Fang Lang looked at this information and fell into deep thought.
Since this was a mob, and Paul was still going to cooperate with them, wasn't he afraid that they would be blinded by money and start a fight among themselves? Or was he already prepared for them to start a fight among themselves?
If there is an internal conflict, how can he ensure his own safety?
In other words, how can we ensure that all this wealth will eventually fall into his pocket alone?
Unfortunately, Fang Lang is not Paul, or Leon.
He didn't know what this guy was thinking, but no matter what he thought, he was determined to take out the treasure.
I just don't know what they will do with this wealth.
After thinking for a long time without any clue, Fang Lang decided not to think about it any more.
Put down the information in your hand and deal with the matter at hand first.
...
...
The next morning, the golden sun pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, as if heralding that freedom and democracy had finally triumphed over dictatorship.
The inauguration ceremony of the new Brazilian president was held in the auditorium of the Congress.
The streets of Rio de Janeiro have long been cleaned, and military police are on duty at every intersection.
The whole atmosphere seemed very serious and tense.
Fang Lang did not go to the Capitol Auditorium alone to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president, but needed to meet up with senior military generals at the Ministry of National Defense Building before going together.
There are many old acquaintances of Fang Lang here, for example, the new Minister of Defense General Moraes, the Chief of Naval Staff General Crook, and General Leta from the Logistics Department, all gathered here.
Fang Lang took the initiative to step forward and greet everyone one by one, which surprised some military generals who had never seen Fang Lang. This young naval colonel was actually very familiar with these military bigwigs.
After much difficulty, Fang Lang finished communicating with several military leaders.
Colonel Teach of the Rio de Janeiro Naval Base stepped forward, grabbed Fang Lang and said:
"Fang, I didn't expect that you are so familiar with several generals. No wonder you were able to grow from a naval lieutenant to a naval colonel so quickly."
Hearing the strong hint of jealousy in Colonel Teach's words, Fang Lang understood what Colonel Teach was thinking.
However, he and Colonel Teach are indeed very good friends, so he doesn't mind these things.
Instead, he smiled and said:
"What do you mean? I got my position based on my military merits. What? You don't agree? How about we practice?"
"Hey! What are you practicing for? You are relying on your youth to bully me! Who in the whole army dares not to obey your brother Fang's military achievements?
But you are really amazing, how can you chat and laugh with so many generals?
It seems that your colonel rank will be raised again soon!
From now on, don't always hang around in front of me and let me salute you!"
Colonel Teach really admired the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart. When they first met, the other was a second lieutenant and he was a colonel.
Now the other party is a colonel, and I am still a colonel.
Although both of them belong to the same navy, the other is the commander-in-chief of the navy's most powerful First Fleet, while he is still the commander of a naval base.
Although the commander of the Capital Naval Base was a coveted position for many people, it was completely different from Fang Lang's position.
Fortunately, the two of them have a pretty good personal relationship, so maybe in the future there will be a chance to speak well of me in front of my superiors.
As for whether Fang Lang's military rank will be promoted again, there is almost no doubt about it. After all, the Navy Department is now seeking an aircraft carrier.
If the deal can be reached, aircraft carriers will definitely be given priority to the First Fleet.
It would be unreasonable not to award the commander of such a powerful naval fleet the rank of major general!
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Fang Lang was awarded the rank of major general.
"To be honest, I feel nervous when communicating with these generals, for fear of saying something wrong. If you want to communicate with them, I will take you with me next time."
"No, please don't. If I really had this blessing, I would have stopped staying in this naval base a long time ago.
To be honest, brother, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I guess the rank of colonel will be the limit of my career in this lifetime.
You are different. You are still young, have a bright future, and are capable. So, brother, I am very optimistic about you.
In the future, if you become rich, it would be great if you still remember me as your brother."
Fang Lang understood what Colonel Teach meant. This was because he was optimistic about his future and hoped that he would be able to enter the core of the army.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that he just wanted to be a big warlord, with guns in his hands and no fear in his heart.
As for the several positions at the core of the Ministry of National Defense, Fang Lang really had no interest in them.
Looking at Colonel Teach in front of him, Fang Lang suddenly had a very bold idea in his mind for no reason.
If you don’t want to join the core, you can support your own people to get in!
Having someone at the center can bring enormous benefits to oneself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up and down at Colonel Teach in front of him.
Seeing that Fang Lang didn't say anything, but instead looked him up and down with a strange look, Colonel Teach felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had been seen through.
Thinking that the door was not closed, he quickly tidied his clothes. Not finding anything unusual, he looked at Fang Lang nervously and said:
"Brother, can we talk it out? The look in your eyes makes me feel creepy."
Hearing Colonel Teach's words, Fang Lang couldn't help but laugh, and approached Colonel Teach and said:
"Hey man, how about I push you up there?"
Fang Lang's words stunned Colonel Teach, and he didn't react for a while.
After a long while, looking at Fang Lang's somewhat unfathomable eyes, Colonel Teach's eyes slowly began to widen, his face began to turn red, and his breathing began to become rapid.
He looked at Fang Lang in disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrongly.
He did not doubt whether Fang Lang had the ability. After all, his family had established a military-industrial group in Brazil.
Close relationship with the new president. Recently, I heard that a large automotive industry system project was introduced from Germany, which caused a surge of capital in Brazil and many of them participated in it.
For a time, Fangyuan Group’s status in Brazil was unparalleled. In a capitalist society, if you have money and capital, you have everything.
In the military, he is the commander of the largest and most powerful fleet in Brazil, and the only military group in the country that has naval, army and air force forces.
In diplomacy, he has close relations with senior military officials in many European and American countries.
With such a strong background, it would be very easy for Fang Lang to rise quickly in Brazil.
However, through his interactions with Fang Lang, he realized that Fang Lang was not a person who liked false fame, he preferred real power.
It’s not that the bigwigs in the Ministry of National Defense have no real power, but between the powerful people sitting in the office and the powerful people who hold heavy troops, Fang Lang prefers the latter.
Therefore, when he heard that Fang Lang intended to push him up, it took him a while to realize that he wanted to use the influence of the Fang family to raise his position.
For Colonel Teach, this news was certainly good news, but he also understood that there was no free lunch in the world.
If you want others to support you, you must be worthy of their investment.
What can I bring to him?
"Are you serious?"
But since Fang Lang mentioned this, Colonel Teach would certainly not refuse, as he did not have any deep background.
It turns out that his former military patron had retired several years ago, and he has been in his current position for nearly five years.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity of participating in the European war to gild his reputation, but unfortunately in the Brazilian army, no one would give you a chance without a strong background.
He realized very early on that following General Morais meant a bright future, but he didn't even have the chance to get close to him.
Looking at Colonel Teach who was looking at him seriously, Fang Lang knew that the other party understood what he meant.
After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Fang Lang lowered his voice and said:
"My First Fleet is too far away from the center. I need to have a friend of my own in the center, and you happen to be my friend, right?"
As a result, Colonel Teach looked at Fang Lang seriously and shook his head:
"No, we are not friends."
Fang Lang was stunned by these words. Just when Fang Lang was still wondering whether Teach wanted to sternly reject the idea of forming a clique for personal gain, he heard Colonel Teach continue:
"We are brothers."
Hearing Colonel Teach's heavy breathing, Fang Lang was so angry that he wanted to kick him in the butt.
Colonel Teach's attitude had been expressed very clearly. Fang Lang did not say anything more, but smiled and stretched out his right hand. Seeing this, Colonel Teach stepped forward with a somewhat excited look on his face and tightly grasped Fang Lang's hand.
Feeling the strength coming from his hands, Fang Lang laughed.
However, this verbal agreement has no binding force at all.
However, political groups value the exchange of interests. If I give you benefits, you must give me something in return.
It was not difficult for Fang Lang to help Colonel Teach. The key now was that he did not need Colonel Teach to give immediate rewards, and he could not confirm whether this political alliance was reliable.
However, judging from the relationship between Fang Lang and Colonel Teach, Colonel Teach should be someone who can be trusted.
"Haha... Yes, we are brothers. But we need to find a suitable opportunity. We still have to wait for now."
"Don't worry! Don't I understand these principles? I didn't even think about having the chance to go any further. Don't worry about it, brother. I have received your kindness."
Fang Lang smiled and did not continue to dwell on this topic.
However, both of them knew that the relationship of political alliance had been formally established. As for how the two sides would help each other in the future, it would depend on the specific situation in the later stage.
Colonel Teach also ended the topic in a timely manner and took the initiative to pull Fang Lang to introduce him to the officers of the Brazilian Navy who attended the presidential inauguration ceremony.
The current Brazilian Navy is far from being as powerful as it will be in the future. The Navy’s strength is very weak, and most of its warships are antiques from the World War I era.
Of course, we cannot underestimate the Brazilian Navy just because it is an antique. After all, the Brazilian Navy has closely followed the dreadnought era. During World War I, the Brazilian Navy had two Minas Gerais-class battleships.
Unfortunately, these two dreadnoughts, which were built by the British based on the British second-type dreadnought Bellerophon class and slightly modified, were ruined by the British and were weakened in both armor and firepower.
During World War II, these two battleships failed to catch the attention of the Americans, who were unwilling to play with them, so they could only be responsible for Brazil's coastal defense and escort work.
Basically, there is nothing to do.
