Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

When General Clark saw that his wife had invited Fang Lang to have dinner at home, he knew that there would be no way for Fang Lang to leave directly today.

He didn't believe that Fang Lang really just came here to thank his wife for helping him.

After seeing his wife calling Sophia, he sat directly next to Fang Lang and proactively said:

"I said brat, don't think I don't know what you want to do!"

Hearing General Clark's words, Fang Lang smiled inwardly, with a calm expression on his face, pretending to be full of doubts:

"Oh! Uncle, what else do you think I can do besides visiting you and your aunt!"

As a rear admiral, General Clark is not a reckless man, but his brain is very useful.

Seeing that Fang Lang obviously didn't want to take the initiative to speak, he simply pretended not to know anything and waited to see if Fang Lang could bear it.

"Okay! I believe you are here to visit my wife and me."

Then Fang Lang was having some quarrels with General Clark's house and the Clarks' parents, and Fang Lang seemed to be really just here to visit the couple.

It wasn't until Sophia came home from get off work in the afternoon that she saw the gift given to him by Fang Lang.

"Yeah!"

A scream almost shattered Fang Lang's eardrums.

"Fang, is this really for me?"

"Of course, I selected this specially for you from Switzerland. Do you like it?"

The watch that Fang Lang gave to Sophia was obviously more fashionable. People of different ages wear different styles of watches.

Sophia's slightly pink watch obviously suits her aesthetic perfectly.

There was another scream, and Sophia hugged Fang Lang without any image, and screamed at his face.

General Clark, who was watching on the sidelines, was furious and yelled:

"Sophia, what are you going to do?"

It's a pity that Sophia ignored General Clark's angry rebuke, hugged Fang Lang's arm and said:

"Fang, I really like this gift. Can you bring it for me?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Fang Lang.

Fang Lang never refuses a girl's request. He picked up his watch and said:

"Of course, it's my honor."

The performance of the two made General Clark so angry that he snatched the watch from Fang Lang's hand and stuffed it into Sophia's hand.

He grabbed Fang Lang's hand and said:

"You bastard, come with me."

Fang Lang had an innocent expression on his face, but he staggered and almost fell down when he was pulled by Clark.

Sophia looked at her father angrily and said:

"Daddy, what are you going to do?"

General Clark turned to Sophia with a smile on his face and said:

"It's okay. I remembered that there are some things I haven't told Fang Lang. We need to chat alone for a while. You go and help your mother prepare dinner first."

After saying that, he took Fang Lang and walked directly to the study. After closing the door with a "Peng" sound, he said to Fang Lang:

"You brat, I'm warning you not to have any ideas about my daughter."

Seeing General Clark's anxious and angry expression, Fang Lang smiled and looked at the furnishings in the study, found a chair and signaled to General Clark, could he sit on it?

General Clark glared at Fang Lang and sat on the chair behind the desk.

When he saw the other person sitting down, Fang Lang sat down opposite him without any courtesy. He saw a large copper ashtray on the desk and knew that smoking was allowed in the old guy's study.

He took out the cigar he carried with him, handed one to General Clark and said:

"Uncle, I don't quite understand if you have any prejudice against me. John and I are brothers, and Sophia is John's sister. I don't know who is older, Sophia or me.

However, I also treat him as my sister, why do you think I am up to no good!"

Clark stared at Fang Lang's expression, trying to tell the truth of Fang Lang's words from Fang Lang's face.

I felt a little relieved when I saw that Fang Lang didn't have anything unusual on his expression.

But then Fang Lang's words made General Clark angry again.

"However, you have to understand that I am a young man.

Sophia is a beautiful angel. What I can assure you is that I will never take the initiative to pursue Sophia.

However, if Sophia launches an offensive against me, I don’t think I can refuse.”

"You bastard, I know you came to the United States this time to purchase aircraft carriers, but haven't you already established a relationship?

According to me, General Nimitz has agreed to sell aircraft carriers to you, so why are you here?"

Clark didn't want Fang Lang to stay in his home anymore. He felt that he should get rid of him as soon as possible, so in the end, he couldn't hold back and started asking Fang Lang about his purpose.

It's a pity that Fang Lang didn't want to follow his lead, so he smiled and said:

"You have said something that General Nimitz has already agreed to, so why would I come to you, a retired rear admiral?"

Fang Lang emphasized the word "retirement".

Clark felt it was particularly harsh when he heard it, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

That’s right! I’ve already retired, what else is there to persevere in?

Seeing Fang Lang's indifferent attitude, he couldn't help but think that this kid really didn't just stop by for a visit!

It would be a bit embarrassing if this were really the case.

After clearing his throat, General Clark forced himself to calm down and said:

"It's best to be as you say!"

Originally, after Fang Lang said the word "retirement", he was worried that the old guy in front of him would not be able to accept the blow and lose his temper.

As a result, although it seems a little disappointed, the overall situation should be considered satisfactory.

Originally, Fang Lang was planning to contact General Nimitz in advance through General Clark's relationship, but for some reason, the old guy in front of him was always on guard against him, feeling a little out of touch.

Fang Lang was not prepared to get to know Nimitz through him, so he deliberately acted like he had no desires or desires.

Fang Lang, the father of such a brother, doesn’t want to use money to win over the other person to serve him.

But I saw the other person’s disappointment when they heard me talking about his retirement.

He couldn't help but jokingly said:

"What? It looks like you are still a little bit reluctant to retire!"

General Clark's retirement was a choice he had to make. If he had a choice, of course he would want to continue commanding the aircraft carrier battle group!

As a veteran, how many people are really willing to leave their high-ranking positions easily?

Seeing that Fang Lang's tone was obviously deliberately teasing, General Clark surprisingly did not refute.

He just gave Fang Lang a hard look and began to trim the cigar in his hand.

He looks like he is not familiar with you.

Fang Lang felt that this old man was a little cute now, and smiled and said:

"Well! It seems that I am really reluctant to give up!

How about, for John's sake, I hire you to be a consultant in my aircraft carrier fleet and continue to use your spare energy?"

Upon hearing what Fang Lang said, General Clark, who was still a little indifferent to Fang Lang, looked at Fang Lang and said:

"Isn't that why your kid came here today?"

Seeing General Clark's expression that you really have no good intentions, Fang Lang also said helplessly:

"Alas! You just think I said something wrong!

Good intentions are not rewarded. If I hadn’t just seen you looking a little disappointed because of the mention of retirement.

Do you think I will say this?

This is not my personal business. When the time comes, the Brazilian Navy will naturally discuss relevant matters with your U.S. Navy.

Although I have a say in these matters, I cannot decide them alone.

Just pretend I didn’t say anything."

Although Fang Lang looked like he had nothing to do with me, General Clark was moved in his heart.

Although he has retired, he still has many connections in the U.S. Navy.

Otherwise, he would not have known that Brazil was seeking to purchase an aircraft carrier from the Navy Ministry.

As early as the Pacific battlefield, General Clark had already discovered Fang Lang's interest in aircraft carriers.

Although the relationship between the United States and Brazil was good at that time, due to the consideration of the United States' interests in the Americas and the relationship between the Brazilian government and the United States at that time, it did not reach the current level.

Therefore, it was impossible for General Clark to privately teach Fang Lang relevant knowledge at that time.

However, today is different from the past. Today's Brazilian government is truly pro-American, and the U.S. government must show strong support for the pro-American government.

At the same time, with the end of the war, the U.S. military needs to be dismantled on a large scale, military expenditures will also be significantly reduced, and various equipment in the U.S. military will also need to be withdrawn from active service.

Considering these two aspects, the U.S. Congress also agreed to sell aircraft carriers to the Brazilian Navy.

Now that the aircraft carrier has agreed to be sold, the Brazilian Navy will definitely need to be trained. At this time, if Fang Lang can convince the Brazilian Navy to agree to allow him to enter the Brazilian aircraft carrier fleet as a consultant to provide guidance.

Then wouldn’t you be able to experience commanding a naval fleet again?

As for whether the fleet belongs to the U.S. Navy, what does it matter?

Thinking of this, General Clark could no longer control his desire to return to the aircraft carrier fleet.

"Um, are you serious about what you just said?"

When Fang Lang heard General Clark's coquettish tone, how could he not understand what he was thinking, and said directly without thinking:

"Idea? What idea? I have no idea!"

This made General Clark so angry that he kept cursing in his heart that this bastard was indeed not a good person.

Now I'm fine, I actually got a sore leg from being caught by him.

After clearing his throat, General Clark said calmly:

"Fang, let's not beat around the bush anymore. Just tell us your purpose! If I can help, I won't refuse."

This meaning has been expressed very clearly, and everyone can openly negotiate terms.

If you have any request, just say it and listen. If you can do it, then never refuse. Otherwise, there will be nothing you can do to help.

Unfortunately, by this time Fang Lang had already figured out that it would be better to go directly to the US Navy Vice Admiral Chambers, whom he met through Commodore Jackson in Italy, to get to know General Nimitz through the retired rear admiral in front of him.

p>

Sometimes a purely interest relationship or a purely political relationship is easier to handle and simpler than a purely emotional relationship.

Therefore, Fang Lang simply made it clear with General Clark:

"Uncle, if it's about work, I think I should go to General Chambers or Brigadier General Jackson. At least they haven't retired yet, right?

Or simply let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Department of the Navy directly contact relevant departments of the US government through normal working procedures. After all, I am just a small naval colonel.

The Brazilian Navy is not my private army, and I have no reason to use my personal relationships to benefit the Brazilian Navy, right?"
