Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 652

  Chapter 652 Message from the Ministry of Defense

  In early February 1950, after a month of voyage, the Brazilian Navy led by Fang Lang visited the port city fleet and finally returned to the long-awaited Natal Naval Base in Brazil.

   Returning to China with them, there are also four passenger ships of the global shipping company. These passenger ships transport the last batch of laborers and immigrants from the port city to Brazil from the port city.

  Because of the stability of the situation in his hometown and the rapid growth of the Chinese population in Brazil, Fang Lang is also preparing to end his immigration from his hometown to Brazil.

   Prepare to settle down wholeheartedly to manage the industry in Brazil and further improve the status of the Chinese in Brazil.

  This time Fang Lang's return, the welcome ceremony at the Natal Naval Base was very simple, and there was no big fuss. It was just the officers and soldiers of the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group, who lined up on the pier to greet them, and expressed a warm welcome to the return of their chief.

   "Boss, you are back. Recently, I heard some abnormal voices from the Ministry of Defense. I think there is something wrong with it. You may pay attention to it."

  Not long after returning to Natal, just after Fang Lang organized a meeting with the senior officers of the fleet, Chief of Staff De La Torre walked directly behind Fang Lang and walked into Fang Lang's office.

   Seeing that it was his chief of staff de la Torre, Fang Lang smiled and patted the other's arm, pointed to the tea table that hadn't been used for a long time and said:

"Haha... don't worry, my brother, you came at a good time. I went to Hong Kong City this time, and I collected a lot of good tea. Let's try it today and see if there is anything you like. I will take two boxes back later. "

Seeing Fang Lang's calm look, De La Torre quickly adjusted his mentality, nodded to Fang Lang, took off his military cap, put it on the sofa in the office, turned around and pulled out the mahogany armchair on the tea table, sat on it.

   "Okay! This matter is indeed not in a hurry, let's sit down and talk slowly!

  I knew the boss would bring back a lot of good things when he went to Hong Kong City. That's why I ran over early to report to work. "

Fang Lang smiled and hung his military cap on the coat rack in the office, and slowly put the meeting documents in his hand behind his desk, before turning around and taking out two boxes of packaging from the cabinet next to his desk Exquisite tea, come to the main seat of the tea table and sit down.

   Handed one of the boxes to De La Torre casually, and said with a smile on his face:

"Let me tell you, this is a real precious tea. The amount that can be released on the market every year is less than five catties. This time I also spent a lot of effort to get such a small amount. Take this box back and drink it slowly. Just waste it, and I don't know when I want to get it next time.”

The relationship between de la Torre and Fang Lang is naturally quite close now. Hearing Fang Lang say that the tea is so precious, he couldn't help but take a second look, and found that although the tea packaging box is exquisite, there is no extra text description.

   But the more this is the case, the more precious he feels it. Think about it, what things can be packaged with such an exquisite appearance without showing his name.

   Respectfully took the box of tea from Fang Lang with his hands outstretched, and De La Torre said with a smile:

   "The boss gave it to me, so I won't be polite. Don't worry, the boss, I will lock it in the safe when I get back, and no one will want me to take this tea out."

   Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing.

   "It's okay, you can keep it well, but let's talk about it first! If I come to sit in your office, you have to contribute it."

   Fang Lang said as he unpacked the box of tea in his hand, and called out to Qi Qingshan outside, asking the guards to heat the red clay stove and bring it in.

Hearing Fang Lang's greeting, Qi Qingshan asked a guard to push in the small red clay stove that had been prepared. Now Fang Lang is very particular about drinking tea. mineral water.

  Even the charcoal used for boiling water in the small red clay stove is professional olive-core charcoal. Of course, the reason for these is also thanks to Fang Lang's housekeeper Fu Bo in the Chinese-style villa in Rio de Janeiro.

  Della Torre watched the guard push in the small red clay stove that was already boiling water, smiled at the other party and said:

   "That's natural, the good tea brought by the boss is naturally to be shared with the boss.

  But boss, you also know that although I have good tea there, I don't have such good water and charcoal as you, see if you can hehe..."

   Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing.

   "Good de la Torre, I didn't realize that your brother has such a side before!"

  Hearing Fang Lang's joke, de la Torre smiled.

   "Haha... Did the boss just find out now?"

  The two were talking and laughing and joking, and being separated for such a long time did not make the two of them any strangers. After Fang Lang made the tea and handed a cup to de la Torre, he said:

   "The abnormal voice of the Ministry of Defense you just said, does it mean that someone proposed to let me be the deputy chief of staff of the Navy?"

  Della Torre was not surprised that Fang Lang could receive the news. After taking a sip of tea from the teacup, he nodded seriously and said:

   "Yes, boss. With your ability and qualifications, the post of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy Department is indeed more than sufficient, but I feel that at this point in time when the president changes, someone may have bad intentions to make this suggestion."

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang smiled and nodded, took a sip of tea before saying:

"Hey... I already know the matter. This is Mokti Scalia, who is known to be the most promising new president. He has a good relationship with me. I want to have a secret promotion in the name of promotion. The Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group has been taken from me!

  The idea was to play well, sell it in front of the president, and transfer me away, but unfortunately his calculation was wrong. "

Hearing Fang Lang's words, de la Torre knew that Fang Lang had already received the news, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He knew very well in his heart that the reason why the current Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group can have its current scale and combat effectiveness is all thanks to it. Thanks to Fang Lang's heavy investment.

   This heavy investment does not come from the Brazilian government, but from Fang Lang's private pocket. It can be said that the current Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group is actually Fang Lang's private army.

  Once Fang Lang leaves this fleet, no one else can control this fleet at all, not to mention spending such a large amount of funds to continue the benefits of the original crew members and ensure the stability of the military.

  Just because the current army is not as corrupt as other armies, it can make all the officers and soldiers incompatible with the new chief. If the new chief officer treats this fleet according to the habits developed in other armies, it may cause a mutiny.

  Especially, if someone dares to attack the military pay, the entire fleet may directly rebel. It can be said that in the whole of Brazil, except for Fang Lang, no one can play with this fleet at all.

  He himself can only have his current status under Fang Lang's command, and he naturally has a quite clear understanding of this. It's not that no one came to him during this period of time, but he directly rejected them all, and he didn't even give others the chance to meet.

   Now that Fang Lang has already prepared for this, of course he won't say more.

   "It's good that the boss knows it well. It's not easy for us to achieve today's achievements. We must not give those small things a chance."

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang laughed, and filled another cup of tea for de la Torre:

   "Haha...Actually, I don't dislike being promoted to the post of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy."

  Della Torre, who had just been relieved, heard this, and suddenly raised his heart, put down the teacup quickly, looked at Fang Lang with a worried face and said:

"Boss, don't be fooled! This deputy chief of staff of the navy is a false job and doesn't have much real power. You just said that their purpose is to take our fleet away, so don't Be fooled!"

   Seeing de la Torre's anxious face, Fang Lang smiled and stretched out his hand to press down, signaling the other party not to get excited. After the other party calmed down, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Of course I know that this deputy chief of staff is a false position, but I can't always stay in the position of fleet commander without moving! In this case, not to mention that we ourselves have not been moving for a few years, and even the soldiers under our command don't have Any chance of promotion?

  This is not acceptable, it will make the soldiers lose their aggressiveness. "

  As soon as this remark came out, De La Torre was also taken aback. He knew very well that serving as a soldier requires food. Of course, everyone wants to go further. As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

   It is difficult to be promoted in their fleet, but they must not lose the ascending channel, which will make the soldiers lose their motivation. He is already satisfied with his current achievements at this age, but the soldiers under his command will not be so easily satisfied.

  After thinking about this, he couldn't help but look at Fang Lang with some worry.

   "However, if you leave, they will definitely attack our fleet. When the time comes, the fleet you have worked so hard to build will change hands."

  Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled indifferently.

   "Do you think the current Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group can gain a firm foothold in our fleet with a commander who is not recognized by me?"

  Della Torre shook his head firmly when he heard the words. He knew very well in his heart that this fleet was Fang Lang's private army. Without Fang Lang's nod, no one in this army could command a single soldier.

   "Since I can't, why should I worry about it! They think that if I get promoted, they can come to pick peaches, and they don't want to see how our fleet is built up bit by bit.

   And with my relationship in the Admiralty, even if I leave, the new fleet commander can only be appointed by me. They want to intervene, it is purely a daydream. "

  Actually, Fang Lang never thought about leaving the fleet he built so early, but the speed of their business development in the past few years has greatly exceeded his expectations.

  At the same time, Xin Shiliang's investment in the political field has also seen results. It can be said that he no longer needs to hide in remote Natal to hide his strength and bide his time.

  So, after hearing the intelligence bureau's report on this matter, he seriously thought about what his next step should be.

  At this moment, no matter how dull De La Torre is, he can tell that Fang Lang does have the idea of ​​leaving the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group.

   This made him very flustered. You must know that he has spent many years in the Navy Department. If it weren't for Fang Lang's favor and support, he might have retired and returned home. There is simply no chance of having the life you have now.

   If Fang Lang really left, he would really feel a little confused. However, soon he understood another meaning of Fang Lang, his expression was shocked, and he couldn't help but looked at Fang Lang in surprise and said:

   "Boss, if you really want to leave, don't leave me behind. Be sure to take me away."

   Seeing de la Torre's appearance, Fang Lang understood that de la Torre had understood another meaning of his own, a little surprised and a little puzzled and said:

   "What? Don't want to stay and serve as the commander of the fleet?"

   As soon as Fang Lang finished speaking, De La Torre shook his head and said:

   "I don't want to, I know how much I have. If you let me give you an idea, I will definitely have no problem as a staff officer.

  However, when encountering a war, I need to make a decision directly, and I don't have such decisive ability. "

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked up and down de la Torre a little unexpectedly. If he said that de la Torre was not capable of serving as the chief officer of the army, Fang Lang would not believe it. After all, the other party had also served as the chief official.

  Besides, even if you haven't served in the job before, you can still learn slowly! Who didn't grow up slowly like this? The reason why I say this now is probably more because I am worried about arousing Fang Lang's suspicion.

  Thinking of this, Fang Lang shook his head helplessly, instead of continuing to dwell on this topic, he slowly said:

   "Have you paid attention to the situation between us and Argentina in the past two years?"

  As soldiers, although the imaginary enemy of the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group is not Argentina, they must always pay attention to this neighboring country that is determined to compete with its own country for dominance in South America.

Especially in recent years, with Juan Veron coming to power, the domestic situation in Argentina has undergone major changes. First, like Brazil, it took advantage of the favorable opportunity of World War II to export agricultural products and meat to the outside world, and the economic situation has improved. Great improvement.

  Secondly, Juan Veron launched a five-year plan to carry out industrialization reforms in Argentina, and some initial results have been achieved.

Again, after the end of World War II, many countries participating in the war disarmed, and a lot of cheap and high-quality military equipment appeared on the market, which made Argentina update the equipment of the entire army. Of course, Fang Lang's Shata Company naturally made money It's full.

Finally, although Juan Veron is an Argentine, he is a descendant of Italian immigrants. During World War II, as an Italian, he went to Italy to join the army, accepted the baptism of fascist thought, and followed the Italian army to participate in several war.

  So, I very much agree with the fascist set, not only learning about the policy of governing the country, but even sheltering a large number of war criminals who escaped from Germany.

  Although these people brought some help to Argentina's industrialization, they also brought some dross to his political thinking.

   This is different from Fang Lang. Although Fang Lang also digs talents from Germany, Fang Lang searches for technical talents. This is exactly the same as the practice of the United States and the Soviet Union, and no one will say much.

  But Argentina is not picky at all, and even welcomes those fascist officers who have committed numerous crimes to go to them for political asylum.
