Listening to his brother Fang Lang's request to the newspaper, Fang Tao said in astonishment: "Brother, isn't it too early for you to tell me this now? We don't even have the shadow of the newspaper yet!"
"This is your first task. You must seize the next few days to find out if there are any newspapers in São Paulo that are interested in selling. If not, we will have to consider building a new newspaper ourselves. You also have to think about how to recruit employees for the newspaper." Fang Lang casually assigned the task. After all, this task was not urgent, so it was okay to wait.
"Okay, okay, stop bothering your brother. He's been on a boat and a plane and hasn't had any rest. It's getting dark now. Let your brother go to rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything." In the end, the mother loved her son the most. Nothing was more important than her son's health.
When everyone heard what mother Yang Xiuer said, they all spoke up and asked Fang Lang to rest early and talk about anything tomorrow.
Fang Lang slept very soundly that night, not sure if it was because he had returned to his real home or because he was exhausted from the journey. Fang Lang slept soundly, but others did not. Almost everyone who participated in the rally could not fall asleep after returning home, and even Fang Lang's father had trouble falling asleep for a long time.
The changes in his son now made him unrecognizable. The son who used to be impulsive and reckless, preferring to use his hands rather than his brain, has become a mature man who has a clear understanding of international trends and has a goal, method and organization in doing things. This makes Fang Xinshan, as a father, both happy and distressed. He doesn't know how much his son has suffered outside in the past two years to have such a life experience and such a big change.
What Fang Lang didn't know was that Captain Blackwell, who sent him home, did not return to the barracks after leaving his home, but drove directly to the São Paulo Police Department and found the police chief.
"Haha... Captain Blackwell, come in quickly. How come you have time to come and sit with me today?" Director Sebastiao Hodges stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face.
Sebastiao Hodges is the chief of the São Paulo Police Department. He is a white man of Portuguese descent. He is very short among white people, less than 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly protruding belly, which looks very disproportionate.
...
...
"Good afternoon, Chief Hodges. I came here today for some official business and need to communicate with you." Captain Blackwell also smiled, and it was obvious that the two knew each other very well. After all, they were the garrison commander and the police chief, both in charge of the armed forces of St. Paul.
"Oh! What do you need? Just go there in person, brother. It can be done with just one phone call. Come, come, come. Sit here. Someone, pour two cups of coffee!" Director Hodges very politely invited Captain Blackwell to sit in the meeting area, and turned to instruct the secretary outside the door.
"This time I received an order from my superiors to go to the airport to pick up an expeditionary force combat hero and bring him home. I also received clear instructions from my superiors to ensure the safety of this lieutenant during his stay in São Paulo. If anyone behaves unfriendly toward our comrades, our garrison will be authorized to take all necessary measures to eliminate the security risks." Captain Blackwell said with a serious face and a burning gaze staring at Chief Hodges.
When Chief Hodges heard Captain Blackwell's words and saw him staring at him, he felt a little uneasy and said quickly, "Brother, is there any misunderstanding? The lieutenant you are talking about should not have any conflict with me! Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Although this lieutenant has no direct conflict with you, as far as I know, his compatriots have been targeted and suppressed and bullied by another group of people some time ago, and your police station has not taken any measures to protect their interests! I came here today to remind you that no matter what benefits your police station has received, if this kind of situation happens again, you may have to face the investigation of our army and navy military police. Believe me, you can't afford this." Captain Blackwell continued to speak calmly, saying words that made Chief Hodges feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
"Brother, we are good brothers! Please tell me the name of this lieutenant. If the situation you said is true, I will come to his door to apologize tomorrow morning. No matter who the person targeting them is, even if it is Satan, I will make him pay a heavy price." Director Hodges said gritting his teeth.
"This lieutenant is now a favorite of Colonel Attilio Parisi of the Expeditionary Navy. He is also close friends with Colonel Teach of the Rio Naval Base. I even heard that he has a very good relationship with the American generals. This is why my superiors are so tough. I believe you can understand what I mean, right?" Captain Blackwell continued to tell him the information he knew about Fang Lang bit by bit.
When Chief Hodges heard that a lieutenant had close ties with so many military leaders, and even with American generals, he knew that if the lieutenant wanted to, he could even report his dissatisfaction directly to President Vargas. If the president knew that a Brazilian war hero had been wronged under his rule, he would not only have to consider whether he could keep his position, but also whether he could keep his head.
"Brother, please be sure to tell me the name of this lieutenant. I want to visit him early tomorrow morning. I wonder if it is convenient. As for what you said about someone targeting and bullying his compatriots, please tell me now. I will immediately send someone to arrest these damn bastards and hang them in front of the lieutenant to atone for their actions." Chief Hodges said loudly and sternly. Don't think that as a police chief, it is unreasonable to hang criminal suspects without trial at every turn. Brazil at this time is in a society that is slightly equal to a dictatorship, and the power of the police chief is greater than you can imagine.
"Chief Hodges, we are old friends, so I came here today to tell you all this. In fact, the order I received was to wipe out these people directly. However, this is your territory after all, and I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you can do it cleanly and neatly, then tomorrow morning I will come and take you to visit the lieutenant. If you are slow in doing things, then I will clean up the garbage first, and then report your performance to my superiors. Do you understand what I mean?" Captain Blackwell said with a slightly improved tone.
"Captain Blackwell, please rest assured. I will show you my attitude by six o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest. Please tell me who these bastards are!" Chief Hodges had already stood up, his eyes full of ruthlessness. As the police chief of Sao Paulo, one of the top three cities in Brazil, no matter how corrupt he was, he must be capable. If this kind of person gets ruthless, someone will definitely pay with their life.
"Then Mr. Chief, I will wait for your good news. The full name of our lieutenant is Fang Lang, and he is a Brazilian Chinese. As for who the person who targeted and bullied his compatriots is, do you need me to explain it to you?" Captain Blackwell finally said Fang Lang's name. He believed that as the police chief, if he still didn't know who the bad guy he was talking about was, then he would not have to do his job as police chief.
Finally, Captain Blackwell got the name of the lieutenant. Chief Hodges naturally knew who the captain was talking about, who was targeting and humiliating the Chinese.
Although the Chinese have been bullied by many races and ethnicities in São Paulo due to their small population proportion, the group that has targeted the Chinese the most recently are definitely the Japanese, who are from Asia like the Chinese. Perhaps this group of people feel that their motherland has become a powerful empire that can occupy the entire Asia and challenge the United States.
And the population in Sao Paulo is definitely superior to that of the Chinese, so before Brazil joined the Allies some time ago, it was very lively. And as far as Director Hodges knows, the Japanese now have established a gang organization in Brazil that belongs to the Japanese native branch - the Black Dragon Society.
Although this organization has been providing him with tributes regularly, they are now required to make sacrifices to reverse the military's dissatisfaction with him. He doesn't have to worry about any consequences when killing these little Japanese. Even if there are public protests, he can directly catch this so-called gangster organization in the name of espionage. Mr. Lieutenant is simply giving himself credit! I must thank him tomorrow.
