Caterpillar, which was acquired by Global Group not long ago, has the guidance of the mature solutions brought by Fang Lang from the future. After a period of day and night efforts, the design department has completed the designs of several types of engineering machinery required by Fang Lang and has trial-produced a batch.
The engineering team of Global Road & Bridge Company used these brand-new construction machinery and brand-new asphalt concrete materials to build a two-lane asphalt road between the Rockefeller Estate and Fang Lang's Estate in the Hudson River Valley of New York.
Mr. Alvin Rockefeller was full of praise after seeing the construction efficiency and the results after completion of this highway.
Global Road & Bridge, which has not yet started building highways in Europe, has received several road reconstruction orders from the United States, which makes Fang Lang very happy.
Global Road & Bridge Corporation also began to take this opportunity to recruit a large number of experts in road and bridge construction in the United States, and even hired several architecture professors from Cornell University to serve as consultants to the company.
As soon as the Pan-European Highway Administration Company signs an agreement with the local government, Global Road and Bridge Company will be ready to start construction.
While Fang Lang was thinking about these businesses, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Qi Qingshan's voice came from outside the door:
"Boss, Colonel Teach is here."
Hearing this, Fang Lang stopped thinking, slowly stood up, and straightened his appearance. Seeing that he was wearing a military uniform, he thought for a while before saying:
...
...
"Got it, I'll change my clothes and go downstairs."
Because he is now a major general, if he goes to meet Colonel Adams Teach in military uniform, it may make the other party feel uncomfortable, so Fang Lang decided to change into casual clothes before going down.
After all, the other party can be considered as one's friend.
Qi Qingshan, who was outside the door, heard this and said softly, "Yes, boss!" Then he stopped talking and stood quietly at the door, waiting for Fang Lang to come out.
Fang Lang took off his military uniform in the room, changed into a simple white shirt and black trousers, then pushed the door and walked out.
Under Qi Qingshan's guidance, they soon met Adams Teach, who was wearing a neat military uniform, in the restaurant.
When the other party saw Fang Lang in casual clothes, he was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted, walked quickly to Fang Lang, and saluted.
"Good afternoon, General!"
Seeing this, Fang Lang could only smile helplessly, standing and returning a military salute to the other party before saying:
"good afternoon!
Okay, man, we are friends, don't be so distant.
We haven't seen each other for such a long time. It's a rare opportunity to get together. Let's not play the superior-subordinate game! ”
Upon hearing this, Adams Teach immediately put down his saluting hand with a smile on his face and stretched it out to Fang Lang and said:
"Haha... Although we are friends, you are my superior and I must maintain absolute respect for you."
Fang Lang understood the meaning of the other party's words. After all, Fang Lang had long promised to push the other party to the top, and now he could be considered the other party's backer, so the other party was also showing his loyalty to him in disguise.
Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed, stretched out his hand and shook the other person's, and gave him another big hug, then let go of the other person and said:
“I received your kindness, but today is just a gathering of friends, there is no hierarchy.
Sit, sit, let’s eat and talk. ”
Adams Teach, who understood Fang Lang's attitude, did not hesitate any longer and sat back in his previous seat. Fang Lang also sat casually opposite him.
Seeing Fang Lang sitting down, Adams Teach directly stretched out his hand to greet the waiter and asked Fang Lang:
"How about some Chinese food? I've been to this club twice and the Chinese food here is pretty good."
Obviously, this was to cater to Fang Lang's taste, and Fang Lang would certainly not refuse. Otherwise, wouldn’t his purpose of arranging a Chinese chef to join the club be wasted?
There are more and more Chinese people in Brazil now, and Fang Lang is trying every means to integrate Chinese culture into the daily lives of Brazilians.
The Chinese chefs in the club are naturally one of such means. After all, Chinese cuisine has withstood the test of time in later generations.
Nodded and said:
"Of course I have no problem with that."
After receiving a positive answer, Colonel Adams Teach no longer hesitated and picked up the menu and started ordering food without hesitation.
Although the pronunciation of a foreigner ordering Chinese food was very strange, Fang Lang did not take it seriously. Instead, he watched it all with great interest.
After ordering four dishes, Adams Teach handed the menu to Fang Lang, indicating that Fang Lang wanted to take another look. Fang Lang saw that they were the only two eating, so he didn't waste any food and casually waved his hand and said:
"Four dishes are enough for the two of us."
Hearing this, Adams Teach closed the menu in his hand and handed it to the waiter beside him.
"That's all. Hurry up and serve the food."
The waitress was a Brazilian girl. Upon hearing this, she smiled slightly and nodded politely.
"Would you like some wine to go with the meal?"
Before Adams Teach could answer, Fang Lang waved his hand and said:
"No, I have other plans this afternoon."
Hearing the girl's question, Adams Teach, who had just realized something, could only shrug helplessly and say:
"Forget it! Work is more important."
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"If you want to drink, call Abu Bakari Blackwell next time and we can have a good time together as old friends.
I have something else to do this afternoon, so I'm not in a good mood for drinking. ”
Upon hearing this, Adams Teach knew that Fang Lang really had other plans and was not trying to give him face, so he nodded quickly and said:
“No problem, plenty of time for a drink!
When you are free, please let me know and I will be at your service. ”
Seeing this, the waiter understood that today's drinks could not be sold, so he stopped pestering and nodded politely:
"Please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After the waiter left, Fang Lang casually looked at Adam Stitch opposite him and said:
"Brother, what's the matter with you suddenly asking me out today?"
Given their relationship, Fang Lang didn't feel the need to beat around the bush, so he directly asked Colonel Teach about his purpose.
Hearing this, Colonel Teach didn't show any special expression. He just lowered his body with a little curiosity, approached Fang Lang and said:
"I heard that you came to the Navy Department this time to push the Ministry of National Defense to agree that we produce our own destroyers, right?"
There was no point in keeping this kind of thing secret, so Fang Lang never thought about hiding it from anyone. He nodded casually and said:
"Yes! It has been finalized. The Ministry of National Defense will issue an official document today, entrusting Fangyuan Shipyard to design and build our own destroyer."
"Oh! Did they say how many ships they were going to build?"
Fang Lang laughed when he heard Colonel Teach's question.
"Why? How many do you want? Didn't you just receive a Fletcher-class destroyer?
Has combat effectiveness been formed now? ”
Colonel Teach chuckled and said:
"I just heard some news and wanted to see if there is still a chance to add two more ships!
Since the new destroyer came into being, those old ships seem to be completely out of step. People below are asking me when they can get new ships! ”
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"This construction plan is experimental in nature. Its performance is similar to that of the Fletcher-class destroyer, and there are not many highlights. There will only be one ship.
As the capital's naval base, there is a very high possibility that it will be delivered to you for use after completion. ”
Hearing this, Colonel Teach's face immediately broke into a smile, but soon as if he had thought of something, he immediately calmed down and asked:
"Don't you need your aircraft carrier fleet?"
Fang Lang smiled and waved his hand:
"The current aircraft carrier fleet has taken shape, and the tonnage of its warships already accounts for more than half of the entire navy.
If we continue to fight for other brothers' shares, it would seem a bit greedy, and we will be besieged. ”
Colonel Teach shook his head repeatedly and said:
"No, no, I definitely won't have any objection."
Although the other party said so, if Fang Lang really brought all the warships under his command, even if he didn't say it, his subordinates would definitely have very strong opinions.
Fang Lang understood the ways of the world, so even though Colonel Teach said this, Fang Lang did not take it seriously and just smiled.
When Colonel Teach was about to say a few more words, he saw the waiters had already started to bring the dishes over, so he didn't continue. After the dishes were served, Fang Lang spoke directly:
"Okay, okay, there's no need to discuss this issue anymore. I understand your intentions.
But, you are also leading troops to fight, and you have brothers under your command. Even if you have no objection, do they have any objection?
So, if you're interested in this new destroyer, now's the time to start.
Do you get me?
Don't worry, I won't compete with you this time. Your opponents are the brothers from the other three naval bases. ”
Hearing this, Colonel Teach also sighed and said:
“You’re right, I have no objection, but the brothers below will definitely have an opinion.
Since you have no idea about this warship this time, I will really be rude! ”
Fang Lang nodded indifferently, picked up the chopsticks, gestured to Adams Teach, and started to pick up food for himself.
After taking a bite, I found it really tasted good. I nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Is this what you asked me out for today?"
Seeing that Fang Lang had already started eating, Adams Teach was no longer polite and picked up the chopsticks awkwardly. However, it was obviously not easy for someone who had never learned how to use chopsticks to use them.
Fang Lang laughed out loud upon seeing this and started to demonstrate to the other party. After a long while, Colonel Teach picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with trembling chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Seeing the other person's satisfied expression, Fang Lang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
While eating, Colonel Teach said with a smile:
"Of course, this is a brand new warship, so we can't give up the opportunity."
Fang Lang remembered his promise to him last time, and said casually while eating:
"Have you ever thought about going up there?"
Adams Teach, who was struggling with the chopsticks, paused and looked at Fang Lang in disbelief. After a long while, he said uncertainly:
"you mean?"
Seeing the other person's expression, Fang Lang smiled and gestured to the other person to eat and chat at the same time.
"How many years have you been the commander of the Rio de Janeiro Naval Base?"
Adams Teach swallowed hard, looked at Fang Lang eagerly and said:
"Six years!"
"Would you like to change seats?"
Looking at Fang Lang who was picking up the dishes casually, Adams Teach's heart began to shake violently. Ever since Fang Lang expressed this to him at the last gathering at the Ministry of Defense, he had been waiting for this moment.
I didn't expect all this to happen so suddenly.
He did not answer the question directly, but slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Fang Lang solemnly, and said word by word:
"Where do you need me to go?"
