Looking at Major Mike's confident expression, Fang Lang knew he was not joking. After thinking for a moment, he tried to test him:
"Aircraft carrier?"
I thought Major Mike would just say there was nothing he could do.
Unexpectedly, Major Mike shook his head and said:
"This won't work. Even if I give it to you, you can't use it."
Are you sure that you are only a major, and are you confident enough to be a major? It is not that you cannot get an aircraft carrier, but that you cannot use it even if you get one.
But since Major Mike is so confident, what else can we say?
"Can we get B29?"
Major Mike still said calmly:
...
...
"How much do you want?"
Now it was Fang Lang's turn to be at a loss. This seemed to mean he could really get it!
“I don’t know what the unit price is.”
"There are many models of B29 now, with different prices. The lowest price of a bomber with a longer service life is no less than $300,000. The latest reconnaissance model costs $700,000 a piece."
Fang Lang couldn't help but gasp when he heard the price. Although Fang Lang knew that this was the latest strategic bomber in the United States, the price would definitely not be cheap.
However, this offer still scared Fang Lang. He shook his head and thought to himself that he couldn't afford it. Let's talk about C46 first!
"Does the minimum cost for a C46 have to be 12,000?"
"I never make random offers. How about this! I believe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. I will also give you five Pratt & Whitney R-2800-51 C46 equipped double-row cylinder, radial air-cooled piston engines.
Let you make inventory parts. In addition, you will be assigned ten flight instructors to stay here and teach your ten pilots how to fly the C46."
Fang Lang no longer hesitated and simply stretched out his right hand.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Mike finally smiled.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
…
"Hello! This is the Brazilian branch of Global Trading Co., Ltd. How can I help you?"
Fang Lang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he listened to the sweet voice of the goddess on the phone. It seemed that the Brazilian branch was developing well!
"I'm looking for Manager Radya Redondo. Tell him my name is Fang Lang."
Radya Redondo is the head of Global Trade's Brazilian branch. He is a tall and thin Italian man.
Fang Lang didn't have much contact with him, but Redondo knew very well who the boss of Global Trade was.
"Okay, wait a moment!"
Sure enough, Redondo's slightly excited voice soon came from the receiver:
"Hello! Is this Mr. Fang? I am Radya Redondo."
Fang Lang did not say any polite words to his company's employees, but instead gave orders himself:
"Yes, I'm Fang Lang. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"
Listening to the voice coming from the receiver, although it was a little distorted, Redondo immediately recognized who the owner of the voice was.
"Please wait a moment!"
Soon, Redondo's voice came from the receiver:
"Mr. Fang, it's convenient now, please speak!"
"I need you to find a way to spread a message to a specific group of people. It must be kept secret so that no one can find out about us. Can you do it?"
"Just to spread the news? No problem."
"Very good, listen carefully..."
Although the news Fang Lang told him on the phone was somewhat confusing to him, Redondo still listened to Fang Lang very patiently and repeatedly asked about the points he was unsure about.
"Hurry up, you only have three days, understand?"
"Mr. Fang, I understand! I'll arrange it right away."
Fang Lang hung up the phone, picked up the cigar next to him, and took a deep puff.
In the smoke, Fang Lang's eyes were vague and difficult to understand.
Soon, a piece of news began to spread among the Japanese in Brazil, and the winners and losers of the entire Chendao League organization were quarreling with each other.
"You idiots, didn't you swear that the British and American devils had won? Look, the current Brazilian president wants to surrender to the great empire."
"This news is absolutely false. The war is over and Japan has surrendered. How could President Vargas surrender to the Axis powers at this time?"
"The great empire will never be defeated. All of you capitulators should die."
"This news is definitely a conspiracy. Please stay calm. We need to analyze why such news came when the Empire has already been defeated and surrendered."
"You idiots, bastards, are you still believing the news that Japan has been defeated? This news only further proves the empire's invincible strength."
"If the Empire wins, I can understand President Vargas wanting to surrender. But why does the news say that the Brazilian military will refuse to surrender?
They even wanted to launch a military coup and refused to accept surrender. This doesn't make sense. The Empire has won, so the whole country should agree to surrender!"
"These military personnel who refused to surrender were obviously trained by the British and American devils. They must be on the side of the British and American devils! I say you are stupid, but you are unwilling to admit it. What a bastard!"
"If you think the Empire won, then why did the Brazilian expeditionary force return home victorious? You are some stubborn bastards."
"How do you know they are returning victoriously and not fleeing after defeat? Do you believe everything they say? This is clearly British and American war propaganda, you idiots."
The two sides were arguing with each other, and the winning group was obviously more willing to believe that the news was true.
The loser group wanted to persuade everyone to calm down, suspecting that there was some ulterior motive behind this matter.
But no one could convince anyone else.
Soon everyone went their separate ways, and the winners with similar views organized separate gatherings again to celebrate the great victory of the empire.
In the loser group, some people began to waver, not sure whether they were really misled by the propaganda.
After two days of fermentation, the news became known to almost all Japanese-Brazilians.
Even other Brazilians heard about it, and most Brazilians scoffed at the news that the Japanese said President Vargas was ready to surrender to Japan.
The paranoia that I was a Brazilian Japanese started to kick in again.
This made many Brazilian people begin to feel that these Japanese were simply unreasonable.
However, some Brazilian intellectuals and politicians saw different meanings in this news.
The recent political situation has been so volatile, and President Vargas' interference in the election has become increasingly blatant.
The opposition's voices are growing louder.
Is there really a military coup brewing beneath this seemingly calm lake?
After receiving this news, some Labor Party members reported it to President Vargas.
"You mean, these Japs think I'm going to surrender to Japan?"
“Mr. President, we all know that the war is over. We cannot surrender to a country that has already surrendered.
However, the news that the military may launch a coup d'état needs our attention."
“As the parties involved in this news, we can tell at a glance that this is fake news, so there is no need to be nervous.
My rights are granted by the Constitution. I promoted the military myself, so how could they launch a coup to overthrow me?
These are all conspiracies by the Social Democratic Party and the National Alliance to alienate us from the military. Don’t take them seriously.”
"Although this news may not be true, I think it's better for us to be cautious."
"What you said makes sense. Then order Rio Police Chief Amycus Lechner to monitor the military's movements!"
Similarly, the Brazilian military, as the other party involved in this news, more precisely General Dutra, of course also got wind of it.
When he first heard the news, he also found it funny, but then cold sweat broke out on him.
The Japanese actually predicted that he was going to launch a coup. Although the reasons were ridiculous, the result was the same.
This made him very annoyed, and he couldn't help but speed up the pace of deployment.
After two days of continuous discussions, the winning group of Brazilian Japanese finally came up with a resolution.
That is to fully support President Vargas's surrender to Japan.
As Japanese, we must shoulder the responsibilities of imperial subjects even if we are far away overseas.
In order to defeat the Brazilian military and oppose the surrender of the military coup, Japanese expatriates should take the initiative to protect the safety of President Vargas.
To this end, the Japanese winning group began to organize all its members, and all of them carried weapons and shouted slogans to protect the safety of President Vargas and gathered in the Brazilian capital Rio de Janeiro.
This made Rio de Janeiro Police Chief Lechner, who had just been assigned to monitor the military's movements, very angry.
A large number of police forces had to be deployed in the capital to maintain order.
Before we knew it, it was October 29th, and there were more than 40,000 Japanese gunmen gathered in Rio, and most of the Japanese men had joined in.
Among them, there are also some fanatical Japanese women.
No matter how the Rio police tried to drive them away, the Japanese gunmen remained unmoved and confronted the police, and several exchanges of gunfire took place.
Because they suspected that the police and the military were in cahoots, and the so-called protection of the presidential palace was actually putting the president under house arrest, preventing him from surrendering to Japan as he wanted.
At the same time, Fang Lang, who was far away in Natal, was contacting Colonel Teach through an encrypted phone call.
"Brother Teach, I have returned to Natal to support General Dutra. My 500 marines are ready to go into battle at any time."
"Haha... Fang, Natal is a small city. It won't have any impact on the overall situation in Rio! You just need to wait for the good news of our victory."
"Of course I know that Natal is insignificant, but with my five hundred men joining us, it will definitely provide some support to your operations, right?"
"Oh! How do you plan to support us? You are far away in Natal! By the time your warship reaches Rio, everything will have been settled."
