Sirio Reich was shocked when he heard Fang Lang's words. The boss opposite him was a well-known representative of the pro-American faction in Brazil. He did not expect that the other party would say such heartfelt words to him today.
What is even more surprising is that the representative of the pro-American faction in everyone's mind is actually a true Brazilian nationalist fighter. Deep down, he is more wary of Americans than most non-pro-American factions. Nothing less.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why this Chinese-American general was able to rise to prominence in Brazil and have his current status was precisely because of his pro-American status. He was able to obtain benefits from the United States that others could not. The basis for settling down in the Brazilian army.
But no one could have imagined that the other party had a completely opposite side deep in his heart.
The other party's words also made me feel an unprecedented excitement. Who is not a patriot? The object of his allegiance is a true patriot. Knowing this will make him feel more at ease when performing missions in the future without any scruples.
"Yes, boss, I understand what you are thinking!
But... I have a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. "
Fang Lang's words to Sirio Leitch this time were truly sincere. Of course, he also had his own selfish motives, just like the stars of later generations like to establish their personalities in front of the public.
At this moment, he also wanted to establish a Brazilian patriot persona in front of Sirio Reich, and even shouted the slogan "Brazil is the Brazil of Brazilians, not the Brazil of Americans."
You must know that once this slogan is known by Americans, your current image in the hearts of many Americans will be affected. When you want to interact with American politicians, it will not be as smooth as it is now.
However, he is not worried that Sirio Leitch will reveal it. After such a long time together, he knows very well what kind of person the other party is. This is why he is willing to push the other party to the top. Of course, he is a confidant in the intelligence agency. location reasons.
He was even sure that his statement today would make the other party more loyal, because he was convinced that the intelligence officer in front of him was also a patriot with a clear self-awareness.
Originally, the other party may be loyal to you because you can give the other party what they want and bring out the other party's talents. Now, when the other party sees common ideas and beliefs in you, this loyalty will be sublimated and become More rock solid.
Although the other party acted as calm as water, the flash in his eyes made Fang Lang understand that the other party must have been shaken deep in his heart.
"Oh! If you have any questions, tell me."
"If we follow your idea, we must remain secret and not be detected by others. But in this case, what we should control should be the Intelligence Division responsible for collecting intelligence, not the current Counterintelligence Division!
The Counterintelligence Division needs to arrest spies of hostile forces in the country. If necessary, it must carry out operations with great fanfare. Doesn't this conflict with your request for secrecy? "
Hearing Sirio Leitch's words, Fang Lang smiled slightly and slowly exhaled the cigar smoke in his mouth.
"Whoever said catching enemy spies must do it in the name of the Counterintelligence Division."
"Ah! If you don't arrest me in the name of the Counterintelligence Division, why should I arrest you?"
"Any reason can be used! Fighting, dangerous driving, molesting women, etc. Are you worried that you can't find a reason to arrest people on our territory?"
"You mean to ask the police to come out and arrest people, but spies are all professionally trained agents. With the combat effectiveness of the police, they may not be able to deal with professional agents!"
"What are you afraid of? Everyone has one head and two arms. Ordinary police can't do anything to them. Then train a professional armed police force. It just so happens that our Navy Special Tactics Research Group wants to carry out research on urban special operations tactics. I would like to Let’s see how powerful these agents can be.”
Silio Reich looked serious when he heard this. He had heard of what the Special Tactics Research Group did. If they were really responsible for training this professional urban warfare special force, he really didn't believe that any agents could or could do it. Escape from their hands.
As for whether the Brazilian police will establish such a force, he is not worried at all. After all, the Brazilian police now have the same boss as them.
"In this case, these agents will be asking for blessings."
"They are the last line of defense. Whether they can be used or not, it is best not to use them. Your counter-espionage work is best done at the front. Starting from the customs entry and exit, everyone entering Brazil must be screened, and all relevant personnel must be screened. Anyone suspected of being a spy must establish a file for investigation.
In addition to customs, gang organizations in various regions that have the ability to smuggle people in and out of Brazil must talk to their bosses to ensure that anyone with abnormality enters or exits Brazil, you must be aware of it, and make it clear to them that if someone enters or exits through their hands, People cause trouble in Brazil. If they fail to report it in advance, they will bear all the consequences. "
"Ah! If this is the case, we don't have so many manpower! The current funds of the Intelligence Bureau are simply not enough to support us in building such a large-scale intelligence network."
Silio Reich obviously did not expect that Fang Lang was planning to open such a large stall. Given the current situation of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, it simply did not have the ability to maintain the operation of such a huge system.
Fang Lang smiled leisurely when he heard this, tapped the cigar in his hand gently on the ashtray, flicked the ash into the ashtray, and then said with disdain:
"TMD, with the little funding of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, it is not easy to support the current people. How can it be able to support Brazil's counterintelligence work?
We only carry out work in their name. To the outside world, you are the Counterintelligence Division of the Intelligence Bureau. In fact, you are still the second section of our Logistics Division. As for your funding, of course I am responsible for it. "
Fang Lang knew very well in his heart how it was possible to build such a huge intelligence network with the funds of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency. As early as when he heard Blackwell explain to him the current situation of the Intelligence Agency, he was already thinking about what should be done. Done.
Besides, this situation is not an opportunity for him! The reason why he wants to keep them in the Second Section of the Logistics Department is to control the leadership of the team, and the Counterintelligence Department of the Intelligence Bureau is just a skin to the outside world.
In fact, those who actually join the Counterintelligence Division of the Intelligence Bureau are just those who work on the surface. Unless one day he can fully grasp the power of the Intelligence Bureau, otherwise, he will really destroy the things he has worked so hard to build if his brain is caught in the door. The intelligence network is handed over to the state.
As for the funding issue, he already has plans. First of all, it certainly won’t be out of his own pocket. Secondly, this financial source must also be under his complete control.
Of course Sirio Leitch is also very aware that the amount of money required to build such a large intelligence network is absolutely astronomical. Although he knew that Fang Lang's family was very wealthy, when he heard Fang Lang saying that he would be responsible for these funds, he quickly stopped him and said:
"Boss, I know you are a true patriot who is devoted to your country. But you have to know that the funds required to build such an intelligence network are astronomical. How can you bear this cost privately?
If it doesn't work, let's see if we can think of a solution elsewhere. "
"Haha... You kid is overthinking. Am I such a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private affairs? How can I use personal money to subsidize you? Now the allowances for our fleet officers and soldiers are already so heavy that I can hardly breathe.
Do not worry! I have already figured out how to operate it. When the time comes, I will open up several new sources of income, and I will also arrange some of your people to participate in it. You just need to be responsible for your cooperation. "
No one knows the importance of economic power better than Fang Lang. He must be completely in his own hands. Although he trusts Sirio Leitch, he will never give him a chance to test the other party. He knows very well that human nature cannot stand the test, not to mention that the other party is still an intelligence officer.
Silio Reich knew very well that the boss's re-opening of financial resources was actually giving up their family's economic interests to maintain the operation of this intelligence network.
After all, with Fang Lang's status and the strength of the Fang family, if there is any way for others to make a fortune, they will definitely be in his own hands. There is no need to support an intelligence network that contributes to the country.
This also deepened Silio Leitch's admiration for Fang Lang. This kind of sentiment for the country and the people was something that he himself did not possess.
"Yes, boss.
I understand what you are thinking. I will implement your ideas as soon as I get back. The Intelligence Bureau will let them continue to mess up!
I will take complete control of the Counterintelligence Division in the shortest possible time. At the same time, I will dig out enough talents from within the Intelligence Bureau who can be used by you to serve you in the Second Section of the Logistics Division.
Sooner or later, not even a fly in or out of Brazil can escape your eyes and ears. "
Fang Lang readily accepted Sirio Leitch's act of showing his loyalty, smiled with deep meaning in his eyes, patted the other person's arm and said:
"This is not enough. I hope that any disturbance in Brazil will not be hidden from my eyes and ears.
Even if it’s what color underwear the president’s wife wants to wear tomorrow, I have to know before she does, do you understand what I mean? "
Sirio Reich was stunned by Fang Lang's words. What color underwear the president's wife wore was intelligence. Of course, it would be easy to find out if they arranged for someone to sneak into the presidential palace, but what Fang Lang wanted was not to know. What color to wear, but to know what color to wear tomorrow.
This is no longer just information, but the ability to arrange what the other party will wear in advance. Of course, the boss doesn't really want to know what color the president's wife is wearing, but he is hinting that in the future his intelligence department will know the privacy of people like the president.
If ordinary people heard such words, they would think that Fang Lang was crazy, but obviously Sirio Leitch was not such a person. Instead of feeling ridiculous at all, he found this matter full of challenges. This means that Fang Lang's future investment in intelligence agencies will be huge, and his power will also be extremely huge.
He just thought for a moment and nodded without hesitation:
"Yes, boss! I won't let you down."
Fang Lang laughed loudly when he heard this, stood up from the Grand Master's chair, and patted Sirio Leitch on the shoulder.
"Very good, do a good job, I'm very optimistic about you!"
Seeing Fang Lang getting up, Sirio Leitch knew that it was time for him to leave, so he quickly got up and saluted Fang Lang with a military salute:
"Boss, I'll go down first."
In the next few days, Fang Lang hosted a banquet with several friends from the military and political circles at his home in Rio de Janeiro. It was not until the Rio de Janeiro treaty was officially signed and he learned that it was not much different from what he had remembered that he spat disdainfully to the north. After taking a sip, I gathered my mood and returned to Natal.
"Are you Elias Bianchi?"
Natal Naval Base, Base Commander's Office, Fang Lang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with interest. His brown skin and black hair showed that he was of Brazilian mixed race. He wore a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses on his face. It shows that he has received a good education.
"Yes, sir!"
This middle-aged man named Elias Bianchi stood in front of Fang Lang's desk and bowed politely to Fang Lang. From the other person's slightly restrained posture, it can be seen that he is at this moment. Although he appears calm, he must be very nervous deep down.
"Who are the people at home?"
"There are parents, a wife, and a pair of children."
Although he didn't know why Fang Lang asked about his family situation, Elias Bianchi couldn't help but smile happily when he mentioned his family, and said with a hint of satisfaction:
"Thanks to Mr. Fang, the eldest son is already in the fifth grade in the elementary school founded by the Fang family, and the younger daughter will also be in the first grade next year."
Seeing the other person's expression, Fang Lang smiled and nodded. He liked the man of the Gu family. He raised his finger and pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said:
"Sit down and talk!"
Elias Bianchi sat down obediently, with only half of his buttocks sitting, looking cautious.
"Thank you! Mr. Fang."
"I heard that you have done very well in the Fangyuan Group and have a very strong working ability. In two years, you have gone from an ordinary employee to the current branch president?"
"Yes, sir.
I am very grateful to Mr. Fang for giving me a platform to express myself. "
Elias Bianchi was very confident in Fang Lang's praise and was obviously very satisfied with his current achievements in such a short period of time.
"Very good. I like talented people. Do you know why I asked you to come to see me?"
Seeing the other party's appearance, Fang Lang smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.
"I don't know, but no matter what you need me to do, I will never let you down."
Seeing the confident look on this guy's face, Fang Lang couldn't help but laugh. He thought this guy was very interesting. People who didn't know better thought he was a self-made multi-millionaire! But this is okay, such people are easier to control.
Before I met him, I had someone check his details. Although this guy seemed a little overconfident, he was not arrogant. His colleagues in the company generally spoke highly of him and thought he was a good person. The working ability is quite outstanding.
Before joining the Development Bank of Brazil, I had been working in a small Brazilian bank and performed very well at work. However, because the bank leader was a white American, he looked down upon him, a mixed-race person, and never received the promotion he deserved.
Later, when the Bank of Development of Brazil was founded, he decisively chose to change jobs. After joining the Bank of Development of Brazil, he showed excellent work ability. With the rapid development of the bank's business, he quickly became a branch president from an ordinary employee. .
What really satisfied Fang Lang was that this guy was a person with a very strong sense of family. He never fooled around outside when he had time, and always went home early to accompany his family.
