Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat
Chapter 278: Tacit understanding
What Fang Lang didn't know was that when he was discussing the establishment of a military contracting company with General Clark, there was a man in the naval base who was as restless as an ant on a hot pot.
Even participating in the training of the Marine Corps seemed absent-minded, and it was hard to survive until the lunch break.
After Colonel Waldo Gramma asked for leave from the American chief instructor in charge of training, he hurriedly arrived at the headquarters building of the naval base.
"Boss, Colonel Waldo Gramma of the Marine Corps wants to see you."
Qi Qingshan knocked on Fang Lang's office door, interrupting the discussion between Fang Lang and General Clark that lasted all morning.
When he heard that Colonel Valdo Gramma was visiting, Fang Lang curled up his lips as he still didn't understand what was going on.
It seems that Miss Yin Anna Sidi is really impatient!
After knowing Mr. Colonel’s address, I immediately contacted Mr. Colonel.
When General Clark saw Fang Lang's expression, he understood that this little fox was plotting against someone else again.
He smiled and shook his head, stood up and said goodbye to Fang Lang.
"I will fly back to the United States tomorrow and start implementing the plan we discussed."
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"I will send a telegram to Wan Chongxin of Universal Group later and ask him to cooperate with you to complete the establishment of the company as soon as possible.
Regarding the big shots in the Ministry of National Defense, you have to worry about it.
I will also send a telegram to Mr. Morgan and explain to him that if you need help, you can go to him for help."
General Clark nodded seriously, and when he walked out of the office, he turned around and saluted Fang Lang.
Colonel Waldo Gramma knew the identity of General Clark. He was very shocked when he saw a U.S. Army major general saluting Fang Lang. He quickly put himself in order and began to arrange his clothes.
When Qi Qingshan informed him that he could go in, he cautiously opened the door of Fang Lang's office with anxiety.
After entering the room, Colonel Waldo Gramma saw Fang Lang standing at the door waiting for him.
He quickly stood at attention and saluted:
"Good afternoon, General!"
Fang Lang seemed very enthusiastic this time. After casually returning a military salute, he pointed to the sofa in the reception area and said:
"Colonel Gramma, come in quickly and sit here.
I'm really sorry. I've been so busy with work during this period that I haven't had the chance to have a good chat with you.
This time I went to the United States again, and I really couldn’t get away from it.”
This time, Colonel Waldo Gramma seemed very reserved, not at all as casual as when he first entered Fang Lang's office.
After hearing Fang Lang's words, he stood at attention and said:
"Your Excellency, General, is busy with official duties, and it is your subordinates who are causing you trouble!"
When Fang Lang heard him saying that he was causing trouble for himself, he smiled and did not answer, but changed the subject and said:
"Yesterday I talked with Secretary of the Navy General Crook about the training of the Marine Corps. Mr. Secretary heard that I arranged for Colonel Gramma to participate in the basic training of the Marine Corps.
They severely criticized me, thinking that this was a distrust of a veteran.
As a colonel, you should not go through some basic training with ordinary soldiers and not even have time to go home to spend time with your family. You really shouldn't.
I also want to make a profound self-examination here and apologize to Mr. Colonel.
So be it! Starting this afternoon, Mr. Colonel will no longer participate in the basic training of the Marine Corps.
I have arranged an office for you on the second floor of the headquarters. From now on, Mr. Colonel will work in the office.
What do you think?"
Colonel Waldo Gramma heard Fang Lang say that he didn't have time to spend with his family, and his heart skipped a beat. How could he not let himself participate in training?
Isn’t this just a reminder to be careful about letting your family know about the existence of Miss Yin Anna Sidi?
He quickly stood up and said:
"Your Excellency, General, you are serious.
Participating in the basic training of the Marine Corps is voluntary for subordinates.
I didn’t expect that you would be misunderstood by General Crook. It is really my subordinate’s mistake. Please rest assured that I will explain it clearly to General Crook in person.”
Fang Lang smiled and shook his head. Now that I hold your handle in my hand, it is no longer important whether you participate in Marine Corps training or not.
The so-called accusation made by General Crook was nothing more than Fang Lang's casual remarks.
General Crook doesn't care how your life, Colonel Waldo Gramma, is in the Navy!
As long as this Marine Corps is not controlled by you, a person from the Army.
"No need to explain. I have already explained it clearly to General Crook.
Mr. Colonel is not too young to continue participating in the basic training of the Marine Corps.
Working in an office can be a bit more relaxing, right?
As for the training of the Marine Corps, just let the following battalion commanders take care of it themselves."
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Colonel Waldo Gramma's mouth turned bitter, understanding the meaning of Fang Lang's words.
The training is left to the battalion commander below. As a brigade commander, don’t worry too much.
Since the battalion commander below is responsible for training, of course the battalion commander is responsible for daily management.
You just need to sit on it, read documents and drink coffee.
Think about yourself as the head of the main army force. When the major general in front of you was still a soldier, you were already a lieutenant colonel.
But now?
Others are major generals and are their immediate superiors.
I was kicked to work as someone else’s subordinate.
Originally, I wanted to use my status as an old commander to seize control of the Marine Corps and use the navy's military expenditures to develop an armored force of my own.
Let your father-in-law look at you with admiration.
Unexpectedly, he got off to a bad start. As soon as he came to the Marine Corps, he was given a hard lesson by someone to let him know why the sea is so blue.
I have finally adapted to the training rhythm of the Marine Corps, and I want to establish an image in the Marine Corps of sharing weal and woe.
He was called back to sit in the office again, which made him realize how deep the sea water is.
The most important thing was that a telegram from the United States made him discover that his little secret was in the hands of the young commander in front of him.
This is the secret that can make you lose everything!
I had to humbly accept all the arrangements made by the superior in front of me.
Otherwise, he believed that he would be able to taste how bitter the sea water was.
"Yes, sir, I obey orders!"
Colonel Waldo Gramma, unable to resist, finally chose to accept the path arranged for him by Fang Lang.
In just a few words, both parties reached a tacit agreement.
Some things don’t need to be said clearly.
Colonel Waldo Gramma knew what he should do in the future. Regarding the Marine Corps, he only needed to be the nominal commander-in-chief.
The actual power is delegated to the five subordinate battalion commanders, which means that the power of the Marine Corps is firmly in Fang Lang's hands.
He had to admire the skill of the commander in front of him who was only in his early twenties.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to admit defeat.
Fang Lang smiled with satisfaction when he heard Colonel Waldo Gramma express his obedience to his orders.
He patted the other party on the shoulder and said:
"What Mr. Colonel told me last time, regarding the use of armored forces, I think is very insightful.
Although our Ministry of Navy's military expenditures are currently tight, we are unable to purchase armored vehicles to form an armored force.
However, we must also take precautions and familiarize ourselves with and study in advance the strategies and tactics of the amphibious landing operations of the Marine Corps armored forces.
I would like to leave this job to Colonel Waldo Gramma.
I wonder if Mr. Colonel is willing?"
Colonel Waldo Gramma was obviously taken aback. Aren't you going to make yourself a puppet?
Why do you feel that you are knowledgeable about the use of armored forces and want to study amphibious landing tactics?
I can study amphibious tactics, but I have no money to buy armored vehicles, so how can I study them?
Rely on fantasy?
Colonel Waldo Gramma, who didn't quite understand what Fang Lang meant, looked at Fang Lang hesitantly.
But when Fang Lang asked him if he was willing, he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Of course I am willing. I will resolutely carry out your orders, General."
Although he didn't know what Fang Lang meant, he knew that no matter what work Fang Lang arranged for him, he could only do it.
Because he didn't have the confidence to refuse Fang Lang's order.
He couldn't bear the consequences of rejecting Fang Lang.
Seeing Colonel Waldo Gramma's expression, Fang Lang smiled but did not reveal it.
Directly:
"Mr. Colonel, don't worry. Although we don't have armored forces yet, we have two tank landing ships in our fleet donated by the Americans.
What I mean is that I want to hand over the command of the two tank landing ships to Colonel Waldo Granma.
With these two tank landing ships, Mr. Colonel can also make some mistakes when studying the amphibious landing operations of armored forces.
What do you think, Mr. Colonel?"
For Colonel Waldo Gramma, who was ready to be a puppet, this was an unexpected surprise.
As an Army member, he actually doesn’t know what kind of ship a tank landing ship is.
But having troops you can command is completely different from sitting on the bench.
What's more, this ship is called a tank landing ship, and it must be related to tank landing operations. What more can you ask for!
Therefore, at this moment, Colonel Waldo Gramma felt that Fang Lang in front of him was no longer so scary.
For Fang Lang, since he cannot have armored force in his fleet for the time being, the two tank landing ships are of no value.
Instead of sitting in the sea every day waiting for him to rust, it is better to recycle the waste and give Colonel Waldo Gramma a little hope.
As for Colonel Waldo Gramma’s two tank landing ships, will they pose any threat to the other waves?
Fang Lang is not worried at all. First of all, the two warships are all his people.
You can order them and obey Colonel Waldo Gramma's orders.
But if Mr. Colonel wanted to harm himself, he would probably be overthrown by the crew.
Even if Colonel Waldo Gramma could really fully control these two landing ships, he would not be able to pose any threat to the other waves.
Because the tank landing ships of this period and the amphibious assault ships of later generations are two completely different concepts.
The current tank landing ship is actually a transport ship used to transport tanks to land.
The combat effectiveness is almost nonexistent.
Colonel Waldo Gramma stood up and saluted with some excitement:
"Sir, thank you for your trust, General."
Looking at the somewhat excited Colonel Waldo Gramma, Fang Lang thought to himself, when you see the two tank landing ships, just don't jump up and curse.
In fact, Fang Lang did not kill him quickly. After giving him a slap, he still gave him a sweet date.
After all, he still needs the other party to remain in the position of commander of the amphibious marines and help his own people occupy the position first.
Fang Lang returned the favor and patted Colonel Waldo Gramma's arm to show encouragement.
Mr. Colonel knew that it was time for him to leave, so he stood up and asked Fang Lang to resign.
Fang Lang nodded, and just when Colonel Waldo Gramma was about to walk out of the office door, he suddenly thought of something and said:
"By the way, I have prepared a villa in the seaside villa area of Natal City. I will send you the key today."
