Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 436 Colonel Teach’s Opportunity

Caterpillar, which was acquired by Universal Group not long ago, had the guidance of the mature plans brought by Fang Lang from later generations. After a period of hard work day and night, the design department had completed the design of several construction machinery requested by Fang Lang, and

Made a trial batch.

The engineering team of Global Road and Bridge Company used these brand-new construction machinery and brand-new asphalt concrete materials to build a two-lane asphalt road between the Rockefeller Estate and Fang Lang's estate in the Hudson Valley of New York.

Mr. Alvin Rockefeller was full of praise after seeing the construction efficiency and effects of this highway after its completion.

Global Road and Bridge Company, which has not yet started building highways in Europe, has received several orders for road reconstruction in the United States, which makes Fang Lang very happy.

Global Road and Bridge Company also began to take this opportunity to recruit a large number of experts in road and bridge construction in the United States. It even hired several architecture professors from Cornell University to serve as consultants to the company.

As soon as Pan-European Highway Management Company signs an agreement with the local government, Global Road and Bridge Company is ready to start construction.

While Fang Lang was thinking about these businesses, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Qi Qingshan's voice came from outside the door:

"Boss, Colonel Teach is here."

Hearing this, Fang Lang stopped thinking, stood up slowly, straightened his appearance, saw that he was wearing a military uniform, thought for a moment and said:

"I know, I'll change my clothes and go down."

Because he now holds the rank of major general, if he wears military uniform to meet with Colonel Adams Teach, he may cause the other party to feel awkward. Therefore, Fang Lang decided to change into casual clothes before going down.

After all, the other person is considered his friend.

Qi Qingshan, who was outside the door, heard this and said softly, "Yes, boss!" He stopped talking and stood quietly at the door, waiting for Fang Lang to come out.

Fang Lang took off his military uniform in the room, put on a simple set of white shirt and black trousers, then opened the door and walked out.

Under the guidance of Qi Qingshan, he soon saw Adams Teach in a neat military uniform in the restaurant.

When the other party saw Fang Lang dressed in casual clothes, he was startled for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, walked quickly in front of Fang Lang, and stood at attention and saluted.

"Good afternoon, General!"

Seeing this, Fang Lang could only smile helplessly, stood and gave the other party a military salute before saying:

"good afternoon!

Okay, man, we are friends, don't act so raw.

We haven’t seen each other for such a long time. It’s a rare opportunity to get together, so let’s not act like superiors and subordinates!”

Upon hearing this, Adams Teach quickly put down his saluting hand with a smile on his face and reached out to Fang Langdao:

"Haha. Although we are friends, you are my superior and must maintain absolute respect."

Fang Lang understood the meaning of the other party's words. After all, Fang Lang had long promised to push the other party to the top, and now he could be regarded as the other party's backstage. Therefore, the other party was showing his loyalty to him in disguise.

Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed, stretched out his hand to hold the other person's hand, gave him another big hug, and then let go of the other person and said:

"My heart is received, but today is just a gathering of friends, there are no superiors or subordinates.

Sit, sit, let’s talk while we eat.”

Adams Teach, who understood Fang Lang's attitude, no longer hesitated and sat back to the seat he was sitting in. Fang Lang also sat casually opposite him.

Seeing Fang Lang sit down, Adams Teach directly stretched out his hand to greet the waiter, and asked Fang Lang:

"How about some Chinese food? I've been to this club twice and the Chinese food here tastes pretty good."

Obviously, this was to accommodate Fang Lang's taste, and Fang Lang would certainly not refuse. Otherwise, wouldn't his purpose of arranging a Chinese chef into the club be wasted?

Now that there are more and more Chinese in Brazil, Fang Lang is trying every means to let Chinese culture penetrate into the daily lives of Brazilians.

The Chinese chef in the club is naturally one of these methods. After all, Chinese food has withstood the test in later generations.

He nodded and said:

"Of course I have no problem."

After receiving a positive reply, Colonel Adams Teach no longer hesitated, picked up the menu and started ordering without hesitation.

Although the pronunciation of a foreigner's order when ordering Chinese food was very strange, Fang Lang didn't take it seriously and instead watched it all with interest.

After ordering four dishes, Adams Teach handed the menu to Fang Lang and signaled Fang Lang if he wanted to take another look. Fang Lang saw that there were only two of them eating, so there was no waste and he waved his hand casually. :

"It's just the two of us eating. Four dishes are enough."

Hearing this, Adams Teach casually closed the menu in his hand, handed it to the waiter beside him and said:

"That's all, hurry up and serve the food."

The waiter was a Brazilian girl. Hearing this, she smiled slightly, nodded politely and said:

"Would you like some table wine?"

Before Adams Teach could answer, Fang Lang waved his hand directly and said:

"No need, I have other arrangements in the afternoon."

Hearing the girl's question, Adams Teach, who had just realized the expression on his face, could only shrug helplessly and said:

"Forget it then! Work is important."

Fang Lang smiled and said:

"If you want to drink, call Abubakari Blackwell next time, and we can have a good time with some old friends.

I have something to do this afternoon, so it’s not a good time to drink."

As soon as he heard this, Adams Teach knew that Fang Lang really had other plans, and it was not that he was not disrespecting himself, so he nodded quickly and said:

“No problem, there’s plenty of time to drink!

When you are free, let me know at any time and I will accompany you at any time."

Seeing this, the waiter also understood that today's drinks could not be sold, so he stopped pestering him and nodded politely:

"Both of you, please wait a moment. The food will be ready soon."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After the waiter left, Fang Lang looked at Adam Stitch across from him casually and said:

"Brother, what's the reason for your sudden appointment with me today?"

With the relationship between the two of them, Fang Lang didn't feel the need to beat around the bush, so he directly asked about Colonel Teach's purpose.

Hearing this, Colonel Teach didn't have any special expression. He just lowered his body slightly curiously, approached Fang Lang and said:

"I heard that you came to the Navy Department this time to push the Ministry of Defense to agree to our own production of destroyers, right?"

There was no confidentiality in this kind of thing, so Fang Lang never thought about hiding it from anyone, so he nodded casually and said:

"Yes! The matter has been implemented. The Ministry of National Defense will officially issue a document today and entrust Fangyuan Shipyard to design and build our own destroyer."

"Oh! Did you say how many ships are planned to be built?"

Fang Lang laughed when he heard Colonel Teach's question.

"What? How many do you want? Didn't you just receive a "Fletcher" class destroyer?

Has combat effectiveness been formed now?"

Colonel Teach smiled and said:

"Didn't I get some rumors and want to see if there is still a chance to equip two more ships?

Since the arrival of this new destroyer, those old ships have completely failed to keep up, and people below are asking me when I can get a new ship!"

Fang Lang smiled when he heard this and said:

"This construction plan is experimental in nature, and its performance is still on par with the "Fletcher"-class destroyers. There are not many highlights. The number is only one.

As a capital naval base, it is very likely that it will be handed over to you for use after completion."

Hearing this, Colonel Teach's face immediately burst into laughter, but soon he seemed to have thought of something, and he immediately calmed down and asked:

"Don't you need your aircraft carrier fleet?"

Fang Lang smiled and waved his hand and said:

"The current aircraft carrier fleet has taken shape, and the tonnage of warships has exceeded more than half of the entire navy.

If we continue to compete for other brothers' shares, we will seem a bit greedy, and we will be besieged by others."

Colonel Teach shook his head repeatedly and said:

"No, no, I definitely won't have any objection."

Although the other party said so, if Fang Lang really pulled all the warships under his command, even if he didn't say it, his subordinates would definitely have very big opinions.

Fang Lang knew this about human nature, so even though Colonel Teach said this, Fang Lang didn't take it seriously and just smiled.

When Colonel Teach was about to say a few more words, he saw that the waiters had already begun to bring the dishes over, so he did not continue. After the dishes were served, Fang Lang said directly:

"Okay, okay, there's no need to talk about this question anymore, I understand what you mean.

However, you are also leading troops to fight, and you have brothers under your command. Even if you don't have any objections, can they still have no objections?

So, if you're interested in this new destroyer, you can get started now.

Do you get me?

Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you this time, your opponents are brothers from the other three naval bases.”

Hearing this, Colonel Teach also sighed and said:

"You are right, I have no objection, and the brothers below will definitely have objections as well.

Since you have no idea about this warship this time, I’m really rude!”

Fang Lang nodded indifferently, picked up the chopsticks and gestured to Adams Teach, and began to pick up the food for himself.

After taking a bite, it tasted really good. He nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Is this why your brother asked me out today?"

Seeing that Fang Lang had started to move, Adams Teach stopped being polite and awkwardly picked up the chopsticks. However, it was obvious that it was not that easy for people who had never learned how to use chopsticks.

Fang Lang laughed loudly when he saw this and started to demonstrate to the other party. After a long while, Colonel Teach picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with trembling chopsticks and brought it to his mouth.

Seeing the satisfied expression on the other person's face, Fang Lang couldn't help but laugh.

While eating the food, Colonel Teach smiled and said:

"Of course, this is a brand new warship. Of course we can't give it up if we have the opportunity."

Fang Lang remembered the promise he made to him last time, and said casually while eating:

"Ever thought about walking up there?"

When Adams Teach, who was competing with chopsticks, heard this, he moved his hands and looked at Fang Lang in disbelief. After a long while, he said uncertainly:

"you mean?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Fang Lang smiled and gestured with his hand to let the other person chat while eating.

"How many years have you been serving as the commander of the Rio de Janeiro Naval Base?"

Adams Teach swallowed hard, looked at Fang Lang with some eager eyes and said:

"Six years!"

"Would you like to change seats?"

Looking at Fang Lang, who was holding dishes casually, Adams Teach's heart began to shake violently. He had been waiting for Fang Lang to express this to him at the last gathering of the Ministry of National Defense.

At this moment.

I didn't expect all this to happen so suddenly.

He did not answer the question directly, but slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Fang Lang solemnly, and said word by word:

"Where do you need me to go?"
