Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Fang Lang didn't expect General Morais to have such a big appetite, and couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue. But he couldn't help but yearn for it in his heart. If there really was an aircraft carrier fleet, he didn't know if he would have a chance.

Soon, Fang Lang put this unrealistic fantasy out of his head. He didn't have any experience in the air force. He probably couldn't handle the aircraft carrier fleet, so he had better not be so ambitious.

What's more, as the head of the government, he must not only consider the military aspect of this kind of thing, but also the political and economic aspects! Therefore, General Moraes's idea is destined to be impossible to realize.

As a subordinate, Fang Lang could not refute the words of his superiors! Therefore, Fang Lang could only remain silent and recite the invisibility spell silently in his mind, just like hoping that the school teacher would not point out his questions.

Unfortunately, this kind of spell is often not very effective. General Morais named Fang Langdao again:

"Fang Lang, what do you think?"

This makes Fang Lang's scalp numb. Shouldn't you discuss this kind of matter with the higher-ups of the Navy? Why do you keep asking for my opinion?

Then I thought about it, that’s not right! I’m going to be a captain in the navy soon, so wouldn’t I be a high-ranking officer in the navy? It seems there’s nothing wrong with asking my own opinion!

After thinking for a while, Fang Lang replied directly:

"If we can have an aircraft carrier fleet, then we will become the most powerful country in South America militarily. This is of course a good thing. However, if we want to maintain the operation of an aircraft carrier fleet, it is impossible with Brazil's economic strength.

It will be more difficult!"

This issue was obviously ignored by General Morais. After being raised by Fang Lang, he really had to give up his idea. He couldn't take back a fleet and then park it in the port to rust!

"Uh! What you said makes sense, so what kind of fleet do you think we should have? Or what kind of fleet do you want to have!"

It seems that General Moraes has not given up the idea of ​​taking over a fleet from the US military, but Fang Lang knows that as missiles become more and more advanced, all current warships will soon be eliminated.

However, naval officers and soldiers need a warship for training. It is best to form an aircraft carrier escort fleet without aircraft carriers, so that as long as you have one aircraft carrier, you can directly turn it into an aircraft carrier fleet.

"If it were me, I would want to form a fleet with one to two cruisers, four to six destroyers, two to three submarines, plus one to two supply ships."

General Morais and Colonel Parisi immediately understood what Fang Lang's words meant. Isn't this the escort formation of an aircraft carrier battle group!

It seems that everyone has the same long-term goal! This means we have a common ambition! Hello, comrades!

General Moraes nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the subject:

"If the United States is not willing to support us in participating in the Pacific Theater, do you still want to participate?"

Do you even need to ask? Of course I want to participate! This is a horse riding on Mount Fuji! As an occupying force, I landed in Japan, and I even paid for it myself to go!

But this must not be said to General Moraes, but Fang Lang can also taste some flavor from Moraes' words. It is obvious that General Moraes also wants to organize an army to participate!

This made Fang Lang confused. Fang Lang knew that the Brazilian Expeditionary Force was founded by General Moraes, and now he still wants to participate in the Pacific War. What does this mean?

Is Moraes really a war maniac? He likes fighting very much? It’s better not to express your stance in a hurry. Maybe General Moraes will arrange for you to participate without taking the initiative to say that you want to participate!

Thinking of this, Fang Lang pretended to be embarrassed:

"If there is no benefit, there seems to be no need for us to stick to it!"

Hearing Fang Lang's answer, General Moraes raised his eyes, "Young man! You are still too young, you still need to practice more!

"What benefits do you want?"

"Of course we need to add a few more warships! Otherwise, just relying on a destroyer and a submarine in my hands will be useless in the Pacific battlefield!"

"You don't think you will be able to play a big role when you arrive in the Pacific battlefield!"

"Then since the Americans don't welcome us, there's no benefit to it, so there's no need for us to join in the fun!"

"Didn't you just analyze why the Americans didn't want the UK to participate in the Pacific Theater, but the British still insisted on participating? How come you don't understand it when it's your own fault!"

"Oh! I understand, you have the right to speak. But even if we participate in the Pacific battlefield, we won't get much say!"

General Moraes shook his head, obviously rejecting Fang Lang's answer. However, he admired Fang Lang very much, so he continued to guide:

"Didn't you say that it is not in the interest of the United States for us to have a strong naval force? Do you think it is in the interest of the United Kingdom?"

Fang Lang thought for a while and finally understood what General Morais meant. He couldn't help but look at him with a shocked face, a bit dumbfounded. It seemed that he had really underestimated the heroes of the world!

Even a country like Brazil, which generally has a low cultural level, can have such strategic thinking, which Fang Lang can't help but admire. It seems that General Moraes is really not a simple soldier!

Looking at Fang Lang's expression, General Moraes smiled happily. Today's harvest is really great! I never expected that there would be such an outstanding young man in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

There is no doubt that the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is first and foremost an alliance. However, at the same time, the two countries have their own interests and demands.

Taking international status as an example, Britain, as an established world power, has always been in a leadership position. However, after being weakened by two world wars, the world's leadership has clearly begun to shift to the United States.

Can Britain let go easily at this time? It certainly can't. Therefore, differences began to appear between the two countries at this time. However, as the United States is Britain's creditor, Britain cannot directly resist.

Definitely when he was secretly holding back. General Moraes obviously took a fancy to this. It can be said that Brazil is completely pulled into a chariot by the Americans, and everything must be obeyed by the Americans.

However, when Americans treat their little Brazilian brother, they must both use him and guard against him.

General Moraes obviously hopes to participate in the Pacific battlefield through the British, even if he wants nothing, as long as he can get on the line with the British.

Brazil can then pursue some of its own interests in the competition between the United Kingdom and the United States.

This is why General Moraes asked whether it is in Britain's interest for Brazil to have a strong naval force. On the surface, there is definitely no benefit. After all, we are all in the Atlantic Ocean and may become competitors.

However, the United States has always regarded the entire Latin America as its own back garden. Is the United Kingdom really willing to let South America become the back garden of the United States?

Therefore, it is definitely in the interests of the United Kingdom for Brazil to step out at this time. With the British's troublesome character, they will definitely extend a hand of friendship to Brazil.

And Brazil can also take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of becoming a puppet of the United States, and everyone will be happy!

Although Fang Lang did not answer General Moraes's question, General Moraes already understood everything from Fang Lang's expression. Without Fang Lang opening his mouth, General Moraes spoke again:

"You also have your own connections in the UK this time, right?"

Fang Lang did not hide any questions about General Moraes and said directly:

"Yes, the captain of the Harry whom I rescued during this escort was the son of Fit Henderson, the deputy chief of staff of the British Navy."

Hearing Fang Lang's answer, General Moraes couldn't help but sigh, the young man in front of him is really blessed and enviable!

"If this is the case, then you young people can communicate more! I will let the government come forward to communicate and coordinate. You go back and prepare. No matter whether it succeeds or not, we will always try."

Originally, Fang Lang had given up on his grand goal of riding on Mount Fuji, but unexpectedly, he was taken back by General Morais and promoted to a higher political level.

The main goal of this meeting, regarding the ownership of Germany's new submarines, was simply left unanswered.

In fact, it is not settled. Fang Lang has made his position clear to General Moraes, and General Moraes has no objection.

Sometimes not objecting to something is just an attitude. Even sometimes not objecting is support.
