The people in the room responded enthusiastically, and many elderly people even started to cry. I don't know whether they were thinking about their own experiences or worried about their descendants.
Fang Lang carefully observed everyone's expressions, because some things cannot be spread out and known by others, so Fang Lang must be cautious. As the saying goes, "If the king is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not discreet, they will lose their lives; if several things are not discreet, harm will be done." So there are some things that Fang Lang does not want to say in public, but looking at the excited crowd in front of him, he knows that if he keeps it secret, he will hurt everyone's feelings, so he has to reveal some things on the surface.
"Everyone knows that our motherland is being invaded by the Japanese, and the Axis powers will soon be destroyed. My idea is that our people can go to our motherland to accept some refugees to Brazil, expand the population base of Chinese in Brazil, and preferably have large-scale immigration to change our population from a minority to a majority in some areas. Looking at the current government's approach, I believe the government will soon begin to promote real democratic elections, and population means votes. As long as there are votes, the status of Chinese will quickly improve."
Fang Lang would not tell everyone that he knew that China would be in chaos for several more years in the future, so he wanted to save some people, reduce casualties, and increase the proportion of Chinese in Brazil.
"It's right to expand our Chinese population. If our population is larger than that of the Japanese, we won't be as passive as we were in the early days." Someone spoke up in the crowd.
"But our motherland is so far away from us, and the cost of transportation is very high! We don't have that much money to carry out large-scale immigration!" someone else said.
"Yes! After the people come, we need to arrange for their livelihood. With our current strength, we won't be able to accommodate them if they come!"
"Yes! Although the current population of Sao Paulo is not very large, if we immigrate here on a large scale, will it cause resentment among others?"
"What are you thinking! The Brazilian government is still welcoming immigrants, but if we want to expand the population in Sao Paulo to the point where we can influence votes in the future, it may not be realistic. Maybe we need to shift the main battlefield."

Fang Lang was well prepared for the discussion below. He knew that when there are many people, there will be many ideas and many mouths. Often, many things fail before they even start because of this situation. Therefore, Fang Lang's idea is that everyone can establish an organization. It cannot be called a party, and it is best to be secret, just like the Skull and Bones Society and Freemasonry in the United States, to control everything in secret.
But he certainly would not bring it up directly here. He could only observe silently, combining his original body's memory, and examine each person to see which ones can be absorbed. First of all, the elderly will definitely not work. He needs people who are young and strong and can get things done.
However, the noise of discussion annoyed Fang Xinshui. He was the type who would rather take action than talk too much. So, when he saw everyone discussing endlessly, he got angry and shouted, "What are you all arguing about? You all have such ideas. Why didn't you bring them up before? Now that Lang'er has brought them up, you're getting excited, right? Get out if you keep arguing. Lang'er, just tell me what we should do. From now on, my gang will listen to your command. We'll do whatever you say."
Fang Xinshui is a troublemaker, and he is doing well in Sao Paulo, so he has a lot of prestige among young people. After hearing Fang Xinshui's words, everyone gradually quieted down and turned their eyes to Fang Lang, waiting to see what method he would use.
"Some things are too complicated for me to say directly here. I can only say that I have an idea in my mind and have already started to implement it. This time I came back and I also wanted to recruit some of my own people to participate in this work. I wonder if there are people in the elders' families who are willing to do something for us Chinese. They must be people who sincerely want to change the situation of us Chinese. We don't need a lot of people now, but they must be capable and dare to fight. If they are sure they want to participate, arrange for them to come to my house to find me tomorrow night."
When everyone heard Fang Lang's words, they were a little disappointed, and many people even felt that Fang Lang was secretive, not straightforward, and did not trust his own people. Fang Lang did not mind, because what he needed was someone who could completely obey his command, not a boss who came to give advice and put on airs.
Fang Lang's grandfather Fang Jiayong was also a little disappointed when he heard what Fang Lang said. He had originally thought that he could get the whole village to participate so that the old people like him could still make use of their remaining energy. However, seeing that his eldest grandson obviously had his own ideas and opinions, although he was a little disappointed, he also felt relieved that his grandson had grown up and had his own ideas. He also hurriedly said, "Since Lang'er already has his own plans and ideas, everyone should go back and talk to the young people in the family to see how many people are willing to participate. Come to our house tomorrow night. We old guys are old, so we won't participate, but we will definitely pay attention to the whole process. Okay, okay, everyone disperse!"
As one of the few remaining elders in the village, he has a relatively high prestige in the village. Because Brazil does not have the so-called grassroots elected officials such as village heads, many things are decided by several elders after discussion, which is equivalent to the village council. Because of the prestige of his great grandfather and his own contributions to the village when he was young, the old man has a lot of prestige among the elders in the village, which is equivalent to half of the village council speaker. When everyone saw the old man speak, they stopped talking and said they would go home to discuss with their families and arrange for the younger generation in their families to come tomorrow.
Some smart people in the village have already seen through Fang Lang's intention, which is to establish a group with Fang Lang as the core to implement his ideas, but they themselves don't have any good ideas, and they can't participate in it to get a share of the pie, so they can only return in disappointment.
After everyone in the village had left, Fang Xinshui pulled Fang Lang aside and said, "Good boy, I haven't seen you for two years. You've really made it. I don't care! You have to include me in this matter. I'm old, but I'm not as smart as you."
The father, who had been hiding in the back without saying anything, also spoke up at this time: "Lang'er's idea makes sense. When there are too many people, many things will spread everywhere. If the government knew that we want to help immigrants come here, they would not have any objections, but the Japanese would not be willing to do so. At that time, they would definitely set up many obstacles. It is better for fewer people to know."
Fang Lang saw that the only people left at home were his family members, so he stopped hiding it and said, "Actually, what I just said were all things on the surface. What I really want to do is to set up a secret Chinese organization, different from the gang founded by my uncle, but a secret organization that can infiltrate all areas of Brazil in the future, control the direction of some national policies, and even the presidential election. Because as far as I know, there is such an organization in the United States. Their power is very huge. Almost every American president is one of their people. They control the politics, economy, military, culture, and people's lives of the United States. It can be said that they are the shadow government of the United States, but they rarely come to the fore. I hope that we can't say that we can do it like them, but at least we can ensure that we have a pivotal position in Brazil, can protect the interests of us Chinese in Brazil, and provide necessary help to the motherland when there is an opportunity."
When they heard Fang Lang's words, they were stunned. They didn't expect that he would have such a lofty goal.
Fang Xinshui said excitedly: "Lang'er, my gang is a joke compared to yours. Just wait, I will go back and disband my gang today and come back to join your organization. If we have the opportunity to control the presidential election in the future, it will be really awesome."
"Uncle, don't be anxious. Gangs have their own advantages. Although Brazil will develop rapidly in the next few years, the political situation will be very chaotic. At that time, we will have many things that are inconvenient to deal with, and we can use gangs to deal with them. An organization must have both light and darkness. Therefore, not only can we not disband your gang, but we must also expand the scale of your gang as the number of Chinese people increases."
