang's remarks can be regarded as a counterattack to General Clark's wariness against himself. After all, as John's father, Fang Lang's achievements are indeed inseparable from his relationship with John.

   But to say how much direct help General Clark really took the initiative to provide Fang Lang, this is really not.

  As for why General Clark behaved like this, Fang Lang also had some guesses in his heart.

   This may have a lot to do with his skin color, even if he got the rank of major general.

  However, Fang Lang is sure that his life in the US army is absolutely not as free as Brigadier General Jackson.

  Even, Fang Lang could feel a kind of unconfidence as a red neck, or inferiority complex from him.

  No matter what you do, your hands are tied, and you are not free and easy at all.

  Finally, he voluntarily retired in exchange for his son's future.

  After hearing Fang Lang's words, Clark unconsciously lowered his eyes. As a person who has lived for decades, he knew very well that what Fang Lang said made sense.

  It turned out that Fang Lang had never pierced the window paper with him, which made him very wary of little foxes like Fang Lang.

  Worried that the other party will make excessive demands, making it difficult for myself.

  But Fang Lang's words just now can be regarded as directly uncovering General Clark's scars.

   If you want to talk about the people Fang Lang met in the US Navy, or the relationship he has, he is definitely not the highest position.

   What's more, I'm still just a retired rear admiral, and I don't have any real power at all.

   This can be regarded as stripping himself naked and uncovering his fig leaf.

  But he couldn't feel any dissatisfaction, because others have always said that they just came to visit his family.

  It is that I always feel good about myself, and feel that the other party has other plans.

   It was the current situation that caused the situation. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.

   Seeing the face of General Clark on the opposite side constantly changing because of what he said, Fang Lang also felt that his words were a little heavy.

   How to say that the other party is also John's father.

  After thinking about it, Fang Lang took the initiative to say:

   "Uncle, actually, I think you are really tired from living like this.

  I understand your scruples, we are all yellow, and I understand the pressure and even discrimination we have to face from all sides in a white-dominated society.

  However, I don't think this is the reason we live carefully.

  I never thought I was inferior to white people.

  I know that you are worried that I will ask you too much to make things difficult for you.

  However, I think you are underestimating me by doing this. My relationship with John and your family is only because John and I are life and death brothers.

  I've gotten so much help from your family.

  I am not a greedy person, and I have never thought about continuing to gain any benefits from you.

  Since you have retired, I think you should live a free and easy life. "

  Clark was taught a lesson by a junior today, but he couldn't refute it.

  Because the other party really analyzed him very thoroughly, and every word the other party said was very reasonable.

  Thinking about my military career for so many years, I have indeed been very cautious, walking on thin ice, for fear of accidentally doing something wrong.

   Being taken at the opportunity to kick yourself out of your favorite army.

  However, even if I live a cautious life, I am still subject to everywhere in the army. I have more credit than others, but I am not promoted as fast as others.

  Ability is better than others, but also inferior to others. What is the reason for this?

   Is it really just because of my skin color?

   Could it be related to my forbearing and cautious style of doing things?

  Especially in a powerful unit like the army, strength, bravery, and determination are the qualities that soldiers really need to possess!

  Fang Lang's words made General Clark fall into deep self-doubt and self-reflection, and the study became extremely quiet for a while.

   Only the occasional movement of Fang Lang smoking.

   It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that the weird atmosphere was broken.

  Fang Lang noticed that Clark seemed to have changed a little bit, but he couldn't see where the change was.

  Clark cleared his throat and said:

"Come in!"

   It was Mrs. Clark who knocked on the door. Hearing Clark's voice, she pushed open the door of the study. Seeing the smoke in the room, she frowned dissatisfiedly and said:

   "Dinner is ready, let's go down to eat."

   After speaking, he looked at Fang Lang's half-smoked cigar, and the trimmed and unlit cigar in Clark's hand, and knew that Fang Lang was smoking.

   Walking to the bed and opening the window for ventilation, he said to Fang Lang:

   "Fang, you are still young, you should smoke less, it is not good for your health."

  Fang Lang nodded awkwardly, and pressed the cigar out in the ashtray.

   "Okay, Auntie.

   Wasn't my uncle dragged me to the study to give me a lesson, the pressure was too great, I couldn't hold back for a while! "

  After hearing what Fang Lang said, Mrs. Clark believed it to be true, and stared at Clark and said:

   "You old bastard, Fang is our guest, not your subordinate, what do you want to do?"

   Clark, who has been in self-doubt and self-reflection, was finally brought back to reality by Mrs. Clark's knock on the door.

   As a result, he was hit on the head by a huge black pot again, and his whole body was not well.

  Looking at Fang Lang dumbfounded, the mentality of not knowing how to communicate with Fang Lang broke instantly after being taught by Fang Lang's words.

   directly went into a rage and said:

   "Well, you brat, how dare you frame me."

   About to throw a book on the table at Fang Lang.

  Fang Lang hurriedly hid behind Mrs. Clark, yelling:

   "Auntie, help!"

  Ms. Clark turned and glared at Clark who was about to hit Fang Lang.

   Seeing Mrs. Clark's eyes, General Clark put down the book in his hand resentfully, with an embarrassed yet polite smile on his face.

  If only General Clark knew what a dog was! He must have scolded Fang Lang as a real dog.

   But it's strange to say that the feeling of embarrassment facing Fang Lang just now disappeared completely after this.

  Seeing that General Clark, who followed his wife out the door, did not forget to raise his eyebrows and smiled at him, unconsciously put a smile on the corner of his mouth.

  I knew in my heart that this could be considered as Fang Lang found a step down for himself.

   General Clark, who came to the table again, said to Fang Lang as if he had changed into a different person:

   "Boy, I tell you. If you want to hire a professional team from the United States to train you to use the aircraft carrier.

   You must let me be the team leader! "

  Hearing General Clark's unceremonious words, Fang Lang knew that the other party must have figured out what he said to him, otherwise, based on his understanding of General Clark, it would be impossible for him to say such free and easy words.

  Fang Lang raised his eyebrows calmly and said:

   "Why?"

  General Clark said confidently:

   "I can let you get the aircraft carrier in the best condition!"

   As soon as these words came out, not only Fang Lang looked up at Clark, but even Mrs. Clark and Sophia put down the tableware in their hands, and looked at General Clark with surprise on their faces. For a while, they felt that the person in front of them was a little strange.

   Seeing everyone looking at him, Clark coughed twice and said:

   "What are you looking at me for?"

   Sophia couldn't help but said:

   "Are you my father?"

  When General Clark heard this, he gave Sophia a blank look and said:

   "Does this still need to be said? You can ask your mother!"

  Unexpectedly, Mrs. Clark on the side also looked General Clark up and down, and said with some uncertainty:

   "I'm not sure now, is this still the Joseph J. Clark I know?"

  Clark knew what the two were talking about, and he had never used such confident and affirmative words to express his thoughts before.

   Obviously, this is the change brought about after talking with Fang Lang today.

   Seeing the behavior of his wife and daughter, General Clark smiled helplessly from the two of them, turned his head to look at Fang Lang, and waited for his reply.

   Seeing him looking at him, Fang Lang thought for a while and said:

   "The aircraft carrier in the best condition, can the U.S. Navy not keep it for itself, but sell it to us? How is it possible?"

  Although, Fang Lang knows that there is a big difference between the aircraft carrier of this era and the aircraft carrier of later generations, and the technical content is far from as advanced as that of later generations.

  However, in this era, it is indeed the most advanced aircraft carrier.

  Fang Lang thought that it would be great if the Americans agreed to sell one, but he never dared to think that he would have the opportunity to get the best one in active service.

   This is purely looking for fart.

  Seeing that Fang Lang didn't believe it, General Clark smiled and said:

   "You are not a U.S. soldier, you don't understand what is the biggest thing going on at the top of the U.S. military?"

   This topic is obviously not accessible to Fang Lang, he said uncertainly:

   "Is it confidential?"

  General Clark was taken aback, and looked at Fang Lang and smiled with satisfaction. It seems that this guy who is somewhat greedy in his eyes is not a person who has no bottom line.

   "Don't worry! This matter is known to everyone in the high-level military and political circles of the United States. It is not a secret."

   Then there is nothing to be afraid of. What Fang Lang likes to hear most are other people's secrets.

  Although General Clark said that it is not a secret, some things are just gossip for people of a certain level, but for most people, they are secrets that will never have the opportunity to come into contact with.

   "Oh! I really don't understand this. I don't know if it's convenient for you to talk about it."

  Now that General Clark has opened his mouth on this topic, of course he is going to tell Fang Lang about it.

  Ms. Clark and Sophia were even more surprised, and looked at Mr. Clark in disbelief, because in their minds, General Clark was a person who never talked about business at home.

  I never talked about some news about the army at home, but today I actually talked about the secrets of the top US Navy with Fang Lang, a member of the Brazilian Navy, in front of the two of them.

  The two of them didn't know what the situation was, and they were still a little worried about whether they would be arrested if they said these things.

   General Clark noticed the expressions of the two, smiled and said to them:

   "Don't worry! This kind of thing is no secret."

   Then he said to Fang Lang:

   "Do you know the conflict between the U.S. Navy and Army?"

what! Is it such a big topic? Fang Lang had never heard of this topic, and his curiosity was fully mobilized.

   shook his head and said:

   "I have heard that the conflict between the Japanese navy and army is very deep, and it has reached the point where it will hinder you.

  However, in the United States, I have never heard of it. "
