Rio Grande do Sul is the southernmost state of Brazil. It is the primary agricultural and pastoral area of Brazil in later generations. Its food production accounts for about half of Brazil. For Brazil, a country located on the Brazilian plateau, this is the largest agricultural and pastoral area in Brazil except for the Amazon rainforest. , a rare low-altitude area, very livable.
Most of the current residents of Rio Grande do Sul are descendants of German and Italian immigrants. Compared with the central coastal areas, the population is even sparser. It is Fang Lang's preferred place to resettle the Chinese.
“I wonder if land prices in Rio Grande do Sul are high now?”
"What? Fang, do you also want to live in my hometown? You are very welcome, my friend. The land price in my hometown is very cheap, and there is still a large amount of land that has not been cultivated, because the population has always restricted our development. important reason."
Speaking of his hometown of Rio Grande do Sul, Colonel Parisi was very proud and warmly invited Fang Lang to settle in his hometown.
"There are many people in my hometown who want to immigrate to Brazil. If possible, I would recommend Rio Grande do Sul to them. I also want to own a property there. After all, Sao Paulo is still too hot. Got it!"
"Really? Fang, my brother works at the Rio Grande do Sul Immigration Bureau. If you need help, please tell me directly. Don't be polite."
Fang Lang didn't expect such a harvest today. If Parisi really retired after the war and returned to his hometown, maybe he could resettle many Chinese immigrants through him.
Of course, this is still a casual move now. After all, the Japanese have not surrendered yet, and there is still no way to get the people of the motherland out of the Japanese-occupied areas.
In this way, the two of them chatted about the scenery and culture of Rio Grande do Sul, as if the deal reached before did not exist at all. We soon returned to the naval base.
Since it was inevitable that he would serve as the captain of a destroyer, Fang Lang had to start preparing in advance. The first thing he found was his first mate de la Torre. Since he was promoted to the rank of captain, he was still unable to serve as the captain of the Gilas. It was better for him to return to his old profession, first mate of a destroyer.
After receiving the invitation from Fang Lang, de la Torre agreed without any hesitation. Jean didn't even have time to say that he was not prepared to tell him that he would serve as first mate to the current second mate Noro Roberto Fendis in the future.
In fact, de la Torre's idea is very simple. He is a first mate with no backing and no money. In the Brazilian Navy, there is basically no hope of promotion. It is rare to meet a good superior who thinks highly of him. The key is a visible thick thigh. , how can we not hold on tighter!
Considering that de la Torre had many years of service experience in the Brazilian Navy and knew many people, Fang Lang gave de la Torre another task, asking him to provide him with real materials that he thought he had, and because he had no background, he had no For various reasons such as money, naval officers and soldiers who have not been promoted make a list to facilitate their own inspection.
After lunch, Fang Lang came to Brigadier General Jackson's office early. Led by Brigadier General Jackson, they knocked on the office of Lieutenant General Chambers.
"Your Majesty General, this is what I'm telling you, Major Lang of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force! Major Fang, this is Lieutenant General Amuro Chambers, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Fourth Fleet."
Brigadier General Jackson first introduced the two to each other.
"Your Excellency, General, Fang Lang, Major of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, is reporting to you. It's an honor to meet you!" Fang Lang stood at attention and saluted.
Looking at Fang Lang's military salute, Lieutenant General Chambers nodded slightly. Regardless of Fang Lang's ability, at least his military appearance was very satisfactory.
"Hello, Major Fang! Such a young major officer is really young and promising!"
Vice Admiral Chambers was still very surprised by Fang Lang's youth. After all, he was smooth-talking and weak at work. He was so young and had not participated in professional studies. He didn't know whether he was qualified to be the captain of a new destroyer.
"Your Majesty General, this is all thanks to Mr. Brigadier General and your promotion!"
Fang Lang did not hesitate to give his credit for becoming a major at such a young age to the American general, and told him clearly that the reason why he became a major officer was because Americans stood behind him.
As for your own personal abilities, just talking about them is useless. Waiting until you show your results will be more useful than talking about them.
"Your Majesty General, don't be fooled by his youth. He is a little fox. He is very successful in business. He has a quick mind and is experienced in dealing with things."
Commodore Jackson was obviously worried about Lieutenant General Chambers and looked down upon Fang Lang, a young naval lieutenant commander. He hurriedly boasted around him.
After Lieutenant General Chambers glanced at Brigadier General Jackson with a somewhat thoughtful look, he said noncommittally:
"Major Fang Lang, what do you think of the relationship between Brazil and the United States?"
I didn't expect Lieutenant General Chambers to bring up such a big topic. Shouldn't this be discussed with the President? Ask yourself if a small Navy lieutenant commander is not appropriate. Besides, don’t you have any idea about the relationship between Brazil and the United States?
You Americans regard the whole of Latin America as their own backyard. When you need it, you give some aid, and when you don't need it, you leave it aside to fend for yourself. If other forces intervene, you will start to stir up trouble again. Stirring up the rain.
The economies of the entire Latin American countries are unable to develop. There are constant coups, gangs are rampant, and drugs are rampant. Isn't this all done deliberately by you?
Think about it. After the victory of World War II, the United States focused on the revival of Europe and the Cold War, and did not have much control over the development of Brazil. When Brazil began to move closer to the Soviet Union, the United States began to interfere again, causing Brazil's domestic political chaos. , it is simply difficult to develop.
However, Fang Lang will definitely not tell what he has seen through the face of the United States. After all, the United States' influence on Brazil is too great. If he shows it, he will probably die young soon.
I want to take advantage of the fact that the United States is in need of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, accumulate more capital, and dig out more benefits.
"I think the United States and Brazil should be loyal allies, and Brazil should be a loyal follower of the United States. After all, we represent the interests of the entire Americas. Brazil should unswervingly stand with the United States in every aspect. .”
He spoke insincere words and had an impassioned expression on his face. Fang Lang couldn't help but think, how could I become so shameless? Could it be that telling lies with your eyes open is my innate skill? This skill tree seems to be askew!
When Lieutenant General Chambers and Brigadier General Jackson heard Fang Lang's words, their eyes lit up. Isn't this the little licking dog we need? The young man has a future, vision and ideas, and deserves our strong support.
"You are indeed a very visionary young man with great ideas. I admire you very much. I heard that you are also the savior of General Clark's son. You are indeed a good friend of us Americans."
Lieutenant General Chambers was all smiles. He liked the term "loyal follower" very much. He felt that this term should be included in the report submitted to the White House.
"Thank you for your compliment, General. I still have a lot to learn and grow. I hope to receive your guidance and help."
The talent of Fang Flatterer Lang is online. He speaks humble words with a serious expression, which makes Lieutenant General Chambers feel very comfortable. Is there any justice for such a friend who doesn't support him?
What's more, Fang Lang's own label in the Brazilian army is that he has an American background. Even if he says otherwise, no one will believe him! Therefore, it is definitely in the interests of the United States to support such pro-American factions.
"I heard that the Brazilian Expeditionary Force wants us to support a destroyer this time, and you will be the captain, right?"
"Yes, Your Excellency General. I am very honored to be able to pilot an American destroyer and fight with the United States. Victory will definitely belong to us!"
Commodore Jackson looked at Fang Lang in shock. Is this the same guy who didn't want to be the captain of the destroyer yesterday? It couldn't be that after one night, someone changed!
Fortunately, it is in the interests of the United States for Fang Lang to serve as the captain of the destroyer, and with Jackson's relationship with Fang Lang, he will not jump out to destroy Fang Lang at this time.
"Very well, Fang, thank you for coming. I believe you will soon become the captain of Brazil's most advanced destroyer. I hope you can form your own team as soon as possible, go to the United States for training, and come back to fight as soon as possible. "
With General Chambers's nod, it will be a foregone conclusion that Brazil will receive US aid in destroyers.
