After this arrest operation, Fang Lang finally understood why the Americans had to train for so long before sending the Brazilian army to the European front. Such a simple arrest operation mobilized an entire company of Marines and achieved a lot. The result was one death and one serious injury. The Brazilian Navy also paid the price, with one person seriously injured and two others slightly injured.
Colonel Teach said he was very satisfied with the results of this battle. This made Fang Lang feel very speechless, but as the largest country in South America, the surrounding environment was also very safe, and there was basically no threat of war. Fang Lang felt relieved after thinking about it.
When Blackwell and Director Hodges took a plane to Rio de Janeiro the next day, they saw Ono Seiichi who was out of danger in the hospital. They were very surprised to be able to catch him alive, which obviously exceeded their expectations.
"Haha...Fang, you are so awesome. We actually have a living person. It seems we can hold a trial for him."
Director Hodges said with excitement.
"Of course, brother, he belongs to you now. What you want to do with him is your right." Although Fang Lang was speechless, he had achieved his goal and couldn't ask for too much.
"Haha...Thank you so much, brother! I brought your bounty this time. I think you are very lucky. I suggest you change your career to a bounty hunter. You will definitely make a fortune. Rich."
"You don't have to be so polite. This is five thousand dollars delivered to your door. Besides, we are all brothers, right! Being a bounty hunter seems to be a good idea. I will seriously consider it. Maybe I can try it after I retire. Isn't it! Hehehe..."
Of course, it is impossible for Fang Lang to become a bounty hunter. The amount of money he can make is not as much as Fang Lang can earn from just selling some cigarettes.
As a military personnel, Captain Blackwell obviously felt that credit was more important than money, so he said from the side:
"Fang, don't worry, I will report your credit for this matter. When the time comes, you won't only be able to collect the reward. Your credit for capturing the Japanese spy is not small."
Seeing that Blackwell was going to take the credit for himself, Fang Lang quickly said:
"Hey...brother, this is not my fault alone. I just discovered him. The one who found and monitored him was my first mate de la Torre. As for the one who caught them, it was Colonel Teach. You can’t take all the credit on me.”
Blackwell and Colonel Teach looked at Fang Lang with surprise. They didn't expect that there are still officers in the Brazilian army who take credit for their achievements. Everyone is eager to take the credit of their subordinates as their own.
Blackwell said with respect:
"Fang, you are such a rare and good commander! I am beginning to envy your first mate."
De La Torre, who had been staying on the sidelines and being a transparent person, was full of excitement. He knew that his commander was a very different kind of commander, but he never expected that he would be so different.
Fang Lang didn't care at all, this is the fact! Why does everyone look like they've seen a ghost? However, Fang Lang always had a question in his mind, and finally couldn't help but ask it.
"These are all small things. However, I have a question. Is it really okay if we don't notify the local police station about this kind of thing? After all, the noise this time is quite big." He looked at Director Hodges.
"Haha... Brother! You are worrying too much! We don't need to consider these issues. Colonel Teach is not free to come here now. What do you think he is doing! Of course he is communicating with the police station! If you really let If Mr. Police Chief gets involved, nothing will happen to us."
Before Chief Hodges could express his opinion, Blackwell had already laughed and spoke, but Fang Lang could tell from his slightly mocking eyes that he probably didn't have a good impression of the Rio de Janeiro police chief.
Sure enough, Fang Lang soon saw the working style of the Rio de Janeiro police chief. When Blackwell returned to the hospital after treating everyone to dinner, he saw many police officers surrounding the hospital.
Seeing this situation, Fang Lang didn't think it had anything to do with it, but Blackwell and Director Hodges obviously changed their faces and rushed into the hospital quickly. In the ward at this moment, they saw a man with a big belly. A fat policeman with a fat head and big ears, weighing more than 250 pounds, was arguing with Colonel Teach in the ward.
"Mr. Colonel, you don't have to tell me anymore. The dead one can be taken away by them, but the living one must be mine."
Colonel Teach's face was livid with anger, and he shouted angrily: "Amycus Lechner, please don't push yourself too far. I've made it very clear that this is an action of our military and has nothing to do with your local police station. Don’t look too ugly when you eat.”
This man turned out to be Rio de Janeiro's police chief, Amycus Lechner, and Blackwell apparently overestimated Colonel Teach's influence over the police chief.
"What do you mean by your military's actions? We also received a wanted order from the Sao Paulo Police Department. This is a matter for our police system. It has nothing to do with your navy. Be careful, I will report it directly to Mr. President and let you, a naval colonel, suffer. I can’t walk around in circles.”
As the police chief of Rio de Janeiro, he dared to argue directly with the naval colonel. Fang Lang believed that the chief must be no ordinary person. Listening to his wishes, he could communicate directly with the president. Fang Lang could only sigh in his heart that he really had a tough background.
"Go ahead and file a complaint if you dare. I'm afraid you won't succeed." Colonel Teach's eyes almost burst out with fire.
Seeing that the emotions between the two parties were about to get out of control, Fang Lang was thinking about whether to step forward to stop him, but after thinking about his identity, it was not appropriate. Fortunately, Director Hodges, who was on the side, had already walked up and said:
"You two, calm down. Don't let the two Japanese hurt your harmony! Can you please give me some respect? Come on, let's sit down in the next room and chat!"
It was obvious that both of them were unable to get off the stage. The appearance of Hodges gave the two people in the quarrel a step up. Hodges ignored their attitudes and pulled them directly to a doctor's office. After driving all the doctors out, he closed the door and held a closed-door meeting inside for an hour.
Although Fang Lang didn't know what was discussed specifically, the final result was that the injured Japanese spy was not suitable for long-distance travel, and was jointly tried by the Sao Paulo Police Department and the Rio de Janeiro Police Department. As for Colonel Teach, he kept a gloomy face. Perhaps this also laid the foundation for what happened next.
Fang Lang was also very speechless. He felt that what he did this time was a bit anticlimactic. If Brazilians did things this way, Fang Lang really didn't know how to describe it. Why can't we deal with it in a win-win situation? Of course, this may also be because Fang Lang takes it for granted. After all, he doesn't understand the situation in Rio de Janeiro, nor does he understand the police chief.
As a Chinese, maybe his way of thinking is to communicate first and then act, distribute the benefits first, and everyone will act together within the negotiated framework, and everyone will share the benefits. Of course, Fang Lang estimated that given how tough he saw the police chief, it would be difficult for him to convince him.
Shaking his head, he and de la Torre returned to the naval base first. After all, it's not his turn to intervene in these matters yet. Anyway, the bonus has been received, and Fang Lang directly divided de la Torre's 2,500 US dollars.
This made de la Torre repeatedly say that he was given too much and that he had done nothing and should not take so much. Fang Lang calmed him down by saying that this was an order. I felt so grateful that I was willing to die for Fang Lang.
This was of course Fang Lang's deliberate move to win people's hearts. After all, he is not short of this little money now. It doesn't matter to him if he gives it all to De La Torre, but he is afraid that De La Torre will feel that he is pitying him. well! It’s hard to be a good person!
After these two incidents, Fang Lang had a completely new understanding of the Brazilian police and military. They simply did everything they could to get the first credit. However, Fang Lang remembered that the combat effectiveness of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force in the European battlefield was not bad in history! Why are you such a bear in China?
