Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

After listening to Fang Lang's words, General Laita looked at the inland river patrol boat that had started not far away, and said calmly:

"It is said that the Army's performance in this operation to annihilate the Eddie Brothers rebels made Defense Minister Marshal Moraes and President Dutra very dissatisfied, and they rejected the Army's military expenditure application.

Maybe the Secretary of the Navy saw this opportunity. I heard that the Secretary of the Navy told the Secretary of Defense that this kind of landing operation is the specialty of the Navy. From your Marine Corps, the landing in the Fernando de Noronha Islands

It can be seen from the combat performance that your Marine Corps is a powerful team.

Therefore, he petitioned the Secretary of Defense on behalf of the Navy Department."

Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. Although he also had the idea of ​​​​asking for a battle to eliminate the Eddie brothers, he did not want to do it now! After all, the inland river patrol boat has not yet been delivered, and his Marine Corps' jungle tactics training has not yet been completed.<

/p>

At this time, if you launch an attack on the Eddie Brothers rebels, you will definitely win, but you may also pay huge casualties!

"Did the Ministry of National Defense agree?"

"Of course I don't agree. How could the Army Department allow such a thing to happen? Are they shameless?

The Minister of the Army has issued a military order in front of the Minister of Defense. In the first month after the end of the rainy season, the Army will definitely be able to end the fighting and completely annihilate the Eddie Brothers rebels."

For some reason, Fang Lang felt that General Laita was a little gloating when he said these words.

However, at this time, Fang Lang had no worries to pay attention to General Laita's psychology. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, he could not help but take this matter to heart.

I originally thought that I would find a reason to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the Eddie brothers' anti-government armed forces, but I didn't expect that the Secretary of the Navy would be more anxious than him.

However, Fang Lang doesn't mind the Minister of the Navy's approach. After all, in his position, he really has to seek benefits for the entire navy. Now the arrogant Army brother has capsized in the gutter. If the Marines of the Navy can easily solve it

If the enemy is defeated, the Army's face will definitely look very ugly.

This may be the truest thought in the mind of the Minister of the Navy. After all, in World War II, except for Fang Lang’s solid military exploits during the escort process, the Navy basically had no other record that could be achieved.

However, the Army performed well on the European battlefield. This is also the reason why the Army became so dominant in the country after the war. Military expenditures were given priority to the Army's big brother.

Fortunately, the landing operation on the Fernando de Noronha Islands showed the Navy's face, which improved the Navy's status in the Ministry of Defense.

It was precisely this situation that led Lieutenant General Frederick Crook, who served as the Minister of the Navy, to find a way to improve the status of the Navy, that is, to constantly show his strength. Now the Army's failure in counterinsurgency has obviously made

Lieutenant General Crook saw new hope.

After thinking about this clearly, Fang Lang smiled and touched his chin and said:

"It seems that if the Army cannot complete the battle this time, this job may have to be transferred to my hands.

If this is the case, then I have to prepare early."

After hearing what Fang Lang said, General Laita said with a smile on his face:

"Oh! So, General Fang is not optimistic about the Army Department's action this time?"

Of course Fang Lang would not say such obviously offensive words, he quickly smiled and waved his hands:

"The general is joking. What I mean is that I have to prepare for a rainy day. Regardless of whether the Army can completely eliminate Brother Eddie's rebels, I must be prepared to be ordered to join the battle at any time."

General Laita obviously didn't really believe Fang Lang's explanation, but he also understood that it was normal for others not to express their opinions on this kind of thing. After all, if the words reached the ears of the army, there might be very bad consequences.

.

He smiled and patted Fang Lang on the arm and said:

"Aren't you already preparing? These two patrol boats are what you prepared for fighting in the Amazon River Basin!"

Hearing this, Fang Lang coughed twice, covering up his embarrassment and said:

"I am indeed preparing this for the battle in the Amazon River Basin, but the people participating in the battle are not necessarily from our navy! These patrol boats can also be prepared for the Ministry of War!

I took the initiative to produce these two patrol boats for the sake of business!"

Seeing that Fang Lang was unwilling to admit it, General Laita did not press him. He just smiled and pointed his index finger at Fang Lang and said:

"You're just a slippery boy."

Then his expression changed and he said seriously:

"However, you did a good job in this matter. Our Amazon River Guard really needs to have these two types of equipment.

Next we can talk about the specific purchase quantity."

Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. This turn was a bit fast! The inspection has not yet ended, and the purchase intention has been made clear. But this is also the main purpose of Fang Lang's personal visit today.

Once the agreement is reached, he will not get too involved. After all, his official status is that of a soldier, and it is not suitable for him to discuss specific procurement negotiations with the military.

So, he smiled and shook his head and said:

"Haha...I came here today just to see if the patrol boat I designed can meet the actual combat requirements.

As for the issue of military procurement, you still have to communicate with Mr. Osman Aragon, the general manager of the shipyard. However, please rest assured that we will still follow the old rules. I will discuss it with Mr. Osman Aragon.

Explain clearly."

Seeing that Fang Lang's last words were a gesture to himself, General Laita looked calm on the surface, but the slight upturned corners of his mouth still did not escape Fang Lang's eyes.

Obviously, he is very satisfied with the old rules mentioned by Fang Lang.

"Now it seems that these two patrol boats designed by you are definitely urgently needed equipment for our National Guard. I believe they will be able to withstand the test of actual combat.

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

I hope you can continue your efforts and come up with a design plan for a new destroyer as soon as possible. I will report it to the Minister of Defense to see if we can directly entrust you from the military level to design and build a new destroyer for the navy.

Of course, it would be even better if you could persuade the Secretary of the Navy, General Crook, to apply in person."

It seems that General Laita has really made up his mind to let Fangyuan Group Shipyard independently manufacture the next model of brand-new destroyer. Of course Fang Lang wants this.

Therefore, he said without hesitation:

"No problem, I will push the Navy Ministry to propose an independent shipbuilding plan as soon as possible."

General Laita smiled when he heard this and stretched out his right hand. Fang Lang smiled and stretched out his right hand as well, holding the two hands tightly together. After a private conversation, a huge arms purchase order was reached.

.

The next thing became much simpler. The logistics department officials who followed General Laita and others for inspection were clearly arranged by Mr. Osman Aragon, the general manager of the shipyard.

After the inspection, everyone was full of praise for the two patrol boats of Yuan Group and gave them very high evaluations.

Soon the two sides reached an agreement, and the Logistics Department of the Brazilian Defense Force purchased ten "Amazon-class" inland river patrol boats with a displacement of 500 tons from Fangyuan Shipyard.

And fifty "Flying Fish-class" high-speed patrol boats with a displacement of 7 tons.

This can be regarded as the first warship order received by Fangyuan Shipyard from the military. Soon after, with the promotion of all parties, the Ministry of National Defense commissioned Fangyuan Shipyard to start building new warships based on the US military's "Fletcher-class" destroyers.

Design your own destroyer.

The Fangyuan Group shipyard that received this order officially began its transformation from a civilian shipyard to a dual-use military and civilian shipyard.

.............

In the early morning, at a construction site in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Chi Yousheng from Guizhou, China, was standing in the open space outside the work shed smoking.

Thirty-two-year-old Chi Yousheng is not tall and has dark skin. He is a lean man from the mountains in the south. Unlike most fellow Chinese who are content with the status quo, he is not satisfied with his work on the construction site.

.

As early as the age of 16, when Chi Yousheng was drafted into the Guangxi army to serve as a soldier and receive pay, Chi Yousheng had never learned any craft other than serving as a soldier.

Nearly 16 years of military career have made him accustomed to a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. Originally thinking that the war would be won, he did not want to continue to earn a living with his head in his belt, so he secretly became a deserter, thinking of returning to his hometown to be with his parents.

, by the way, marry a wife and live your own life peacefully.

But when I returned to my hometown, I saw that my hometown had been destroyed in the war, and my old house was burned to the ground. After many inquiries, I found out that my parents had already passed away in the war.

Chi Yousheng lost his direction for a while. He was confused and didn't know where to go. He went home to farm and had no land to farm. He wanted to find a job in the city, but he encountered military police who were going around arresting deserters.

Fortunately, he was clever and ran away. Now he lost his home, couldn't find a job, and was being hunted by the military and police. With no way out, he heard that many people are now going to Brazil to seek a living.

He joined in without a trace. After he finally arrived in Brazil, he was assigned to a construction site.

Because if you don’t have skills, you can only start from the most basic small jobs. All you do is heavy physical labor. You have to get up before dawn every day. After work, you have to participate in cultural training organized by the company.

Although he can learn a lot of knowledge and live a very fulfilling life, this kind of work is really not a career he wants to pursue for the rest of his life.

I originally wanted to learn a new craft in a training class and look for opportunities to change careers in the future.

But a piece of news two days ago made grass grow in his heart, and he no longer had any worries to stay at the construction site and study while working.

"Yousheng, have you thought about it? If you don't go, the rest of us will leave."

A tall and strong young man stood at the corner of the work shed not far away and shouted loudly, waking Chi Yousheng out of his thoughts. He turned around and glanced at the tall and strong young man. Chi Yousheng gritted his teeth and said

Throw the cigarette butt on the ground and crush it with your feet.

He raised his head and glanced in the direction of his dormitory, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, but in the end he took a deep breath, turned to the tall and strong young man and responded:

"I'll go with you!"

Hearing this, the tall and strong young man laughed and said:

"Haha... If you win, I know you are also a person who is unwilling to be ordinary. Let's go!"

Hearing the words of the tall and strong young man, Chi Yousheng walked towards the other party and forced a smile:

"Maybe!"

Then, as if he remembered something, he said to the other party:

"Shitou, are you sure they really said there is no age limit?"

The tall, muscular man known as Shitou nodded, took two quick steps and put his arms around Chi Yousheng's shoulders, pulling him with him and walking outside the construction site.

"Don't worry! I've made it clear that all adult men between the ages of 18 and 40 can participate. Those with military experience will be given priority. You have more military experience than us! You have a greater chance of being selected than us.

."

When Chi Yousheng heard this, he still hesitated and said:

"Is the salary after selection really fifty dollars per month?"

Looking at Chi Yousheng, who was still hesitant, Shitou smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"Haha...Brother Yousheng, this is posted on the notice, but we still have to pass the test before we can go there. Others don't necessarily want us!

So, it’s a little too early for you to think about this now.”

Hearing this, Chi Yousheng was a little embarrassed and wiped his hands on his trouser legs, and said directly to the stone:

"Then let's talk to the captain and go take a look now."

The so-called captain is actually the foreman responsible for managing the workers at the construction site. After hearing Chi Yousheng's idea, captain Gu Fu looked at Chi Yousheng in surprise.

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

In his impression, Chi Yousheng is an honest person who listens to orders. As for the other party's previous experience in his hometown, he also has a rough understanding of it, but he did not expect that the other party would want to apply for such a dangerous job.

"Yousheng, have you really thought about it?"

Since everyone is Chinese, Gu Fu feels that he still needs to persuade each other.

"Captain Gu, I want to give it a try. After all, the salary there is much higher."

Chi Yousheng had already made a decision in his heart, so he no longer hesitated and directly applied for leave to the captain of the construction site.

Seeing that the other party had indeed made a decision, captain Gu Fu nodded and said:

"Since you have thought about it yourself, I won't say anything more. In this foreign country, you have to remember that no matter where you go, don't embarrass us Chinese people, and don't embarrass Mr. Fang.

Either don’t do it, or do your best if you do it.

When you encounter a problem that you cannot solve on your own, seek help from our Chinese organizations as soon as possible. If any Chinese compatriots need help, please do not stand idly by."

Chi Yousheng did not expect that captain Gu Fu had no intention of stopping him. Instead, he told him so many things. Obviously, he sincerely wished him well, which made his cold heart feel a little warm.

p>

He smiled and nodded:

"Captain Gu, I understand, I will not embarrass the Chinese, nor will I embarrass Mr. Fang."

After bidding farewell to his captain at the construction site, Chi Yousheng met Shi Shi at the entrance of the construction site, and another young man who looked a bit stocky, took the bus and staggered all the way to a confession location near the Sao Paulo Police Station.

.

At this moment, there were already three long queues in front of the recruitment point, and there were policemen in police uniforms on the roadside maintaining order. After studying for a while, Chi Yousheng saw a sign with black characters on a white background at the door outside the recruitment point.

, it says "God's Scourge Military Contracting Company Recruitment Office" in Chinese and Portuguese.

Chi Yousheng doesn't know what the name of this company means specifically, but according to what Shitou and others inquired about, it seems that the people recruited here are all soldiers, but they are not soldiers fighting for any country.

But he would fight for whoever paid him. In his opinion, this was similar to his original job in his hometown. After all, he was also a soldier in his hometown and was paid. As for the specific reason for fighting, he didn't know.

Anyway, if someone pays you, you can beat whoever the officer orders.

Originally, he thought that he was tired of the days of licking blood with a knife and would never pick up a gun again. But after experiencing the mediocre life of an ordinary construction worker for a period of time, he still felt that he was more suitable for licking blood with a knife.

A life of blood.

Especially when he heard that working in this company, as long as he could pass the test and become a regular employee of the company, he could receive a monthly salary of fifty US dollars, and when there was a combat mission, he could also receive combat allowance.

He no longer has any worries and continues to work hard on the construction site.

The guy named Shitou at the construction site is also a very out-of-the-box young man. He has long been tired of the boring daily life at the construction site and has long wished to go outside and see the bigger world.

When he learned that employees of this company might go on missions in any country around the world, he was tempted. As for serving as a soldier and risking his life, he simply did not consider it.

According to his original words, "If you are not afraid of being poor, are you still afraid of death?"

Looking at the dense crowd of applicants, Chi Yousheng was very worried about whether he could apply for the job. After all, his age made him very nervous.

There are very few Chinese like the three of them in the entire team. Most of them are local Brazilian soldiers, some are black and some white, and the most are locals with brown skin.

Seeing them arriving, a black guy in front of them looked back at them in surprise and asked:

"Hey! Brother, which army did you retire from?"

As a young man who likes to run around the most, Shitou has already learned Portuguese. After hearing the black boy's question, he said indifferently:

"I am not retired from the army, but this old man Chi is a veteran and has been in the army for 16 years."

The black boy never expected that this inconspicuous, thin middle-aged man would turn out to be a veteran who had served for sixteen years. According to their Brazilian military positions, this kind of veteran should be at least a sergeant major, so he

He quickly saluted Chi Yousheng and said:

"Hello, Mr. Sergeant Major!"

This reaction made Chi Yousheng a little confused. After serving as a top soldier for most of his life, this was the first time someone saluted him and called him sergeant major.

However, the soldier's instinct still made him stand at attention and salute.

Others around him were very surprised when they heard that there was a 16-year-old veteran here, and their eyes could not help but glance this way, which made Chi Yousheng feel very uncomfortable.

Shitou, on the other hand, had a feeling of being "crazy" and began to actively communicate with the people around him. Shitou, who had lived in Brazil for more than a year, was no longer the submissive person he was when he first came here.

Because of Fang Lang's relationship, the number of Chinese in Sao Paulo increased dramatically, and after Hongyi Tang planted its flag in Sao Paulo, there were several frictions with local gangs.

The Chinese brothers in Hung Yi Tong are brave enough to fight and kill, which has also caused the local gangs to suffer a lot. In addition, the chief of police in St. Paul is one of his own, which makes the people in Hung Yi Tong even more unscrupulous in their actions.

The image of the Chinese in Sao Paulo has also begun to become tougher. After a period of time, the presence of the Chinese in Sao Paulo has become stronger and stronger.

Local residents did not dare to make enemies with the Chinese easily, which made the Chinese's life in Sao Paulo gradually become more comfortable.
