Major Remi saw that Fang Lang's attitude was pretty good, so he didn't care much and said:
"There are indeed some Nazi remnants who have not given up resistance, but please believe in the fighting spirit of our French army. We will soon find and eliminate these little rats."
Why did you have to bring up the fighting spirit of the French people when there were so many other things to bring up?
How can I trust you?
It seems that Germany has not really recovered its security yet!
"Then please trouble Major Remi to introduce us to the hotel where we can stay. I will be very grateful."
He turned around and said to Zhuang Xintian:
"Xintian, Major Remi said there are still Nazi remnants nearby, and ordered the brothers to bring all their weapons and stay alert.
If we ever encounter the remnants of the Nazis, we will do our duty as allies and help the Allies wipe out these damn little rats."
...
...
When Remi heard Fang Lang say that he brought weapons and equipment because he heeded his warning, he felt terrible.
You also say that you will fulfill your obligations as an ally and help us eliminate the remnants of the Nazis. Aren't you just pointing at a monk and calling him a bald donkey?
Don’t believe in the combat effectiveness of our French army!
Zhuang Xintian stood at attention and saluted immediately after hearing Fang Lang's order:
"Yes, boss."
Turned around and made arrangements.
Major Remi said quickly:
"Mr. Fang, don't worry, there is no need to worry about safety. Your team does not need to be fully armed."
Before Major Remi could finish, Fang Lang interrupted:
"Major Remi, I'm sorry! I'm a coward and afraid of death! So, the guards around me must be fully armed so that I can sleep well.
Don't worry, my guards won't wear military uniforms, and their weapons and equipment will be covered by woolen coats, so it won't be difficult for your army."
After saying that, he turned to the guards and said:
"Let's return the friendly forces' bullets to them. We are allies, so there is no need to worry about friendly forces arming us."
Your mother! Major Remi was stunned. It turned out that the bullets of his guards had been confiscated by the other side!
There is something behind what he said! What does it mean that we don't have to worry about friendly forces?
This is for me to hear!
Seeing the enemy guards returning the ammunition of various weapons to the French soldiers, Major Remy was so angry that he trembled all over.
Fortunately, I was standing straight just now and felt that this was my territory.
It turns out that all this time was a fake!
The French soldiers around them even had their bullets confiscated from their guns.
In other words, the other side had actually been disarming the French soldiers just now!
No wonder, he doesn’t even lift his butt when sitting on the sofa.
I have learned a lesson today. Fortunately, I have a good temper and didn't say anything nonsense. Otherwise, I might not be able to get out after entering here.
Just thinking about it makes me scared.
And you directly say that you are a coward and afraid of death. I suspect that you are afraid that others will not die.
I don't know if there will be any danger if I bring such an armed force to the vicinity of the occupation army headquarters. It seems that I need to explain the situation to my superiors later.
For a moment, Major Remi could not express any objection. He could only watch the fully armed guards hang Thompson submachine guns on the lining of their coats.
Major Remi's eyelids twitched when he saw this.
When Fang Lang and his companions arrived in Stuttgart, they had no vehicles to use. Fortunately, the French occupation forces came to help, and they took French jeeps and cars to the city of Stuttgart.
There were broken walls and ruins all along the way, and the taller buildings had obviously been bombed.
Most of the pedestrians on the road look pale and thin, as if they are malnourished.
Some even have physical disabilities.
This made Fang Lang realize once again the cruelty of war.
When Fang Lang and his companions arrived at the luxurious hotel Major Remi had mentioned, they could not help but be puzzled. This was a building that had obviously just been restored.
There are still workers doing renovations on the exterior wall.
However, compared to most of the surrounding buildings, it is indeed very well preserved.
Seeing this hotel without even a sign, Fang Lang didn't say much. Under the guidance of Major Remi, everyone checked in at the hotel lobby.
Major Remi left without looking back after saying that he was going to make an appointment for Fang Lang to meet the commander of the occupying forces.
Fang Lang smiled but said nothing.
Fang Lang originally thought that Germany should have already started post-war reconstruction at this time.
But from what we see now, it is obvious that there is no intention to prepare for reconstruction.
I don’t know if this is only the case in the French occupied areas, or if it is also the case in the occupied areas of other countries.
However, considering that Global Trade has acquired a shipyard in Germany, some places should have already started reconstruction.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Fang Lang.
The more dilapidated this place is, the more likely he should be able to recruit suitable talents.
After all, talented people also need to eat.
Perhaps Fang Lang was not one of the top talents, but if Fang Lang remembered correctly, Stuttgart's automobile industry was very developed.
Porsche's factory is located in Stuttgart, and Porsche is the main tank manufacturer of the German army. Fang Lang does not want to recruit many talents with experience in tank design and manufacturing.
But we can always find people who manufacture and produce cars!
Originally Fang Lang thought that he would have to wait for a long time before receiving a reply from the French occupation forces, but he did not expect that Major Remi would call Fang Lang's room two hours later.
It was agreed that they would go to the French occupation headquarters at nine o'clock the next morning to meet with Colonel Chatham, the commander of the occupation forces in Stuttgart.
As for whether the French army will retaliate against Fang Lang for what he did at the airport.
Fang Lang believed that Major Remi would not be stupid enough to report his stupidity directly to his superiors!
Of course, even if Major Remi reported it to his superiors, Fang Lang would not be worried.
I am not an ordinary businessman, although the purpose of my visit this time is for business activities.
But his military identity is a very advantageous amulet.
No matter what the relationship between France and Brazil is, it is impossible for them to attack a colonel officer of the other army.
And this time, the person he met with was the commander of the Stuttgart city occupation forces, not the commander of the state occupation forces.
The other party's purpose must be to be able to communicate on an equal footing.
Therefore, Fang Lang slept well in the hotel with peace of mind.
The next day, after having a not-so-rich German breakfast at the hotel, Fang Lang and others took the vehicle arranged by the hotel to the headquarters of the French occupation forces in Stuttgart.
After an inspection and briefing, Fang Lang finally met the commander of the French occupation forces in Stuttgart.
An elderly man who looked a little haggard, at least over fifty years old, as his hair was all white and his face was full of wrinkles.
"Hello, Colonel Chatham! I am Captain Fang Lang of the Brazilian Navy. Nice to meet you!"
Fang Lang stepped forward, saluted, and then extended his hand.
But because he was not wearing a military uniform, he looked a little awkward.
Colonel Chatham looked Fang Lang up and down, returned the greeting, and then reached out and shook hands with Fang Lang.
"Hello, Colonel Fang! Welcome to Stuttgart. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that Colonel Chatham clearly looked like the master of the city, Fang Lang smiled and got straight to the point:
“Colonel Chatham, I came here to recruit some professionally skilled workers for my family’s business, but I don’t know much about the local situation.
So, I would like to get some help from you.”
Fang Lang's words made Colonel Chatham frown slightly. He was an old soldier and was full of hatred for the Germans. He did not want to let the Germans easily return to normal life.
However, the other party is an ally, not his subordinates, so he certainly cannot say these words directly.
Fang Lang noticed Colonel Chatham's frowning expression and was a little worried that this old man might have misunderstood him.
I'm just here to recruit someone, there's no need to object!
Just when Fang Lang was still wondering, he heard Colonel Chatham say in a deep voice:
"Colonel Fang, Germany is still in the process of post-war settlement. I wonder what kind of people you want to recruit in Germany?"
Noticing that the other party mentioned the post-war settlement, Fang Lang had a guess in his mind. He estimated that the other party thought that he was trying to rescue war criminals in the name of recruiting people.
This must be made clear, otherwise it would be embarrassing if they really thought I was here to cause trouble and detained my people.
“Colonel Chatham, please rest assured that we are allies. I have also participated in the European war as a soldier of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and I will never do anything that harms the interests of the Allies.
The main reason I came to Germany this time is that after this war, we found that Brazil has serious deficiencies in basic industries.
We don’t even have the capacity to produce cars, so this time I came here first to recruit some skilled workers who have experience in car manufacturing and production.
I believe this will not harm your country's interests, because after we poach German workers, when Germany wants to rise again in the future, they will be slowed down by the lack of sufficient industrial workers. "
Having said that, Fang Lang noticed that the other person's brows began to gradually relax.
As soon as he saw this situation, Fang Lang understood what kind of person this Frenchman was.
Continued:
“Of course, the reason why I came to see you this time is to show my respect for our allies.
Secondly, I was thinking that the war had just ended and the country was in great difficulty everywhere, so I wanted to see if I could create some income for the Colonel.
So, this time I plan to pay three dollars to the local garrison commander as an agency fee for every outstanding technician I recruit locally.
However, these personnel must be recruited by ourselves and are real skilled workers with real technical capabilities.”
Fang Lang noticed that the old man's eyes began to glow. It seems that money is really a good thing!
When it was mentioned that every good technician could give the garrison commander three dollars, the old man's eyes changed.
A smile began to appear at the corners of his mouth.
In order to prevent the old man from thinking he was a human trafficker and pushing all the refugees onto him, Fang Lang quickly stated that he only wanted skilled workers.
I'm recruiting workers, not immigrating, so I must be selective!
There are already many German immigrants in Brazil now, and if more Germans continue to enter Brazil.
By then, if Germans become the main population of Brazil, it will be a huge loss.
"You mean you need to recruit people in Germany, and you can give me three dollars for each one you recruit, right?"
There was something urgent in Colonel Chatham's voice.
"Yes, you can understand it this way. I plan to conduct a week-long recruitment activity in the hotel where I am staying temporarily. After recruiting enough people, I will leave Germany and return to Brazil with the personnel. I hope Colonel Chatham can provide convenience."
