At Rio de Janeiro Radio, General Dutra's cronies sent Fang Lang a recording of General Dutra's speech. After listening to it, Fang Lang smiled with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, the Voice of Rio radio station began to broadcast to all Brazilian people the vicious events that occurred at the presidential palace last night, and played the recording of General Dutra's speech repeatedly.
In his speech, General Dutra announced to all the people that the Japanese mob's atrocious act of attacking the Presidential Palace last night will be severely held accountable. Demand that Brazilian state governments arrest Japanese mobs on a large scale and impose capital punishment.
At the same time, the Japanese mob caused a large number of casualties to government officials and congressmen in the process of occupying the Presidential Palace and Congress. The president was injured and needed to rest.
Brazil will temporarily enter a state of martial law, and the presidential election will start again in December. The martial law will be lifted after the new president is sworn in.
As soon as the news was announced, newspapers and radio stations began to reprint it one after another, and public opinion was in an uproar.
For a time, everyone of Japanese descent in Brazil shouted for beating, and the Japanese communities in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo were violently beaten by the Brazilian people.
Japanese people in other states were expelled by all Brazilian people. Of course, during the deportation process, Brazilian people with very low education levels often looted the property of Japanese people.
The Brazilian police are dispatched frequently, arresting and interrogating all Japanese people they see. Even if the person who calls the police is Japanese, they will arrest the person who called the police first and interrogate them together.
The Japanese living in Brazil began to have no place overnight, and factories run by Japanese were also burned down by the Brazilian people.
For a while, social security became chaotic. Fortunately, under martial law, the army patrolled the streets in time and suppressed the trend.
Unfortunately, the Japanese businessmen who suffered losses and the members of the loser group of the Chendo League were also implicated, and their lives in Brazil began to become difficult.
Although the government has not declared Japanese Americans to be an undesirable group of people, the Brazilian people throughout Brazilian society have already included Japanese people as an undesirable group.
Chinese Americans as far away as Sao Paulo were almost affected. Fortunately, Mr. Hodges, the Chief of Police of Sao Paulo, promptly dispatched police forces to protect the Chinese Village and explained to the public the differences between Chinese and Japanese.
The instigator of all this is currently in the office of the director of Rio Voices, drinking coffee, singing songs, smoking cigars and cooking hot pot.
Redondo, the manager of the Brazilian branch of Global Trading, who was sitting opposite Fang Lang, was giving Fang Lang a thumbs up.
He never thought that the inexplicable news that Fang Lang asked him to spread would have such a wonderful effect.
"Mr. Fang, you are really amazing!"
"Okay, don't let anyone know about this, okay?"
"Understood, I guarantee it will rot in my stomach."
"Come on, eat vegetables. I'm very satisfied with your performance! This time I'll give you another task."
"Please give me your orders!"
"Did you see that TV set over there? I'm going to build a TV factory and radio station in Brazil. You use global trade channels in European and American countries to find the most advanced related technologies and equipment and ship them back."
"Mr. Fang, please don't worry! I'll make arrangements right away."
"From now on my focus will be on Brazil, so your work will start to get busy.
If there are not enough people, you can entrust Global Trading's branches in Europe and the United States to recruit some outstanding talents.
The next five years will be the time for the group to rise rapidly in Brazil. We must seize the opportunity and quickly grow in strength. "
After finishing the conversation with Redondo, Fang Lang received a call from General Dutra, asking him to go to the Brazilian Ministry of Defense to attend a meeting.
The main content of the meeting was to arrange the first persons in charge of each military administration government. Fang Lang was directly appointed as the head of the interim military administration government of Rio Grande do Norte.
Rio Grande do Norte is the state where Natal, where the First Fleet is based, is located, and Natal is the capital of Rio Grande do Norte.
Fang Lang obviously did not expect that as a naval colonel,
Will become the head of a state's interim military government.
Fang Lang didn't know much about the situation in Rio Grande do Norte, but he certainly wouldn't refuse the opportunity to become the head of a state government.
After the meeting, Fang Lang was left to have dinner with General Dutra.
"Fang, thank you for your kindness in coming all the way to support us. I wonder if you have any thoughts of joining the Navy Department after the new government is established!"
When Fang Lang heard what General Dutra said, he didn't understand. This was telling Fang Lang whether you would like to be promoted when rewards are based on merit.
It is obviously not Fang Lang's goal to enter the Ministry of the Navy as a civilian executive. Fang Lang is very aware of the situation in Brazil in the next few years, and those who do not have military power will not be able to sit still.
"Your Majesty General, I actually prefer to continue serving in my current position. However, after this incident, I also discovered the shortcomings of my First Fleet."
"Oh! Tell me!"
"My biggest feeling in the Pacific battlefield this time is that the air force is the future. A navy without aircraft carriers is a target and can only be passively beaten!
This operation to support your Excellency allowed me to once again experience the role of the Air Force in power projection. Therefore, I am determined to build an aircraft carrier fleet belonging to Brazil.
Now that we don’t have an aircraft carrier, we must also focus on building our naval aviation. "
Fang Lang's words made General Dutra fall into deep thought. After all, General Dutra was born in the army and was not familiar with the navy and air force.
However, General Dutra, who had participated in the European War as a member of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, was very aware of the shock that the overwhelming aircraft bombings on the European battlefield brought to him.
General Dutra was also shocked by the paratrooper tactics that could appear anywhere at any time.
"What you said is very reasonable. I have also seen the power of the American naval aviation, but aviation alone is not enough. Your Marine Corps has too few people.
How about this! After returning to Natal, first expand your Marine Corps to a regiment. After the new government is established, I will take it up and discuss how to deal with it at the Ministry of Defense meeting.
Strive for our Brazilian Navy to also have its own powerful naval aviation. "
General Dutra's statement was tailor-made for Fang Lang. What's there to be dissatisfied about?
He quickly expressed his stance:
"Please rest assured, General, the First Fleet will be the sharpest knife in your hand."
Hearing Fang Lang's words, General Dutra smiled with great satisfaction. Everyone was getting what they needed.
"By the way, I heard that you flew directly from Natal this time and used our own transport plane, but in my impression, we don't seem to have a transport plane! What's going on?"
Fang Lang, who didn't know how to reimburse the cost of purchasing the machine, was overjoyed when he heard this. Wasn't this someone who gave him a pillow just when he was about to fall asleep?
"I actually purchased this urgently from an American gun dealer. It cost me three hundred thousand dollars! They are all C46 transport aircraft currently in service in the US military."
"Oh! Do you still have such arms procurement channels? The price of ten C46s of US$300,000 is very favorable!"
"Hey! What's the discount? They're all second-hand."
"Is there any other equipment I can buy besides airplanes?"
"As long as you have money, you can probably buy anything except big killers like Fat Boy!"
"are you serious?"
"Can I use your channel to purchase some equipment for the military in the future?"
Fang Lang, who originally just wanted to be reimbursed for the cost of purchasing the plane, didn't expect to have the opportunity to become a middleman and earn the difference.
"Of course there is no problem, but I think it is best for us to have our own military industry, otherwise we cannot buy power just by buying it."
"What you said is very reasonable. Unfortunately, our country has always been very poor. It is difficult to develop rapidly relying on agriculture. Industrialization is the future of a country!"
"Yes, General, your wise vision will definitely lead our Brazil to become stronger. Dao Jun
Industrial industry, I think of something that I need to report to you. "
"Oh! Please tell me!"
"While I was stationed in Japan this time, a friend of mine from the US military revealed to me that there was a complete artillery production line.
Ask me if I am interested in purchasing. At that time, I was hot-headed and purchased this production line directly through Fangyuan Group.
However, I'm not sure if the government will be willing to take over if we sell it. If not, we can only resell the equipment separately. "
Fang Lang's news directly caused General Dutra to rise from his seat.
"Are you telling the truth? Where is the device now?"
"According to the itinerary, it should be shipped to Sao Paulo in a week."
General Dutra was obviously very interested in being able to produce artillery independently. After pacing back and forth twice in the room, he sat down opposite Fang Lang again.
"Fang, you really gave me a big surprise. As far as I know, Fangyuan Group is your family business, right?"
"Yes, General."
"If the government cannot afford to purchase this production line, would your group be willing to set up an artillery factory?"
Fang Lang didn't expect General Dutra to want to hand over the manufacturing of arms to private companies.
Fang Lang had actually thought about setting up an artillery factory, otherwise he wouldn't have taken over this production line in the first place.
However, considering that if an artillery factory is directly established, the scale of the Brazilian Army is simply not enough for the factory to survive.
This made Fang Lang very confused.
If artillery is exported, Fang Lang is worried that Japanese artillery technology may not be able to obtain orders in the face of the superior equipment of European and American powers.
"Your Majesty General, in fact, the group has no plans to enter the military industry. With the size of the Brazilian army, it is difficult to support a large-scale military industry enterprise.
The reason why Fangyuan Group purchased this production line was because it contained many advanced industrial machine tools and equipment. "
"Fang, you just said it yourself, we Brazil must have our own military manufacturing capabilities. Now that we already have ready-made equipment, why don't you try to convince the family?
Don't worry, as long as this factory can be built, I will fully support your family's business.
If the artillery factory cannot make a profit, we can guarantee it through tax exemptions for the Yuan Group.
I believe this proposal will receive the full support of the military. "
