Fang Lang looked at this information and fell into deep contemplation.
Since this is a group of rabble-rousers, and Paul wants to cooperate with them, isn't he afraid that they will be jealous of money and have internal strife? Or maybe he was ready for them to fight among themselves.
If there is internal strife, how can he ensure his own safety?
In other words, how to ensure that this wealth will eventually fall into his pocket?
It's a pity that Fang Lang is not Paul, or rather Leon.
He didn't know exactly what this guy was thinking, but no matter what he thought, he definitely wanted to take out these treasures.
I just don't know what they will do with this wealth.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. Fang Lang simply didn't think about it anymore.
Put down the information in your hand and try to deal with the matter at hand first.
Early the next morning, the golden sun pierced the dark clouds in the sky, as if indicating that freedom and democracy had finally defeated dictatorship.
The inauguration ceremony of Brazil's new president was held in the auditorium of Congress.
The streets of Rio de Janeiro have long been cleaned, and military police are on duty at every intersection on the streets.
The whole atmosphere seemed very serious and tense.
Fang Lang did not go to the Congress Auditorium alone to attend the inauguration of the new president. Instead, he needed to go to the Ministry of National Defense Building to meet the senior military generals and go together.
There are many old acquaintances of Fang Lang here, such as the new Minister of Defense, General Moraes, the Chief of Naval Staff, General Crook, and General Letta from the Logistics Department, all meeting here.
Fang Lang took the initiative to greet everyone one by one, which surprised some military generals who had never met Fang Lang. This young naval colonel was actually very familiar with these big guys in the military.
Finally, after Fang Lang had finished communicating with several military bosses.
Colonel Teach from the Rio de Janeiro Naval Base stepped forward, grabbed Fang Lang and said:
"Fang, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with several generals. No wonder you were able to grow from an ensign to a captain so quickly."
Hearing the strong sour smell in Colonel Teach's words, Fang Lang didn't understand what Colonel Teach was thinking.
But he and Colonel Teach are indeed very good friends, so he won't mind this.
Instead, he smiled and said:
"What do you mean, my position was actually promoted through military merit. What? Brother, are you not convinced? How about we practice."
"Hey! Why are you practicing? You are just trying to bully me because of your youth! Who dares to disapprove of your brother's military exploits and the entire army?
But you are so awesome, how can you chat and laugh with so many generals?
It seems that your rank as colonel will be raised again soon!
From now on, you can’t always hang around in front of me and ask me to salute you! "
Colonel Teach really admired the little brother in front of him from the bottom of his heart. He remembered that the first time they met, the other person was a second lieutenant and he was a colonel.
Now that the other party is a colonel, he is still a colonel.
Although the two of them belong to the same navy, the other is the commander of the most powerful First Fleet in the navy, but he is still the commander of a naval base.
Although the commander of this capital naval base is a coveted position for many people. However, put together with Fang Lang's position, it is simply not the same.
Fortunately, the personal relationship between the two is pretty good, and they may have the opportunity to speak well of themselves in front of their superiors in the future.
As for whether Fang Lang's military rank will be raised one level again, there is almost no doubt. After all, the Navy Ministry is currently seeking an aircraft carrier.
If an agreement can be reached, the aircraft carrier will definitely be given priority in equipping the First Fleet.
It is unjustifiable that the commander of such a powerful naval fleet should not be awarded the rank of rear admiral!
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Fang Lang was awarded the rank of major general.
"To be honest, I am very nervous when communicating with these generals.
Courageous, afraid of saying the wrong thing. If you want to communicate with them, I will take you with me next time. "
"No, please don't. If I were so lucky, I wouldn't have to stay in this naval base any longer.
To be honest, brother, I am not afraid of your jokes. I estimate that my rank of colonel will come to an end in my lifetime.
You are different. You are still young, have a bright future, and are very capable. So, brother, I am very optimistic about you.
In the future, if you become rich, it would be great if you can still remember me as your brother. "
Fang Lang knew what Colonel Teach meant. He was optimistic about his future and could enter the center of the army.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that he just wanted to be a big warlord, with a gun in his hand and no panic in his heart.
As for the positions at the center of the Ministry of National Defense, Fang Lang really had no interest.
Looking at Colonel Teach in front of him, Fang Lang suddenly had a very bold idea in his mind for no reason.
If you don’t want to enter the center, you can help your own people go up there!
Having someone in the center is of great benefit to him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look up and down at Colonel Teach in front of me.
Seeing that Fang Lang didn't speak, but looked at himself up and down with a strange look, Colonel Teach felt awkward, as if his whole person had been seen through.
Thinking that the door was not closed, he quickly adjusted his clothes and found nothing unusual, then looked at Fang Lang nervously and said:
"I said, brother, can we talk it over if we have something to say? The look in your eyes makes me feel scared."
Hearing Colonel Teach's words, Fang Lang couldn't help but laugh, approached Colonel Teach and said:
"Dude, how about I push you up?"
Colonel Teach was stunned by Fang Lang's words and couldn't react for a while.
After a long while, looking at Fang Lang's inscrutable eyes, Colonel Teach's eyes slowly began to widen, his face began to turn red, and his breathing began to become rapid.
Looking at Fang Lang in disbelief, he wondered if his ears had heard wrongly.
He did not doubt whether Fang Lang had this ability. After all, his family established a military industrial group in Brazil.
Close relationship with the new president. Recently, I heard that a large project of the automobile industry system was introduced from Germany, which caused a surge of domestic capital in Brazil and they all participated in it.
For a while, Fangyuan Group's status in Brazil was unmatched. In a capitalist society, money and capital means everything.
Militarily, he is the commander of the largest and most powerful fleet in Brazil. He is also the only military group in the country with sea, land and air forces.
Diplomatically, he has close relations with military dignitaries in many European and American countries.
With such a profound background, it is not easy for Fang Lang to achieve success in Brazil.
However, through his interactions with Fang Lang, he learned that Fang Lang was not a person who liked fame, but rather real rights.
It's not that the big bosses of the Ministry of National Defense don't have real power, but between the real power guys sitting in the office and the real power guys with heavy troops, Fang Lang is more willing to choose the latter.
Therefore, when he heard that Fang Lang intended to push him up, it took him a while to realize that he wanted to use the Fang family's influence to move his position up.
For Colonel Teach, such news is of course good news, but he also understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If you want others to support you, you must be worthy of investment.
What can I bring to him?
"Are you serious?"
But now that Fang Lang mentioned this, Colonel Teach certainly wouldn't refuse. He didn't have a deep background.
It turned out that his backer in the army had retired a few years ago, and he had been in his current position for nearly five years.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to participate in the European war to get gold-plated. Unfortunately, in the Brazilian army, if there is no backstage, there will be no one to give it to you.
Chance.
He understood early on that following General Moraes felt like a promising future, but he never even had a chance to get close to him.
Looking at Colonel Teach looking at him with a serious expression, Fang Lang knew that the other party understood what he meant.
After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Fang Lang lowered his voice and said:
"My first fleet is too far away from the center. I need a friend in the center, and you happen to be my friend, right?"
As a result, Colonel Teach looked at Fang Lang seriously, shook his head and said:
"No, we are not friends."
Fang Lang was stunned when he said this. Just when Fang Lang was still wondering if Tiqi wanted to sternly refuse to form a party for personal gain, he heard Colonel Tiqi continue:
"we are brothers."
Hearing Colonel Teach gasp for breath, Fang Lang was so angry that he wanted to kick him in the butt.
Colonel Teach's attitude had been made very clear. Fang Lang didn't say anything more, but smiled and stretched out his right hand. Seeing this, Colonel Teach stepped forward with excitement and grabbed Fang Lang tightly. Wave hands.
Feeling the force coming from his hand, Fang Lang laughed.
Although, this verbal agreement is not binding at all.
However, political gangs pay attention to the exchange of benefits. If I give you benefits, you must give me benefits in return.
It is not difficult for Fang Lang to help Colonel Teach. The key now is that he does not need Colonel Teach's immediate reward, and he cannot confirm whether this political alliance is reliable.
However, judging from the relationship between Fang Lang and Colonel Teach, Colonel Teach should be the kind of person who can be trusted.
"Haha. Yes, we are brothers. But we have to wait for a suitable opportunity."
"Don't worry! Don't I understand these principles? I didn't want to have the opportunity to go further. Brother, don't worry, I have already received your thoughts."
Fang Lang smiled and did not continue to dwell on this topic.
But both of them knew in their hearts that the relationship of political allies had been officially established. As for how the two sides needed to help each other later, it would depend on the specific situation in the later period.
Colonel Teach also ended the topic in a timely manner and began to take the initiative to invite Fang Lang to introduce him to the officers in the Brazilian Navy who participated in the presidential inauguration ceremony.
The current Brazilian navy is far from as powerful as that of later generations. The navy is very weak and most of its warships are antiques from the First World War.
Of course, you can't underestimate the Brazilian Navy just because he is an old antique. After all, the Brazilian Navy has closely kept up with the era of dreadnoughts. During World War I, the Brazilian Navy had two Minas Gerais-class battleships.
It's a pity that these two dreadnoughts were built by the British after being slightly modified based on the British second-type dreadnought Bellerophon class. They were deceived by the British. They were weakened versions in terms of armor and firepower. .
During World War II, these two battleships failed to catch the eyes of the Americans and were unwilling to take them to play with them. Therefore, they have always been responsible for Brazil's coastal defense and escort work.
Basically doing nothing.
