Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 375

As a leader of the Hongmen Hall, it is definitely okay to play with guns, but what kind of gun to use in what place obviously touches his blind spot of knowledge.

"Oh! I wonder what Mr. Fang can teach me?"

Fang Lang waved his hand and said with a smile:

"If there is anything to teach or not, we just discuss it with each other. After all, we in Brazil have dense jungles just like you in Southeast Asia.

If you want to purchase arms to fight in the jungle, I suggest that the firearms you purchase should not be too long, otherwise it will be inconvenient to turn around in the jungle.

In addition, it is recommended that you purchase more submachine guns. After all, if you encounter an enemy in the jungle,

Often the distance to the enemy is already very close. The submachine gun is short and has a fast rate of fire, so it can pour out the bullets in the shortest time."

When Ji Wanchang heard this, he found it really reasonable and laughed and said:

"Haha. Yes, we usually use a lot of submachine guns, but we mainly use them for convenience and concealment.

Now that you say it, I do think submachine guns are very suitable for us."

"In addition, you can purchase more landmines or grenades to set traps in jungle operations.

As long as the enemy dares to pursue you, just using landmines or booby traps arranged with grenades will be enough for them to drink."

Hearing Fang Lang's analysis and selection of these weapons, Ji Wanchang became a little strange. He looked at the soldiers outside who were responsible for protecting Fang Lang, and then he suddenly realized:

"Mr. Fang, he leads troops to fight! No wonder he is so familiar with the equipment.

In this case, I wonder if you can trouble Mr. Fang to give us a list of equipment. Then I will purchase it directly according to your list.

However, can you add some grenades like the Little Japs to this? When I came out, several veterans of the resistance army in the team said that this thing is very useful."

Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. This stumped him. The Americans did not have this guy in their equipment! It was almost like a mortar.

However, the power of the mortar is obviously much greater than that of the grenade. Of course, the corresponding weight will increase and the movement speed will also slow down.

What confused him even more was whether this thing could be used in the jungle?

If you want to shoot through the dense jungle, why don't you shoot it directly on top of your head? Maybe you will blow yourself up.

But since the other party made the request, Fang Lang certainly couldn't refuse.

I can only tell the truth:

"The grenade you are talking about is a unique equipment of the Japs. They are the only ones in the world with equipment. But if you want projectile weapons, just purchase a batch of US military M2 60mm mortars!

I don’t know how many people and equipment you need in total.”

Ji Wanchang didn't think much about Fang Lang's question and answered directly:

"No problem, you are a professional, I trust you.

There are about 2,200 people in our team, and they are all men who can directly hold a gun and go to the battlefield."

Originally, Fang Lang was worried that if he asked about their specific number, the other party would hesitate for a while, unlike him, an outsider, who would reveal it. Unexpectedly, the other party would tell Fang Lang their number directly without any concealment.

This kind of character makes Fang Lang a little worried. He has no sense of confidentiality at all. How can the resistance army last long?

If you don’t do it well, you might be sold out. After thinking about it for a while, I reminded you:

"Mr. Ji, thank you for your trust and telling me the number of people in your team.

But there is a saying that is very simple but profound, I want to remind you!

If you take the path of armed resistance, you will face life and death at any time. You must keep a lot of information confidential, otherwise it will be easy for the enemy to catch it and make an issue of it.

The weapons and equipment this time can be purchased according to the scale of 3,000 people, which can be regarded as leaving some inventory.

In addition, it can also confuse your enemies."

When Ji Wanchang heard this, he took a deep look at Fang Lang, nodded to him and said:

"Thank you Mr. Fang for the reminder, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

At this moment, Ji Wanchang felt that if he could get this guy in front of him to go back and lead his own resistance army, great things would be accomplished.

But he understood that the other party had such a big industry in Brazil, and it was impossible for him to follow him to Malaya, so he quickly continued:

"I don't know what else you can teach me, sir."

Seeing the other person's eager look on his face and his straightforward attitude of not hiding anything, Fang Lang was still a little moved, so he didn't hide it and said with a smile:

"I don't know who suggested that you find Americans as your backers, but I have to say that this is a clever move.

If you just carry out armed resistance and have a background in the Communist Party of Malaya, you may be regarded as a model by the British and be rounded up.

However, if you are not an armed force of the Communist Party of Malaya and only carry out a restrained armed struggle, I think you have a good chance of succeeding."

When Ji Wanchang heard Fang Lang's words, he immediately smiled, but then he was stunned again and asked with some confusion:

“Restrained armed struggle? What does this mean?”

Fang Lang smiled and said:

"That is to say, we must fight but also exercise restraint, and we must not expand the war.

You must understand, and let the British understand, that your purpose is only to establish a Chinese country in Malaya, and you do not have any grudge against the British, nor do you need to deliberately target the British.

It would be best to raise one's banner in a rural area where the British power is relatively weak, and then express one's position to the British.

Slowly penetrate into the surrounding areas, and you can even pay taxes to the British normally in the early stage, so that the British can see your position."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Fang Lang's words, Ji Wanchang said in disbelief:

“Since we are fighting armed struggle for independence, how can we continue to pay taxes to the British?

Isn’t this no different from the original?”

Hearing this, Fang Lang was not in a hurry and continued to smile:

"That's why we say it's a restrained armed struggle. You have to let the British understand that you don't want to go to war with the British. It's just that you have to choose armed struggle in order to build an independent country for the Chinese."

"But didn't you say that if you want to have enough influence, you have to defeat the British once?

Then we won’t be able to go to war with the British?”

"Who said there won't be a war with the British? Do you think the British will just watch you occupy territory?

It is impossible to get the British to acquiesce to your existence without bloodshed.

Therefore, there will definitely be a battle between you and the British, but in this battle you must not only show your strength and determination, but also let the British see your sincerity, do you understand?"

Now Ji Wanchang was completely confused by Fang Lang. He looked at him with a puzzled face and said:

"How can we show our strength and determination and let the British see our sincerity!

Isn’t this contradictory?”

Hearing this, Fang Lang covered his face with one hand and said helplessly:

"If you want to show strength and determination, you have to fight hard enough and let the enemy know how strong you are.

And it is very simple to let the British see your sincerity.

There will definitely be prisoners and wounded in the war. You can treat the wounded for the British, and after the war is over, take the initiative to return the British prisoners to the British.

However, you must also make it clear to these prisoners and the British that you have no intention of going to war with the British, but you just hope to have a piece of Chinese territory.

In this way, the British will begin to weigh the pros and cons and whether it is worth getting into an endless battle with a powerful force.

When you promise to obey their leadership, they will definitely choose to turn a blind eye or close one?"

Ji Wanchang said somewhat unbelievably:

"How is this possible? That is the powerful British Empire, the empire on which the sun never sets!"

It seems that the power of the British Empire is indeed engraved in the minds of many people!

However, for Fang Lang, a person from later generations, he knew very well that the British Empire, which had gone through two world wars, had long since declined and its glory had ceased.

Of course, of course, these words cannot be said to the other party.

Fang Lang smiled and said:

"Compared to your small actions in Southeast Asia, the British have bigger headaches that need to be solved."

Looking at the other party's questioning face, Fang Lang could only sigh and continue:

“Do you think you are the only one in Malaya who is arguing for independence?

The jewel in the British crown and the largest colony, India is the real headache for the British."

This cannot be blamed on Ji Wanchang. After all, information transmission in this era is far less developed than in later generations. It is understandable that Ji Wanchang, who has been hiding in Southeast Asia, does not know what is happening in other places.

After hearing this, Ji Wanchang fell into deep thought, and after a long while he spoke with excitement:

"You mean that the British have been involved in India and have no energy to pay attention to our small powers?"

"Yes, as long as you show obedience to each other's leadership and do not occupy their cities.

And if you have enough strength, the other party will definitely not concentrate on fighting you."

Fang Lang analyzed Ji Wanchang with a confident face.

Although Ji Wanchang's brain is not flexible enough, it does not mean that he cannot use his brain.

After hearing what Fang Lang said, he continued to say doubtfully:

"But if we don't occupy the city, we won't be able to grow bigger at all!

There’s no way we can achieve our desire for independence!”

Although Fang Lang didn't know when Malaya became independent later, he knew very well that Malaya finally gained independence, and the British also supported the establishment of a regime, that is Singapore.

Therefore, Fang Lang knew very well that as long as Ji Wanchang could endure loneliness and work quietly in the countryside for about twenty years.

After gaining the support of Americans, they will definitely get the status they want.

But Ji Wanchang obviously couldn't understand where Fang Lang's confidence came from.

After all, the tactic of surrounding cities in rural areas had not yet spread at this time.

There are few people who can understand the essence of it, so Fang Lang had to teach him step by step:

“Let me ask you, is Southeast Asia larger in urban areas or in rural areas?

Is it the population that is larger in cities or the population in rural areas?”

"Of course, it's the countryside."

"Since there are many rural areas, does that mean that if you control the rural areas, you will control most of Malaya."

"It seems so, but the economic conditions in rural areas are not good!"

After hearing what the other party said, Fang Lang sighed helplessly and said:

"Who are the rich people in Malaya?"

"Foreigners and Chinese."

"Then since the countryside is the territory of your Chinese influence, can you stop the wealthy Chinese businessmen from shifting their investment focus to your territory?"

"That's not impossible!"

"Then if wealthy Chinese businessmen move to rural areas in large numbers, will the rural areas slowly develop?"

"Maybe!"

Hearing the other party's extremely unconfident answer, Fang Lang wished he could hit the other party on the head. He shook his head helplessly and said:

"As long as you manage well in rural areas and the economic policies provided are loose enough, I can tell you for sure that there will be no problem in building a new city."
