Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 40 The New Needs of the Navy

At the Port of Naples, Italy, Mr. Kerns was leading the employees of Global Trading Company to check the goods shipped from Brazil to Italy. Most of them were cigarettes, and the rest were mostly sugar, pepper, wine and other items. While checking,

Cargo Coens was asking some captains.

"Moscina, this voyage went smoothly!"

"Of course, Mr. Kerns was under the protection of the naval fleet throughout the entire journey. Although he encountered several German attacks, there were no dangers."

Moscona's face was full of questions. Didn't he inform the company about his itinerary? What else is Mr. Kerns asking himself now?

"Then no one will cause trouble for you in Brazil this time!"

After pinching the list in his hand, Mr. Kerns expressed his feelings somewhat hesitantly.

"Of course not. The whole process was arranged by the boss himself. We were either parked at the naval base or protected by the navy. How could someone come to us and cause trouble without opening their eyes?"

Moscona glanced at Mr. Coens strangely, wondering what was going on with Mr. Coens today.

"Does the boss have a huge network of connections in Brazil?"

Coens was a little embarrassed by Moscona's eyes, and his face turned slightly red.

"I'm not very clear about this specific situation because I spend most of my time near the dock. You may need to ask the person in charge of the Brazilian branch to know."

Captain Moscona, who was a little confused by the twitchy look on his face in front of him, began to think about Mr. Cohen's intentions while answering Mr. Cohen's question.

"Then you have been to the boss's hometown, right? You brought back so many crew members recruited by the boss in Brazil on this ship."

After a round of unhelpful remarks, Coens finally changed his mind and decided to bring the issue to his own topic.

"Of course, the boss's home is near Puerto Sanchez."

Mr. Captain has been confused by the Coens and can only answer whatever he asks.

"I don't know, have you ever heard them talk about the situation at the boss's house?"

Finally, Coens asked the question he wanted to know most!

"What are you referring to! I heard some of these bosses' compatriots talk about them on the ship."

Mr. Captain, looking at the expression on Mr. Corns's face, he had some rough guesses about his purpose, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Well! It's mainly about whether the boss has a girlfriend in Brazil. Do you understand what I mean?"

Kerns obviously lost his patience with the unscrupulous captain in front of him, and decided not to hide it, but went straight to the topic!

"Haha... I understand, Mr. Corns is trying to find out the situation for Miss Lilith! Hehe... don't worry! I actually asked this, and everyone said...

.."

Moscona felt relieved when he saw that Mr. Coens finally revealed his true intention. You are not Chinese, so if you have anything to say, why don’t you just say it! It’s such a big detour.

"What are you talking about?"

When the gentleman on board stopped mid-sentence, Coens blurted out with an eager look on his face.

"Hehe... Don't worry! Mr. Coens, the boss doesn't have a girlfriend in Brazil! Hehe..."

Mr. Captain laughed loudly, and Coens also blushed at his deliberate tone of ridicule.

"Hmm...I know! Then hurry up and repair the ship. Since the cargo has been almost unloaded, I will leave first!"

After saying that, he seemed to be running away.

At this time, Lieutenant General Amuro Chambers, Commander of the U.S. Fourth Fleet, was chatting with Commodore Jackson of the Naval Logistics Department at the U.S. Naval Base.

"Jackson, the appetite of these Brazilians is getting bigger and bigger. Brazil is not threatened by war. This time they want us to provide them with one of the most advanced naval destroyers. I don't know what they want to use it for."

, are you going to South America to become the king?"

Lieutenant General Chambers is a tall, strong white man with a meticulously buttoned military uniform and sharp eyes. There is a three- to four-centimeter wound on the left side of his face. Obviously, he is also a military general who has experienced the test of blood and fire. The look in his eyes at this time

Slightly dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency General, the Brazilian navy is an old model from the First World War. They have not launched a new naval ship for more than 20 years. Now we see new warships and a new war model on both sides.

, it’s normal to have thoughts in your heart!”

Brigadier General Jackson expressed his opinion calmly

"So what do you mean! Do we meet their demands?"

After hearing Jackson's words, Lieutenant General Chambers became obviously more dissatisfied.

"It depends on how your Excellency the General wants to use the Brazilian Navy. If you just need them to lay mines and clear mines, of course you don't care about their ideas, but if your Excellency the General needs them to help us perform other combat missions, we will provide

Naturally, some military equipment has nothing to do with it."

"What you say makes sense, but the combat capability of the Brazilian Navy is basically like a child's play house, with no actual combat experience at all! What can I expect them to do!"

The disdainful expression on Lieutenant General Chambers' face was beyond words.

"This subordinate doesn't have any good ideas. I guess the Brazilian Navy doesn't want to directly send their navy with no combat experience to the front line to perform dangerous combat missions. It may be used to learn new warfare methods and new ships.

The ship concept is more likely."

"This is also my guess, so I have some doubts about providing them with warships, but Eisenhower is very satisfied with the performance of the Brazilian Army. Admiral Kim hopes that the Brazilian Navy can also play a better role for us."
Vice Admiral Chambers has a clear understanding of the thoughts of the Navy's upper echelons.

"Do you mean that the higher-ups intend to provide warships to Brazil?"

"The higher-ups must want to expand our influence in the Brazilian military. After all, America is for Americans, and it cannot be just a slogan."

"I understand what you mean! So it seems that it is imperative to provide warships to the Brazilian Navy. I wonder if there are suitable candidates to support it now?"

"This is where we hesitate. Colonel Parisi of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force is actually a very suitable candidate. Unfortunately, he is a confidant of President Vargas, and President Vargas is a very good politician. He will not really

Standing with us is just like when he stood with the Germans. When the Germans encountered a decline, they immediately switched to our arms. This kind of fence-sitting faction cannot become a true pro-American faction."<

/p>

Lieutenant General Chambers began to have a headache when it came to specific candidates for support. After all, the United States began to intervene in Brazilian politics, and it was only in the 1940s that it became somewhat effective.

"Oh! If you need a friend who is close to us in the United States, I do have a candidate. Unfortunately, he is only a small lieutenant, and he only has experience as a captain of a transport ship. He may not be qualified to serve as the spokesperson of the United States Navy in Brazil.

Brigadier General Jackson, who had always looked calm, finally began to smile.

"Oh! Tell me, military rank and ability are not important. As long as he can keep up with our pace, we can make up for him whatever he lacks."

"This man is a Chinese-Brazilian, a minority in Brazil. He was the captain of the last transport ship we allocated to the Brazilian Navy. The reason why I chose him is because of his relationship with our U.S. Navy.

Deep down, he was the savior and best friend of General Clark's son John. Even General Clark once called me and asked me to express my gratitude to him because he eased the relationship between their father and son. And this little guy is also very smart.

He has already sold three captured transport ships for us, and he even sent me a telegram some time ago requesting the purchase of ten more transport ships, but he has contributed a lot of funds to our Navy Department."<

/p>

"After hearing what you said, I became interested in him. You talk to him first. If he does belong to our pro-American faction, then you can bring him over and I will have a detailed chat with him."

p>

"Of course, no problem. Their ship has returned to the dock today. I believe he will contact me soon. I will have a good chat with him then, and I believe he will not disappoint you."
