With Blackwell's explanation, Fang Lang finally understood what the situation of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency was like. If he followed what Blackwell said, he might not be able to find out much if he wanted to use him to investigate the situation in Natal. .
He couldn't help but sigh and said:
"I originally wanted to ask you to help provide some information about Natal! It's hard for me to open my mouth after hearing what you said."
"Oh! I'll go find it for you if you want any information about Natal. We may not be able to find information from abroad, but we still have some information here at home.
Moreover, you are a senior military officer, and it is my job to provide you with information. You tell me what information you want, and I will collect it for you. "
Since Blackwell said he could provide domestic intelligence, Fang Lang was certainly not polite and said directly:
"That would be great. Now I am the commander of the Military Control Council of Rio Grande do Norte. However, I am not familiar with this place at all. Please help me find out where you have any information about this place. Can you give it to me? One serving."
Blackwell did not delay and said directly:
"Small question, I will deliver it to you personally tomorrow."
"Aren't you going to set up some kind of counterintelligence department? Can you get away with it?"
"..."
Hearing the silence from the other side, Fang Lang knew what Blackwell meant and burst out laughing!
"I said Blackwell, if you want to come and visit me, of course I'm very welcome, but if you leave your job, I'm afraid your superior will cause trouble for me!"
"Fang, you are so boring. I'll come over to you next time! I'll have someone send you the information tomorrow."
Then he hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Fang Lang shook his head and smiled.
He picked up the cigar placed in the ashtray, took a puff, and continued to think about what Dursley said about the Yakub family. Maybe everyone has heard how much money a family can make by holding a salt company.
However, the salt supply of this salt company accounts for more than 80% of the entire Brazilian market. You can imagine how much profit this company can make.
Just when Fang Lang was thinking about whether to greet the Yakub family first and then talk to the Yacoub family, Duarte knocked on the open office door with a few local soldiers.
Fang Lang looked up, nodded and said directly without getting up:
"Please come in!"
"Tell the boss, what you asked them to check is somewhat revealing. I'll bring them over to talk to you!"
"Oh! Tell me."
Duarte pointed at one of the five warriors, a young man who was obviously of Indian origin and said:
"Boss, this warrior's name is Aegon Netrei. He is a native of Natal."
After the introduction, he said to the soldier:
"Naterey, please tell your commander what you just told me."
This soldier was a little nervous. After standing at attention and saluting, he said:
"Sir, today I left the military camp and went straight home to inquire with my family about the Natal Police Department. Most of the people are very disgusted with the Natal police.
Because they are in the same group as the local Roy Gang, and everyone doing business locally needs to pay protection fees to the Roy Gang, otherwise they will be raped, and the police never care.
It turns out that there is another gang called the Mad Dog Gang, which often clashes with the Roy Gang, so armed fights often occur. Deaths often occur. Generally, if someone dies, the gang will send someone to give money to the police who handle the case.
The Mad Dog Gang was still there before I joined the army, but this time I heard they said it had been wiped out by the Roy Gang. "
"Oh! Has this Roy Gang been around for a long time?"
"This gang has been around for as long as I can remember."
Fang Lang nodded, looked at the soldier and said:
"Is there anything else?"
The soldier shook his head nervously and said:
"I
I asked a lot of people, and most of them said that the police and the Roy Gang were a group, and there was no other special information. "
Obviously, this soldier only comes into contact with ordinary people at the grassroots level, and the problems he sees are all superficial things.
However, these superficial things can also reflect many problems.
Fang Lang nodded, looked at the other soldiers and said:
"Is there any other news? Let's come one by one. There is no need to repeat what we have said before. You can tell us."
Fang Lang gestured to a white soldier standing next to Netrei.
The soldier quickly stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, sir. My name is Torsten Coyle. Today I went to a cafe opposite the police station and heard people in the cafe discussing the direct dismissal of Chief Samir Angel.
I learned from their mouths that Director Angel did not seem to have any real power, and no one respected him. Everyone seems to think that there seems to be no difference whether he is in the police station or not.
But I haven't heard the specific reason. "
Fang Lang nodded and said:
"Any more?"
Seeing the soldier shaking his head, he looked at the other soldiers. The soldier next to him saw Fang Lang's eyes and said quickly:
"Sir, I pretended to be unintentional and overheard two police officers discussing the matter of Chief Angel being dismissed from his post at a newsstand.
They said they finally understood why Deputy Director Bill Yacoub had been the deputy director for more than ten years but was unwilling to become director. It seems that all police officers follow the orders of the deputy chief. "
Hearing the soldier's words, Fang Lang's eyes flashed, he nodded and said:
"What's your name? Did you hear anything else?"
When the soldier heard that Fang Lang actually asked his name, he felt happy and quickly saluted:
"Sir, my name is Ami Weaver. Originally, I wanted to continue to listen more, but these two people just drank a cup of coffee at the newsstand and left, and I didn't dare to follow them."
Fang Lang nodded and said:
"Well, that's right. You were right not to follow me. Is there any news about the others?"
The soldier next to this soldier said in embarrassment:
"Sir, the situations I investigated are similar to theirs."
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"It's okay! If there's anything different, just tell me."
The soldier at the back hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Sir, I learned that there is another deputy chief in the police station named Yusofa Bull. He is an alcoholic and opened a police club not far from the police station.
He basically doesn't go to work at the police station. He drinks in clubs. The police officers basically go to him for a drink after get off work. It seems that he has a good relationship with the police officers. "
"Oh! Is there any other news about Deputy Director Bull?"
Fang Lang looked thoughtful when he heard the soldier's words.
Seeing the soldier shaking his head, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Okay, everyone has worked hard! Go back and rest! Duarte, please stay for a while!"
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers all stood at attention, saluted, and left in formation.
Fang Lang pointed to the sofa in front of the desk, motioned for Duarte to sit down and said, then took out a cigar and handed it over:
"Tomorrow we will arrange for two groups of people to follow up and investigate the two deputy directors. I want to know all their family and social relationships. In addition, our Mayor Dursley will also arrange for a group of people to investigate."
Duarte quickly stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, boss."
"Don't worry, we're not in a hurry. I'm quite busy these days, so you need to pay more attention to the Marines.
Soldiers without missions must become more familiar with the situation in the base, and training cannot be stopped. We will soon expand
Established at regiment level.
You must study hard. I want you to take up the position of regimental leader. I will help you solve the problems related to military rank. You have to work harder yourself.
I don't care what other troops do in normal times. My troops must train at least five days a week and organize confrontation training. When I finish the work at hand, I will take care of it myself. do you understand? "
Fang Lang's words made Duarte overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would soon become the leader of the group after following Fang Lang for such a short period of time.
He quickly stood up and saluted:
"Thank you, boss. My subordinates must live up to the boss's expectations and only obey the boss's name."
Fang Lang smiled and nodded, indicating that Duarte could go out.
Fang Lang still trusted Duarte, otherwise he wouldn't have kept him with him.
But trust is trust. When the Marine Corps is really expanded into a regiment, Fang Lang will definitely continue to put some of his own people into the regiment.
During this expansion, Fang Lang deliberately selected some Chinese from among the domestically recruited workers to directly join his Marine Corps.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Fang Lang arranged for someone to send his father to see Mayor Dursley.
He arranged for Qi Qingshan to supervise the logistics personnel of the base and began to check the list of base supplies provided by Major Mike.
At this time, on the slipway of Universal Shipyard in New York, USA, engineers from Universal Shipyards from the United States, Britain, Germany, and Italy were filling the dry dock with water.
At this time, a cargo ship of small tonnage floating slowly on the slipway was the first experimental container cargo ship built based on the drawings designed by Fang Lang.
"Mr. Wan, please rest assured that during the construction process of the ship, we have repeatedly confirmed that the structural strength of the ship absolutely meets the requirements.
The problem now is how to load and unload such huge containers. There is no way to do this manually. "
The naval engineers were only responsible for the construction of the ship, so they did not know much about other parts, so they raised their own questions to Wan Chongxin.
Wan Chongxin smiled and said:
"Don't worry! This whole set of systematic projects are being carried out simultaneously. After your outfitting is completed, we can drive the ship into our own dock to test whether the port machinery equipment is qualified.
We have even produced more than ten sets of car trailer chassis for hauling these containers. As soon as your ship is confirmed to be delivered, we will start testing the entire system engineering. "
Hearing Wan Chongxin's answer, the engineers breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they also had a detailed understanding of the container system.
I don’t want this invention that can change the world’s shipping industry to be stuck on the loading and unloading equipment.
