For Fang Lang, the family dinner at Reinhardt's house was a big gain. After all, the company also found a partner in the UK. Most importantly, if the company's cooperation is achieved, the relationship between the two will become even closer.
Fang Lang, who returned to the House, directly contacted Colonel Parisi and explained to the colonel that he would be invited to participate in receiving the surrender of German submarines and might obtain a German U-boat as a trophy.
"Fang, are you serious? You mean that our Brazilian Navy will have a chance to get a German U-boat. This is really unbelievable."
Colonel Parisi was obviously shocked that Fang Lang was able to obtain a German U-boat. This is a big killer! The Germans relied on this thing to make the Allies sleepless and sleepless.
With the Germans' use of submarines, the whole world has begun to pay attention to the role of submarines. At this time, Brazil did not even have a submarine!
"To be precise, I will have the opportunity to obtain a U-shaped boat as a trophy. As for whether this U-shaped boat will belong to the Brazilian Navy, it still depends on the situation."
This was a trophy obtained by Fang Lang's own connections, and it was not a normal battlefield seizure. Fang Lang would not directly give it to the Brazilian Navy for free.
Not to mention selling for money, at least the Brazilian government should show some expression! Otherwise, I don’t want Reinhardt to give this gift away easily. After all, this is a favor he owes himself.
"Fang, I understand what you mean. I will contact General Moraes immediately to see what he thinks. If you need it, I will help you find suitable submarine crew members now."
Colonel Parisi is also a smart man. How much contribution the Brazilian Navy made in the naval battle! Why would the Allies allocate a U-boat to you as a trophy?
Now that Fang Lang has the opportunity to be invited to participate in the reception of German submarines, it only shows that Fang Lang's background in the Allied Forces is unfathomable.
Even the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force didn't know that the Germans were preparing to surrender, but Fang Lang had already learned about it in advance.
But this is his personal relationship, and there is no reason for Fang Lang to personally contribute to the Brazilian Navy.
However, Colonel Parisi said that he would find submarine soldiers for Fang Lang, which made Fang Lang a little wary.
"As far as I know, we don't have a submarine force in Brazil! Where can you find suitable candidates?"
Parisi was indeed too excited and did not hear Fang Lang's vigilance from Fang Lang's words.
"Although we don't have suitable submarine crews, we still have basic sailors! Commander, of course you need to solve the problem yourself as an officer, but you definitely need basic sailors! If you transfer the personnel of the House, Need to replenish it!”
After hearing Parisi say that the commander and officers would be dealt with by himself, Fang Lang took off his guard slightly.
"Yes, but all personnel must be personally interviewed by me."
Parisi finally heard Fang Lang's defensiveness from Fang Lang's words that he needed to be interviewed in person.
But he was not angry, instead he laughed and said:
"Haha... Fang, don't worry! If I want to place my own personnel, I can't do it so blatantly. I will only find real warriors in the Brazilian Navy for you.
You and I are good friends. Only when you become stronger will no one dare to touch me easily, right? Have you ever thought about what to do after the war is over? There are some things that are not convenient for you to come forward, but you can tell me and I will help you come forward and communicate with the superiors. "
This can be regarded as Colonel Parisi really thinking about Fang Lang. Now that it has been determined that Germany is about to surrender, it is definitely time to take precautions and start thinking about things after returning to China.
Fang Lang actually didn't know much about the situation in Brazil, and he didn't know how to make the most appropriate choice in his current situation.
Since Colonel Parisi took the initiative to bring it up, it is of course necessary to listen to the advice of this old Brazilian navy.
"I wonder if Colonel Parisi has any good suggestions! I don't know much about the Brazilian Navy and I don't know what kind of position I can take after returning to China."
Colonel Parisi also knew everything about Fang Lang's sincere request for advice.
"Fang, we are brothers. With your record, I believe you will become a naval lieutenant colonel soon. If you become a naval lieutenant colonel, you will be qualified to form your own squadron.
Judging from the current situation, your squadron is definitely the most combat-effective unit in the Brazilian Navy.
Based on my understanding of the Brazilian Naval Staff, it is very likely that you will be transferred to the Rio base.
After all, Rio is the capital of Brazil, and it is possible to have such a dog that has experienced actual combat.
Moreover, the presence of powerful naval forces will undoubtedly provide a strong guarantee for the security of Rio.
I know you have a close relationship with Colonel Teach in Rio, but I advise you not to go to Rio. "
Fang Lang didn't expect that Colonel Parisi would advise him not to go to Rio, and couldn't help but wonder:
"Oh! Why is that? Isn't the garrison in the capital not good enough?"
Colonel Parisi had obviously smelled something bad in advance.
"Because Rio is a powder keg that could explode at any time. I'm not sure you will be affected if you stay in Rio."
As a reborn person, Fang Lang knew that in October, a military coup would occur in Brazil and President Vargas would be forced to step down. It seems that Colonel Parisi, as the President's man, has discovered some bad signs in advance.
"What about your suggestion?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Lang didn't ask himself why he said Rio was a powder keg, but directly asked for his advice.
This shows that Fang Lang may also know some news. However, since Parisi had decided to leave, he did not ask Fang Lang for anything, but directly gave his own advice.
"Of course, stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong and find a place to be your own local emperor! There are three places that are suitable for you.
One is Natal, which is located in the northeastern corner of Brazil and is the closest to Europe and the United States.
Moreover, there is a transit base established by the US military to support the European battlefield. With the withdrawal of the US military, complete infrastructure will be left behind.
The other is my hometown of Rio Grande do Sul, which is located at the southernmost tip of Brazil and is closest to our biggest competitor in South America, Argentina. However, the infrastructure is not perfect and the port conditions are not suitable for use as a military port.
Another one is Paranagua in the state of Paraná. This place is located in the north of Rio Grande do Sul. It has the most suitable seaport in southern Brazil as a military port, but it has not been effectively developed.
Of course, you can also see if there is a better place in your mind. You put forward your own ideas, and I will be responsible for coordinating them for you.
However, there is no way I can guarantee success in the end. "
Colonel Parisi's suggestion coincided with some of Fang Lang's ideas. However, the ports given were not in line with Fang Lang's wishes, so he directly asked where he wanted them to be.
“Isn’t it possible to use Santos Port?”
Parisi was obviously not surprised by the location mentioned by Fang Lang. Apparently, he also considered the position, but was ultimately rejected.
“That’s not to say it’s impossible. Currently, the most developed city in Brazil, besides Rio de Janeiro, is Sao Paulo.
If you choose to base yourself in the port of Santos, you will be too close to São Paulo, which is not necessarily a good thing. "
It turned out that Colonel Parisi's concerns were here. If this was the case, Fang Lang was not worried. How could he say that he had so much investment in Sao Paulo.
Moreover, it has relations with the local garrison and police. In addition, if his fleet is stationed nearby, he really wants to see who dares to touch his tiger beard.
“My home is in Sao Paulo and I certainly hope to be based in Sao Paulo for a long time.
So Colonel Parisi first helped to see if he could try with the Navy Department to allow me to be stationed in my hometown in the future. "
Seeing that Fang Lang had already made his own decision, Colonel Parisi of course would not say anything more. You only need to use yourself as a middleman to convey Fang Lang's ideas.
As for what General Moraes would consider, it is not for him to express his opinion.
His relationship with the Brazilian Navy has been gradually marginalized, so he probably won't be able to do much.
"If you insist, then I will come forward and talk to General Moraes later. However, this is a matter for the Navy Department after all. General Moraes may be able to make suggestions, but it may not necessarily succeed."
