Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Looking at General Clark's seemingly casual words, Fang Lang couldn't help but scream in his heart. It seemed that he wanted to test the Brazilian Navy's thoughts!

However, Fang Lang doesn't mind revealing the Brazilian Navy's plan. Because this plan is basically public. He believes that the U.S. military must have known it for a long time.

So Fang Lang remained calm and said casually:

"Hi! In the words of our Chinese people, I am a fox who pretends to be a tiger. Because John introduced Brigadier General Jackson to me. Brigadier General Jackson will be very helpful to me at work.

Therefore, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force believes that I have an American background, so I have been able to go smoothly to this day. This is all the credit of John, or in fact, it is all your credit."

Clark laughed loudly when he heard Fang Lang's straightforward words:

"I feel embarrassed when I hear you say that. Is it also my fault that you sank the German submarine in the Atlantic Ocean? This is all your real achievements!

It shows that you have achieved what you have achieved today with your own true ability. I was not as powerful as you when I was your age. I believe you will have greater achievements in the future."

Don’t they all say that Americans are straight-faced? This tall hat is all about digging a hole for me to jump into. Although Fang Lang was smiling, he couldn’t help but start beating in his heart.

"Hey! Judging from what you said, without the powerful warships supported by the United States, I would not have achieved victory. Moreover, I am also lucky, and I have encountered them all."

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Clark just laughed and did not refute, but said directly:

"I heard that the Brazilian Navy wants to build an aircraft carrier fleet. This is a big deal! If it is established, you will be the strongest naval force in South America."

So you are waiting for me here! Are you trying to test my attitude towards this matter? This is not a secret. Almost everyone in the Brazilian Navy knows about this plan.

Wasn’t I ordered to go to the U.S. Navy to learn how to command an aircraft carrier fleet? I was worried that I didn’t know how to ask! Now that you’ve asked me about it, I’ll just go ahead and follow the stick!

"What a big deal this is! We have also seen the direction of future naval warfare. In the future, if a country's navy does not have an aircraft carrier to support the scene, it will be embarrassed to say that it is a country with a navy.

Speaking of which, Uncle Clark, I really want to compete for the position of commander of Brazil's first aircraft carrier fleet. I wonder if I can follow you to learn the knowledge of commanding an aircraft carrier fleet in advance!"

Fang Lang's words obviously made Clark stunned. He didn't expect that the conversation would come to him. However, looking at Fang Lang's expectant expression and thinking about his relationship with him, it seemed that it was not appropriate to refuse!<

/p>

Although, throughout World War II, the United States built a total of 27 large aircraft carriers, 11 light aircraft carriers, and 117 escort aircraft carriers, for a total of 155 aircraft carriers!

Although the aircraft carriers during World War II are very different from those of later generations, they do not have much technical content. Even many so-called escort carriers are simply modified from large freighters.

However, this does not mean that the US government will agree to Latin American countries also having their own aircraft carrier fleets.

This is our own backyard. We all only need to provide the United States with raw materials and serve as a sales market for our products. Both diplomacy and military affairs must obey my command, and I will not allow you to become stronger.

This is why, although Brazil in later generations had its own aircraft carrier, it purchased second-hand goods from the United Kingdom and France instead of the United States.

It's not that Brazil doesn't want to buy American products, but that the United States doesn't sell to Brazil. A navy without aircraft carriers is basically an offshore defense fleet, and there is no way to go deep blue.

As a later generation, Fang Lang has a very thorough understanding of Americans' thoughts. Therefore, he has completely different ideas from most Brazilian naval officers today. Everyone thinks that Americans are good teachers and good friends.

Only Fang Lang knows that every candy given by this good teacher and good friend in everyone's eyes is poisonous. Therefore, you must be careful when accepting gifts.

Fang Lang, a pro-American in the eyes of everyone, is actually anti-American in his heart. All he wants is to use the United States, and he has never thought about turning to the United States.

Of course, if you know these things yourself, why bother telling others!

General Clark met Fang Lang's expectant gaze. After his eyes flickered for a moment, he had to smile and said:

"Haha... Fang, it would be great if all young people could learn as well as you! I absolutely support your idea. So be it!

You still have to command your own fleet to fight, and you must not leave your post casually. When the war is over, I recommend you to go to our American Naval Academy for further studies. After you finish your studies, come to my fleet and follow me.

Learn.”

Your sister's old fox, I am your son's savior. You said it so nicely, and you will go to your fleet to study after I finish studying. Wait until I finish studying.

You are about to retire! Why don’t you study in your fleet? What a waste of time to just study in school and let you Americans brainwash you!

I can't let you get away so easily, Fang Lang said as if he didn't hear anything:

"Hey! Uncle Clark, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm not good at studying. I get sleepy when I see textbooks. If you go to school to study, you might as well kill me.

You can rest assured that since I was appointed as the commander of the First Fleet, I have begun to train my deputies. Now it doesn’t matter whether my warships have me or not.

I can completely hand over the warship to their command, and then follow you wholeheartedly to learn aircraft carrier formation command for a period of time. Is that okay?"

Clark obviously did not expect that the young man in front of him would be so difficult to deal with, and he was quite embarrassed. Just as he was about to continue to refuse, he heard someone knocking on the office door.

I felt happy and quickly said with a solemn expression:

"Come in!"

The person who pushed the door open was an American officer. Fang Lang had seen him at the desk outside the door before entering the office. He should be General Clark's adjutant.

The officer smiled apologetically at Fang Lang and then said to General Clark:

"General, it's time for the meeting. Everyone is waiting for you. Do you want to postpone the meeting?"

Hearing the adjutant's words, Clark raised his eyebrows and felt happy. But with an annoyed expression on his face, he slapped his forehead, turned to Fang Lang and said:

"Oops! I'm so sorry. Fang, I almost forgot, I have a meeting to attend here. Let's do this! Let's stop talking here today.

I will ask the adjutant to go back with you to arrange your camp first, and you will have a good rest first. When John comes to Okinawa the day after tomorrow, we will have a good chat when we have dinner together."

Fang Lang couldn't help but secretly say a pity. Although, he knew that even if he studied with General Clark, he would not have the chance to experience a large-scale naval battle.

However, it would be a rare opportunity to learn about the command system, logistics support, communication methods and other aspects of fleet operations of the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet. These have all been tested in actual combat.

I don’t know if it’s really such a coincidence, but Fang Lang can’t continue to stalk him. He can only stand up and say:

"Uncle Clark, you are busy first! I will go back to arrange the fleet first, and we will have a good chat after John comes back. I won't disturb you today!"

General Clark also said politely:

"Alas! I can't help myself! We are also struggling with this battle. Therefore, we have been very busy with work recently. Fang, don't mind. When John arrives, I will definitely take time to have a good chat with you.

.

Steve, please take Colonel Fang personally to coordinate the camp. Make sure to choose a good place. Inform the logistics department to prioritize replenishing combat supplies to our allies, who want to enter the battle as soon as possible.

We must do our best to provide logistical support. Do you understand?"

Fang Lang didn't know if there was something in the explanation between General Clark and his adjutant.

He also deliberately called General Clark uncle in front of the adjutant and pointed out his relationship with John, just to make the adjutant believe that he had a good personal relationship with General Clark's family.

Although this may not necessarily bring any substantial benefits, Fang Lang believes that at least he will not be made things difficult.

The adjutant named Steve straightened his face, stood at attention, saluted and replied loudly:

"Yes, Your Majesty General."
