Fang Lang could clearly feel from the exchanges between several people that everyone understood what he meant, including the two people who seemed ignorant. In fact, the meaning hidden in the other party's nonsense was also very clear.
Fang Lang guessed that the reason why the two had this attitude was related to General Nero Mora. If Fang Lang's guess was correct, the two of them should have secretly gotten together with General Nero Mora.
This made Fang Lang look at General Nairo Mora with admiration. He was able to break his alliance so quickly and unite weaker forces to fight against more powerful forces.
Why Fang Lang judged that Colonel Dudley Ike of the Air Force Logistics Department and Lieutenant Colonel Armado Norton, Chief of the Training Division, would be representatives of weaker forces. The reason is also very simple. Just look at their current positions in the Air Force. I can understand.
Although the Air Force Logistics Department is also a well-oiled department, the largest oil-rich department of the Air Force is obviously the Equipment Department, because this department is responsible for following up on the current research and development plans for new fighter jets, and they are responsible for transferring R&D funds. .
From the fact that Chief of Equipment Colonel Bucky Jensen follows Air Force Chief of Staff Colonel Reinhard Gifford, it can be seen that the two are in the same camp.
The fact that Colonel Reinhard Gifford was able to win the position of Chief of Staff of the Air Force shows that the other party has a harder backing and stronger strength.
Of course, Fang Lang didn't care that the internal forces of the Air Force were divided into several factions. As long as everyone was confirmed to be friends, other things were unimportant.
The reason why I want to become friends with these people is so that I can influence the huge interest network behind them through them and open up connections between myself and several other important departments of the Ministry of National Defense.
With the existence of these people, I can achieve what I want through them without directly knowing the people behind them. As for how to get to know the big names behind them through these people later, it still needs a process.
This is a process of slowly gaining mutual trust. Fang Lang never thought that he would ask these people to introduce his network of connections to him over a meal. If that's the case, what's the point of their existence? Will I directly contact the people behind them and kick these people away?
This will not only make the people in front of them feel insecure and disgusted, but also make the people behind them wary. Therefore, Fang Lang really wants to establish real friendship with these middle- and high-level officers now, and wait until there is a relationship between everyone. Once you have enough trust, it will be a matter of course to get to know the big boss behind the other person.
Even if Fang Lang really establishes a connection with the big guys behind them through these people, it is impossible for Fang Lang to kick them away. Instead, he must maintain the relationship with them more carefully. Although these people are not real soldiers who can fight, Fang Lang Lang is sure that when the big bosses retreat, these guys will definitely become the heirs of the big bosses' rights. Making friends now can be considered as an early win over.
As he makes more and more friends in the military and fewer and fewer enemies, he can easily exert his influence on the Brazilian Defense Forces.
Of course, this is something to talk about later. Now that Fang Lang got the opinions of several people, he was naturally very satisfied, and he enthusiastically exchanged glasses with everyone. In the end, the meal was a feast for both the guests and the host, and he truly understood what it meant to be dissatisfied. Drunk and unable to return.
After dinner, Fang Lang arranged for everyone to stay at the Navy Club, and assigned a sexy, charming and considerate female escort to each room, who was responsible for ensuring everyone's sleep quality and giving everyone a full-body health care. project.
Early the next morning, when everyone was having breakfast in the restaurant, the relationship between the few people was obviously much closer. From this, it can be seen that Fang Lang understands what the four irons of life are.
These smart people also understood that Fang Lang's sudden invitation to people like them for dinner last night must have a purpose. Otherwise, it turned out that the other party was simply in contact with General Nairo Mora. Even when he went to the Air Force Ministry, he was not too close to them. This time However, through General Nairo Mora's relationship, he invited himself and others out, and also figured out what happened at the dinner table last night.
If Fang Lang didn't want to use him and others, they themselves didn't believe it.
After the one-stop service arranged by Fang Lang last night, Air Force Chief of Staff Colonel Reinhard Gifford, who was now very happy, seemed to have truly regarded Fang Lang as a good friend. Fang Lang, who was slowly drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks, said:
"General Fang, thank you for not looking down upon us as junior officers, treating us as true friends, and allowing us to enjoy a heavenly night. Please be sure to give us all a chance to express our gratitude."
After hearing this, several other people also nodded in agreement with expressions of gratitude. Naturally, no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Fang Lang was not surprised at all by this, he smiled and shook his head:
“We are all friends, so no matter how much you say thank you, this can be regarded as my gratitude to you on behalf of Fangyuan Group for taking care of our business!
I sincerely want to make friends with you, so don’t overthink it. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and they looked at each other in confusion. Why didn't they play according to the routine?
It stands to reason that as a commander, you have already made us a little wary of us junior officers by submitting to us. Now you tell us that you have nothing else to ask for. How can we believe this? There can't be any bigger conspiracy here!
In fact, this is also caused by Fang Lang's inertial thinking in his previous life. In the Western world's values, exchange of interests is a normal thing. There is no need to be secretive. You have already arranged activities for us, and we happily participated.
Next, everyone should openly and honestly state the purpose, give a clear answer as to whether it can be achieved, and directly explain the price required. But Fang Lang's current answer confused a few people.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Fang Lang seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but cursed inwardly that his Chinese character that likes to beat around the bush has not changed yet, and he must always pay attention to it in the future.
Although General Nairo Mora on the side didn't know what Fang Lang's purpose was in finding these people, he definitely didn't mean to make friends with everyone as Fang Lang said. Maybe there were some words that Fang Lang might not understand. It's too easy to talk, or maybe you don't understand the behavior of these guys, so the current embarrassing scene occurred.
As a middleman, he naturally has the obligation to stand up and bridge the gap.
"General Fang, don't be too polite. You are the chief. You entertained everyone so warmly last night. If everyone can't give you something in return, it will make everyone uneasy.
Therefore, even if you don't need anyone's help, you must think carefully about whether there is anything that can give you a chance to express yourself. Only by giving to each other can we become true friends. What do you think? "
Fang Lang's original plan was to have Blackwell visit these guys one by one as his friend after everyone returned. After the exchange last night, these guys would naturally understand what he meant.
And with Blackwell coming forward to reach an agreement with these people, everyone can safely and boldly accept the benefits and negotiate the price without having to worry about their own status.
But now it seems that I have overcomplicated the problem. These people don't like to go around and do things in a roundabout way. They prefer to go straight and make it clear face to face. Fang Lang, who understood this, could only smile bitterly and shake his head:
"Okay! It seems that if I don't find something for everyone to do, everyone will feel bad. But I really have nothing to do and I need your help.
However, I have a good brother who I met when I was a second lieutenant, named Blackwell. He is now a major officer in the Brazilian Intelligence Agency. Their director now wants to leave the Intelligence Agency and find a job at the General Staff. This matter I wonder if you can help? "
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. If you need help, just ask them for help, but you are afraid that you will really meet someone who wants nothing.
"Haha... Look what General Fang said, isn't your brother our brother? If our brother needs help, of course we are duty-bound.
I don’t know if their director has said where he wants to be transferred to the general staff. When we go back, we will see if we can find a way to help him move around. "
Air Force Chief of Staff Colonel Reinhard Gifford accepted the commission without hesitation. In his opinion, this matter is not difficult at all. The intelligence director is a lieutenant colonel, one level lower than him. As long as he does not want to jump to some important power department, it is not difficult to transfer.
Colonel Dudley Ike from the Air Force Logistics Department rolled his eyes and saw Fang Lang's true intention, and said with a smile on his face:
"General Fang, since this Blackwell brother is your brother, he is naturally our brother. The fact that he can stand up and fight for his commander's affairs shows that he is a person worth getting along with.
We can't let such a person suffer. Do you think we should help him do some exercise? "
Colonel Ike's words immediately stunned everyone present, and they suddenly realized that General Fang's true purpose was here!
Fang Lang also smiled when he heard this and did not deny what Colonel Ike said.
"Alas! To be honest, this brother of mine is also a deadbeat. I won't tell you what the situation of the Intelligence Bureau is now, but everyone must know it very well. His superiors can't wait to get out of this quagmire.
But he was indifferent, thinking only about continuing to struggle in this quagmire, saying that he was reluctant to let go of his brothers and must let the Intelligence Bureau continue to operate, alas! I don't even know what to say about him. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone here understood instantly, which means that the Blackwell brothers have taken a fancy to the position of intelligence chief! As for whether the current intelligence chief really wants to be transferred to the General Staff, or whether he needs to make way for the Blackwell brothers, no one is interested.
As long as they understood that Fang Lang's invitation to them was not nothing, they would feel at ease.
Chief of Staff Colonel Reinhard Gifford only pondered for a moment before speaking directly:
"Brothers, since Blackwell is the brother of General Fang, he is naturally our brother. If he wants to help his old commander mount his horse, we must lend a helping hand. As far as I know, a director of the General Staff Office seems to have arrived. Retirement age, I will go to the General Staff today to walk around and try to help him win this position, what do you think?"
It seemed that Colonel Gifford was asking for other people's opinions, but Fang Lang knew that the words were meant for him. He took a sip of soy milk carelessly, then nodded and said:
"Thank you Colonel Gifford for your help. I heard that Mr. Director has prepared fifty thousand US dollars in cash to leave the quagmire of the Intelligence Agency. I don't know if this is enough for hard work."
Fang Lang, who had changed his mind, stopped being secretive and directly started to make a showdown offer. Fifty thousand dollars was exchanged for an unimportant director position in the General Staff Department. He didn't know if it was too high or too low.
Colonel Reinhard Gifford's eyes twitched when he heard this, and he glanced at the three people except General Nairo Mora inadvertently. When he saw a few people, they also looked at him. The eyes of several people met in the air, and there was a burst of sparks and lightning.
"Haha... General Fang is joking. This position is not important. Otherwise, thirty thousand dollars would be more than enough."
Fang Lang didn't know whether the price was high or low. Since Colonel Gifford said it was only thirty thousand, he didn't care. He smiled, picked up the tablecloth on the table, wiped his hands and said:
"I will convince Blackwell to find a way to come up with one hundred thousand dollars and give it to you. His affairs will be left to you. As long as they can do what they want, no matter how much you spend, the rest will be yours!"
As soon as these words came out, several people's faces clearly showed joy. Considering the current situation of the Intelligence Bureau, the cost required to send Blackwell to the position of director was obviously very low. Transferring their director to the General Staff Headquarters cost them 30,000 yuan. They all made money, and now Fang Lang directly offered a sky-high price of 100,000 US dollars. Of course they made a lot of money.
There was no reason to refuse, so after several people looked at each other, Colonel Reinhard Gifford laughed heartily.
"General Fang, you are indeed a good brother. This is simply giving us money. We will do our best to help the Blackwell brothers fulfill their wishes."
Several other people also had smiles on their faces, and they were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth. If they hadn't prepared drinks during breakfast time, they would have had a good drink with Fang Lang.
General Nairo Mora on the side also showed a slight smile when he saw that Fang Lang's goal was achieved. Although he felt that there was no need to spend so much money to give these people, since Fang Lang decided, he Nor will he stand up and express his opposition.
In fact, Fang Lang knew very well that the price of one hundred thousand dollars to achieve this goal was definitely on the high side, which might make these guys have bad ideas, but he didn't care. It's not that he didn't care about money, but he wasn't afraid. The other person has bad thoughts.
Now he needs the connections behind these people to pave the way for him. If the other party really takes advantage of their situation, he will not fall out immediately. When he completely controls the Intelligence Bureau, and at the same time, he has more of his own people in the army, he will sooner or later. Reaching out to the General Staff.
If these people are interested in him, he can continue to maintain a friendship with them. If someone thinks that he is easy to bully and has evil intentions towards him, he will become his best target to scare the monkeys.
After killing these chickens, it would be convenient for him to send his own men to the General Staff Headquarters to take over the opponent's position.
