Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 373 Arms Business

Hearing the other party say that his Fang family has close ties with the US military, Fang Lang glanced at Mr. Situ next to Ji Wanchang calmly.

After the other party finished speaking, Fang Lang slowly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

He said to Ji Wanchang:

"You just said that Malaysians are fighting for independence, so are you coming here to purchase arms for the Malaysians?"

"Ah! No, no, those Malaysians don't dare to go to war with the British directly.

We bought it for our own use."

Seeing that Fang Lang thought he was with the Malaysians, Ji Wanchang waved his hands repeatedly.

Staring at Ji Wanchang closely, Fang Lang wanted to see some of the other person's inner thoughts from his expression.

The reason why he made an appointment with the other party in the afternoon was that Fang Lang was waiting for the Intelligence Bureau to provide him with information about Malaya.

On the way here, Fang Lang already had a certain understanding of the current situation in Malaya from the intelligence briefing provided by the Intelligence Bureau.

It turns out that during the Japanese occupation of Malaya, a resistance army had been active, and the strength of this resistance army was not bad. At its strongest, it had grown to eight brigades and more than 10,000 people.

The predecessor of this army was the guerrilla backbone trained by the British 101 Special Training School. The reason why the British trained them was actually out of necessity.

At that time, the Japanese had landed in Malaya, and the British army was unable to resist. Finally, when they knew that they were unable to continue to rule Malaysia, they released more than 200 members of the Communist Party of Malaya who had been imprisoned by them.

And threw some old obsolete equipment to this team, asking them to cause some trouble for the new rulers of Malaya, the Japanese.

According to the information provided by the Intelligence Bureau, except for a very small number of Malays, most of this anti-Japanese force were Chinese.

Of course, there is a reason for this. After all, the Japanese knew that during the war in their hometown, the Chinese in Southeast Asia supported the Anti-Japanese War.

Therefore, after the Japanese landed in Malaya, they began to massacre Malayan Chinese.

The Chinese were forced to flee from various prosperous towns to the jungles, and some of them naturally actively participated in the anti-Japanese ranks.

Therefore, it is natural that most of the members of this resistance army are Chinese.

However, the Japanese attitude towards the Malays was to support their independence, and in the name of helping them drive away the British colonists, they supported the pro-Japanese Malay government.

In the eyes of most Malays, the Japanese are actually liberators, so the Malays actually stand with the Japanese.

When the Japanese surrendered, the rebels took over many towns from the Japanese and gained a certain degree of influence in Malaya.

But what people didn't expect was that Wright, the leader of the MCP resistance, turned out to be a British agent.

When the British returned to Malaya, Wright ignored everyone's opposition and forcibly ordered his rebel fighters to lay down their weapons and demobilize.

This Chinese armed force in Malaya was inexplicably destroyed.

Later, the British were even more malicious and vigorously promoted the contribution of the Chinese in the battlefields of Southeast Asia. In contrast, they oppressed and exploited the local indigenous Malays.

Through this method of flattery and killing, local ethnic conflicts intensified, which in turn triggered subsequent murders.

Therefore, after Fang Lang learned this information, his first reaction was whether Ji Wanchang had something to do with the rebels.

After confirming that the other party was not purchasing arms for the Malaysians, Fang Lang asked directly:

"Then Hall Master Ji, can you explain to me who you are purchasing on behalf of?

Or, please explain why you want to purchase arms?"

This question obviously made Ji Wanchang deep in thought, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing this, Fang Lang didn't rush him, he just took out a cigar, lit it for himself, signaled to everyone, and began to wait quietly for the other party's answer.

.

After Ji Wanchang thought for a while, he slowly raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said as if he had made up his mind:

"Mr. Fang, we are all Chinese, so I won't hide some things from you.

This time, we Chinese in Penang want to build our own Chinese force and build a homeland that belongs to us Chinese in Malaya."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xinshui was the first to show surprise. He never expected that this unassuming and impeccable master of Yiyi Hall in Hongmen, Penang, would have such great courage.

Mr. Situ on the side looked like he had expected it, as if everything was as he expected.

Fang Lang still looked calm, looked at Ji Wanchang across from him carefully, and said calmly:

"Are you from the CPM?"

When Ji Wanchang heard this, his whole body was filled with excitement. He looked at Fang Lang in disbelief and stuttered:

"Mr. Fang misunderstood, I. I'm not."

Hearing this, Fang Lang frowned and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Mr. Ji, I am a Chinese, I don't care about your beliefs, and I don't mind.

You don't have to hide it from me at all.

I support your idea of ​​arming the Chinese in Southeast Asia and building a Chinese country.

However, if you want me to provide you with arms, then we must at least trust each other.

The basis of trust is that we need to understand each other.

If you are not even willing to tell me your identity frankly, where will our trust base come from?"

When Situ heard this, he also glanced at Ji Wanchang and said slowly:

"Wanchang, Mr. Fang is right,

If you want to gain the trust of others, you really should be honest with them.

The CPM is not a scourge and there is no need to be secretive.

I have had a lot of contact with many people in my hometown who have the same beliefs as you, and I think they are all upright and real men.

Since we are working for the common interests of our Chinese compatriots, there is nothing we cannot say to others."

Fang Xinshui also looked at Ji Wanchang with dissatisfied eyes, as if he was an honest boy.

At this time, Ji Wanchang looked like he was about to cry without tears. He waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Everyone really misunderstood, I am really not the CPM.

The reason why I am nervous is because the current attitude of the Malayan government towards the Malayan Communist Party is not good. Although it has not gone to the extent of annihilating it, it is still targeting them everywhere.

If I am considered to be a member of the Communist Party of Malaya, the development of our Yi Yi Tang in Penang may be severely restricted."

Ji Wanchang was not wrong about this. In fact, the British, who had been colonizers since 1948, issued a special emergency regulation with the purpose of suppressing the Malayan Communist Party and former resistance members.

The following year, the MCP began to embark on the path of armed resistance, although it ultimately failed.

But it must be said that without the armed resistance of the Malayan Communist Party, the British would never easily agree to the independence of Malaya.

It is a pity that the last Chinese-led CPM team did not succeed in the end, and instead made wedding clothes for the Malays.

When Fang Lang saw that Ji Wanchang didn't seem to be lying, he felt a little strange. Could it be that this guy was the group that later founded Singapore.

These guys are a group of people who value nationalism and have no national sentiments at all.

But it doesn't matter, no matter which faction he belongs to, as long as he is a Chinese compatriot, he will still help them when they need help.

Thinking of this, he said directly:

"Oh! It doesn't matter, yes or no is not important.

As long as you are really Chinese armed forces, I can sell arms to you."

Ji Wanchang was overjoyed when he heard this and said excitedly:

"Really? That's really great."

However, Fang Lang waved his hand, turned to Mr. Situ and said:

"Mr. Situ, I have a question. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

Mr. Situ obviously did not think about why Fang Lang suddenly changed the topic to himself when the two were having a good conversation.

He said directly without thinking too much:

"It's okay, if Mr. Fang has anything to say, just ask.

I can tell you everything I know, and I can tell you everything I know."

Nodding, Fang Lang looked at Mr. Situ seriously and said:

"I believe that with Mr. Situ's energy, Mr. Ji can completely find suitable arms channels in the United States.

I don’t know why Mr. Situ would go far away to find our Fang family?”

Upon hearing what Fang Lang said, Mr. Situ immediately understood what Fang Lang meant. He was worried that there was some trap in it!

Mr. Situ said without hesitation:

"Mr. Fang is right, I can indeed purchase suitable arms from the United States for him.

In fact, it was a coincidence that we met the Fang family this morning.

Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, we do not have any malicious intent.

Hall Master Ji and I had just met in St. Paul the day before yesterday. When Hall Master Ji asked me to purchase arms, my first thought was to go to the United States to help them purchase arms.

However, yesterday we saw the influence of the Fang family in Sao Paulo, and then thought of your identity and the influence of Universal Group in the United States.

Therefore, I made a temporary suggestion to tell Hall Master Ji that we can purchase arms from the Fang family, so as to avoid having to go to the United States again."

Fang Lang obviously didn't believe this statement. After taking a serious look at the two of them, Fang Lang slowly said:

"Malaya is the territory of the British, and my status is not suitable for blatantly selling arms to Master Ji.

In addition, Brazil currently does not have weapons and equipment in stock. If you want to buy fine weapons, you will eventually have to get them from the Americans.

If Mr. Situ is willing, I can give you two a phone number. After arriving in the United States, you can call this person directly to purchase the equipment you need.

Of course, this is just a simple business. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think it is best for you to purchase from the other party in the name of the other party to avoid unnecessary trouble!"

After hearing this, Ji Wanchang pondered for a while, then looked up at Fang Lang again and said:

"I don't know who Mr. Fang thinks is the best person to purchase in."

Fang Lang didn't say much and continued unhurriedly:

"It depends on what you want. The person I introduce to you doesn't care too much about your true identity.

As long as you can give them an explanation and pay him in real money, no matter what equipment you want, he will provide it to you."

In fact, the current US government is not too concerned about the whereabouts of weapons, because the equipment they support is everywhere in the world, and there are too many people using American equipment.

It is basically impossible to trace the source.

Therefore, Fang Lang planned to introduce them directly to the business personnel of Shata Company.

The reason for doing this was that Fang Lang felt that the two people had not told the truth and had hidden something from him.

As for whether the other party is really hiding something, Fang Lang only needs to trade arms once and Fang Lang can investigate clearly by tracking the arms transaction process and whereabouts.

Ji Wanchang hesitated a little after hearing Fang Lang's words. After hesitating for a while, he slowly said:

"Mr. Fang, I wonder if you can tell us who the person you introduced is.

Will it?"

Seeing the other party's hesitant expression, Fang Lang understood that the other party was afraid that the news of the arms purchase would be exposed.

“That’s why I asked you to purchase in someone else’s name!

Whether you will be exposed depends on whether you are cautious enough.

In addition, it also depends on the quantity of arms you purchase. If the quantity is too large, it will surely attract others' attention!"

This is obviously different from Ji Wanchang's original plan. Although Fang Lang now verbally supports the Chinese independence movement, his actual actions are indeed obviously defensive.

Ji Wanchang even felt that the other party did not really want to help them at all, but simply regarded this as a business deal.

Looking at Mr. Situ next to him, Ji Wanchang sighed in his heart and said slowly:

"Okay! I understand."

Mr. Situ on the side saw this, looked at Fang Lang, and then at Ji Wanchang before saying:

"Wanchang, are you hiding something from us?

You want to buy arms, Mr. Fang has introduced you to the right person, why do I feel like you are not satisfied?"

When Ji Wanchang heard this, a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up.

But Mr. Situ is also a man who has matured with age, and he still caught his slight expression for just a moment.

Therefore, before Ji Wanchang could speak, Mr. Situ's tone became stern and he said:

"Wanchang, because we all belong to Hongmen, I took the initiative to help you introduce the Fang family to purchase arms.

But it seems that what you want is not just arms.

Now you'd better tell me honestly why you want to purchase arms and what you are hiding from us."

Fang Xinshui felt that this matter was not simple from the beginning, so he always sat on the side like an outsider and observed the expressions of Mr. Situ and Ji Wanchang.

Now seeing Mr. Situ's appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head.

It seems that I must have misunderstood Mr. Situ.

Fang Lang's attitude is also very calm. He will not make any decisions easily. Since the other party is unwilling to tell the truth, he will not force it.

Now we are just introducing an arms channel to the other party, which has no impact on Fang Lang.

As for whether the other party would use his name to contact the person he introduced to him, he believed that the other party was not that stupid.

When you don't know what the relationship between you and the other party is, it is unwise to spread some information that may cause trouble to you.

If the other party was Fang Lang's own, wouldn't his behavior of pulling Fang Lang into trouble quickly reach Fang Lang's ears?

The attitudes of these people obviously put a lot of pressure on Ji Wanchang. He couldn't hold his head up for a while. After listening to Mr. Situ's words, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
