When meeting Lieutenant General Chambers, although he agreed with his words on the surface, he constantly reminded himself not to act without authorization and to safeguard the interests of the United States. This made Fang Lang angry and funny.
He was angry because this was obviously Fang Lang's behavior, or he was dictating Brazil's foreign policy, even though Fang Lang knew that Brazil was basically consistent with the United States in terms of diplomacy.
But you are so blatantly asking us to abide by your rules, which makes Fang Lang feel very unhappy.
What's funny is that the other party's nervousness is entirely due to the other party's assumptions about his actions. He even suspects that because he immigrated from his hometown and has a close relationship with the Chang Kaishen government, he may have come to support the other party.
However, the other party's attitude also illustrates from the side what the United States' current foreign policy towards its hometown is. Chang Kaishen should have been locked up in a dark room by the US government for the time being.
Fang Lang, who had some concerns in his heart, seemed to be curious and tried:
"Oh! I thought the United States was fully supporting the Chang Kaishen regime now! It seems that the situation is a little different from what I imagined."
Lieutenant General Chambers breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Fang Lang's words. He heard the answer he wanted to hear from Fang Lang's words. Obviously Fang Lang did not deny the other party's purpose of coming to support Chang Kaishen, but this was obviously a decision made by the other party after making a wrong judgment on U.S. policy.
If you want to make adjustments now, it's still too late. Fortunately, after learning that the Brazilian Navy was coming to Hong Kong for a visit, they kept an eye on it and invited the Brazilian Navy to come to Japan for supplies.
Otherwise, if the other party walks straight into the conflict between the two parties, it will not end well.
Wanting to understand this, Lieutenant General Chambers coughed twice and said:
"Ahem...how do you put this? Of course we support the Chang Kaishen government, but the current situation is that they are really useless. The entire country's territory has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and their defeat has already been It's just a matter of time.
Unless we, the United States, directly send troops to intervene, everything is a foregone conclusion. But the current situation is that our focus is on Europe, and we have no extra energy to invest in Asia. "
Chambers' meaning did not exceed Fang Lang's expectation, but he had to show a hint of indignation and said:
"So, you are saying that the U.S. government intends to recognize this emerging regime in the Far East, is that right?"
Chambers had no doubts about Fang Lang's resentment. After all, we are all countries in the capitalist camp. Now the allies of the United States are following the United States and fighting against the Soviet Union. This little Brazilian brother heard that the United States planned to recognize this It is a country that is obviously the younger brother of the Soviet Union, so it is normal to feel dissatisfied.
"General Fang's situation is a bit complicated. If you look carefully, you will find that this emerging country in the Far East actually has a lot in common with Yugoslavia in Europe. Their victory was not achieved with the support of the Soviet Union.
Instead, they relied entirely on their own efforts to defeat powerful opponents. Such a regime will not be easily manipulated by others. This gives us a chance. Do you understand what I mean? "
“You mean this country will not side with the Soviet Union, but will instead seek help from the United States like Yugoslavia did?”
Lieutenant General Chambers looked at Fang Lang with an unbelievable expression on his face, and an enigmatic smile appeared on his face.
"Who can say for sure? As far as I know, the kind father of the Soviet Union was a guy with a strong desire for control. A Yugoslavia that didn't obey orders would have made him furious. If a little brother who had just become independent , and also showed a strong self-awareness, do you think he can accept it?"
After hearing what General Chambers said, Fang Lang did not speak immediately. He seemed to be carefully digesting the meaning of the other party's words. After a long while, Fang Lang slowly raised his head, looked at the other party and said:
"So, if this emerging regime is willing to lean towards the United States, are you ready to completely abandon the Chang Kaishen government?"
Lieutenant General Chambers did not expect that Fang Lang was still concerned about how the United States would deal with the Chang Kaishen regime. If anyone dared to say that there was no relationship between Fang Lang and the Chang Kaishen regime, even Chambers would not believe it. . It seems that the purpose of the other party's visit this time is to provide support to Chang Kaishen. There is no doubt about this.
After understanding this, General Chambers had a feeling of being in control, a pleasure that came from intellectual victory. It made him feel more comfortable than ever before.
"Of course not. Chang Kaishen is our staunch ally. Of course we will not leave the other party alone. As for how to coordinate the conflicts between the two parties in the end, we will also make an assessment based on the development of the situation."
At this time, Fang Lang had roughly figured out the current attitude of the US government, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. You have great ideas, but the world will not run according to the will of you Americans. With your little thoughts, even Even a young man like me can see through this, let alone the wily seniors back home.
The tricks you are playing now are all leftovers from the games played by your hometown thousands of years ago during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. In addition, you will reveal the situation you know to the other side when the time comes. Let’s see how you can steal the chicken and not lose. rice.
Although he was thinking this in his heart, the expression on Fang Lang's face showed a bit of unwillingness:
"But the other party is a Communist, and Mr. Chang Kaishen is a Zi. Those who share the same beliefs with us are our true friends. Isn't General Chambers not clear about this?"
Seeing Fang Lang still seemed a little unwilling, Lieutenant General Chambers was not angry. Instead, he nodded at Fang Lang with admiration and said:
"Haha...General Fang, you are indeed a very good friend.
You are right, only people with common beliefs can become true friends. Therefore, Mr. Chang Kaishen and we are real friends, and we all know this very well.
You have to know that the world is constantly changing, and the situation in the Far East will not remain static. When we have completely solved the troubles in Europe, we will naturally re-examine the situation in Asia. "
Lieutenant General Chambers's words undoubtedly clearly stated the true position of the United States. From beginning to end, the United States would never really allow such a huge non-capitalist member country to exist in the Far East.
After hearing this, Fang Lang unconsciously looked through the car window at his hometown in the distance. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The seniors in his hometown had obviously seen through the Yankees' plans long ago, so they endured the humiliation in the Soviet Union. Finally, the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty was signed with the Soviet Union.
And this also meant that the Yankees' little plan was destined to fail, and Fang Lang unconsciously felt a smile in his heart.
But his face showed a look of sudden realization:
"Oh! I see what you mean."
"Haha... It's good that General Fang understands. Then, next, please ask General Fang to restrain his fleet and not add unnecessary variables to the complicated situation in the Far East, okay?"
At this time, Fang Lang had to be thankful that when he made an appointment with a friend from his hometown, the other party did not agree to his suggestion to meet in Shanghai. If he really went to Shanghai to meet, even if he went by seaplane, he would definitely go there on a warship. It is necessary to drive into the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait.
During this special period, if he was noticed by the U.S. Navy because he led the fleet into the strait, and found that there were planes taking off from the warship to his hometown, this would arouse the suspicion of the Americans. Although he could find an excuse to excuse himself, this would obviously cause some unnecessary trouble.
"General Chambers, please rest assured. After my naval fleet takes a short rest in Japan, it will go directly south to the port city to avoid attracting the other party's attention."
"Haha... General Fang is indeed a good friend of ours. Thank you very much for your understanding. Tonight, we have prepared a welcome dinner for you at the Navy Headquarters. We hope you can attend it."
This so-called welcome dinner is a regular event and is not specially prepared for Fang Lang's arrival. No matter who comes here to visit, they must follow a standard procedure. Anyway, the military expenses are borne by the Japanese when they are stationed in Japan. Of course Fang Lang didn't feel bad about spending Japanese money.
"No problem, then I would like to thank General Chambers in advance for his warm hospitality."
Both of them achieved their goals, and after looking at each other in perfect understanding, they burst into laughter.
I just don't know if Lieutenant General Chambers will laugh as happily as he does now after knowing Fang Lang's true purpose.
Next, Fang Lang followed in Chambers' footsteps and visited and studied the powerful fleet of the U.S. Navy stationed in Japan. Fang Lang also invited U.S. Navy officers to visit and study on his warship.
However, because the warships he led over were actually American products, there was nothing worth visiting for the U.S. Navy, so everyone was just going through the motions.
However, it was the Keeling-class destroyer, the successor model of the Fletcher-class destroyer equipped by the U.S. Navy, that made Fang Lang a little interested and took a closer look. After all, as far as he knew, many of this warships were later modified into guided missile destroyers, and many of them were still serving in the navies of various countries into the 1980s and 1990s.
After a visit, Fang Lang felt that it was just average. It was not even as interesting as the first guided missile destroyer currently being designed and built by his own shipyard. After all, this guy was not a real guided missile destroyer in the end.
After the visit, Fang Lang led the officers of the Brazilian Navy to attend the welcome dinner prepared by the Americans. After Fang Lang delivered a passionate speech on behalf of the Brazilian Navy, he chatted for a long time alone with the main generals of the U.S. Navy.
After chatting for a long time, Fang Lang finally had the opportunity to sit down in a corner with his good brother John Clark, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Fang, you are doing really well now! You are already a major general with real power, and you have an aircraft carrier battle group under you, but I can only live in Japan in a ghost place."
Fang Lang held the wine glass and looked at John Clark, who had gained some weight, and joked with a smile:
"You are a dignified colonel of the U.S. Navy, in charge of the logistics work of the naval base. You are a top-notch job! I don't know how many people are eyeing your position! You are just messing around here complaining to me. Who can tell me? Believe it!"
Noticing Fang Lang's expression of concern for his figure, John Clark touched his slightly obvious belly with some embarrassment.
"Oh! It's just because I'm a fat employee that I have to hang around! If you really take everything seriously, it will be easy to offend people. Those guys below all have their own connections. Many times , I am just a signing tool person.”
Fang Lang looked this guy up and down playfully, but he didn't say "Guess I believe it or not" on his face. Fang Lang believed that the following people had their own connections, but Fang Lang didn't believe that John Clark was just a simple signing tool.
You must know that John Clark's father is an old man in the U.S. Navy. Although he only reached the rank of rear admiral, it does not mean that this guy has no connections in the U.S. Navy.
I remember that when I purchased an aircraft carrier from the United States, the other party directly contacted Admiral Nimitz of the Navy. If you say that such a guy does not have a strong network in the U.S. Navy, no one will believe him.
What's more, General Clark himself is a well-informed rear admiral. He was able to offer to retire during the major disarmament and exchange his son for the position of a colonel officer in the Navy Logistics Department. Then the position of a colonel officer in the Logistics Department is no longer a simple one. He has the rank of colonel and must have real power.
Therefore, Fang Lang didn't believe it at all, and the other party had no rights. You must know that when I received the warships, they were all given to me through this guy!
Perhaps John Clark was also a little uncomfortable with Fang Lang's eyes. He quickly looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention here, and then he showed a slightly embarrassed smile and said:
"Okay! Okay! This job is indeed very fat, but compared with a powerful officer like you, it's not enough!"
When Fang Lang heard this, he smiled, patted the other party's arm and said:
"Hehe... You kid and I are still playing tricks on each other. Be careful, I will send your father here to stay here and keep an eye on you every day so that you have no chance to go out and fool around again."
"ah!"
Only then did John Clark realize that his father was now the CEO of God's Whip Military Contracting Company under Fang Lang. The other party was his father's boss, and it was possible that he would be sent to Japan to supervise him.
If this really happens, my good days will come to an end.
You must know that Japan during this period was a paradise-like existence for all American soldiers. It was like wind and rain.
What's more, as a colonel who controls the logistics power of the naval base, there are naturally a lot of suppliers and contractors trying to please him in every possible way.
"Brother, we are brothers! You can't trick me like this!"
Seeing the other person's changing expression, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing.
"Tell me honestly how many Japanese girls you have accepted in the past two years."
During this period, there were Japanese comfort stations everywhere near the naval base. If you wanted to open a comfort station nearby, without the nod of John, the US military colonel in charge of logistics, it was difficult to say whether the business would be good or not. It was hard to say whether it could be opened.
As soon as John Clark heard what Fang Lang said, he knew that Fang Lang was joking with him. When men discuss women, it is really a friendly exchange. Besides, it is not like the two brothers have never gone out together to experience the services of Japanese girls.
