General Moraes looked at Fang Lang, who was chatting and laughing with a group of naval officers not far away, and felt extremely satisfied.
The family took the initiative to build a modern shipyard in Brazil to pave the way for the Brazilian Navy's future independent shipbuilding. Now the shipyard has begun manufacturing ships.
Perhaps as long as the Ministry of the Navy can place an order with them, they can start building new warships for the Brazilian Navy.
Now I heard that an artillery factory invested and built by their family is about to be put into production. The key is that they are not resting on their laurels at the expense of the Americans.
It turned out to be very enterprising and wanted to optimize on the original basis, which is really commendable.
General Leta saw the satisfied smile on General Moraes' face, and he still didn't understand. Fang Lang had completely fallen into General Moraes' eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked around and whispered:
"When Colonel Fang went out to inspect the military industry on behalf of the military, he found several firearms designers in Germany. He wanted to build a small arms factory and research small arms.
However, because there is no production authorization for other light weapons, a lot of money may be invested in independent research in the early stage. "
"Oh! Did he ask you for support?"
When General Morais heard this, he immediately became interested and asked quickly.
"Ah! That's not true. His idea is to study it quietly first, and then expand the scale after the results are obtained."
General Leta did not dare to tell General Moraes that Fang Lang had allowed him to become a shareholder in his own name.
If you knew this, you might even think about where your money comes from! After all, his image has always been honest and upright.
It seems that he shouldn't have spoken about this matter. If he said this, General Moraes would definitely pay attention to this project. Then wouldn't he lose the opportunity to invest?
well! No consideration!
While General Leta was secretly regretting that he shouldn't have said more, General Morais moved in his heart and said:
"Go and tell him. After Mr. President's inauguration ceremony is over, ask him to come to me and say that I want to talk to him alone."
Upon hearing this, General Leta was shocked. General Morais is different now.
The original General Moraes was the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. With General Dutra elected as president, General Moraes was directly appointed as the Minister of Defense, taking advantage of General Moraes' original influence in the military community.
It can be said that General Moraes is now the number one person in the military world. Being able to get the attention of General Moraes is destined that Fang Lang's path in the military world will be smooth sailing.
This is different from President Dutra. After all, the Brazilian government and the military are complementary interventions. President Dutra's choice to serve as President of Brazil means giving up his military identity.
Once you give up your military identity, although you still have a certain influence in the military, it is far less influential than before.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think that it seemed that Fang Lang couldn't let Fang Lang buy his wife's paintings anymore! In just a few words, two sources of wealth were lost in succession, which made General Leta heartbroken.
But since General Morais asked him to pass the message, he could only respond in a low voice:
"Yes, Your Majesty General."
Seeing that General Morais had no other instructions, General Leta walked slowly towards Fang Lang and his group of naval officers. When everyone saw General Leta approaching, they all stood at attention and saluted.
Leta greeted everyone very cordially, which flattered everyone!
Because in the minds of most people, General Letta is an anomaly in the Brazilian army. He is rigid and serious. Even if he is given a favor, he will be severely punished and kicked out of the office.
If Fang Lang hears what everyone is saying, he will definitely give it to them without even giving a gift. Others will definitely kick you out of the office!
But General Letta greeted them with a smile on his face today, which made everyone unable to adapt.
When General Leta came to Fang Lang and whispered:
"Colonel Fang, don't leave until the ceremony is over. General Moraes wants to talk to you alone."
As soon as these words came out, not only Fang Lang was stunned, but the expressions of all the officers around him changed.
The look in Fang Lang's eyes began to look different.
Because everyone knows what this means.
Colonel Teach's eyes flashed with joy. It seemed that his brother's status in the upper circles of the Brazilian army was indeed extraordinary!
He knew that Fang Lang had a good relationship with General Letta, and he also knew that Fang Lang had a relationship with General Morais.
However, General Leta informed Fang Lang in public today that General Morais wanted to have a chat with Fang Lang alone.
This signal made everyone have to face up to Fang Lang's status in the Brazilian army again.
Even the faces of the two battleship captains and cruiser captains not far away were full of envy.
Although he didn't know the purpose of General Moraes' meeting with him alone, it was obviously not convenient to ask at this time.
All he could do was stand at attention and say:
"Yes, as ordered, General."
Noticing General Leta's meaningful eyes, Fang Lang's whole body went numb. What do you mean?
You don't say what others are looking for, but you look at me like this. How can I understand what you mean?
However, he can also understand that it is impossible for the other party to say anything to him in this kind of public place.
Soon, everyone gathered and, under the leadership of General Moraes, took a unified vehicle to the Capitol Building to attend the inauguration ceremony of President Dutra.
The entire ceremony was solemn and solemn, and those who came to see the inauguration ceremony were from the Brazilian military and political circles.
Fang Lang found many familiar faces among them, many of whom had come forward to discuss cooperation with Fang Lang in the automobile industry system.
When these people saw Fang Lang, they all stopped and nodded to Fang Lang, and Fang Lang had to nod in return.
The surrounding generals of the navy, army and air force looked askance at him, wondering why these politicians were familiar with a naval colonel.
Suddenly, Fang Lang's identity began to become confusing.
After finally finding his seat and sitting down, Fang Lang noticed that Colonel Teach beside him secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Fortunately, the atmosphere in the venue was relatively solemn and not suitable for conversation, so Fang Lang took shelter.
Otherwise, someone close to you might come over and ask directly.
The inauguration ceremony not only included Brazilian military and political dignitaries, but also representatives from other countries, but most of them were ambassadors from various countries, and Fang Lang didn't know anyone.
Perhaps for President Dutra and the new government officials, today is a busy and fulfilling day.
But for Fang Lang, it was just the opposite. The entire ceremony was cumbersome and boring. Mainly because Fang Lang was very bored sitting in the chair.
It took a whole morning for the ceremony to end.
This also heralds that Brazil has officially entered a new era, and the light of democracy has briefly descended on Brazil, the largest country in South America.
Historically, President Dutra did not have outstanding political achievements during his term in office, but he promulgated a new constitution in September 1946.
While the presidency remains the primary institution, the position is subject to many restrictions that prevent future leaders from abusing their power.
The new constitution established a three-power system of government to ensure the independence and freedom of Congress in electing members.
This is a political contribution.
Economically, because the war had just ended and the world economy was recovering rapidly, President Dutra supported the development of the private economy and foreign-funded enterprises, allowing Brazil's domestic economy to develop rapidly.
Of course, because the Brazilian government is relatively close to the U.S. government, it has inevitably become the U.S.'s raw material supply base and product dumping ground.
Of course, some outstanding companies also emerged in Brazil. During this period, Brazil's economic development entered a period of mini-prosperity.
In terms of the military, since President Dutra is a soldier, he has invested a lot in the military. Economic development has also provided funds for the development of armaments in the national treasury.
Therefore, the Brazilian army's equipment was updated very quickly during this period.
Moreover, President Dutra saw the shortcomings of the Brazilian army's insufficient military strength. During this period, the number of troops also began to slowly increase.
At the same time, this period was also a period of rapid population growth in Brazil. This period in history was the peak period of large-scale Japanese immigration to Brazil.
It's a pity that because of Fang Lang's saucy actions, Brazil now has a very bad impression of Japanese Americans, both from the government level and from the grassroots level.
Everyone is still carrying out vigorous liquidation activities against Japanese Americans. It is a rare opportunity to have government support to expropriate Japanese property.
Vargas, the former president, actually knew very well that these Japanese Americans might really be here to protect his safety as president. However, even if he knew it, it didn't mean that he could approve this behavior.
No matter from which aspect, a single ethnic group armed and surrounded the presidential palace is not acceptable to a politician.
In fact, Vargas would not have ended up like this if it hadn't been for the Japanese's saucy manipulation.
Therefore, in Vargas's mind, he hates Japanese Americans no less than Fang Lang.
Judging from the above situations, Fang Lang actually does not have to worry about the Japanese returning to Brazil when they have the opportunity.
However, Fang Lang did not dare to take it lightly. After all, there were many people in Japan who could not survive. Maybe someone would take a boat and travel thousands of miles to land in Brazil again based on their pre-war memories.
Therefore, Fang Lang ordered the warships at the Natal Naval Base to patrol the northern coast of Brazil from time to time. Once Japanese ships were discovered, they would be sent back.
If there is constant advice, let the submarine practice hunting tactics, or let the cargo ship hit a mine and sink in the Atlantic Ocean.
Anyway, during the war, there were said to be many torpedoes scattered in the Atlantic Ocean.
Let the Japanese enjoy it, and there is no waste.
Therefore, no Japanese ships were able to approach Brazil during this period.
On the contrary, through the Fangyuan Group Labor Service Company, there is indeed an endless stream of ships immigrating to Brazil from their hometown.
Especially when Chang Kaishen started to take action, many people in his hometown who wanted to avoid the war took the initiative to sign up with labor service companies to work in Brazil.
Let the Hongmen gang in my hometown collect money while sitting there, and they are all very happy.
As long as they can get a miracle drug like penicillin, the government officials don't care about the life and death of the people, and each one of them provides various conveniences for the immigration activities of the labor service companies.
Some officials even packaged the prisoners in their cells and sent them to the immigration ship of the labor service company in exchange for penicillin.
Of course, there were many political prisoners under strict guard by the Kuomintang, but they did not dare to do this.
But for a while, it was difficult to find petty thieves on the street.
