Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

With this battalion of Marines in hand, Fang Lang will have a lot of room for maneuver when he lands in Japan.

"Your Majesty General, judging from the current situation, the Japanese Navy does not have much remaining strength. My opinion is to let submarines join in and attack Japanese transport ships to gain practical experience.

And if I take the Marine Corps with me, I need two supply ships to accompany me. I don’t know if they can be provided.”

Hearing Fang Lang's words, General Crook did not hesitate and nodded directly:

"Of course, no problem. So what you mean is to just take the submarines House and Hope (the name given to the first submarine captured by the Navy) and a supply ship, right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency General, if we rush to Saipan on July 1 as required by the US military, our preparation time will be less than five days. I hope to immediately arrange for my Marine Corps Commander Duarte to go to the expeditionary force

Select a Marine.

And started to prepare supplies, so as to be able to set off in the early morning of June 5th. I wonder if you have any other instructions?"

Crook was obviously very satisfied with Fang Lang's vigorous and resolute style. He smiled, nodded, stood up and said:

"It seems that your time will indeed be very tight, so I won't waste your time this time, and you should seize the time to prepare. I am waiting for the good news of your triumphant return, and we will have a good chat after you return to Brazil.
I’ll be here today. I have to go to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, so I’ll leave first. Please teach little Japan a lesson for me.”

Seeing General Crook about to leave, Fang Lang and Colonel Parisi also quickly stood up to see him off, naturally they were polite.

After the two of them watched General Crook's motorcade leave the naval headquarters downstairs, Colonel Parisi patted Fang Lang's arm with excitement and said:

"Fang, you are really awesome. From now on, the Brazilian Navy will depend on you as the commander of the aircraft carrier battle group!"

Of course Fang Lang was also very excited, but he still said slightly reserved:

"We haven't set up the airs yet! It will be officially established after all the warships are obtained!"

"Haha...you don't look like a young man at all. If I could get such a position when I was as old as you, I would have jumped up a long time ago. But this also shows that you are indeed better than all of us."

All must be excellent.

When building such a large fleet this time, you can’t be too willful! Some positions will definitely be filled with people, so you have to be mentally prepared.”

From the fact that Colonel Parisi could say this to Fang Lang so straightforwardly, Fang Lang also knew that Colonel Parisi was indeed sincere to him, and as an old navy man, he must also have feelings for all personnel in the navy.

A certain understanding.

So Fang Lang thought about it and said to Colonel Parisi:

"What positions do you think I can take advantage of?"

Fang Lang's words also made Colonel Parisi fall into deep thought. After a long while, he finally said:

"First of all, you must be the captain of the cruiser. Then, now that you have arranged for de la Torre to be the submarine of the Hope, there should be no one competing with you. And you should also be the captain of the House.

Personnel can be arranged to take over.

As for the remaining warship officers, I suggest that you arrange some personnel in important positions and spread them out. Hand over the position of chief officer, so that you can arrange three of the eight warships for your own personnel, and no one will have any objections.
The commander of the Marine Corps has now been determined to be one of your own, so the most important thing now is that you must seize the time to find one of your own to serve as your future air force commander."

Although Fang Lang does not understand the distribution of forces and parties within the Brazilian Navy, Parisi must have his own reasons for saying this. It seems that he must have a basic understanding of the relationship between the personnel within the Brazilian Navy.

That’s it.

"What if I were seeking captaincy on another submarine?"

Colonel Parisi turned around twice and said:

"If it were me, I might not have a chance, but your status in the Brazilian Navy is quite special. I think you might have a chance to operate it. If not, just give it a try!"

"Well! Then I'll see if I can find a suitable candidate. By the way, why did you have to accept the cigar from General Crook just now! You know I don't smoke!"

I remember that Colonel Parisi used his feet twice to remind himself to accept the cigars handed out by General Crook. I am still a little confused now and wonder if there is any particularity.

After hearing Fang Lang's question, Colonel Parisi smiled mysteriously and said:

"Actually, this is a rumor I heard from the Brazilian Navy. It is said that General Crook likes smoking cigars very much. Whenever he meets a naval officer whom he admires very much and is ready to promote, he will invite him to smoke cigars together.<

/p>

If this officer accepts his cigar and shows the same hobby, he will regard you as a companion. Otherwise, this officer will soon be marginalized."

Fang Lang never expected that there is such a way to play. But he doesn't smoke cigars! He didn't light up the whole process just now, and he didn't know if he would be blacklisted!

"Ah! Is that so? Is it okay if I didn't smoke just now?"

"I don't know much about this. This is just a rumor. Since you accepted the cigar, it shouldn't be a big problem. Have you never smoked it?

As far as I know, due to the influence of General Crook, smoking cigars is very popular within the Brazilian Navy. Maybe you also need to learn this communicative skill."

Could this be the reason why the legendary King of Chu had such a slim waist that many people died of starvation in the palace? It seems that if he wants to integrate into the navy, he should also learn to smoke cigars!

Fang Lang has never smoked in his two lifetimes. It's not that he has never smoked. It's just that he doesn't know why he has no craving for cigarettes. Maybe he doesn't smoke enough. He also knows that smoking has no benefits, so he doesn't continue to smoke.

In fact, Fang Lang likes the aroma of cigars. It is said that smoking cigars not only smokes out the lungs, but also exhales the smoke quickly. Carefully recollect the aroma left in the mouth, throat and even nasal cavity. If necessary, you can take a breath of clean air, which will be better

Perceive the aroma of cigars.

Thinking of this, Fang Lang shook his head helplessly, never expecting that one day he would learn a bad habit in order to integrate into a group.

"Okay! It seems that I really need to develop a hobby for myself! You must seriously consider what I told you about setting up a fishing fleet! I am serious about this matter!

Our family will soon build a shipyard in Brazil with Universal Company. At that time, we will directly manufacture several advanced fishing boats and go to the depths of the Atlantic to make a fortune!"

After hearing this, Parisi laughed and said:

"You're such a scheming kid. You're targeting me, a guy who's about to retire."

In fact, Parisi is still very grateful to Fang Lang in his heart. At least he has a feeling of being needed. This shows that he is not useless.

Fang Lang also laughed and walked to his car, ready to start his pre-war preparations. He dared to open the car door, but remembered something again, and returned to Colonel Parisi and said:

"Colonel Parisi, there is something I would like to ask you for a favor. Is it possible?"

Colonel Parisi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile:

"You are all going to be my boss. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Obviously, this was to tell Fang Lang that he had agreed to his invitation and planned to set up a fishing company after returning to China.

Fang Lang felt even more relieved after hearing his answer. Since he had promised himself that he would establish a fishing company with him in the future, he would not deceive himself about many things.

"Because the time I entered the Brazilian Navy was too short, and the promotion speed was too fast. This will obviously make the foundation unstable. Therefore, I want you, a veteran navy, to help write a distribution of forces in the entire navy.
How many small groups are there in total? Those people belong to the same small group. Let me get familiar with our team to avoid making unnecessary mistakes."

Parisi was stunned by Fang Lang's request. He didn't expect that he would have such an idea.

After pondering for a while, he said:

"I really need to investigate this carefully, because some people's sides are not obvious. I can't guarantee it's accurate."

Fang Lang laughed and gave Parisi a hug before saying:

"It doesn't have to be 100% accurate, just give me a general understanding."

Parisi also smiled and said:

"No problem, I will hand it over to you when you come back."
