Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 604

  Chapter 604 Night chat

  The proprietress didn't even ask how many people wanted to serve, so she turned around and told the boss, Fang Lang couldn't laugh or cry for a while. Good guy, you don't treat yourself as an outsider at all!

   I don't know if it's because the proprietress has such a swift and straightforward personality. The combination of the other party's tone and actions does not make Fang Lang feel disgusted, but it is quite useful, as if everyone is friends who have known each other for a long time.

   Seeing the proprietress leave, Fang Lang didn't think too much, looking at Reinhardt who was looking around curiously beside him and said:

   "Hey! Reinhardt, how are you feeling?"

  Hearing this, Reinhardt turned his head to look at the lady boss who was leaving, and said in a low voice:

   "Brother, isn't it unhygienic here! I saw them cooking directly on the main road."

   Regarding this, Fang Lang just smiled and said directly:

   "Don't worry! There is an old saying in Huaguo that if you don't clean up, you won't get sick if you eat it. There are so many guests eating here, so there is no need to worry about hygiene.

Moreover, I just observed deliberately, the boss's stove is very tidy, and the food is also cleaned very cleanly, and after each dish is cooked, the boss will clean up the hygiene, which shows that the boss's hygiene habits are very good, we Don't worry about hygiene at all, the main thing now is to see how it tastes. "

For people like Fang Lang who have been baptized by food stalls for many years in later generations, the hygienic conditions of the food stalls can be seen at a glance. At least in his observation just now, he did not find that the hygienic conditions of this couple's stalls are obvious. The problem.

   It was obviously the first time for Reinhardt to eat at this kind of place, so he was somewhat uncomfortable.

   "Okay! You have the final say, I hope the taste here will not disappoint you."

  After hearing Fang Lang's answer, he shrugged indifferently.

  Fang Lang patted the other party's shoulder indifferently, signaling for the other party's peace of mind, then turned his head and shouted to the proprietress:

   "Miss Boss, drink three bottles of beer and rinse your mouth first."

   I don't know why, after Fang Lang sat in the food stall, he felt relaxed, as if he had returned to the state where he was sitting with his friends, smoking, drinking, bragging and farting without any scruples.

   It is normal to make loud noises in this kind of food stall, but Fang Lang screamed and rinsed his mouth with beer, which still made the surrounding diners look sideways, which felt quite interesting.

  The proprietress also smiled when she heard the words and quickly responded:

   "Okay, wait a moment, three bosses, three bottles of beer will be delivered right away."

  Beer is not uncommon in this era, but the proprietress was very happy when the guests ordered three bottles of beer, because the profit of drinks is obviously higher than that of meals.

   Soon the bottles of wine were delivered to the table, and the three of Fang Lang were not polite, and each of them started to drink for themselves after a bottle.

  The three of them had just finished drinking a glass of beer, and then the proprietress brought up the first dish.

   "Three bosses, this is stir-fried clams with black pepper. Please enjoy it slowly."

  Fang Lang smiled and nodded to the proprietress, and began to taste the first dish. Stir-Fried Clams with Black Bean Pepper is a very traditional Hong Kong-style stir-fry. It is very simple to make. You only need to fry fresh clams over high heat.

  Although this dish is simple to make, it is a test of the chef's skill to make it delicious and delicious.

  Fang Lang randomly picked up a clam covered in soup and put it in his mouth. With a light suction, the clam meat was sucked into his mouth, and a smooth and spicy taste immediately filled his taste buds.

  The clam meat is fresh and tender, and the soup is delicious. More importantly, the clam meat does not taste any raw sand at all. Even Fang Lang couldn't help but admire, it really is a good craftsmanship.

  Seeing this, Qi Qingshan quickly moved his chopsticks, picked up a clam and put it in his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

  Poor Reinhardt was not used to using chopsticks, so he failed to put a clam into his mouth several times. He was so anxious that Fang Lang laughed and helped him pick up two and put them into the bowl.

   "Try it quickly, this stir-fried clams with black pepper is quite delicious, and you will never forget it after eating it."

Reinhardt tried several times with chopsticks again, but still couldn't pick up the clams. In the end, he had no choice but to give up, dropped the chopsticks and started directly, picked up one and threw it into his mouth. As soon as he tasted the taste, he couldn't help but see one light.

   "Huh! Not bad, not bad, delicious and smooth, you really didn't lie to me."

  Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed loudly.

   Soon, the proprietress served baked fish sausages, jelly-boiled chicken, fried razor clams with black pepper and butter, and added a portion of wet fried beef, filling the small square table to the brim.

  Fang Lang couldn't help but admire the proprietress's way of doing business. The four dishes were almost all meat dishes. It was obvious that none of them were poor money owners, so they were ready to make a good fortune.

  Fang Lang doesn't mind this kind of cunning trick in the market. What's more, the taste of these dishes is indeed very authentic, allowing Fang Lang to experience the flavor of a Hong Kong-style food stall.

With delicious dishes and beer, the three of them naturally had a very pleasant meal. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Reinhardt glanced around to confirm that no one else was eavesdropping, and seemed to be casually talking to Fang Lang said:

   "Brother, in front of so many reporters today, you predicted that the port city issue would be resolved through negotiation. Are you really sure?"

  Fang Lang looked Reinhardt up and down for a while, and after seeing him a little embarrassed, he smiled and said:

   "Leinhardt, we are brothers, you can speak directly if you have anything to say, there is no need to hide it.

  You and I know it well, this time I said that I was invited to visit Hong Kong City. In fact, in order to avoid the right and wrong of the Brazilian election, the invitation was sent to our Brazilian Navy through your family's relationship.

  I am Chinese, and I have always been very concerned about the situation in the Far East. If you will go to war with each other, it is impossible for me to take the Brazilian Navy into a war that does not belong to us.

Therefore, under such circumstances, I am still willing to lead the team to Hong Kong City. Naturally, I am absolutely sure that there will be no fighting here at all, unless you British people are impatient and do it again like the Amethyst. stupid thing. "

  Hearing that Fang Lang evaluated the Amethyst incident as a stupid thing, Reinhardt also felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but take a bite of food to cover up his embarrassment, and then slowly said:

   "What is your basis for being so sure?"

   "First of all, the leader on the opposite side is a man of his word. He said that he would resolve the Hong Kong City issue through negotiations, and he will definitely keep his promise.

  Secondly, the geographical location of the port city is important, and it is a special existence for both you and them. They need a window to communicate with the outside world and understand the Western world, and you also need a window to understand them and a stronghold to continue to exert influence in the Far East.

  In my opinion, with such unique conditions, the development potential of Hong Kong City is unparalleled, just behind it is the huge market with a population of over 100 million. It's what every businessman dreams of.

   Again, you, the United Kingdom, are not actually determined to turn against the other side. Otherwise, when the other side occupied Jinling, your embassy would not have remained there. "

   Talking about this issue with Reinhardt, Fang Lang was actually much more straightforward, and he didn't have the same scruples as he did with Hong Kong Governor Gregory Hong.

   But Fang Lang's words still surprised Reinhardt a little. As a British naval lieutenant colonel, he didn't know what the British upper class thought. In addition, in a country like Britain, the will of the upper class is often not unified, so middle-level officers like them do not have a special understanding of the will of the upper class.

  Now he is a little surprised to hear Fang Lang say that Britain is not determined to fight against the new regime of Huaguo.

   "How is it possible? They are the same regime as the Soviet Union!"

  Regarding Reinhardt's question, Fang Lang shook his head with a smile, took a bite of food and put it in his mouth, and then said unhurriedly:

  "Why is it impossible? During World War II, you British fought against fascism with the Soviet Union! Didn't you British once say that there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests?

  Is the so-called belief really the real reason for the confrontation between the Western world and the Soviet Union? I don't think so! "

Fang Lang's words caught Reinhardt by surprise, but he was born in a British aristocratic family, and he was not ignorant of politics. deep meditation.

   "I understand what you mean. If you say that, it is possible for the other side to give up the sovereignty of the port city in exchange for the British government's reconciliation, right?"

   Fang Lang frowned when he heard the words. These British people always seemed to feel that they were superior, and they were always thinking about their own interests. Reinhardt obviously still feels that Britain is the stronger side, and the reason why the opponents don't attack Hong Kong City is because they want something from Britain.

   After shaking his head and picking up a piece of chicken nugget and chewing it in his mouth for a while, Fang Lang said slowly:

   "No, you are wrong! It is impossible for the opposite side to give up the sovereignty of the port city. The current new regime is different from Chang Kaishen's regime. They will never allow the existence of foreign concessions in the country.

  The reason why they are willing to maintain the status quo of the port city is not that they dare not go to war with the United Kingdom, but that they feel that the current port city is managed by the British, which can give them a window to understand the Western world.

   When the time is right, they will definitely take back the sovereignty of Hong Kong City without hesitation. "

   Reinhardt took a sip of beer, glanced at Fang Lang a little unexpectedly, and said to Fang Lang as if pointing:

   "You seem very optimistic about the new regime?"

   "Of course! You know that I am Chinese. I have many friends on the opposite side. I can learn some news about this regime from them. From what I see now, I think this is a regime that is destined to be great."

   Fang Lang didn't shy away from this. As a latecomer, he knew the future of his hometown.

   When Reinhardt saw Fang Lang's firm expression, he was a little lost for a while. He had a deep understanding of Fang Lang's magic, so he accepted Fang Lang's words very highly.

   Now hearing him express his confidence in the opposite regime, he became a little confused for a while.

   "So, do you think Chang Kaishen's regime is hopeless?"

   "When did they ever have hope?"

   Fang Lang sneered, and couldn't help but ask back.

For a while, Reinhardt didn't know how to answer this question. In fact, he didn't know much about the situation on the other side. He said that everything he knew was what he heard from the news after he came to Hong Kong City. Newspapers will obviously not speak out for the new regime.

   Therefore, he had a big misunderstanding about the opposite party, and now seeing Fang Lang's attitude towards the opposite party seemed to be completely opposite to what he knew, which made him a little confused for a while.

  If he hadn't known that Fang Lang was not an aimless person, he couldn't help but want to argue with him. But based on what he knew about Fang Lang, he began to feel in his heart that maybe he had been wrong all along.

  This kind of situation is not uncommon. In a modern network society, Westerners have a prejudiced attitude towards their hometown, let alone in this era.

   "Okay! If it's what you said, it seems meaningless for us to arrange so many troops in the port city.

  Looks like my desire for meritorious service and promotion has no chance to come true! "

  Fang Lang took a deep look at this guy when he heard the words, wondering if this fleet in Hong Kong City would really be doing nothing! This is clearly not the case. In the upcoming peninsula war, the British also sent their navy to participate in the battle, of course, it was mainly the aircraft on the aircraft carrier and the marines.

   But Fang Lang obviously didn't want Reinhardt to participate in the battle with his hometown, which would make him unable to continue to regard him as a friend. However, it is obviously impossible to let him leave the British Navy.

   After all, this guy is now the family's last hope in the Navy. After thinking about it for a while, Fang Lang felt that he should find a way to divert the conflict.

  "If I were you, I wouldn't want to look for military exploits in Asia. Think about who the biggest enemy in the Western world is now, and you should understand where your eyes should be placed.

  If I were you, I should find a way to transfer to Europe while Uncle Henderson still has power!

  Where is the front line, where will get the greatest support from the entire western world, the best logistical support, the latest equipment, the most elite soldiers, and the most powerful enemy. "

In fact, what Fang Lang said was purely deceiving people. After World War II, the British colonies became independent one after another, and the economy declined rapidly. Naturally, there was no need to maintain a large navy. From then on, the British navy has almost been on the move downhill.

  No matter where Reinhardt goes, he is just looking for the only remaining sense of existence in the increasingly weakened British Royal Navy. If you follow Fang Lang's idea, you might as well just retire and go home, use your family connections to do some business with your company, and maybe you can become a business tycoon.

  But the current Generals Reinhardt and Henderson, and even the entire United Kingdom, have not let go of the pride of the world navy, and still want to maintain the dignity of their empire on which the sun never sets. They will have this sweet dream for another twenty or thirty years.

  Until the Labor Party comes to power and cuts the navy's military expenditure little by little. As each warship reaches the end of its service life and needs to be retired from active service, and there is no money to build new warships, the Royal Navy will find out how far their navy has declined.

  In the mid-1970s, the British realized the reality and had to abandon the global strategy of fighting for sea control, retreating from the east of the Suez Canal in an all-round way, and slowly transforming into a regional navy.
