Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 288 The Minister’s Purpose

Hearing Fang Lang's affirmative reply, Major General Nero Mora was so excited that he couldn't help but pace back and forth in the tea room. He could no longer sit on a stool and drink tea peacefully.

"General Fang, this news is really shocking, how did you do it?

This is really amazing. Does this mean that your factory already has the ability to independently design aircraft?"

Seeing Major General Nairo Mora's excitement, Fang Lang smiled, poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of the other person's stool, raising his hand to signal the other person to drink tea.

"General, please don't get too excited. Let's sit down and chat over a drink.

Although, my factory has the ability to independently design aircraft.

However, it has not yet formed its own aircraft manufacturing capabilities, and related supporting parts manufacturing factories are still under construction.

Therefore, please don’t get too excited, General."

Major General Nairo Mora finally calmed down his excitement, returned to his seat, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp.

The way of unfinished talent:

"Fang, I think we should drink and celebrate at this time.

This is really exciting news."

Fang Lang, who had just had a drink during the meal, did not want to continue drinking with the other party. He was a person who wanted to maintain his health.

He smiled and said:

"Now is not the time to celebrate. If our aircraft factory successfully manufactures the first aircraft, I will definitely invite the General to have a drunken time with me."

"Haha... You don't need to invite me then. I will lead our Air Force brothers to get you drunk."

"No problem, I won't come back until I'm drunk."

Fang Lang felt relieved when he saw the happy look of Major General Nairo Mora. After all, independently developing an aircraft is not a small project. If no one wants the developed aircraft, it will really cost a lot of research funds.

The water is floating.

Judging from the other party's appearance, he definitely hopes that Brazil can use self-developed aircraft instead of outsourced aircraft. This is in line with Fang Lang's philosophy.

This made Fang Lang pay more attention to his friendship with Major General Nairo Mora.

Major General Nairo Mora obviously had the same idea as Fang Lang. He hoped that Fang Lang could invest heavily in setting up an aircraft manufacturing factory in Brazil.

He expresses his admiration from the bottom of his heart, and also wants to further consolidate the relationship between the two.

I also feel puzzled that Fang Lang obviously has the ability to design aircraft, but started in the modification business.

"Fang, since you have such an excellent designer, why don't you just start aircraft design and manufacturing.

Instead, we are undertaking the modification business of some transport aircraft!

If you encounter any difficulties, if you need help, please speak to me directly. As long as I can do it, I will spare no effort to help you complete it."

Fang Lang can feel the sincerity of the other party from his words.

He opened a box of cigars beside the tea table, took out one and handed it to the other party, then took out another one for himself, and then said calmly:

"Your Excellency, General, you must understand that aircraft manufacturing is a systematic project.

It does not mean that if we can design an excellent fighter jet, we will have the ability to manufacture it.

This requires us to have strong basic industries as support.

I dare to introduce aircraft manufacturing plants because of the introduction of the previous automobile industry system, which gave us some basic manufacturing capabilities.

But this is not enough. Airplanes are not cars, and being able to make cars does not mean that we can make airplanes.

As an air force, you should also know that the aircraft we currently have in Brazil are actually lagging behind.

The future of the Air Force is jets.

If we want to build airplanes, we must have jet manufacturing capabilities in the future.

The difficulty of manufacturing a jet aircraft is much greater than that of today's propeller aircraft."

Major General Nairo Mora looked at Fang Lang dumbfounded, and said with some jaw-dropping:

"What? Fang, you want to build a jet plane?"

While trimming the cigar, Fang Lang looked at Major General Nero Mora with strange eyes and said:

"Why, General, don't you agree that jet fighters are the future?"

Major General Nairo Mora shook his head repeatedly.

"Of course not. We have encountered jet aircraft in Europe. Their high-altitude and high-speed capabilities are not comparable to propeller aircraft.

When a propeller plane encounters a jet, you have no choice but to escape. Whether you can escape depends on your luck.

But do we have the ability to build a jet aircraft?"

Fang Lang smiled, put down the cigar cutter in his hand, picked up a match and lit the cigar in his hand, took a puff, and then said slowly:

"Of course we don't have the ability to build jets now, and Rome wasn't built in a day.

We can take our time!

Now, our first step is to train a group of qualified technical workers by modifying aircraft.

Once we have qualified technical workers, we can start trying to manufacture small aircraft.

If we can succeed, we will need some orders from the military.

For example, primary trainer aircraft, then propeller fighters, propeller transport aircraft.

Finally, I started to challenge jet fighters and jet transport aircraft.

Take the ride slowly and step by step.

Finally, we will achieve our goal of fully owning a fighter jet with independent intellectual property rights."

After listening to Fang Lang's words, Major General Nairo Mora's excitement began to slowly calm down.

Look at Fang Langdao seriously:

"Does General Fang mean that the support of our military is needed only after the aircraft manufacturing factory inside has had successful aircraft manufacturing experience?"

Fang Lang blew out a big puff of smoke before nodding and saying:

"My development plan for the factory is this. If the General has a better idea, of course you can put it forward for our reference."

Major General Nairo Mora lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again and said:

"I think our Aviation Academy's first batch of training aircraft can be designed and manufactured by an aircraft manufacturer.

Your aircraft manufacturing plant is not only your family's business, it is also the hope of our Brazilian aviation industry.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

How can you slowly develop and grow completely on your own?

I understand what you mean. Aircraft manufacturing is a systematic project and cannot be accomplished overnight.

But, there are shortcuts we can take!

As long as you can design qualified products, we can purchase parts from abroad.

As long as the assembled aircraft can meet our own design requirements, it is a product of our own Brazilian aviation industry.

As for the localization rate of parts, we can slowly increase it later!"

Fang Lang was stunned by Major General Nairo Mora's words, yes!

I am not in my hometown, so I don’t have to pursue the Soviet-style grandeur. Brazil has never been blocked or sanctioned by Europe and the United States, so I don’t have to worry about parts getting stuck.

Of course, competitors' methods are certainly inevitable, but as long as you have the core technology in hand, you can be more radical!

It should not be any difficult for the researchers of your own company to develop a training aircraft at this time.

According to Major General Nairo Mora's idea, wouldn't it be possible to start manufacturing directly if the Aviation Academy places an order to the aircraft manufacturer?

My influence in the military is not small now, and with the support of the Minister of the Air Force, everything seems to be going smoothly!

Other officials in Brazil are corrupt and accept bribes. Are you worried that someone will attack you in this regard?

But I’m not in politics, so there’s nothing to worry about.

As for corruption in the military, his fleet can be said to be the cleanest in Brazil, okay?

After thinking about this clearly, Fang Lang looked at Major General Nairo Mora seriously and said:

"General, are you sure you can convince the Ministry of National Defense?

This is no small matter."

Seeing Fang Lang's expression, Major General Nairo Mora understood that Fang Lang had been persuaded by him, and smiled and said to Fang Lang:

"Haha... Fang, are you making this matter too complicated?

Since we are applying to establish an aviation academy, we simply report the purchase cost of this aircraft as the purchase cost of the training aircraft.

As long as the Ministry of National Defense approves our school building plan and gives us funding,

In the name of the school, we can directly place an order to manufacture a training aircraft to your aircraft manufacturer.

This way you don’t need to submit it to the Ministry of National Defense for approval again!”

Fang Lang looked at Major General Nairo Mora in shock, this guy is a genius!

No wonder you can directly become the Secretary of the Air Force. This idea is really clear and very feasible!

"Then... let's try this?"

Fang Lang was a little unsure.

Major General Nairo Mora made the final decision, patted the table directly and said:

"Whatever you try, it's decided.

When I returned to Rio de Janeiro, I went to General Crook to discuss and jointly apply for the establishment of an aviation school.

But before that, I still really want to visit your aircraft manufacturing factory.

When are you free, how about being my guide?"

It seems that the Major General Nairo Mora in front of me is also a person who can do practical things!

He speaks and does things well without being sloppy and full of courage.

Fang Lang had nothing to say and said directly:

"If it's convenient for your Excellency, General, I will arrange a flight tomorrow morning and we can fly directly to Sao Paulo."

"I don't have a problem, then it's decided. I'll rest at your house tonight."

Major General Nairo Mora said very simply.

Fang Lang's original plan was to go to Sao Paulo later. After all, the Ministry of Justice just called today and invited him to meet Sebastian Hodges.

If you go directly there tomorrow, it is very likely that someone will predict your whereabouts in advance, which will have an impact on travel safety.

However, it is impossible for me to stop eating due to choking. Should I be worried about where I go if I am worried that someone will attack me?

Why don't you be a soldier? Just be a coward.

"Okay, then I will ask someone to arrange the flight now and leave early tomorrow morning."

Then Fang Lang notified his adjutant, and Qi Qingshan arranged his schedule and security.

That night, Fang Lang and Major General Nairo Mora didn't know whether they drank too much tea and couldn't sleep, or they found a common topic and chatted until midnight before going back to their rooms to sleep.

The only two military commanders in Brazil who control aviation power, during a night of conversation, it was like a friend meeting a close friend, and they became very good friends.

They also conducted a series of discussions and plans on the future of the Brazilian aviation force, and initially reached a consensus to fully support the Fangyuan Group aircraft manufacturing factory.

Major General Nairo Mora even asked Fang Lang to urge the aircraft manufacturing factory to start developing helicopters.

Both sides had to admit that Major General Nairo Mora was definitely a qualified Minister of the Air Force, even better than himself, a time traveler.

After all, only by standing in the direction of the historical development of later generations can I know some things.

And the other party really relies entirely on his own personal vision.
