Fang Lang naturally noticed the other party's expression, and unconsciously began to plan how to win over this general who was obviously not very valued in the army.

Of course, this was the first time the two had met and they did not know each other, so it was impossible for them to speak directly. They could only wait until they returned and fully investigated the background of Major General Tabio Mac before they could proceed to the next step.

Major General Tabio Mac turned his head to look at the surroundings, and saw that many naval and land forces were paying attention to this side. It was not a good idea to get too close to Fang Lang, so he could only raise his empty glass to signal the waiter not far away.

After the other party came over to refill the two people's drinks, Major General Tabio Mac raised his glass again and said to Fang Lang:

“With General Fang’s good words, I hope our division will have the opportunity to be assigned to General Fang’s jungle warfare training base to receive a complete jungle warfare training.

I hope General Fang will take good care of me when the time comes."

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, raised his glass and said to the other party:

"General Mike is so polite. Everyone should take care of each other. After the banquet, we will have a chance to get together."

Major General Tabio Mac didn't expect Fang Lang to be so straightforward. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse. He just clinked his glass with Fang Lang's, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp again, nodded calmly, and turned to leave.

...

...

Fang Lang was still a little puzzled as to why the other party turned around and left without saying anything, but as soon as the other party left, a voice came from behind him:

"General Fang, congratulations on such a great victory."

Hearing this voice, Fang Lang smiled and turned around and said:

"Haha... You're joking, brother. This isn't a big victory. There are only over 2,000 rebels in total."

It turned out that it was the Minister of Air Force, General Nero Mora, who walked over with a glass of wine. No wonder Major General Tabio Mac took the initiative to avoid him. He obviously didn't want people to hear him, an army general, complaining to a navy general.

Fang Lang would not blame General Nero Mora for interrupting his conversation. After all, this was not a good place to talk.

"Brother, just tell me this, but don't tell the army officers!

Otherwise, be careful that others may turn against you."

After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Fang Lang also laughed when he saw this.

Then General Nero Mora lowered his voice and said:

"Who was that Army General just now? He took the initiative to talk to you, which made the Army Minister very unhappy!"

Hearing this, Fang Lang finally understood why this guy came over and interrupted his conversation. It was obvious that he was worried that the Minister of the Army would hold a grudge against him.

However, Fang Lang does not work for the Minister of the Army, so he does not care about his attitude towards him.

He smiled indifferently and said:

"It was my first time meeting him, too. He said it was Major General Tabio Mac, the commander of the Army's Sixth Division. He heard that we had built a jungle warfare training base in the Amazon rainforest and wanted to learn more about it."

General Nero Mora obviously did not come to inquire about the content of the conversation between the two, but Fang Lang still chose to tell the other party the truth, hoping to use him to spread the content of the conversation between him and the other party to avoid causing adverse effects on the other party's work.

Hearing Fang Lang's explanation, Nero Mora was stunned at first, then he quickly reacted, smiled at Fang Lang, and said with understanding:

"The big guys in the Army Department are very arrogant. It's rare to see someone who takes the initiative to make friends. It seems that Major General Tabio Mac is not doing well in the Army!"

Then he skipped the topic and said:

"Brother, you really taught me a good lesson this time!

I thought you would really use the Marines to wipe out the rebels, but I didn't expect you to just mobilize all the bombers in your fleet and launch a massive bombing.

Wonderful, it’s really wonderful.

When General Crook volunteered to fight, I knew that you must have a complete plan, but I didn't expect that you would use your naval aviation.

If I had known this would be the case, I would have shamelessly intervened.

Give our air force some military merit as well."

Fang Lang laughed loudly upon hearing this:

"You are wrong to think so, buddy. If your Air Force really cooperates with us, the Army will be nervous, and then your life will be difficult.

After all, the army may not be able to do anything to our navy, but your air force is still very weak.

I think the biggest winner this time might be your Air Force."

Fang Lang's words stunned General Nero Mora, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Fang Lang meant.

He looked around and made sure that there was no one standing around them. Then he put his arm on Fang Lang's shoulder, put his arm around Fang Lang's shoulder and walked to the side of the banquet hall. They came to a small balcony and confirmed that there was no one outside.

He took two quick steps, pulled Fang Lang outside, and quickly lowered his voice and said:

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Tell me in detail."

Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, raised his glass and clinked it with the other party's, then looked around. The atmosphere outside the balcony was obviously much more relaxed than in the banquet hall.

I saw a small table and two small chairs on the small balcony. After taking a sip of wine, I pulled out a stool and sat down.

Seeing this, Major General Nero Mora turned around and gently closed the small door leading to the balcony, then sat next to Fang Lang and waited for Fang Lang's answer.

“We Chinese have an idiom called ‘When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains’, which means that when two parties are at a stalemate, a third party gains the benefit.

The current situation is that our navy has won this victory, but the army is obviously dissatisfied and will definitely find ways to suppress us.

And this is your air force's chance.

Think about it, this time we used bombers to carry out large-scale bombing on the rebels, and we achieved very good results. I believe that you are not the only one who has seen the important role of bombers on the battlefield.

The Army will see this as well, but since you have separated from the Army and become a separate service, it is obviously impossible for the Army to continue to have bombers.

Then at this time..."

Having said this, Fang Lang stopped talking and turned his head to look at the night sky in the distance. He put the wine glass under his lips and took a sip gently, looking relaxed and comfortable.

As for Major General Nero Mora, if he still didn't understand Fang Lang's meaning at this time, he would be really stupid.

He slapped his thigh fiercely and said:

"Haha... I understand what you mean, brother. Haha... You are right. In order to suppress your navy, the army will definitely not allow you to expand the size of your naval aviation force.

But if they want to get support from the air, they must support our air force in developing bombers. In this way, our air force may really get a bigger piece of the pie from next year's military budget! Haha...

What you said makes a lot of sense, brother. Thank you so much for this time!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, looked up and around, and when he saw everyone, he quickly approached Fang Lang and lowered his voice and said:

"Brother, do you think we should take this opportunity to propose an autonomous bomber research program?"

When Fang Lang heard this, he was delighted. Isn't this another business coming to the door?

But Fang Lang thought for a while before saying calmly:

"You can make the decision within the Air Force. I have no objection to this."

"I mean, does your Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company have relevant technical reserves in this regard?"

Nero Mora continued to lower his voice and looked at Fang Lang.

Fang Lang smiled and shrugged:

"As long as you can afford it, we can definitely build the model you want. You should know that Mr. Horton in our company is engaged in bomber research."

Hearing this, Nero Mora was overjoyed, and immediately raised his eyebrows at Fang Lang and laughed.

Seeing this, Fang Lang also smiled, raised his glass and gestured to Major General Nero Mora. The two of them clinked their glasses tacitly, and reached an agreement.

After Fang Lang took another sip of the wine, he seemed to remember something and said:

"However, this time it's not completely without harm for you."

General Nero Mora, who was secretly feeling proud of himself, stopped laughing when he heard this. He looked at Fang Lang with some uncertainty and said:

"Where did you get this from, brother?"

Fang Lang looked at General Nero Mora, who was about to get carried away, shook his wine glass, turned his gaze to the night sky, and said slowly:

"This time, in addition to bombers, we also used other aircraft types."

As soon as these words came out, General Nero Mora immediately understood what Fang Lang meant. After a moment of thought, his heart tightened.

The fingers holding the wine glass unconsciously exerted a little more force.

After a long while, he looked at Fang Lang and said:

"My friend, what I mean is that the Army may also realize the role of the Air Force transport aircraft in quickly deploying troops, and may intervene in the airborne troops project."

Fang Lang did not turn around, still leisurely shaking the wine glass in his hand, and asked in a relaxed tone:

"What do you think?"

It has to be said that Fang Lang's concerns were very likely. After all, although the army later attacked two small towns and gained some small credit, everyone knew what was going on in this matter.

This was just a shameless move by the Army to avoid losing too badly.

But the smart people in the army will definitely take out Fang Lang's tactics and conduct in-depth research. They will be able to realize the important role of bombers, and of course they will also realize the important role of transport aircraft in this battle.

Combined with the airborne tactics that have been widely used in other countries, the army will definitely want to establish its own airborne force.

General Nero Mora, who had been smiling just now, turned pale in an instant, and his fingers holding the wine glass almost broke it.

After thinking for a while, he slowly said:

"No, I have to take the initiative and propose the idea of ​​the Air Force building airborne troops to Marshal Morais tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Fang Lang turned his head and looked at the other party, then said slowly:

"If I were you, I wouldn't wait until tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned his gaze behind him and looked towards the banquet hall.

General Nero Mora understood Fang Lang's meaning. He was suggesting that he take advantage of the banquet to find General Moraes and present his ideas.

After a brief thought, Nero Mora stood up and raised his glass to Fang Lang and said:

"Brother, you're right. We really shouldn't wait until tomorrow."

Fang Lang did not stand up, but picked up the wine glass, gestured to the other party, and said:

"I think this is a very good opportunity. The Army just needs the support of your Air Force's bombers. At this time, if you propose that the Air Force form its own airborne force, it may be approved.

come on!"

After hearing Fang Lang's words, General Nero Mora's expression looked a little better, but he was not relieved.

After all, if the Air Force forms a bomber unit, it will obviously enhance the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, and this is obviously not something the Army asked the Air Force to do.

Maybe the Army will use this as a condition in exchange for support from the other side in forming an airborne force!

After thinking about it, he understood what Fang Lang meant.

It seems that I have to refuse to establish a bomber unit first. After all, since the navy already has a bomber unit, it seems to be a good excuse for my air force to not be in a hurry to have a bomber unit.

This is a good opportunity to propose a plan to develop a new type of bomber, expressing the desire to produce a new type of bomber domestically, in order to delay the time for the bomber to be equipped.
