Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 602

  Chapter 602 Reception dinner

  Fang Lang's words stunned everyone now. They didn't expect Fang Lang, a Brazilian rear admiral who couldn't compete with Hong Kong City, to have such an experience, and the other party actually contributed to the liberation of Hong Kong City.

   This was beyond everyone's expectations, and for a while, it fell into a strange silence.

Regarding this point, as the commander of the British Navy stationed in Hong Kong City, he certainly knows it well. He noticed that a few people looked in his direction unconsciously. He understood that this was what everyone wanted to confirm the news from him. true and false.

  Of course it was impossible for him to deny this obvious fact, so he could only nod slightly to everyone. Seeing this situation, everyone wisely chose to shut up.

And the reporter who asked this question was left speechless by Fang Lang's question. He didn't know how to answer for a while. You must know that he had not participated in any resistance actions when Hong Kong City was occupied by the Japanese. When the person asked directly, his face suddenly became very embarrassed.

However, the people at the scene didn't have time to care about his feelings. After listening to Fang Lang's narration, many people's attitudes towards Fang Lang changed. One of the reporters who reacted first turned the conversation around directly. Governor Grantham said:

   "Mr. Governor, I don't know what you think of General Fang's statement that the opposite side has no intention of retaking Hong Kong City by force?"

  As soon as this remark came out, the reporters on the scene quickly responded, why did they keep targeting Fang Lang! Regarding the topic brought up by the other party, we should pay more attention to the opinion of the Governor of Hong Kong!

  So, for a while, everyone's attention was diverted, and even Fang Lang's topic that the total answer was a question was instantly forgotten.

   Of course Fang Lang was happy to see the success of this, he took a step back calmly, and gave up the position to the governor.

  Governor Ge Lianghong was also scratching his head for the reporters' questions for a while. As the governor of Hong Kong City, he certainly hopes that Hong Kong City can maintain the status quo, so he had no choice but to follow Fang Lang's words:

   "Of course we also hope that the other side can exercise restraint and resolve the port city issue through negotiations. Judging from the current situation, General Fang's analysis is not unreasonable.

  Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country is also actively negotiating with the other party. If the two sides can reach an agreement, our Hong Kong City issue will definitely be satisfactorily resolved. "

Then the reporters asked the commander of the navy about related issues. I don't know if it was because of the reason to appease the people of the port city. Analyzed the current situation from a different perspective.

   And this is exactly what Fang Lang wanted to see, after all, he came here for the purpose of peace, not to provoke trouble.

   Soon, the press conference ended smoothly in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

Because there are a large number of British navies in the Admiralty Naval Base, the number of naval dormitories that can be adjusted is limited. The officers and soldiers under Fang Lang's command can only place some naval officers and soldiers in the naval dormitories on the shore, while the other part still needs to be on the warship. stationed.

In this regard, Fang Lang has no dissatisfaction. He has been stationed in Hong Kong City for a long time this time, and the officers and soldiers can go ashore in batches to rest. He himself did not use the dormitory arranged for him by the British Navy, but chose to stay directly on the warship This moved the officers and soldiers of the navy under his command.

  Actually, there is another reason why Fang Lang doesn't live in the naval dormitory arranged by the British, that is, he needs to arrange some other things in the port city, and he doesn't want the British to know.

You must know that the British intelligence agency has a long history. In the eyes of many people, although the reputation is not as famous as the CIA of the United States, anyone who really understands knows that the UK is an old intelligence power. In the two world wars, it fought with the German intelligence agency. It is impressive and has rich practical experience.

   And Hong Kong City is also the largest intelligence center in Asia. The British are quite powerful here, so it is better to keep a low profile on many things!

  Of course, he will not always live on the warship. Port City is his important business sector in Asia, and their company's investment here is no less than that of Japan.

  In addition, he had been preparing for the upcoming Peninsula War very early, and opened many trading companies around the world in the name of many British people. After helping Suleiman Brom transfer treasures from India in the name of transferring cotton last time, he arranged for someone to get in touch with this big Indian landowner.

   Now a lot of cotton shipped from India to Hong Kong City is handled by his people. Of course, these businessmen have nothing to do with his Global Group or Fangyuan Group on the surface.

  Even if someone finds the head of these businessmen, it is absolutely impossible to contact him.

  The reason for doing this is very simple. The time when the homeland of the Peninsula War participated in the war was in winter. What the troops lack most is warm cotton clothes. At the same time, cotton is also the raw material for making medical gauze and medical cotton. It is a proper and important strategic material.

   Of course, Fang Lang had to find a way to send as much as possible to his hometown, so he began to lay out a cotton supply channel from India to Hong Kong City early on, and for this reason he also opened several cotton spinning factories in Hong Kong City.

  Since he has made so many arrangements in the port city, of course he doesn't even have houses. The only reason why he doesn't live in these places is that it hasn't come yet.

Time soon came to night, and the welcome dinner hosted by the Governor's Mansion for Fang Lang was held at the Governor's Mansion. All the celebrities in Hong Kong City were invited. Considering Fang Lang's Chinese identity, Mr. Governor also invited many Famous Chinese in Hong Kong participated.

  But Fang Lang didn't have much interest in dealing with these Chinese celebrities, because most of the people who were invited were rich Chinese businessmen who were born in compradors. Although they were not traitors, they were definitely not patriots.

   After all, true patriots are unlikely to be liked by the British authorities and invite them to dinner.

  So, Fang Lang performed very low-key throughout the dinner, except for the necessary entertainment, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.

   "Fang, you don't seem to like this kind of occasion?"

  As Fang Lang's friend, Reinhardt has been paying attention to Fang Lang's feelings. Seeing that the other party was obviously absent-minded and uninterested in such a banquet, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

   "Brother, you know me well. I have always disliked this kind of banquet. Compared with it, I want to experience the food stall culture in Hong Kong City."

  Hearing this, Reinhardt couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed. This good friend of mine has indeed never been interested in this kind of reception.

  He has been stationed in Hong Kong City for several months, and of course has a certain understanding of the food stalls in Hong Kong City. Now that Fang Lang said that he wanted to experience the food stall culture, he couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment.

  The current security situation in the port city is not good, and conflicts often occur at food stalls at night. He is a little worried that if he goes out with Fang Lang, something unexpected will happen.

  But as a friend, the other party offered to try the food stall, and he couldn't refuse. Looking up and looking around, all the political and business elites who are talking and laughing are well-dressed.

  Looking at the good brother who is obviously a little bit depressed, he can only grit his teeth and say:

   "Okay, after the banquet is over, let's change our clothes and experience the characteristics of the food stalls in Hong Kong City!"

  Fang Lang smiled when he heard the words, patted the other party's arm with satisfaction and said:

   "Good brother, that's right! Young people like us, of course, have some young people's activities. If we stay with these old guys for a long time, sooner or later we will become as dull as them."

When Reinhardt heard this, he couldn't help showing a wry smile. His brother is really a master who doesn't follow common sense. This kind of banquet is an occasion where many people break their heads and try their best to squeeze in, but he But he just dismisses it, and instead has a soft spot for the food stalls that these upper-class people despise.

"Okay, okay, you should keep your voice down! You are not afraid of these old guys, I still have to make a living under others! If they listen to their ears and give me small shoes to wear, I will feel uncomfortable .”

   "I said Reinhardt, this doesn't look like your boy at all! The son of the chief of the Royal Navy's general staff, afraid of these old guys?"

  Listening to Fang Lang's teasing tone, Reinhardt only felt a row of black lines appearing on his head, and couldn't help raising his eyes to look around, and found that no one was eavesdropping on the two of them, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Brother Fang, I beg you, can you keep your voice down? It's not the same today. My father will be retiring as the chief of the Navy's general staff after Christmas. Some people are trying to make trouble for my father, The new chief is loyal!

  You mustn't make any troubles that will make my father unable to step down. "

   Fang Lang frowned slightly when he heard the words. If Reinhardt's father stepped down from the position of Chief of the Navy's Chief of Staff, it would not have much impact on him, but it would definitely not be considered good news.

  However, given the status of the Henderson family in the UK, even if someone wants to trouble him, it is impossible to kill him. After all, this kind of old-fashioned aristocrat sometimes has to follow some rules.

   "Oh! Is Uncle Henderson stepping down?

   It doesn't matter, if Uncle Henderson is willing, he can find time to come to Brazil after retirement. I promise to welcome him warmly and let him have a good time.

  As for you kid, you are also a member of the Henderson family, so don't be so cautious! After Uncle Henderson pushes you down, you will be the hope of the Henderson family, you can't be cowardly!

  Brothers, if you need my help, just ask. If I can help, I will never postpone it. "

   Reinhardt was also a little moved when he heard the words. Although Fang Lang just stated at the press conference that he did not come here to support the United Kingdom, he was still very moved that he was able to take the initiative to express his support for him.

   "Don't worry! Our Henderson family is not that fragile. My father just retired normally and didn't make any mistakes. Besides, our family relationship is also good, and my future will not be affected at all."

   "Then what else is there to say, what's the point of staying at this banquet! Let's go, let's go, let's find a place to experience the food stalls in Hong Kong City."

   Seeing that the other party seemed to be fine, Fang Lang felt relieved, and immediately urged Reinhardt to go out for supper with refreshed spirit.

   Ryan Hartton feels helpless about this, this is a dinner party for you! If the people above knew that you, the protagonist, were taken away by me for supper, I wouldn't have been sprayed to death by my superiors!

   Hastily reached out and pressed Fang Lang's shoulder and said:

   "Brother, go, go, tonight I will definitely take you to experience the style of the food stalls in Hong Kong City, but you have to wait until the dinner is over! You are the protagonist of the dinner!"

  Hearing this, Fang Lang touched his forehead helplessly, threw the wine glass in his hand on the small table next to him, and complained to Reinhardt:

   "Hey! You're right. It's really not good to leave at this time. It's a bit embarrassing to the Governor. But if we go there later, the food stall will not be closed!"

   "Don't worry! As far as I know, most of the food stalls will be open until after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. We will go there after the banquet."

   "No problem, then it's settled. While you have time now, you hurry to arrange a few cars, and we will leave directly after our dinner is over."

   Seeing that Fang Lang had made up his mind, Reinhardt also knew that he must not go tonight, so he could only sigh helplessly, got up and said:

   "Hey! You are really difficult to deal with, boy, okay, I will make arrangements now, and we will go directly after the dinner."

  Fang Lang laughed and got up and gave the other party a big hug, patted the other party's back hard and said:

   "Haha... Good brother, this is the right way! This is the kindness of the landlord, so I will wait here for your good news."

   Regarding Fang Lang's rogue behavior, Reinhardt could only smile wryly and shake his head while arranging vehicles.

   Watching Reinhardt's leaving figure, Fang Lang slowly sat back in the corner, held the wine glass to his mouth again, and seemed to be continuing to taste the wine.

   But his gaze was already quietly sizing up the guests at the banquet. Reinhardt's words reminded him that these British people were obviously not of one mind.

My statement today must have caused dissatisfaction among many people. The news that everyone was looking forward to giving the British a platform did not arrive. Instead, Fang Lang's words directly led the confrontation atmosphere between China and Britain to the direction of peaceful negotiations .

   This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among anti-China insiders in the UK. After all, Fang Lang is just a Brazilian rear admiral, and the Brazilian navy is not a powerful military power. Even in the eyes of many British people, Brazil is similar to a Portuguese colony.

   Fang Lang's self-assertive statement at this time will naturally dissatisfy these white supremacist elites, and it may be followed by hostile targeting actions.

  As an Englishman, Leonhardt will definitely notice this atmosphere before himself. It is not so much that Leonhardt is worried about the chain reaction caused by his father's imminent resignation.

   It is better to say that he felt abnormal emotions among the British people in Hong Kong City.

Thinking of this, Fang Lang couldn't help but sneered at the corner of his mouth. He really expected someone to do something to him. You must know that his current identity is not an ordinary Chinese, but a Brazilian Rear Admiral. Although there are many British people with this identity Feel weightless.

   But taking it out is also a diplomatic status. Once someone takes any action against him, he will definitely let him know what is called a diplomatic incident.
