Chapter 558 The position of director

Uncle Fu, who had been standing by, saw Fang Lang's delighted eyes as he checked the tea set, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously. He had specially collected these from his hometown.

As early as when he heard that his new boss was a person who liked Kung Fu tea, he began to help collect these tea sets. In his hometown, he sold them in the name of Fangyuan Group, so these things were of course very easy to obtain.

Now there are far more precious tea sets in the garden than just a few sets here. In order to keep these tea sets, Fu Bo arranged a special room for storage.

"Mr. Fang, this is mountain spring water that flows from a spring we found in the back mountain. It has been tested as mineral water that can be drank directly. Do you think it is okay for us to use this water to make tea?"

Uncle Fu raised his hand and pointed to a wooden bucket next to him. The bucket was full of clear spring water, and there was a small bamboo water ladle floating on it.

"Oh! We have drinkable mountain spring water in the mountains by the sea? That's really great. Let's try using this water to make tea today."

Fang Lang could tell that Uncle Fu was either a tea lover like himself, or he had specially studied his preferences, so he arranged it just right and made Fang Lang feel very comfortable.

Hearing that Fang Lang immediately agreed to his suggestion, Uncle Fu seemed very happy. He quickly stepped forward and took out a small red clay stove from under the tea table and placed it in a corner of the tea table.

Added some olive pit-like charcoal to it, sprinkled it with alcohol and ignited it, then placed a brand new earthen jar on the tea table, turned around and lifted the bucket over, and used a delicate long-handled bamboo ladle to draw a cup of water from the bucket.

I scooped out most of the can of mountain spring water.

Then he placed the earthen pot on the small red clay earthen pot that had been heated with charcoal.

Seeing the other party's actions, Fang Lang knew that the other party was also an old tea drinker. If the situation didn't allow it today, he would really want to keep the other party to drink tea together.

"Haha... Uncle Fu, thank you for your hard work! You don't need to wait here. When the food is ready, please arrange for someone to come and notify us!"

As he spoke, Fang Lang pointed to the mahogany stools in front of the tea table, gesturing for Sirio Leitch and Black Will to sit down.

Uncle Fu also knew that Fang Lang was about to talk about business, so he nodded slightly and said:

"Then let's not disturb Mr. Fang for now."

Then he pointed to the small box that a servant put on the tea table and said:

"This is tea prepared for you. I don't know your taste. There are three kinds of black tea and green tea in it. There are labels on it. You can decide which one you like to drink."

Looking at the delicate small box that Uncle Fu pointed at, Fang Lang's eyes lit up. This small box with bright colors and complicated patterns was obviously not made of wood. He picked it up and weighed it slightly in his hand. It was of moderate weight and should be one.

A legendary piece of lacquerware.

The box is divided into six compartments, and in each compartment there is a small tea box wrapped in kraft paper, with small labels written in calligraphy on them, which are Dahongpao, Keemunhong, Pu'er, Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, and Taiping Houkui.

.

Fang Lang is a tea drinker who likes black tea, but when he saw a rare Taiping Houkui suddenly appeared among these common tea leaves, he became interested.

In his previous life, he had heard of Taiping Hou Kui, which was said to be the best quality tea. There is a saying that "Hou Kui has two pointed ends, neither loose nor curled nor curled edges", but he had never tasted tea in his previous life.

Seeing it here this time, I was really happy to see it. I took it out of the paint box and said to Sirio Leitch and Blackwell:

"I've only heard of this Taiping Monkey King before, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet! How about we take the opportunity to try it today."

Fang Lang was the boss and had already spoken. The two of them were naturally casual and didn't say much. They both nodded.

Blackwell obviously rarely drinks tea and doesn't understand much about this. He smiled and said directly:

"You are the boss, you have the final say, I can drink whatever I want."

Fang Lang was just being polite, and seeing that neither of them had any objections, he opened the packaging of Taiping Houkui and exposed the tea leaves inside.

Then he said to Uncle Fu who had not yet left:

"Uncle Fu, go ahead and do your work! We can do the rest ourselves."

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Fu Bo bowed slightly to Fang Lang with a smile on his face, then nodded to Sirio Leitch and Blackwell and said:

"Sir, you are busy. I will take my leave now. If you need anything, please feel free to give me your instructions."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Sirio Leitch and Blackwell both nodded to Forbes before sitting down at the tea table.

Fang Lang was holding the tea can at the tip of his nose and sniffing it, smelling the fragrance of the tea leaves. After the two of them sat down, he skillfully started making tea.

Sirio Leitch has long been familiar with this set of actions and is not surprised by it. Even now, under the influence of Fang Lang, he often makes tea in the office. But Blackwell is slightly surprised.

He was watching Fang Lang's movements with great interest.

"I heard from Blackwell earlier that you don't seem to be planning to continue working in the Brazilian Intelligence Agency?"

Fang Lang kept moving his hands and started talking about business.

Blackwell, who was watching Fang Lang in ecstasy with his movements, heard this and nodded with a wry smile:

"I have this idea. I don't have much interest in intelligence work. Now that the Intelligence Bureau is in this situation, I really have the idea of ​​​​changing positions."

Seeing that Blackwell was not hiding anything, Fang Lang continued his movements without raising his head, and said unhurriedly:

"Are there many people in your bureau who think like you?"

"Our director has already started working in the Ministry of National Defense and is preparing to be transferred back to the General Staff Headquarters. What do you think?"

"Since everyone is thinking of leaving, I think this is an opportunity! You are only a major now, and you won't be able to get a good position if you leave the Intelligence Bureau.

Why not just step forward and take over the position of intelligence chief? Under such circumstances, you should not encounter any resistance if you compete for this position!"

Fang Lang's words stunned Blackwell. He had never thought about this problem before. Fang Lang's meaning was very clear. Let him take this opportunity to take a step forward and win the position of intelligence chief. After all, he is also a lieutenant colonel.

level.

If he left the intelligence bureau directly, he would be a major at most, but if he took the gamble and took the initiative, he might become a lieutenant colonel. This was really a rare opportunity for him.

After all, this is a time of peace, and opportunities for promotion are rare. If the Intelligence Bureau is not disbanded so soon, it might not be a bad idea to use this director as a springboard!

Seeing Blackwell lost in thought, Fang Lang didn't say anything and continued to make tea unhurriedly. Sirio Leitch on the side seemed to have heard nothing, watching the small red clay stove cooing.

Steaming earthenware pot.

When Fang Lang poured the boiling water from the earthen pot into the Sancai bowl, his eyes also moved, as if he was a student who came to learn how to make tea.

"You mean, the Intelligence Bureau cannot be disbanded so easily?"

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"The Brazilian Intelligence Service is the only formal intelligence agency in Brazil. How could it be directly abolished?"

"Aren't there Americans who can provide us with intelligence now?"

Hearing what the other party said, Fang Lang felt that this guy was too naive, but it was not appropriate for him to reveal the Americans' sinister intentions.

"The Americans only said they would share the intelligence they obtained about Brazil, but they did not ask us to abolish the Brazilian Intelligence Agency!"

"Uh! I haven't said this yet, but now many generals of the National Defense Force are proposing to reduce the funding of the Intelligence Bureau!"

"Cutting funds and dismantling the Intelligence Bureau are two different things, right?

Besides, Defense Minister Marshal Moraes is not a short-sighted person. The reason why the intelligence agency's funds are being reduced now is simply because the Brazilian army participated in the European War and saw the cruelty of the European War and the combat effectiveness of advanced equipment.

Therefore, there is a fear of advanced equipment, and they want to desperately make up for the shortcomings in this area. Therefore, most of the military expenditures are spent on arms procurement.

But this situation will pass sooner or later, not to say it will completely improve, but it will definitely return to normal slowly."

Not to mention having the memory of future generations and knowing that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency will not be abolished, based on what Fang Lang sees now, the Brazilian Intelligence Agency cannot be easily abolished.

Now that the American CIA has just been established, there are many Hami factions in Brazil who are superstitious about the United States and are good at everything. They will never think that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency is a useless department.

Maybe they might even suggest that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency should be aligned with the CIA in the United States, but the military will certainly not allow its own intelligence agency to be placed under the jurisdiction of the government like the CIA in the United States.

The current situation within the Brazilian Intelligence Agency is more of a source of unfounded worries and self-inflicted chaos.

Of course, from another perspective, as an intelligence agency, the more low-key and concealed it is, the better. Only eyes hidden in the dark can see many secret things.

If the Ministry of National Defense really increases its investment in the Brazilian Intelligence Agency now and makes the Brazilian Intelligence Agency's position in the National Defense Forces appear very important, the CIA may be targeting them.

When the time comes, the Americans will definitely find a way to get involved, whether it's through bribery, pressure on the top brass to get the intelligence agency to cooperate, or even infiltrating the intelligence agency in the name of helping the Brazilian intelligence agency train professional intelligence personnel.

.

None of this is what Fang Lang wants to see, which means that the Intelligence Bureau may be used as cannon fodder by the CIA to fill holes.

Fang Lang's words obviously dispelled Blackwell's worries about the future of the Intelligence Agency, and the worries on his face were wiped away.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that? If that's the case, the position of director of the Intelligence Bureau is really a good choice."

Then he sighed slightly distressedly and said:

"Alas! But I really have no interest in intelligence work, nor any talent. I have not achieved any outstanding results after staying in the bureau for such a long time.

If this continues, the whole person will slowly become decadent."

From these words, Fang Lang could tell that the other party really had no intention of continuing to work in the Intelligence Bureau. Even if you stayed, you would only use the Intelligence Bureau as a springboard.

Moreover, Fang Lang also heard some hidden intentions of the other party, which was that he wanted to help him do activities. Fang Lang didn't mind this, after all, many friends meant many ways.

He and Blackwell were originally good friends, and they had a relationship with Adams Teach. The other party also provided a lot of help to him after entering the Intelligence Agency. Such a friend, if he can provide some help to the other party

, of course he won't mind.

But if the other party wants to leave the Brazilian Intelligence Agency now, it is obviously not in Fang Lang's interests. He also needs the other party to pave the way for Sirio Reci's development in the Intelligence Agency.

"I understand what you mean! Since you really want to leave the Intelligence Bureau, it's not impossible.

We are all brothers, so I will not hide some of my words. You are only a major now, and it will be difficult for you to get an ideal position.

As I said before, if you can take advantage of the current chaos in the Intelligence Bureau and seize the position of Director of Intelligence, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your rank by one level. When you become a lieutenant colonel and come out of the Intelligence Bureau, you will definitely be better than a major.

Get a better position, what do you think?"

As Fang Lang spoke, he handed the freshly brewed tea to Blackwell. Blackwell nodded upon hearing this, obviously very much approving of Fang Lang's opinion.

Sirio Leitch, who was on the side, after receiving the tea, habitually tapped the tea table with his hand. Blackwell, who was on the side, gave him a confused look.

Seeing the other party's gaze, Silio Reich smiled and nodded.

"The reason why I asked Sirio Leitch to date you this time, I believe you must understand, are you my brother, Sirio Leitch or the brother you introduced to me.

In Natal, Sirio Leitch was of great help to me. I came here specifically in the hope that you can help your brother within the Intelligence Agency.

Since this is the current situation in the Intelligence Bureau, I believe that it should not be difficult to transfer your brother to the Intelligence Bureau. With Silio Reich's talent in intelligence work, you may be able to establish yourself as the director.

A credit.

When you leave the Intelligence Bureau, you will have been promoted for meritorious service, and you will definitely be transferred to a better department. What do you think?"

Blackwell was unclear about Sirio Leitch's talent as mentioned by Fang Lang.

But Fang Lang is his brother, and he believes that the other party will not harm him. Moreover, from Fang Lang's words, he can also feel that the other party already has his own complete plan.

Although he didn't know why Fang Lang wanted to recommend Silio Leitch to the Intelligence Agency headquarters, as a brother, he thought it was normal to provide some help when he could.

Moreover, Fang Lang is willing to work for Sirio Leitch, does it mean that when he needs it in the future, the other party will also work for him?

"It seems that Brother Leitch's work ability is very strong! He has been approved by General Fang. What else is there to say? What position does Brother Leitch have in mind? Just tell me and I will help you run it."

Blackwell's cheerfulness was unexpected.

Hearing this, Sirio Reich smiled a little reservedly and said:

"Both of them are well-led by the two superiors. I obey the arrangements of the superiors on work matters."

This time Sirio Leitch did not call Fang Lang boss. Although Blackwell was Fang Lang's brother, he was still the chief of the Intelligence Bureau. Even if he didn't like the work of the Intelligence Bureau, he was more or less the leader of the Intelligence Bureau.

You can also learn some information knowledge.

If he knew that he had pledged his allegiance to General Fang, it might cause trouble. Moreover, this time Fang Lang did not explain to him what department he wanted to be assigned to and what work he was responsible for. If Blackwell asked him to do it himself, he would not

I didn’t know what to mention, and I was worried that mentioning it would affect General Fang’s plan.

As a subordinate, he believed that General Fang would not treat him badly, and all he had to do was obey orders and obey orders.
