Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Fang Lang did not expect that the bill that was discussed with the National League in Sao Paulo last time would be submitted to the Legislative Council for discussion so soon.

At the beginning, we only talked about some general directions, but we haven’t started discussing the specific details yet!

When did these guys become so efficient? No wonder President Dutra summoned him late at night.

Anyone who is not stupid can see the relationship between this method and themselves.

It seems that the other party is either interested in his huge influence on the National League and the Social Democratic Party, and wants to come over and make friends.

After all, it is not an easy matter for a policy bill that specifically targets Chinese immigrants to obtain a support rate of 65% in a legislative assembly with no Chinese at all.

This shows that Fangyuan Group has gained huge political influence in Brazil through its rapid development in the economic field in the past two years.

Fang Lang's identity is no longer a simple naval general, but also a representative of a capital consortium with strong influence on Brazilian politics.

Fang Lang always warmly welcomes people who want to be friends with him.

What’s more, the other party is the president of Brazil.

Or you just want to express dissatisfaction with your own actions.

But since the other party told me that he voted in favor, he has already expressed his attitude.

It means that you are not looking for trouble, and you should be more likely to make friends.

"Thank you Mr. President for recognizing us Chinese.

I would also like to thank the Legislative Council for its strong support for our Chinese immigrants.

I believe that with such a policy and your support, we Chinese will be able to quickly integrate into Brazilian life and contribute to Brazil's prosperity."

Now Fang Lang has also seen big scenes. Regardless of whether President Dutra's words are true or false, he must show an attitude.

So it was just a diplomatic rhetoric thrown out.

President Dutra laughed after hearing Fang Lang's words. After taking a sip of coffee, he said seriously:

"I welcome the Chinese people's ability to integrate into Brazil.

Moreover, I also hope to see more Chinese people stand up and bravely make their voices heard.

You must know that Brazil is a democratic country, and freedom and equality have always been our unremitting pursuit.

Of course, there are still many residual feudal ideas in Brazil today.

We must completely eradicate these backward, ignorant and outdated diseases."

Fang Lang listened to Mr. President's words while analyzing the meaning behind this sentence.

We haven’t seen each other for a while. President Dutra has obviously begun to adapt to his role as a politician, and his speech is no longer as straightforward as before.

At least Fang Lang needs to analyze his words now to roughly understand what the other party wants to express.

A democratic country must eradicate the remnants of feudalism. Is this why the President summoned himself today?

But what’s the point of telling me this, I’m just a rear admiral.

Isn’t it about reforming the military?

I shouldn’t even discuss reform with myself!

For a moment, Fang Lang couldn't figure out what President Dutra wanted to express, so he could only follow Mr. President's words:

"Mr. President is right, we must fight against backward and ignorant feudal ideas.

As a naval general, his subordinates must resolutely obey the orders of Mr. President."

After hearing what Fang Lang said, President Dutra smiled and said:

"Fang, don't get me wrong, this is not a military operation.

Let me tell you this!

Our current presidential system in Brazil is not in line with the image of our Brazilian democratic country.

You also travel to the United States frequently, so you should know what the American presidential system is like.

That is a model of democracy, so I want to learn from the advanced political system of the United States.

Limit the power of the president to avoid the recurrence of dictators who abuse their power."

Fang Lang was a little stunned by President Dutra's words. What do you mean?

Do you think you have too much power and want to decentralize it?

Learn from the United States? How thoroughly have you been brainwashed by the United States?

No wonder Americans strongly support you.

However, Fang Lang also had to admire President Dutra. After all, there are not many people who can take the initiative to weaken their own power.

But you and I, the navy, can’t talk about these things!

Wait, this is because I want to use my influence on the National League and the Social Democratic Party to promote the passage of this law.

There’s no need to push for this kind of thing!

Who would say no to a president who wants to decentralize power?

If the president has less power, doesn’t everyone have more power?

Unless he wants to be this authoritarian president.

Soon Fang Lang understood where the resistance was.

President Vargas, who is preparing to participate in the next presidential election, and the Labor Party he formed.

Fang Lang never thought that one day the president would seek his own support in order to limit the president's power.

This is really unexpected.

As a capitalist, Brazil's emerging financial groups still welcome the American political system.

After all, the political system is designed to protect capitalists!

Only a fool would refuse!

Of course, you still need to ask clearly about the details.

Next, the two had a frank discussion about Brazil's future political system.

Fang Lang highly praised President Dutra for voluntarily giving up his power and resolutely implementing the political system of separation of powers.

Mr. President also spoke highly of Mr. Rear Admiral’s foresight.

The talks were held in a sincere and friendly atmosphere.

Both parties quickly reached an agreement.

Historically, President Dutra did promulgate a new constitution in September 1946.

Although the presidency is still the main institution, this position is subject to many restrictions so that future leaders cannot abuse their power. The new constitution established the system of three branches of government to ensure the independence and freedom of Congress in electing members.

That night, the discussion between the two parties took too long, and Fang Lang had no choice but to live in the manor together under the arrangement of Mayor Ewald Dursley.

Early the next morning, Fang Lang had breakfast with President Dutra before leaving the manor.

It wasn't until he left that President Dutra said apologetically:

"Fang, regarding your attack in Sao Paulo, there is still no investigation result. I'm sorry!"

Fang Lang knew what Dutra meant, and he was obviously apologizing for the self-defeating incident after arranging for the entry of the Ministry of Justice.

But President Dutra cannot actually be blamed for this incident.

To say that President Dutra arranged for the Ministry of Justice to intervene in the investigation, it must be out of good intentions.

After all, he couldn't be the murderer. If he wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't have arranged such a method.

"Mr. President, this matter is none of your business.

We are not professional in the investigation, so we should give you more time. I believe the truth will come out sooner or later."

Fang Lang already knew in his heart that this guy was not that easy to break.

The investigation yielded no results, which was what Fang Lang expected.

Rather than trusting other people's investigations, it is better to investigate it himself, so he is ready to take time to return to Sao Paulo to investigate.

President Dutra didn't see any problem from Fang Lang's expression, and thought that Fang Lang had already made his own guess about who the murderer was.

He took Fang Lang's hand, squeezed it, and said with a serious expression:

"If you have a target of suspicion in your mind, don't hide it. You can tell the investigators to give them another direction to investigate."

Feeling the strength of Mr. President's hand, Fang Lang's heart moved and he smiled and said:

"I was ambushed once in the United States by the Japanese using similar methods.

But I managed to avoid it.

But this time there is too little evidence and I really can’t judge.”

"What, such a big thing has happened.

Why didn’t I hear the report from the Ministry of National Defense?"

Dutra didn't expect that he would ask another question.

Fang Lang smiled and shook his head:

"My friends discovered the clues about that incident in advance, so the US FBI deliberately set up a trap to lure the enemy out without causing any harm to me.

Therefore, I did not report this matter."

"This is not okay, Major General Fang. You are an important officer of our Brazilian Navy. Your safety is related to our Brazilian national defense and security. There must be no negligence.

Now that you are a general, I will recommend to the Ministry of National Defense to raise your security level by one level and your security organization to the company level.

Only in this way can your travel safety be guaranteed.

It’s not enough for these damn Japanese to create the violent tragedy that stormed the presidential palace in Brazil.

How dare you attack our senior officers of the Brazilian Navy.

I think we need to classify the Japanese as the most unpopular group of people in Brazil."

President Dutra immediately put forward his opinions. It can be seen from this that the president is indeed very concerned about Fang Lang's safety. This is definitely not a concern for a military general.

After all, it is natural to serve as a soldier and to fight for wealth. How can you pursue safety?

What Mr. President is definitely concerned about is the political influence of the Fangyuan Group behind Fang Lang.

After last night's discussion, the two have reached an agreement, and they are now considered political allies. Of course, the president does not want to support his political allies and put his life safety at risk.

Listing the Japanese as the most unpopular group of people is, at best, a cheap propaganda tool for Dutra. Should this sentence be written into the constitution?

Of course, Fang Lang was very happy to be able to raise Fang Lang's security level by one level and directly upgrade the security platoon to a security company.

These are the bodyguards assigned to them by the Brazilian government. Of course, the more the better.

But this was not enough. Fang Lang rolled his eyes and said to Mr. President with a smile:

"Thank you Mr. President for your concern. I am a soldier. I am not nervous about my personal safety now.

However, I am still very worried about the safety of my family.

After all, this time I was attacked in the United States. According to the interrogation records of the US FBI, the Japanese suspected that I had attacked some of their temples when I was an occupying force in Japan.

This is simply nonsense. I suspect they did it because I took over the artillery factory from the American occupying forces.

They didn't dare to cause trouble for the Americans, so they blamed me."

"This artillery factory is now producing artillery for Brazil, so be careful.

Fangyuan Group is an indispensable part of our defense industry. The safety of your family is also related to our Brazilian defense security.

See if it is necessary for us to send guard troops to Fangyuan Group."

After President Dutra heard Fang Lang's words, he understood that Fang Lang had a request to make.

But I’m not sure what he wants, so I can only test it out.

After hearing Dutra's words, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your concern. Fangyuan Group is a private enterprise. If the country needs to send guard troops, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.

My idea is to hope that the government can approve the establishment of a private force company by Fangyuan Group to build its own security team to protect the safety of the factory and my family."
