Chapter 549 Political Opponents

Fang Lang didn't expect that the intelligence brought by Sirio Reich this time was actually about Labor Party Chairman Vargas. Fang Lang actually admired the former Brazilian president, even though he made a coup as a dictator

Get on stage.

However, he still brought great changes to Brazil when he was in office, and his concept of governance was relatively flexible. Everything was based on Brazil's actual needs and would not simply follow the footsteps of certain countries.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that historically, he was overthrown by the pro-American forces just after the war was won.

Unfortunately, in order to rise rapidly, Fang Lang now has to choose to lean towards the United States and has become one of the representatives of the pro-American faction in Brazil.

But in fact, in Fang Lang's heart, he has no good impression of the United States at all. The reason why he has become a pro-American faction now is just because he can obtain the greatest benefits in the shortest time.

He is very aware of the history behind it. Brazil is the backyard of the United States. If he does not lean toward the United States, he will not be able to move forward in Brazil.

Only when he has a pivotal position in Brazil and the United States that the Americans dare not attack him easily can he make his voice heard in Brazil.

But now his identity means that he cannot stand on the same side as President Vargas, and conflicts are inevitable.

This is also the reason why he arranged for intelligence personnel to sneak into the opponent's side.

"Oh! What kind of information is it? I want you to go there in person."

"Our people eavesdropped and heard that Mr. Vargas arranged for people to enter the Fangyuan Group union to collect intelligence about the union and seemed to be preparing to launch an investigation into the union."

Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Sirio Leitch with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean, what happened to our group's union? What investigation was launched?"

Seeing Fang Lang's puzzled face, Sirio Leitch smiled bitterly and said:

"Based on what we have heard through eavesdropping, it seems that they are preparing to deliberately create some troubles and lead union workers to think that group unions are a means for the group to exploit workers. They are not a workers' organization that represents the interests of workers.

At the same time, we are also preparing to mobilize members of Congress to characterize the Fangyuan Group Union as an illegal non-party organization and demand its cancellation."

Hearing Silio Leitch's words, Fang Lang looked at him in disbelief. He knew that the Labor Party had always wanted to establish a trade union organization within Fangyuan Group.

But Fang Lang discovered it in time, so they set up a trade union organization within the company first, which was under their own control.

With the influence of Fangyuan Group in Brazil, this obviously disrupted the development plan of the Labor Party. Therefore, Fang Lang had already expected that the Labor Party would attack his own union organization.

Now that he heard the news, he was not surprised, but he did not expect that the other party would be prepared to deliberately create some trouble in the first step to deliberately damage the reputation of the union.

Haven't they ever thought that this kind of trick is a destructive move that kills the enemy by one thousand and damages oneself by eight hundred? Don't the problems that exist in the Fangyuan Group's union exist in the union organized by their labor party?

As for saying that there are no problems in his union, Fang Lang won't believe it. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is an organization controlled by people, so there will inevitably be unavoidable interlocking interests of all parties.

Correspondingly, conflicts between them will certainly exist.

What's more, in the final analysis, the trade union organization of Fangyuan Group is not an organization that truly represents the interests of workers. It is just a tool used by Fangyuan Group to appease workers' emotions. The Labor Party can weaken the union as long as it deliberately provokes conflicts between union cadres and workers.

of influence.

Fang Lang is not worried at all about their plan to push in Congress to classify the Fangyuan Group Union as a non-political and illegal organization. Even if this bill is passed, the worst case scenario is that Fang Lang will directly re-form a political party, or affiliate the union with the National League.

Or the Social Democratic Party, can solve this problem once and for all.

The reason why Fang Lang did not do this was actually because he was very optimistic about the future development of the Labor Party and wanted to step forward to intervene in the management of the Labor Party and become the boss behind it when the Labor Party was attacked in the future.

But now it seems that the situation is obviously no longer allowed. His opponents are simply not prepared to give him a chance to continue to develop. The development of their Fangyuan Group union has aroused the Labor Party's high vigilance.

Hearing this, Fang Lang thought for a while and then slowly said:

"Do you know what kind of trouble they are planning to cause?"

Silio Leitch shook his head and said:

"We don't know yet, but we have already focused on the person responsible for carrying out this matter."

Fang Lang frowned and reached out to touch his chin.

"No matter what they want to do, send more manpower from now on to keep an eye on them. I want to know their every move.

In addition, regarding Captain Marcelino Orlando, the captain of the battleship Minas Gerais, who secretly contacted the Labor Party, has the Navy taken any action?”

Fang Lang is very clear about the importance of the political arena. He has never looked down upon these politicians. As early as when he became the leader of the Nice Company, he unexpectedly gained the resources of the Social Democratic Party, which allowed him to do what he wanted.

Many things become more effective with half the effort.

From that time on, he began to intentionally get involved in the political field, including his uncle's Yang Gan, who was a member of the National League and served as the mayor's secretary in Sao Paulo, which was also his tentacle in the political field.

However, considering that his military status is very sensitive and that he has no real confidants in various political parties, he has not been heavily involved in the political field.

The current situation seems to be beyond his control. If he does not take the initiative to intervene in the political field, others may take action on his own private property.

"General Crook summoned Colonel Orlando to the Admiralty for a reprimand, but since there was no substantial evidence, there was no way to take further action directly against them.

The President also expressed serious concern about the matter, and Defense Minister Marshal Moraes also personally asked General Crook for his opinion on how to handle it.

It is said that General Crook has begun to search for a new captain of the battleship Minas Gerais, and Colonel Orlando may not stay in this position for long."

Fang Lang was not surprised by this. To say that there is a connection between military generals and opposition parties is actually inevitable. After all, people are social animals and there will always be relatives and friends, so there will inevitably be intersections.

.

Therefore, in most cases, everyone turns a blind eye to this situation, but Colonel Orlando's situation is really rare. He went to other countries to inspect without the military's knowledge.

A warship.

If Fang Lang hadn't been invited to England this time and asked about it by General Henderson, both the Navy and the Ministry of Defense would have been kept in the dark, and this problem would have been serious.

It’s no wonder that both the President and the Secretary of Defense are personally involved.

Of course, this matter actually does not only have a great impact on Colonel Orlando. If Fang Lang's prediction is correct, Congress will soon launch an inquiry into the Labor Party's initiative to contact military generals.

Maybe, now the Labor Party suddenly takes action against the union of the Yuan Yuan Group, just to attack in the east and in the west, diverting trouble to the east. It may also be that it wants to use the relationship between the Fangyuan Group and Fang Lang to drag Fang Lang into trouble.

It was used to share the firepower that the Labor Party was about to face. Thinking of this, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown even more. He originally wanted to establish a brand new political party based on the current trade union organization.

Now it seems that they really can't do this, maybe the other party is waiting for them here! But since others have already taken action, if he doesn't take some action, it is obviously not his habit to be beaten passively.

After pondering for a while, Fang Lang nodded and said to Sirio Leitch:

"I understand, you go down first!"

Seeing that Fang Lang was aware of the current situation, Silio Reich did not stay for long. After saluting a military salute, he turned and left.

Fang Lang returned to the beach chair at the beach, looking at the sea in the distance and lost in thought.

Audrey Hepburn on the side understood that the other party had something to think about, so she obediently did not disturb him. She ran into the sea and swam for a while before landing ashore wrapped in a towel.

By the time Audrey Hepburn returned to the beach chair, Fang Lang had already thought of a countermeasure, and with a smile on his face, he held Audrey's waist and returned to his officer's villa.

That night, Fang Lang called his father in Sao Paulo and explained this.

Early the next morning, an unexpected person took the earliest flight and arrived in Natal.

Fang Lang, who was working in the office, looked at Xin Shiliang who came in behind Qi Qingshan. He stood up from his desk in surprise and said:

"Mr. Xin, I never expected that my father would send you here."

Xin Shiliang was one of the Chinese rescued by Fang Lang from a tantalum mine not far from Natal when he was annihilating the hidden Japanese forces in Natal.

This middle-aged man who served as the office director of Fengtian City Hall had a very profound impact on Fang Lang. After he recovered, he was recommended by Fang Lang to his father as the secretary-general of the Fangyuan Group Secretariat.

.

I haven't been to Fangyuan Group for a long time, so I haven't seen Mr. Xin Shiliang for a long time. I didn't expect that my father would send him here this time. But after thinking about it, Fang Lang understood that now the Fang family can trust him.

This is probably the one who has experience in politics.

And Xin Shiliang revisited his hometown again, returned to Natal and came to Fang Lang's office. He was very excited. You must know that if the soldiers under Fang Lang hadn't rescued them from the Japanese mine, they would

People no longer know whether they are dead or alive.

He would never forget Fang Lang's life-saving grace. What's more, the Fang family and his son later trusted him very much and directly appointed him as the director of the Secretariat of Fangyuan Group. It is no exaggeration to say that this position was his original one.

Neither the office director of Fengtian City Hall nor the assistant manager of a food factory can compare.

Only those who have actually worked in Fangyuan Group Corporation will know how huge Fangyuan Group is. Such an enterprise was something Xin Shiliang had never dared to imagine.

As a miner who had nothing and could not even speak Portuguese, he was directly assigned to the Secretariat as the Secretary-General, which he had never dared to think of.

Now he has not only settled down in Sao Paulo, but has also started a new family and married a Chinese woman who immigrated here.

Therefore, his gratitude to Fang's family was indescribable. After receiving Fang Xinshan's order this time, he rushed over on the earliest plane without stopping.

"Master, I'm glad to see you again! I didn't expect you to still remember me!"

Fang Lang was stunned by Xin Shiliang's new title and almost didn't react for a while. However, he quickly understood what the other party meant.

This title, which obviously carries the legacy of feudalism, is actually Xin Shiliang's way of showing his loyalty to himself! Because during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, this title was mostly a title given to small bosses by family shopkeepers.

At that time, the shopkeepers at home were usually tenured for life, and were actually not much different from domestic slaves.

Fang Lang didn't say much when he heard this, he just laughed and said:

"I recommended you to my father in the first place. How could I not remember you? Come on, come on, come on. Mr. Xin has worked hard all the way here. Let's sit down and chat."

With that said, Fang Lang pointed to the tea table in the office and motioned for the other party to take a seat.

When Qi Qingshan saw Fang Lang guiding Xin Shiliang to his seat, he stood at attention and saluted:

"Boss, please chat with Mr. Xin slowly, and I'll go down and get busy first."

When Fang Lang heard this, he nodded and did not try to persuade the other party.

Seeing this, Xin Shiliang quickly turned around and nodded to Qi Qingshan. Qi Qingshan nodded in response with a smile on his face, then exited the room and gently closed the door.

After Qi Qingshan left the room, Xin Shiliang was not polite and sat directly on the tea table.

"If there had been no Shaodongjia, Shiliang would probably still be mining in a Japanese mine! I don't know when and where he would die.

When I look at my life now, I can’t even think about it!”

Fang Lang just smiled when he heard the other party's emotion. He didn't want to repay the favor, so he didn't intend to be too polite with the other party on this issue.

He started making tea and said with a smile:

"There is no need to mention these past events. We are all Chinese, and it is natural for us to help each other in a foreign country.

I didn’t expect that father would send you here this time.”

Xin Shiliang heard Fang Lang's words and understood the other party's attitude. He wanted to get straight to the point and start talking about business. He quickly corrected his attitude and his expression became serious.

"Last night my boss called me to my home and asked my opinion if I would like to come and work under your command. I agreed without even thinking about it."

Upon hearing this, Fang Lang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xin Shiliang in surprise. He thought his father would directly tell him what work he was responsible for.

But now it seems that the father obviously did not tell the other party. Considering that the other party once served as the office director of Fengtian City Hall, it is understandable why the father came to party with Fang.

Instead of telling the other party what the job is, just saying that he is working under him, it is obviously to let the other party know who he should be responsible for.

I have to say that this is his biological father. He considers everything for his son. When he needs someone to cooperate with his work, he will send his most suitable people over without hesitation.

"You agreed without even thinking about it? Aren't you afraid that this is a dangerous job?"

Xin Shiliang smiled confidently after hearing this:

"Young master, I'm joking. You are a powerful general in the Brazilian Navy, and you have many warriors who are good at fighting. If it is really a dangerous job, you won't be able to do it for a scholar like me."
