Chapter 652 News from the Ministry of Defense

In early February 1950, after a month of sailing, the Brazilian Navy led by Fang Lang visited the Port City Fleet and finally returned to the Natal Naval Base in Brazil after a long absence.

Returning with them were four passenger ships of the Global Shipping Company, which carried the first batch of workers and immigrants from the port city to Brazil.

Because of the stability of the situation in his hometown and the rapid growth of the Chinese population in Brazil, Fang Lang is also preparing to end his immigration from his hometown to Brazil.

Shen Dongxin is ready to run the industry in Brazil wholeheartedly and further improve the status of the Chinese in Brazil.

When Fang Lang returned, the welcome ceremony at the Natal Naval Base was very simple. There was no grand ceremony, except for the officers and soldiers of the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group, who lined up at the dock to greet their commander's return.

expressed a warm welcome.

"Boss, you are back. Recently, he heard some unusual noises from the Ministry of National Defense. He thinks there are some problems there. Could you please pay attention to them?"

Not long after returning to Natal, after Fang Lang organized a meeting with senior officers of the fleet, Chief of Staff de la Torre walked directly behind Fang Lang and walked into Fang Lang's office.

Seeing his chief of staff de la Torre, Fang Lang smiled and patted his arm, pointed at the tea table that had not been used for a long time and said:

"Haha... don't worry, his brother, I came just in time. When I went to Hong Kong City, he collected a lot of good tea. They will try it first tomorrow to see if there is anything I like. I will take two boxes back later.

."

Seeing Fang Lang's calm look, de la Torre didn't even bother to adjust his mentality. He nodded at Fang Lang's direction, took off his military cap, put it on the sofa in the office, turned around and pulled out the mahogany cover of the tea table.

The armchair goes on and on.

"Okay! That matter really isn't urgent. Why don't they come east and talk slowly?

He knew that when his boss went to Hong Kong City, he would definitely bring back a lot of good things. That’s why he came over early to report on his work.”

Fang Lang smiled and hung his military hat on the coat rack in the office, then slowly put the meeting documents in his lap behind his desk, then turned around and took out two boxes from the cabinet next to his desk.

The beautifully packaged tea leaves came to the main seat of the tea table.

He handed one of the boxes to de la Torre and said with a smile on his face:

"He told me that there are really rare tea leaves. The quantity in the market every year is less than five kilograms. He also spent a lot of effort to get just that little bit that time. I took the box back and drank it slowly.

Don't waste it casually, Dongji won't know how long he will beg for it if he wants to get it."

De La Torre's relationship with Fang Lang is naturally quite close now. When he heard Fang Lang talking about tea being so precious, he couldn't help but take a second look and found that although the packaging box of the tea was exquisite, there was nothing superfluous about it.

Text description.

But the more this is the case, the more precious he feels. Think about it, what can he do without showing his name and still be packaged with such an exquisite appearance?

Stretching out his legs to respectfully pick up the box of tea from the side, de la Torre said with a smile:

"The boss gave it to me, but he is not polite. Don't worry, boss, he will lock it in the safe when he gets back. No one can let him take out the tea."

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing.

"It's okay, I'll keep it well, but they agreed first! If he comes to my office, I'll have to donate it."

As Fang Lang spoke, he unpacked the box of tea that he had on his lap, and called to Qi Qingshan outside, asking the guards to heat up the small red clay stove and bring it in.

Hearing Fang Lang's greeting, Qi Qingshan asked a guard to push the small red clay stove that had been prepared. Now Fang Lang is very particular about drinking tea. Not only does a special person transport natural tea with excellent water quality from a distant mountain spring every day,

mineral water.

Even the charcoal used for boiling water in the small red clay stove is professional olive pit charcoal. Of course, the reason why there is such charcoal is very much due to Fang Lang's housekeeper Fu Bo at the Chinese Villa in Rio de Janeiro.

De La Torre watched the guards push in the small red clay stove that was already boiling water, smiled and said to Fang Lang:

"Isn't that natural? I naturally want to share the good tea sent by my boss.

Boss Bu Nao, I also know that although he has good tea there, he doesn’t have good water or charcoal like I do. I’ll see if he can..."

Upon hearing that, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing.

"My dear de la Torre, I never realized that my brother has such a side before!"

Hearing Fang Lang's joke, de la Torre smiled broadly.

"Haha... did the boss just find out now?"

The two chatted and laughed, and they could not feel any stranger after being separated for such a long time. After Fang Lang made tea and handed a cup to de la Torre, he said:

"Did the unusual noise I just mentioned about the Ministry of Defense refer to someone proposing that he serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Navy?"

De La Torre did not find it strange at all that Fang Lang could receive the news. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then nodded seriously and said:

"No, boss. With your ability and qualifications, it is indeed more than enough to serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Navy. However, he feels that at the time of the presidential transition, someone made that suggestion with bad intentions."

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and nodded, took the tea and took a sip before saying:

"Hehe... He already knows the matter. Does anyone know that Mokti Scalia, who is the most promising to become the new president, has a good relationship with him and wants to make a promotion in the name of promotion?

Take the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group away from his legs!

Is this a good idea? Not only does it sell well in front of the president, but it also allows him to be transferred away, so as to make sure that his calculations are wrong."

Hearing Fang Lang's words, de la Torre knew that Fang Lang had already received the news, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well in his heart that the reason why the current Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group has the current scale and combat effectiveness

, all benefited from Fang Lang’s heavy investment.

Did that heavy investment come from the Brazilian government, but from Fang Lang's private pocket? It can be said that the current Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group is actually Fang Lang's private army.

Once Fang Lang leaves that fleet, there will be no one else to control the fleet, not to mention spending such a large amount of money to continue the welfare of the original crew members and ensure the stability of military morale.

Just because the current army is not as corrupt as other armies, all the officers and soldiers will be incompatible with the new commander. I wonder if the new commander will mistreat the fleet according to the habits developed in other armies.

Can cause rebellion.

Especially, if someone dares to squander the military pay, the entire fleet may directly rebel. It can be said that in the entire Brazil, except Fang Lang, no one can play with that fleet.

He himself was able to achieve his current status only under Fang Lang's command. Naturally, he had a very clear understanding of this. During that time, no one came to him, but they were all directly ignored by him.

I refused and didn't even give them a chance to meet.

Now that Fang Lang had already prepared for this mistake, of course he would not say more.

"It's good for the boss to have an idea. Will it be easy for them to achieve tomorrow's achievements? Don't give those little guys a chance to take advantage of them."

Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed, filled another cup of tea for de la Torre and said:

"Haha... Actually, he doesn't resent being promoted to the post of deputy chief of staff of the Navy."

When de La Torre, who had just felt relieved, heard those words, his whole heart immediately lifted. He even put down the tea cup and looked at Fang Lang with a worried look on his face:

"Boss, I don't want to be fooled! The deputy chief of staff of the Navy has a false position at all and does not have much real power. As you just said, their purpose is to take away their fleet, you

But don’t be fooled!”

Seeing de la Torre's anxious face, Fang Lang smiled and stretched his legs to the east, indicating that he didn't want to be excited. After the other party calmed down and came back, he slowly said:

"Of course he knows that the deputy chief of staff is in vain, but he can't stay in the position of fleet commander forever! In that case, not only will they not be able to move for a few years, but even the officers and soldiers under their command will not be able to move.

Are there no opportunities for promotion?

That won’t work, it will make the soldiers lose their enterprising spirit.”

As soon as he said this, de la Torre was also stunned. He knew very well that being a soldier meant that everyone wanted to go further. As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

It can be difficult to get promoted in their fleet, but they must not lose the promotion path, which will make the soldiers lose the motivation to advance. He was already satisfied with his current achievements at that age, but the soldiers in the east of the command would not

So easy to satisfy.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Fang Lang worriedly.

"Can you, if you leave, they will definitely miss the east leg of their fleet. Then the fleet you have worked so hard to build will change hands."

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled indifferently.

"I think if the current Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group is replaced by a commander who is not recognized by him, will it be able to gain a firm foothold in their fleet?"

Hearing this, de la Torre shook his head firmly. He knew very well that the fleet was not Fang Lang's private army. Without Fang Lang's nod, there would be no one to command a single soldier in that army.

"Since he can't, what does he have to worry about? They think that since he has been promoted, they can just come and pick peaches, without even looking at how their fleet has been built up bit by bit.

And with his relationship in the Navy Department, even if he leaves, he can appoint the new fleet commander. If they want to get involved, they can just deny Hongyue's dream."

In fact, Fang Lang had never thought about leaving the fleet he had built so early, but the development speed of their family's business in those few years far exceeded his expectations.

At the same time, Xin Shiliang's investment in the political field has also seen results. It can be said that he no longer has to hide in remote Natal and bide his time.

Therefore, after he heard the report about the Intelligence Bureau's mistake, he seriously thought about how he should go east.

At this moment, no matter how slow De La Torre was, he could tell that Fang Lang really had the idea of ​​leaving the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group.

That made him very flustered. I wonder if he had wasted many years in the Navy. If Fang Lang had favored and supported him, he would have retired and gone home long ago. He would have no chance to live the life he has now.

If Fang Lang really left, he really felt a little confused. However, he soon understood another layer of Fang Lang's meaning, his expression was shocked, and he couldn't help but look at Fang Lang in surprise.

:

"Boss, if you really want to leave, don't ask him to leave. You must take him away."

Seeing de la Torre's appearance, Fang Lang realized that de la Torre had another meaning in his mind. He was a little surprised and a little confused and said:

"What? You don't want to stay in Donglai as the fleet commander?"

As soon as Fang Lang finished speaking, de la Torre shook his head and said:

"I don't want to. Does he know how much he weighs? Can you please let him come up with an idea? I'm sure there will be nothing wrong with him."

But no, when the war requires him to make a decision directly, he does not have that kind of decision-making ability."

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown slightly, and looked at de la Torre in the east with some surprise, asking him to tell him that de la Torre was not capable of serving as the commander of the army. Fang Lang didn't believe it. After all, the wrong party turned out to be

Have you ever served as chief officer?

Besides, even if you haven't held any responsibility, you can still learn slowly! Who doesn't grow up slowly like this? The reason why I say that now is probably more because I am worried about arousing Fang Lang's suspicion.

Thinking of that, Fang Lang shook his head helplessly, and did not continue to dwell on the topic, but slowly said:

"Did I pay attention to the situation between them and Argentina in those two years?"

As soldiers, although the imaginary enemy of the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group is not Argentina, they certainly want to pay attention to the neighboring country that is bent on competing with their country for dominance in South America.

Especially in recent years, with the arrival of Juan Peron in Taiwan, Argentina's situation abroad has undergone major changes. First of all, like Brazil, it took advantage of the favorable opportunity of World War II to export agricultural products and meat, and the economic situation

Got a big improvement.

Secondly, Juan Peron launched a five-year plan to carry out industrialization reforms in Argentina, which has initially achieved certain results.

Thirdly, after the end of World War II, many participating countries disarmed, and a lot of cheap and high-quality military equipment appeared on the market, allowing Argentina to upgrade the equipment of the entire army. Of course, Fang Lang's Shata Company naturally made a profit there.

The bowls are full.

Initially, although Juan Peron was an Argentinian, he was a descendant of Italian immigrants. During World War II, he went to Italy as an Italian to join the army, accepted the baptism of fascist ideas, and followed the Italian army to join the army.

There have been several wars.

Therefore, I very much recognized the fascist approach. Not only did I learn the policies of governing the country, I even protected a large number of war criminals who escaped from Germany.

Although those people brought some help to Argentina's industrialization, they also brought some dross to his political thinking.

That is different from Fang Lang. Although Fang Lang also looks for talents from Germany, what Fang Lang searches for are not technical talents. This is completely consistent with the practices of the United States and the Soviet Union, and no one will say anything.

But Argentina is not picky at all, and even welcomes those fascist officers who committed numerous crimes in East Asia to seek political asylum there.
