After hearing what Fang Lang said, Ji Wanchang was stunned for a moment.
After a long while, he asked weakly:
"But this still means we won't be able to capture the cities of Malaya and establish a truly independent nation!"
Fang Lang didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. After all, he couldn't tell the other party directly like a prophet that after a certain period of time, the British would naturally grant freedom to the Malaya region.
Even if the British do not respect their demands at that time, they already have enough power and can naturally take action on their own and get everything they want.
Even if the British do not support them, they can still get support from the Americans.
Moreover, the world was severely polarized at that time, and neither Britain nor the United States would want to see that. The most likely scenario was that they would have to accept the Soviet Union's status with all their might.
“If I tell you something now, you may not believe it.
But what I want to tell you is that there must be a reason why I let you develop like this.
...
...
As long as you follow the direction I have given you and quietly work in the rural areas of Malaya, you will definitely be able to achieve your desired goals in the future."
However, Ji Wanchang was obviously still skeptical about Fang Lang's ambiguous and charlatan-like answer.
After looking at Fang Lang with a troubled look on his face for a while, he slowly spoke:
"Mr. Fang, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter involves too much. Our organization is not a place where I have the final say.
After I go back, I must have a suitable reason to convince other people in our organization to support us in implementing this policy.
So, could you please reveal some inside information so that I can persuade others when I return?"
Looking at Ji Wanchang's embarrassed face, Fang Lang understood that what the other party said was true. After all, it was the first time they met each other and he didn't know him at all. It was impossible to make the other party completely trust him.
After thinking for a while, Fang Lang slowly said:
"Where should I start? In fact, this involves the issue of the change of world hegemony. The British Empire, the world's largest hegemon, has been declining.
The emerging capitalist hegemon, the United States, is rising rapidly.
Old capitalist powers like Britain and France own a large number of colonies around the world. These colonies are their private reserves, warehouses for cheap raw materials, and dumping grounds for goods.
For the United States, since it does not have such colonies, it certainly would not want other countries to have them. Moreover, after the World War, major colonies around the world have hoped to gain independent status.
The Americans will certainly be happy to see this happen and may even add fuel to the flames, so I said that your proposal to find Americans as your backers is a brilliant move.
Because the independence of the colonies is in the interests of the United States.
But the Americans' push for colonial independence was equivalent to cutting flesh from Britain and France.
On the surface, we are still allies, so the Americans cannot take any big actions. They can only move forward slowly, step by step.
And this requires you a long process.
That's why I asked you to take your time.
You can take advantage of this long period of time to gradually encroach on the countryside and expand your area of control in Malaya.
When the time is right, you can directly occupy the city and finally complete the occupation of the entire control area."
Although Ji Wanchang didn't quite understand what Fang Lang said about the strategic game between countries, he had a sense of awe.
Believe from the bottom of your heart that what the other person says is true.
Therefore, he nodded without hesitation:
"Okay, I believe you. When I go back, I will convince everyone to carry out their work according to your guiding ideology.
However, is there anything Mr. Fang can teach me about how to connect with Americans? "
Fang Lang looked at the other person helplessly, thinking that this guy was really rude and was working according to my guiding ideology.
Why do you regard me as a guiding light?
You want me to teach you everything? You won't ask me to send soldiers to help you fight the war!
I'm just Brazilian, not American, so I dare not have a head-on conflict with the British.
But the other party obviously believed in him and took his words as the golden rule. Fang Lang couldn't refuse and discourage the other party's enthusiasm.
After coughing twice, he pretended to take a deep puff of his cigar before slowly speaking:
"In fact, if you want to connect with the Americans, you don't even need to come to the United States."
After saying this, he deliberately kept the question in suspense, looked at Ji Wanchang's anxious expression, and picked up the cigar again and took a puff.
Ji Wanchang was obviously a man with little patience, and he couldn't wait to ask:
"Mr. Fang, please speak quickly!
If we don't come to the United States, how can we get in touch with the Americans? "
Seeing that the other party looked anxious and angry, Fang Lang shook his head helplessly and said, I am deliberately giving you time to think!
Exercise your thinking ability! You don't want to use your brain at all, you just want to eat ready-made food.
Can you really accomplish anything like this?
At this moment, Fang Lang felt that he was becoming less and less optimistic about the other party.
I could only sigh and said helplessly:
"Where is the nearest American force to your Malaya?"
"The Philippines! You mean let's connect with the Americans in the Philippines?"
It seems that the other party is not that stupid. Fang Lang stopped talking, took a puff of his cigar, and looked at Ji Wanchang who was lost in thought slowly.
At this time, Ji Wanchang seemed to have been enlightened, and sat at the table and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, Fang Lang's suggestion was taken to heart.
Seeing this, Fang Lang said no more. He got up and left the reception room. When he came outside, he saw Fang Xinshui and Mr. Situ drinking tea in another tea room outside.
He nodded to the two of them and said with a smile:
"Uncle, take Master Ji to our bank later, exchange the gold for US dollars, and then deposit it into his account, so that he can go directly to the United States to purchase arms!"
The two people who saw Fang Lang coming out all stood up. After hearing Fang Lang's words, Fang Xinshui nodded and said:
"no problem!"
He had no interest in knowing what Fang Lang and Ji Wanchang talked about in there, so he didn't ask.
Mr. Situ standing by also nodded at Fang Lang with a smile on his face.
Fang Lang also smiled and nodded, and said to Mr. Situ:
"Mr. Situ, I have things to do.
It is not convenient to stay for long, so I will go back first! I apologize for the poor hospitality! "
In fact, Fang Lang still admires Mr. Situ very much!
But there is no friendship between him and I, and I dare not talk about any common topics. After all, it will touch the 404 river crab god.
So, he simply said hello politely and hurriedly left Hongyi Hall.
After Fang Lang left, Fang Xinshui and Mr. Situ did not enter the reception room.
They knew very well that nothing would happen to Ji Wanchang here, and he hadn't come out yet, so something must have happened, so the two of them simply continued to wait outside.
About half an hour later, Ji Wanchang walked out of the reception room with an excited look on his face. He saw Fang Xinshui and Mr. Situ drinking tea and chatting outside, and hurriedly walked up to them and asked:
"You two, where is Mr. Fang?"
When Mr. Situ saw the expression on Ji Wanchang's face, he knew that this guy had gained a lot this time.
He smiled and said:
"Come and sit down and have some tea! What's wrong?
You look like you have something good going on!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wanchang couldn't hide his smile and laughed out loud:
"Master, thanks to you, I came to the right place this time.
With Mr. Fang's guidance, I believe our business will be smooth sailing."
"Haha...that's good. I hope you can really create a new world for the Chinese in Southeast Asia.
It's worth taking you on this trip today."
“Please rest assured, Mr. Situ. With Mr. Fang’s guidance, we are like lost lambs who have found the direction to move forward.
We just need to keep moving forward along the route planned by Mr. Fang.
We will surely be able to achieve our goals successfully!
By the way, where is Mr. Fang? I still have a lot of questions to ask him! "
Mr. Situ didn't know what Fang Lang talked about with Ji Wanchang. How come he became a different person in such a short period of time, full of energy and confidence.
But there are some things that I am obviously not suitable to ask.
Seeing that the other party repeatedly asked about Fang Lang's whereabouts, he could only turn his attention to Fang Xinshui.
Fang Xinshui was not surprised at Ji Wanchang's performance.
Think about their Fang family. In just a few years, they have achieved what they have today. This is all thanks to his nephew.
Therefore, he never had any doubts about the abilities of his nephew.
Ji Wanchang in front of him looked like he wanted to kowtow, and he was already used to it.
Hearing this kid saying that he still had many questions to ask, I rolled my eyes unconsciously in my heart, but said with a smile on my face:
“He was very busy at work, so he went back early to deal with other things.
If you have anything else to say, I can help you pass it on!"
Ji Wanchang sighed and said with disappointment:
"Is that so? That's such a pity.
I wonder if you can tell me Mr. Fang’s identity. I hope to thank him in person next time!"
Actually, there was nothing to hide about this. After all, too many people in Brazil knew Fang Lang's identity. Knowing the Fang family, it would be easy for him to inquire about people of this age who were protected by soldiers.
Therefore, Fang Xinshui did not hide anything and spoke directly:
"He is the leader of our Brazilian country, Fang Lang, the Brazilian Navy Rear Admiral and commander of the Rio de Janeiro Aircraft Carrier Strike Group.
If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. It’s not easy to find him.”
Ji Wanchang obviously didn't expect that the young man just now would have such an identity.
Although we don't know how much value this rear admiral has, just thinking about the commander of an aircraft carrier battle group, we can understand what kind of powerful military figure he is.
No wonder he is so familiar with analyzing the strategic layout of countries around the world.
At this moment, he was even more certain in his mind that if there was any problem, he would ask Fang Lang for advice as soon as possible.
Fang Xinshui noticed the shining look in Ji Wanchang's eyes and realized that it might be inappropriate for him to reveal Fang Lang's identity so easily.
So I quickly made amends:
"Just know his identity in your heart. I hope you won't spread anything he said to you. Otherwise, any consequences will be unbearable for you. Do you understand?"
Ji Wanchang was stunned by the blatant threat. He didn't quite understand. This was clearly a good opportunity to expand Mr. Fang's influence among the Chinese community, so why was it concealed?
